  2. Does the proc only have a chance to fire on the initial hit or does it also take each tic of damage into account?
  3. I was just checking the app store and there is a builder app already. As to its quality, I have no idea. It's a couple bucks but until I know more about its quality I am reluctant to purchase it. A port of Mids would definitely be something I would purchase though. On a side note, a different superhero game has an app for the iphone, not a hero builder, but it would be nice if we had something similar.

    I would really like to see MMO game developers expand the games beyond the PC and maybe have mini-games on smartphones where you can continue your progression, of course at a much reduced capacity. At the least it would be cool to play with the auction house on my phone or get monster/invasion updates.

    Hah, that is awesome. I remember the nights some of my family spent listening to Dr. Demento on the radio and my brother trying to record them with those old cassette recorders. I think they came from Radio Shack, were big rectangular boxes where you plug in a microphone. Lol, I will never forget my brother getting mad at me for coming into the room and telling me to shut up so he could record the show. As a kid, I didn't get it and always thought "why doesn't he just turn it off when I start talking?"

    I had bought a Sports Walkman, you know the yellow one, and that thing lasted for years. It also had auto-reverse. I can't remember the name of the store but I almost want to say it was a Best Buy, definitely no relation to today's store as far as I know. It definitely had Buy in the name. They sold all type of things such as jewelry, dishes, etc as well as electronics.

    Anyone remember when the video disc players were popular for a short time. I'm talking about the magneto-discs that were in a plastic sleeve that inserted into the machine. I have original Star Wars and it still works. Unfortunately, it is only full-screen.

Which is part of the reason I do not like MALing or EXing down. By the same token though, if killing is necessary to complete my mission, then so be it. Let the killing begin.
    Except the killing is in your own mind. The official story is arresting. Sorry, it's not your game to dictate the rules. You can RP all you want and there is nothing wrong with that if it makes the game more fun for you. I'm just surprised(and entertained) that it went this far when i was actually trying to help your initial argument with GG. No killing, no argument on witches badge.

    Instead, I feel like I ran into the male version of GG. That is something I was not prepared for and would not have posted had I known that.

    Sorry, but after seeing your original comment, my perception is you didn't care about the argument. If I was wrong in that assumption then I apologize.

    Edit: nvm. duh.
    No twisting. Just going by his exact wording. It's fine if you agree but like every comment here, it is your own perception that colors what you see and don't see.

    Uhh, no they do not. Yes, eventually they do run but many times they still attack you.

It is this same reason that I dislike "kill all" missions and why I normally try to stealth as many missions as I can at higher levels. Most of the enemies just have no chance and so I try to skip them. That doesn't stop me from killing what I have to in order to complete my mission though.

    Well it was fun playing with you, but that was your third strike and now your out. Good Day.
    I love your ability to rationalize your actions. I think your pysche would make for a great Punisher-type book.

    thanks for changing your post but since I did catch your original wording, I'm not so sure you believe what you are saying either since it was a knee-jerk response initially.

    He said that attack him. I can run Invuln or many other toggles and get attacked just by walking by a level 5. I'm not attacking them, Taunting them or backing them in a corner since they can run and do but will still fire off a shot or take a swing or two.

    Hey, you said that attack you. Why backpedaling?

    It's ok. I understand you now.

    It's all about perspective.

    "Hey Electro-Kid, thanks for killing those Tsoo and getting my purse back"

    "Hey Batman, thanks for killing the hundreds of thugs that worked for Two-Face even the accountants, lawyers, maintenance repairmen, security guards, etc. They were just as bad as Two-Face."

    Yeah, its all about perspective. I agree.

    If an enemy is "defeated" by loosing all it's hit point as well, it is KILLED. I have yet to see my toon put a pair of hand-cuffs on an enemy that has been "defeated". Nor have I seen some sort of teleporter beacon attached to a "defeated" enemy and them then whisked away to some jail cell.

    I know that Paragon Studios only talks about "defeating" and "arresting" enemies, which I assume is to maintain their "TEEN" rating, but I don't delude myself into believing that is what is really happening. I know that we are dealing with a perception problem, but I personally would be willing to bet very few people believe they are not killing the enemies.
    The ends justify the means. So everyone thinks they are just a killer? Not much heroic in that. What I find delusional is if all you do is kill, kill, kill and see yourself as a heroic figure or evil genius but you are nothing more than a super-powered murderer.
  15. Why does everyone mention killing? I thought we arrested foes.

    Though, I never thought about the equivalent of what we do on CoV as arresting does not work. Anyways, do we anywhere in the game specifically mention the word "killing"? I don't know about the rest of the players, but I always defeated foes which was not analogous with killing them.
  16. My City of Heroes logo, laptop size, is on the way.

    Debating on the larger sizes as it gets expensive fast.

    I read your comment and it didn't bother me. /shrug to those that it did.
  18. Can't say I'm really excited about any theories proposed here. Sounds pretty boring imo. If I had to pick any one of them, I would choose Separate Upper/Lower torso animations as the least boring.

    Well, I know what I'm going to read next. Thanks for the referral.

    I really like Sean Bean as an actor so I'm disappointed at how much screen time he won't be getting if this series is a hit and continues for more seasons.

    This. At the time many people said it hardly affected the damage of Fire/Kins. It was enough for me to notice and I really don't play that character anymore. The combo is still plenty good though.

    If I remember correctly, it was done because pets like Jack Frost were not cycling through ALL of their powers when speed boosted. The fix was too complicated so now the +rech from SB is only good on players.
  22. Quick question. Should I place that enhancement in my Conductive Aura or the Static Field?
  23. Oh good, not just me. Yes, I would get that traveling in the open zones of Praetoria.

    Yeah, I didn't use the lanterns for raising the floor but I did use it to create the stairway to each teleporter. Best of all, the beacons are right next to each teleporter instead of on the opposite wall.
  25. Unfortunately that guide does not help. Yes, I will use it when I try to raise the floor again but right now I would like to get back to the default state. It is a two teleporter room and I managed to make the floors go up to the ceiling. I need to know how to get them back down. I've clicked and dragged on all angles and it just does not respond.

    Edit. Ahh, never mind. There is the little mini window to delete sections.
