Quote:Ouch, indeed.Originally Posted by Mr. NoPants
I think something else happened over the last few months that may have affected things. Something that chipped away at the only super hero MMO on the market.
Of course, that's my theory and is no more valid than "A magic bunny did it" with the non-mountains of proof at my disposal.

On a very schadenfreude level, I'm enjoying watching people going "Oh yes, my opinion was so right, it must have been what cost the company literally millions." What have we tagged so far? Architect Missions, Going Rogue not launching when some hoped it would, the last issues not having what some consider new content...
It's interesting. Obviously, there was a misstep somewhere along the way, but when we cross from theories into "Oh, I know why.", it starts to sound as silly as putting together three consonants because you don't know how to quote someone else in the middle of a sentence. -

It's a result that is probably explained by the lack of content releases in Q1 2010 and that players may have adopted a 'wait and see' approach about Going Rogue.
I'm not worried. Going Rogue should be great.

No I haven't - contacts have a positon to try and keep hold of - showing you that they were scared of you, meaning they were weaker than you, could cost them their position.
Edit: Question: What's your end game? To convince those discontent that they are unjustified in their beliefs? -

Well, maybe they're just nicer people?
Like it's not totally impossible that the ideals of truth, justice, pece and freedom just might attract a slightly different type of person than the ideals of murder, greed, selfishness and oppression
Trust, loyalty and friendship are going to be in short supply in a place like the Rogue Isles - when social advancement comes through "survival of the fittest", kindness is a sign of weakness and fear. -
Quote:And I won't. Not as much, anyway.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
So if the devs add more like that for all the level ranges, you won't need to talk to any of the old contacts who are mean to you.

Well played, Electro-Knight.

I love how everyone proclaiming something negative and cynical claims to be wearing garments spun of the finest Truth.
When the truth is that they're just oblivious to the irony of their own statements. -

Thanks for asking this question though! I'm glad you're an over-sensitive sillyhead that cared enough to start a thread to find out what the deal was!
No need to for disclaimers. I know who I am.Quote:(haha, just kidding... mostly!!)

Agreed. I thought "This is gonna be an easy warm up". By the end of it, I'd thrown out half of her Poker Face costumes. Not even gonna try for Telephone.Quote:EDIT: I was also amazed at how tough it was to DUPLICATE any Lady Ga Ga look in City of Heroes. Heck, at first glance, some of her outfits look like they were designed by hitting 'random' on in the CoH Character Creator...
Thinking of taking screenshots of some of her more reasonable things and bringing them to Jay and David... -

Lady Gaga is actually a man.

Quote:Yah, my character saved someone as handsome as him. Then the bank happened.Originally Posted by SpittingTrashcan
My character saved her clone. She's a massive narcissist, and it's not every day that you get an opportunity to make out with yourself.

Attempt number one is from Poker Face. I'm really disappointed with how many of Gaga's options aren't in the costume creator. That being said, here you go:
Here name is "The Famed Hero", and she's currently on Freedom. Level 8, Energy/Psy Blaster.
I got opinions on Twitter, and, like, 90% of people wanted her to be Sonic, 'cuz of the singing. I decided to go with generic Energy, though, because I wanted playing her to feel like one of her music videos. I get the impression she'd use something weird like random energy, because than you can call it anything you want.
... all of this is an exercise to help me practice my character creation, as my typical costume design stinks. -

Hmmm... Not in the current version. It needs your board username and password and stores it in plaintext, and that's seriously insecure. I don't mind it on my computer, but it'd be irresponsible to spread that around. I'll see if I can make it use the web browser cookies instead.

I like the logo. -

Of all the threads about rep this one has been the most informative. Even though I'm in the lolRep camp with Westley, it still has some uses. People have even said nice things about me in the comments, go figure!
That's style, and I raise my glass to that rogue.

'Kay, I cannot make her black latex outfit from the Poker Face video. The half-top doesn't exist in-game.
She wins round one. Round two is going to be the pool side blue number. -
Quote:I have 23, and since my first costume concept was a monocolored business suit, even acknowledging fashion related items is a waste of bandwith to me.Originally Posted by Melancton
I started playing in March, 2005. I noticed after logging in on my oldest hero for the 6th Anniversary badge that he had 81 free costume tokens.

Quote:Same here! My Repo Shadowcast (Zaddicts) and I were planning to do a parody video of Lady Gaga, because no one really liked her.Originally Posted by Schismatrix
(Gotta admit, her videos are catchy and flashy, and are entertaining to watch, even if R&B singers were making videos using similar visual aesthetics albout a decade ago, and goth/industrial/fetish artists had done it well before that.)
Then someone pulled up a music video of hers as a joke and for ideas.
Then they pulled up another.
And another...
About two hours later, we changed it from "parody" to "homage". I'll post it later, should anyone want.

That whole spider obession doesn't kinda clue you into the fact that the guy isn't quite right in the head?
You wanna tell me you're guy's any better adjusted? He's Stan Smith as an SS/Invuln Tanker!
(Oh, and real original making your mascot an American themed power house, by the way. Spent a reeeeeeeal long time thinkin' that one up, did ya? Like, 154 minutes? At least we mashed together Spider Man AND Doc Ock before we launched it.

Also, with a defaut vBulletin installation, reputation is supposed to be 5 dull pips and then indefinite bright pips. For some reason, our forum has this turned around.
In other words, we're going green by not. -

I'm not really seeing any "treating you like" dirt there - plenty of insanity and evil - but nothing that shows he thinks you're the lowest of the low - he even goes out of his way to mention your past victory over him.
And reading that text, I find the transition odd from "Even I fear you" to "Do this and I'll promise to give you a shout out in my victory speech". Like, I don't even get that.
