LaserJesus

Letters.

Sorry, on topic now.

Project 52-X got his name because he has no memories of his past. The only means of identifying himself is the barcode on the back of his neck that says 52-X underneath it.

Laser Jesus took his name from his actual name, Jesus Lacieras. (In reality I chose it as my name because in my SG we somehow got into a discussion about our names in real life and my SG leader bursted out "HIS NAME IS LASER JESUS!" and I decided I needed to have a character named that.)

What's with the ad hominem directed at people simply for playing Kheldians in this thread?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hating Kheldians is cool. We're like the new Blasters or PLers or Winter Lord generation.

I bet it's level 50 envy. Just like when people see our huge post counts and instantly get offensive.

Warriors missions dealing with Platonic Solids and
Pythagoreans, both mathematics references.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, its more then just Mathmatics references, its actual history. The Pythagoreans were an actual group. (Fun bonus. If you've seen Reign: The Conqueror by Peter Chung, then you also know of the Pythagoreans)

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes only in Reign: The Conqueror they were leet ninjas that could transform and looked like they belonged in an S&M bar, much as all of Chung's work ..

We really need more Kitten based evil in the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hear hear! What kind of world is it when adorable kittens can't hold up civilians with SMGs and rocket launchers? A world of kittens WITHOUT access to cute eyebeams of death?

It just isn't right..

What? Did someone say cute kitten eyebeams of death?

I feel uncomfortable when Positron uses words like "voyeur".

I knew there'd be a use for those Shurikens some day...

[/ QUOTE ]
Not to mention Web Grenade.

Yeah. Only a fool would think they can hover-snipe me.

[ QUOTE ]
I'd suggest that the 'spydrones' (I assume they look similar to the policedrones) at least make a noise so you can hopefully get a little warning when in close proximaty.

One problem I see with this plan Positron, scrappers and tankers won't be able to really hit a spydrone which is floating outside of melee range thus it creates an imbalance. Technically they could be followed around without being able to stop them.

*sharpens Shurikens and does squat thrusts to get his Super Jump in peak condition* Oh, sorry. Were you saying something about me not being able to hit cameras?

/em thumbsup

Now I'll finally be able to fit all my powers on the tray!

Shift+number for teammates good.

Ctrl+number for switching trays bad. My retarded fingers keep accidentally hitting that in the middle of a fight and switching it to tray 6 or something. DOWN WITH CTRL+NUMBER TO SWITCH TRAYS!

I've used photobucket for about 2 years now and I have NEVER encountered the bandwidth limits. Dunno, just a thought.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've seen the Photobucket Bandwidth Exceeded image a few times. Not sure how it can happen, but it's possible. (In much the same way a meteorite strike is possible, I suppose.)

[/ QUOTE ]
With all my screenshot posting and weird photoshopped images, I've exceeded the bandwidth limit many times.

Nyah nyah! I won't!!

From PC Gamer March 2005 pg. 18:

Paragon City-- Breaking news erupted in the City of Heroes universe today as the mighty champion Statesman (aka Jack Emmert, lead designer and co-founder of Cryptic Studios) made a startling announcement: Player-versus-Player (PvP) combat is coming this spring.

In the free downloadable update "Issue #4: The Arena", the city's heroes will be able to test their abilities against one another in specially built stadiums (seen currently under construction in "Issue #3"). Combatants will be able to face off against mano-a-mano or in super-teams of up to eight heroes. Battle zones will be instanced for the participants, and will be set up to replicate familiar environments such as city ruins and Atlas Park. A security level of 14 will be required for admittance.

Another astonishing revelation: The arena will also house themed conflicts that incorporate mission objectives and even bestow temporary powers onto those bold enough to enter.

Even the most seemingly mundane powers will be useful in PvP battle. For example, Statesman tells us that "taunting" another hero will force them to attack you... even against their will. Likewise, an opponent who becomes "confused" by a Controller-class hero will be unable to tell friend from foe.

The "Issue #4" update will also introduce amazing "body scaling" technology to Paragon City's protectors, allowing them to tweak the size of waists, arms, and cheekbones... among other body parts. And direct from NCsoft's arists in Korea comes new costume-design elements inspired by anime and manga.

But what about the rumored crafting and skill system? "I was so terrified that we'd produce something that wouldn't be right," says Statesman about the delay. "We designed a whole system and it just didn't cut the mustard. So it's my fault."

In happier news, Statesman is gazing towards City of Heroes' first anniversary this April. Though details are shrouded in secrecy, Paragon City's first superhero promises a huge celebration and special events to mark the occasion. --"Snapper" Chuck Osborn

And there you have it! Whew. A lot of typing. XD Anyway, it looks good and I can't wait for it!

We hear that the USA PCGamer got lots of nice information about Issue4 and I htink they mentioned some stuff about PvP and CoV. Something like a two page spread of screenies and details.

Any chance we can have some of that sweet lovin' passed to the devoted forum dwellers in the next few days please?

[/ QUOTE ]

I got the PC Gamer with that info in it today. =P It was pretty good. 2 screenshots and some SUPER juicy info. It was only one page though. =( Don't know if its ok for me to post what the article said so I didn't. But, it is very cool and I'm pumped about "Issue 4: The Arena" now.

[/ QUOTE ]
POST IT NOW!!!!!!!!

ZOMG STATESMAN WITH AN AVATAR! THE END DAYS ARE UPON US!

[ QUOTE ]

Pretty sure doesn't make you correct. This issue has been brought up before, Sik has checked this and there are ZERO issues with recreating a Moogle character.

[/ QUOTE ]
By the same vein, nothing happening yet doesn't make it okay. Does he know someone at Square Enix and has asked permission? If not, then how can he be certain of "ZERO issues"?

1. Scrappers are mammals.
2. Scrappers fight ALL the time.
3. The purpose of the scrapper is to flip out and kill people.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just had to point this out. NO scrapper has REAL ULTIMATE POWER, you should swallow a frisbee.

[/ QUOTE ]

/em flips out and kills you

[/ QUOTE ]

That's such a great website. Haven't been to it in awhile. www.realultimatepower.net still, correct?

[/ QUOTE ]
This is getting me so pumped that I have to post a screenshot of me wailing on a guitar!

[ QUOTE ]
Correct! Arucard from Hellsing, one of my favorite anime series of all time.

The name from the manga and anime is pronounced "Alucard," but the Japanese alphabet does not have an L (when translated). The letter R is the closest letter translation. Or so I'm told.

...wow, I couldn't be more off topic if I tried. Sorry.

[/ QUOTE ]
Peas.

Sorry, just remembered an old Statesman post and I figured I'd get the speculation train rolling.

Remember when he said this?

Now, I was ready to bet my soul that it would be 1. Arena and 2. Skills.

Now we know skills will NOT be in Update 4, so then, what was the other thing?

We totally need the dramatic pose where the villain points at the hero, like "You are doomed!"

Just as long as you don't take a page from Statesman's book and say "Soon" all the time.

Hi. I want to point you to this thread. Clintonian has done a great job of collecting everything we currently know about CoV in this thread.

I'd love to play a pulp game.

PROJECT 52-X AND THE COUNTESS OF DOOM!

It'd allow me to make a super-scientist character and fight crime in the name of SCIENCE!

Oh man, I love stuff like that. We need huge titles shooting across the screen and fights with crazy looking giant robots.

And everyone needs to get an airplane.
