One for the red names.

I have been a skulking the forums for some time now and I almost never post. I have witnessed many good natured, well intentioned people shot full of holes and ridiculed for their lack of technical knowledge about game animation and worse yet, their grammar. In an era of acronym overkill brought about by nothing less than sloth I find it refreshing and noble when people take a stab at that troublesome and dated pastime known as grammar. My pet peeves aside I would like to bring to your attention what "isn't" possible. It is impossible to lick your own elbow. That being said I am sure a handful of you are hitting reply to recount your own elbow licking adventure or combing the web for a video link to some freak chick to which elbow licking is the very least of her abilities. All in an effort to debunk my belief in the elbow licking theory, if you were only so intrepid about game ideas and their proximity to the realm of possible. I am tired of the phrase "not within the current framework of the game" or NWTCFOTG for you nymtastic people. Even better is the phrase "The Devs will never go for it". Did it never occur to you that the reason the Devs wouldn’t go for it is because they never thought of it? Do you not realize that we have rapidly outgrown this framework cage we have been in for the past 5 years? Do not think me ungrateful. I love this game. I just think it needs a bigger cage…with an exercise wheel. Stop dwelling on the impossibilities and start pushing for them. Power proliferation and customization is great but long overdue. Switching sides is another great revelation that is also long overdue but is Going Rogue going to expand the realm of the possible other than power variety and a few badges? I want a jet, motorcycles and cars. I want one of those Ugo’s you see all the time with the thumping stereo. I want more interaction with my environment. I want to see a car banana when my giant character lands on the roof then be able to throw it at a Sorcerer. I want to be able to swim under water. I want five story robots to attack the city. I want a MECH that shoots rockets and peppers targets with bullets. I want to be able to pick people up and throw them through a storefront window. I want citizens who aren’t bipolar, alternating between strolling like a zombie or running around like a freak and I certainly don’t like them pushing me around like I’m on roller skates. I’ll stop my Dennis Leary rant here before I really get going and leave it to the techies to pick apart. Before I go, ask yourself, is this cage big enough?

... And did you remember that we also shout "search please"?

You want cars - the devs * do not want cars * in this game. they've said as much, flat out. They don't want this to become city of jetbikes.

We've got underwater in the works, have you not played a little in the new Cimerora maps? It's something they've been working on for a while.

Collision cylinders = no picking up anyone.

The cage is big enough. It's also made of gold, so... I kinda like it here. Looks like a lot of those things are very heavily influenced by the CO videos out there... have fun with that.

And yes - the devs "have" thought of it. Whatever "it" is. Seriously.

Read a review that Champions online was small in scope. I havent seen any videos just a few still shots and I saw some costume similarities. I think they will have a long time before they catch up to Heroes. I enjoyed your assumption though and the fact that you felt insulted enough to defend the game. Congratulations on being the first of what I am sure will be a conga line of techie nay sayers. I loved that bit about the cylinder thingies. Total Sanskrit…seriously.

The OP's post without all the flamebait:

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Kind of off topic but your sig...

"Blasters: Four years of drawing aggro and running from your heals.
Scrappers: We die so that you dont have to!
Defenders: Ever try to solo with ice slick and brawl?
Controllers: I refuse to be your SB dealer.
Tanks: Huh? This shovel make my head look flat? "


Since when did Defenders have the ability to solo with ice slick and brawl..?

Your criticisms may have been valid but their delivery was "lofty". How hard was it to say "I feel you and I wish we could do some of that stuff too"? Nothing was ever accomplished by not trying. Now I may not know about cylinders and animations but it hardly makes me someone to be looked down upon. I apologize for the hotpocket remark. It was uncalled for and it is noble of you to look after your mother, I wish her well. I also apologize for my writing style as it tends to be creatively coarse. I did not intentionally look to incite a riot. (What is a flame fest anyway?) I just think the Developers need to give themselves more room to work.

utting og ur ung eemed imple-it. (translation:Cutting off your tongue seemed simplest...) that phrase would be totally impossible without a tongue.

Ill try not to step on anyones toes through their curly shoes Kit.

He's more saying "Defenders don't get Ice slick". Or that's how I read it, at least.
