Quote:Wow, wouldn't have expected you of all people to be such a defender of the status quo. As I stated, Superman from AC#1 was an agent of social justice, and not necessarily of agent of the law. That's clearly the same direction NuAC#1 is going in as well.Originally Posted by Durakken
I'm a little concerned with your interpretation of the original Action Comics #1... considering Superman was not young and he didn't so much as fight as he broke into the governors house, assaulted his employee, and pretty much forced the governor to let a prisoner free who had been sentenced to death legally... beat up a wife beater, stopped lois from maybe being kidnapped... and then listened in on a private conversation between government officials and then threatened a guy to "come clean" with who was "corrupting" the official... So he was more of a spastic psychopath that had pretty much no respect for the system in Action #1... and given his actions if that's what he was doing when he was young then the public would have every reason to be afraid of him. -
After not having bought a floppy comic in a year, I broke down and got Action Comics #1 (because I love Morrison) and Stormwatch #1 (total whim).
Action Comics #1 was fanatastic. It's modernized, but harkens back to the original Action Comics #1 -- a young, angry Superman that's more into social justice than fighting petty criminals. He's stirring up hornet's nests at the top of the food chain, but the common folks are learning to love him and trust him.
Stormwatch #1 was kind of a mess, but I've never read Stormwatch before in any of its Image or Wildstorm incarnations. But seeing that these new #1s are supposed to allow for new readers, you'd think that it wouldn't be required. As it is, the issue felt rushed, and featured a scene of "superheroes fight instead of talk" cliche. Some nice ideas here though (a sentiant, hostile Moon!), but I'm more likely to skip the next installment.
Animal Man #1 was getting a lot of buzz at the shop as well. -
He didn't have any guns (at first) in the original Die Hard.
"Now I have a machine gun.
Ho-ho-ho." -
Question: since we can't use free players as mounts, can VIPs with Grav Control summon them to hurl at their enemies with [Propel]?

Got my son to keep his room clean for 8 straight days by promising him a booster pack of his choice before they all went away.
He chose the Martial Arts pack. -

I've known women who wore high-heeled boots as a fashion statement, so I know the discomfort that they put themselves through in the name of fashion. I tend to snicker at any superhero boot that incorporates high heels as it stands currently. The idea of a "barbarian" in high heels is just too over the top to consider, IMO. If they stay the way they are then I won't be spending my paragon points on them.

I assume it will have any costume piece that was part of any booster/pack or the Going Rogue expansion, plus the new IDF/Defense pieces, plus the old level 20 auras.
Just conjecture on my part. -

The lack of Jimmy Stewart and Gregory Peck on the IMDb list is inexcusable.

Quote:Absolutely not true. He said there was none for Issue 21. He just as emphatically said there were some coming. Naturally, they won't be straight 'ports for the assault set though (like Earth Assault).Originally Posted by Roderick
Synapse outright said that there is NO powerset proliferation coming for Dominators. They're getting new powers, but they haven't said what, or even dropped any hints.

I'd say luck. My newly minted Level 50 human-form Warshade has been getting a steady diet of commons and uncommons.

They are on a mission or arena map and can't be invited to a team. I believe though that they would be running solo. -

My main villain feels that he's a misunderstood genius that's been pushed to the fringes of society by lesser minds. To him, he's the protagonist of his stories, but the reality is that he takes the easy way all of the time.
I have another villain who is an amoral assassin-for-hire.
I have another who was a victim of dark forces as a teenager who has been scarred ever since, ended up on the wrong end of the law, but is slowly trying to gain redemption.
I have another who is a serial killer, a psychopath who murdered most of his own family -- but is unfailingly polite and even charming.
I have another who is a former hero who took the Clockwork King for granted and had her psyche stripped from her body and placed into a prototype Clockwork body. This process has made her pretty much completely insane.
I could go on. How do I want to play them? Preferably, I'd have as many options as possible. -

1. Make any villain.
2. When I21 launches, play the new Sewer Trial.
3. 20 levels later, make a VEAT.

I can get behind the Manti hate too. -
I too suspect an early/mid September release. Sounds like the potential hold ups would be:
1. New account server hardware needs to be installed and tested.
2. Mac users not being able to access the market. -
Quote:No goodies. But if you make the account prior to I21, you get at minimum 400 Paragon Points for having an active account prior to launch.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I have to ask, though - why would I get this specific very cheap version of City of Heroes if all I wanted out of it were a Premium account? Isn't all I need to do a single purchase from the store for something simple and cheap? Does this version come with goodies?
This is a good deal for anyone who wants to play Free/Premium on a new account. It's essentially $5 of points for $2. -
Quote:I've done this with teams that are short in the buff/debuff department. It's not the most exciting way to fight, but it works. At the very minimum, it's good to off the Healing Nictus.Originally Posted by KayJMM
Find the healer.
Kill him with ranged attacks of 80+range. ST only
if needed, rinse and repeat with the other nictus...
Your team sounds like it's got enough muscle though to take on Rommy directly. I agree that you should pull Rommy into the grass to avoid the ambushes. Purple/orange inspirations plus cold buffs should keep everyone on their feet. The kin 'troller should spam Transfusion for the -Regen. Enevenomed Daggers and Shivans would be bonus.
When Rommy dies, everyone should get out of line of sight to avoid getting stunned on the rez.
