Leg Accessories

I am so jealous of these and I wish we had them too

I'm not working for anyone in Praetoria or for Vanguard until they stop lording them over me.

Jerks.

Oh, and while I'm here.... Backpacks.


Aww yeah.

I would suggest you peruse this thread.

There were no leg accessories OR backpacks in that thread. I have been lead astray.

And while I'm here again, someone tell Nemesis to quit making automatons of me that go "THIS IS YOU: DURRR HURR HURRRR" and make stupid faces, it's really starting to hurt my feelings.

Speaking of Automatons, if they share all the powers as the person they're based on, why doesn't Nemesis just build like a thousand Hamidon automatons and be like "lol, raid this"

I mean, could you imagine trying to organize that many Hami raids at once?


Then again, if this plan fails, everyone involved will have enough merits to buy immortality so maybe that's why.

And while I'm still on the subject of Automatons, how come every inconspicuous office full of them always has a Warhulk present? And how do they pass that thing off?

"NO GUYS IT'S JUST AN ANTIQUE WATER COOLER *CLICK*."

And then everyone's like "But there's a dude in it" and they're not programmed to reply to that insinuation so they're like "ERROR CLEVER COVERUP 96 NOT FOUND BZZT HAIL NEMESIS KILL CHILDREN" and suddenly everyone's suspicious of the new guy.

I think Office Space would have been funnier with automatons.

Hi, Bakala!

But hey, now that I'm awake again, it's time to talk about NPCs some more.

So what's with the Sky Raiders? I mean, they wear jetpacks all the time but 90% of the time they're just standing around offices/tech labs and not flying at all.

Then you get to the last room and what do you always find? A Skiff. A Skiff! In an office! How did they even get it in? Did they carry in the parts and assemble it in that room? If so, I feel bad for destroying something they obviously worked so hard to build.

And what about the guys without jetpacks? Do they have to walk? Do they ride Wing Commanders to the drop zone? There seems to be a dearth of armored personnel carriers in the CoH world, and even those that do exist are always either sitting idly somewhere or driving aimlessly around the Warzone. Sky Raiders deserve a near flying APC too.

Hey do you guys remember when the original plan for the game was to make it so Player Characters were about on par with Lt.s as far as relative combat strength went?

Man I'm so glad that's not the case. I know I mentioned it in another thread but that was then and this is now.

I feel like a real superhero in this game.


Except when I play a blaster.




Buff blasters.


edit:

Actually remind me to play less Scrappers.

Was that you in the picture at the beach, doing the headstand?

i am entertained.

as an entirely tangential comment, leg accessories would be cool too.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Oh, and while I'm here making suggestions for gameplay additions in the wrong forum, and also faking AFK on a TF to write this, there's another thing we totally need, and I'm definitely ripping off someone else's idea but I don't remember whom so it's okay, and also the idea is a weapons-based control and assault set.

I want to be as infuriating as a PPD Equalizer.


On second thought, I am, but I want that to translate to gameplay mechanics.

I can't be the only person here who logs on a plant dom and tries to talk the potted shrubs in office buildings into fighting for the winning side, can I? I mean, it may anger my team, but one day we're gonna be up against an AV and we won't have the might of the Hamidon to help us. See if they kick me from the team THEN.

(Just between you and me though, I do it IRL too)

Oh, I just had a thought. Shocking I know, right!? Hahahaa shut your face.

Anyway I was thinking about the Council's recruiting in Steel Canyon. Now, not to diss lovely Paragon City, but I don't see a whole lot of able-bodied citizens stepping up to take a flyer. Or at all. Everyone walking past is either old, fat, or screaming. I wouldn't want any of those people in my army.


I tried to volunteer once, I walked up and was like "Sir, I like what I'm hearing." Suddenly they all pivoted to face me, really creepy-like without even moving their legs, stared for a second, and then pulled huge weapons out of nowhere and they all fired in unison. I was like "Wait, stop firing! I want to be a fascist too!" but then one of them kicked me in the face. Thanks, but I'll stick with capitalism. At least with it you know when you're going to get brutalized (April 15th).


Oh wait, I forgot my original point. Yeah, why is the Council even allowed to operate overtly in the city? If a hostile paramilitary organization occupied an American city you'd think the national guard would be all over that. They wouldn't be stopped by some dude in tights going "DON'T WORRY GENERAL I'LL HANDLE THIS /B WHO WANTS TO RUN HESS"
