  1. this is just as classic a skit as who's on first.
    still love it every time i read it, hear it, or see it.

    ouch.

    When, at level 5, Dr. Graves turns to you and says "Oh. Oh my g... you've outleveled this contact. go away. NOW!"


    When all of your contacts refuse to talk to you in person and make sure you get their number just so they never see you.

  3. I mentioned a "rock pack" a while back during the hoopla over the carnival stuff, but it wasn't a glam rock pack. :P

    And it wasn't a suggestion. Though having an axe as an axe would be cool.

    lol, investigating via paragon wiki search has just NOW enlightened me to the fact that you can actually do that. And yes, I was around when the Midnighter issue was released, so yes, I was just that ignorant. Sheesh, I've ran around that place so many times looking around at stuff and never found any of those! lol
  5. Maybe it will help red side out somewhat. If players can use a token, join a redside tf, then switch back to help out the poor unfortunate souls who chose to stick with it for the long haul. :P

    Kinda sad that blueside outnumbers the population of the rogue isles, npc's included.

    Kills immersion dead? So I'm guessing you're also one of the people adamantly opposed to male characters obtaining carnie masks? Because that would do it too. Or is this a situation that wildly different.
  6. hehe, there you go, just give all the minions incarnate powers like Ion Core Final Judgement.

    *Step into room, see twenty mobs do the tron pose, begin moving mouse cursor over rez power*
  7. Studies show that people who get the ending spoiled actually enjoy the story more.

    oh I'd be satisfied with almost anything, as long as there ARE animations. If I strafe left, at least make the bike lean that way. That sort of thing.

    If they change it, it might not be an improvement.
  11. I made some enemies that stealthed and summoned minions or held players. people not expecting the need for break free's were a bit miffed at that.

    then I made a mission with fire control enemies that spammed smoke, stealth dominators, stealth masterminds, and the rare stalker enemy. randomized patrols meant that you'd never know if you were walking right into 1, 2, or 3 groups.
  12. Just from the fact that it's a wolf, I don't think it'll be the tier 9 power. That's purely a hunch, but I've tended to be right about stuff like this.

    although I'm purely speculating, I think this pet will be earlier in the powerset (if that's a genuine pet pet), as an interesting twist on the "pet power" powersets that doms and controllers get access to. it may also not be alone, might summon 1-2 wolves, might be a power that spawns wolves from corpses, or spawns shadow duplicates of mobs from the corpses of those mobs. might even spawn shadow duplicates of teammates.

    In any event, the art team sure is excited about the four-legged models. I wouldn't be surprised to see various kinds of centaurs at some point.

I've found it gives my main dom a lot more comfort room for maintaining perma-dom.
    Aww. I was really hoping the alpha slot would be an easy choice for my doms. I guess that means it still is, but... aww.

    Then there's the movement issues. Motorcycles can't move sideways or strafe like characters can.

    Let's not forget terrain. It would look stupid to see a motorcycle swimming.
    ...
    The answer:
    Not this bike.

    If I had a special motorcycle-like sufficiently advanced seated vehicle with wheels or some sort of advanced energy/plasma/photon/technobabble related technology behind it, that thing could be nothing more than the kheldian transformation type power, preventing me from attacking (because I have to keep all my arms on the bike handles or whatever) while at the same time having the exact mechanics of super speed.

    Don't even pretend like the laws of physics would hold this baby back, it'd be fully capable of exceeding the expectations of any witnesses. Hell if it were the same speed as ninja run, you could create an awesome movie chase scene with the two powers.
  15. It was awesome seeing a character that incorporated D&D references like crazy. The kid was the DM from hell. Literally, the "Rocks fall, everyone dies" DM made manifest.

    I thought that was awesome.

    The game is rated T for Teen, not M for mature. By definition, this means that it is targeting immature teenager audiences. You should not be alarmed about this.

    Yeah, really, my dark servant:
    Chill of the Night (Toggle: PBAoE, Minor DoT(Negative), Foe -To-Hit)
    Darkest Night (Toggle: Ranged (Targeted AoE), Foe -DMG)
    Twilight Grasp (Ranged, Foe -DMG, -To-Hit, Team Heal)
    Tenebrous Tentacles (Ranged (Cone), Moderate DMG(Negative/Smash), Foe Immobilize, -To-Hit
    Petrifying Gaze (Ranged, Foe Hold)
    Resistance (Auto, Self +Res(Negative), -Res(Energy))

    does all that.

    that's a hold, a cone immobilize, a bit of dps, some nice debuffs on the enemies, and an aoe heal that debuffs an enemy's chance to hit (although it has a chance to miss)

    True, but sometimes it takes just a spark to realize something. I wonder if the queen gets upset when someone makes a deck of cards with say, cartoon characters, and her favorite character isn't a queen?

    Note also that I can't think of a feasible situation where I'd yell at a grandchild for causing my child's death. Unless it was flat out premeditated murder. That kind of character seems like he's far too distanced from reality to be treated as human. Of course, if statesman realizes this, and feels that he's lost touch with humanity, it might explain him giving away his incarnate powers and allowing himself to be killed. Probably by Recluse.
  19. You guys don't call your characters Malibu Stacies?

    School books
    You found a set of school books tucked in a backpack carried by the Freakshow Tank 'T33ch@h'Z p3t'. Inside his binder, there's a list of his classes, his homework, and what days and times he's supposed to attend something called 'Miss Francine's Primm's Secondary School'.

    The one really puzzling thing, though, is how could T33ch@h'Z p3t have had such good handwriting? He didn't even have hands! It boggles the mind.

  23. side note:
    If the next tier 9 vip "set" isn't a set at all but a collection of seemingly nonsensical costume options, that'd be pretty awesome too.

    heck... You could make it a collection of all the little things players have whined about over the years and call it "player request pack 1" and it'd be a sure fire sale for dang near every one of the forum whiners.
