Nope. It was always pie. Cookies were instantly diminished by Ulli when he appeared, so pie is the only thing that endures. And there isnt another pie server that I know of. Bacon is just a passing fad.

And to be honest, Guardian is the Badge Server. With a history of the top badgers in the game.

But one cannot eat Badges.

(waits for pic of a Cookie shaped like a Policeman's Badge)

New? Nay. All Guardian all the time. Bacon is just a recent affectation that I blame for teen mortality and global warming... er climate change... er fooling people in order to keep their own high paying yet unnecessary jobs.

(Whupsies. Did I just dis a few Nobel Laureates for junk science? Hmmm, I guess I did)

This.

I've made the same counter-suggestion many times myself. Make a couple of /chair emotes, and this becomes a negligible 'need'. And you could add a /chairspin or /chairlean emotes for Slope's 'special' kids.

And problem with that idea is Attacks/Damage Output of the individual Henchman compared to the MM Type (Thugs, Bot, etc.) Attacks/Damage Output if you want to retain the illusion of actually MMing another Group's MOB. SCR for the Devs coding all of the possible combinations. Otherwise we would possibly get one or two 'uber' sets of Henchmen being used (and thus a lot of wasted Dev time coding the other combos).

As far as the OP: I would find simply being able to 'color' my Thugs, Ninjas, Bots a la CC acceptable, and of course keep the same Henchies each time they are Summoned for the Thug and Merc Sets.

Actually not meant to be condescending, but since the Seattle-based coffee house gained such popularity it has become a standard to throw value in terms of probably the most axiomatic price point: caffeinated dairy drinks. So what about the rest of my comment?

Dunno why you would be disgusted other than being pricked in the Economics Conscience. Of course, the price differential is probably why... Which in any business model would be a tough call. What price early adoption? That is up to the individual. If one wants some of the goodies early (and we estimate the earliness at 5 months); then the price to have access to that which is not ingame yet and using your numbers crunching is $3 per month. Drop the Mocha Vente-ccino one day a month, and you're gold, Angel. Besides, the caloric reduction is always welcome to any health conscious being of the galaxy.

Again, "what price early adoption?" It is not disgusting; it is an equitable trade-off.

Which is another good reason NOT to even look at DCUO IMNTBHO. CoH started out and remains casual player friendly, and though there are some decent (read: mature) PvPers; they dont seem to be the norm. I have spoken at length with veteran MMO PVPers to get a handle on the whole mindset, and that seemed to be the consensus of some pretty decent folk who also happen to be PvP monsters. I even went into PvP with them when they asked, but never really enjoyed it.

Worldwide/Global/Whatever PvP in CoH would just either make me even stealthier (teaming even less than I do now) or just fold up my account.

Now, if there was a Flag System in place, and if you were being annoyed by someone to PvP constantly, AND you could then tag them with an instant MapServer... that might be a slight amelioration for all the hassle. Not gonna happen, but it would be nice. And everyone has heard the stories of PvPers spamming someone with PMs and Broadcast insults to try and goad them into setting their Flag for PvP in those other games. Heck, it happens in the PvP Zones here; when someone is just running about in the Zone not wanting to PvP and the PvPers keep Broadcasting trash talk to get them to "stand still and fight".

No need to mention any ranger here.

There is a reason things die: it is their time.

I've seen this kind of idea multiple times, and it still falls flat for the most part. Use of this functionality would be next to nil. There are many players who enjoy Souvenir collecting as much as Badgers love badging, but there isnt a room or gallery in a base to show one's collection of badges either. A single scrollable page; yes, but no need to waste disk space on the data to make a gallery one could stroll through.

Secondarily, the Player Badge Info page/tab is useful for only one thing to me. That is to gauge a player's apparent Ability (how they are acting ingame) to Time Played (Vet Reward badges). It's not perfect, but it can be interesting to see that the newb I am presently adventuring with is actually more of a n00b, or conversely that the n00b that is irritating me is actually a newb which allows me to drop my annoyance level to that of background radiation and be a little more vocal in helping said player. I dont know that even being able to access the Souvenirs would do that for me.

In any event, Souvenirs are pretty static (every player can either have them or not as they choose) so I couldnt back any idea that treated them any differently than that of the Badges. A page: yes; a building: no. IMO anything more is just gilding the narcissistic lily.

Neither, nor; either, or. Outside of the RP Servers/Groups; no, Bases arent much of a priority to many players aside from the 'point-to-point travel'. So, not a lot of interest in making a little used (by the majority IMO from) aspect of the game 'more immersive' or whatever. While this may spur new interest in Bases by giving them more of a purpose; I dont think that many have a very strong opinion either way.

Just my opinion, but then I used to enjoy mucking about with my Base, but nowadays; not so much.

I LOL'd!

FYI, Epic Archetype means they have or are based upon a storyline, or an 'Epic'. The use of the term 'Epic' to mean 'uber' or 'amazing' is only a fairly recent (30 years or so) linguistic convention. I think it has it's base in colloquial Surfer-English.

As a great man once said; "I don't feel tardy".

And sadly, Mornediel's attitude is rather elitist, and based fallaciously on the notion that the EAT's are uber ATs. Probably the initial reason for making them unlockable at 50 was a combination of reaching level 50 in combination with opening a new storyline other than the standard Paragon City story since a level 50 would have had the opportunity (slight though it may have been) to experience the whole story of a Hero in Paragon City.

Vet Rewards are different from Level Rewards, and the Devs stated long ago that "making an Epic Archetype unlock at level 50 was a bad idea". But I just repeat what others have already said... for emphasis.

Are you talking about scrolling with a Wheel on your mouse? Or something different. When I scroll (using the mouse wheel) my Logitech G-5 does so incrementally (one line at a time)and I can feel that in the turn of the mouse wheel, so it is expected. Or do you mean something else?

Yet you continue to come back. Einstein would say something about that, but I will let it hang.
Same old strawman, and you took him out in the same old way: hyperbole FTL!

A good 90% (or better) of the time that someone says that; the Post referred to is a Sticky at the top of the Thread Listings. The later 10% of the time, the Thread referred to has been active for a couple of days, and people have already hashed it out; and not wanting to let you feel as if 'nobody cares', they are simply pointing you in the direction of where people have already been discussing it. Why do you have to make that a negative?

After I myself administrated a CoV message board (a lot like this one), I came to understand exactly what the CR guys (and gals) here have flat out stated a couple of times: they sticky posts that are popular or oft repeated in order to get everything in one place, and save the Subscribers time rehashing the same old stuff over and over. It is simply a matter of economizing a humongous, but finite resource. We could have twelve dozen Threads just like yours discussing the exact same topic (but that would be gross), and people would get bored with it and not check out the 145th Thread on the subject which just might contain the jewel. So the CR's sticky a thread and say; "Hey guys. We have a spot specifically designated for this topic now. Save yourself some time Searching and use that one so that everyone interested doesnt have to waste their time searching." It is essentially the same as keeping Suggestions in S&I and Player Questions in Player Questions. Although, lately I have seen Suggestion threads erupt in Player Questions with people not caring that they are posting in the wrong place. They are still wrong. As are you. It is what it is.

On Topic: I like your idea, and Seldom's, and Zamuel's take also. Interesting stuff. As far as making Signature Powers like the Zeus Attack; that probably wont ever happen because it would be too labor intensive. And after the first time someone sees the Lightning fall fromthe sky, someone else will want it, and suddenly you and 15,000 other Characters are using the same Signature Power anyway.

Actually, any power can be a Signature Power (a la Ebon Eye as stated previously). It just depends on how much you use it, or what importance one character puts on that power to the exclusion of many others in any set. To make it unique is always the problem, and the problem with that is making it balanced, and that is in the hands of the Devs. Wonder what they will do about it? I look forward to seeing.

Good luck.

You gotta throw the right one, Kheld. PokeBall gets you the Tier 1's, UltraBall gets you the Tier 2's, and MasterBall gets the Tier 3. Simple.

Plus you just know that BABs will get Animal/Creature MMs into the game someday, and we will need a delivery system.
