    what part of retro science FICTION do you not understand? you have been given examples of spacewomen in heels, just cause you don't like the answers doesnt make them wrong...

    I wouldn't call the combo a great soloer, but capable and safe if that's what you want. Team contribution is very nice. In today's world of everyone being soft-capped, the +regen aura and +resists from World of Pain are always welcome.
    I have him up to lvl 22 and so far I am very satisfied with the results, however he is dying to have a solo and team build

    Even in fiction, I don't think I've seen a woman in a space suit wearing heels.

    personally I try and keep some banter going, ask people what they need or let people know the plans ahead of time. less confusion usually means more fun.

    DP/Pain

    Ive been on a DP kick lately, I love the animations... I just cant help it... so how does it pair with Pain? It looks pretty good in Mids, but actual experience seems to vary.
  6. you'll lose the stairs, but raise the doorway or lower the room? (never played with slowfields so dont know if that would work or not)

    now due to me being a comic geek i respect the name change and refer to himas phantom rider so there is seperation between the two personal storylines
    Phantom Rider never had his own book (under Marvel), Ghost Rider did:

  8. I was a little miffed at a couple of the trivia questions

    1) Ghost Rider's old west counterpart was Ghost Rider (1967), it wasn't until the new Ghost Rider appeared in the 1970s that they changed his name to Phantom Rider

    2) Steve Jackson Games does not own GURPS Deadlands anymore than they own GURPS Vampire or GURPS Werewolf, they licensed it from Pinnacle Entertainment Group, the owners of the trademark Deadlands.

    not saying I would have been fast enough on the draw to have won those particular questions...
  9. I would like to see them add another option to swap ammo... add a "hollow-point" round which converts the damage from lethal to smashing, leaving KB in place...

    not a jab at you, but one group of people that seem to be ignored in this argument are the VIPs who aren't t9 yet. we pay every month to play, yet there is some stuff that is not available to us because
    a) we haven't been playing the game for YEARS
    b) haven't spent a bunch of money to "get ahead" so to speak

    as I stated earlier, if I wanted any of the t9 stuff, I would have to fork over $210.00 extra dollars or wait another 2.5 years...

  12. here's my take on it... I just broke into tier 7... I doubt that I'm going to see any of these items on my characters. so enjoy your exclusivity...

    AR vs DP

    Im torn, Ive played DP/Dark to 50, and loved it, I have not tried AR, but for some reasons I cant get over the ascetics of AR.

    the secondary is Traps, which will work better? I will hold onto AR if given a good reason. the only plus I see is every attack is ranged, including the nuke

For NOTHING MORE than a RIDE ACROSS TOWN?!? Why, this is just as bad as that other thing WHERE YOU GET TO CREATE YOUR OWN ADVENTURES IN A GAME YOU PRESUMABLY ENJOY!!! When oh when is this madness going to stop?!?!?!?!?

    Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Everyone's entitled to their own preferences regarding this game. Regarding Team Transport, mine fall in line with: IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME -- and thank you, CoH!
  15. Since I haven't played long (less than 2 years) I only have exp with 4 servers. Freedom, Virtue, Guardian and Triumph

    Triumph: seems dead most of the time, my firend's home server, he is rarely on and he likes to solo... so....

    Freedom: had some bad experience with some of the players, so I avoid, I know most players do not behave badly, just left a bad taste in my mouth

    Guardian: I consider this my home server, mid level population, good experiences with the playerbase

    Virtue: just recently dipped my toes in the water here, friendly folks, RPing... but not as much as I expected, high population and easy to get teams together

    From my guide:
    I've just gotten a StJ/DA stalker 20 lvls further than any previous attempt, granted that is probably because of the AT changes

    you mean like ligers and fireman helmets?
  19. this was my first real attempt at getting a character over here, my home is on Guardian, but I have a few friends over here as well.

    I got a DP/DM Corr up to lvl 43ish from lvl 1, and it is now lvl 50 w/ all 5 incarnate slots unlocked and judgment and alpha slotted with something.

    StJ/DA

    I'm contemplating making a brute using this combo, any suggestions/pitfalls I should be concerned about?
  21. I just got a DP/Dark Miasma up to 40 over double XP weekend and he was a blast (no pun intended) especially in a group, lay down tar patch, scare them then lay into the with AoE goodness

    those aren't toggles, those are attack powers, and the mechanic is already in place to disallow attacks when a power is on (Invisibility, Afterburner) I fail to see there being a good reason to detoggle powers
  23. I purchased the Imperial Dynasty Bundle, and was sad to see they were "made in China"

    on a serious note, Belts #4 & #5 clip on the back of the thigh on monstrous legged males...

    Players can normally obtain/unlock the Roman Costume pieces for free in-game, but this has to be done PER character by completing the ITF. The purchase of this bundle allows players to unlock many of the main costume pieces for all other characters on your account without having to do the Task Force.
    no offense, but that is dumb. If you want exclusivity, remove Rommy's shield. cause at this point, if you want "a" roman sword you might as well wait til 35 and get everything in one fell swoop AND NOT PAY ANY POINTS!
