After watching the E3 movie of CoV today I realized one thing...He was getting tossed around like he was dead, Statesmen tried to see if he was alive but was interrupted before he could...So when CoV hits the stores does that mean that Synapse will no longer be in the game and maybe that new guy will take his place. Dunno really just speculating.

sorry to hijack it back to a point closer to the OP but You know synapse goes SS'ing in there, and ends up dead.... 4 seconds can kill you....
*the previous post is brought to you by letters J and K
Comon Synapse, you run in there with no Stealth and only Superspeed? Of course your going to die. *Scoof* Power levels will get you nowhere.

I have seen this xenophobia junk on other forums and I had really hoped that CoH wouldn't get the disease.
Don't hate ramen just because it's tasty and inexpensive!
Every culture has it's heroes (and tasty snack treats). The heroes of Paragon have had many alliances with heroes of other countries in times of war and peace.
(Insert Web of Arachnos subliminal message)
A hero is a hero, is a hero. Korean, English, Mutant, American or Kheldian. All heroes would do well to remember that, not just in times of need.

I'm offended. How can you, in good consconce (and good spelling 
) insert common sense and reason into a thread that has so rapidly devolved into such a fine example of drool-inducing, mind-numbing mud-slinging. Why the only thing it is missing is the random sectioning of quotes.
Oh, and Dynamic curses to you and your stealling of my avitar
*Throws acorn*

Heroes = Humans?! ?!@?!?!?!?!?!?JFDSKL

THE CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!
I'm kidding. Yes, Xenophobia is horrible 
NEVERTHELESS: Please make another video. Showing Synapse get up and take out that ghost girl. I mean cmon he has to regain some blaster honor.
I don't know if anyone mentioned this...but he was going scouting WITH MASSIVE YELLOW GLOWIE EFFECTS. I don't know about you, but that doesn't scream stealth scout to me. The conversation amongst the Arachnos guards probably went like this:
Mook 1 - So we hit this bar last night.
Mook 2 - Any good?
Mook 1 - Ya, the waitresses were outta this world!
*Synapse goes speeding by with enough lights to outdo the Rockefeller Center XMas tree*
Mook 2 - Right on. Let's go tonig...wait...what was that massive dose of yellow that just went by us?
Mook 1 - *Sigh* Another speeder. Better get LR on the horn. Stupid Blasters...probably gonna try and drop a Nova or some stupid *bleep*. He coulda at least TRIED to be sneaky or something.
Lesson for the day: Don't try to scout without Stealth + Superspeed.

I'm not even really sure why I'm getting so defensive over the two Korean threads. I've only been in my mother's country twice, and I've lived in the freakin' US pretty much all my life.
[/ QUOTE ]
It's bothering me, too, because the overall tone is just plain awful.
I'm not Korean, but two of my cousins were born there.

Whatever, we're americans. We don't "bomb" anyone. We "liberate" all over their faces.
On a sidenote: Synapse is dead, well mostly dead. no, he's not getting better. He's gonna cancel his account, him and his 15 friends, including states. His Player told me after the SS changes, CoH's DEVS are out to get him, so CoH sux and is now gonna go play WoW.
True story....

Only after they roll back the SS nerf.
Or maybe he'll reroll as a scrapper.
Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
Well my attempts to derail this thread seem to be only marginally effective so I would like to point out that if you take ten people from ANY background, one of them is going to be a jerk.
Really people why waist your time not liking someone because of things they have no control over (Place of birth, the amount of pigment in their skin, ect.) when there are generally better reasons not to like them
Heroes die all the time, thousands died in the alien invade, and now just one more. At least this is a resonable disappear, personally I feel it's much better than the 5th column's leaving.
In America today it's entirely acceptable to hate, and make racist remarks towards and against white people.
Europeans are almost universally whites (Caucasians).
Imagine if Liquid had stated that he hated Africans, or was even more specific, and stated he hated blacks?
This board would turn on him in a heartbeat.
There are certain groups with whom is it virtually a mortal sin to write hate speech about (Read: Gays, Blacks, Women).
Other groups (Read: Straight, White, Male) are under assault almost constantly. Watch television commercials, notice who is the butt of virtually every joke. These boards merely mimic the culture we live within. A culture of hatred, hatred of white men.
Many may argue that "Well, I can't be racist against whites, i AM white!". You can easily be racists against whites despite being white, just as much as it is possible to be a misandrist if you're male. (Although misogyny is a relatively well known word, misandry is not. Whereas Mysogynists hate women, Misandrists hate men).
That's the long comment. Here's the short one.
If Liquid had used the dreaded N Word, or even made it clear he hated those of African descent, how long do you think it would take before he was perma-banned?
Something to ponder.
hmm blaster rushing in ahead with Super Speed on and the rest of the group behind. Sounds like 70% of blasters I've met.
You know the group had trouble because they didn't bring a controller with them. :P

Guess we should have taken a hint by how popular the 5th was.

You know what I find funny? I made a post poking fun at the whole "5th Column was changed because of the Europeans" crap, and yet 90% of the replies have been from people thinking I was badmouthing Ramen.

Hey, hey, hey..
You can Bad mouth the Europeans,
You can Bad mouth the Koreans,
But I draw the line at Ramen...
If Ramen is wrong, I don't want to be right

Erm, Synapse isn't dead. Red name posted and all.
He's just doing the usual post-Blaster attack nap when you aggro an AV. I mean, if you want a comparable experience, go find Psychic Clockwork King or something and try getting too close.
And blatant ramenphobia will not be tolerated on this, or any other forum I'm a member of.
Without ramen noodles, a significant number of the heroes of Paragon would be AFK for a while when their owners fainted from lack of food...myself included. :P
Seriously, the name of the game is City of Heroes. Statesman is the greatest living hero...but remember, it was a British hero that sacrificed himself to close the Rikti portals and save the world. Paragon is A city of heroes, not the only one in the CoH universe.
We play in a small part of an entire world full of superheroes, supervillians, and the battles between them. Heck, many of the folks we play with in Paragon don't even have origins in the United States for their heroes, nor are many players from the USA, even in the US servers.
Relish that. If more people worldwide find something to play together in and have fun, it's a much better place. I'm actually hoping that we end up with CITIES of heroes, not just localized copies of Paragon. Paragon has Statesman. Maybe we can see Korea's CoH have a different city name, different heroes instead of our Surviving Eight. Maybe even different bad guys!
If over time, the other versions of CoH localized like that...we'd really have a world of heroes. And that would be a Cool Thing. Maybe some day I'd even be able to visit (transfer) and explore a new part of the world?

I'd love to refute your points, Dissension, but not only would it not convince you, it'd get the thread locked, 'cause these types of arguments can only go bad.
The rest of you, keep talking about noodles! Only you can prevent flame wars.

Yeah, I agree. Don't know anyone from Korea, but come on. This is a game. People ought to keep their racist and ethinically offensive remarks to themselves. I'd really like to see the DEVs enforcing this because no one should have to feel uncomfortable coming onto the forums and that stuff does just that for me.

That's because fish and chips are serious stuff. A bag of chips, a filet or two of cod and salt and vinegar on the lot must be treated with reverance at all times.
Dreaming of tasty fish and chips...
