Things that make you happy
Well said Sam. I know that feeling and share it!
I'll say it and risk getting more neg rep for defending the MA but it makes me happy.
I seriously love working up missions there - so much that right now I don't even have a "main toon" I'm playing. With my limited time online I pretty much only work on creating and play-testing missions there unless a friend is on and wants to team (which only happens about a third of the time I log in). People can rage against the MA, gnash their little bitty teeth over the temporary nerf and hold their breath till they turn blue for all I care. I'm having fun and nothing they can say is going to change what I like. |
MA is one of the most wonderful things they've ever done for me and many of my in-game friends.
I've done and been a part of so many damn cool things using the MA in ways nothing else could have even come close to accomplishing.
I love the MA.
My personal list might be:
- Ragdoll Physics
- Being able to come up with a concept and find that it totally works (Over and over)
- Great costumes and characters in action under my control
- MA
- Super Side Kicking (Not having to worrying about matching levels among friends and just being able to let anyone and everyone use their first choice, no matter the level)
- Lack of items/loot deciding effectiveness and being able to have my character(s) look how I want
and round up everyone that knows more than they do"-Dylan
- Playing Hellion Golf in Atlas using any knockback power. Fore!
- The Atlas Park plaza music. Every. Single. Time.
- Still finding odd new bits and in-jokes after 6 years, especially stuff that snuck past you in an issue change ("...when do you meet Hero 1 in a cape mish? I haven't done one of those in ages...")
- Introducing a new player to something that makes them go "whoa."
- Shield Charge, the new Dual Pistols loonytunes gun kata "nuke", and any other power that causes utter mayhem with your enemies.
- ...double that for Psychic Wail (aka "DW's PMS". Thanks Plight.)
- My Icon loyalty card. *cuddles*
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?

Crushing my enemies and seeing them driven before me.
Hearing the lamenations of their women is also a plus.
In the Arena of Logic, I fight unarmed.
♥♥♥ The blimp in Atlas Park.
♥♥♥ Turning off Fly from high up and then timing it right so I turn it back on inches before I hit the ground.
♥♥♥ Sprinting along on the monorail track.
♥♥♥ Leaping tall buildings in a single bound.
♥♥♥ Seeing the infinite costume combinations people come up with.
♥♥♥ Finding a really well-designed one among those infinite combinations.
♥♥♥ Herocon.
♥♥♥ Biffing Atlas Park Hellions over the horizon with my Eng/Eng blaster main.
♥♥♥ Prestige Power Slide.
♥♥♥ Sally badge.
♥♥♥ Human-form Khelds.
♥♥♥ The donut in Faultline. And the badge in the donut hole.
♥♥♥ The great pumpkin patches in Croatoa.
♥♥♥ Oro portal.
♥♥♥ Empath defenders that dispense Clear Mind and Fortitude.
♥♥♥ Frostfire mission.
♥♥♥ NPC dialog in the new and improved Hollows.
♥♥♥ Defending Talos hill from Rikti invasions.
♥♥♥ That City of Heroes is still here and going strong after six years.
Restoring 100% of a teammate's endurance after they nuke (with Transference), without asking them to reposition makes me giddy inside
