I haven't been very active in the community (or in-game, for that matter) for a while now, but back in the days I like to believe I was at least known on these forums. The toon I probably was most associated with was the one in my signature, Rocket Boy - a Gadgeteering homage to the Rocketeer. I'm an altoholic that…

My own take on the concept is Wiz Kid (currently enjoying retirement at 40): Here's another quick one I made: Feel free to use the template if you want:

CO certainly has something. I've been here since release pretty much - a bit off, a bit on, but I'm still here. I still make costumes and go into Westside to beat up Hi Pan for the gazillionth time, running the missions more or less on auto-pilot - but looking damn good while doing so! Then I get to Canada around 20-25 and…

Links are 404, so perhaps it's time to unsticky?¨ Edit: http://filemakergeek.com/?page_id=11 still exists, so that was perhaps premature. The links in the OP are dead though. Oh, and the application itself hasn't been updated for a while, there's several powers, and at least one innate missing. It might be for the best to…

It's the standard Full Helmet - Metal - Solid Color with Side Accessory Full Helmet Sideguard: Oh, and Holy Necro, Batperson!

Thanks for the heads-up. Pando Media Booster always was a **** program, laden with "ad-ware" and hogging your Internet connection long after whatever you downloaded with it was complete. I was forced to use it on a couple of F2P titles and it never worked well, so I've long ago purged it from my computer ("Cleanse it!…

Sometimes less really is more ;)

Since the page is missing from the ARC pages, I took the liberty to snatch it from beneath the redirect window. Here's what it said: Here's what's in store for our dedicated fans: 100 Days* Stalwart Title * FREE Full Retcon Token * FREE Costume Piece - Hammer Bracers (1) * A 5% Experience Boost Until Level 15 * FREE Item -…

Since we're on page 3, I happen to have this screenshot handy, and I like the pose a lot, I'll buck the trend and actually post a screenie of one of my toons blocking: There you go OP, I'll let the others continue being CO-forumites now ;)
-
Get well, crazy person. And stop hitting Smart cars! It's not good for the car, nor for you! Ah, dang it. Just get well, ok?
-
Good info there, jerax. I'll just add that ui_save_file saves your keybinds as well as your UI, so you won't need to do both if you have one setup that you like for all your toons.

As promised, here's Meillandine the Pixie firing her Hearstring Bow:

A bit late to the party, but I humbly give you: The Swede Currently on loan to Millenium City from Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien (The Royal Institute of Science), The Swede is helping the Champions deal with the rise of super-powered crime in the aftermath of the Qularr invasion. Immensely popular in his native Sweden, the…

This is the way it most commonly bugs for me; about two times out of three, although sometimes it's more times in a row. Rocket Boy has tried BB six or seven times and has never completed it :/ Yeah. Not a good sign when a game puts you in that state due to broken code, is it.
-
The <font> tag currently only parses one attribute, and that's color. So you can do e.g. <font color="slate">slate-coloured text</font>. You can get bolded text with <b>bolded text</b>, or italicized text with <i>italics!</i>. That's about the extent of it now though. Note to self: Update and re-post this guide with the…

That's the Urban Diamond Bracelet disguised as a heavy metal studded wristband on the right wrist, and the Urban Bracelet in gold and silver on the left. Much better, thanks for the tip! :)
-
Archers you say? How about a 2-feet-tall, cute-as-a-pie, doesn't-take-no-crap Pixie? Here's Meillandine the Pixie, at the measuring tape by the Tailor in RenCen, with an AF Champion Blank for scale: I'll grab a picture of her with her bow out later.
-
Well, I did go through most of them before settling on these; I think they give off as much a "home-made" vibe as a "tribal" one - but I'll give your suggestion a spin in the Tailor as soon as I get off work. After all, costumes are like paintings; they're never "done" ;)
-
Yeah, that was what I was aiming at; a modern city rat with a bit of attitude - the Bruce does wonders for that, as does the Irradiate pants and Wrapped bracers :) Wow, thanks! That looks like a perfect fit for Wrathchild - time to get the old bio creative juices flowing! A Tarmin in Millenium City... I like it!
-
That's a whole new meaning of "soon", seeing as three years have gone by and the bug is still in the game. Please look into it again, it makes TK not fun to use. For reference, it seems to have something to do with using TK Assault with Ego Darts (the EB) active, or just after firing ED (I usually have mine on "toggle,…
-
I can only agree. A three-year old bug that makes TK assault pretty horrible to use. Please fix it, devs.
-
It's a pretty nice little set if you want to make a classic fairytale fairy, dryad, or as in my case, a pixie. Here's a completely gratuitous shot of Meillandine the Pixie in front of the measuring tape at the tailor in MC, together with an AF Champion Blank for scale: I'm using almost exlusively Dryad pieces, except for…
-
It's pretty well hidden. IIRC it was added by Tumerboy before he got shipped off to the Final Frontier (STO). As to the super-magnifier and super-shrinker devices; if having my Pixie grow from 2 feet to 4 feet 6 inches is deemed necessary in combat, how about having the device auto-trigger on leaving combat? Perhaps that…
-
I know this post is pretty old and you probably have moved past level 11 by now, but I still thought I'd give you the reason that happened; it's because Concentration is a Technology power, not an Archery power, so it doesn't count for how many Archery powers you have.
-
My Pixie toon Meillandine heartily supports Super Shrinker working in combat. Whoever heard of a Pixie that *grows to four foot seven* when hit? Oh, and here's a pic of her and AF Champion Blank in front of the measuring tape at the tailor in MC: She's 2 feet tall, she don't want to grow in combat! (On a more technical…

Introducing Power Line As an electrician working on high-voltage electrical installations, a contract in a top-secret research laboratory wasn't odd for Victor McKenzie. But a late-night accident involving an uninsulated spanner and two exposed high-voltage terminals left him with something that WAS odd; the power to…

Wiz Kid: Thunder Boy: (these are just the ones I happened to have on my work computer, I may well post some more when I get home)

Consider me /signed for some kind of in-game memorial to 'Caine.
-
... ... ... Damnit. I'm crying in anger and sadness. I'll miss you 'Caine. I'll be there tonight if at all possible.
-
Damnit. Damnit, damnit, damnit. What to say? I never knew you other than on these forums. I liked you as you presented yourself here, but I never knew the person behind the handle. It's strange that it gets so real some times, even though it's almost imaginary friends other times. So for what it's worth, from one…
-
I think the main thing that makes them not-superheroes for me is that they've all got the same source of their powers; a magic bee flew into their mouth one night as they were sleeping. Also, the fact that it's all magic; no radioactive insects, or aliens from red sun planets, no high-tech, no genetic experimentation, no…
-
I've been playing TSW since closed beta; I ordered a lifetime sub on the day they were available - well before even playing the game. I've played through the story and have done the vast majority of missions. I've seen all the cut-scenes and read all the lore. I think I have a pretty solid grasp on both the game world and…
-
Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good idea. I just think they have no intention if implementing it for the reasons I stated. Say what? Ah well, it makes a nice change from the usual "fanboi" accusations ;)
-
As I said, it'd be a fairly trivial programming task to do that (barring any really bad code-base issues). Whether or not they'd want to remove that time-sink is another issue (and my guess is they don't).
-
Probably not all that difficult, but your problem would still persist; it would still take two days to do the fusing. If what you're *really* asking for is a reduction in time for the fusing as well, then that's a whole other question - I can only assume the time spent fusing is an intended time-sink and as such wouldn't…
-
Pfft, velociraptors are hardly "automated" -they need to be constantly fed and pampered - I'm not going to lie, cleaning up the raptor cages aren't a favourite pastime... If they managed to automate *that*, big kudos! ;)
-
Adding my voice to the choir here; the CO-wiki is an absolute gem, and it has helped me immensely over the years. So thanks Lohr and all the others who have worked on it, you've made this gamer's game experience that little bit better than it would otherwise have been. /salute
-
Wow, almost missed this! My heartfelt congratulations Kenpo, and my very best wishes to you and your wife! Take care of each other and all the little Kenpo Jrs that might come along :)
-
Dream on ;)
-
Hell yes! Big kudos to TrailTurtle for going the extra mile, and curse you detractors all the way back to... well. Perhaps I shouldn't go there. IIRC, we haven't had a GM-run event of any kind since GMkitty got the can. It's way overdue, and big props to TT for making it happen.

As someone who just recently got to 900 days, I was stoked to create a Vanguard of Thaar! My excitement dropped quite a bit when I saw the state the Avian Warrior set was in. One thing the OP didn't mention is that the head isn't attached to the shoulders (cue headless chicken jokes...) - there's quite the gap. It can be…
-
Good luck out there, and have fun in GW2. I'd take a wager though that somewhere down the line the urge to make another superhero will be too great to resist :) And we'll be here waiting to welcome you back when that happens. Take care.
-
Dunno about that, but I *can* see people leaving because the forum is an eye-sore that's hard to read, *and* has less functionality than the old one. Seriously PWE, can't you afford a single web designer to come make this thing a bit easier on the eyes?
-
Stoopidme, please be adviced that the UK isn't on GMT right now, but on BST (GMT+1). Most of Europe is on CEST(GMT+2) instead of CET(GMT+1), or EEST(GMT+3) instead of EET(GMT+2). It's summer time, and the living is easy. Fish are jumping, and the cotton is high.
-
That's an interesting suggestion. However, I think it'd not reach as many as the upcoming chat-box-plus-on-screen text, but it could be a supplement to it. There would be a problem with using in-game elements for out-of-game ads though; it would break the fourth wall (if that bothers anyone, which I'm sure it does) quite…
-
There's certainly some truth to this; there's a lot of us that have been here since the beginning (and I'm not even one of the real gray-beards, I only joined a week after release), and we were holding on to hope that the PWE merger would mean... well, that it would mean something better than grab bags, nigh-on unusable…
-
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! Best of luck! And as long as you're only resting your cape a bit and not hanging it up for good, I won't say goodbye, just "be seeing you". Do take care, I've thoroughly enjoyed your being a part of this community for so long. Don't be a stranger now!

Ah, finally. Not that I'm going to play it*, but hopefully some other game forums will be rid of the Other Game Fanboys. *Well, at least not initially. I already have two MMOs I play (this one and TSW), and a third would simple take too much time. I'm not ready to drop either CO or TSW for The Other Game. It has gnomes.…
