  1. I like the way Mr. Gorgeous is turning out. I don't know if that's the character name.... but it should be. hehe
  2. RogueDemonhunter

    Players in Japan

    Glad your friends are ok. Prayers are with their fellow citizens.
  3. Very good news! Were gonna crack yeh on top of your noggin's and bring you back to serve on Victory like in the good ol days when fresh sailors were needed. ;p

    Just kiddin' eh.

    Ah more servers... more alts. There is no hope for me now....

    No more? But Dominators don't have the most EVIL control set yet?!?! I don't care if it doesn't build Dom... Dom's have a secondary set to do that. Leaving Dom's hangin' withought Illusion. I will probably never level one now. Can't make one Ebil enough. (sadface)

    Woudln't have minded Blaster's getting dark and Def's getting Fireblast. Brutes and scrap's getting the beta brute version of Ice Melee.... Gad!! There's still tons of fun we could have. Why?!?! Why stop?!? It makes no sense....
  5. So far it's ok.

    However....

    I'd like to know why it insists on going straight into opening the BETA version before I even get a chance to click for regular City of Heroes? I'm tired of having to wait for it to load far enough form me to click it to get it's tookus back to the basic launcher so I can launch the regular one.... and no... I tried clicking the other real fast... it ran both and wouldn't load either till I forced both off by shutting them down the hard way.

    Anyway, can I disable the instant leap to "Oh yes... I want to play Beta" default that seems to be active right now?

    Thanks
  6. I wish they had final pets that complemented the existing powersets.

    Static Ward: Electric theme. Ball of electricity (kinda ho-hum but allows for all origins) or a bigger elec imp (like the cap monster) body type. Little lighting blasty/control about what you'd ecpect from a Mu or Outcast shocker type boss.

    That would handle electicaly oriented toons.

    Power Guardian: Depicted as another ball or phantom glowy dude like illusion pet. Does a bunch of Blasty blappy stuff... perhaps a nice +end buff for owner. Perhaps it's a 4 min non recharge enhancable pocet kinetisist? Fits the bill for energy types anyway.

    Dark Reaper: Have this one be a dark servant... Minus the stuff he has and switch him to a melee AI with an axe/dark armor combination. Props if you create an Axe that looks either like a scythe and or shadow-axe or shadow/scythe and open that weapon up for Axe player toons. Why? Cause AXE needs this kind of love. Handles the needs of anyone with shadow type powers/theme and is just plain badass.

    Blade of Artemis: Basicaly calls a boss class Knives of Artemis chick to come fight for you. Handles any Natural/Ninja/Mercenary needs.

    Finger of the God: Basicaly a mobile version of Storm's tornado. A real "Twister" Upgrade the animation quality/density and add some serious damage/effects. Handles the more Wrath of the gods elemetal types. This one Sticks close to the caller and does Knockup. So those damned monster class critter's will at least 'feel' it from time to time. Perhaps it wouldn't last a full 4 min considering it couldn't be 'killed'. Hmm that one would almost be cooler as a PAOE or debuff replacement eh? hehe

    Then some Fire critter thingy... An Ice pet... just use the CoT frost demon body... the crystal titian look with the cryo aura on it. Anything...

    Or allow us to call forth and summon one of the many "Gladiator pets" weve pounded into servitude over the years. As real... you know... pets.

    You know stuff like this. I find it funny that theyre being so diligent in keeping the AOE Booms and the Debuff's/Buffs along the same themes we have in the orginal powersets but the pets are, whatever looks cool from Going Rogue by what I've read.

    lol... Then again.... Are we at least getting a Vanguard 4 min giant robot that we don't have to pay ungodly amount of merits for? I'd buy into that... I like Vanguard stuff. Damn though, I've yet to make that robot on any toon yet. Maybe if merits wern't toon specific...

    Anyway, enough from crazy me.

    Cheers all!
  7. I only have a few furries. Heres my Fire/Dark/Power corruptor Mister Whiskers. He misses his bowtie though. Epulates aren't bad.




    Oh shoot! I forgot to grab a before picture.
    Alt costumes for Manitou Eagle and Atomic Eagle likely easy...
    But gang... What I'm gonna take from it for altering Pepe' Le PewPewPew though?...
    There are no skunk parts. ;p

    EDIT: Nevermind just saw Citizen-Razor's Lemur. Maybee... I dunno...

No need for Hasten because I always have an attack ready to go. Additionally, she has Practiced Brawler on autofire, and I won't take Hasten on a character unless I can set as the autofire power. On the other hand, my Rad/Sonic defender does have Hasten, because of the synergy with Accelerate Metabolism. My Energy/Energy blaster also has Hasten, because after I took all the powers he "needed" I had a few power picks left, and I said "eh, why not".

    So yeah, Hasten is a great power, but by no means necessary.
    Pretty much the same for me. It depends on power sets. My Rads ALWAYS get it. But just after AM.
  9. Sonic blast is a good thing to give an empath. Also any control/emp though they can be slow to level at first.

    When I start a new alt and get enough cash to put in what I call 'patience bids' for that middle one. That is the low level one. Sell off those I dont need at a fair and resonable 1 mil considering your not paying 4 mil for your rare. I do this guilt free. ;p

    Same for the middle Kinetic shield thingy, the rez other power and of course the med pack self heal.

    *The pets for both Preations are kinda stinkeroo in my opinion but the Red and Blue sider pets are fine. Well worth it. At the very least you can summon the gold side ones to get shot at instead of you. I find their attack chains pathetic though so don't rely on them taking much agro off you. Theyre not Shivans... none of them.
  11. Farewell Brigadier. (Smartly slautes)
  12. I'd be on board with this. I'd pay for it in a booster. That and pirate hat hair that poofs away from the head/body a bit more then they do. You think i'd have a pirate toon by now... but nope. Not with the terrible hair clippage into pretty much any jacket... including the trench. I have tried. Also Cyn's suggestion is great. And monster oversised arms.... Well there's your chance to provide a oversized glove and an 'invisible' claws option solution to the we want "natural" claws for claws camp. Shouldn't it work?
  13. The classic of course.

    1:Undercover

    2:Mind Controlled

    3:Reforms Later in career

    4:Quest Somebody or something you want/need is in the rogue Isles. A patron or a pal or family member need finding/saving/capture/killin' or some object or mystic text and the only place that "thing/person" can be found is the Rogue Isles. You know what you have to do to get co-operation from the Rogues that live there and to work under the raidar of Arachnos... and perhaps... Yes perhaps you are the Destined One.

    5: Reluctant Villian You were a guard/official/heroic powered councilor in the Zig during Breakout but were taken by Arachnos as a suspected Destined One. Lord Recluse (or whoever) holds your family/mentor/artifact/item/soul you cant do withought forcing you to play your part... or else.

    Hope that helps. Forgive any bad spelling.

    Cheers!

    Forgot this one. which is oddly applicable thee days.

    6: Revolutionary! Rogue Ilses Citizen (powered or otherwise) biding your time and preparing to overthrow the dictator Arachnos. Remember Marchand!

    alongside but not in the contest or there is the Art Jam that could use more artz too.

    P.S. One more thing Amerikatt is not evil she is the good hearted Defender of Truth, Justice and the Nomerrific Way! errr ...so I've heard.
    Oh dear! Apologies Americatt. Slandering the name of a great hero. Forgive me.
    I recognise the costume now that you mention it. When I first posted, I blended Darth's ID name with my mental concept of the "Title" of the work... and then by assosiation (mentaly... as I am Mental) "Darth delicious" just went straight to "Evil". hehe
  15. 1: Darth Delicious (Who can resist an evil cat with ice cream?)
    2: Defiance Jones (Rockin the perspective here... nice! Also fighting 5th!)
    3: Frozen Death (What's even better then sharks with lasers on their heards? This!)

    And sorry all. Again nothing from me. Overworked with the home care. haven't felt like drawing in weeks. Forgive me.

    Still enjoying seeing your wonderful stuff though.
  16. Cool beans! Screenshots? Can we see him? Post the bio?
  17. You are used to corruptor scale damage. Make a Sonic blasting force fielder or go insane.

    My first 50 old school char made even before epics existed to cover holes was FF/dark. It was passable and great agains minions and lt and sappers lol ;p but couldn't kill a late game bosses worth a tinker's damn. Mind you once it got Dominate and could pretend to be a mind controller with dark blasts that got a damn site better. But it took Dominate to do it.

    Sonic blast my friend. It's got a stun that will mez match with the now No teamate/pet needed Repulsion bomb, and barring that there's always the lovely crafted stun nades. Simply run defender grade tactics to make that hit nearly all the time, you'll want manuvers anyway to squeak out every ounce of personal defence you can still use while your shootin' and not in pff uselessness. It also does the -damage resist debuff that FF is denied having... for no damn good reason in my humble opinion.

    Also consider Traps/Any blast you want. Unless you realy want to bubble others.

    Cheers!
  18. Manitou Eagle (seen here in Atlas Park) would like to remind the young one that the legends, history and magic of the Americas did not begin in 1776.



    That being said. Sounds like a cool name for a character EvilGeko!
  19. "Troll goods, Best goods!" or something like that. Gives me a giggle everytime.

    Great costume! See your the kind of person, if I were a Dev lurking these boards and seeing that you'd have an email with a code for the Ritki costume/model waiting for yah.

    Totally awesome!

    PS: Welcome back Noku! You'll be fine. I've got some toons on Virtue too but I float arround a lot. Main is Victory. PD is ok but I see lots of folks in AP and I guess you could just start up anywhere. Throw the bone and if someone picks it up... there yah go. I like doing the odd line in missions. Captive audience. hehe I never worry about spelling or punctuation properly but enough that I'm understood appart from massive lag induced typeo's... man those are the worst. It wasn't even you so you can giggle about it. ;p Just stupid computer skippin a beat while your typing.
  21. Awe I just found out on Victory Badges global that they did pass out titles in PD 1... whilst I was jolted automaticaly to 2. Man I don't suppose there's any hope the character Mister Whiskers could be retro-rewarded that? Is there? (Makes an adorable cute face, big green kitty eyes look up to Avetea and Beastly.) sigh...

    The dilemma: Based on population of all the servers, even showing up *twenty* minutes early relegated my characters to instance 2, 3, or 4. I'm *certain* I speak for others who don't have the luxury of camping out on City Of all day that this is not very equitable or accessible to the bulk of the player-base.

    While it is true, it rewards the most obsessed/dedicated/work-at-home/game-at-work types for having access, it also *punishes* individuals who weren't so lucky to have that option.

    This will probably lead to feelings of ill-will--I don't have them, I was lucky enough to get into a couple of instances where the packs were being handed out--but what about the person just getting home now, attempting to log into Virtue... and they're in PD5?

    This sort of approach will probably be reviewed for effect after the event, one can only hope the lessons learned from it will be applied to future such events.

    That all being said, thank you for your time on this, it must be very hard to do all of this work.

    Wageslave
    Well we made a party of sorts outa it on Pocket D 2 Victory. Mister Whiskers was passing out treats for cool beastly-threads if yah didn't click "no" to trade.



    Not a big pack (numbers wise)... But a Pack is a Pack! Animal pack that is.
