    I was thinking "Supercollider", like the canceled Superconducting Supercollider. It even has "Super" in the name!

    Is this something wrong on my end or is this closed beta?

    Apparently so...

    The Bioluminescent and Organic Armor sets do include new heads, if not monstrous ones.

    Hopefully those aren't what is meant by new heads and there are some monstrous ones to go with the missing tails.
  4. If you want it for thematic reasons, it seems that you should be asking less for a new power pool, and more for gadget-themed power customization.

    New GR video! :D

    That's probably the most accurate explanation of English I've ever seen.

    **makes mental note**
    My favorite version of that line is:

    "English doesn't borrow words from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them unconscious, and rifles through their pockets for loose grammar."

    Actually, if I recall correctly it WAS done a long time ago in connection with the defunct Korean version of CoH. A long obsolete version by now even if you could find it of course, but it's doable apparently.
  8. Welcome back! And yes, the game has improved quite a bit over time in my opinion.

    Or just a working portal; they don't have to keep the stolen atmosphere in the ship.



    Problem Stated: Primary. Destruction: Humans.

    Problem Stated: Secondary. Terraforming: Fourth Planet.

    Atmospheric Transfer: Solution. Earth: Dead. Fourth Planet: Breathable Atmosphere. Twin Avians: Terminated With Monolith.
  11. An idea for some flavor; put up on buildings, or perhaps arches over roads some digital alert signs. The kinds used to warn of emergencies and such, except these would put out alerts for in game events. Like the Events channel, but in-game and with perhaps more detail, like "ALERT: VANGUARD REPORTS INCOMING RIKTI INVASION TO THIS CITY ZONE. ALL BASELINE CITIZENS SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. ALL SUPRANORMAL CITIZENS PREPARE FOR ASSAULT." In between events they could show more normal messages, which messages would depend on location.

    This seems to be same version number as here in the old Training Room patch notes; so the fix may just not be noted in the Live patch notes.

And why be a ghost if you can't recall friend, so third pool is taken. And really, stamina is an ASAP, so no pools available. [I have Ninja Run, fwiw.]

    I kinda wanted him to be weaponless...

    Ideas?
    Sonic/Dark Corruptor or Dark/Sonic Defender. The stealth power stacks with a Fly stealth IO, the sonic attacks go well with a wolf look and don't use weapons. Plus it's a strong combo.

    There's a difference between a "furry" and someone who likes anthropomorphic animal characters. Furries are those who sexualize their liking of anthropomorphic animal characters and gain sexual gratification from engaging in such behaviour.
    What do you then call people who call themselves furries and don't "gain sexual gratification from engaging in such behavior"?

There's now a difference between furries and anthropomorphic animals, and it comes down to the difference between liking anthropomorphic animals and liking anthropomorphic animals.
    <scratches head>

    Um, no. The difference between furries and anthropomorphic animals is that the former is liking anthropomorphic animals, and the latter is actually being an anthropomorphic animal.

    /Thorns with an Achilles -res proc? That'll lower both the defense and resistance of the target. Ill/Thorns might be a popular combo.

    Against Confuse resistant enemies like Nemesis, certainly; Arctic Air is a Confuse/Slow/Fear power, not just a Confuse power. And AA would work better when you are encountering enemies faster than Seeds can recharge. That said, Seeds is probably better in most circumstances.

    My Ice doms confuse things all the time with Arctic Air, and I'd never respec out of it; it adds too much to survivability.
  18. Back tentacles or arms; like the Crab backpack but more organic.

    Cyclops face.

    A face that's just a gaping fanged maw, with no eyes or anything like that.

    Face/head tentacles.

    Bird head.

    Tails & wings studded with eyes and fanged mouths.

    A "Rularuu eyeball" chestpiece.

    Back spines/spinal ridge.

    VEATS aren't "support ATs". My Bane beat BaB pretty easily.

They're currently rather annoyed at us "land dwellers" for what we're doing in and to the ocean, and decided to do some cleanup - starting with us.
    As I recall, they were also the inhabitants of the island that the Mu took as a homeland and fought with them.

    Virtue was down for maintainance earlier, as announced.
  24. I believe that the idea of illusion for masterminds came from an old comment where it was used as an example of something that would need to be heavily reworked if it was ported at all, instead of something that can be ported with minor tweaks like giving Masterminds /Storm. I don't think they ever said there were actual plans to do so.

    That's not a meaningful tradeoff, since different people with different skills are involved with tweaking powers and with creating zones and writing content.
