I'd do the same stuff that I do now

Outside of the valentines event, I'd say most of the CoH universe exists outside of healthy relationships. I can think of one couple that's got it together, and that's Matthew Habashy and his wife Diana. Everyone else has either no mention of relationships, interests, etc., or their relationships are messed up. The game really focuses on the heroic aspect of super-life rather than the mundane - something which the creators got right, IMO. -

I second this as well... I was seriously hoping to see I23 Live in Announcements, not this...

I could see Lex Luthor. He's fairly detached and manipulative when it comes to his GFs (from what I've seen).

Quote:That was also a key factor - although it was also one of the big problems Lucas had in getting it made - it seemed like it was such a totally left field idea for a movie at the point in time.Originally Posted by Fista
Let’s be honest. Star Wars is what it is due to a variety of factors not the least of which is the movie it's self. However I firmly believe that a year either way from its release date it wouldn't have had the impact it had/has. The U.S. (world?) was ready for something like Star Wars at that moment. It was the timing of it that put it over the top.
Again, a lot of that is down to the unique visuals - the Avengers doesn't give us anything visually new - it just gives us familar visuals in an awesome way - we've seen superheroes doing superheroic things in modern day environments plenty of times before.Quote:Avengers for as good as it is, and I would argue it's better then Star Wars, does not have the fortuitous timing of Star Wars and will not have any where near the cultural impact that the original Star Wars had.
For example, the Avengers is not actually that different from Daredevil - it's just better than it in every possible way. -

In terms of pop culture influence and creative impact, it would be more proper to compare Lucas and Star Wars with Stan Lee (plus Kirby and Ditko) and 60s Marvel Comics.

Plenty of players have insect themed costumes, so I think that this will get a lot of entries.

Quote:Also, while it's a great movie, the Avengers lacks new and unique visual signatures to help set it apart from other superhero movies - things like a man becoming angry and turning into a green monster are already out in pop culture as an iconic image that even non-comicbook fans are aware of, in the same way that people like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Spider-Man are iconic, regardless of how good movies about them are, or even if they feature in movies at all.Originally Posted by Lothic
Will Avengers spawn a pseudo-religious experience for millions of people like Star Wars has? Somehow I doubt it in the long run. But I will agree that as far as mega-popular franchises go it'll certainly be one of the biggest for the foreseeable future.
The first Star Wars movie introduced iconic visuals like lightsabers, the Death Star, Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, X-Wings, TIE fighters, R2 and 3PO, Star Destroyers - even Princess Leia's hairstyle.
Plus, it also had Lucas' "dirty" sci-fi look, and the weird blend of Westerns, samurai movies, and furuistic space settings, along with one of the best musical soundtracks ever written.
The whole impact of the style and feel of Star Wars on pop culture is way beyond anything the Avengers or any other superhero movie can create. -

It wouldn't be such a bad ship if it weren't for the implied narcissism. I mean. GG, wouldn't you find the egotism implied in say a GG/praetoria GG slash picture of fic a bit unsettling? That people are implying you would believe the only one attractive enough for you is yourself or some doppelganger?

Quote:It's one of the reward choices at the end of the new Summer Blockbuster event - play through the 2 "movies" successfully, and you can get it - but although you can play the movies as many times as you like, the enhancemnet reward is on a 20 hour cooldown.Originally Posted by frank4
How do we get this thing? Sign me up for as many trips through the hoops to get one set for nearly 50 toons I have.

Quote:What about version of Tips/Adamastor's summoning recipe? Like you'd get a Tip/recipe drop that told you thatm, say, a nearby jewelry store was being robbed - going to any jewelry store and activating the Tip/Recipe would spawn a costumed Villain and some hired thugs from the door, kinda like a Halloween ambush.Originally Posted by Traska
No, I mean specific bounty contacts. They only hand out bounties, and nothing else. So instead of being the annoyance that they are when they break the flow of missions, they're something you can do if you choose, and get good EXP and/or other rewards for completing them.

I don't see what the problem is with letting people know what an item does and doesn't do if it's not obvious?

Revamping all the old zone events to have invasion mob coding to match any level would be a start.

Quote:Leprechauns are Red Caps who haven't become twisted and evil - they've fled the spirit realm of Croatoa, and now latch on to powerful beings in the real world, following them around for protection, as the Red Caps hunt down any of their number who they regard as "traitors".Originally Posted by Sworn_Servant
And -- seriously -- if they sold an extra-dimensional imp pet, I'd be all over that, because, as you've proven, that is genre-appropriate.

They could add the current IO license as a rare Superpack drop
-
If they did ever decide to change it, they could make it so that we were "out of action" for 30-60 seconds, using that collapsed-to-your-knees emote they use for NPCs we defeat but don't knock out - rez/revive powers would still work normally, and the time penalty until we recovered on our own would just be there to replace the trip to and from the hospital/base and the 2 loading screens it uses.

As far as I know, Ghost Falcon is still twriling his moustache as business manager for CoH, deciding how much to punish players with prices in the market.
