The Rikti likely wouldn't have started breaking up their ship and such right away because they are prideful and would have tried to either fix it or expected help and would have held out, waiting for reinforcements. Once that didn't happen, they started salvaging the ship and that lead to Vanguard taking serious notice as the RWZ would become a Beachhead and that isn't a good thing.
    Its a big pile of technology plus its probably filled with enemies. So they just ignored it and let the villains inside do anything with it, whether fixing the ship and get it working or stripping it?

    Does that mean when a bank robber goes into a bank and holds everyone hostage, police don't do what they can to either get the villains out and arrest them or go in there and arrest them?
    If the robbers in the bank let all the hostages go but put up a force field around the bank, does that mean all the cops just go home until they start taking a part the bank?

    I don't get the logic in no one doing anything about this giant ship that has all sorts of weapons and technology and dangers. If to take out the villains, preventing further attack to the city, they could get intel from captured enemies. Plus all the information in the computers and technology that could be used for other reasons.

    I wonder if that would be generally accepted.

    What do you mean temporary shelter/base in ff?
  4. A question was brought up to me by my fellow comic maker about Vanguard and I wasn't sure about the answer and I can't find it on Paragon Wiki so I thought I'd open it up here.

    Point A. Before it became the Rikti War Zone, it was called the Rikti Crash Site.

    Point B. Vanguard is the only UN sanctioned agency that is allowed to hold Rikti technology and then can give it out to research companies and such. If Rikti tech is found, its to be turned over to local governments and then given to Vanguard. I'm guessing they try and take it away from anyone who refuses to hand it over. Seems logical.


    Question. Where was Vanguard from the time when the Rikti Mothership crashed into the White Plains and the construction of their base when the crash site was renamed a War Zone?

    The ship was always there. The shield was up. Nothing was coming in nor out. So why weren't Vanguard scientists or local government there? If there was, in what way?

    If you have any theories or knowledge of this, please share. I'm trying to find a good logical reason they didn't construct a base there sooner. Mainly because my comic book the Justice-Knights, has their base in a different crashed Rikti Mothership and I'll be having them deal wth Vanguard very soon. If you want to see my Rikti ship (current in orbit above paragon city), check out www.jkcomics.com for that and other comics.


    Thank you.

  5. I like that last one the best. Very superheroic moment!

    Cool, Thank you. I'll try it out.

    The MOV is "ZEUS_LIGHTNING'?
  7. Anyone know a good emote that has a character doing a karate chop, coming way down as if their hand is a sword slashing from up high, down to about knee or waist level?

    Preferably with the left arm.

    It doesn't have to be a full karate chop. It really just has to look like the ending or middle of a chop from behind the character.

    I'm at a really epic shot. I just need a single frame out of the entire thing. Not the full video.
  8. I couldn't get it working but I think I had my POS off or something. I'll figure something else to do.

    Thank you both for help.
  9. I'm looking for a small one handed Knife, like we see lower level gang members pull out. Using it for my comic at www.jkcomics.com and this thread:
    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...=218508&page=3

    I could have sworn there was a power similar to the ones they pull out...
  10. I'm looking for a knife temp powers for a character of mine. Not throwing daggers but one the character will actually hold.

    I remember seeing one at one point but can't remember where to get it. I thought it was a temp power from the market/recipe but that was a dead end.

    Help finding it would be greatly appreciated.
  11. Can you see if Leandro knows?

    Cause if it can't be changed in scale then what is the FXSCALE actually do but have the exact same number for every FX I've ever seen?

    Awesome! Thank you!

    Another question, is there a way to make an FX appear but be smaller? For instance, is there a way to effect the FXSCALE and make it half or a quarter the size it normally renders at?
  13. I'm trying to setup a certain shot for my comic and I have a character using the Rune temp powers, or whatever its called.

    I found the fx command on the codex but I can't find the MOV. Been searching, going up and down for over an hours now.

    Please save me?!

    Can someone please take a look at this and point out to me why the gun on Agent First won't appear?

    Can someone tell me why Agent First's gun won't show up? He is the guy in white with the desigination 1 in the demo.

    I've copy and pasted the gun fx's over and over again from multiple demo's I've taken of the character holding his gun. Been tweeking stuff for about two hours now, so help would be great.

    dieing over demo

    After working on this all night again, I still can't figure out how to get the crowds to show up. I believe they all have the correct commands and such. So what could be stopping them from showing up?

    dieing over demo

    The player is flying around with the camera.

    I was able to fix the swat van mess with your advance. ty.

    For the guy on the wall, he sometimes doesnt show up. I'm not too concerned with him at the moment.

    The main thing I need now is crowd 2 and crowd 3.

    Crowd 2 is on the bottom left corner of the shot when it first starts. Crowd 3 is on the bottom right.

    They are both at the bottom of the screen.

    They are the main thing I need to figure out now.

    dieing over demo

    The crowd is right at the bottom of the screen on both sides of the sidewalk. They should be the closest things.

    That's a good idea with the vans, I'll try that.

    The cop waving doesn't even appear in the demo. He is supposed to be on the wall on the right. He has the same problem as the crowd people of 2 and 3.

    Thank you for looking.

    Statesman is the answer to the question: "Who Will Die?"
    Right but by doing this, they make it a really strong posibility that there will be EVEN MORE twist and turns then before.

    I would have rather discovered his death myself or through non official people after being released live. Then everyone thinks he is dead and the rest of the episodes are the aftermath. Then BOOM, ep 8 we revive him but ep9 someone else dies for good. The end, we got twisted and turned and had a fun roller coaster ride.


    Instead, they spoiled the possibility of this. Another reason why sad.
  24. Maybe Statesman and Recluse die.

    All I know is I'm not excited to play the new episodes. I'll probably eventually get around to them but no rushing out to see who might die. The fun, which was trying a story arc, looking at any hints, then coming to the forums and seeing people's theories, and theorizing for myself, was the best.

    And yes, there are other types of players who don't play or enjoy it that way. But there are many who do play and view it like that. So by spoiling it, the game just alienated a large portion of their player base.

    The other types might be able to enjoy it still but the type that I'm in, now won't.

    Still hoping this is all a red-haring though.

    Hm, if its not, then I know the next story is going to be titled, "Who Get's Fired... for ruining a portion of the game for so many!"

    So mad.

    This is like the day Star Wars episode V came out. You are in line for the second show of the day when the first show comes flocking out. But they are all also chanting "Darth Vader is Luke's father!" and destroying the big reveal for everyone else. Thank god we didn't have internet back then because it would have been ruined for so many.


    The ball wasn't just dropped here, it fell and broke the foot. So Raged.
