gads.....niiiiice.
congrats Kat....I am ever jealous of the artists your track down to do work for ya.~

[/ QUOTE ]

Thank you!

*shows off talant tracking down artists*

=^_^=

Hehehe, seriously. I really like what Battlewraith did with Brandon's piece in this one. I really love Brandon's linework. And the colors and especially the shading that BW did makes it come alive.

Lovely, Kat!

I would like to suggest a Kat & TA Art Gallery as I'm sure you guys have enough to fill one.

Just putting in how lucky I am that NPG is in my SG.

So was doing some inking, I'm basically starting from the beginning of this thread and fine tuning the characters, you might notice some changes, but nothing too obvious at this size. But then I decided that it needed some color!

A little color can't hurt!

You're very simply amazing. 5 stars, donation will be forthcoming, and you should enter this in some contest or other. It's really magnificent.

And I can't believe I didn't see it until the day after signups closed.

And I can't believe how big of a h4x TA is.

the women sitting (at the bottom of the pic) looks great! i dont no what it is about her but my eye was kinda drawn to her. looks like a very good start!

[/ QUOTE ]
That is (I'm pretty sure anyway! ), Ele's main, Electraflame, in anime form! I love it too, really captures her personality in a style I hadn't even thought about. Easily my favorite of the three depicted. You can see her in traditional comic book style here along with her alt, Crimson Crone (who should be the deviant looking lady to the left in NPG's wonderful piece. )

And yay for volunteers! I promise to be gentle!

But here's the 64K question: what the hell is it doing lately to evolve and revolutionalize itself or the genre?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hard to answer that without knowing what's in future Issues.

QFT

And this game is still so far ahead of others when it comes to revolutionizing itself and the genre that I think they still have quite a while before woo'ing people becomes a necessity. I play other games. I play GW. I play WoW (filler games I assure you). This game remains my main MMO fix because you can do things here that you simply can't do elsewhere. I'm not going to list what, there's just too much. They're welcome to my subscription fees for a long time to come.

With Guild Wars sure you could make due with never buying an expainsion but you know the game eventually looses its shine just a matter of time when youll want to upgrade

[/ QUOTE ]

I am not complaining about this issue , yes i would like to see more but the difference between GW and CoH/V is you can pay the 50 bucks for the next expansion when you feel it has lost its shine.

[/ QUOTE ]
The games are simply too different in approach to compare.

That's just so cool. My commission sense is tingling...

Beautiful piece.

This is filled with 158% awesome, my friend. Can't believe I missed the sign up on it.

I love a great many things about this game. The costumes, story, villain groups, etc. being some of them. Right now, however, it's the PvP that makes me excited to play. I still run the content and I still read all the text that comes with missions, trials, and new contacts, but PvP has really captured me (Arena especially) in the last year.

I think bases are a case study where a design didn't mesh well with actual gameplay!

[/ QUOTE ]
That never stopped you from stubbornly sticking to your design and forcing a gameplay change before.

Defense Decrease
Enhancement Diversification
Max Targets per attack
Archvillains
etc.

[/ QUOTE ]
I actually liked those changes.

Let's try and focus the discussion on things we can do under the current systems?


[/ QUOTE ]
No offense Lighthouse, but you determined the focus of this discussion with that other post.

Happy Berfday, Arctic! Usually I stuff my wife in a cake and mail her to the birthday people, but I think I'll leave that part out this time.

Way to not die!

[ QUOTE ]

As for the smack talk: it goes hand in hand with PvP as a rule.


[/ QUOTE ]

So does power balance discussions...

In WoW, where builds are arguably much more constrained than here, there was almost nothing else on the message boards...
Complete with "OMG, teh game is going to die if not class X is nerfed!"

[/ QUOTE ]
The WoW boards should never be used as an example for anything.

Lady summed it up much better then I could a few posts back. This red name response is beyond disappointing.

[ QUOTE ]
No, wait, this can't be Heaven. There's too many people I don't like here...

Link? Oh wait I got it I got it.. it's Lucas, isn't it?

So how is cryptic making Marvel's MMO? Isn't that gonna be kinda wierd seeing as it will be direct competiton with COX? Seems to me one game will suffer because of this. Personally I think this should have been a Marvel/DC game in the first place. I think Marvel was angry they didn't think of it first, which had alot to do with the lawsuit. I would think Cryptic has alot of expience and worked out all the bugs with COH and then COV, so the Marvel MMO should be great fun. However, any game microsoft touches turns to crap. So I geuss we will just have to wait and see.
My question is this, If Marvel MMO is as good as COX or better, COX will lose loads of customers....So why would Cryptic make the Marvel MMO? and because they are both Cryptic games...any chance of them intermingling?

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm going to try the Marvel MMO. If I like it, I'll keep playing it. That certainly doesn't mean I'll stop playing CoX. I'll very simply play both.

And when did you get back, Missy!

Oh come on Fling...you know that I am the one that helped you to be the kindler, gentler, more compationate and loving soul that you are today.

*blink*

We love you too, Web.

Very very sorry to see you go, Cuppa. I wish you well over in TR (however bitter I am to see you go to another game instead of the real game over here). Best community rep I've ever seen in any MMO. Ever.

[ QUOTE ]
before you post, would be flamers, you cant tell me that the "planned fix(nerf)" was because the pve npcs in the late game cried foul to the dev team.

[/ QUOTE ]
PvP actually helps find bugs like this that may not have come to light otherwise. As you say, an NPC isn't likely to alert us to something not working the way it was supposed to.

Explain, please, how it's a nerf to fix something that wasn't intended to function in a specific way? This isn't like some of the other changes that have been made. The hold, once applied and in effect, is essentially inescapable. You're trying to say that that's the way it should be?

Shall we foxtrot now?

*daytime soap piano music plays in the background*

Foo.. I.. I.. I LOVE YOU!

[ QUOTE ]
I disagree, to a point. If a hold can't "hold", that's the point? But that is way off topic.


[/ QUOTE ]
A status effect should always have a counter. The hold is still holding, it's just subject to bf's like any other hold. And that's the way it should be.

The process will change or stay the same

Indeed, sir. I keep company with you. Such things cannot be helped.
