    At first I thought this was a serious thread and then I saw you started it. Well done, yet again.

    Just because he's a supervillain that doesn't necessarily mean he can't show mercy.

    I'm sure that there are plenty of supervillains willing to show mercy, excluding Anti-Matter.

    By the way, this needs an SG on every server. And an MA arc.

    I seriously want to fight an onslaught of Nemesis Cavalry and hopefully commandeer one of their Steamponies for myself!

    I think it's for intimidation purposes.

    True. Things seem to be going the way of Wow in the sense that everyone's gear grindin'.
  7. The thing is, I'm told that it's busy, but I never see anyone around, really. It confuses and irritates me.
  8. Thanks for the help, guys. Now I can finally get my feedback

  10. Is it just me or does Union seem like a ghost town? I just got back from a break to find out that they (finally) merged the servers and that Union seems abandoned. I haven't popped into blueside to see how things are yet, but where's everyone gone? Has everyone moved onto the greener pastures of the Yankie servers?
  11. After the server merge my global handle was changed and now my arcs are in the name of my old global chat handle. From what I recall, taking down an arc means you lose your ratings, so is there any way I can change the author name to my current handle, but keep my ratings?
  12. I actually think this sounds pretty solid.

    A good local programme catches this image very well.
  14. Serious? That sucks. Looks like no pre-purchase for me then
  15. What it says on the tin. I've been waiting to Pre-purchase GR until Demon Summoning is available and was just wondering if it's live or if it's later April.
  16. So I'm guessing no one saw Wikipedia on April Fools Day? I got some laughs out of it.

You can do all sorts of things with the projectiles, different colors, speeds, add visible wake effects to add to the appearance of power, explosions on impact (explosive rounds), but actually firing the gun no, you don't need to do back flips or back shots, just point and shoot. Maybe aim a little more on some shots, or hold the gun at your side on others, but that's all that's needed.
    It's a superhero game though and you're kind of missing my point. Everything in the world of comicbooks is somewhat played up, yes? Look at Dual Blades for example. You can swing a sword horizontally, vertically and diagonally. Dual Blade has your characters swords go left, right, up, down, backwards, forwards etc. Why? Because it looks awesome! It makes your character feel super. I doubt a martial artist in real life could jump in the air, spin, kick their opponent in the chest, rebound off them, do a backflip and land. It just makes your characters feel super, the way a superhero should. Standing still and bulling a trigger isn't very super or entertaining to watch.

    Apologies then. I didn't think of reading that.

    But it may happen, I never thought they would do multiple builds and although people like to say, "never going to happen" a lot on these forums, things tend to eventually happen.
    For a long time even the Devs would say the Power Customization wasn't possible now we have it.

    However this? I don't see it as a problem, I don't see how it would be hard to do after allowing multiple-builds.

    Web-slinging (Never going to happen, even I believe that one.)
    Because it would lower subscriptions. There is a distinct lack of endgame content in CoH. The incentive to stay is to create new characters with different powersets since there a thousands of combinations. If my level 50 could have two different sets of powers (2 Primary/2 Secondary which totals 4 powersets) then there would be a loss of incentive for players to hang around.

    Heck, it's not that big of a deal just making an alt with a different name. Loads of people do it and don't seem to mind.
  20. I'm with Techbot on this one.

    [The following is my attempt on understanding the working of the Developers minds] I think the reason why the Assault Rifle is the way it is is to add flavour to it. Look at it this way; how many ways can you fire a gun? Look at the Burst, Slug, Beanbag and Buckshot animations. They're practically all the same, but with slightly different sound effects. Now look at Flamethrower. It looks different, doesn't it? Not only does it look different, it's a different attack, while keeping in with the whole firearm theme.

    Do this for me; give me nine different ways you can shoot a shotgun. For an extra challenge (and considering you like making soldier characters by the sound of one of your posts) give me nine realistic ways, because chances are, they'll all be the same. One handed? Well, sorry to burst your bubble but unless you're using a Sawn-off Shotgun and not a SPAS-12, USAP-12 or AA-12, you're going to skull yourself when the recoil knocks the gun back into your face is snaps your arm in half.

    I'm going out on a limb here by saying this, but I'm assuming you only joined the game recently (or recently enough), because the only AR model used to the 'abomination gun' or the Legacy Assault Rifle. If you look at that you'll notice various barrels which correspond with the different functions (flamethrower, assault rifle, shotgun). The thing is though, it's not entirely unrealistic because you can attach a grenade launcher to an assault rifle, or a shotgun.
  21. Tech and Science go together so they should share the same place. I agree with Quaver though, increase the chance of dropping the respective D/SO.

    It's not fair, but it's inefficient and costly to have 11 Servers running EU-side, considering the max population on Union at peak time is approx. 200. (Not sure about Defiant). Now, if we had more than two English speaking servers then people may wander off to those for their own reasons and that would spread the population out much more, so if a new player joined any of these 11 servers, they would think the population is tiny.
