    Is anyone still reading this?

    I order the paperback volumes so I don't get to read each issue as it comes out.

    I think the "glowing bio-organic" look is the best way to differentiate alien tech from our tech.

    We have the sleek steel looking tech.

    The "bio-organic" look is very alien to the tech we have now and I think it's a good way to differentiate the two.

    But I also understand that everyone has their own opinions...this is only mine.

Come on we(humans) are less advanced than them and yet we usually only place one or two warning labels on our dangerous gear. Biohazard, Nuclear, beware of dog and break glass in case of emergency are usually only tatoo'd once per side at most...so what gives?
    Wait...you can read the language?

    Just because it's alien... it doesn't mean it has to be this bio-organic-glowy crap.
    What is so wrong with the way they have it?
  5. Variant.

    Was thinking of names for a character...came up with Variant.

    Was going to be the name of my WP/SS Tank but I liked the name so much that I thought of a backstory for the name Variant.

    That led to Project: Variation. The process to surgically implant metahuman DNA into an individual giving that subject control over various powers.

    Went with a DM/Regen scrapper with concealment for invisibility and phasing...flight...body mastery for laser beam eyes and energy projectiong.

    Everything came together perfectly and Variant is now the only reason I play CoH.
  6. I'm also looking to join an active SG with this character.
  7. I appreciate the help.

    Wait...what?

    Is this not the Justice server forum?


    Edit: I guess I should mention...I play on the Justice server.

    What do you mean?
  10. I'm back to playing this game after a long hiatus and I'm wondering if there are good channels to join for team play at any level?

    I ask because with the use of the tier1 and 2 attacks with brawl and the origin power, you should not be waiting much, if at all, with just about anything out there.
    Using Shadow Punch, Smite, Sands of Mu and Brawl.

    Honestly, I understand it's my fault for selecting only two powers...but I was just coming up with ideas.

    I completely forgot that you could slot IO's in the power.
  12. Alright...either CoX is losing subs or NOF is just not as good as people thought it was going to be?
    Which is it?

    I've been expecting to read threads for this show but no one has posted any.
    With all the talk about how good it is I figured I could come here to read up on it.
  13. Maybe they should change it so that you can't slot it with IO's?

    Even with the no endurance cost...I still find myself just waiting to attack.
  14. I always take Body Mastery...whether it's for my DM/SR or my DM/Regen.
  15. I want to ask the community...would there be potentially bad side effects to removing the recharge of Brawl?

    Nice...thanks.

    For a minute there I thought I had re-subbed for no reason.

    "The Fitness power pool is now an inherent power pool available to all new and existing characters starting from Level 1. Players can freely choose between any or all of the Fitness powers for available character power slots. These powers can be slotted and will accept the appropriate Enhancements. "

    "Players can freely choose between any or all of the Fitness powers for available character power slots."

    What does that exactly mean?
  18. In my opinion...it's Regen's tradeoff.

    It can be unkillable...but it takes into account, so many things.

    Human reaction speed
    recharge
    slows
    lag

    Sorry...I figured since you cared so much to post about it...I figured you might have wanted to see where they referenced it.

    Rewatch the episode.

    Who's making things up?
    They were talking about superfights in general on heroes...not just peter vs sylar...which makes their point untrue.

    "They also bring up how those who embraced their abilities were limited, thrown away, or poorly written, and that's true."

    They're basing this point on precognitive notions that NOF will differ from this. Again, bringing home my point that it's ridiculous to compare after one episode.

    Not what's being said in this thread.

    Listen...I'm not saying Heroes is the best show at all.

    All I'm saying is that...it's absurd to say that this is what you wanted heroes to be after only one episode. It's ridiculous to exaggerate and make things up about a show in order to make another show look better.

    I mean if after Smallville was over they premiered a new show about Superman that had good characterization, respectable metahuman fights, smart characters, and good dialogue I wouldn't be surprised if people immediately said it was superior.
    After one episode?

    It just seems like Heroes hate to me...and it wasn't even justified.

    Very true.

    Alright...then how does he/she know that NOF isn't going to do that?

    My point is that it is ridiculous to compare this show to Heroes after only one episode.
