  1. Kudos for giving more than three weeks notice this time, that's fantastic. Sadly, I don't think I will make it even with three months notice...it's right after my mother will come to visit for a week, which is expensive enough as it is D: If only it had been another month out, I might have been able to swing it....oh well, maybe next year. I'll see ya'll at PAX!

    Cutscenes

    Yeah, have a button at the bottom and if everyone on the team clicks it, skip it! Also, have an option when starting a task force, trial, story arc, whatever, to automatically skip cut scenes. Or have a setting in Menu>Options to skip cutscenes, and if everyone's set to skip, skip them automatically; otherwise, supply a skip button.

    ...

    Female is a word of hatred? Not to me. I was in the military. Female was a term that kept us from being called 'girls'. Much more preferrable.
    Emphasis mine. Female is not a word of hatred. Apparently you didn't see the hoo-ha thread.

    I just want to point out that if you started using IOs - even just commons - at level 27, when you can slot level 30 enhancements, you wouldn't have to buy new sets of SOs at level 32 and level 37, which saves you a ton of inf because Level 30 commons are the same as even level SOs (like .2% difference), and they never degrade. Level 35 commons are essentially the same as +2 SOs, and level 40 commons are better than +3 SOs. (I am not 100% sure on these numbers because the wiki is on blackout but I am pretty sure.)

    Heck, pretty much any character of mine that is level 30+ is slotted with a mixture of 30/35/40 commons because they're essentially the same as SOs and never degrade. This has stopped the hurt on my pocketbook because I don't make a lot of inf (I don't play the market much, and I don't farm at all).

    It's dead. A similar bill died last congressional session. It's pretty darned unlikely it will be attempted again this year.
    Just to nitpick, it's not dead. It's shelved. If it were dead, it wouldn't be AT ALL like to be attempted EVER AGAIN. It's not dead. We have to remain aware.
  7. I wouldn't care about not having superpowers, and I would move away from Paragon City ASAP because that place is a poophole of crime. Someplace like Oklahoma sounds good. No supers, no ubermensch, no invading extradimensional critters...


    Maybe not Oklahoma, though, cos there's not much of ANYTHING in Oklahoma.....

    The only thing I can recommend for this is to have everyone get the missions if possible (obviously only the team leader can 'get' things like task forces, SSAs, etc.; and obviously only people within the correct level range and, with older hero content, the correct origin), which allows everyone to talk to the contact. Sadly, if there are any in-mission dialogues, only the mission owner gets that story bit, but everything else is pretty good when cooperatively completing story arcs.
  9. There may be some users who cannot follow the "where is Titan" link in our blackout page. It goes to a post within the Announcements subforum of the Titan Network main forums, which appears to be partially blocked. Oddly enough, the reporting user can see the rest of the Titan Network forums, EXCEPT the Announcements subforum. So if you get an error that says something about not having access, it's not you...it's something between your modem and Titan.

    Rest assured the post on the Titan forums is pretty much the same as the one here, if a little expanded because we're allowed to be political over there.
  10. Anon is....not pleased, to say the least.
  11. It's an american bill, but depending on the severity, it would have worldwide effects (especially since the main internet infrastructure is in the US), and also especially if other countries see the US as starting a new 'thing' to do.

Rather than just making the piece higher resolution, the designers felt the need to "improve" it in some way, which some people didn't consider an improvement. Or is this just the devs erring on the side of caution?

    I'm seriously curious here, because if the pattern in that first image were sharpened up but otherwise left the same, I see no reason to keep the original around.
    Exactly. If it's exactly the same other than being higher resolution, why have two copies? You'll just have people running around looking like pixellated crap because they didn't update to the new version. :/

    Yes, they do.
  14. I play blueside more than anything because I don't like how depressing redside looks (even though it has some of my favorite stories) and I don't like how fake Praetoria looks (even though it's supposed to )

    I have one of everything, but I don't really enjoy my one tank or my two stalkers. I have a tendency to favor support-capable characters but not exclusionary. I don't really have a preferred playstyle. However: all of my characters live in melee, even if they are not melee oriented. It's just easier that way. I don't have a preferred powerset or archetype or anything.

    I really, really, really like Croatoa and the updated Faultline. I have a feeling I'm going to really, really like the updated Dark Astoria, as long as John "Ambushman" Hegner didn't go crazy in it.

    I don't roleplay but I don't care if other people do. I play females almost exclusively, but mostly because I hate the way the males run and grunt. If they didn't run like a stick was up their butts, I might play more dudes. I play on all of the servers, but more heavily on Justice, Infinity, and Virtue.

    I had a rather large post written up but realized you're not worth the time.
  16. And as the OP mentions, the description of the story arc does not match the actual play of the story arc. A bug or oversight, to be sure.
  17. I have used [Shadowy Presence] on my dark/dark defender as a costume change emote. It blacks out your character model, surrounding you with a shadow blot.

    Every character using "Masks with Hair" or "Standard" heads have to update after that merge. Every character. Just sayin'.


    Chances are pretty darn good that all your stuff is there, you just need to reselect it. It's often as simple as hitting the reset button.

    Some here appear to be are mad because I call paying real money for a chance to get some of the items in the SP gambling, because it is. In all truth that appears to be their problem not mine.
    I will never pay real money for super packs (I haven't yet spent any real money on points - all of my purchases have been with my stipend), but I will end up getting some. Would you call that gambling, too? Since you seem to be really stuck on the 'real money' part of it.

    That was actually done via buffs. Take a look in your buff bar next time you do that mission. Ultimate Freem or whatever. Several awesomely named buffs.

    Beta. And before that, closed beta. And before that, pre-beta marketing. The only time you could possibly have people not ******** at the developers is before the developers ever announce they're working on something.
