1. What does this pattern signify and what number follows it?
62; 79; 110; 120; 119; 57; 222; 175; 154; 84; 123; 174; 196; 127; 82; 78; 225; 110; 106; 63; 63; 84; 77; 85; (blank)

2. Without cheating by looking up in-game, how many feet are in a mile? (remember all those times you were headed towards your objective and you saw the indicator change from showing miles to showing feet?)

3. What do all dominator secondary powersets have in common?

4. How many different kinds of grenades exist in the game?

5. Which powerset currently (today's date) contains more than the acceptable amount of "derp"?

6. What will City of Heroes be gone to, and who is to blame?

7. Why might Brutes be considered the hottest AT?

I'll try and come up with more questions later if these are too easy. Fight the urge to cheat!

Mine doesn't do that... it changes from miles to yards once you get within about half a mile of the destination.

Bah. It's always the fault of jerk hackers when things go to the Americans. I thought everybody knew that. I mean it's obvious right?

None. They just pop a yellow to boost their perception and keep scrapperlocking.

10.

One to screw in the lightbulb, and 9 to tell you how much faster their "screw in lightbulb" time is with Lore Pets.

Two.

The trick is getting them into the light bulb.


I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

Well, being serious, Q1 is the number of days between each issue and the next issue or sub-issue (issue x.5). Can't be bothered to figure out the next one in the sequence: how many days were there between Sept 13th or 27th and Dec 6th? 84 or 70, I think.

IIRC, the half-mile point occurs at 851 yards, which makes it 1702 yds to the mile, thus 5106 feet to a mile.

Other than the "9 powers" thing, I think they're unique to Doms.

I like the previous answer to the next question.

Derp is subjective, so no one can answer it correctly.

The Americans (often mistakenly written as "teh Americans"), and it's all the fault of the jerk hackers. Though we now know they will merely be reverse-jerk hacked, so it's not actually a problem.

So many fire-based powersets, it's unreal.

Are we talking American Miles, Roman Miles or the more correct English Miles or Miles Davis?

Why is that "silly"?

I'd like to know why it's an assumption, since 1 yards defined as 3 feet.

a mile is defined in the real world as 5,280 feet
in game it is not 5,280 feet

does the game provide a definition for a yard?
you cannot assume the real world definition applies in game

A yard - those things that go in front and in back of houses, which we do not have in-game. Unless you're in Neutropolis.

Correct. Game wise I assume 800 yards is supposed to represent a mile, which equates to 2,400 feet or .45 miles.

if you get close enough to your target does it switch to how many feet they are away?

80% of a Roman mile then.

Should the scale change in Cimerora?

In the game, base speed is measured in feet per second with a whole number with no decimal points (namely, exactly 21 fps). So, the foot is the basic measure in the game. So why are people so keen to guess or assume that 3 feet is not a yard and 5,280 feet is not a mile?

The terrain is not scaled 1:1 to character height which makes our movement outdoors seem faster than it should be in real life. But my guess is that the stats given in-game as applied to the terrain use the normal foot/yard/mile conversions.

Off to test...
