  1. Nice work BAS!!! And yeah, she got the hair goin' on...

    Hugo is awesome.

    scarf, you've gone off the deep end again. Stop it.
  3. if an art posting has "critique not desired" I'll just give the accolades.

    Other than that... I'm not afraid to say exactly what seems 'off' about a piece. It's not enough to say "enh. I don't like it." you have to be able to articulate what exactly the problem is in your view.

    A critique should tell the artist what improvements you think might make the piece BETTER. general "good, bad, sucky, awesome" aren't as helpful.
  4. Something else to note for this guide.

    For Trials, the difficulty will be set by the Highest Applicable Level.

    Say for the Respec trial, you have a 25, 2 26's, three 27's, a 28, and a 50. The 50 will autoexemp down to 30, setting diff at 33.

    If you exemplar the 50 to one of the others BEFORE YOU FORM THE TRIAL TEAM, then their effective level will match... and your map will be easier.

    In the above case, exemping the 50 to the 25, and the 28 to a 26, will effectively cap the trial at 30 instead of 33 (much more do-able for a team whose members know their powers need fine-tuning!) This is one of the few times where being within 3 levels for the exemp is OK.

    Plus at the end, in the reactor, you can reverse the exemp/aspirant combo to be a sidekick/mentor combo, making fighting off the mobs that much easier.

    Yes it means some people will not get XP, and instead will be paid in influence and/or prestige. Most regard this as an OK tradeoff.

    Yes! If anyone has any idea how to stop the "idle" animations so that the character is merely standing there without crossing his arms or putting her hands to her hips, let me know! It's very irritating.

    There are other animations that return to a neutral position. I'd have to go through them and find which ones. ;akimbo and ;atease are good for costume demos though.

    You could always issue a "powexec_name Brawl" which since it wouldn't have a target, would just put the character into the combat stance.
  6. Well we DO have the Revisionaries... the alt-based group...
  7. Not active ATM, sooo busy on Virtue, new Peacebringer, several other alts that seem to be in high demand... whew!

    I'll have to jump over and run thru the rest of the Faultline arc, I do so enjoy it.
  8. Coolness!!

    And yeah I need to log onto Liberty and get me some Envisionaries time.
  9. Whoooah.

    That's totally awesome, Plas. Thank you!!
  10. I just put together a retrospective on Soul Train, upon her tagging 50 yesterday.

    I'm sure that you could find a piece or two there. And yes, all artists are credited.
  11. a .... 20-minutes... doodle...




    DAAANG!!

  12. MMm, yes!!!!


    Thank you Bobby!


    And conga-rats Ghost-Lotus!! I'm not loafing, I know very well what I'm gonna do.
  13. I have her on three. If a book-signing is in order, I can always copy the original to Test

    Oh wait. I get it. Yeah. I suppose a once-per-month rotation would work...
  14. Thank you all... It's been a long hard trip... and yes... most of those two years were soloed.

    I've rolled her Kheld incarnation on Virtue... tying it into her origin, of all things... dunno how one can twist a Kheld merging with subatomic physics, but she's been a dormant kheld all along?


    With apologies to Cat Stevens (and all those people who don't care for him)... I give you... Peace Train!!
