I would watch that. i woudl watch that a few times.

boxers can do this too. they look nothing like wolves, but the change in temperament, from big puppy to will rip your arm off can be striking. we had one that wouldnt bark..he would just quietly, but with clear purpose,move into position when there was a unexplained noise..he did not want to spook it away.

I say this a lot..mostly because its true, but you are insane. I play all 3 superhero mmos, and there is not one that does the hurling and weaponizing thing in a smooth and organic fashion. It is at best an inferior alpha mechanic to any of the charged shots in the competition online(or a laughably slow melee attack that rarely even uses an appropriate animation for the weaponized environment detail) or an incredibly gimmicky thing that is of limited use, limited and arbitrary application, and is terrible to try and use in a fight unless an npc or teammate is taking the aggro as in our direct competition online. There is no good representation of a weaponized environment system in mmos right now, coh is just too old to have tried it, and the others tried and failed terribly.

ya know, its art intensive, but id like it.

frankly, im wondering if dying in video games(all of em, not jsut mmos) isnt ready to go the way of 25 cent buy ins and 3 lives. It really only serves to break up the narrative, make continuing immersion breaking and, with most major games having checkpoints lots of places, largely an annoyance rather than a real consequence. Worse, in games with persistance like mmos, the explaination as to why death was so minor an inconvenience is almost always awkward and silly.

I didnt miss it in fable 2 or 3, and i didnt miss it in kirby's epic yarn. these games still made getting hurt a problem because it interfered with your progress or attainment of higher rewards, but didnt rely on the jarring idea that you died..oops, you are fine now. Really, id say those games actually made it hurt more, because you you were going for a great new ability in fable, or a secret stage patch in kirby, getting tagged and falling short SUCKED, and you couldn't just reload from 5 seconds a go and do it again. it really serves little narrative purpose and is a relic of a bygoen age.

(ok, it kind of works in dark/demons souls, but thats because the whole game is about dying over and over again)

scales also gives a reptillian underbelly, that doesnt really work with fish. so far I have been using bioluminescent a lot more for my fish themed chars. john talban aint cute.

you know, giving the devs their due, issue 15 seemed to address 3 things. people wanted reichsman and had been asking for him for years. love it or hate it, it added him in game
2. this was in the midst of the whole booster pack thing, and many were pecking paragon heavily for selling booster packs and not giving any new costume pieces as part of the base subscription price. 15 had the ulterior set and the vines pattern. it wasn't much, but it was an olive branch.
3. it was a quickie release to get out on the anniversery with no closed beta, people used to get seriously cranky about them back in the day, complaining of bias in the sample pool so the whole issue seemed to be a pacifier more than a full issue.

in between major announces, and even marginally then, this forum isn't constructive. you cant blame a chicken for getting feathers all over.

so in other words, we turned on the internet

utter nonsense, quit trying to hold back my game with your narrow definition of comic books. seriously, the same bunch of narrow minded people come in and spout this thread after thread, and its just plain wrong, coh embraces the broad variety of heroic comic options, it is not, nor should it ever be relegated to an outdated and anachronistic interpretation of superheroic fiction. there already is a superhero mmo out there with a bunch of spandex crap, and its garbage, lets keep coh free form for the modern times.

In a way, not really. now to preface this, I dont feel this way so its devils advocating here, but it seems to be their point that new stuff is happening at a disproportionate way, lots of new powers but similar content to go through limits the novelty a bit. wether you are using water blast, plant melee or feather duster assult set, if you are whacking the same enemies over and over again, it can still feel like the same stuff. now balance is different for every person and for some valuations are weighted differently, For me new zones are ok, but costume sets are a major thing, and powersets are less of a pressing need for me. but its less a crazy thought process and more a different valuation and feeling of balance of content. Its more likely that for the op, 7 years in a game that is still mostly in the diku mud style setup is a dang long time, and i can understand burning out even on the best thing. , you left for a time, and that helped reset your clock, I play a lot of other games and often dont play for a week or so,so i reset my clock, but if you play anything, no matter how good, for 7 years is just a long time.

ever notice how before a face-heel turn, a good character will often start caring deeply for others and idealism, and complain that others are holding them back from really doing as much good as they can..then they go bat-nuts genocidal when they decide to just ignore the rules? its a well worn trope.

Que? most lizards eat bugs, komodo dragons eat just about everything that walks under their perch, up to and including large mammals. I cant think of any lizard that is not a predator(edit, ok apparently the crested gecko can be entirely herbivorous) . maybe not an apex predator, but they are definitely several steps up in the food chain.
