Your view on the rules making wrong things right REALLY is obscure, its a good job not many people share it or the world would be a [censored] up place.

[/ QUOTE ]Laws and rules represent what the society has chosen to allow. Therefore, as long as someone acts by them, I have no right to demand that they be punished for it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Common Law (at least in the UK) does not work like this. It is highly changeable due to the system of precedence. Thus someone may bring a lawsuit against someone who has protection due to precendence under common law and win, overturning that precendence. However, we are of course not dealing with a legal system. So you are right that in this situation the thief did not break any in game rules so can not be punished. I agree this does not condone his actions. Maybe a call for reform of the code of conduct is in order? Perhaps a discussion on this would be interesting and flame-free. How could a change in code of conduct be implemented that would (a) provide adequate protection for the normal user (b) provide adequate freedoms for the normal user (c) be enforceable by the GMs?

I had wondered something similar. Partly because the devs and community reps people have not been phased by the upcoming competition, and that seemed weird to me when using a 5yr old engine. However, i haven't expressed this before because I wasn't sure whether NCNC would actually be able to impliment a new engine or not, since i know nowt bout computers.

The description of scrapperlock is most accurate too

Need to get my Axe/SR brute some levels for this. Choppy Choppy! Thankfully its several months away!

Going to provide my favourite seven from both combined, since most of the powers below are in both.

1. Quick Recovery. No explanation necessary here, does exactly what it says on the tin.

2. Lightning Rod. I <3 my big red rod. so shiny. so powerful.

3. Foot stomp. AoE awesome.

4. Flashfire. An always handy aoe stun, slot it up and watch it rock!

5. Mind Link. A new fave, expensive to slot if you want it perma, but a v powerful buff.

6. Poison gas trap (from the trap set not poison set). Made for procs, yum.

7. And finally...Focus. Spammable, fast activating decent ranged dmg with a knockdown too boot. Love it.

Yep, that certainly was my intention. And having had a brief glimpse of the halloween event, I need to get this badboy some levels so I can be chopping down some undead!

Good fun last night people! Churning through the missions. Will be even better when most of us have leadership running too!

See you 8pm thursday!

I've just made myself an axe/sr. gotten him to 11 and he is great fun. Endurance is heavy, but is fine if i only run one toggle, and to be honest there is so much mitigation in the primary that it hasnt been much of an issue. Looking forward to slotting some DOs tho!

A couple of you listen to some odd music while gaming. The Hamster dance whilst PvPing?? Badger Badger Badger?

Weirdos

Keep em coming!

Hey guys, sorry necro a slightly old thread, but I was wondering what secondaries ppl thought went best with Earth? Ideally I would like the flexibility of being able to both solo and team effectively. Any thoughts, opinions etc appreciated.

I believe their leadership buffs do effect other thugs pets, so the benefit only really occurs when you are teamed with other thugs for lovely stacking.

Hey Kitty,

The FFG is (if i remember correctly) both positional and typed. I think it's base defence is 10% def to all. Therefore the scorpian shield will stack with the typed defence. I think this is right!

Hope you are well, maybe see you ingame sometime?

Ara

Yep I'll be there. I'll try and get a couple of levels tonight as I think I'm lagging behind.

/Poison is a much underestimated set. It has got some of the most powerful single target debuffs in the game. Thugs in fact is the best primary for poison too, the bruiser is perfect for the tier9 poision power. If you want something a little different I would try this. Its AoE crowd control isn't brilliant, but then I've always found that that my MMs have less trouble with groups and more trouble with hard hitting enemies, the kind of enemies /poison excels at. Its not an easy ride though, but poison has the potential to kick bum.

Driving home last night, a song come on that always, instantly, makes me think of City of Heroes. The song is The Bravery's An Honest Mistake, and it reminds me of CoH as i used to play the album alot when I first got CoH, and pretty much never listened to it elsewhere. The memories it invokes are not of specific events as such, it just reminds me of my first proper character (now gathering alot of dust, so unplayed as it is). More than that though, the song actually reminds me of the feelings i used to get that made me so hooked on this game, the feeling when everything was new, shiny, never before seen and pretty confusing. I haven't had that feeling in CoH for a long long time (which is a massive shame, and its partly why i play alot of other mmo's temporarily - to get that feeling of "Woah! What the hell am I doing?!") but that song always invokes to a lesser extent that feeling when the game was so new to me.

In more recent times, Vampire Weekend's debut album and The Presets' Apocalypto both remind me of my recent evening escapades in the Rogue Isles. How about you? Do any of you have any songs/albums/lyrics that remind you of City of Heroes/Villains or that you associate with the game. The more bizarre associations the better!

Take care all

- You know that thing where the devs make some tweak to the costume editor or a costume piece, and the next time I go to the tailor the costume my character already has on includes for mysterious reasons about 50000 inf worth of changes I haven't actually made, or possibly *don't even exist* since the costume looks just as it always did, but it still costs 50000 inf + tailor fee to do nothing at all? Yeah that thing. I would like it to stop doing that please.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, this. I'm sick of having a costume, wanting to tweak it, and finding that 3 or more items have already been changed and I have to pay for those changes! Also, if I make a bald character (and I have several), please don't assume that I am mistaken and actually want him to have hair everytime i go to a tailor or go into the sg colours screen. Similarly, don't make my kilt disappear in this screen. I don't think you can actually select the kilt in the sg colour screen which makes changing the colours in sg mode impossible. And while I'm ranting about costumes and sg screens, when the sg colours are changed by the sg leader, please can you not have it so that all those that are in sg mode but not in sg colours are suddenly made to wear the sg colours. Oh and reorder certain costume pieces like shoulders ad belts, either alphabetise or in themes, not just in age order please.

As Castle posts in one of his replies:

No real need for much Doomsaying over this whole thing -- as I said, it's going to be kicked around a lot before anything happens. The overall goal is to make Dominators more attractive to play, across the board.


[/ QUOTE ]

An as spirit points out, Castle in another post indicates that they will not necessarily be removing the possibility of permadom, just changing how it works. None of this is set in stone. Wait til they have formulated proper plans, test em, and then cry doom if it really is doom.

Curious, can't say I've had the same experiences. Perhaps we can help? What level is your character? How many accuracy enhancements do you have in you powers, and what type of enhancement? Are there any particular enemies that you miss alot against? What difficulty do you play on?

Edit: I can also say that it is not an attempt to prolong the game. NCSoft has, in the past 6 months, made accuracy in lower levels higher and "smoothed" the exp curve making it quicker to level up.

got to around 12-14. (With Jay still at 33 )
I've got you all friended so if you log on i'll just chuck u an invite and we can rendezvous from there.

I agree shields are v important. So get them asap. I will be getting my FFG at the earliest oppurtunity to stack even more def.
Also, who's free tomoro at 4? More corrupting then?

I like green...and i like..erm animals...and erm green animals?

Ah mate, hope you can get back on.

Just logging on, look out for Jaw Shocker

I may be a tad late. Defo be there by 8.15 tho, was late getting back from work so only just stuck some food on! See u in a bit guys!

And don't forget, the costume creator has given us plenty of knights and witches and Egyptian priests and priestesses running around in a modern city - they must have gotten here somehow - it'd be nice forn them to visit home again

Awww, fantasy creatures getting homesick? - theres no place like Gnome.

I thought Issue 12 taught us there was no place like Rome?

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually Golden Girl, If you recall your history you'd remember It goes way back to Issue 2 when the Circle of Thorns taught us that in fact; "Theres no place like Tome"

Argh! too many puns!!
