Eww. Just.... eww.
I think Brawler needs a girlfriend.
Thanks Manticore. That eases the pain of failing to see even one single named hero all through the event last night a little bit. Not a lot, but a little.

Ms. Liberty was kicking it (literally) Martial Arts style. I saw her Eagle's Claw a bunch of folk. I'm guessing she must have Dragon's Tail'd at one point too because all of sudden there were a whole buncha dead villians near her.
"Striving for the impossible" doesn't mean "toiling in vain". It means growth. It means improvement in the direction of your ideals. Not futility.

Following Lord Recluse is not a wise career move.

Isn't this basically what he did to get his powers?
I only managed to catch Brawler and Miss Lib, but only for a few moments. Brawler turned his dev-invincibility on and led us into a Longbow ambush, then footstomped and broke the mapserver! 
I got to beat up on and smacktalk Agent Simpson though.
"Way to fight crime, breaking international treaties, jerks!"
"Spandex is for [censored]!"
"Longbow are nothing but cowards and hypocrites!"
"Go back to Paragon, the Rogue Islands doesn't want you!"
etc.
I was trying to taunt one of the big targets to come visit so I could beat on 'em.
Positron had some great lines(ok you all had some great lines. I just loved his comments about greys and standing around all day.
My personal favorites:

Manticore:
Who are you, Makos newest chum?
Another bulls-eye, this is like shooting fish in a barrel.
Dont worry; Ive got enough arrows for everyone.
Are you all really that anxious to be the first one to get the enema arrow?
You'll be able to read all about this when I turn in my report on the Web of Arachnos...coming this fall.
[/ QUOTE ]
Mako's newest chum.... priceless

All you villains are grey to me, no XP.
You must be one of those criminal Masterminds everyone is talking about. Lets see who has the bigger brain.
What do I fear? Having an intellectual conversation with a Brute. All that SMASH talk gets repetitive.
Feels good to stretch my legs after a long hard day of standing around Blyde Square.
[/ QUOTE ]
All grey to me <smiles broadly>
[ QUOTE ]
Sister Psyche:
How many of you losers are working for Ghost Bimbo?
I cant seem to find any minds to read around here.
The weaker the will, the easier it is to control.
Dont hate because Im beautiful, hate me because Im kicking your butt!
The teleport to the hospital is ready for departure, Im Sister Psyche and Ill be your cruise director.
After reading your mind I realized that actually is the best you can do.
[/ QUOTE ]
Now I really wish I had met Psyche on the battlefield. I didn't know she was sutch a smart ask.

""Welcome to villain-busting old school style. I'll be your teacher today. You can call me Mr. Brawler."
"I been bustin' villains for 30 years, and I'm still not impressed by any of you."
[/ QUOTE ]
Thanks for getting the whole list together Manticore. Just awsome.
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
So at the very end was there a big event or did the servers just log everyone out?
Will there be a justification of what happened tonight? Like all villains were arrested? And where the heck were the signature villains? Why did we have to do all the dirty work?
[/ QUOTE ]
This event was a response to Operation Destiny. Statesman does not take kindly to Lord Recluse breaking so many villains out of the Ziggurat. The Freedom Phalanx and Longbow were pushed back but i am sure even more heroes will soon take up the battle against the villains of the Rogue Isles.
[/ QUOTE ]
Thank you for that answer, but how in the storyline did you justify the mass "disappearance" of all the beta characters? Just like in the CoH Beta where you said that the Rikti killed all of them :P
[ QUOTE ]
Positron also did alot of smack talking. He went on about how his armor held in his power so what chance did we have of hurting it.
[/ QUOTE ]
I told him that I had a very sharp can opener and was willing to try. Then he started beating the crap out of me.

[/ QUOTE ]
Will Lord Recluse be making a statement on beating the Freedom Phanlanx back ? will he expand on where he and the signiture villains were during this war?
and what is the deal with the UN wasnt the Isles under some form of protection from attack by them?
surely Lord Recluse would be petitioning for sanctions against the U.S and the 'Terrorist Supergroups' responsible for this Unprecedented and illegal attack on the freedom of the people of the rogue isles ?

[ QUOTE ]
He may have had the best sense of humor, but Statesman hit poor little Lambchop so hard it knocked her and the computer out, locked up and had to reboot! Guess my system conned as grey to him too.
[/ QUOTE ]
lol...now thats funny.
[/ QUOTE ]
So, 6-slotting KO Blow for Knockback will knock you right off of the Internet?

I think you took my reply of "You haven't even bought me dinner first!" too seriously last night Manticore.

My favorite moment was Sister Psyche confusing my brute... it gave me so many targets to SMASH!!!, I dont know if her player recieved them or not, but I sent tells BEGGING to be confused.
[/ QUOTE ]
Funny thing was that when she Confused my Brute the next attack hit her square in the face. I guess she likes it rough.
[ QUOTE ]
What are Ms. Liberty's powers?
Did she use the sword?
[/ QUOTE ]
Ms. Liberty is a Martial Arts/Invul Scrapper, as seen here.

As we were fighting the player controlling Manticore in the end of beta event, he started letting loose some smack talk. Pretty funny. Asked who wanted the "enema arrow" and then plugged his Web of Arachnos book.
[/ QUOTE ]
Glad you enjoyed it. After all, what is a good super-powered battle without witty banter.
If you think I've got a smart mouth, you should spend some time with Sister Psyche.

[/ QUOTE ]
Never saw you, Manticore, but your comments were legendary on Broadcast... I did spend some time chasing Sister Psyche around... she might remember getting nailed in the head by a forklift and an oxygen tank, then suffering the crushing force of Gravity Distortio... yeah, that was me

Best. Line. Ever.
Thank you very much for the list Manticore, I really had a great time last night and having the heroes talk trash back was hilarious, probably why I face planted quite a bit seeing as how I was laughing so hard at some of the quotes.
Now that's funny!!
I must admit, Mani had some good lines, But so did Sister Psyche, Dont hate me for being beautiful, hate me for kicking your bu tt , Need a teleport to the hospital, im Sister Psyche, and i will be your cruise director today. Now that was a couple of good lines.

All you villains are grey to me, no XP--positron
[/ QUOTE ] My favorite, made me spit up my coffee.
However I noticed a few things from those screenshots and from being there... 
A) All the devs took stamina
B) they all had a power pool called resistance..prolly due to
global defense cut. They left those hero's back to patrol
kings row where it's safer. Notice theres no fire or ice
tanks in the freedom phalanx, too squishy
B) They herded us and loved it, now they know how my tank
used to feel knee deep in minions.
C) I had a blast, even though by time I finally fought all the
lag, got close enough to back street brawler to use the all
powerfull "/em batsmash" emote on him, my cpu crashed
for the 5th time. I called it a night.
Thanks, was fun doing another cryptic beta.

Will Lord Recluse be making a statement on beating the Freedom Phanlanx back ? will he expand on where he and the signiture villains were during this war?
[/ QUOTE ]
He has. However, I am quite sure that Lord Recluse will NOT be giving privy details about their secretive operations to us. Rest assured, while the Freedom Phalanx and Longbow Operatives were busy raiding the Rogue Isles, a dastardly plot was being carried out in Paragon City......we must simply wait and the details will eventually manifest, much to the regret and discomfiture of Statesman and his cronies.
[ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]
No, Lord Recluse is above such petty and ineffectual 'litigation' based reprisals. Though he may have one of his legal contacts file a class-action suit, on behalf of those injured or hospitalized by his violent actions, simply for the bad press it would cause Statesman and crew. But as I pointed out, I'm quite certain that with the FP away from Paragon, Lord Recluse and his close servants made good use of their absence.....

Thx for listing those for us manticore!
Also what happened at the end? I got Disc. near the end and could not get back on, my SG mates were still in there so I know the server wasn't down yet?
I got a list of there powersets at this link, I missed getting manticores and the others, If anyone else has them please post them so we can see them.

And will i'm at it, how come it shows that they get the powers in backwards way, getting unstoppable first and so on, also getting to pick just fly w/ no hover/air sup.
You guys cheat!!!
I think when we reach lvl 50 we should be able to respect and do the same thing!!!!
