    Alter Egos

    Only if they wanted to mention two of my characters. I have my main character, who runs a big SG and whose name is also my forum name. This is the character I play the most and that people identify me with - and he looks nothing like me.

    Later on, I decided to make a character with some resemblance to me. Accordingly, I gave him the mustache and beard I have. I think it's called Gunslinger in the costume designer. But I don't play this guy as much and he's not in one of the SG's that I run.
  2. Yeah, but if you can get an AoE immob, then you can have the best of both worlds. You can immob the crowd to keep them from fleeing. Or, if they're handing you a beat down, you can use Burn to MAKE them flee. I have a fire/fire brute with the AoE immob from Mace Mastery (Black Scorpion).

    Oh, I dunno. This doesn't seem rigorous. I think your defeat total needs to hit 5 digits.

    If you're asking, objectively: Is this possible? Yes.
    If you want opinion: Is this a reasonable combination that won't make the character suck? Yes.

    Is it "good"? I dunno. If it's fun for you, then it's good. If you want a gun and high damage, you probably want a blaster with the primary set Assault Rifle. You also need to pick a secondary power set. Devices is a popular choice to portray heroes who use weapons. As for the teleportation, anyone can get that.

    Same here. Except their names all started with Mini (Mini Manticore, Mini Sister Psyche, etc). As you might expect, they were all very very short.
  6. Which still doesn't explain why it hits the Hollows every single time and no other zones. Every day that I've been on, I have seen zero supernatural activity in other zones. I saw 4 in the Hollows yesterday, 3 the day before.

    No, the midnight and 6AM ones are only 6 hours apart. Therefore - reduced merits. Oh, and the 6AM one is only 15 hours after the 3PM one, so merits are reduced even further.

    Actually, the 6AM one is APPROXIMATELY 18 hours after the noon one. Depending on whether the completion is under or over the 18 hour mark, the merits might be reduced even further.

    I know. Like the X-Men would never have Magneto or Rogue... oh, wait.
  9. But you'd think it would still be random. It's not. It's hitting the Hollows every single time. They got a bug somewhere.

    Credit where credit is due. This line was posted 4 days ago and he or she hasn't posted in here again. That's such a rare event I actually took notice.
  12. To be precise, you don't just talk to him - you have to BUY the badge with candy canes. I believe it costs 25.

    like having 2 people with the same name in broadcast saying stuff you have no idea who is who and who you are talking too or how about a whole sg with all the same name!!!
    This. No matter how well thought-out the system is, some people will be confused and it will cause problems.

  15. I saw the Hollows get two in a row last night. Someone on the team said he thought it had been 3 in a row. We saw ZERO other supernatural events. This was on Infinity.

    We're not denying it. We're just saying that it's not 'gold farmers'. Do you even know what a gold farmer is?

    1) DA has a giant monster.
    2) I've seen it without the fog. One patch (over a year ago) 'broke' the fog and eliminated it completely. It was weird being able to see stuff.
  18. Isn't it 3 miles? I know they used to always say 15,000 feet. Has that changed?

    Next tank?

    I figured that over 4-1/2 years in the game made me overdue for rolling up a catgirl.
  20. OMG! I SHOULD MAKE A TOON NAMED Mr. Shouty WHO TALKS IN ALL CAPS!


    Edit: Wow! That was such a great name idea, I logged in and the name was available! I just made a sonic/sonic defender named Mr. Shouty.

    thankx for your reply however...i guess..
    Get over yourself. It *IS* one of the weaker armor sets.
    Still, you ran into a pack of jerks in-game. Just because it's weaker than some other sets doesn't make it useless or gimped. I've taken fire armor to level 50.

    Anyone more knowledgeable than you, who doesn't conceal their knowledge, is a "geek speaker"?

    Well, I don't see anything technically wrong with the idea (or the dozen other times people have suggested it).

    However, I, and many others, HATE it. I truly think it sucks and would not want this idea put into the game.

    Well, this is very subjective.
    Personally, if I got kicked like that, I would have made use of the Player Note function to avoid that leader in the future.
