    If Flambeaux has Energy Manipulation she'll have Boost Range as well...which gives her an edge. If she's Fire/Fire it's just more AoE goodness. As for KB, Flambeaux can just use Hover. We know she can use the Market since...*SPOILERS* in a Twinshot arc you speak with her next to Wentworth's, where she found some IOs to make her hair better. She might have enough KB protect from IOs to make that meaningless.
    Considering that I'm always knocking her down, I doubt this.

    There's also no evidence that she has Hover.

    Well, in the first pic, he's leaning against the wall in the background.

    Eighteen? There's no way that Faultline Penelope looks or acts eighteen. I always figured her for about fourteen.
    I pegged her for 16 myself.
  4. Yeah, there's nothing easy about Lost bosses, and at level 20+, the lieutenants become irritating as well. Especially for controllers.

    Flambeaux has been levelling up all that time and never makes it any further than the c-list. I mean, she's Blast Furnace's arch-nemesis, which is just embarassing for both of them.

    So if you wanna go by introduction, Flambeaux's been a hero for longer, and failing a lot longer.

    At least I can claim a point for accuracy on the issue number as, although CoV released with Issue 6, mayhem missions weren't added until Issue 7.
    Precisely. I've had a tendency to get Flambeaux a lot whenever running that particular mayhem. She's still as terrible a fighter now as she was then.

    Fusionette wins, because in my experience, she actually has proven useful.

    Paragonwiki? Uh.

    Yeah, the incorrect URL could be your problem, but y'know... maybe could just refresh it a few more times and maybe it'll work in a few million years.
  9. I think I know what happened.

    Lost tend to wander around a lot after they spawn, sometimes causing two different spawns to walk up right next to each other.
  10. Ooh, sweet. That's awesome. Although I have to say that the male hat/helmet is patently ridiculous.

    Indeed, according to the CoV map both ingame and out, there are three to four islands in the south labeled "Uncharted."

  12. More sites should be doing this. However, I'm thinking Wikipedia and Google will really make the protest felt hard.

    Intriguing, as every time I've seen it, the team was actually steam rolling the missions, so I can only assume that someone on the SG was asking for the person to join. I have a weird way of forming competent PuGs.

    What do you expect? It's a Fox affiliate.

    Cool, great suggestion! I like that style of gown.

    Really? 'Cause I like her loincloth and boots too. Devs, seriously, when're we as players gonna get some flowing loincloth action?
  18. Concerning Silver Age, take some inspiration from the master himself, Jack Kirby.









  19. Hyperbole aside, there's nothing wrong with showing skin. Diabolique's new look doesn't look "skanky" in the least. Less clothes =/= automatically skank. "Skank" is much more so in the attitude rather than the clothes alone. She's not looking flirty or making suggestive poses. In fact she's oozing with matronly authority and ready to smite whoever stands in her way.

    Are the bushwomen in Africa "skanks" because they wear less clothes than women in most other areas of the world? No. It's all in the attitude.

    That said, it's not like this is some kind of costume set where women get only a metal bikini and men get fullplate. If that happens, then you can complain. No, this is a canon character and the devs are free to make her look any way they want. Frankly I think they chose right with the Maleficent/Evil-Lyn vibe they have going for her.

    "Zeus?" Boo. Wrong mythology, Sam. That was ODIN.

    And I like the "fireplace" in the hat. If I was seeking to be Death Incarnate myself, it's the sort of hat I would wear.

    This. A thousand times this. Sword and sorcery sorceresses almost always dress like this. It's like a uniform for Evil Matronly Ladies with Spellcasting Powers. As I said, I created a character a few months ago that was going for this look.

    If we could get that loincloth piece, I'd seriously use it for a few of her alt costumes.

  21. Looks good. I don't know why Diabolique's new costume has been getting such hate, though. I like it, especially the fiery horn-hat. I myself created a demon summoner a while ago that was going for a similar Evil-Lyn sort of look that Diabolique seems to be sporting now. It'd be cool to have some of those costume pieces, especially the hat.

    Those Tyranid/Zerg things also look interesting.

    Again, I support the bear for the 3rd tier beast mastery pet.

    What we need is more 30-40 stuff, but apparently Issue 22's giving us more 20-30 stuff.
    Wait... what? More 20-30 contacts? ARGH!
