3rd of Jan. I know I missed the DXP weekend. I'm rather annoyed about that.

I just checked the market. At these prices? You gotta be kidding? I've been away for more than 30 days and thus have lost everything at WW/BM. No monies for me.

Deep within the bowels of Castle Bathory the Primogen relaxed in his sarcophagus. The lid was off and he lay like one might in a bath, his feet crossed resting on the edge. It had been a long flight. The Primogen had been on one of his many unscheduled sojourns. No-one knew he'd gone until he was already where he wanted to be. Where he went no-one knew. No-one dared ask.

He opened up a copy of the Paragon Times, rustling its pages. A headline caught his attention. Apparently Dr. Mechano was being taken to court. The Primogen chuckled. It would seem that Mechano would have to face down the evil beings this world has ever produced - lawyers.

I'm back. Told you I would be. Hehe. So, what did I miss?

Over the past month or so I haven't been playing much due to various RL concerns. So, since my sub runs out today, I'm gonna let it slide. I don't know how long I'll be gone but I intend to return at some point.
Just letting you know.

Both heroes and villains can team together for ITF, Marcus Valerius or Senator Decimus Aquila's missions, but Daedalus and Sister Airlia's missions are faction only, so heroes and villains cannot team together for those arcs.

I don't mind uber characters if they're played well (i.e. have a decent backstory and don't godmode). Since I do most of my RPing in PD it provides an excellent excuse (read: copout) to limit my toons abilities. In fact one of my toons actively uses PD as a sort of refuge, since he is an uber psi and constantly hears the voices of everyone on the planet, in PD it's quiet.

One way of having uber power and plausibly limiting it is to have that power have some sort of drawback. For my uber psi it's the incessant voices.

Another toon of mine is the avatar of an abstract. Since by nature it is not supposed to have a physical form, that form is subject to destabilisation upon violent assault.

My main hero is a traditional Inv/SS. His strength and durability are sub-Statesman levels but he's vulnerable to psi attacks. Strong willed he may be but it's not enough to stop any half decent psi turning him into a vegetable, or against other heroes.

Merry Cthulhumas everyone!

I'm getting quicker.

Expert Slope: 17:38 with SJ and no other buffs.

Advanced Slope: 48:75 with SJ and no other buffs.

Seasons greeting to you all. The piste is open and the snow is crisp. With the advent of the Advanced slope we have a whole new slew of times.

When posting please specify which run you ran (Expert or Advanced) and any buffs you may have received (including travel powers), if any. If you can't remember, not to worry.

Here's mine:

Expert slope: 17:75 with SJ and no other buffs.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to reclaim the title I held last year 'Fastest Brute on the Piste*'.


(*Expert slope only)

Whilst I like the concept, I foresee a LOT of complications arising. As you mentioned there would be consequences and nerfing your entire build for the sake of one power would be unfavourable.

/signed for concept
/unsigned for implementation.

My guess would be sometime between now and the Winter Event (Dec 2nd iirc).

I'll be putting a few more up later, but for now here's Knightmare, my DM/DA/Soul brute. I had to adjust the contrast a bit, else it would've been too dark.

Each outfit has a thematic purpose.

1st: The Black Knight
2nd: The Revenant
3rd: The Abyssal Terror
4th: The Tall Creepy Guy

Just a little note; if anyone is having issues with either link, send me a pm and I'll email you the mp3.

Why would someone who could fly take the train? Why would someone who could teleport take a ferry?
These questions have been nibbling away at the back of my mind ever since I first played this game.
So I propose inter-zone travel powers. They could work something like this;

Upon selecting a travel pool, say flight, you would select the various powers as they come available to you (Hover, Flight, etc). Upon reaching some arbitrary level, 30 for example, you receive a call from your starting zone contact. Cue mission. Once completed you now automatically gain the inter-zone travel power for that pool.

Once gained in order to use the power you must first have your regular travel power active. So once your flying you click the IZTP and a dialogue box pops up with the list of zones. Places like the Shadow Shards, Ouroboros and Cimerora will still need to be accessed the usual way. You pick your zone and you are treated to a brief cutscene of your toon hurtling off into the distance at supersonic speed.

Upon arriving at your destination you will appear at (or above in the case of flight) a train station/ferry. The actual station/ferry will depend on where you traveled from. The power can be used once every few minutes to avoid possible misuse.

Just for fun I thought I'd detail the little cutscenes.

Flight: You see you toon rocket off into the horizon accompanied by a sonic boom.

Super Jump: After a brief primer, with one bound your toon will leap across the zone until out of sight.

Super Speed: After a quick primer, your toon will vanish in a streak of light, like a warp trail.

Teleportation: Would be similar to the Pocket D teleport animation.

The scene: A montage of Commander Union hurtling around Paragon doing rather Superman-esque heroics.
The song: What else but my very own Summon the Heroes

This is another musical piece. I wanted to do an ominous, somewhat villainous theme in contrast to 'Summon the Heroes'. Originally it was to a be a simple villain theme, but over the course of composition I became inspired by the Smashing Pumpkins' 'The Beginning is the End is the Beginning' (I borrowed the rhythm and some of the chord progression) and it changed into something else. The deep strings and the slow, relentless percussion reminded me of some impending doom and so it became the Coming Storm.

Do enjoy. The Coming Storm

I've inherited two SG's, one on each side. The one blueside is fine, but the redside one was named after the groups founder and I'd rather I had the ability to change it.

The above poster (Myopic_Aardvark) has quite possibly the most original forum handle I have ever seen.

What do you call a cow with no legs?

A serious review for Cloak of Fear

[/ QUOTE ]

But I like Cloak of Fear.

Provided your toon is under level 5...

Whilst it may sound like a good idea, I'm with Phantoms on this one. Given the transient nature of test toons, in that they are eventually deleted, I understand wanting to keep a toon that you've built up on test. However, it is tantamount to cheating and open to exploitation. Imagine you had a character whose costume invited deletion, you could effectively store that toon on test, and if it was deleted on live it could be retransfered from test. Plus there's a whole bunch of other potentially game breaking stuff involved.

Don't stop now, we're almost there.

I was playing on my Widow earlier. I got a polite tell inviting me to a team. I accepted. The team was fine, all except this one guy. Now, my Widow is female and as toons go she's pretty dang hot. This badly dressed Corruptor hounded me with suggestive and lewd tells regarding my toon. Unfortunatly I didn't log the chat so I'm unable to amuse you with this cretins rhetoric. Suffice to say he was detailing some of his fantasies.
After a few missions he starts directing these tells at me personally. Asking what my name is, what I'm wearing etc. It was funny at first, but after 5 missions it was getting old and frankly disturbing. Now throughout all this I did not reply once to him. My first, last and only reply to this freak was to inform him of my genital configuration.

I didn't hear a peep from him after that.

I take it that mission had been outleveled for quite a while then.

I notice he's been banned again. I don't see why. I checked the history of the Krimzon Guard article and the unauthorised edits were made on the 24th Oct, when he was editing everyone elses pages. He already got a one week ban for that. The Krimzon Guard page was simply caught late.
