    That first part doesn't come close to answering the question. Male Widows ARE of the same AT as Female Widows. Which makes the second part seem like a complete non-sequitor.

    Canon <-- That pretty much covers it.

    No, I don't think that this pracitice of linking in one place to something posted in another for the sheer point of basically advertising is in keeping with the spirit of the forum rules.

    Wow. Talk about a giant... ummm, I would say "waste of Influence," but it's not like any of that was unintentional. Now I don't know what to call it.


    Also, was there any kinda point to that? It's not like you can really take that "money" out of circulation. It doesn't actually circulate in any traditional sense anyway. I mean, new "money" is minted constantly.

    Do you post anything besides useless images that seem like they would be at home on 4chan?

    You really needed three threads for this?

    Here, here and this one?!?! Really?

    Might I suggest Justice server?

    *shrgus*

    Not sure, what impact GR will have. One thing that seems to be a certainty is that more people will start playing ATs they hadn't before... either because they dislike one side or the other, or just because they can now make pretty much any AT whatever they like. So, with luck, that will mean a lot more Dominators around.

    Yes... exactly like that.

    When is a character of mine done?

    I don't know that any of mine are really "done." My PB has been on a semi-permanent hiatus since reaching 50.. same goes for my Fire/Kin Troller. Most of my characters go on pause whenever I start a new one up... so that happens a lot. But, I will usually get back to them. A ton of my characters got new life during the free transfer period because I was able to move them around and rename them for free. Those names helped a bunch of them, especially my Elec/Nin Stalker who is now Biospark.

    One of my oldest villains, an MM, just hit 41. So... even he is still on his way to 50 and "semi-permanent hiatus." A new set of costumes a few months ago really helped him out.

    But, the long and short of it is that my characters aren't "done" per se, and those that are, get deleted. But, as one of the above posters said, even that hasn't stopped a few of them. I have resurrected a couple characters and either recreated them as they were (maybe with a new name and/or look) or as a different AT... but to me, it's the same character.

    Naming Idea

    POST-ACTION

    Also, I don't see this being a problem to program. Possible display fonts would simply be listed in a drop-down menu on the last page of character creation. Each font could then append a tag (like [TNR] for Times New Roman) to the end of a character's name. It would be invisible for everything except for things like invites, and tells. Would it be kinda hideous? Well... it wouldn't be as bad as appending the global name to everyone's character name.

    But, it would yield lovely things like: /invite Awesome Man[TRN], /invite Awesome Man[BOA], etc. And then you have Awesome Man[COM] being mad because you accidentally invited the wrong Awesome Man.

    All and all, I still say stick with the thesaurus and just come up with better names.

    If your character is such a super special unique snowflake that you can't stand to have horrible, evil punctuation afflicting your name, just think up of a new name.
    ...Maybe because punctuation used in that way looks completely stupid?

    I will go with that latter choice (without the acid and bile though that seems to come part and parcel with everything you say).

    This idea won't fix that. The kind of impatient uncreative person that does that is not going to care what the name looks like, and prolly won't bother with this new system. Or, worse, we will end up with 4wesom3 Mann- AND 4wesom3 Mann-.

    Not a bad idea... but a rather unnecessary one IMO. There are so many ways now to reduce the cost of a Tailor session (and money is rather plentiful.. esp. now that it is e-mailable) that this, to me, would serve little purpose. Though, if this were to roll out tomorrow on live, I wouldn't put up a fuss.

    ...unless, of course we are looking at things from a perspective outside of time.

    Is that related to the Agent G in Faultline, do you suppose?

    I disagree with this completely. I have never needed more than 10 slots.

    If I had to guess (and I don't)... I would say that it leaked onto live by accident and likely will either be an unlockable (with a Defeat X Syndicate badge) or be removed due to it being an NPC-only piece. AKA, don't get too attached to that desing.

    By "mood," I assume that you mean "stance"?

    Mission music?

    Yes... those are the theme songs. There are certain pieces of music that are just as iconic within our community. The AP theme, the hero mission complete music, and the villain mission complete music.

    I bet if you play a random bit of music from those other games that is NOT the theme, people may very well NOT be able to tell you anything about the song (some probably could... but most folks won't).


    P.S. They are missions... not quests.

    The look to be retconning the whole thing imo.
    That would be the exact reason I only mentioned their Primal Earth connection, actually.

And this is where someone chimes in with "well, you should have run the Imperious Task Force"...but I thought the idea behind merits was to make *all* the TFs 'worth' running instead of everyone just hammering the same one over and over because it was efficient.
    And here I thought the point of Merits was to re-balance the system so that you weren't guaranteed a recipe regardless of the difficulty and length of a TF. Sounds to me, like the ITF needs to have it's average completion time recalculated...
