Schismatrix

Only for Mystic Fortune. Not so much things like Speed Boost, Thermal Shields, Force Fields, Fortitude, etcetera, etcetera...

That said, i generally welcome drive-by buffs, and tend to dispense them on my buffers when i run into characters fighting street mobs, outside of mission doors and other places where it seems likely the buffs would be helpful. Not so much when they're standing around somewhere chatting or otherwise not about to engage in combat like Atlas Park, Pocket D and the various markets.

Political decision. Praetoria is at war with Paragon, Praetoria has always been at war with Paragon.

Etoile Islands on the other hand... Recluse has shown many times in that past that he's willing to make non-aggression pacts with other powers that are not in direct competition with his authority. The Rikti, for example.

Logically the 'heroes' of Paragon will support and even give aid to the Resistance in their attempt to overthrow the Praetorian leadership that they are at war with, whereas Recluse has no problem making a mutually beneficial agreement with Tyrant and even allowing travel between the two countries.

Yeah, i've seen some of your critiques in the forums there.

*snerk*
So you are the one who knows what the channel's purpose is. Tell us more.

So obviously the two have nothing in common. Crisis averted.
All hail the television! (Actually it's raining like crazy here, no hail at all.)

Apparently i know a lot of liars. Or competent players. Whichever.
At least you know what's what.

Or vice versa. Either way it's a party.

Most TF's aren't easily soloable, but a few are. Actually, i've been considering giving Synapse a try solo except for some pets. i figure that if i go against the Clockwork King with a Shivan, Snow Beast and HVAS he won't last too long. i could try taking him on without all that, but i like to get AV battles over with fairly quickly. When they start dragging on it gets annoying.

All powers flagged as Notify Mobs generate aggro. Those flagged to not notify mobs will not. Single target, AoE, pumpkin spice, none of these attributes affect the notification flag.

Now that is the writing of a true leader!

(And that's why most true leaders have an entire staff of secretaries snd publicists: they're too busy being iconic and leaderish to bother with irrelevancies like manners, edumacation and thinkinating. All true leaders in CoX are like that as well, but without the budget for the secretaries and publicists.)

Go down four forums in the list.

The name "Suggestions and Ideas" is suggestive, no?
Evocative at the least.

Customizing name fonts and styles is not a bad idea in my opinion, but it is presented rather badly by the OP.

For me people with names like that can either send a tell or remain uninvited.

Ooh, nice pairing. A cryomancer then?

i have several mage types, and i usually make them Controllers or Defenders, but a couple of my Dominators and Masterminds also use the spellcaster concept.

Can't use 'masturbator' either.



Try, "Medicinal Use Only Self-Pleasuring Man".

Seriously though, the word 'chronic' does have an array of common usages outside of a type of drug.

i find this is the best way to avoid replacing desks that have been smashed with a forehead.

War Witch: Dead and Loving It
War Witch is fine dead. In fact, like several CoH characters, she's accomplished as much or more dead than she did when alive.
i do like the idea of the Apex TF.

Cool. i hate when those sorts of bugs pop up. Especially since they can be hard to replicate later.

Also, if the character bore a close resemblance to the iconic Barbie Doll, and/or made reference to her in the description, that could get you hit with the generic stick as well.

Generally it's a judgment call by the GM if a report is made, and if you feel it was unfair you can appeal it and possibly get the decision reversed. i've known of several who had their names restored after a review.

Generally the GM's are not sympathetic to names that are considered references to real world illegal drugs, the type players might actually be able to use, but if you can explain that there are equally obvious non-drug meanings to the name it's possible to retain the name.

i constantly see people with names that are blatant references to marijuana and stoner culture if you are familiar with the sources. While i don't find marijuana very interesting, i know a lot of people who do. Amusingly enough, some of the dumbest, tritest and most pointless names i see for characters are the marijuana reference names. i actually prefer the names be left and never report them myself. It makes for an easier warning flag than player notes as to whether the player will be competent or interesting when teamed. (No, i don't think all marijuana users are dumb or incompetent, or i wouldn't be acquainted with so many of them, but it does tend to amplify those traits in those who are slow and dull already. Stoner names are an alert of sorts (that the name user might not be), not an automatic reason to avoid. )

Not absolutely certain of that myself. Both in that i'm not sure if it will be ready in time for Going Rogue, and also that i highly doubt it will be exclusive to Going Rogue buyers.

Incarnates get their power from the Well of the Kindly Ones, which is a magical artifact and power source, so how is that a contradiction?

Primal Earth Hamidon has manifested quite a bit differently than the Praetorian version. He appears to be more distributed through the earth in our world. The giant amoeba thing is apparently more of an avatar or nexus of sorts than a true embodiment. The Praetorian Hamidon was more aggressive and sounds like it was more of a central embodiment in the form of the Mega-Devoured/Cloverfield-ish creature. Still, if we poke our Hamidon enough maybe he'll go on a rampage and consolidate into a mega beastie as well, which would be awesome.

i would watch more, but i'm monitoring the internets. Funny, i'm monitoring The Television as well. On the internets. Hmmmm...

Also, welcome. We have such sights for you to show us.

That's questionable. Why are we questioning questions anyway? Or at least why are we questioning these particular questions? That is the question(s).

(Damnit, why am i still reading the forums at work? There are far better amenities, heating and food at home...)

Yeah, as much as i generally respect Arcanaville (which is quite a lot, actually), i have to side with Samuel_Tow on this one. Mostly because he posted exactly what i was thinking when i read her post, but did it before i got around to reading it and logging into the forums.

It's still news that directly relates to what's going on in the Development team, and thus Going Rogue. Obviously it's not what you wanted, but it did come with a promise of more details soon, and in a context that implies a more immediate, shorter-term soon than the bog standard soon.

Hey, P_P, that's your cue.

i kid, i kid.

Well, announcing that Matt has stepped down (sideways?) from lead developer to focus on designing the End Game content seems like actual new information. Admittedly it wasn't details about the animation times for Dual Pistols' Flaming Doves of Love tier nine attack, but i consider it significant information despite not being very detailed.

Melissa's work has always impressed me. Although i do hope that this promotion will not prevent her from having the time to add her rather distinctive (and very entertaining) touch to the new content.
