  1. I lost a bunch of weight and then had a surgery. Pinnacle, booze and twinkies helped me gain some of that weight back. Thanks Pinnacle!


    Just kidding. I hate Twinkies.

    everyone is worried about the perma dom "change"

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This. I've abandoned all hope for a 50 Tank and will start working on a 3rd PermaDom when I finally get the MM to 50. Gonna make a Plant/Fire on Pinnacle to compliment the Fire/Ice and Earth/Psy, but I guess I'll wait till the Dom changes come through to see what they [censored] up. If I lose my precious PermaDoms, this Going Rogue thing better not suck.

    So, I stumbled across this little gem.

    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat....e=0&fpart=1

    The poster never mentioned exactly what he said in Coalition chat that got the SG leader so angry at him. This makes me think that is was probably something really racist or sexist. Who's got the dirt on this situation? I want me some juicy gossip!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I've read up on that thread with my normal levels of apathy. Instead of just canceling the account or handling it on his/her own terms with customer service, the person decided to turn around and make a forum post griefing the SG to garner sympathy and make him/herself feel justified for crying. This game is better off without people like that.
  5. Had a VG mate make an alt VG with nothing but Thug/Pain Petless MM's. No Pets, all the attacks (Gang War included for effect). I heard they steamrolled as a Superteam of sorts. Whenever I'd play with those toons in SF's and general teaming outside the Superteam environment it felt like I was teaming with weak support toons with unslotted attacks. They looked cool, though. And, it was most likely fun in the ST.

    Just an outside perspective. Do what ya like.
  6. I blame you for not putting this in the Forum Games forum. I blame myself for posting in this thread.

    I once one-starred an MArc that was a ripoff of Star Wars because the George Lucas contact looked like Gill Grissom. True story.
  8. I'll blame you for getting this thread locked even though I'm the one reporting it.

    Are we paying for this advertisement? I don't remember seeing it in the weekly newsletter.

    It's on page 4, we had to move your "Dear Quarkie" column to the last page next to the ads for escort services.

    I told you that was where it belonged the whole time. No one listens.

  11. I tried this on my Earth/Psi permDom. faceplanted the first time and was in awe of its awesomeness. Reset mish and switched up my strategy and survived, barely. My AOE Disorient just doesn't cycle fast enough even with 170% recharge.

    This is what I was hoping to get out of the MA. Missions I can load up and take out my aggression on and justify all the dough I spend on my Doms.

    *edit* I meant to add I had it on 4th level difficulty.

    I was told there would be punch and pie in this thread. Was I misinformed?






    There, the thread can officially die now. Give it the dignity it deserves and let it go in peace.

    ******Waits for the incessant whining from non-vets.******

    Isn't it difficult to hear all the way up there on your high horse?

    The fact of people who put their time in being able to pick travel powers early is a wonderful idea.

    The not having to take the corresponding prereq doesn't sit well at all. I don't perceive it as gamebreaking, but it does seem to divide the haves and the have-nots just a little bit more.

    Still, very creative.

    Specail thanks go to me for helping me out.
  18. Yeah, ok. I can admit when I get GrammarOwned!
  19. I am willing to give up the following names:

    Ancient Tree
    Flame Enchantress
    GooPy
    Jaegerbomb
    Buck Wild
    Chuck Mild
    Jimmy Amp
    Mindscythe
    Nature's Fury

    And in return I'd like the following name:

    Beer







    Oh, and yes, this is sarcasm. Please consider before sending a hateful PM.

    Villains have relationships too, and feel empathy, anger, and the like when one falls.

    Not all villains are only looking out for themselves. The "theme" bit is a load of crap.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    A thousand times this. Can one not be empathetic to someone who is on the wrong side of the law? They just need to come out and say the real reason they won't give Emps to the Red side and stop feeding us this [censored].

    As to the Villian/Hero Empath/Poison argument.

    It's not the nature of the powers you use, it's how you use them.

    This is what I was getting at, in simplified form.

    “WHY NO EMP FOR CORR?” – ELF_STALKER



    Empathy isn’t a villainous trait, generally speaking. From a fiction standpoint, it will likely never be given to Villains as a set.

    Back to thematics – Empathy isn’t really a villainous trait. From a fiction standpoint, it wasn’t our first choice to port over and the reason corruptors didn’t receive it in the first place as part of the release of City of Villains. If we were to add an “Empathy Like” set, it would need to be all new and not a port of it, to make it fit into the Villainous theme. As such, that fell out of the scope of Issue 12’s powerset proliferation and is why it wasn’t included.

    Defenders have dark, not very hero like.

    Scrappers have dark melee, not very hero like.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This point can be debated until the end of time. In a game where concept trumps all, not allowing us to decide for ourselves what is evil and what isn't is just beyond comprehension.

    Empathy for helping other villians achieve their devious goals? Or perhaps empowering other idiots to do all of your dirty work while at the same time manipulating them into believing that you support their cause.

    There. I just made a concept that makes sense. It's not really even that creative. Just saying that it isn't a villianous trait is just an excuse for not wanting to port it over. I can go one step further and say WHY GIVE VILLIANS BUFFS AT ALL? Cold shields, Thermal Buffs, Sonic Buffs, the list goes on. Why would you want to buff other villians? To serve your own purposes in the end, perhaps?

    Listen, I am stoked about the new issue, including the VEATS and QOL improvements. But watching you guys try to pacify the screaming of Doom from some of the playerbase is just hurting your original aim. It's no wonder people think the Devs hate villians with responses like this...
  23. Christy Dawn, EM/WP Brute, dinged 50 on Sunday. Second Vill 50 and Seventh overall. She will remain one of my main toons.
  24. A Christmas present from me to me. Martini Melody, Sonic/Sonic Defender, proud member of Pinnacle on Tap. She's my sixth level 50. Huzzah.

    I would also like to congratulate Mini Ravenstorm for hitting 50 a few days ago, well done dude!

    Thanks, States. And congrats right back at ya. I knew you'd get there eventually. You can only hang on at 49 so long.

    And Gratz also to Jeromus. I remember the not knowing anything was going on until someone (Dood maybe?) was like, 50gratz? What a great time to ding as well, on our all fender STF run.

    While I'm here, gratz Buck! You make me smile in Pinnbadges. Keep it up.
