yeah! they borrowed Evil Superheroes and Benevolent Supervillians an ... capes ....an stuff!

we already have 3 EAT's that never happened anyhow.
Incarnates (only in lore)
Coralax (only as a enemy group redside)
Avilans/Avians - i cant remeber how it was spelled as it only made it to the planning stages.

so if you want Color coded Lanterns go wait for DCUO.
City of Heroes already has it's intergalactic peace keeping group, complete with rival opposition group.
they're called Kheldians.

also, considering how advanced the society is (there stuff plus future tech) it could have been the Minoan culture off the ilse of Crete where the myth of the minotaur comes from. the Minoans are beleived to have been destroyed in a volcanic eruption that devestated their island.

what i wanna know is where can i pre-order Going Rogue?
do i have to hit up my local EB Games/Game Stop/etc or can i just buy it on the NCsoft store like the booster packs?

Carp Melee
Carp Armor
The Faultline Trial
The Cathedral of Pain Trial
Going Rogue (i could be wrong about this one...)
Democratic Masterminds
a no GFX option for Blasters.

guess its time to fire up Maya again and see if i can animate dogs and horses.
on the othert hand this is a great excuse .. errr reason to visit the horse track hehehe.

"you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villian"

that said, I!d recommend withholding judgement on Emperor Cole's character until you've played through the forth coming story arcs in GR

hmmmm another day another information blackout.
i'm thinking this ship arrival isn't so imminent.

... hang on ... checking my dev translator...
ah right. imminent is equivilant to an "almost ready" less than soon.

Have to agree. There is a lot about the Rikti-fication of the mods that I'd love to see explained sometime today and not soon (tm).

Did I miss an announcement or something?
I thought the winter event was supposed to end on the 5th and it's still live when Last I checked (this morning). For that matter the usual Friday morning server reset was absent as well.

Only thing I can think of is mebbe power customization was more resource intensive than I thought.
Or something is coming that's just as intense programing wise.
I can only hope.

And yes I am quite eager for new info on i17 or GR if not both.

What gets me is the devs talking about all the new hiring that was going on when NCsoft took over and yet issue to issue the waiting has gotten longer and longer. From acouple of months to half a year per. Maybe it's just me , I dunno

and don't forget, when the devs say "January" what they mean is on the last day of the month and during the final minutes of the day before midnight most likely.

or since its not on the forums directly from one of them they could always just deny it or say it was hopeful thinking on their part. then they'll start the closed beta in the final moments of Q1 (however they choose to define that).

so we had i16 launch in mid september, Hero con in the end of October and the natural booster sometime after that. if Going Rogue goes live at some point past march i'd hope that i17 is not part of it and is released beforehand.
going 6 months or more in between issues is just painful not to mention boring.

what was the last content release? Cimerora? Reichsman TF/SF?

there's a show on History Channel called "Lock n' Load with R. Lee Emery" that i think has some good answers for you as they get into the entire evolution of fire arms and other weapons and explain the basic mechanics of it as well. each episode they start with the original historical model and work their way up to the modern day equivalant with certain benchmarks along the way. it's about to be released on DVD unless you have other sources.

i have more heroes than villians but i focus more on my villans than my heroes.
something about the escapist element i think.
after having to do the right thing at work all day its very satisfying to be able to come home and crush the weak and take what i want for no better reason than i can and i want to.

a pit of Hellions
a grave of Skulls
a pond of Hydra
a storm of outcasts.
a pile of igneous

What bothers me most about it is the same thing that bothers me about ice.
the limited colors

yes i know we're lucky to have any customization at all but i'd love to be able to have the full spread of colors and not just the ones they deem appropriate to use.

while i find the sfx of buffs cool and all i've never relied on them to tell me what buffs i have engaged. i've always looked to my buff bar and now i also use the combat attributes to see where the numbers are at.

on the flip side, color customization has made it very easy to see when some of my debuffs are applied to enemies. like a bright pink "Darkest Night" toggle that i barely used to be be able to tell was applied.

nevermind AT's, you're going to see a lot of Empaths go bad.
Controller or Defender, it doesn't matter.

what about Jurassiks twisted metal & car for warmace or stone melee/assault?
hell what abotu the coralax hammer for stone melee/assault.

long shots but what the heck.

idnoclip
the no clipping mode from Doom2. it'd sure make those cave missions a lot simpler.

i dont mind the current stone armor look but wouldn't it be simpler to implement Granite under the Weapon customization for different models that could be colored perhaps?
some of us miss the old "poo armor" look.

ultimately though i'm all for more options not less. so if you need to change it to do it:
go for it.

At Work I'm pretty much a Mastermind. i have my minions that i give orders to and have them carry out my orders.
my job title is "Controller" oddly enough.
during my off hours i'm pretty much a Tank, taking the heat off my friends so they can get things done, and even if only because i'm a <CENSORED> magnet i think.

perhaps not the worst but i know a kinetics/energy blast defender can be problematic as kinetics likes things tightly grouped and energy blast likes to blow them apart.

might be a bug, might've already been mentioned but i tried adjusting the heigh on my Crab Veat today and foound that the gender/height page didn t come up for it.
