Sure, you go there to get to other regions - by using a standing teleport gate created by Witchcraft. Defender just wants credit for building a SuperJet. :wink:
-
I must have missed the part where this was to be a thread about what you needed.
-
My reaction to part 3 so far is that if you're going to insist on grouping the villains so close together, you should maybe consider labeling the mission as suitable for higher-level characters. Encantador, a lvl 23 Hexslinger, can't progress into the third room because the very act of charging up a defensive circle,…

Scenes From a Multiverse: Dystopic Los Angeles 2019-448, Soliloquy Zones, Planes of D!ck

And according to Tumerboy's capsule history of the project, you can blame Marvel themselves for that. He says that when the game was originally being developed (behind the scenes because they were in the process of getting fired by NCSoft and being forced to train their replacements on CoX) it was going to be Marvel…

You can role-play by only speaking in-character in local chat, interacting with others the way your character would. Some folks can spend literally hours just hanging around RenCen chatting with other roleplayers. For costume contests, there's a forum thread for announcing upcoming CCs, and of course you can watch for…

Now see what you can find about Cryptic Studios. Perfect World is the publisher, but Cryptic is the company that has to pay the software engineers for CO, STO, and NW.

We have an Area 52. It just wouldn't be the same. (Also, in my experience USAF Air Police are a lot better marksmen than VIPER troops.)
-
Can't bring myself to do the entire list, but my favorite moments in Champions are mostly accidental. For instance, there was the time I'd just run Talos Takedown and needed to return to Kodiak. I was still in disguise, and jumped on the Fire Ant that toon had inherited from another; turns out that when you're wearing the…

Okay, I'm kind of proud of this one. No backstory yet, he just came into my brain one morning as I was waking and refused to leave until I made him. Meet Firearm:
-
Zaretti dropped along with Zoe Loft and Ludwig, but I think Surhoff said something about all of them being taken into custody. (I just started a new toon, Firearm, so when he gets to the end of Westside I'll check Surhoff's exact wording.) But yeah, it does taste kind of like a middleman trying to skim some profit off this…
-
Gunrunner used to be just another Westside gang-banger, until that life cost him his older brother. He decided to enlist in the military, and served two tours in the Middle East, where like many soldiers he was exposed to the toxic and radioactive smoke coming from the burn dumps. Unlike most of them, however, he developed…

So, if you hate this game so badly, why are you here? Personally, when I quit a game, I quit it. I don't hang around trying to annoy other people afterward.
-
Looks like that first Lord Eye has a little pinkeye. If he had a 'fro, would he be Brother Eye?
-
Carol "Ms Marvel" Danvers could fly because the original Capt. Mar-Vell could fly by use of his Nega-Bands, and there was an incident I only vaguely recall where someone from Kree was trying to use one of their machines to kill either Mar-Vell or Danvers but it somehow transferred the power of the Nega-Bands into Danvers'…
-
I usually start off with either a general concept (an experimental security robot that accidentally gained sapience! An electrical hero who's really short!), or a name suggested by either something that happened or someone on the forums (Spinnytop suggested Weapon Xmas to me; Captain Mercaptan happened because I saw some…
-
Hmm, yes, just noticed those dates myself. Thread Necromancy works best on the anniversary month of the original posting...
-
Are we talking about the ZZTop song, or more something Gravitar would like to wear? ;) That could spin into a really long series. First we have to stop her getting all the pearls for the Infinity Necklace, then all the sequins for the Infinity Sheer Top, all the diamonds for the Infinity Studded Belt, and finally prevent…
-
Welcome to the game! One word of caution - there's a gathering place in Renaissance Center (RenCen) known as Club Caprice, or CC for short. Only go into the public side of CC if you're aware of and comfortable with furry culture, because there's a lot of it in there and a few of them get aggressive about dragging random…
-
No, just the usual half-demon/half-vampire/half-catgirl/half-dressed edgelords. Kind of sad, really - there's such a rich set of mythologies, both in the world and in the lore, from which people could choose (maybe your character is an immortal who was mistaken millennia ago for a Greek god?), and they settle for these…
-
Update: This is Kilbern's manifestation in the modern age, affected by modern humans' standards of beauty, with sword and shield. (Apologies for the clipping; with the issues I've had even launching the game, mastering demorecord is a step too far for me.)
-
I suppose that means Win 3.1 support is completely out of the question...
-
Well, it only comes in the one shape (you can see it in the Event Store), but I can put a blue diamond on it, and it already has a gold border, so there we go. I'll post a pic later - my computer's being a pain about launching the game, it does that sometimes. (I suspect a software issue between CO and the Radeon RX-550…

<Patronizer smashes through window> "Hey, buck up - you guys did your best, and that's what really counts, right? I mean, there's only so much guys like you can even do to stop guys like me..."
-
Man, I gotta clear my calendar on the 21st. And then figure out which joke toon gets that slot - I've got so many, from Captain Americlown to Weapon Xmas... :grin:
-
It pretty much is, everywhere except philosophy departments. My inclinations are more toward engineering - accepting the concept of an external reality is part of that.
-
Philosophy students. They'll starve to death next to a smorgasbord while arguing over whether "taste" is a real thing.
-
Protip: When taking pictures of dark costumes, try to find a lighter background. Otherwise, one darkness just blends into another in the picture. (That was one of the problems I had getting a good shot of Sonrise; his costume is mostly black, so there are a lot of backgrounds in MC where he looks good on my screen, but…
-
That's not "hypersexualized", that's deformed.
-
If you want to use definitions, then "anthropomorphization" refers to the process of ascribing human characteristics to non-humans, not human shapes. For instance, claiming your car doesn't start one morning because it's "tired" would be a case of anthropomorphizing your car. However, we've been informed that words have no…
-
The emanation-point choices currently seen are, so far as I can determine, the same ones the game launched with (I came onboard at FTP, so don't know what things were like when the game was sub-only). The "feature" you discuss, however, was one that was, to the best of my knowledge, one that was mostly under discussion on…
-
And therefore sesquipedalian banana foxtrot. Peaches! Peaches and frottage!!
-
Well, I personally tend toward the photorealistic, what with existing in external reality and all that sort of thing...
-
...have any of the programmers involved in this actually seen a woman? In the flesh, I mean, not in a greasy magazine with the pages stuck together?
-
Or, possibly, it's still under way, but between poor coding choices made early in the game's history and the fact that we have like maybe three people total still writing code for CO, it's not ready for prime time yet. It's all guesswork at this point. (My skills with the languages they use aren't up to snuff, or I'd be in…

It's a .jpg file. If it's not on your hard drive, where is it? It's not on mine.
-
In other words, you don't want to be proved wrong in your rather... idiosyncratic take on both player behavior and the response to reports (which are addressed, just not until Monday, or possibly later if that Monday happens to be a holiday in the US). Gotcha. Self-righteousness ahoy!
-
I fall on the part that's not on your hard drive, and can't see the pic.
-
Swinging only gets in the way of saving people if you don't exercise your glutes enough (as seen in the diagram above).
-
Blah blah blah... 183 posts... blah blah blah - no air and bigotry.
-
Here in the real world, there actually are quite a few people who, given superhuman powers, would indeed use them to defend those unable to defend themselves from aggressors. (See the Real movement for examples; none of them have superpowers, of course, but neither does anyone else.) It's just that people who find…
-
The thighs are clad in one of the Holo Armor patterns. I've been trying to remember what the boots are called, but as I recall they're one of the basic patterns. Armored, maybe?
-
None of my toons are welcome. Gotcha. Guess I'll go play STO instead.
-
Kate Mulgrew once said that the writing of Kathryn Janeway was so uneven, she could only conclude her character's mental stability was affected for the worse by the situation the ship was in, with multiple ongoing delusions to help her deal. In short, the actress assumed her character had gone insane from the stress,…
-
Demons tend to have their demonic tendencies (and memories) right along; if you just wake up one day with horns and wings and hooves in a superheroic world, you're more likely to assume you've undergone some sort of mutation. As for superheroes being "nuts", well, I suppose if altruism and a genuine desire to make the…

Sonrise: His father (from a slightly different timeline), Starfall:

3000 Zen in the C-Store, or 6000 for three.

You're conflating discussions here, Spinny. The issue of a Foundry is separate from what I was discussing; I was discussing the idea that players could write new game content, not Foundry-style but actually adding onto the game itself, that somehow magically wouldn't need editing. You didn't like the comparison to print…
-
So certain are you? This isn't the only place I've seen people reacting in terror at the prospect of the Army unleashing an armada of killer robots destined to eat us all. (Same way they react to remote-controlled weapon systems by invoking the image of Skynet, because the SF term "waldo" for a teleoperated device never…

I'm torn between laughter and a headache. "All they really need to do is code it", forsooth! Spoken like someone who's never coded a line in his life - a bit like telling an architect that "I've described the house, all you really need to do is design and build it."
