What about the "other" unlockable costume pieces...no one has mentioned those yet.

The only thing that comes to mind is a chastity belt, but....

(Actually, I believe the young man is the original version, and later artists made him "safe" and/or part of the cherubim, much like other pagan figures were modified and assimilated.)

I'm all but positive you're right.

Am I missing some Roman holiday that would warrant a toga/tunic/dress? Or is it just because?

[/ QUOTE ]

Valentines day -> Cupid.


[/ QUOTE ]

Valentine's day: The martyrdom of St. Valentinus, a martyr within the city of Rome. (The romance stuff is purely medieval legend, though.) There's your toga for the Feast of the Martyrdom of St. Valentine.

[/ QUOTE ]
Since when have gamer forums had anything to do with reality?

Sheesh. As if.

[ QUOTE ]
Here is more info about the valentine’s day event if you so desire.

~Awry

I love this line: "Eros's Super Group (all styled after the Greek Pantheon)..."

[ QUOTE ]

Ok, I guess I never really associated togas with valentines day, but whatever, it's cool!

Now, can you wear the "skirt" part with a different top or the top with a different bottom?

[/ QUOTE ]

Eros = erotic.

The toga was a one piece item on my female. I don't know if it's the same on males.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's a shirt/jacket/robe category item. It shows up after "Armored" called "Unique Tops" or somesuch like that.

This is very cool.

But I have to ask... Why?

Am I missing some Roman holiday that would warrant a toga/tunic/dress? Or is it just because?

[/ QUOTE ]

Valentines day -> Cupid.

Cupid - > Roman name for Eros.

Eros - > Greek godling of Love (son of Aphrodite/Venus).

Cupid is sometimes depicted as a youth in a toga with bow and arrow, not always as a flying cherub.

I never consciously put two-and-two together with Togas and V-Day, but something just sorta clicked when I read about them as an unlock.

Time to make a Broadsword/Regen scrapper with a toga.

His Battlecry? THIRTEEN!



[/ QUOTE ]

Wouldn't that mean his battlecry should be 'XIII'?

I likes the Toga.

[ QUOTE ]
Oh.
Cool.

Artemis X has been wanting a toga....

Can new characters get it?

[/ QUOTE ]
In theory. My "newbie" heroes have the slot unlocked, one of which I made just a bit ago. With an inf transfer, shouldn't be an issue.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
hehehe, you picked the ugliest toga they had

[/ QUOTE ]

That was the only toga they had.

At least for the Hero side that I saw.

[/ QUOTE ]

So it's also the best looking toga they had.

[ QUOTE ]
Never had too much trouble with Blood Widows. Night Widows on the other hand... pretty sure it's Night Widows that pop smoke. Hate that.

[/ QUOTE ]
Echo that. Never had anything vaguely resembling a problem on lowest or highest difficulty setting. Is there some BW boss I'm missin?

[ QUOTE ]
where did u guys find elec armor

[/ QUOTE ]

You have to click on the "expand article" near the bottom and will show you more, inclding the new powers.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was about to ask the same question. Thanks.

Hey Venture, read some DC comics. If you can make any sense of them, nevermind, you can't. That's why they keep coming up with more Crisis storylines. Seems people make mistakes. Maybe revisions is a better word for comics, but whatever. Happens.

I read comics until, um, just before Zero Hour. I've only peeked at them since.

Professional work should be...wait for it...professional. Inconsistencies like this aren't supposed to happen, and when they do it is fair to criticise them.

[/ QUOTE ]

The point is, you don't have to be rude. I have never seen a Developer being rude to us. There are more tactful ways of expressing your opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]

My patheticaly humble opinion? Arctic read what didn't fit in the story and has stated he's adressing it. Sorry, but I'm commending him. That's more than some people have done in the past. Yes, commending. Admitting mistakes isn't the easiest thing to do. Ask the government.

[/ QUOTE ]
Exactly. Someone makes a mistake, they own up to it, they work on making it right, people should just leave them alone. We're not talking heart surgery here. Continuing to hound someone after an honest mistake has been made and spoken up about is rude.

[ QUOTE ]
Why would it be Defense based? Sheilds are all about THEM getting hit instead of YOU. It should be Resist based.

[/ QUOTE ]
Parry from the BS set adds to defense.

Blocking with a shield is, effectively, parrying.

[ QUOTE ]
Neither are in I7 (fyi)...BUT Geko and I have talked a little about Shields. We're thinking that Shields would be a Primary AND a Secondary Power Set for Tankers - and a Primary Set for Scrappers...but this thinking might change. I'd imagine the set is mostly about Defense, but again, nothing has been designed yet.

[ QUOTE ]
CoV love too please!
CoH has a wider diversity in powerset combinations than CoV already.

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

Shaddup, you! CoV is already getting 40-50 content in I7... including Ancillary Pools...don't complain about a lack of powers in CoV yet. That's for I8

[/ QUOTE ]

Pfft. Ancillary pools, raising the cap to 50 and adding 40-50 content for CoV just brings it up to even with CoH....kinda.

[ QUOTE ]
To be honest, almost all of these things have been in development WAY before New Year's. We started working on the Defense change back in October. But we really needed to test things and make sure our solution actually worked. That's pretty much the way of things.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ya'll are rockin'. Don't let the nay-sayers convince you otherwise.

[ QUOTE ]
First...I confirm that we're working on right now (as in pohsyb in the next room) to add CoV costume parts into CoH if you own both games....

Then we repeal the hated stealth nerf. The reason why: many well reasoned posts. It's that simple. You guys pointed out the problems.

AND now...we're changing the way Archvillains spawn. A ton of forum goers disliked adding so many AV's into missions a while back...so we've come up with a solution. If the team size and mission difficulty are ABOVE a certain level, an Archvillain spawns. Below that, players will face only an Elite Boss. If the mission is set on the first two levels of difficulty, it takes 4 heroes or more to spawn an Arch Villain. On the third level, 3 heroes or more. On the fourth level, 2 heroes. On the highest (Invincible), a solo hero will spawn an AV. Note this works in BOTH City of Heroes and Villains.

In order to incentivize larger teams, Positron is going to add a bonus to AV rewards!

Groovy stuffz in there.

Ok, if you say so, Pal. This really isn't the place.

Although as addicts they have an illness, it is hard to feel sympathetic to a rampaging, green-skinned, muscle-bound junkie.

Addiction is not an illness, it's a choice.

Really? Explain that to an infant born with a cocaine addiction because their mother was a crack addict.

[ QUOTE ]
Does that help?

[/ QUOTE ]
Immensely, thanks.

Length? Format? Style? For example, writing a story for a novel I'd handle differently than writing one for a comic format.
