  1. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd another thing!

    Am I the only that has thought up the idea that Illusion Control's Phantom Army should have the option of creating duplicates of yourself (sans your powers, that would be too powerful) instead of of some random generic NPC's? It is illusion afterall... "Here Bad guys! Which one is the real me? Mwhahaha!"


    They can do it, just check out the new Posi TF!

    So I am one of those who support the cosmetic stuff for lvl 50s only... but the cost for this is INSANE! 20 Empyrean Merits? Its hard enough just trying to get a trial going, then hard enough just to unlock the slots, THEN getting enough salvage to craft the damn things. NOW youre telling me I have to choose one or the other or grind for a long time.

    Bad move devs. Bad move.
  3. P.S.

    To the devs, love this mid issue release. nicely done!
  4. just to add my 2 cents in regarding the lvl 50 costumes...

    i occasionally run into a younger player (in terms of game time), and they loko at my trenchcoat, or they look at my angel wings and they ask how i got those.

    I say you get these as a veteran player by X amount of months.

    Really 50/50 of their responses is:

    A: Awesome! I cant wait!
    B: X Months?!? Im not playing this game that long to get those! And then they usually finish their /tell with some form of insult for allowing myself to play the game for so long.

    So I see this the same way. If people want this, theyre going to play the game regardless if they have it character creation or hitting the level cap and running some content.

    Like the veteran rewards, it just takes time and its a prestige thing for having these rewards.

    Is it fair to everyone? No. But then you cant please everyone.
  5. I would like... what I call animal spirit auras.

    Basically they would be something like Jean grey as the phoenix :P

    I want to be enveloped by a bright shiny bird plz
  6. Anyone else try this? Just ran it and got 15 merits, and 1200 xp.

    Wish List for 21

    1. Additions to the APPs (wheres my psionics for blasters, electricity for DOMs?!)
    2. Power Proliferation
    3. Costumes
    4. Color Customization for APPs

    While some powers will affect your appearance, it doesn't work the other way. Costumes do not affect your capabilities.
    could you imagine the awesomeness if the game had this design addd to it?

    OK, can someone PLEASE clarify this?

    Are these rewards unlocked account wide for a limited time? So for example, June rolls around, does that mean I lose the rewards on new characters i make?
  10. i think the bigger question is:

    Is the vanguard pack unlocked account wide? Or is it like the anniversary badges, and you have to log into every character to get them within a certain amount of time?

    Do you have to log into each character to get these during the anniversary period or are they account wide as well?
    Did I miss a post on the details for today?

If Superman is viewed as an instrument of American policy, the thought might be (as he stood in solidarity with Iranian protestors) "The Americans are only looking out for their interests and seeking to expand their influence in the region!" If Superman is only representing Superman, the line of thinking is completely different. "Superman's standing on the other side... am I sure I'm morally in the right?"

    Frankly, though I love the phrase "truth, justice and the American way," there is nothing inextricably American about the American way. Anyone around the world who stands for democracy, for the rule of law, for the equality of all people.

    By renouncing his citizenship, Superman can divest himself of the realpolitik practiced by the US State Department and do things like denounce dictators and strongmen that are US allies. He can fly out from the Fortress of Solitude (which I believe does not lie within the borders of any nation, correct me if I'm wrong) and be a hero for all of mankind.

    I don't think it's stupid at all. I think it makes perfect sense for Superman.
    bingo.
  13. Hail of Bullets = Equilibrium FTW.

    And Ive always been a fan of Rise of the Phoenix.
  14. Remember when Anthony Michael Hall was cast and everyone lost their minds cuz the INTERNETS fueled with rumors as him playing Edward Nigma, and then speculating in the third film he'd be The Riddler.

    Then themovie came out and he was some random reporter. And regardless of who he played or what he did, TDK was complete awesomeness?

    Yeah, well that's how i'm going to look at any OFFICIAL casting news. Regardless of who they are going to play, I trust Nolan and the movie is going to be full of win.

I'm not trying to dredge up the decades old "which machine is better" debate - I'm just stating an obvious fact. If 90% of the playerbase played on Macs then we be using a brand new Mac launcher today. It's just that simple. *shrugs*
    Umm, I totally get that. However, a dev stated that there would be a MAC launcher. Lower priority? maybe. Should it be? No. If you are going to changhe the way a system/client works, it should work for everyone. Maybe this is a bit extreme of a view, but would you make the same argument if say the DEVS could only publish content for windows users first, then MACs later?

    this.

    However, to this day I still think Praetoria should have been 30 or 40+ content.
  20. Hey There,
    I am trying to save different keybind .txt files to my iMac, but I cant seem to find the directory in which they are saved.

    I can find the folder in the show package contents, but not sure what is the correct string...

    help?
  21. I hate these. with a passion. Because:

    Quote:
    ./piggs/geomBC.pigg: Corrupt pig file detected
    Read failed for file: object_library/city_zones/Praetoria/Extras/p_Containers.geo
    -1

    Your data might be corrupt, please run the patcher and try again
    I run the patcher and even verify files. nothing. this happens if i load into a zone or just randomly enter a new neighborhood. Any help?
  22. sign me up for this one. Also, I find it amazing that whenever we get a new power set, it does not make it into the APPs as well. I hate that my psi/psi blaster doesnt have some willpower awesomeness to go with his psychic abilities.
  23. anyone know if there was a bug fix to the 78 month Vet reward?
  24. So a few weeks back I tried to redeem my XP power while teamed. I claimed the power but it never appeared in my tray or powers tab... I heard in a channel that if you were teamed while redeeming it you wouldnt get the power.

    Any word on a fix for this?

Maybe this is merely reading too closely into some flack's copy, but perhaps it hints at how Nolan views the characters.
    wasn't the announcement for TDK also only reference Aaron Eckhart as playing Harvey Dent? We saw how that turned out

    Ill wait and see.
