Quote:I wasn't mocking anything, so do go kindly stuff yourself. I was simply stating a fact to explain why his example of "all the cool names being taken" was an extremely poor one.Originally Posted by Clouded
So, since you are unoriginal and uncreative it's fine for you to mock others?
Got it. I'll keep that in mind when reading your posts.

Quote:You know, your response would be meaningful rather than trolling had I made any sort of claim that my name was creative, original, etc. The fact of the matter is that "<color> Centurion" is not a particularly creative name. That doesn't make it bad necessarily, just means that the odds of it not being taken are extremely slim. To the point where I'd be extremely shocked to try it and find that it -IS- available on even a very low pop server.Originally Posted by Clouded
Yes, Tyger42 is much better. Good point.
Very true. How about Blue Centurion42? -

Judging from his 4th post, I think he's either going to be regularly visited by the moderation fairy or just plain ragequit. And I don't think either is a particularly painful loss.

Quote:One name, and a frightfully unimaginative one at that, doesn't prove your point.Originally Posted by Blue_Centurion
K, try getting "Blue Centurion" on Freedom or Virtue, because I've been trying very regularly for four years.
I see tons of cool names in the tutorial and running at the low levels all the time without the "Xx" or numbers. On Virtue, one of the two most populated servers. Just gotta be more creative than "Blue Centurion"....Quote:But sure, if you want "Cool Name 412" you can probably get it. or "XxSpiderxX" Name a half dozen of your characters with cool names, on busy servers. -
It is possible that it's an intermittent bug and I always happened to be on my rogues when it was active.

Quote:Huh. Well, my Rogues have been able to do hero missions just fine since my very first one shortly after GR launched. *shrug* If it's a bug, it's been around for ages.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
That shouldn't be possible given what we were told and able to do in GR beta.
-
Nope, they've always been able to do this. Same with Rogues on Hero missions. Might've been different during the GR beta, but I wasn't able to get in on that much.

Quote:Power concepts, sure. But there's more to concept than just the powers. I don't see a hero that likes to fight crime in a snazzy suit and tie riding around on a rocket board much.Originally Posted by Soul_System
Rocket board in all honesty fits ALL character concepts except one's where your hero/villain completely rejects all technology for some reason (which is a valid story based theme) OR a very small % where powers themselves would conflict with the ability to ride the board (and couldn't be creatively thought around). I don't care where you get your powers from you can learn to use a rocket board same as you can learn to drive a car. Very very very few power concepts will prevent this.

Quote:Same reason the mez protection in Super Reflexes is a click. Just the way it works. It's a compromise for the set.Originally Posted by graystar_blaster
Why isnt active defense active. Why is it a click. It seems that cause my recharge is so high it always gets in the way of my attack chains. It kills a power with build up.
Can we make that a toggle please.... -
Quote:Well, some that young, but not many. And those that are do so against the ESRB rating ( Teen ). Still, blood and gore would be violating it the other way.Originally Posted by crayhal
5 yr olds play this game. One doesn't need to maim to be heroic.

Quote:Skulls have magic, too. Hellions summon demons, Skulls use voodoo magic of a sorts.Originally Posted by GavinRuneblade
I think this right here pretty much sums up how it is safe to use guns or blades in a superhero game. (and why it's not always a good idea).
And remember, lots of times we're attacking enemies who regenerate (trolls), have super-reflexes (Crey Operatives), have magic (hellions, carnies), use mutagens (destroyers, trolls, family), are mutants (outsiders), aliens (nictus), are supernatural (nerva demons, warwolves, vampyri) or are wearing power armor (crey tanks). Plus the robots.
that said there are times (low level skuls) where it's pretty hard to suspend disbelief. -
Quote:You talk as if someone lied to you and told you we were EVER going to get this option...Originally Posted by Blue_Centurion
When are we gonna get an option for blood and gore to show up on defeated opponent? For blood to spurt from their faces when that extreme attack hits?
No, we don't. While I'm not anti-blood/gore, it's completely unnecessary. I don't mind it when it's there as long as it's not to the point of just being ridiculous ( Unless it's done for comic effect in a game themed around that kind of humor ), but we're not missing anything without it. It adds absolutely nothing to gameplay. And when it comes to pure fluff, I'd rather have a shinier world in general than blood-and-guts splattering around.Quote:We need these upgrades, we need them now! -
Quote:Perhaps, but only vaguely, really.Originally Posted by St_Angelius
No, it doesn't. But the middle "big honkin sword" pictured is very reminicant if Mr Strife's/Zack's "Buster Sword" from said game.

Quote:The Buster Sword from FF7 was a big-honkin' sword, but "big honkin' sword" does not automatically equal "Buster Sword".Originally Posted by Giant2005
Is that picture legit?
I am both excited and confused about the Buster Sword being there. -
Quote:Hover's fine speed-wise these days. It moves at around sprint speed unslotted. 3-Slot it and swift with flight speed, and I believe you get around the unslotted Fly speed.Originally Posted by Giant2005
Ninja/Beast Run is absolutely amazing.
My usual combination for travel is SS + hover. SS is fine but hover for vertical movement sucks, it is very very slow.
You want sucky hover speed? Look at how it was in the early days... It was about useless. -
Quote:We do. That doesn't mean you'll never hit a queue, though. If the server's full, the server's full. You'll be among the first in the door ( Other VIPs that queued up ahead of you will get in first, of course ), but that doesn't mean you'll never have to wait.Originally Posted by Frostbiter
Actually VIPs are supposed to get priority queues. Whatever than means.
Honestly, the queues are a good sign ( Though also a sign that hardware upgrades are needed ): It means we're drawing enough population to fill the servers. That never happened except on 2xp+free reactivation weekends before. -
Honestly, if you slot up Swift and Sprint with runspeed, you can move at a good clip with Beast/Ninja Run. It really is viable as a travel power like this, IMO. It's not the fastest nor does it have the best verticle movement, but it is a good hybrid of superspeed and superjump ( Not as fast as SS or high leaping - nowhere near as high, but higher than CJ - as SJ... But, combine the two into one free power, and it's a fantastic deal ).
My one wish was that I could have Ninja Run turned on with SJ just for the flippy animation while I jump.

Quote:Same here. In fact, I never once did old sewer runs.Originally Posted by Mr_Wilkinson
Yes, there were people who did the original origin contacts. I am one of those people.
Twinshot doesn't hand you off to new contacts, either.Quote:Originally Posted by Frostbiter
I ran a new MM through the beginner Atlas Park contacts and I ended up with no contacts that way too. The new contact arc in AP does not give you new contacts at the end. I did skip Twinshot because I hate her and her friends.
At least, she didn't a couple weeks ago.

feh. I would just get to 10 and start doing task forces. Who needs contacts?

Quote:Yeah, this. It's the new(ish) large warehouse rooms that are causing the problem. A really high end system won't notice it, but anything less...yeah. It's not the multiple video cards or anything, it's something screwy with the room design.Originally Posted by DarkGob
That room is infamous for causing problems, I'm not sure changing anything on your system would help.
Preatorean lab maps don't seem to play nice, either. But they're less of a problem. -
Quote:One man's "thrill" is another man's "tedium and/or frustration". Neither man's wrong, just sayin'...Originally Posted by Madadh
It wasn't drastically. It was made easier (smaller enemy groups, mostly). They made some contacts easier to find. They added a hospital and a trainer in zone. And added a repeatable mission contact.
I feel that it made the zone too easy, and removed the thrill from the zone
