Dangit, I was hoping that the OP was asking for our End drain to mean something when fighting enemies. If I floor an enemy's end, they shouldn't be able to attack at all.

Quote:They showed a shot of three what the devs are calling Titan Weapons (don't let Mr. Tow snow you into using the word he likes better) in a Ustream chat, during their three day run of City of Heroes Freedom chats, a big rusty sawblade looking thing with other swords sticking out of it, something akin to a certain JRPG character who's known for having a giant sword, and a railroad crossing sign.Originally Posted by Alexandria2000
Where is this information? I completely missed it.
Two handed, over-sized weapons basically. Supposedly, there's some sort of momentum mechanic/bar with it, where your attacks will be faster and do more damage while you continue to attack. Also, they don't expect it to be ready for when issue 21 launches. So, still a ways off from whenever 21 drops. -

The series just wasn't set up like that. There have been no indications whatsoever that any sort of scam was in the works. It could be retconned that way, obviously, but I highly doubt that's been the plan all along.

Quote:Gwen's still a good option, if she regains control of Carnage, she should be able to mimic the appearance if she put her mind to it. Even if she isn't, I'd bet even money on a lot of people wondering if it is her when the new Spider-man comes 'round.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
The implication is that Pete is the "Uncle Ben" for the new Spider-man. That they were there, had powers, and chose not to use them, resulting in Peter's death. If it weren't for the fact that the new Spider-man is clearly a guy, I would've put my money on Gwen. She has a semi-meta background from when she was reconstituted from...Peter's blood. Which would be inherently spider-ized.
The question I'm asking is, "Who else has webs?" -
Interesting. Very interesting. With as many free accounts opening up soon, it does seem like the time to introduce something similar to the competition, doesn't it?

While I liked the randomness of it before, now that we have the Magnetic aura, through the Incarnate rewards, I'd like to have the option to swap out to having everything propelled to be of similar size to the bits that we see floating around us with Magnetic.
Maybe the smaller bits from Magnetic plus some of the smaller objects that are already in Propel's list. I don't need it to be uniform, but for it to pull from a list of smaller items would be keen. -

Quote:What if it's a scam? No, not by Marvel to sell more comics. But, by Peter, Aunt May and her houseguests, and maybe Nick Fury and SHIELD? (Okay, maybe it's partly Marvel.) But all these espionage people around and nobody thinks to pull a public shell game like this?Originally Posted by Durakken
Just finished all 160 issue of Ultimate Spider-Man...
I gotta say the whole "I'm Peter Parker" reveal thing was worthless with...
Norman Osborn
Harry Osborn
MJ
Gwen Stacy
The X-Men
The fantastic Four
SHIELD
The Ultimates
His Principle
Kong
JJ Jameson
DareDevil
Dr Octopus
Ben Reilly
Curt Conners
Aunt May
Shocker
Chameleon
Eddie Brock
Nova
Kingpin
The FBI
The CIA
Felicia Hardy
All knowing his secret identity
*snip*
I also have to point out that I don't buy Spidey's death, nor hobgoblin's for that matter. We're to believe that Osborn used the same stuff on himself in a less stable form that would have given him less of a regen ability and we see him stabbed through the back with an iron girder, shot hundreds of times, and various other wounds less severe or more than a gun shot to the abdomen and we're supposed to believe the more adaptive, more regenerative one dies while the less one keeps coming back? I don't think so.
Mark my words, there's more than just polybagged shenanigans going on here. -

Quote:I'm not sure I see anything odd about the portrayal of blacks in the context of this 30 second trailer. Beyond fighting vampires, there isn't much at all to judge it on.Originally Posted by Traegus
why blame WS? blame the Japanese, their depiction of blacks in general has always been........ odd. I wouldn't call it offensive or anything, i just don't think they have a cultural basis for them. and honestly, Blade was a second rate comic character at best before WS did those movies. Not saying those movies were astounding or anything, just that he portrayed a Blade that i thought was much cooler then the half realized character in the comics.

Quote:It's bound to happen sooner or later, might as well bring those two back now. Leave Thanos for the next Infinity/big cosmic brawl or whatever.Originally Posted by Nericus
Problem with Nova and Starlord returning is that it's likely THANOS will be returning with them.When I saw that my first thought was, "Wow, usually a writer would leave a much more vague possible way out for these sorts of events." This seemed to me like painting a big sign post that said, "Duh, we know they're coming back, hope whoever does it will use the most obvious thing that I practically painted a sign on it as I can."Quote:
Still the door is open for them to come back. We never saw what happened and they did have a cosmic cube with them. -
Titan Weapons sounds like the makings for an interesting set.
Hopefully, we'll see a claymore sword, what's the really long Samurai sword called? And some polearms and scythes added to the mix for slightly less titan weapon flavor. As well as, hope hope wish wish, some Vanguard variations. -
Solid video, as usual. Always glad to see these, even if I forget to mention it in one of these threads.

Quote:Seems like it'd be a nice way to end a week full of big news and daily Ustream videos.Originally Posted by Lazarillo
I'm a little surprised they didn't just skip putting it on Test and kick it straight to live, honestly. As far as I know, it's basically "done".
I think this coming Tuesday is extremely likely. -

They look more like Naga than the Snakes we have currently, what with the fully human-ish torso. -
Totally signed.
A note about this however:
> Iron Blade / Claymore
Needs to be changed from 30 minutes in-game time of use to 30 uses, to put it in-line with the other melee weapon recipes (sledgehammer and bat). Also, would be nice if they changed the temporary power that we get from Safeguards/Mayhem side missions to this as well. -
Quote:So.... Can you fit monkey men in there too?Originally Posted by Impervious Fist
I think space will explode and turn magic making the globs of destroyed space give life. So when the globs go on the dirt it forms a jungle filled with dinosaurs, yet who's riding the dinosaurs? The 5th Column, who fell off of the moon after it exploded, making them 5th Moonites. The 5th Moonites ride the dinosaurs in GLORIOUS BATTLE. The few remaining humans team up to fight the 5th Moonites and save the newly Prehistoric world. Here's a picture from Beta.

So, how close were you to 50 this time?

Quote:See, my thinking is, that I'd rather have a weapon on my back and in my hands than not being able to put any weapon on my back at all.Originally Posted by BlueBattler
If they ever do get the technology right, I hope they fix Infernal. He's always looked goofy to me with his ax both on his back and in his hands when I fight him.
Would I rather have a sheath/holster/scabbard that animated? Sure, but I will accept the them as full and empty all the time until such time as they can fit in animated versions.
Please tell me that people have also asked for shotguns(from safeguard and mayhem side missions, though I kind of wish we had a recipe for this too) and other assorted temp weapons that are currently animated as pulling from the back too? -
Quote:Then, you add in Swap Ammo and you have even more spell effects. Dual Pistols and pretty much any secondary(blaster, corruptor or defender) other than Devices and Traps and you can say it's kind of magic-y.Originally Posted by FlashToo
I have a KM character. I tried several color types on her, both light and dark, before I settled on pale blue. While it should be up to the OP, I don't have his definition of "witch magic" to go on - only my own. And whether you color it light or dark, KM is always very flashy and dramatic. While a few cana may have witches that cast flashy, dramatic spells - Bayonetta, I believe, is an example - that's not the standard for what witches are, and if I thought "Bayonetta" immediately upon hearing "witch" I wouldn't have advised against guns either.

I really liked it, and enjoyed the different scales that each of the different segments/episodes had. Also, it instills a great deal of hope for the forthcoming Green Lantern series.
Quote:More recent comics have stretched that time out a bit. But, let's be honest, his name's Sinestro, if he doesn't go evil at some point that would be the real shame. Besides, we know it'll happen eventually, do you really have to rush it?Originally Posted by Durakken
Sinestro is a GL in it which is confusing because Sinestro falls within the first week of Hal joining the GLC...If they took him out it would be better., especially since his prssences serves no purpose. -
If anything, it's completely fair, because it happens to everybody with a non-Epic Archetype.
