So if you open the image in a new tab, or look at the image source code, what is the image URL?

Sure it's not a problem with your browser? I get a different (and more valid) picture for that article...

Was wondering what was going on with the site, and wish I knew enough about web programming to help you out TonyV
OF COURSE I am wishing you the best of luck and thank you for looking out for the community!

You'll never see the Info Terminals outside of Paragon City due to their server resource use. It's why they were never put into the Rogue Isles or Praetoria. In fact, I'm not even sure why they were added back to Atlas Park during the zone revamp.
That being said, I think being able to find certain things, like how to get to First Ward, should be made easier. Other things, like the locations of badges, should be left to 3rd party sites IMPO - if the devs wanted to make exploration badges easier to find, for example, they'd just put map markers on the map (which you can already get from a third party site if that's how you want to find them). -

Interesting. I wonder if that derived from the Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life", where a child with godlike powers would "wish [people/things] away to the cornfield" if they displeased him. IMO, it was an extremely dark episode, even by original Twilight Zone standards.

Been watching the back episodes on Netflix to reminisce. Got the new ep on the DVR, just need to watch it this weekend
Just watching them make fun of Jersey Shore will be hilarious enough. And it will be my only reason to watch MTV at all. -

As a godlike being (granted, he's imprisoned) in a magical dimension working with people who have all kinds of superpowers, you'd think it wouldn't actually be very difficult for someone to rig him some kind of long-range communication. I would personally pitch in, both inf and labor, for the Paragon Phone Company to build some towers out there.

Actually the answer is that he's a jerk. During the task force he demonstrates the ability to communicate telepathically with Azuria so he's clearly capable of talking to you telepathically, he just prefers to make you walk. -

It's actually not a City of Villains trailer. This is the original trailer for the (now deceased) Korean version of City of Heroes, which lamentably flopped.
The character to which you are referring is Spark Blade, one of the signature characters from the Korean launch. Lamentably, like Faultline, he had signature powers that could never be used in combination with each other in normal player ATs (and back then, sets like Dual Pistols didn't even exist - or villain ATs, for that matter). Furthermore, he's never existed in-game.
I'd love to make a character like this, but his power combos don't exist. Perhaps when they expand the APP sets, we'll be able to get things like Blade Mastery or Weapons mastery, so we can add some blade attacks to Blasters, or pistol attacks to Scrappers. -

This ties in with the whole VIP account thing. I was all excited about it when I thought you had to earn your way onto the server. I had visions of a server filled with experienced gamers. Little to no power leveling, no stupid questions, no smack talk, just awesomeness everywhere. Great teams, great people. Like it was way back. When I realized you could just buy into it I was really happy I didn't transfer anybody there. It's no different then any other server now. Somedays I think it has more newb's then all the other servers combined. -Disappointed

Quote:And yet, the same codes were still being sold on eBay for non-trivial sums of money. Did those players who purchased them really do anything special to receive them, other than plunk down dozens or hundreds of dollars? It's the sort of thing that made NCSoft leery about giving these codes out at cons in the first place, and ensuring that they were typically only given out to people with accounts (although that still didn't stop the eBay trade).Originally Posted by Norse Star
Am I the only one a little disappointed with devs repeatedly offering "limited edition" content to the general game community for a fee?
The most recent costumes available for purchase that were originally a special issue item given out at con events are really a disapointment.
Yes, I too have always wanted them, but it was way cooler to see them on somebody who earned them then somebody who just purchased them.
Now, players who want to purchase the codes can do so legitimately, without guilt or being raked over the coals by fellow players on a 3rd party auction site. Edit: ... and NCSoft makes a little extra from it, which I support (as opposed to eBay sellers gouging other players).
That being said:

Quote:Ins't that the whole point, to "wear" "costume options"* normally unavailable to player characters?Originally Posted by Dispari
So every Transformation power is a preview of costume parts we're never going to get?
* Because some of these are actually alternate rigs, and not costume pieces at all. -
This is one reason why, my lack of personal time aside, the Incarnate system has been interesting, but not important. There's not much use of level shifting outside of Trials. And without level shifted enemies, the powers you get from Incarnate slots make normal Task Forces a cakewalk (or so I've observed). Basically, the main reason to use the Incarnate system is for the Incarnate Trials, which give you more Incarnate rewards to play more Incarnate trials. For some, that sounds like fun, but outside of the repetitive cycle (IMPO), it doesn't impact the rest of the game much, except for perhaps PvP.

Why shouldn't VIPs pay for anything? They're obviously the players with the most disposable income

So, for us big convention-goers and collectors who already have and spent (years) collecting the 'exclusive' costume codes, this blows big time to see them sell for pocket change.
