Yeah, don't let Posi pick the wedding gifts.

I think they have a flame thrower because Anti-Matter is a villain and for villains everything is better with a flame thrower or gatling gun attached to it.

The Clockwork will clean up dirt ... by any means necassary.

Which includes incinerating it


I was doing some playthroughs of City of Heroes. Now they will serve as memories of a better time ...

Yeah, but Black Scorpion named him. (Someone needs to write the fanfic as to how THAT happened).

question: Black Scorpion the Villain or Black Scorpion who was tricked into reading Castle's spreadsheets?

*bampf*

Did I hear my name? What am I not supposed to be writing?

*reads the thread*

Woot, an official 'call' for fan fiction! *cracks her knuckles* I can do this!

And actually, I've already got stuff plotted out for writing Anti-Matter when... err... never mind, we're not there in the story yet.

At first glance, I thought it was "bottler". Like H-merits were primal 'heroic' Enricheā„¢

I didn't realize Castle's spreadsheets required a SAN check. Then again, I've seen some PowerPoint presentations that did, so it isn't really a stretch.

How many years was he stuck in that containment suit after the Rikti War? And the only thing he takes off now is his helmet? Right...

I think he takes off other parts of his suit during server outages in the seedier parts of Paragon, if ya know what I mean...

I think B.O.T.L.E.R is funny, even if Statesman's dialogue seems to suggest that he doesn't think so much of the idea

I think Statesman wasn't in a good mood that day with everyone acting kind of like a sitcom cast.
In his defense, I suppose he feels that the Freedom Phalanx needs to try to keep a professional look before other heroes as inspirational role models, and Sister Psyche (his apparent second in command, if I recall) arguing with her husband (who is arguing back and is supposed to be pretty damn professional by nature) about having kids in front of other heroes doesn't feel "Yes, we're ready to take on anything Arachnos, Rikti, or Praetoria can throw at us."
In defense of the rest of the Phalanx, Fort Trident IS kind of a super group base for them where you're supposed to be able to take a little bit of a load of and breath before the next disaster strikes.

Also, States was probably cranky because his SG base isn't nearly as spiffy and functional as the Vanguard's.

Go to Fort Trident in Atlas Park, and you'll see this wonder of modern superscience

He's part of the second crappiest thing to come out of the Paragon Studios era of this game, Fort Trident in Atlas. The only thing worse is The Crucible in Cap. Those two places are overwhelmingly below the standards to which the rest of the game seems to be held.

If Black Scorpion is responsible for them I can only hope that he is never allowed to design a zone/write dialogue without adult supervision again.

The Phalanx standing around beside the portals are awful as well. I assumed they were clumsy Nemesis Automatons from their dialogue.

The entire place is chronically bad.

To be fair, that whole "zone" was something that was likely assembled rather late and hastily. In beta, Players wanted some sort of reward for "staying true" which alignment merits provided. They then needed a place to put the store.... and a few other bells and whistles (access to all the TF/SF Givers) so they cobbled together a little spot with a pre-existing map and some custom contact text. I wouldn't expect it to show the same effort of something like Studio 55.

No, but I expected some effort. How many times have we heard they don't want to add something until it's done correctly? Why did that not apply here? Other than the AM vendor (which is a [censored] trashcan for villains because nothing says Incarnate Destroyer of Worlds like digging through the trash) what is in there that people really use? Why not just move the AM vendor outside and nuke these incredibly bad zones with incredibly stupid dialogue that have the signature characters doing incredibly stupid stuff? Then we can just pretend this never happened and talk about how Paragon Studios maintains high standards for their product.

While I can rant about these zones for days with itemized lists of everything that I hate about them, I probably shouldn't hijack this thread anymore. My apologies, Amazing Guy. I'll stop.

Actually, I think Fort Trident should use the Vindicators' base map (I forget which villain arc it is, but you plow through almost all of the Vindicators, and there are Longbow in offices with computers and other neat stuff). THAT, to me, has always been my visualization for what FT should look like. And oh yeah... it should be in IP. Not Atlas.

The Crucible, by comparison, should be something similar but Arachnos in flavor. Like one of the instanced Arachnos maps where they have their shooting range, the weapons niches, the computer bays, etc... Hell, even that underground map where you fight Wrath and something and something else while Arachnos minions watch. (You can leave it in Mercy, that's cool.)

As for where we get our A-merits? Supercomputer of some kind. Something big, impressive, that bleeps and looks like it's capable of storing power of amazing capability. With all the nifty stuff we can stick in a base, something like that should be used for A-merits.

ANYWAY... back to B.O.T.L.E.R.:

I wonder if he's the result of Posi tying one on the night before with Synapse, Manticore, Foreshadow, and the gang, and then having to explain to Statesman the following day what the hell he built after losing a round in Truth or Dare.
