Well, you got me there, but hey, you're the one that started the movie quote. :þ

Now see, the proper response would have been...

"No problem whatsoever."

I'm trying to understand exactly what it is that you're trying to say.

Yes, Marvel sued NCsoft/Cryptic over copyright/trademark infringement. It was also discovered that it was Marvel employees that had done so. The case was settle out of court, but not because NCsoft would have lost. How do I reckon? That lawyer was at HeroCon '08, he got a standing ovation for "succeeding in fighting off Marvel." I'm sure an out of court settlement was more cost-effective.

Marvel Heroes is currently being made by Gazillion with permission from Marvel Entertainment. So it makes sense that playing Marvel characters would be okay. Cryptic was originally developing Marvel Universe which fell through and eventually became Champions Online.

SOE developed DCUO and I don't recall a big stink between them and Cryptic, not that I paid that much attention.

As far as Marvel Heroes goes, I really have no interest in playing a limited selection of characters, I could get that out of most any standalone or console game.

Thank you, Michelle.

Faultline is an Alternate Universe now?

Adblock Plus is far more effective as one can pick and choose which images to block.

My favourite bug so far, falling off the floating CoT island in Mission Architect and taking 45mil in damage.

I'm sorry, but I've spent a lot of hours in this game. I'll be coming up on my 5 year anniversary next month and rarely does a day go by that I don't log into this game.

All that said, your sense of entitlement astounds me. We (players) lost a creative outlet, a social venue, a home away from reality. The people at Paragon Studios lost their jobs. Which of us do you think got the bigger shaft?

It really sucks that we're losing City of Heroes, I will miss it and many of the people here greatly. It sucks even more that the majority of Paragon Studios is now looking for work.

I played a member of a secret society during it's beta. Interesting game, but I didn't find it enough so to fork out for a sub.

Just out of curiousity, which VIP items were you looking to "unlock"?

Or like some people, learned from his children and become a better person for it. ^.^

In case you don't understand what StarGeek was talking about your Tier level in the Paragon Rewards Program determines what you have access to in the game. To see it, click on this icon either at your character select screen on in-game.



Clicking on it will open up your Paragon Rewards Tree.



Every $15 worth of point you purchase in the Paragon Market will earn you a Paragon Reward Token, which you then slot into the tree above. In order to drop any given Token into a slot, the Tier below must already be filled. So that in order to place a Token into a Tier 3 slot, Tier 2 will have to be filled. Note: Your very first purchase of Paragon Points will grant you a bonus Token, so even a $5 purchase will get you a Token.

If you can afford it, the $50 option will give you 4600 Points (4000+600 bonus points for buying in bulk) to spend in the Market AND 4 Reward Tokens. (3 for 3*1200 worth of points and your first purchase bonus Token.)

If you hover over each of the slots, they will tell you what perk they will give you in-game.

Notice the thermometer on the right-hand side, as you acquire more Tokens (by purchasing points in the Market) this will increase. Hovering over the gold arrow will show you what you will have access to for filling a particular Tier level.


Fix'd, the LFG (Looking for Group) global channel is a good place to find teams on every server. True, you may see chatter more so on some servers than others but I've always seen people looking for teams or calling out TFs/SFs/Trials.



Oh, and Welcome to the Game Coruno. ^.^

I'll be more than happy to /petition Incredible Hulks/Skeletors/Ironmans all day long if it means NCsoft isn't having to waste money on another lawsuit.

That works perfectly, thanks StarGeek.

Honestly, what you can get away with is subjective, it all depends on the player reporting said "tribute" character, because they are the ones notifying the GMs. It is then the GMs discretion as to whether the character is generic-worthy and they tend to err on the side of caution.

Typically, if a costume is close enough that I actually look at their bio as well, then their costume alone is worth a petition.
