    Try reading all of my posts in a Flat, Monotone manner.

    [/ QUOTE ] That amuses me.

    While I don't write in a flat, monotone manner it's easier to ask someone to do that than to explain the subtlety of body language, pitch, tone, and style of speaking. There are no visual or audible cues in plain text beyond -stresses- of various [u]sorts[u] And while you can stress a point or even a phrase you can't transmit -how- you're saying it to people through text.

    Ever watched My Cousin Vinny? They got a verbal confession out of one of the brothers because he asked, incredulously: "I did it? I did it? I murdered those guys?" And, when read back without appropriate punctuation it became a confession.

    People seem to like reading into what I say for emotion, sarcasm, or anger. If people would just read it as plain text many misunderstandings wouldn't occur.

    Except, of course, when I put in direct text based clues. But who'd -ever- notice that? /sarcasm

    I think it should be in Atlas park, maybe the entrance should be a door inside the city hall, or in Galaxy in the main building

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Nah... 'Cause that presumes the NPCs made it past the drones and the large numbers of heroes standing around in front of and inside City Hall.

    I think it'd be best to have it in a Graveyard or a Park. Perhaps just South of the Atlas Statue, set the Memorial there?

    I suggested a Graveyard so that they could make a big speech while opening it and sweep their hand out over the graves of fallen heroes and citizens to make some gesture of appreciation to all of them while they open the capsule.

  3. I kinda like the Salvage/Recipe/Influence cost per e-mail...?

    If nothing else it'd slow the Inf farmers down and not -too- many players use the function, anyway....

    Some sadistic person in the Bio-Engineering division of Heaven had to put a delay timer on the system..

    Yep... so we guys get hit there and get to THINK about it for about 2 or 3 seconds before it really gets us..

    "Oh hey... she kicked me right between the legs... really hard too.. ah jeeze... I hate this part.. it's true.. the waiting has got to be the worrrrssstt...unnnghhh..."

    Proof that GOD is female.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    God can't be female.

    Eve would've come first, Adam wouldn't have been made of ash and dirt (Lillith), The Apples of Knowledge would've been given freely and cute things wouldn't have the ability to kill you. (See: Australia)

    However I am of the belief that God was, at one point, a stoned Frat Boy.

    "Okay, okay... Hang on!" *toke toke* "Okayy... check this you! We'll take the body of a beaver... give it webbed feet and poison but -only- in the males... Then we'll give it a Duck's Face! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehehehehe.... And.. And... And it's a Mammal that lays eggs. [censored] YOU DARWIN!"

    That pretty much explains the Old Testament really. Humanity had some hazing.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah... The Old Testament was the Violent, Dictatorial, Disciplinary God... Where disobeying his word could get you turned into a statue of salt (Lott's Wife) Or kept from the promised land and mooned for striking a rock out of irritation instead of tapping it. (Moses was shown God's Hindquarters when he was forbidden from ever entering the promised land)

    And then, the New Testament. God becomes a Peace Loving benevolent (if removed) father figure who lets you do pretty much anything you want in life. His rules are relaxed, his attitude is relaxed.... But if you don't get 'Saved' by accepting the son of a carpenter into your heart then you burn in a fire for all eternity.

    "Murdered 200 children and then had sex with the neighbor's Dog? You're going to HE-! Oh... Wait. You accepted Jesus? Into heaven with you, you little scamp!"

    A Pondering

    I am about to hurt you, PK..... From the sheer awesome and sheer stupid combined..... I am Captain Pinky!

    *rushes off to try and get that name for a concept character!*

    -Rachel-
  7. Agreed. Fully.

    How many times have you been sent to save a bank or police station from Arachnos attack and found the entrance in a Cave or a Sewer?

    -Rachel-
  8. Apparently -sometimes- they do Ambush. They just wait 'til the Boss Mob ambush to arrive.

    Owch.

    -Rachel-
  9. Fell for what? o.0

    Also... Chainsaw SRS? I'm a girl and that made me wince and cover my crotch....

    -Rachel-
  10. I dunno if it'd be any better than farming missions, overall. But it would make pretty much any server feel -vastly- more alive, with more people flying about, smacking people off rooftops and whatnot.

    Though End-Game farming would be inside missions, since the streets of Peregrine and Grandville would be -bare- from all the street-farming.

    -Rachel-
  11. In a thread with 20 total replies you hold 11 of them. 1 yes. 5 Nos.

    By Democracy you lose. Also, I'm not a crabby person at all. Typically I'm happy go lucky or even gleeful and joyous. Check out my posting history to find out. I'll admit there are a handful of times where I get snarky or upset... But usually I'm pretty good.

    Try reading all of my posts in a Flat, Monotone manner. It helps a lot.

    *edited to better reflect Bill's postT
  12. The issue there is infringing on individual player abilities. Raising the Minimum bar can make the game unplayable for some or even a lot of people.

    Better to raise the upper-most bar and let people achieve bigger and better things rather than ruin other people's gameplay.

    -Rachel-
  13. I'm noone to say what the Dev Team does with their time.

    Who are You to suggest they do this? The Queen of CoH?

    On the SUGGESTION Board players make and debate the Suggestions. If there's enough positive feedback from the Players then sometimes (It's rare, but it happens) the Devs alter their intent to add in something a player thought up.

    But when 4 separate people give you negative feedback on a suggestion with noone else entering the thread with positive feedback you should take a hint.

    No. I don't represent the majority. No I don't represent a minority. I represent myself. But take a look at how many people have viewed the suggestion, how many have posted, and how many have been against the idea.

    YOu'll have some idea of where you stand.

    -Rachel-
  14. How about 'PvP Difficulty'? When you enter a mission it's like you're fighting in a PvP zones with all the limitations thereof?

    It can be Difficulty level 6. Identical to Invincible in all other ways. No additional reward, just more difficulty.

    -Rachel-
  15. I think this is a Fantastic idea. Maybe not DOUBLE. But an increase would be cool.

    -Rachel-
  16. Bumping your own posts is against forum rules.

    Some ATs aren't meant to solo above Heroic because in the beginning there only -was- Heroic. No other difficulties. That's the baseline of the game. NO AT is meant to solo on Invincible, the game wasn't originally designed to handle that.

    You're suggesting that instead of a Break Free (which already exist in the game and are perfectly valid as a method of breaking mez) we should divide the Dev Team's focus into 4 powers with -extremely- limited functionality or use.

    It's a bad idea that would delay the release of more requested or logical expansions to the game's core. Thus noone has told you it's a good idea.

    -Rachel-
  17. It's like talking to a brick wall... One-star the thread and move on.

    -Rachel-
  18. Actually I think Break Frees are useful.

    Right click on three same size and type inspirations to change them into a Breakfree.

    Making a new Pool of break free powers is pointless.

    -Rachel-
  19. Buy some Breakfrees from the contact. Pop one before the fight.

    Next question, please.

    -Rachel-
  20. Someone had to do it, eventually. =-P

    Looks like I broke the thread >.>

  21. They are. But we won't be hosting the Independence Day family Barbeque.

    No biggie, anyway. He just needs to be reminded of these things.

    Yes we have the day off.

    I am procrastinating from cleaning the kitchen.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Had to do that, yesterday. XD

    We worked out a deal where I'd clean house and cook meals if my fiance did the dishes and the yardwork.

    The house is spotless and we just got notified of the weed ordinance. >_<

    -Rachel-
  23. Congratulations! Far cheaper than any of my friends ever had to pay... >.>

  24. I have a level 41 Archery/Nrg Blaster.

    The character's story is that she was a D&D Geek living in Skyway City. For -some- reason her DM went Missing and all the other players in the game were turned into their characters. So now instead of Sarah Whitman, High School student and Manga Fangirl, she's Lianna Siannodel, Elven Arcane Archer and Wizardress.

    Wanna know what Epic pool I'm taking for her? Munitions.

    Not sure I'll take Rocket Launcher, But Body Armor has proved a -massive- boon to her survivability. And Sleep Grenade will mean she can -finally- have a Sleep spell. Albeit an Epic Level Sleep Spell >.>

    It's either that or Surveillance... Does Surveillance force you to draw the stupid Gun? I'm pretty sure Sleep Grenade does, but not 100% on that.

    -IF- I take the Rocket Launcher it'll just be Meteor Swarm or some similar spell, in my mind's eye. =-3
