Excellent.

One of my favorite holidays.

No worries. Although steel toed boots and shoes are no better at squishing feet than the same boots without steel toes. Steel toes only add a few grams to the boot's weight and don't make getting stepped on by them any worse unless the wearer is standing en pointe. After all, steel toes are caps/domes that go over the toes to protect them from impacts from above, and don't affect the soles under the toes very much. However, if someone punts you with steel toes it would probably hurt more. (It's also very rude, regardless of footwear.)

Still, i'm not planning to wear steel-toed shoes or boots anyway, so you should be mostly safe from my feet. Mostly.

Since i'm working until at least 5pm Friday, and will be installing a sculpture on a pedestal that's going to be secured in a hole that i will also be digging, it may become a moot point, since i'm not sure i'll make it to NYCC until Saturday since it will take a couple hours to go home and clean up. Plus another hour or two to get into Manhattan.

Eh, we'll see.

i could get behind that. And stay there while you destroy everything in front.

Besides, origin is almost totally irrelevant to game play with the exception of a few temporary powers whose effects vary depending on origin. The origin powers by level 10 are basically useless*, and having to buy SOs and DOs from different stores doesn't really make much difference other than some are slightly more convenient to reach in some zones.




*Offhand Taser Dart for tech origin can be useful for lighting an Oil Slick if you don't have any other source of energy or fire damage, but that's about as useful as the origin powers are past 10 or so.

Customizing after the fact can be handy if you want to raise the diving board, add another ladder, or enlarge the deck around it.

If activating Integration with the alternate animation has you do a "popdance" i'd have to make a regen user with a name along the lines of "Codpiece of Power"...

New animations and emanation points will be great. Now i'm really looking forward to seeing the promotional video.

Very interested in seeing what the reworked Incarnate System and new task forces will be like as well.

Work faster, Devs!

Yes.
Double points if you're a Green Lantern.

Now that i think about it i have some flashlights with Krypton bulbs...

*headdesk*

So true to form...

i have secondhand knowledge in that after running into a bunch of characters who all had SG names similar in format to the old group of SGs and having seen none of the original SGs in some weeks i asked a member and he told me that they used to be the old SGs and had the SG names changed.

So instead of being (not real name) Renowned Zeroes Gamma they were now (also not real name) Hearty Zeroes Gamma Goblins.

Sadly, i didn't ask how it was done.

LOL doesn't need your thanks. LOL does it for the lulz.

KNEEL BEFORE LOL!

i understand well the need to be a self-amusing personality, but to find that funny, even in a quasi-satirical way... That just smacks of desperation to find something, anything, amusing.

The babbling about farming doesn't make any sense either. Sure, you can farm your way to 50 both inside and outside AE, but it fails as sarcasm since the only reason to do that is because you want to farm. (Or not.)

Still, i guess it's good you were amused, no matter how inane i personally find the source.

Very nice.

Let's see...

To be fair it does take one less letter to write "cossie" instead of "costume". That said, it's one term i'm never likely to use except in the furtherance of some sort of mockery.

A passive that provides badge protection? Hopefully i can skip it.

Most rezzes provide debt protection anyway.

Any powerset can defeat Superman in real life, but writer's fiat is the most common. In the DC universe it might be a little trickier.

I KILL YOU NOW!1!

Then again i have no capacitance for humor.

(Naw, just kidding. Post some more, i want to see what Cien does.)

Very true, but does the field's duration get reduced by enemy rank?

i know of at least one group of SGs that apparently were able to get themselves renamed after the founder left the game. (The SGs didn't like him very much after the way he left, but apparently didn't want to disband completely.) i don't know how they did it, but i would guess sending in a petition or contacting support was part of the process.

Going Rogue beta testers had the opportunity to try out the alpha slot of the Incarnate system, but it was pulled from Going Rogue to be reworked. There are a few bits in the game that offer glimpses of what will probably be in the system, but the current design will have ten Incarnate levels that add various abilities and bonuses to characters as well as content designed to challenge characters with Incarnate abilities.

Oh, hey, i picked up a card pack the other day on whim even though i haven't played M:tG in over a year and got that card. i actually like it.

And back on topic... Yes, yes i have. The most recent example was finding that the name Feral Catgirl was available on most servers. So i now have a clutch of Feral Catgirls based on several different conceptualizations of that name. The very first was on Virtue and is a Mace/SR Brute who was engineered as a bioweapon on two levels: after escaping from the research center she uses her superhuman speed and strength to crush enemies with a large femur, and is also a bioreactor for a viral payload designed to eliminate other human/feline hybrids. (Not that she's really aware of the latter aspect.)

The thing is that once i come up with a name i immediately start coming up with concepts and backstories to go with it, so it's not really only for the name by the time i hit the costume creator.

That's not even really a hippie sort of thing. It's a sort of self-loathing projected onto every other human being.

News flash: Humans are as much a part of nature as any other organism out there. (Setting aside for the moment that the majority of living cells in a human being contain no human DNA, tiny little ecosystems that our bodies are.) Of course that doesn't mean that human presence and population is always a good thing. Much like the out of control algal blooms that cause red tide, unchecked human population growth can cause widespread damage. It's a really odd sort of arrogance to assume that humans are something completely separate and distinct from the rest of nature.

Not that you have to respec out of the pool, but i honestly can't see any reason to not free up three additional power picks even if you keep the same slotting in the fitness powers. Of course if you like your character as is you can just keep playing and not worry about it.

Let us know how it works out for you.
Personally i found WoC without IOs to be less than i was looking for on my Blaster.

meh.

Sorry.

Carry on.

And a red thread is used as a metaphor for fate that connects people?

Virtue is pretty much my default server currently. Although that does vary based on whim and characters i'm currently working on.

There are also several several channels that don't require invites to join.* Champions United is one such. Drop by the server forums and say hello for more info. My three favorite servers are Champion, Virtue and Infinity, but i play on all the NA servers now and again.


*Actually, global channels formed for coordinating events server-wide requiring invites is a bit antiquated now since you can just set a channel to start everyone as silenced when they join. That allows anyone who wants to know what's going on to join regardless of whether a channel mod is online and trolls still can't easily cause disruptions.

Aha, i always thought it was supposed to be a tassel. i figured it was supposed to be a luck charm of sorts.
