yeah, id do it.

ya know, im ok with this. actually its a good idea.

Growth nd shrinking are iconic powers, no question, but i keep wondering how proponents would have it work in enclosed maps like caves arachnos and ornabega. my ice tanker, who is max height with wings, makes it difficult to see in caves, growing any larger would seem to me a difficulty for cameras, and a sever limiter on how large you could get. so while i totally agree that it would be neat, it carries problems that i can imagien would be fixable without a significant investment of manpower and the results would probably dissapoint most of growth's major proponents as being limited. sorry, im not getting water powers either though, if it makes ya feel better :P

EDIT: oh and adam does get respect points for being a adult, rare online, but appreciated when it shows up.

i remember perez park hopping, it was quite the scene back then.

i also remember when there was no exemplaring, only sidekicking..that was a pain in the butt.

i remember when you had to be the right level to play a tf or you just didnt play that tf.

I remember the first time i got a so, it was off doc vahz. it was a big deal back then.

For those that need absolute clarification and transparency; the “High Collar” is separate from the new hood. Remember when I said that we would never have high collars in the game because of limitations. Well I just found a creative solution to the problem and the result is what you see. The “High Collar” works like the other cape/back detail category. I’d like to hedge off the flamers in advance, the “High Collar” clips with most of the sholderpads, sorry. I love you all.

*Also; No, the females won't get the "Wizard Beard"

[/ QUOTE ]I can live with that, all of it. expect my sale as soon as its up.

[*]Mystic Fortune Power:

Ever wanted to have your fortune read in game? With the Mystic Fortune power players will be able to offer to read each other’s fortunes. Having your fortune read gives a power buff based on the Major Arcana of the Tarot, and can give a positive or negative effect on that character for the next 20 minutes.


[/ QUOTE ]

I sure hope the effects of this power are deletable before 20 minutes ... I don't want some terd I don't know, running up to me, using their power, and now i'm debuffed for the next 20 minutes with no way to prevent it/remove it.

[/ QUOTE ]my guess is that tis an opt in thing, like teleports and ressurects. if you accept, you accept the result. hopefully they have fully vetted this for griefability because it could be annoying in the wrong hands.

Great, now I'll have to redo two of the custom mobs in "Chains of Blood"....

...J/K, it's no trouble. I expect I'll get this by purchasing the box.

[/ QUOTE ]kidding or not, this is a new real consideration. maybe the new boosters might not have anything for my characters...but could i make a good MA enemy/ally out of this? and of course, i like the outfits, and can see several of my characters using them, so bought as soon as i can.

lets not forget ry'leh and the underwater city by innsmouth. probably the closest conventional fiction similarities to the coralax and merluna, though she seems less malevolent than cthulu

people can cry ripoff of lemuria all they want, coralax predate the existance of co by quite some time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Umm, no. Champions ONLINE, yes. Champions has been around since 1981, much longer than the COH universe. (Hell, even Positron was a Champions character before he was a COH character.)

I'm in the Champions Online closed beta and the Lemuria zone is...interesting... I'm not quite sure I'd want to see an equivalent in COH though. Still, if it leads to greater possibilities of the lore and storyline... Well, as a writer, I'd look for any excuse to deepen a story. So, chucking Atlantis out of the equation, I'll /sign this one.

[/ QUOTE ]I did specify co, didnt i? I played champions in the late 80's, the pnp game.

some have suggested that this was one way they could pull off the "incarnate" system. where you would at 50 take on some aspect and that would confer specific powers. I dunno, It could be done, but you get closer and closer to making everyone grey then, epics already give you a bit of the powers your at lacks(patrons less so, but villains are a little harder to define "roles" of than standard hero at's) any more than that and you might find some drastic balance issues popping up.

heh cyc, ddnt even see your post till i finished. we are of similar minds apparently.

Im not down with atlantis, we already are kind of dealing with atlantis with the cot and mu, but for a general water zone, then i'm with you on this. we have been sitting on the coralax storyline for about 8 issues now, Id be all for lots of underwater stuff, gimmie a water themed at, water powersets, a water zone, a glass of water..yeah all signed. people can cry ripoff of lemuria all they want, coralax predate the existance of co by quite some time. jsut lets have it be a segregated access zone, not co op, a hero instance and a vill instance, with properly flavored missions.

ok, i have a question. not sure if this is jay or babs realm, but during the winter event, the halos we got were locked with one color, this was originally called a bug in the motd, will they be tintable soon? seraph blue wants a blue halo. thanks for your time.

i clap for you, well done

I discussed with Jack and Poz what to do, and we had a plan back then. We knew it would someday be possible for a villain to turn into a hero or vice versa

[/ QUOTE ]So very.. very.. excited. *renews subscription*

[/ QUOTE ]just remember that side switiching was supposed to be a part of cov, it was even somwhat detailed in the pc gamer that preceded its launch, that was then dropped. Now, also consider though the infamous email survey theat indicated a new expansion was in the offing, and that one of its big things is "morality switching" that eventually allows side switching, so if you have faith in the email,which was confirmed as true by the devs, but was also just a survey so it may or may not come to be as stated, then yeah, it may well be back on

Abiding Badge: 50% discount on all tailor sessions: Start out your new characters in style!

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh gawd Ex.....just change THIS ONE and everything else is fine. I mean seriously....that's so friggen lame it almost ruins the coolness of the 60 month rewards.....we've been in this game long enough to NOT need this reward at all....besides, we get sooooooooo many free tailor sessions with other rewards already....that this is, quite frankly....useless to many.

[/ QUOTE ]and incredibly useful to some, like myself.

[ QUOTE ]
Will all the travel pools be this way? Like can I take Fly, Super Speed, Super Jump, Teleport all on one toon and not take the previous power or is this a one time thing for one pool?

[/ QUOTE ]not sure, but the general wording "this badge unlocks the following pools" vurses"this badge unlocks one of the following pools" seems to indicate that you can jump into each of the pools. Yeah, im kind of surprised here, this is pretty balance altering, rian just got a very kind slot free-up, so cant wait for june to get mine.

[ QUOTE ]
What does this mean...

It means there is something BIG coming up for i13 and i14 and the Devs needs da money RIGHT NOW!! And there giving an extra month so you will pay in advance!!



[/ QUOTE ]that was one thing i was thinking of and chatting up with a friend. there are other possible reasons. one payment cuts down on processing fees, locking people in during a very rough economic patch before they have to make prioritizations between gaming and food, and yes, the launch of more direct thematic competition were all discussed. but yeah, it does seem like they are getting a big batch of short term cash to maybe fund something that might be able to draw in a newer userbase to offset the long term losses of this. the new guy might want to invest in perception buffs, i smell an assassin strike

favorite? there are a lot, and ill edit more in later, but whoever redid the badge ui i would kiss square on the mouth, male of female.

its a shame it had to most likely end like this, will miss you. corporations suck.

[ QUOTE ]
I know i may be in the minority here but I am not egarly awaiting Mission Architect... I am sorely disappointed that is going to be the only feature of i14...

I was really hoping for something more... maybe i am just a little burnt out and that is making my view jaded, dont know... but I was at least hoping for some Power Proliferation at least... heck anything would do... AR for defenders or whatever...

[/ QUOTE ]i think it might be a mistake to see issue 14 as another issue, the vibe i am getting is that it will likely hit sooner than a standard issue, and may not impact the planned timeline of issues. it may turn out to be more an issue 13 b, may hit sooner than 3 months, and may be followed sooner. Just how i read it, it will likely be hard to put whatever was planned in i14 back when i13 was supposed to be just 13 plus the mission architecht, so i doubt they would try to stuff a fully planned issue(as it seems they are well into working on the next issue by the time an issue goes live) with the newly expaneded setup of mission a. perhaps someone who knows the topic better could confirm or deny this speculation.

of all things, it popped up in comic culture a few weeks ago, yeah its nice news.
