Ok, but give me a moment to buy all aqua inspirations. I think I'll need them.

That's pure win! And I could see it being addictive, like bubble wrap.

SPOILERS (for those newbies who've yet to realize...)

I've wondered about that. Will they be advancing the storyline beyond the LGTF, suggesting some healing and a return of the weapon to its original owner? Or will the LGTF forever stagnate the character?

Umm...not to be mean spirited, but did you even read the rest of the comics? By the time of "Trading Place" it was really obvious in the banter that there was much going on between Manticore and Sister Psyche.

Of what I've read so far, I tend to see it more as a surrogate father/daughter relationship.

I do think it would be interesting to in-game explore Statesman's need for a girlfriend/wife. The man's been widowed for a while, and yet, unless he dies in battle, he's immortal. I'm sure he'll have some sense of family from his descendants, but eventually, he'll have to recognize he's lonely. I wonder if the Lady Grey is available and interested? As an immortal herself, she may be the only in-game lady to match him, and wouldn't it be fun to see his uppity granddaughter explode at the thought of the leader of Vanguard dating her granddad?

from the description, a staves/spears power sets would fill requirements 2,3, and 4. Valkyrie in Steel Canyon is the signature character for spears. this is assuming they "have time to 'do it right'", which really sounds like a 5th point. So if they can find a way to accomplish point #1...

the expansion bars will bend when pushed against a "wall".

I like Lemur's iceberg pitch, but that said, the idea of a Rikti base in a frozen wasteland makes a certain sense. They've been unable to win in the big cities, despite multiple incursions. Instead, they turn to gaining a secure foothold by creating a base outside normal human reach. Of course we'll respond. Left unchallenged, eventually they'll be strong enough to take over the world. But now we fight them in their (conquered) turf, not ours. There could be all kinds of challenges and defenses we do not see with the current ship raid, since the new location would be a base, not a ship.
But it would probably mean creating a few critters, like polar bears, and the devs have been reluctant to attempt this over the last half-decade.

simple answer: yes.
and I'd go so far as to guess you'll see it alot at first.

So from now until GR launch it would be good to get the word out to the "blue side only" players that incoming blue Brutes will perform differently than tanks. I'm guessing dominators, corruptors, and stalkers may have similar issues. MM's not so much. They are visually so radically different than anything blue-side, with the exception perhaps of illusion controllers, that they will probably be treated decently from the start.

several of the game devices would not need to translate to a film. People can be understanding that games require certain liberties to function correctly.

Other game devices could be explained and used in the story lines. The hospital transporters, for example, could be explained as retro-engineering off of Ritki salvage from the first war. And in the film version, they may not always work. Portal Corp would be a perfect explanation for many of the dramatic differences between our world and the world of CoH. Our world developed differently: a world without superpowers and super technological advances.

I think what would really be needed though, are explainations that bring the non-player movie goers up to speed. There may need to be flashbacks, say in the titles, that show the opening of Pandora's Box, the increase of crime in Paragon City, the acts that authorize registered vigilante force, who Nemesis is (since he kicked off the war), things like that.

If, as has been suggested, the film is set around the time of the first Rikti War, then hospital transporters are not available, and death is huge in the war (assuming a healer cannot get to the downed fighter in time) The War Walls would not be there at first but would be added in as the story progressed. They may even be visually interpreted differently, like say, pure force fields that could go up a lot faster than miles of concrete (even with the help of heroes)

To the thread question, yes I'd go see it, if I had some assurance that it was crafted well.

Its from MDK. I'll let the link explain in detail, but essentially its a sniper rifle built into his helmet.

You play as "Spanish Inquisition"?

actually, I'd be all for a fox tail on a tricorn hat. It would allow me to recreate my state's natural "superhero" Francis Marion, aka The Swamp Fox.

Frankly I really don't see the tricorn hat being any more limiting than the fox tail. You can make patriot characters (including New England Patriot homages), colonial characters (goes great with the Baron coat. anyone for Baron Munchausen?), pirates and ghost pirates, even offbeat characters like The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh. Also I recently read on the Internet about a (apparently nacent) concept dubbed "lacepunk", an attempt to push many Steampunk concepts back into the Age of Enlightenment (18th century). Knowing we have players that like steampunk and dieselpunk, I could see some working to achieve a Baron Munchausen-like "lacepunk" concept, and tricorn hats would be ideally suited for such creative ideas.

Popped in from Virtue to fix that for ya.

You mean like my Blue Watch?
Bio: The officer code-named Blue Watch is part of "Thin Blue Line", project name for an attempt by the PPD to turn "ordinary" officers into a tactical response force of technical heroes. Blue TACs, as the squad is commonly known, are testing a variety of powered armors and under-uniform armors designed to protect and augment the normal human body. Psychological response to the sudden increase in power is also monitored. It is hoped that one day the final results of Thin Blue Line will allow all standard officers to perform at hero-class levels.


too bad I don't RP.
But I wish you well.

And hey, "Let's be careful out there!"

I think BaB's would like to finish the Dual Offensive Shields first.

I'd go for it. I did flagged PvP back on WoW and liked it alot. I do think they'd have to readdress the balancing issue first though.

Same here. I've been looking for a costume for Ray Gunn's 3rd slot.
