I can't imagine there being an issue with using characters that are first and foremost Biblical in origin. Though Apocalypse has taken to his Horsemen, using those names with any other appearance would likely be safe.
With regard to Elsie-Dee? I would think that using a different name, like Elle C. Dee, would work as well, wouldn't it? And not have as much in common with the (rather obscure) Marvel character. -

Quote:Ummm, they sat there for a year? Isn't that answer enough?I recently just reactivated my other account which had been inactive almost a year and I logged on to my highest toon on that account, a level 39 scrapper. I check Wentworths and I see 20 purchased Achille's Heel proc recipes at low levels. All were purchased for <10 000 influence. With Rad blast for blasters just around the bend, crafted prices are 20mil and only going up.
How the hell did I manage this? Haha -
During one day at the height of summer, six glittering starships appeared out of nowhere. Suddenly everything went dark. It was the curse of the evil monkey that eats cotton candy!
The people all fled in terror at the sight of the sticky-fingered monkey. It hurled large chunks of cotton candy at the innocent Omegatron Zeta Warbot, "Koo Koo Katchoo", who, caught unprepared, pulled up his iron underpants, and ran screaming into a brick wall.
Then the monkey laughed and said, "where's my punchline?" A man named Alfredo von Wigglestein appeared and said, "I think, therefore... I don't care. Now, you need to go to talk to the guy about registering for the special buns and thigh class. After all penguins have anurisms and I wear polyester thongs to school. Where was my jar of Honey Bees? Who will not drag my fat butt? Now what was the price of eggplants and bees again? I forget things quite quickly since I'm old. Although old is relative."
So then my sister Bruce bought a banana from a passing street vendor. He grabbed a dictionary and started to read aloud the definition for monkey curses. He then looked at the crumpled warbot, pointed and said, "Beware! Chaos is brewing beer!"
Then the warbot stood and drank beer.
Then my sister stripped naked and started to dance a sexy dance.
But the police helped her undress. Afterwards they ran in circles chasing Folonius while yelling the words to that pop hit polka song by the Andrews Sisters. That made Folonius roll out barrels of Rikti Monkeys. This proved problematic for the newly created government of the Rikti, for it had finally caged all of the barrel monkeys.
Lady Grey said, "I like to do weird stuff in the nude with the Rikti." So I took out my camera and filmed her from within her secret monitoring station. "I will never spy on her," said blpup pervertly as he passed out from poison. But just as he died, a passing noob stole his influence. Then burnt his body.
Soon the monkey scattered the ashes and ran home crying to mommy he'd been Riktirolled. The momma monkey ate Chaos Creator's little can of sausage to get even. Suddenly, the sausage regurgitated itself out of the monkey and said this, "Let my people go you jerk!" But then the Freedom Phalanx came and revealed that Chaos was happy. This surpised noone.
Then Chaos died a little inside. Later, he got on the interwebs,but got lag when he tried to look up sheep tied onto a kite. This saddened the chickens who wanted to eat sheep.
Suddenly a man wearing a big target on his jockstrap with three arrows on it, all pointing to his third nipple, busted into song:
"I can't get any more funny during this chaotic event, please help!"
Suddenly, Statesman said, "He who laughs first loses their chance to punch Defender in the genitalia! Don't laugh!"
Not laughing, Manticore took off his ill-conceived costume and started to dance like a meandering lama in split pea soup. Swan giggled and got naked before Popeye the Sailorman had a chance to eat spinich. This left him an opening to get Olive Oyl in the mix. Bluto was furious. Wimpy ate burgers.
Meanwhile, back at the hall of justice, Betty Boop was preparing to bath her puppy in a vat of boiling oil. She was killed by a man wearing a yellow sweater with matching socks. He also rode a Harley that did not stop eating Statesman. "Lego my Statesman!", he said. Shortly, a big red ball appeared and killed him too. The ball muttered its disappointment with a spatula.
Ghost Falcon appeared and began to remove his clothes so he could show off his new shiny and improved green toxic suspenders -
Quote:What you've described as your vision of new content is just about what they have included in in issue updates. If they are producing a paid expansion, I trust them to make it more than an issues worth of content. If they were to charge us for the amount of content of an issue, I think there would be hell to pay from the customer base.
I believe this is going to be a release that's at least the size of Villains.Quote:given that gr is a paid boxed expansion, i would find this highly unlikely.
We have it on good authority that Praetoria will be several zones, and that there will be at least two new powersets. Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that there will be a new AT as well, but I obviously have no factual information to back this up.
I will be assuming very little, and hoping for the best. I will be in the second wave of beta as a Loyalty Program person (unless something crazy happens)... so I will suspend judgment until then. -

Quote:Holy fabulous arts! With regard to your worry on the first piece, as a person uneducated in art, I would think that as long as the background is de-emphasized by the colors of the foreground it should turn out okay. I really really like both pieces!Let me know what ya think, as always good and bad criticism is always welcome

Quote:I find it a touch ironic that PvPers have decided there is a wrong way to play this game. Which is even more funny because all of the non-farmers who have implied as much have been ostracized and mocked. Of course, some PvPers are probably the very ones who said "let people play how they want." I guess that really translates to "don't tell ME how to play, but I will dictate the rules of activities that I like to do."Yeah I can see where you get the 2-3x more people PvPing figure from.
Freedom RV just now:
16 Fight Clubbers in the train
6 PvPers zone PvPing
LOL
*Edit. Scratch that 6 figure. 2 of the 6 were Fight Club outlaws attacking the police. So 4 PvPers zone PvPing LOL
**Edit. Yes very impressive post I13 numbers for a monday afternoon! LOL
***Edit. Can't forget to include the 1 pill box badger. -

Quote:I played a DM/SR Stalker, and didn't really find my heal to be all that essential, especially after Elude was available for those tougher fights.Well, I'm usually getting healed by someone, but sometimes those healers die. There always that one time though where I'll take a big hit and I lose like half a bar before I get healed. I'll get really low and take a step or two back and aid self and jump back in. I'm lvl 37 right now and I haven't got into the set bonuses for this toon. Especially since the market is being gouged at the moment.
-
Quote:Heals are overrated. Period.I have a DB/SR scrapper in the making. right now she is at lvl 37. I was looking at a few builds and I was a bit surprised to see that some of the /SR builds had no self heal. Why is this? Are you dependent on that defender or controller to heal you or is your build that IO-ed out that you just really wont get that one devastating blow to the head and go down for the count? Plz do tell. I saving up alot of money....for what I don't know. I have alt-itis and I'm lookin to get that one toon that I can resort to as my AV and task force go to hero. I have a 50 DM/SR, but he has siphon life.

I like all of that, Bill.

Quote:All of that has been my experience on Infinity for the last few weeks... really annoyed with it, but it is still playable IMO. Just annoying on occasion. It is strange to me that redside is now more playable for me than blue (I play red on Guardian) when it had always been slower and laggier than the rest of the game, for me at least.I've never had issues to the point of pulling up netgraph and seeing red spikes everywhere...
...until after maintenance yesterday.
I play on Triumph, and it's getting really weird:
- Enemies vanishing and reappearing
- Toggles not showing the activation spin
- Clicks that constantly show the activation spin.
It's a bit rough right now. I hope it gets fixed before Issue 16 goes live.
Still:

That's what I figured... but it is an abmysmal thing. Especially since it evolved from "plz" which itself is an abomination. AND then had a "0" implanted into it for added "über-cool 1337-ness." Arg, the torture that our language has endured.

Quote:If the pieces you mentioned weren't at all problematic, don't you suppose we would have them already? As you mentioned, they could have just adopted the Tsoo version. I think that looking at the line-up of features for Issue 16 (that was once deemed so unlikely due to a number of factors), it will become obvious that our Devs are anything but lazy.In AE I've selected the sorceror from the Tsoo gang and went through all the emotes. The only emotes that doesn't look right is crouch, only because the sorceror's arm clip through his robe. Is having trouble with just one emote a reason not to add something quite a few player have been asking for?

Quote:Also, your mission slots could be full.... or you could not be the right level for the contact.Okay, maybe I'm stating the obvious, but did another contact INTRODUCE you to him? If you just walk up to him without being sent to him by another contact, he'll basically tell you to go talk to someone else.
Just a few general things that may be gumming up the works. -
Quote:I think this right here is perhaps the best argument for making them account-wide.Account wide would be nice, but it really shouldn't be necessary.
Simply put; These badges shouldn't be so damn hard to get.
I'm speaking mainly about things like the Tommy, Nemesis and Crey guns redside. The enemies that you need are SO damn rare. And yeah, thats not even mentioning the Rularuu weapons, where you HAVE to either get in line for Naylors arcs or use Scirroco's missions if you want any hope of getting them.
Blueside, the majority of these are far, far easier to come by. Nemesis? Spawns all over Peregrine Island. Redcaps? HUNDREDS of the little gnats in Croatoa. Overseers? Shadow Shard, nice and simple.
Redside? Dear oh lord your in trouble... -
Quote:Well, if my playstyle is anything like others who don't use the AE (I swore off of it just after its inception due to the horrible teams and even more horrible missions that were being run), then you won't see any advertisement at all. I don't tend to use broadcast to recruit, and I never use AP broadcast, of all places, to recruit. I have a team building Macro set on my current character that includes the contact name, level and if I can predict, where the mission will be. I take anyone who, after being asked, responds.Ive been playing this game since December 08 and back in april or may when the whole AE corp came out and at first it was pretty cool and i enjoyed it. Then i stopped playing for a couple months and i came back about 2-3 weeks ago and i dont see anyone playing the missions that go along with the game. I guess my main question is, is there anyone that still plays the real missions in the Infinity server and if there is how come i never see them looking for teams because i only see people in the broadcast looking fo AE mishs.
I just got Statesman's Pal the other day with a somewhat rotating team of 8. It went very well. -
Quote:(Emphasis, mine.)And yet, in the game world, you can't possibly come up with a REASON why your first character got that doodad, and then subsequent ones also have it. Anything that goes on a character like that should be earned individually. We get better perks like vet powers account wide.
I do agree about the gladiators however, that doesn't seem to make much sense since "you" aren't really playing - it's a pokemon tournament lol.
Not that I don't agree with your point, but doesn't it seem a bit odd that all of the varied and different characters one makes all have the same access to the same vet rewards? By the logic you used above, shouldn't this be somewhat immersion breaking?
