My main goal with Shalice here was for her to PUT SOME CLOTHES ON. And I - like the original poster - am so sick of looking at her stupid belt that I decided to go with no belt at all. I stuck with the original color scheme (more or less) since it looks good with her pink energy blasts and greenish forcefields ((though I think her powersets are in dire need of reassessment, personally!)).



Citadel needs a makeover simply because running around for almost six years in some newbie-contact named Horatio's busted old power-armor can't be good for any android's self-esteem. I clearly went for a "TRON" look, because "TRON" will always and forever equate with "hi-tech" in my mind. If I could have, I would've stuck with Citadel's unique head-model, though.



Lastly there's Numina. To be honest, I really like the unique robe she's already sporting... but there are a few things that need changin'. Most importantly: The porno-haircut NEEDS to go - even if her name IS "Tammy"! It's 2010! Also, the cheap, boring leather boots she bought at Payless don't really suit a mystical apparition of her station; she needs to fancy it up a bit, I reckon.

So that's my first batch... I may do more, as this was a lot of fun!

This time I went with a Steampunk style universe. I did try to keep the general feel of each character within that limit.

I think the only one that really needs additional explanation is Synapse. I felt a Frankenstein's Monster motif would work well with his background and powers.

I would of assumed that since there are so many less players now on COH/COV that it would of been free. I have 2 accounts that I have managed for at least 47 months and 56 months. I been seeing so few players now that I was seriously considering retiring my accounts and moving on. I might even put my accounts on Ebay since I have around 25+ lvl 50s on them each. If it gets too expensive I may go the cheap route and stick with STO instead. That is fun at the moment and looks to be a decent game. If I could afford 3 accounts active per month I would stay. But I got to spend my money wisely nowadays. I will say this.....because I been with COH/COV since its inception ( beta ). I hold all MMO's accountable to a high level using COH as the standard. If they don't meet the basic standard that COH has set....I don't stick around after a couple hours. Even if it cost me a month lost.

I've searched this forum, and nothing I can find explains what apparently I need to know.

Can someone offer up a clear, exact, step-by-step set of instructions on exactly what I need to do to build a working teleporter to, say, Atlas Park?

I would really appreciate it.

your casual and someone else casual could be completey different, I've heard it takes some people years to get to 50 because they play lots of alts of they may only play a hour or two a week. Why shouldn't they get these 2 ATS to play? Well obviously the devs agree with mine and peoples like mine opinion.

So ya get off your high horse why don't you.

Also, an easy way to find Marcone bosses is to head to the Flop in St. Martial and beat up bald dudes in white suits or guys wearing black suits and white hats. Mobs(ters) with those two costumes will always be bosses (consigliere) or underbosses (for the Untouchable badge).

Same with getting from the "core" of Grandville to The Gutter (not going to use the entrances with the nice purple-con Banes, thanks!), from The Gutter to outside the wall, etc.

Also agreed on the content. I'd really like to see more contacts in St. Martial. I recently got my Dom to 50, my Brute is at 46, and my Widow is now 34. I am tired of Nerva. Tired of traveling to the far reaches of it to get to Naylor. Tired of Timothy Raymond, sick of doing Kelly Uqua's bidding. Even getting tired of Psymon. Over in St. Martial though, Hard Luck's missions take no time at all, Jezebel Jones and Vivacious Verandi take even *less* time. Basse isn't much better. So you're left with about 30 missions for Hardcase dealing with the Wailers. Oh joy. I'm still probably going to run Hardcase on my Widow anyway - even if it is taking running the Talos Island mayhem again to get introduced.


(For 30-35, I really would like to do Crimson Revenant and Slot Machine's arcs. But nobody EVER seems to take on Shipyard, and finding 200 Marcone bosses is just mind-numbing.)

*rummages*

Here -

I was playing around with the costume creator as many of us do. And I came up with a pretty cool "mecha" character. Very much a tank. Even wound up looking vaguely like a Gundam. Couldn't think of a decent character concept for it at first. Except I knew that it was totally robotic and no human was actually in the suit personally driving it. I thought at first to make it a classic "combat robot escapes from corporation" thing, but that's been done to death.

Then a couple of bits of info collided in my brain and gave me an idea. I rushed to log on and write up the new bio on the character and it all kinda... rushed out of me at once. I love it when that happens.


I present MACSS-01 - a "giant robot" (well about 9 feet tall qualifies, right? He's at the height slider max anyway.) designed and built by 5 genius teenagers. They take daily turns on a tele-presence rig piloting him around Paragon City righting crime and bashing evil!



A commenter on the CoH LJ noted:

"Virtue has Susie-Bot, but that's teleoperated by only one precocious genius. You've also got the classic sentai team dynamic, and a little bit of Code Lyoko... it works well together."
