Quote:Before they extended the maximum level to 50, 40 was the max level, so then 20 was the midway.Originally Posted by Lucky666
They should lower the cape mission to level 14 when you know you can actually start flying. Where did they come up with level 20 for the cape unlock there is no rhyme or reason other then some random number out of a hat that I can tell. -
I've just noticed that there is a leather option in Warrior boots (but only the plain version), but there isn't the same option in Warrior gloves.

Quote:Or they're friends with Rikti.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Myabe they invented it themselves? The new versions of the Praetorians seem to be more advanced and techy than the versions we have now.
Or, in proper mirror style, Tyrant launced an attack on the Rikti, and stole the tech

Quote:I don't think that he used psychic powers, just because you need a mind/brain to use it. And robots don't have it. But he could use spells, because they are like more like an structured program: move your hand this way, say these words, and "voilá, fireball incoming".Originally Posted by Sevenpenny
Actually in regards to Tin Mage.....he does mention that he was nicknamed that robot wizard.....I believe that he would have had Psychic Blast and Mental Manipulation from the Blaster set and perhaps either Cold or Force Mastery as his Ancillary Power. Thats just my opinion though.

Quote:Yeah, that's why I not just discarded it right away. If it's the first one, then it has been written in an odd way:Originally Posted by M_I_Abrahms
Well, if what I'm thinking is right, and that bit of poetry is supposed to be the source of the family's super powers, then the first one may be right.
"y nos incendiemos,
con el espiritu del fuego. "
'incendiemos' (actually 'incendiamos', it's been written in the wrong tense) would be better replaced with 'prendemos' (a more poetic and accurate word for that meaning)
PD: Spanish is very rich, complex, and difficult to master if it's not your native language. And much more if you want to make poetry. -
Cantu's letter (btw, 1st time I see that ¿latino? family name) need fixes:
Quote:"Our hearts burn"Nuestros corrazones arden,
'Corazones' is with only 1 'r': "Nuestros corazones arden"
Doesn't make many sense: "With the fire on the sky". Maybe "With the fire of the sky" (The Sun). "Con el fuego del cielo"Quote:Con el fuego en el cielo.
"We dance in the 'flammas'"Quote:Bailamos en las flammas,
"flammas" isn't a Spanish word. ¿Flames? The the word would be "llamas".
Well, that's hard. It would mean 2 things:Quote:y nos incendiemos,
con el espiritu del fuego.
"and we catch fire,
with the spirit of the fire"
Meaning they use the power of an actual spirit to ignite themselves. This sounds weird to me.
Or,
"we burn,
with the temper of the fire"
Meaning they are full of passion.
My guess is the last one and:
would sound better to a Spanish ear.Quote:"y ardemos,
con la pasión del fuego"

Quote:I bet "< 10"Originally Posted by SinergyX_EU
Just got a reply from support on this:
The 60 + month game time needed for the tier one Going Rogue Beta Access is
calculated the same way for EU and US City of Heroes game accounts. Also, game time
can not be transferred between separate game accounts.
So how many 60+ EU players we have? And still active? -

Quote:What we do with Nictus then? They are alien, but altered through Kheldian science.Originally Posted by Anti_Proton
This all over. I still want to push for a new Origin: Alien -You world is so strange that the abilities of your race seem superhuman here.
Still general enough to be spun anyway you want, but different enough to differenciate characters like Kheldians from "Earth-bound" Natural heroes. -

Why does everyone always put their suggestions in packs? Why does everything have to be n Booster Packs? I like your suggestion, but why not suggest it for addition to the base game?

Quote:Yeah, 12:00 GMT I think.Originally Posted by Carnifax
Well it's during maintenance so around 12 tomorrow is it? I agree with you though Rabbit. All this "Pacific Time" only is really annoying, especially at the moment with Daylight Savings changing over the last few weeks.
So does that mean we're counted as loyal in terms of Closed Beta regardless of whether we cancelled our accounts during this month but still have a week or two left to run on the sub? -
Quote:Could you at least merge all the prestige sprints into one power (Prestige Sprint), then put all the current FX as customisation of the power?Originally Posted by BackAlleyBrawler
That's my point. We don't have any travel powers with multiple animations, be it in a single power or multiple powers. All of the prestige sprints have different visual effects, but use the same animations.
I think some of you guys are making the assumption that because we can have different visual effects for travel powers, and other powers can have both different VFX and different animations, that travel powers could also have different animations...but that's not the case.
Movement modes are not the same as powers.
And could you change the sprint animation to look more like sprint:
Instead of the current jogging:
Please??

Quote:Well, Positron is tagged technology, but his powers are actually mutant. He emits radiation by himself, but his powersuit amplifies and canalizes it.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I can't say I agree with you completely on where the border between science and technology lies. I don't want to discuss existing characters, but let me put it like this - just the ability to remove the tech piece is not enough to serve as a distinction. Cybernetics are an extreme example, granted, but something as simple as an arm cannon sewn into your hand would still be Technology, because you're using technology to shoot things. Science, at least as presented in the game, is more genetic engineering, enforced mutations and so on. When you start grafting machines to the body, you're slipping into the realm of Technology.
And, of course, as with most origins-related discussions, this is just my opinion.
I think Tech and Natural origins are very ambiguous and wide range in this game. -
Quote:Actually, the blond hair thing is only a Sayan thing (and only few of them can do it). They can also change to a giant monkey by staring at the moon (or something that emulates it). Those are a natural abilities of that race, like Kryptonian's powers from the yellow-suns light.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
To move farther away from reality, humans have an innate energy called chi. If they learn to control it and train their bodies, they can use their chi to shield themselves and put more force in their strikes. And, apparently, if they train hard enough, they can fly, shoot beams of energy and turn their hair blond. That, as well, is very much natural.

Quote:Romulus Sword:Originally Posted by Scarlet Shocker
What part of "No" are you failing to understand here?
Nictus Romulus Sword:
They can put auras into weapons, but we can't change them. They are baked into the model I think.
I don't know if they can make the auras tintable adding 2 arrays of colors: one to the weapon, the other for the aura. We have that for capes, but maybe can't be done with weapons.
With that I mean, maybe they don't want to do it because that means a combination of ALL weapons with ALL auras, and make the auras tintable too. Maybe is doable but means a lot of work they can't manage now, or the database will be full of copies of the same object with auras.
Also, if they do that, people will ask for "shoulder pieces with auras", "headpieces with auras", etc. -

Quote:Ultraman? (that would be the inspiration of the original tyrant, I think)Originally Posted by Iannis
He might've adopted the title to amuse himself. He has a Tyrant's absolute control. If ol' Tyrant is being retconned away from being the original Lord Recluse and into a benevolent dictator who rules with an iron fist because he realized humanity is too petty, stupid, and warlike to not be Destined for self-annihilation unless the strongest super took unequivocal charge and began commanding instead of debating and compromising and fighting over control...
actually I think Superman did that too in what if's. Didn't he have a cooler authoritarian name when he did?
Here we can see that we have 3 carbon copies of Superman:
Reichsman -> Overman (Earth-10)
Tyrant -> Ultraman (Earth-3) [that would change with GR]
Statesman -> Superman (Earth-1) -
Quote:Not necessarily. You can kill everybody on Earth and then proclaim you are the best hero: there's no more crime, nor illness, nor hunger... Well, nor life. But hey! you can't be on every detail.Originally Posted by UnSub
Tyrant is actually the greatest hero in existence since he has pretty much eradicated crime and created a society that provides for all.

I think the problem is that we're so used to the next situation:
Studio A makes a poor game, but it has pretty graphics. Then they hype it, showing how pretty the game is, and saying how it would be the best game in history.
Then they release it. People try it. See pretty graphics, but that's all. Hundreds of games like this. 0 innovation but the graphics. Sagas that the only innovation is "now you can crawl!!" + better graphics.
That makes people reluctant when they show a game by their graphics. That's what's happening now. -
Quote:Not sure about other countries but neither "Oriental" nor "Asian" are offensive here at Spain. They're both used (although "Oriental" is more commonly-used). However, sometimes "Chinese" is misused, with bad connotations, to refer all Orientals.Originally Posted by Novastorm
[...]
Usage Note: Asian is now strongly preferred in place of Oriental for persons native to Asia or descended from an Asian people. The usual objection to Oriental—meaning "eastern"—is that it identifies Asian countries and peoples in terms of their location relative to Europe. However, this objection is not generally made of other Eurocentric terms such as Near and Middle Eastern. The real problem with Oriental is more likely its connotations stemming from an earlier era when Europeans viewed the regions east of the Mediterranean as exotic lands full of romance and intrigue, the home of despotic empires and inscrutable customs. At the least these associations can give Oriental a dated feel, and as a noun in contemporary contexts (as in the first Oriental to be elected from the district) it is now widely taken to be offensive. However, Oriental should not be thought of as an ethnic slur to be avoided in all situations. As with Asiatic, its use other than as an ethnonym, in phrases such as Oriental cuisine or Oriental medicine, is not usually considered objectionable.
