Take NPC's off the street, same as a Rikti invasion

[/ QUOTE ]

No, no, no, no, no...

That stops a lot of story arcs dead.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry, I'll be more specific. Take CIVILIANS off the street... Instead of just driving/walking around like normal. It's immersion breaking. Have NPC mobs FIGHTING the zombies (in a non-damaging way).

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah right. That makes more sense.

Well had it been described more clearly, you might have had less people mention it.

I thought it was fairly clear...

O.k besides the stuff we alrdy know of i13/i14 what else couldnt they/we do now compared to like 2 yrs bk? (i know 2 yrs is a big gap technology wise)..does make u wonder

[/ QUOTE ]

I could tell you... But then I'd have to kill you to protect the secret.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah yes, mysterious sources. It seems to be the in thing this weekend...

I've created 10 or so characters this year. 2 of them have had travel powers. The rest have not had any (this has been the year of the "natural" character for me and being able to fly, run, jump or teleport just didn't fit into the concept).

In fact, the two flight characters I created, have rocket boots too, so there's a reason for them flying.

Travel powers aren't necessary at all. So having a way to avoid them isn't going to be gamebreaking - there are a lot of characters out there who don't have any at the moment. (Okay, well there's my 8, but using forum logic, that means everyone is doing it.)

I've done it a couple of times and it was instant.

So long as its a different pack to GvE then that would be the case

[/ QUOTE ]

Especially since, if I remember correctly, Mac users will be able to buy the GvE goodies (Pocket D TP and Jump-pack)as a separate add on from the website anyway?

Edit: No, apparently you can't. Was it just me, or was there not a pack which offered the Jump-pack and TP without the need to buy GvE? Or am I imagining things?

Edit 2: No, I think I was imagining things. Oh well, it should be available for them to do that anyway.

If it stays to the same degree as we've got it now.If it's the uber elite power of DOOOOOOM™, then it's gone too far.

I'll still buy it, but it'll have gone too far...

Eh? Most of Naylors missions are about 12 feet away from him.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, but miles away from the zone or even SG Teleport entrance.

[ QUOTE ]
no!, ahh well... at least we know what the 57 Month Veteran award is going to be for the rest of us

[/ QUOTE ]

Erm, no. Not unless they're really trying to [censored] people off who will have already bought it.

My mind it a great place, better than the world around it, more real

[/ QUOTE ]

If I wanted real, I wouldn't spend all my time in here!

[/ QUOTE ]

Are you talking about the game, the forum, or your own head?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes!!!

new arcs in my mind would be considered lower class

*Smacks IM upside the head*

Go wash your mouth out with soap and water.

*cough*

Hey, this sounds a bit noobish but I'm going for it anyway.

Let's say I put 3 damage IOs in a attack power. Then I put in a damage SO. Would the SO be considered useless because of the rules of ED?

Thanks.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pretty much. I can't remember the exact figures off the top of my head, but it's such a small increase that you might as well not bother.

Article on designing missions for Issue 13

Pretty neat!

Edit: Title was in broken English. Brain fuzzy!

Been here since issue 0, and i still not done positrons TF O.o

[/ QUOTE ]

Lucky you!

I've not done Hess, my single attempt to do Eden was ruined because back in those days trying to do it with a single blaster, 3 Tanks and a Troller just wasn't going to work.

They are on my list to do, but this game has so many distractions...

[ QUOTE ]
Do you get a free slot upon reaching that landmark? If so, what are you going to create?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's getting saved for those multitude of Shields characters I'm going to create...

Or maybe I'll finally stick a Dual Blades in there and play them. Who knows?

Today is my 4th anniversary of playing City Of Heroes.

I know some of you have gotten there first, but this is about me, so I'm going to be selfish that way.

I started in the heady days of the Council takeover of The Fifth Column. Fun times. Like many of you, I arrived in Atlas Park, heard the music and fell in love.

I've seen so many changes to the game, things that were loved and hated by many. *cough ED cough*

Most of the changes haven't had much on an impact on me. I've just enjoyed the thrill of being a superhero, rescuing many from the clutches of evil.

I've also enjoyed being a villain, slaughtering those who would stand in my way.

It's been 4 great years - I've introduced a few people who have come to love the game with me.

So this is my way of saying thanks.

Thanks to the people I've played with, thanks to the people who exist on this forum that I've gotten to know, thanks to those at NCSoft who run this game. Thanks for all those years of this game.

Now this is a retrospective, not a goodbye. So I say carry on and long may it continue.

Here's to the next 4. Make them fantastic.

And the fact we need to do 3 websites :-).

[/ QUOTE ]

City of Heroes websites? Or just the main PlayNC one?

Or is the City Vault getting it's own separate website?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd guess that City Vault would be a part of the main site.

[/ QUOTE ]

Me too. The language sites make more sense though.

Damn stupid practicality

so-is it a crappy thing to do? yes
is it against the rules? no

[/ QUOTE ]

It is if your constantly running said mobs into another group or player.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or repeatedly doing it to the same player over and over again.

Hmm, I'd need to be 40 years younger. I'm 44...

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm 31, but obviously was much less mature as a child than you were

Happy Birthday. Here's to many more.

Thanks - a bit daft not to add it on, but heck, I'll just get it to a nice round number and do it in my head
