    Quick Question

    Hey All,

    I've been away for a year or so and just came back. I'm trying to remember the syntax for having your MM pets do emotes. Can somebody remind me?

    Thanks
  2. Heavy armor, light armor for those long hikes through the desert where platemail is inappropriate. Day to day where. Future armor, old armor, battle damaged armor, black armor for those evil moods, and of course sexy bikini armor or loincloth for the "fantastic" armor look.. There's a wide variety of things.

    If you only want one costume though, that is in fact allowed. It's not like you are required to take more. Sometimes a character only needs one set of duds.

    I can't believe that people actually see Desdemona as "chunky" or "thick". I weep for our society that considers anything more than skin and bones to be chunky or thick.

    Most of todays models and stars are just way to skinny.
  4. I believe they've stated that there are internal reasons. It causes problems in some way.
  5. I have several that are close contenders. It's probably a tossup between Parody and Promise for my heroes. For my villains it's got to be my stalker named Camouflage.

    My wife has a character named Irradia. (no periods on any of these names.)

    It's a very small issue, probably more than stable enough for a Friday launch after this much testing. What I am wondering is whether or not the booster goes live with it.

    Small issue or no, there is no way they're going to release any issue about an hour before the close of business on a Friday. It won't be until Monday, or more likely Tuesday.
  7. Hero: Numina
    Villain: Ghostwidow

    Why: I like their costumes best. Shallow I know, but they're really cool costumes.
  8. I don't know if anybody else posted this, but I just saw the news. He was an "interesting" person, but a great musician, and I at least will miss him. May he find peace and happiness in the Great Beyond.
  9. CoH badguys don't like to be called Mobs. They prefer Adversarial American.
  10. I have been playing this game for 5 years, well about a week shy actually.

    1) I have no main. If you ask me who my main is, I honestly couldn't tell you.
    2) I have unknown numbers of characters scattered across the servers.
    3) In 5 years I've gotten only 2 heroes to 50, and am yet to get a villain that high. Though I've made a vow to concentrate on a villain. Except my new BS/Shield scrapper is so fun, and I I like the animation on my dual blades, and my wife needs somebody to play with her new little controller so I should really came up with somebody.......
    4) I make up backgrounds and pencil and paper Champions stats for my characters, and enjoy that process almost as much as the game sometimes.

    I am an altoholic
  11. 1. Travel power at 6 - which I'm still technically 2 weeks from, but I'm anticipating.

    Flavor dialog

    This has been a source of endless frustration for me. That and the fact that most battles begin immediately, so one side is usually defeated by the time the characters get there. Related I assume. I've sorta given up on fixing it, and just hope that someday the bug will be fixed, and my missions will then be a bit more coherent.
  13. I have minor tweaks I may do, but for the most part I'm happy with my missions. I won't start a third arc until Issue 15 is live though. The testing tools sound too handy.
  14. I understand where the OP is coming from. He's just wondering why some people do enjoy it. I can't say for sure why, I just do. The same reason I like GMing pencil and paper games I suppose, It's fun to create, and see other people interacting with my creations.

    Now if I could just get a few more people to interact with them. As a previous poster proclaimed, the hard part is getting people to play your arc, when there are thousands of them out there.
  15. I just don't like playing villains, and the few kinds of villain I would be interested in aren't really available. I'm just a blue side person. If I do play a badguy I like playing catburglar, thief types, and that's not really available. I do my best to only take missions that involve robbery, but the flavor text one gets entering into missions usualy tries to put a voice to my characters that I just don't agree with. It is also very difficult to avoid some of the missions that just don't sit as well with me.

    The OP has also been playing the worst stuff there is to do. For content it's much more interesting if you do Hollows/Faultline/Striga/Croatoa/Rikti WZ. Hollows is the weakest, but they're all well written tight arcs. I'm afraid there aren't tons of good low lvl task forces, until you get to Striga and above, but there's always hope for the future.

    I'd be thrilled if they had an issue that was simply a revamp of old task/strike forces, and maybe adding one a few each side at lower levels then 35+.

    Patch Notes?

    Here's the official costume feedback thread. Scroll down about one entry and somebody has linked em.

    Patch Notes?

    While the new TF and architect features seem pretty cool, I must admit that for a full issue, this is pertty lacking. I'm not overly upset, as we've had a couple really big issues lately, but from a marketing standpoint I'm not sure this is really worth billing as a whole new issue.

    More like 14 and a half.
  18. Having pretty terrible grammar and spelling myself, your arc has to be particulourly heinous for me to grade it down for grammar and/or spelling. I have done it though on the most aggregious offenders.

    Luckily I have a wife who's a teacher, and proofreads my stuff for me.
  19. I'm pretty sure his entire face is made of putty at this point, and he just sticks the mask to it.

    No one likes DA?

    I just don't like Dark Armor because it looks like a smokestack puked on my character.
  21. I would love something like that. Or just an invulnerabilty mode, so I can go through, hit my bosses to make sure they say the right thing, but not have to worry about the niggling little issues, like death.
  22. There's no inspection. My arcs usually appear about one minute after I hit the publish button.
  23. I'd guess you're over the size limit? I had a problem where even though it said I was 99.8% on my size, it lied and was still over. I removed 1 custom boss, which lowered my size enough to fit.
  24. I'm having problems where NPC's are uttering $name, or $heshe, instead of actually using the name. Usually it's in a patrol, or I think it did it on a boss, but before the boss was aware of the hero. Is there any solutions to this?

    Thanks
