  1. um........... ok, so at risk of looking like the dumbest guy on the boards, could you tell me what in the hell you're talking about???? i didn't get any of it, i have NO IDEA what ME2, or DLC mean.............


    CRAP!!! i am so not old enough for this to be happening!

    So, as a general question - how large portion of your characters will get Fitness for the first time?
    you have 9 50's without stamina????????
    you poor poor masochistic bast@rd, why would you do that to yourself...... not to mention 9 TIMES?!
    do me a favor, call your mom, ask her if she loves you, when she says yes, believe her, and stop hatin' on yourself.
  3. so damn happy!!!!

    see, i love the presence pool, i want it on a bunch of my characters, but game wise, it's not as good as other powers i must take. now that i get three slots back...... hello "SCREAMING AT THE BADDIES!!!!!!!". and this makes me happy
  4. ok <standard "not sure if this has been mentioned yet" disclaimer>

    for blast powers i would like to see (on top of the existing animations which i think are fine for the most part) optional left hand, right hand, eye, both hand blast animations, for just about all the blasts. keep the signature ones of course, but i would like to do and all eye blast guy (NO, not ripping off the weenie in those X books), or have left/right oriented character where i could color the blasts from each hand accordingly (left hand blasts blue, right hand red, you get the picture).

    i would like to see more options for controller powers too, but i'm having a hard time explaining what i see in my head......... how about we say, more demonstrative, whole body encompassing animations..... i know that's vague and random... sorry.

    and could we please find some way to attach a flypose permanently to a character, without having to do a macro/keybind? i was thinking making it tied to a costume slot, so each costume had a "check box" for which flypose it uses, or something graphically easy like that?


    and of course...... POWER POOLS, all of them darnit!!!!
    like flight could get an energy trail animation, or fire trail. make a more "ninja run" like super jump that was more acrobatic looking. a less flashy, or even "dark" themed teleport, customizable versions of the sprint animations for SS, that kind of thing.



    i also have a long wish list of animations for the taunt/taunt like powers..... but none of them are forum appropriate... so nevermind.
  5. NICE!!!!
    always on the look out for new superhero fiction

    THANKS

    Sure, some see them as an extravagance, and maybe they are in most cases. So are videogames, movies, television, comics, (insert hobby here). Also, besides variable levels of practical usefulness, they're entertaining and fun. Having the internet in my pocket alone is damn handy, never mind the rest of the stuff my Vibrant can do.

    edit
    As for the OP, I don't know much about the Droids. I've got the t-mobile variant of Samsung's Galaxy series. I had the original G1 before that, mainly because it had a physical keyboard, and I've tried typing on an iphone and my hands are just too big to use it comfortably. But the Vibrant has a 4in screen and that new touchscreen keyboard input method called Swype. You just have to drag your finger through the letters of what you want to type and it figures out what word you want. Battery life is pretty good and it's fairly slim. No flash on the camera. It's probably about the same or a bit faster spec-wise as the droids. I don't think anything other than the Nexus1 has the latest version of the android OS (2.2), but will have it before the end of the year...that'll add support for Flash.
    did you read above about the spooky coincidence? well, this is twice in one thread
    i went from my G1 to the GalaxyS (vibrant on T-Mobile) about a month or so ago.... so happy, the huge screen and extremely powerful phone make for a great tool. and since i build and maintain the VPN's where i work, i got to setup a portal for smart phones, Android is just a linux distro under all the fancy UI, so a quick dl of a terminal emulator, and i can do emergency support from my phone in a pinch....... how awesome is that? no more lugging the heavy work laptop everywhere just in case!

    to the OP, despite the obvious bitterness of some.... buy the darned phone, the real issue is droidX vs droid2, physical keyboard vs virtual....... that's it, let that decide what you get. and you'll be thrilled, they are great Toys/Tools/Accessories, and i hear tell you can make phone calls on em too, but i rarely do that, it interferes with all my playing . and if you're a techy, then the linux underneath the droids will be fun to play with, just make sure if you root it, it's POST 2.2 update!!!! and if you're not sure what that means, for gods sake, don't do it.
  7. i can't add any numbers, as i refuse to integrate math into my leisure time activities, but the misses in Praetoria are maddening, and appear to be quite alot more prolific the in either red or blue side. i'm running two dom's, a scrapper, and a brute, and it's been the same for all of them, but you definitely notice it more with the dom's. so as completely unfounded, unofficial support to your well math'ed out example, i agree, something ain't working right..... my initial assumption was that the "acc bonus" for lowbies may not have made it into Praetoria, but, like i said, i ain't puttin in the effort to disect it, i'll just rant and rave at my computer like an idiot

    And not to give away anything to those who may not have gotten it yet, but there's even a mass murder choice. I'm so happy.

    gotta agree, doing the powers arc with a scrapper i wanna bring red side, the missions are alot more..... intense, i guess, then i imagined they would be. it's awesome! i loved the one where you get to break the guys other hand just to see if he stops talking like an idiot

  11. ok, so i pre-ordered the complete collection, and surprise! it got here today (sweet, expected to wait a day or two), so i first noticed no "razer gaming surface", meh, whatever, i don't much care. but after i load the game, pop in the serial number for my account... i don't have those nifty level 1-20 enhancers that i so wanted. i know there was supposed to be a code and someplace to put them, but i don't know what to put where (mind out of the gutters folks). anyone figure this out yet?

    While Captain Marvel is a Superman ripoff too, Thor is a little more inspired by him than by Kal-El.

    actually, check the history, there were two guys who originally came up with "superman", they split, and captain marvel and superman were the two offspring of that split, with captain marvel being the property of the guy with the original idea. so technically, superman is the rip off of captain marvel, though CM didn't come out till years later.

    i gotta agree. i was HUGE fan of the comic when i was young, but when this movie came out, comic movies were, well............. christ, they put dolph lundgren in as the punisher....
    so i didn't expect much, and though it missed the dark and mean feel of the comic, i thought the comedic take on it was a good runner up at the time. and i love schnieders "mister i am da law' line. but very psyched for the new one, gonna keep my secret dvd copy of the old one hidden in the bottom of my sock drawer like it was pron, but i'm hoping for a btter movie this time around.
  14. not because i have more then one or two toons on liberty, but i can't not bid on things like this..... i think i have an issue. 200,000 for liberty

    edit: well that will teach me to look at the time stamps on the posts...... missed it buy a whole work day it looks like. oh well. and SC, you sir are nuts, certifiably nuts, we love you, but your nuckin futs in the best way.
  15. it's all glowy like....... i likey!

    oh and Spidey don't hurt either
  16. candlestick and TFury are right on.
    Rad/Kin is awesome, i leveled a kin/rad def to 50, loved it so much i turned around and did rad/kin cor, but it's VERY low mitigation, very FAST action, edge of your seat kinda play.

    Rad/Dark is safer, solo or teamed, no question, and it's alot of fun as well, great bag of tricks. you'll get to 50 just the same, but you prolly won't have the damage taken badge

    so it really depends on the playstyle you like, fast n furious = rad/kin, slower, safer, more tactical = rad/dark. either way you really don't go wrong.
  17. ok, i've heard that there are some changes in the works for grav control. i was just wondering if anyone had heard more then that? maybe what changes, maybe time frame for the changes? anything? very interested, as grav is my favorite control set for thematic reasons, but tends to let me down in actual gameplay

A great game exploit is to tp the mobs into the side of the wall. Sometimes they get their heads stuck and can't get out, but you can still wail on them


    you sir, have won an internets! that's awesome and must be tried post haste..........

  21. ok, just wanted to see if i missed an announcement or something, is there some known issue with vet rewards right now?

    my account creation date was 4/7/2007, it is now 4/13/2010, simple math leads me to believe i should have 36 month vet rewards.....
    i have 30, stopped short of blackwand/nemesis staff, how awesome is that???
    sent an email to support, but just wanted to see if it was a wide spread problem.

    I'm ONLY 34 (i love you old fogies) and i play with a group that's minimum age is 30, fun bunch, very casual, very friendly........... and very dirty
    was brought into the game by a guy at work, who I'm pretty sure is 179........ well maybe not, but durned close. when I joined i steeled myself for the juvenile vitriol that is the mainstay of most MMO's, been pleasantly surprised every day since then, and for that, i love all of you folks.

    New to game

    welcome syfy!

    i found two things out pretty quickly when i got to this game that helped me tremendously;
    first, MAKE LOTS OF CHARACTERS!!!!!11!!!!eleventyone!! you have the space to do it, so use it, make one of each AT, play them until 20 (not straight thru mind you, but don't give up on an AT until you've given it a good test drive).

    second, let the folks on the forums know what server you are on, they will give you their globals, SG names, toon names, whatever, and it seems that the vets try to out do each other with helping you. never met a more helpful/friendly community, become a part of it and you'll make friends i promise.


    oh, and make MOAR TOONS!!! just in case i hadn't said that already altitis is awesome, you'll like it, don't fight, just succumb.
  24. didn't read all responses, so this may have been pointed out, but.....
    issue called "dark mirror", reference to enemy that "can match you blow for blow"....
    this sounds an awful lot like an arch nemesis feature... just sayin'
