I'm currently working on a Rikti arc and I'm trying to decide how this quote would translate into "Rikti Speak." The quote I am trying to translate is "To the victor go the spoils!"

Unless there's a graveyard under Atlas Plaza, there shouldn't be any Shivans just because a meteor landed.

To be completely honest, there's no way there isn't. The Rikti came and massacred the city and it's defenders, after all. Do regular citizens even have access to the Emergency Medical Transporters? Could they withstand thousands of people being teleported at once for an ongoing period of time? Plus, the Rikti made pushes towards the hospitals once they saw people were making stands there.

To further cite an example.. even before the Rikti came along, Paragon City was a city of heroes. Afterwards, there were EIGHT.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, I don't believe that the humans even had the Emergency Medical Teleporters until AFTER the Rikti War. We derived that from salvaged Rikti technology, So, any heroes killed would STAY dead anyway. (Unless there were some healers on the front lines, and there probably were.)

I just played this arc and I LOVED it! One of the best works of art I've seen on the MA! Loved the "FREEM!" "/jranger" and "Rick-Roll" jokes!
Honestly, I just have one problem with it...

WHY ISN'T IT ON DEVELOPER'S CHOICE OR HALL OF FAME! THAT IS NOT JUSTICE!

Thanks, I guess it really wasn't as disturbing as I thought it was. And I will make sure to nerf the AV's Willpower.

I just posted a new arc and I kinda suspect that the Custom Group MAY be too disturbing for CoX. I need your opinions, though. The arc in question is Arc #189748 "Rise of the Liberator Movement." I don't care if you actually defeat the AV or not, but at least read his text and tell me if it's too disturbing.

I'll be remaking my Malta Gunslinger into a dual pistols corruptor, but I'm not worried about saving a name, since there are pretty much an infinite number of Malta names you can come up with:

(Interesting noun) (Color) <-> (Greek letter or military letter code)

Dreadnought Red Alpha
Paradox Blue Gamma
Scorpion Ocher Tango

etc.

How about "Underwear Pink Omega?"
Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!

Ok. For me, the following names are reserved.

Diabolia-Demon Summoning
Madame Ouija-Demon Summoning

And I will think of some concepts for Dual Pistols.

Because CO looks like crap?

Comicy crap, but crap.

I actually disagree with that. Yes, the cell-shading was a major step down graphics-wise, but their sliders, body-tones, and customization, along with everything? I'd say that they made up for it pretty well.

[/ QUOTE ]

GAH! CEL-SHADING! I've been hostile towards that since Nintendo came out with Zelda: The Wind Waker! Please, devs! Do not update the graphics with cel-shading! It almost killed Zelda and it WOULD kill CoX!

There's just a couple of problems with having a judicial system.

1: They are ALWAYS GUILTY!
2: Some villains, like the Rikti or Devouring Earth are not even accepted as human and therefore are not subject to the judicial system. Some, like the Council and Family are, but not all!

*Lord Recluse is playing his NES while Ghost Widow watches*
Lord Recluse: No. No! NO! YOU! That's it! Forget Statesman! You are my NEW arch-nemesis!
*Black Scorpion, Captain Mako and Scirocco walk into the room*
Black Scorpion: What is it?
Scirocco: Yeah, What's the big deal? I need some sleep!
Captain Mako: It's midnight for crying out loud!
Ghost Widow: Lord Recluse was playing Super Mario Bros. and he got owned by that first Goomba on World 1-1... AGAIN!
Lord Recluse: I hate that Goomba! Stupid brown mushroom monster thingy!
Scirocco: *sigh* I'm going back to bed!

See this thread!

No. Newbies should not PL! It will skew their view of the game as a "Farm Fest" and they will find it harder to learn the REAL game!

Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Half of you making the complaints are TF farmers who just can't be bothered; the other half I suspect went through their own "newbie" phase and how *quickly* you forget how we, the first generation of players, carried you along as we hooked you up and waited patiently for you to find your groove.

I've never been as downright obnoxious to new players as y'all are doing now just by listing your complaints out in this thread. Get over yourselves and give new players a chance.

Threads bemoaning new players like this are *much* much worse than anything Positron had to say about MA abuses and it works against everything the Devs do to solicit new players to try the game.

I'm not saying you're wrong for being frustrated, but I do think you're wrong for being uncooperative and airing dirty laundry like this.

Seriously, its just not cool.

QFT Once upon a time, WE were newbs! We had no idea who Ms. Liberty was or how to use macros. (I find myself poking through the manual sometimes to check if I'm doing it correctly!) The point is, we need to man up and teach these new players how to play. Not how to farm, how to play the REAL game! It is our duty to Paragon City and to our fellow inexperienced comrades!

I don't know if the AE farms are to blame for this, but I have recently started a few alts and while I am doing the tutorial mission, people ask me VERY newbish questions about the game. (like how to use powers, etc.) It's almost like they don't READ the instructions provided! I did answer the questions, but it's still kinda irritating!

Then, just today, while I was in Atlas, I saw a level 1 Blaster taking on a group of level 4 Hellions (probably 4-5 of them!) I found that the 'shrug' emote was the only appropriate way to react! (I REALLY need a 'facepalm' emote!) Seriously, I think it's like "Rise of the Newbs" in CoH! (Which actually isn't a BAD thing with CO coming so soon!)

(I added some emphasis above).

OK, this sounds very odd to me - that someone finds it weird that people in a TUTORIAL are asking questions about the mechinics of how to play a game. Oh my goodness - people trying to learn in a tutorial, how bizarre!

Some learn by reading a manual or the various instruction links, some learn by trying stuff out, some learn by asking specific questions about stuff they are confused by.

Personally, I prefer it when people ask questions to clarify what they are confused by rather than ASSUME (we all know where that leads) - and in a Tutorial seems the perfect place to do that. But YMMV.

If it truly does irritate you, then don't answer them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry, I guess I was a bit irrational. I was wrong to assume that because I learned from the manual, that means all learn from the manual!

You're all wrong! Issue 15 is scheduled to go live...

Soon(tm)!

Hmm...

Absolutely pointless...
Waste of Dev's time...
Frivolous...

The Cursed Sorcerer approves of this idea!

I don't think Sister Psyche would let Manticore go Rogue unless he's going undercover to impersonate Chimera.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, yeah! I forgot that they were married! No, Manticore wouldn't do anything to destroy that marriage and becoming a villain WOULD do just that!

I think that if any of them go rogue, Manticore would become a villain. I mean, he seems more rogue-ish than any of the other Freedom Phalanx members.

I also think Scirocco could switch to being a hero. He just seems to have more honor than the other Arachnos Patrons.

I just had a strange thought about the Going Rogue expansion. Is it possible that some of the NPC Signature Characters could "go rogue" in the new Praetorian world? If so, which ones? What's your opinion?

Masterminds aside, how can you rationalize Stalkers as Heroes? I mean, they SNEAK up on their targets and ASSASSINATE them! How is THAT heroic?!

You travel to New York and go up to the top floor of the Empire State Building. You leap off and try to activate "Fly" and you fall 102 stories to your death! ...Oops!

Good idea! And if you ever run into anyone who works for Nintendo, tell them that the next Mario Kart game only needs ONE playable character, and that's Mario! We don't need stupid Luigi, or that princess or Bowser! And don't get me started on Wario! No, Mario is the only character who matters!

/sarcasm/off-topic rant

Seriously, alts are needed. Believe it or not, people like VARIETY where I come from! (That's why Mario isn't the only playable character in Mario Kart!)

Didn't they ban gay marriage in Rhode Island? No? You're kidding me, right? Are you kidding me?

I watched "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" last night and I just had to post this!

"Did I ever tell you about how I was struck by lightning seven times? I got stuck once while I was milking the cow!"

That's what you get for angering Chuck Nor... I mean Beautiful Angel!

Right now, I am playing on a PC and I am seriously thinking about upgrading to a Mac. (I have just about had it with Vista!) I just have one question. I know I will probably need the Mac Edition of CoH but will I also need to remove the Windows version from my PlayNC account, and will doing so jeopardize my characters I've leveled on the PC version? I just want some answers before I decide once and for all to make the switch.
