Primal

...Yeah, that's kinda what I just said? "I wouldn't mind more missions like that one in the RWZ, that actually calls for a bit of stealth. The one where you have to go around collecting but should avoid patrols."

I am another one that's very hard to bore, at least as far as visuals go. I enjoy warehouses and offices the most of all. Granted I can't stand the blue caves, but not because they're boring.

Obviously I'm not opposed to new maps/tilesets/palettes. And frankly I wish some of the current maps got used just a teensy bit more, there are some great ones and you MIGHT see them once or twice. Obviously YMMV on this subject, but what I'm thinking of specifically:

1) Arachnos lab map, except it's the one with the gigantic catwalk-filled area. Not so great for a defeat-all perhaps, but as a side room? Fantastic.

2) The huge outdoor map that's in a rusty factory area, with a central tower, Boss/objective at the top. I simply adore that map, makes me feel like I'm storming a castle. Seen it like twice ever.

I wouldn't mind more missions like that one in the RWZ, that actually calls for a bit of stealth. The one where you have to go around collecting but should avoid patrols. Of course, as always, I've seen plenty of complaints about it because you're dissuaded from fighting. Sometimes though it just makes sense to, for a different example, get to the glowing PC, upload the virus, and then get out without anyone knowing you were there. Nope, you have to clear the room too no matter what. It's a little silly.

I regret nothing. I decided long ago to devote only one character to be my badger, and I'm not at all hardcore about it in the first place, that would require me to do TFs I don't like. Every real mistake I've made was only fleetingly bothersome, or could/will be fixed in the fullness of time.

I'm clicking along, on a thread or to add a post or to edit a post, and it'll just sit there "Waiting for boards.cityofheroes.com" for a while. There's a progress bar, but it's not filling. Sometimes it eventually goes through, other times I get the old "Server has timed out" screen or another similar error message. I can open up other sites with no delay at all while this is going on, and in fact have gotten into the habit of having another tab open so I can find something to read while the board debates. Been an issue for about a month now, during which time I've seen a Firefox update. I get the same non-response on my work PC occasionally too, which is stuck with IE, and which I hasten to add gets its cookies cleared out often.

Checked the tech section, last forum complaint I saw there (that wasn't the "Remember me?" problem) was months old. Anyone else having this issue?

"Yes! I won again! Strange it only pays out in twenties though...."

Occasionally I've seen Carnies in PI standing around with shotguns, saying "Got to hang tough."

This could've gone in the existing thread.

Sometimes I find April Fools jokes funny or cool. Sturgeon's Law applies to jokes as well. The best one of all to me is the famous Legend of Zelda movie trailer by IGN, which not only showed some real effort but still gets people to this day. It's on the cool side. The CoH MUD one made me lol for real though. Neither of these is really intended to fool anyone, they're pretty obvious, but when they DO fool someone I admit it's pretty funny. For the "Visual Sounds" joke, there were people who said they were close to cancelling their accounts before they realized it was a joke, and you just have to wonder about them.

As far as pranks go, I've seen people go off on a Snipe hunt, and go looking for a left-handed smoke-shifter.

Funny. Not as funny as the CoH MUD, that one had me rolling, but funny.

I enjoyed the "Threads to Watch" threads. A lot. Sadly people weren't content to merely observe the unspooling drama and threads like that got nixed soon after creation.

So now I don't care if there's a Pwnz section or not. It'd just be another section of the forums I don't bother clicking on.

See, I got the impression that 20 was the level you could start doing either shady or less-villainous missions, and it'd escalate until eventually you'd go full-hero or -villain. I assumed it'd only take a few missions or levels at most.

I have...hmm, five characters who'll be switching sides, and at least one Scrapper who'll be rolled up with the idea of going totally villainous. Possibly more will either switch or start with the intention of switching, but the six above are already planned such.

None of them are 50s. The highest is my Bane Spider, 25-ish, and I'm not 100% sure that VEATs will be allowed to switch anyway.

The worst names I've ever seen here are not repeatable. Some were racist, others garden-variety obscenity, all obviously designed to pass the filter. I've petitioned a few.

The worst I've seen that I can repeat is "Mutant Blaster". No, he wasn't a Natural Controller, that at least would have some weak irony.

I'm with the Goat on this one, the more the merrier. Sure, the Khelds are supposed to be the "advanced" ATs for someone with the basics, and I say if someone wants to swim by jumping into the deep end of the power pool they can have at it. I don't believe people are so very fragile that they'll get disillusioned if they find the Khelds not to their liking, and anyone that does would find something else that'd break their resolve anyway. I certainly don't feel like I'm part of a leet club with my 50s, anyone that wants one has merely to cruise AE for the latest get-there-quick scheme and they'll be 50 in a meow*.

Personally I don't much care for the Khelds, when I play mine I find they really shine the brightest in teams and are kinda meh otherwise. For me it's the equivalent of getting to 50 so I could unlock a Defender.

* I'm really up on my trends, as you can see.

Now that is intriguing indeed.

Thanks for posting that, DR. Kinetic Melee has me quite intrigued, sounds even better than Psi Melee. And I freakin' LOVE Knockback and Knockdown, no arguments from me for more of it!

It's from Push, if you've seen that. Cool scene.
