OH! Is Wolverine (A) gonna fight Wolverine (X) ??!!

If so, which Wolverine (X).....out of which X-book.....unless they just go with the common "it's all at different points in time, so when in this book he's in Europe....and here he's in space....there's a time difference between these books."

So....if they include all the Wolverines from all the X-books (assuming each Wolverine is from different time points of time....)....we could see a fight of, what, 10 Wolverines that are a few days or hours apart on the time scale??? O_o




......Yes, this is a bitter post about overusing Wolverine =D


Mr. True Shot.

I think that it's NOT that it IS so good....it's just that they use subliminal messaging and hypnosis to make us keep coming back.

All hail Hypno-To....Hypno-CoH. O.o



Mr. True Shot

Adding diminishing returns to health with a defense and resistance nerf.....miscalculating the modifiers and ending up with -15hp.

While, the whole time, he didn't listen to people who told him not to do it....or fix things instead of just nerfing things to oblivion and wait 3 more years for a new system to go into place.


.........that's how I'd kill him



Mr. True Shot.


PS: Yes, I'm still bitter.

I didn't read all the way through, however, something came to mind.

Everyone remember the "Great Nipple Nerf?" Basically, a few weeks after release, skin colors were nerfed down to the few colors we have right now.

We used to be able to make many different skin colors, but due to tights looking like they were painted on, you could make a female with a skin color the same as her tights color....and she appeared naked.

To top it off, the breasts have pointy cones at each tip, so that it does appear the females were naked.

The color palette for skin was altered so that we couldn't make skin and the tights the same color, thus, no more nudes.

If the tights option is fixed so it doesn't look painted on.....or perhaps some tech is put in place: like you can't choose the same color skin as you do for your clothing....perhaps we could get skin colors back?

For me, there's only a few shades that look ok....besides natural skin, the pale blue and pale purple....some are just too dark for any real details to show through. (Or maybe i'm not creative enough *shrugs*)



Mr. True Shot.

I was thinking prequel. They do show cop cars and Alice holding (what I assume) is her child. The world looked pretty ok....after the last one had only a handful of suvivors and decimation everywhere.

It also fits in with the fact that a former dead zombie from the first movie is now no longer dead, nor even a zombie.

I dunno, could all be flash-backy....but....


Mr. True Shot.

Actually, it'd be hardest being the son or daughter of Aquaman.

In high school: "Wait wait wait....so you're family can breathe underwater....????"


Mr. True Shot.

Very true. I joined a team for arc 3 (I think it was)....and I got NOTHING out of it except the cut screens....the team moved too fast for me to read the wall of text.

I saw a foot behind a wall.....and that's about ALL I remember from it.

We need a special new window that catches the story and we can read while the action on the team is going insane and we need to be there and present and pushing buttons.....while the story unfolds in a list of spam before us.


Mr. True Shot.

So, if we're able to steer the direction of future development....I'd just like to ask for an update (or throw it in the market) of a plethora of new tiles sets AND selectable new power effects.

For example, instead of the chunky block of ice that is ice armor: a slick transparent ice coating that conforms to the character (and you can actually see the player underneath.) It can be made an alternative effect muchlike they did for the sonic blast animation eminating from the mouth or the hand.

I dunno, maybe it's not possible, i'm not much of a tech person....but I'd love these cosmetic changes!



That is all. Thank you.


TL;DR version: Jazz it up!



Mr. True Shot.

The Rikti (by the old story lines that I ran way back in 2004) were the biggest threat. They killed all the heroes and decimated Paragon. The war walls are up because of the Rikti.

Matter of fact when I saw the Vanguard issue coming up...I was like: UGH, Rikti AGAIN??!

I was sick of them and I never found them interesting.

The Praetorians were sorta neat in portal missions....I thought it'd be another boring enermy group, but then I ran a hero through praetoria....and it was fun and interesting with new spins. I like these antagonists....but, yes, I would like a new BIG threat. (BTW: when are we gonna see GW, LR, Mako, and BS from Praetoria. Will good GW have a goatee??!)



Mr. True Shot.

Didn't he die when Rogue touched him with her "death powers?"

Or...so I heard when I read a summary of what's been happening since I stopped reading comics. I also stopped somewhere around Civil War....or was it the Twelve? X-men in general has been horrible since around Emma Frost joining.

....then again, I also kept in mind he was the guy that cloned everyone....so, how easy would it be to say: Oh, you killed a clone.


*shrugs*


Mr. True Shot.

I picked up my Elec/Elec stalker recently after a long time off....paired with Scirroco....erm....sets (Villian higher level powers)....and the theme matches up so well (I like matching themes....my OCD I guess.)

I also love the whole set. Elec offensive and elec armor.....it's so amazing and I THINK my villian just became my favorite character....(I hate villians....this is why he's now a rogue =D )

Arrows blaster was my favorite (and my main character.) I paired him with devices...and took the device epp (not sure what it's called, but it has the long range rocket attack.) He's like a Batman with arrows (NO, he's NOT a Green Arrow....hate GA.) heh.

Ice control has always been fun for me as it was my first set. Re-rolled my original ice/storm as an ice/cold....different strategy....and I'm finding I REALLY miss Gale and hurricane (yeah, I know, ironic....I always felt they didn't match my power theme well and I wanted a pure "ice" secondary....now I miss 'em.) *sighs* My ice/cold just hit 26....I think the higher level cold domination powers will not make me miss /storm so much


Mr. True Shot.

I really liked First Ward as a Kin/Regen brute.

I liked how the contacts interacted....and the ending was pretty cool.

I thought I might be the only one that was droven crazy by "wall of text." I had to create a tab just for NPC chat to not miss anything in all the spam....plus, reading all the crap to get to damn mission.

Half of it is just "politics".....I hate politics....."I need you to do this for me otherwise this person will do X....and X would be viewed poorly by the people because it'll have effect Y. If effect Y happens, i'll receive some heat from Cole....and if that happens, my funding will dry up. If my funding dries up, I can no longer afford my Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter ice cream fetish....and with an accelerated metabolism, that's catastrophic!!! Go to the warehouse and kill everyone. K? Thx!"

10 pages of chat to explain a simple political motivation. I want: "*SCREAMS* SAVE MY KITTAH FROM THE FIRE!!!!!"

Ok, a little more detailed than that....but political 10 page motivations are yawn-fests....and I read NOT ONE word of that crazy girl (the CW-king's psychic girlfriend in our reality, her name escapes me atm).....I know it's not a First Ward contact....but, needs to be said nonetheless: Crazy talk I can't figure out, I'm going to click to the mission and read mission text and finish that contact confused. Seriously. =P

Other than making heroic missions heroic.....and villianous missions villianous....and perhaps, like someone said: the villians win sometimes. Maybe a "oh, well the portal to the underworld was established, but you saved a lot of people from dying, still.....at least you tried hero!"

However, I think First Ward is a great first step to making newer interesting stories. The mother Mayhem flashback was friggin' genius! I loved that one. I see the trend away from "kill alls" and "click glowies"....thank god. I said on the second week I played beta: Nice game, I just hope it's not all office buildings, blue caves, and sewers....and "kill all" and "glowie clicks." They are finally moving forward (maybe it's been for awhile, I just got back after 2 or 3 years off.)


....oh, and more new tilesets I cannot say that enough.



Mr. True Shot.

....and this is what always got me with the whole Lois Lane romance/marriage.

How does he have relations with his wife??!

I mean, on Valentine's day the medics and police department are called to their apartment because Lois Lane apparently blew her brains out....but strangely, no gun powder residue, nor even a shotgun to be found ANYWHERE!!! Hmmm.


Mr. True Shot.

Thanks DumpleBerry!

I haven't seen BlazingTiger nor Xerocurve around.

I think a lot of people I knew are on break.....my global friends haven't lit up once since I've been back. (Then again, I haven't checked much, but I think it alerts you when people log on....or so I remember.)



Mr. True Shot.

Hey All!



I'm back! (Sort of....my life is crazy, but I can at least log on again!)

You may all remember me leaving due to my computer blowing up and the recession punching me square in the face sometime around February 2009....I had to leave due to dire financial strains....due in part from the recession and in part from being in college.

Well, i've somewhat recovered. Graduated from college....working full time....and, while I don't have a computer of my own yet....I'm able to use my roommate's. (Which it seriously chugs along at the lowest settings >.< )

So, i'm back.....and since I've been gone....I see we now have incarnates, a holodeck, VIP status, morality choices....another world to start and explore in....re-vamped character creations....villians on hero side, heroes on villian side and cats sleeping with dogs! I LEAVE THIS GAME FOR 2.5 YEARS AND Y'ALL LET OUR WORLD TURN UPSIDE DOWN??! =D


(Are the weekly MoSTFs still going on? Have they turned into weekly "Masters of" runs for any and all TFs? (As I predicted when I heard the news?) )


Oh my, so much to process....I've been taking it slow. I'm still woozy over the fact that I need to respec all my characters to get the fitness line to become innate =D New powers for True Shot.....mmmmm.



Well, at least I can roll up a new guy and start in Galaxy City and get my head wrapped around the new world order.....




Mr. True Shot.

I am SO glad True Shot got that badge over christmas break with Brain Storms. I'll NEVER do that badge ever again on any character (even if Brain Storms still worked.)

See how I use in my guide to MoSTF below

V

Base Repricing

1) How will the repricing of bases affect you personally?

I will be able to afford more options in my base, making my life easier. Making my base bigger as well: as before it was too small for me to be "confortable with it." I can't FIT everything I needed to, but it was a trade off for no rent.

Now I can upgrade my base, fit in all the TPers, and anything else I want and need. Very great change. No use in having content if people will never see it, ya know ?

2) Will you dismantle your base to gain the additional prestige from the repricing?

Definitely yes.

3) How long would this process take you if you were to engage in this practice?

For some reason I'm not that inventive with my base layout, so not long

4) What are the positive and negative concerns regarding repricing?

Positives: More people will experience bases and see results. It's how it should be.

Negatives: What negatives ?


5) How will this feature affect you long term and short term?

Short Term: I will sell back my stuff for more prestige and upgrade my base. Perhaps one day I'll get a base size that doesn't feel crimped. I have a solo base....and it's well off as is....

Long Term: I can deck the base out (and hopefully with new options) have a seriously wicked base.

Base Salvage Exchange to Invention Salvage

1) What is the negative effect on your base for this feature implementation?

I expect it to balance out in the end. I only need SO much salvage to create things....and then I have them. Hopefully it's more of the common stuff that's required.

2) What is the positive effect on your base for this feature implementation?

No difference I can see (except when it's first implemented and there's a rush on the stuff for people rebuilding bases.)

3) How long will it take you to adjust to learning this new system?

3 seconds.

4) What side effects to this system do you currently see from transitioning the old to new system?

More people enjoying bases and building them. All good

5) What security concerns do you have regarding this change?

Security concerns ? &lt;.&lt; &gt;.&gt;

Just your friendly neighborhood..... O.O .....I mean, just a kindly, community relations blaster here.....I run MoSTFs all the time on Virtue.

While the guide I made is for Virtue Saturday night runs specifically, there is a lot in there about strategy in general on the MoSTF.

Mr. True Shot

Oh, nice Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, she was one screwed over AV that round


Mr. True Shot.

Interesting tidbit we just discovered.

We ran an all Dark powers MoSTF: Dark/Dark tank (me,) 3 Dark/* Scrappers and 4 Dark/* defenders. (We didn't succeed, but it was because our damage was seriously low and we were eating blues like they were going outta style.)

Anyway, on GW, we...obviously....didn't have a CM/Clarity again. So, we floored her To Hit.

Interesting thing happened. She hit me 2 or 3 times with her hold. But each time, I survived without any inspirations popped or anything. She was lucky if she took off a 1/4 of my health....once she took off no health from me even though I was floating...and no one was around to heal me (dark healers.)

Leads me to believe GW's hold/damage has two separate....guess you'd call it hit checks. One: If she holds you. Two: each tick of damage she does (and it must be small) has a to hit check as well.

I say the damage must be small, because sometimes she'd do more damage to me than other times, but the damage she did was variable. Like, at some points, her To Hit was lower than a previous time and she got less ticks of damage in. Sometimes she only got a few ticks and I barely took any damage...as in barely noticable.

This might be an interesting piece of knowledge for everyone. I haven't heard this theory before and it might help in some way against further GW battles.

Our defender got tagged by the Hold as well, and she took no damage too (tho she was in the heal radius and it may have helped her "take no damage." I was taunting from range as GW was getting enough heals off once in a blue moon to counteract our pathetic damage )




Mr. True Shot.

Hmm, i always put my -RES toggle on the tower team to take out the towers faster. I might have to try it on the tank tanking Recluse once.

Yes, caging the towers is definitely helpful Block the +To Hit. I've heard there's other things on that tower, including: boosting his END drain power, bane summoning, and Recharge speed.

It definitely makes DEF powers alot more functional with that blue tower down
