    F2P & Virtue

    I have two questions.

    1: The 2 slots for F2P accounts and up-to-36 for VIP accounts, is this per-server or account-wide?

    2: If it's account-wide, why are they suddenly and punitively restricting VIP accounts like this?

    If the answer is "Per server" then disregard question 2 entirely.
  2. X-Men was awful. If it was meant to be a reboot, why did they recycle all of the material from the first movies? If it was meant to be a prequel, why did they violate their own internal continuity? And if I was meant to like it, why did they give Magneto a frontal lobotomy and turn him into Wolverine with less hair and no claws?

    It was illustrating a point. For the love of all things holy, please don't bring the Political Correctness campaign in here because I happened to lightly brush against something that might possibly be controversial in an analogy

    Honestly, dude, you're kinda being a ******. It's a daily thread. Blaming the fact that there's new threads you don't like every day for the fact that the Virtue forum community isn't active is like suggesting that it's black people's fault White Flight happened in the sixties.
  5. I'm not living until the moment this change takes something away from me.

    Giving people who aren't subscribed the ability to play takes nothing whatsoever away from people who are.

    My butt remains unhurt.

    Anybody who stops posting in a forum because threads they don't like exist on the same forum and they refuse to share is too stupid for me to lament the loss of.
  7. Ew. It's all sticky in here.

    Specifically, even if they don't there's a difference between "Replicating forms that have become part of their genetic memory after <x> long of using hosts" and "Hey, there's a dude, let's do that."

    And there's a difference between "Becoming a big tanker because this race was large and tanklike" and "Becoming a Knife of Artemis with knife-fu because these particular individuals happened to know it."

    Such a player-class option would lack immersion, be impossible to balance without gimping it all to hell, and frankly, would be pretty damn lame.
  10. Honestly, my least favorite archetype to play is blaster, and that's bizarre, because my main is a blaster. He was my first character, my most straightforward hero, and I loved his backstory too much to let him slide out of that role.

    To this day, he's my only 50.

    And I loathe playing as him.

    Try and wrap your brains around that one.

    Masterminds, similarly, are annoying for me. Probably just because I haven't gotten mine up to godmode level yet, she's in that 20-30 level slump.

    ATs I like? Well, Brutes and Scrappers are lots of fun... my Bane spider's just glorious to play, as is my Widow.

    My Peacebringer... she can be either glorious or miserable depending on whether I've got a team to roll with.
  11. Somebody said Happy Father's Day earlier.

    Wait... am I a father...?

    Maaan, I haven't gotten anything from my kids... I bet I'm a terrible father, maaaan.

    By and large, I find that those types of RPers are easily avoided by simply avoiding demon characters.

    You think I'm kidding, but I'm not.
  14. Implacable Fate.

    Just my two cents.

I haven't checked all servers, but Akeldama tends to be taken where I have looked, or I would have just used that.
    The Gospel account of Judas's death doesn't match this, and Gospels take precedence over Acts, IIRC, meaning this particular story is not canon.

    However, Matthew writes that Judas returned the money to the priests prior to his death and that they then spent it to buy Akeldama, so make of that what you will.

    Yeah, really not winning any points on the "Not-an-*******" scale here.

    I dunno, man, they gave me these drugs at the hospital, y'know, after that totally un-mellow bunny dumped a whole bunch of caustic salt on me and stuff, y'know?

    And it was like... woah.

    If you hate roleplaying that much you could always not participate rather than being ********.

    Just sayin'

    My main disagrees with me on many political issues, doesn't eat or sleep as much as most people, is a deathwish alcoholic, has many self-destructive if not outright suicidal tendencies, and is a borderline boyscout as far as how fiercely dedicated to heroism and saving the day he is. He has a hardcore White Knight complex, and has on more than one occasion toughed out wounds that would, if not for the advanced technology available in Paragon City, have been irrevocably lethal. He is phobic of technology, utterly incompetent on the internet, and he suffers from crippling inadequacy if not outright self-loathing.

    Wow, I clearly should be institutionalized.
