Difficult to godmod something when there IS no canon.


And you still completely miss the entire point of that story, despite having it explained. It was absolutely no different whatsoever to the myriad of other Orob missions in the game, and the thousands of AE missions available. Your failure to understand the intent isn't any fault of mine.

I'm pretty certain that the Well being the single source of power only applies to Earth and heroes from there, in any of its realities. What about those who aren't from Earth at all? Plenty of those around, there's even some canonicly, too.

And as has been said time and time again. Just because a person is using the Incarnate system OOCly, doesn't mean they have to use it ICly in any way, shape or form if they don't want to. Hell, they might just be using the game mechanic to make their chars as strong as they've always been RP'd as.

I really don't see why certain people are having such a major spaz over what some other people want to do with their chars.

Since when has anything I've ever done with Ellie, godmodded anyone?

You're just making stuff up, now.

They don't, mate. Just ignore anyone telling you they have to be; they're not worth listening to. Only you get to decide how it works for your chars.

Dude, your characters are whatever YOU want them to be. Do the Incarnate arcs, or not. Use them ICly, or not. It's all good as long as you're having fun.

This. No matter what other people say, unless you're paying other people's subs, you get zero say in how they want to interpret Incarnates on their characters.

As long as people don't use the canon and then completely break what the devs have given us, I don't care HOW people do it. Just as long as everyone's having fun. Well, except people who don't like that. They can go boil their heads.

Honestly mate? That's totally NOT how she comes across when you play her. There've been plenty of times where she's made claims of being able to take pretty much anyone.

Then there's her Wolverine level regen, making her able to regenerate from pretty much ANY injury anyone cares to mention, right down to decapitation.

Not that there's a problem with ANY of that. There isn't, none whatsoever. Just pointing out that you DO do the same as everyone else.

No offence, but this was blatantly obvious before the servers were moved, and I really don't see what the problem is. It shouldn't be any more difficult than just updating the script to use the new server address and would take any competent developer no more than 10 minutes to fix and test! (Yes, I'm in the position to judge that; I'm a developer.)

Sorry Omy, but you really should have expected it. Whenever a new issue add a new mechanic to the game, people will use it in their RP and why shouldn't they? They ARE becoming more powerful, after all.

Now that i19 is in open beta, we can talk about how its implemented, story wise.

Last chance to skip to the previous page!










Basically, there are two types of incarnate. There are those who gain all the Well's power in one go, such as Statesman and Recluse. These types are "owned" by the power though, and are subject to its control. They essentially lose a measure of their free will.

Then there's the type we end up getting. The slowly slowly catchee monkey type. We tap into the well over a long period of time, through use of the Shards. These unlock the potential within us and grant almost the same level of power, but it takes much much longer AND we retain our free will.

So we will not be as powerful as the NPC incarnates. The mission you run at the start of the arc merely shows you a possible future where you likely took the fast route rather than the one you get pushed down.

It was a bit more explosive than that, but kinda, yeah. She was about 8 foot tall, heavily muscled and covered in razor sharp armour plates. Others generally described her as "scary", and she gave Gunwitch nightmares! :O Her initial transformation, though, held way too much power that her body wasn't ready for, so she went kaboom!

Good job is jolly hard to kill a Peacebringer without a Q-gun! She reformed and now is building back up to it. She's already transformed for a second time, during a sparring match with a superstrong tanker (Starborn), and went toe to toe with her. Technically, you COULD say she actually beat her, as she forced Star to trigger full rage and unstoppable, and STILL went toe to toe with her! She was still raring to go when Star powered down, though I'm more inclined to call it a stalemate.

Right now though, she's learning to control it better. Work out exactly when and why the change happens when it does, and what her capabilities are in that form.

As for method, I think we can all probably come up with great ways of explaining it for our chars. Science and tech is easy enough. Experimentation or gadgets giving extra abilities! Mutants can continue to mutate, naturals (if Batman type), can learn new skills or become better at what they do. The choices are limited only by our imagination, really.

You don't want to team with me... It would be embarassing (for whom, I'm not saying! )

You forgot one.

The guy who tries to be an armchair psychologist by attempting to (poorly) run social experiments on his fellow games crows how much better he is than everyone by being able to predict responses he'd receive for an asinine post.

Personally, I think that you're just backpedalling on a dumb post, but if you truly WERE running some kind of social experiment, well that's probably the biggest jerk thing you could do and places you firmly on my ignore list.

Sorry, I don't read gibberish, and quite frankly I couldn't give a flying monkey's rectum about your political axe to grind. This is not the real world here, this is the Paragon verse; where superheroes are an everyday occurance and any attempt at such a thing would be stopped by one of them immediately.

Leave your RL politics where they belong, in RL.


Don't care. As above, we're not in the real world. We're in Paragon City, in the USA. We play by rules set down by the game devs, and where no guidance is given, we work to AMERICAN law.


Irrelevant.

Well... In the evenings, i'm usually on my main level 50, in Galaxy City, roleplaying. How many level 50's do you know that are looking for an SG? I get a surprisingly large number of invites from people... And most have plenty of Vet badges, so really should know better!

That's because the commandline line, for the EU, should be.

But you still won't get your keybinds.

I had this problem for most of yesterday, and it was a routing issue for me. Sorted "itself" out by the evening. On the PC, you can run the main game EXE itself to bypass this, but that's probably not gonna work on OSX.
