I still need to try the legendary English dish known as Beans on Toast.

If they *do* release CoH2, I would hope they'd raze CoH1 to the ground. Right before the servers shut down a red message flashes on everyone's screen: Rocks fall: everybody dies.

Holmes is an accomplished boxer and a master of a particular martial art in the books. I believe he's supposed to be a decent fencer and handy with a pistol as well.
Irene Adler plays a major role in the story she's in, wherein it's intimated that she leaves a lasting impression on Holmes, at least. -
Quote:Yeah, one of the worst offenders for me is the dreadlocks.That still doesn't explain why SOME of the feet and hands we have (for instance) look good, and some look like mittens and giant club-feet.
Not to mention the faces and hair. Dear god...the original line up didn't just get hit, they got run the hell over by the Ugly train... -
Never heard of it. Or if I have, I've forgotten.

Quote:Some other games have apparently bigger, better looking zones, too. I can only imagine that they're working with a game engine that's better at handling such things. The devs have been pretty good about making things work within the limitations of the game, but unless/until they move on to a new game (hopefully the sequel) such efforts to improve will always be hampered.I don't know how other games do it, but having even short hair sway just looks cool.
And, of course, there will always be those who would complain about new shoulders and feet completely screwing up their characters. -
The 1895 thing is apparently a reference to a poem called "221b" by Vincent Starret:
Here dwell together still two men of note
Who never lived and so can never die:
How very near they seem, yet how remote
That age before the world went all awry.
But still the game's afoot for those with ears
Attuned to catch the distant view-halloo:
England is England yet, for all our fears—
Only those things the heart believes are true.
A yellow fog swirls past the window-pane
As night descends upon this fabled street:
A lonely hansom splashes through the rain,
The ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet.
Here, though the world explode, these two survive,
And it is always eighteen ninety-five. -
I have, but details have a tendency to fall out of my head. As I recently remarked to a friend - for some reason, I remember that Blibdoolpoolp is a subterranean god related to the Sahuagin and/or Kuo-toa, yet I've often been known to refer to one of my favourite painters as 'that guy who did the melty clocks'.

Quote:That doesn't work for me. If I'm doing something with IOs, it has to be done right then. I can't wait 24 hours because if I do it may actually be weeks before I log back into that character and there's a good chance I'd've forgotten what I was trying to do in 24 hours much less several weeks.I have no problems with the market, all it takes is a little patience.
There was a time when I was able to accomplish an IO goal. In the past I managed to outfit ONE character with IO sets largely conforming to my desired build (it was mainly lacking the various +Regen/Recovery IOs in the healing sets as they were FAR out of my price range). In more recent times, the few instances where I've looked into the possibility of setting up one of my characters the task looked hopeless either due to lack of supply or outrageous prices. -
I find Brutes and Scrappers to generally be a bit too frail for me to really enjoy them.

Quote:I just want to buy and sell at reasonable, preferably set prices and be done with it. I largely ignore IOs, even basic IOs anymore, because I've either found the costs to be far too high, or the supply of what I'm looking for to be too low/practically non-existant. I don't even bother trying to sell most recipes anywhere but a vendor any more - if I ever found a purple recipe I might, or if I got one of the global bonus IOs/procs that there's always a demand for. I'll put salvage up if I see a demand, at a price equal to what a vendor would give me for it plus the Wentworth fee (263 for Common, 1052 for Uncommon, and 5263 for Rare IIRC).Yeah, what I find weird is that it seems the people who complain about the market are the ones looking to game it. The ones who just want to buy, sell, and be done are happy with it.
You get one salvage that sells for 1 million and you are set. You will never run out of influence buying SO's again, maybe if you dual build. -
It'd be kind of nice if it kept a running average of purchase price for each item.

I've never encountered a player power in this game that I thought was *too* powerful, especially at base value.

The perfect player auction house is one that doesn't exist.

I'm betting "SHERLOCK I HAVE FOUND YOU"...
EDIT: Apparently the "Comments" on the main site revealed it. So much for an apparent mystery. -
Incidentally, I was trying to figure out if 1895 was some sort of reference. I thought it might be the year The Final Problem was published, but apparently that was 1893 - close, but no cigar.

To me, this was the best episode of the series so far. I think my favourite parts were the more 'human' moments Sherlock had. His righteous anger on behalf of Mrs. Hudson. His relenting apology with Molly as well as his realisation that he had taken his game too far (Watson's reaction to the apology was priceless, too).
-
I wonder if Spock and Worf count as human?
-
If you're solo in the case of that particular AT which has inherent mez protection at no sacrifice, you have other options (one of which is also inherent). I'm just drawing on the precedent to show that low-grade mez protection as an inherent is well within the bounds of reason.
-
Who was talking about Indomitable Will? I believe the topic on the table was inherent abilities. Put that together with mez protection and having a Controller on the team.
