  1. I really love the detail of your work. But then I have a thing for sketches and pencil work.

    An since you've offered.

    This is my main, Angel Red.




    Here's a non-action shot

    Well, if that's the case, then I guess the answer is: Yes, the Devs hate bases.
  3. I asked Sunstorm at HeroCon about bases, and he said that he did have things in the work, but that yes he's been heavily involved with GR.

    I'm hoping that, like BaB, he's sneaking a little time hear and there to work on things for the base builders.

I go out of my way to turn off powers with graphics when I'm not on the job, or even disable the graphics altogether if possible (for sets like Invulnerability or Super Reflexes). So when I get hit with some unsolicited buff that sets my hero on fire or turns him into a pink ice cube, I often find myself wishing for Mystic Fortune's offer to "accept/decline".
    I keep this in my mail just to have it handy.

    /suppressCloseFx 1 <--- This turns on disabling of personal graphics effects if your camera is within a certain distance of your character.

    /suppressCloseFxDist 300 <--- This sets that certain distance. BAB recommended 300 ft. If you don't ever want to see your GFX, then set it to zero.
    I set my distance to something like 20, that way if I'm zoomed out, I can the buff graphics.
  5. What I'd like to see, is for the Phantom Army decoys to actually be ghost images of my character.
  6. I approve of this suggestion.

  7. This one is right up there with "Why can't I get on the tram!?!"

    o.O

    Gotta love it.







    Pretty much.


    hmm, wait. Can't have popcorn without a drink...


  9. Sorry to hear that, Chan.



    We'll keep the light on for your return.
  10. Well Juggertha would be my recommendation on that. I really like Graver13 as well, very different look from Juggy's.
  11. MI, it really depends on what style of art you are looking for. I would highly recommend heading to the S&FC forums.

    Thor's Assassin has The Network stickied. Be warned it's a huge list of artists offering commissions on Deviant Art, and he keeps it fairly up to date.

    Love Liz's work, I'll have to keep her in mind.

    Many of the local talents have joined up in Deviant Art's CoH Group. If you scroll down to Artist's Alley, you can browse the gallery of the works they have done for many of our players.

    I'll dig up some threads that have examples (or at least links) to some of the artists I really like. Like Wassy.

    Pirate-Cashoo uses really vibrant colours in her art.
    Eddy-Swan creates some might fine artwork as well.

    UberGuy, after going through this thread, and seeing Fire_Minded's posts revert almost instantly, I think your above comment sums up the the OP quite concisely.
  13. I've had the same problem on my new machine. Blows that it happens, good to know that it's not just me.

    It is a plausible theory, except in this case there was only one toon that earned the badges and he's still in the SG.

    And I disagree with the last sentence but unfortunately can't elaborate.
    By that I meant the games knows when there is one exploration badge left before the zones beacon badge is awarded, and will award the beacon no matter who gets that last exploration marker.

    I'm sure there are SG's out there that have had this issue, even if the same character gained all of the beacon badges.

    It's what I thought might have caused it back when I lost one of my beacons.

    Nothing works better for bullet wounds, donchaknow.
  17. Wait, people still get email?

    Can't say I've had that problem since I turned it off to anyone not on my list.
  18. Agge, there was a 2XP Weekend last year in January.
  19. I've had this happen in my VG before. The only thing that came to mind at that time was that a friend left the game (taking their character with them) and one of their characters was the one that had 'earned' that beacon exploration badge.

    I realize that the beacon badges are SG-wide, and it doesn't matter who gets the exploration badges for a zone to get the beacon badge.

    The game obviously keeps track of the badges, and knows who gained that last badge for the beacon.

    That was over a year ago and I haven't seen them since. I'd hardly class them as a giant monster... but it was strange and a bit terrifying when it happened since I was new to the game.
    Probably Hydra Heads, they're still there.
  22. I think I'll go to bed now, I should be rested by TF time. -.-

    Actually, I think Lili von Shtupp's song will pass:

    Here I stand, the goddess of desire
    Set men on fire
    I have this power.
    Morning, noon, and night, it's dwink and dancing
    Some quick womancing
    And then a shower.

    Stage door Johnnies constantly suwwound me
    They always hound me, with one wequest.
    Who can satisfy their lustful habits?
    I'm not a wabbit.
    I need some weeeehhhhhh...
    [Takes a breath]
    ...eeeeehhhhsst.
