The one thing I can agree with is that we should be able to preview the sets in the character creator. And not just the numbers. We should be able to preview the animations and customisation options as well. The tech apparently exists to stop you from progressing past a certain point if you have options you don't own selected on a character.
Of course, similar suggestions went unheeded in beta... -

I think she was being witty. See the post she responded to - "so fast it does not exist"
It was referring to the fact that a SD/Broad Sword Tanker is impossible. P_R offered up that the OP might've meant a Scrapper, which is likely (as is a Brute), or a SD/Dual Blades Tanker, which is impossible. Had she just offered impossible options, I probably would have thought she was being glib.

Yeah. Possibly a scrapper, or SD/dual blades?

Quote:I find Traps annoying to use, personally. It doesn't matter how good the numbers are if it's not fun to play.Originally Posted by Draeth Darkstar
Mechanically speaking, you'd be insane to take FF over Traps in today's game. The Traps set is one of the best, and most versatile, while FF is one of the worst, and least versatile.

Quote:I was going to dangle a preposition at you with fervor, but my brain refused to cooperate, so that now I'm unable to.Originally Posted by Thirty-Seven
In other cases? Well, I am sure not going to point out to someone in in-game chat that they have split an infinitive, or have a dangling preposition. But I will likely notice, especially that last one. I have grown to love the word "which," it allows me to fix so many sentences that are befouled by "that" and end in a "with" or "to."

Quote:That's height not width. Objectively.Originally Posted by Rigel_Kent
The proof is in the pixels. The villain version's lower lip has been photoshopped two pixels upward, creating a longer chin, a shorter face, and a smile that's at about a pixel smaller from top to bottom. That is an objective, measurable reality.
There is, in fact, another reasonable conclusion. CoV was its own game, originally, yet it could also be installed in combination with CoH. They made new faces for it which made the old CoH textures stand out poorly, so they gave the old faces higher detail to make them not standout so badly. Since the games could be installed together, the improved textures (that people who only owned CoH wouldn't get at the time) had to be given a separate name. Thus they had a "v" added to the name, not because they were villain faces, but because they were the improved textures in the City of Villains game that had to be differentiated from the old lower detail CoH face textures.Quote:The altered faces were named "Villain Faces" in the tailor when CoV launched. For a time, they were locked to redside toons, while blueside toons were locked to the original faces. Even after the merge, the altered faces are labeled with the letter "v" in the internal game code, while the original faces have no "v".
There's no other reasonable conclusion here. The altered faces are villain faces. -
I ran the sewer trial up to level 20 with one character. I ran it a few times the other day with my Grav/Son Controller and finally got him from level 30 to 32. It's a nice little run. And given how simple it is to run through, as well as how simple it is to just queue up and go, it's a supremely casual experience no matter how many times you run it... at least, in a time and place where queuing up for it works relatively quickly.

Quote:"To beg the question" is only a reference to that fallacy in the context of discussing logic and associated fallacies. Context is important in understanding language. Also, while a person may raise a question, a situation may only beg for a question to be raised. Thus, a questionable situation begs the question that the speaker is subsequently raising.Originally Posted by Spatch
2. "It begs the question, why does X do Y?" These people should be strung up. To beg the question is to commit a specific fallacy in logic. It is more commonly known as the circular argument. To beg the question is not intended to literally reference a question. To do this, the correct phrase is "it raises the question."

Quote:I wonder if they could fake split the damage - make it essentially pure toxic damage, but make it do 0 Lethal damage just to get it to check against Lethal defense.Originally Posted by Oathbound
Problem being that there is no Toxic Defense, meaning typed defense sets have no defense against a toxic based damage set.
Every attack would have to be split damage types (Lethal/Toxic, Fire/Toxic, etc) so that it checked against an existing defense type. -
I like getting dogpiled by baddies and curbstomping the lot of them. One of my earliest memories of the game was my first visit to Perez Park from Atlas. When I zoned in there was like a hundred Skulls and Hellions all piled on a Tank a little ways from the gate. Standing at the gate was me and a few other lowbies looking on in amusement, if not awe. I was lucky enough to get to do a few Perez Park Parades myself before the aggro cap got shredded.
In any case, I would be happy to see the occasional massive group of pathetic minions loafing around in a mission. Instead of the random extremely low level gray guy that I run into hanging around with much higher level enemies - don't they know about sidekicking?

I propose changing the name to Bangity-Fwoosh Stick.

Quote:I've never had a problem with capitalisation in the middle of combat, and I play with a gamepad so my hands don't even start on the keyboard. Though I do have to admit to typing less since I moved to a laptop. I suppose I type too lightly and/or quickly for it, because it drops letters if I go at it with my normal typing fervor. I have to slow down and be more deliberate about it, which annoys me almost as much as forgetting to be deliberate and hitting "enter" before noticing that 1/3 of the letters are missing.Originally Posted by PleaseRecycle
Omitting capitalization seems to be totally ubiquitous in the game at this point and I myself do it. Why get in the habit of typing "properly" in a context where rapidity is always going to be valued? You can still use correct spelling and punctuation, if you're feeling florid, as you care to, but going for the shift key on proper nouns is silly when you're trying to type "if it wasnt for my horse i never would have spent that year in college" between parts of your attack chain during a hami raid. At any rate, the content that is transmitted is 98% of the point of communication in the first place so if you really feel the need to become agitated at someone's typography, feel free to excise it via self-flagellation.

I don't know how I feel about the episode. There were a lot of good moments all piled together, but piling good things together doesn't necessarily make a good thing - like nacho cheese on Nerds on ice cream on pizza. I feel somewhat dissatisfied and I'm not entirely sure why.

Except in this case, there was a split infinitive... quite the grammar "no no."

Quote:And yet you put periods at the end of sentences that end paragraphs. Interesting.Originally Posted by UberGuy
Edit: Full disclosure - I tend not to put periods on my ending statements in online chat. There's something about doing so that strikes me as too proper. I have concluded that this is partly because chat has another delimiter in the form of the rather obvious <end-of-line> break that ends a chat entry. Therefore, putting a period isn't usually necessary to convey <end-of-statement>. However, that's true only if the statement is the last one on the line. If I put multiple statements on a single chat line, I put periods at the ends of leading ones. Also, periods are the only terminating punctuation I omit this way. For example, I don't end questions without a question mark (except accidentally).

Quote:But how would they know that it's the need that should be serious? Perhaps the getting should be done in a serious fashion.Originally Posted by GuyPerfect
Grammar Nazis, on the other hand, would point out that your "seriously" should be placed before "need"; not "get." (-:

Quote:They could care less. If they did care less they wouldn't even bother pointing out how little they cared.Originally Posted by The_Spad_EU
The problem also occurs when people fundamentally misuse the language by saying things such as "I could care less about X". Those people should be killed.
