And I left the information out of the show notes just to spite you.

Cause lolpvp.

Honestly, it's Tunnel Rat. Talking about Visual Effects of the new powersets. I have no idea how you'd expect there to be a mention of anything PvP related in there, or there to magically be some PvP related information that I didn't drop into the original post.

Or are you just hosing down every thread you can with your pet personal issue just for the lulz?
You're way too angry for that avatar, lol.

I gotta say, I wasn't very excited about the next issue, until they talked about street justice and now the leak of that staff fighting video. Oh, the power of communication...

Constant negativity?

What part of asking if there's any mention of PVP is negative? How am I treating a "group of people" (which you are apparently the spokesperson of) in a negative way?

It's an innocent damn question and I'd appreciate it if you got off my back. You're following me into threads and psychoanalysing me. It's getting old. Back off.

How can I follow you into a thread in which I posted first?

You stop following me into my threads with your deliberate pot-stirring. Good day, sir!

Fair enough. Didn't notice your other post.

All I ask then is that you stop quoting me/obsessing over me/reading my mind/etc.

If you have a problem then send me a PM.

You know... there's been some good stuff and all...
But I'm really really disappointed now...



How on earth can someone with such obvious talent and a nose for this stuff, such as Tunnel Rat, NOT HAVE SEEN ALL OF GHOSTBUSTERS?!?!?!?!?!?!

Seriously though, hehe... Tunnel Rat, you have rewarded us all with your work... Now, when you get back home, set aside a couple of hours and reward yourself... watch Ghostbusters.

Even if you don't love it, we'll forgive you.

Zuul demands it!


And thanks again, Von Krieger!!

Also, I can't wait for that revamped PvP Island Zone!!! Awesome!11!

Worse than that you were rooted but the enemies could push you out of their way.

hey if we tangenting on ghostbusters, id suggest she take in the cartoon too, some episodes were more silly(and all the slimer spin off was), but some had some impressive treatments of older mythological monsters/spirits. their samhain was pretty nasty for a kids aimed cartoon.

For those who don't know, there was no PvP at launch.

Why would you hope for that?

I'll make a note to ask on the next dev chat.
Yellow recticles was my question; I actually asked in the context of the Atlas/Mercy revamps, and the response was there were no plans to use it for anything other than Praetoria (because of the four alignments all existing within Praetoria).

Though with the alliance-revolving-door that goes on in the Isles, it'd make sense. Ahwell.

Proprietary brain. Place in shred bin only.

That makes me really disappoint. Devs, you sure know how to go on a roll of cool and then do something stupid.

I also recall a pretty accurate Cthulhu one.

Tell me about. Most of my early posts "Back-in-the-Day" were about getting the Stance bit removed from Unyielding. Hard to imagine the flames I got for suggesting something that seems so natural now

Not that it got changed due to my campaigning though I think as soon as they started PvPing each other they realised it was a daft idea

This is a song about a super hero named Tony. Its called Tony's theme.

Case in point. I live in Eastern Europe yet I've been with City of Heroes since May of 2004 and I'm looking at the 72 month badge right now, soon to be looking at the 75 one, if Freedom doesn't launch before that.

Quite a few people still care.

I can understand for those who started *after* the release of the game... but unfortunately the game was not released until February 2005 in the EU.

Once again, those EU veterans who started from day 1 (EU side) get shafted (I am one of those who started at the very beginning, but i allowed my sub to slip a few times due to lack of money).

I guess that i am more annoyed over the fact that even if i had been subbing for the whole time frame, I still cannot get to Tier 9 status at launch of Freedom just because I am an EU player.

In fact the only EU players are those who started off on the US server, and then transferred their accounts over to EU side when the passport facility was open.

I guess that this is one of the problems of "splitting the community" at the start... especially as the game was only initially available *boxed* at the start (Note: In the UK, especially around the time that CoX launched, it was suprisingly easy to picked up box games for MMO's in most game stores)
