White Hot Flash

The only auras that are combat-sensitive now are the costume auras, as far as I can see on the costume editor. Those aren't the kind of auras that are annoying.

You're comparing being over there maybe twice a year for a couple of weeks to living there every day? Now that's funny, and very condescending.

I don't know...I think this one has been way more constructive than the other one. Probably still gonna get locked, but eh.

If anything, it removes any doubt about how people intend on operating in the future, so that people new to the "game" know the score.

Too long of a process? Seriously? Do you want to just insta-change alignments? How about an 'I change' button instead?

Damage doesn't mean a damn thing. Random numbers are random, no matter what you observe. Do it long enough and it starts to converge to the average it's expected to be at.

I've been able to get 5 tips in a few hours, if not sooner, every day I've tried, at lvl 50 and at lvl 32. Never gone more than one mission or a few mobs of street sweeping before getting the first tip, and usually getting several more tips during a current tip mission.

I see this excuse come up every time this topic comes up, and I have to wonder: Even on the higher pop servers, how often does a Numina actually get interrupted? I really think it's way less than people make it out to be.

You must not play Redside much. The Cap BM is probably the busiest place in the entire Rogue Isles, since it's so close to the Ferry, the University and it's crafting tables, a Vanguard door, and a relatively close Vault. There's only three people to interact with, whereas all the Wentworths have 4.

You do understand the difference between an expansion and a sequel, right?

Sequels are also built upon the original, but they STAND ALONE. They can be played without having the previous titles. An expansion, which GR is and which CoV wasn't, cannot be played without it's parent game.

If you didn't have CoH, and just bought CoV, you couldn't roll a hero, and you only had 8 character slots. That's not what expansions do. It doesn't matter if they share the same engine, servers, costume bits, or anything. How the two games interact with each other does nothing to change what CoV's original intent was.

Going Rogue was never marketed as a stand alone game, with content that could be played without CoH/V already on your system. The fact that buying the Complete Edition gives you an install disc with the entire game doesn't change what Going Rogue is.

This is going to happen regardless, simply because it's TMNT.


I wonder why writers/directors feel the need to always reboot something that already has its origin story on film. If all they're going to show us is 4 turtles crawling around in radioactive ooze and being trained in martial arts by a mutated rat, that's been done. Why not pick a story down the road and assume the audience already knows who all the main characters are?

Because you don't start building a new house by starting with the roof.

This game hasn't had any attention paid to content below 20 until the Posi TF got redone and the Hollows got its revamp, and that was just recently. It's way more overdue than worrying about end game content, if you had to choose between the two.

What we're seeing isn't exactly a "choice to do one or the other" either. Posi and his team were working on the Incarnate system, and it wasn't ready for prime time. If it had been, we'd see content for low and high levels. What we got now wasn't their original plan.

I'm sure your annoyance level is nowhere near what it is for everyone around you and others like you that feel like they need all their auras, shields, auto firing hasten, and pets all out while they market.

Small price to pay, methinks, for some peace. It takes all of ten seconds to turn on everything again, if that. Is your time that packed that re-toggling things throws your whole schedule off?

I think it's sad that people assume a thoughtful discussion can't be had about video games in general without citing specific examples and doing compare/contrast.

The lawsuit points to a particular game only because it has to. The thoughts behind the lawsuit, however, can be applied to any game, and behind MMOs in general, including ours.

It is free right now. If someone wanted to buy City of Heroes that never played before, they'd pay 40 bucks and get access to everything.


Good job on the dismissal of your own topic when everyone who responded proved you wrong, though.

This one's gonna disappoint someone that thought they had a real shot at a Bug Hunter badge. They were gonna test something out with being able to go to the hospital and be in Nova without finishing the tutorial.

I kind of figured they weren't the first to find that particular issue.
