Character was reset...due to copywritten costume? WTF?
Scarlet Shocker replied to Niizzy's topic in General Discussion
Suffocated Mule sounds like an interesting character choice! -
I was exploration badge hunting when I got a thought.....

Better there than where the sun don't shine! 😲 -
What does City of Heroes mean to you?
Scarlet Shocker replied to Skyhawke's topic in General Discussion
to me, it means more than just a game should. much more. -
Ask nicely and we might let you back!

For the same reason underwear has a label in it saying "Keep Away From Fire!" Like if you're only wearing underwear and there's a fire, you're going to get as close as you possibly can! Also... THEY ARE CALLED CRISPS!!!!!! Chips are entirely different and good and wholesome.

Absolutely you can, no question. Play it your way! But once you've played every single combo of every single AT you've probably done everything you can in the game more than once.

I'm not a great badger, personally but I get the attraction of them. I think they do need to be in interesting places in order to capture the imagination. Where else would you like to put them? -
If you hear anything of consequence, you'll find out soon enough. Don't take it to heart.

We are where we are. I would imagine it's very unlikely that we'll get any retconning of existing arcs or ATs just to make them "better." Agreed that all (V)EAT stories are less than totally satisfactory but they exist and work. Our volunteer dev team probably have more pressing things to consider and personally speaking I'm glad if that's where their focus is.

You can argue that Longbow already do that. They have a significant presence across the Rogue Isles despite the fact that they are (notionally) meant to be autonomous and under Arachnos control almost as a sovereign state. The reason there is no specific foe for VEATs is because when Kheldians first appeared players would cry like babies seeing void stalkers and quantums and stopped playing them. The specific foes had an overall negative impact on the EATs so Devs gave us a crappy clip show pastiche for VEATs instead.

All I did was open a door and you walked through it 🤣 I didn't specify location, period or mention any law suits, pending or otherwise. Nor indeed body or organization. Any inference you make here is your own -

the more I think about OP's rant, the more it pisses me off. Here's a rant in return. It pisses me off because of his ignorant entitlement. His willing flaunting of the EULA and the conditions under which we play the game, which have been pretty consistent since I started in 2006. We have never ever ever been able to play copyrighted or trademark characters, and that's a given amongst 99% of the community. Now, especially, the one thing that can kill the game for us, and having it taken away forever is some wilful penicheese deciding that he can do what he likes despite what the rules say. That's formerpresident levels of entitlement. And it's dangerous because getting slapped with a lawsuit is probably pretty nail in the coffin for the HC team and our game goes away very suddenly. I'm gonna make a confession here: I do, have, and will, report copyright infringements to HC if I see them in game. Read above if you fail to understand why. I don't do it to "be a dick." I do it to stop dicks being a bigger dick to the community. If I have earned your opprobrium in the doing thereof, you almost certainly deserve to be put in the dick corner. If your singular lack of imagination requires you to make a wolverine clone rather the claws of wrath (you can have that name if you want it) then you need to consider why you're playing this game instead of trying to unstick the pages of your favourite Julie Strain comic anthology.
