DOs and SO's are the same regardless of origins...... Origin is a mostly superficial distinction in game... Dual origins for each character is just a good idea.
-
The definitions and applications of origins in this game are so broad and ill-defined they pretty much fit whatever the player needs, but also are insufficient to properly fulfill them. CoH origins are whatever the person making the character says they are.

Dude, if there's an atlantis themed super group where I can make one of my awesome fishmen I'm sooo there.

Speaking of time travel, It's entirely possible that the Praetoria arcs we have now are from a future praetoria or a praetoria during/ directly after the Hamidon wars. yes, time travel and Dimensional travel, why not?

Quote:Competent shootings are a rare thing, hence why drive bys are fears of non-gangmembers, the shooters are not often good enough to only hit their target, and usually moving. Sometimes it's a shock and awe tactic as much as it's an assassination tactic, thus automatic and semi automatic weaponry is used to sweep. They will usually slow down so as to not come to a full stop.Originally Posted by Schismatrix
Well, if we're talking about real-world, competent drive-by shootings, then you do in fact stop long enough to shoot. Attempting to fire while driving at speed usually results in anything but the target getting hit; assuming you hit anything at all.
edit: Also, I said Stab, not shoot. -

Of course Ninja Run is killing travel powers. It sneaks up on those old, visually uninteresting travels and stabs them in the back before speeding away into the shadows! Let's see super speed do that!

Yup, the name is just one aspect of my unique identity.

And that's why the little arrow sends you back to the original post, with my lovely Kamina avatar.

Be that as it may, the fact that you aren't confused as to which one of us held which opinion is because our names are unique.

Quote:I apologize if I directed anything towards you unintentionally. And I also apoligize for my first, very rude assumption about your Initial Post. My posts have been mostly between me and the others.
And, forgive me for the harsh tone, but I'm getting a little tired of passive-aggressive people who can't see past their own noses reading every thread or post about how someone has found a good name or how good names can be found as some kind of hidden insult against their intelligence. And, yes, resorting to using "tone" as an argument is pretty dang low, because it's basically an impregnable argument. "That was your tone." "No it wasn't." "That's what it sounded like to me." Well, yeah, but it wasn't, and unless you can bring out a tuning fork to prove it, I will trust myself.
But you have to admit, this:
Sounds an awful lot like this.Quote:Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
OK, OK, this is a stupid reason to start a new thread, but... Well, when has that ever stopped me? You know, for the past five years I've been listening to the same tired old argument - all the good character names are already taken, woe is me. On the one hand, I don't buy that, because I know they're not, but on the other hand, there's always that niggling little thought at the back of my mind: "Yeah, I'm making fun of these people and dismissing their concerns, but what if it happens to me?"
What if it happens to me, indeed? Suppose there was a character I just HAD to give a descriptive name, where giving her two names or a personal name would just have been a step down? What if all the descriptive names I could come up with are taken? What if... Well, it finally happened.
.....................................( Edited for length)
Finding the word to use as a name took me somewhere in the neighbourhood of 3-4 minutes, give or take. I've been typing up this post talking about it for the past 15-20 minutes. That ought to give you some context as to how hard it was to find.
Good character names are running out, huh?
Quote:"I got a name that I like, and people say they can't get the one's they like, HA!" Several people have been explicitly saying that me or other people voicing complaints are uncreative. These are the people im discussing the "You're just not creative enough" issue with.Quote:If you've ever found yourself not being able to use a name you wanted, I'm sorry. You have my honest condolences, because I've been in the same boat more than once. Nevertheless, do avoid inserting yourself as the victim every time the topic of character names comes about. It may not seem like it, but not a lot of people lie in wait for the perfect opportunity to call you uncreative. Most of us are just happy with the names we've gotten. Why does that bug you?
Up until that point I was just discussing the differences in the naming process for different creative situations.
As for an alternative to my original, multiple-names idea, I just had another one, whilst changing out of my workclothes, all my best ideas seem to come to me when I'm naked ^_^.
Give each character a name and a number, A four digit number might be best. The Number would be the functional identifier for the system, and the name would be just another aesthetic. In the character info screen, it would display seperate from the name,
Over your character, and in the team window, only the name would be seen. You would be able to right-click someone ( or the equivalent for mac players) or their name in the chat window, and select the option "Get number" and then have that character's number display in your chat window.
In the team-search window, The number would show up in it's own column, like archetype, origin, and search comments.
I still like the multiple names ideas if only because it could bridge into a secret identities system in game, which would be all kinds of awesome.
very true. I can agree to disagree.Quote:Originally Posted by IronbladeYou might as well stop right there.
Sailboat's OPINION is that the uniqueness of a name has inherent value.
Your OPINION is that it does not.
For either of you to try to 'correct' the other is just stupid.
See, now I have this image of a massive, Blob from X-men type character named Sleeping BagQuote:But I guess that would work better for The Sleeping Sentry -
I'd like to know the nature of side-switching, particularly from extreme ends to neutral. Will I go from Doctor Doom To Magneto? Snidely Whiplash to Boris and Natasha?
What I'm asking is what will be the context. Will I be able to go from a Maniacal Super-villian to someone who's still evil, but self serving to the point that they'd fight on the side of "Good" fairly often. Or will I go from a Well Intentioned Extremist to an antihero?. Will I go from a Cape to A Vigilante? -
Quote:Sometimes it's the same and sometimes it's not. It depends on how signifigant the name and it's particulars are to you.Originally Posted by Mr_Zek
If you think Faint Protector is a good replacement for Dark Sentinel then arguing this with you is pointless. Just because words are listed in a Thesarus doesn't mean that putting them together makes them mean the same thing.
