Squatting is fairly common outside the US. Everywhere I went (outside the US), people squatted for various reasons. They squatted while working. They squatted while resting. They squatted while waiting. They even squatted while eating if they were out and about, and drinking various beverages. Squatting is fairly universal, and getting it as a new emote is fine.

... Okay, I'm going to ask for an example of Skulls in KR speaking in broken English, because I have never encountered any that did so. Only one of the AVs ever did in one mission. Aside from that? I'm dropping out of the conversation before anyone thinks I'm opposing a request for a new emote.

Great. Doesn't really answer my question though. If someone wants new emotes added to the game? I support them. More options are a good thing. Linking them to an in-game gang though? Especially if the request is something that like the OP said is something a specific culture is proud of? Nothing screams 'we like what you do and would like to honor it' more than linking it to a much despised in game gang. So, I don't understand why the author bothered to link the new emote request to the Skulls. Especially since while the Skulls have slavic references, they themselves are not a slavic group. They are a rampant gang recruiting from the people of Paragon City. So I'm still confused.

But why are you referencing the Skulls for this? I'm not understanding. If you want the emote, just ask for it. Why link it to a death worshipping, drug dealing, drug addicted, near nihilistic gang?

One of the first arguments, other than ad hominem attacks, made when you have no argument left: "You're just arguing for the sake of arguing".

How else are you supposed to know you are a small timer except by taking out big timers? 😜

Zone/Mission: Warburg Position: [-1.2 30.5 -444.5] Terrace/stonework between 1st and 2nd floors cuts inward leaving the wall unsupported and the player able to look inside. (Edit: Pretty sure this has been reported previously, but it didn't pop up when I searched for "Warburg".)

Yes. Currently 3rd thread on page 2.

It isn't. Because whether you are "leveling up your science" or "leveling up your magic" or "leveling up your technology" or "leveling up your mutant power" or "leveling up your natural skill" or whatever, it is a continued path of power development. That means developing or learning or gaining new methods/ways of using that power which is shown by the acquisition of more powers. Particularly from your primary and secondary power sets. It is also shown as becoming more proficient with those powers (reducing the endurance cost and recharge showing that you can use those powers more frequently without draining yourself or your ammunition/supply/reserves) and those powers becoming more powerful (adding damage enhancements). We already "level up" our origins by getting powers and slotting enhancements. What powers we choose to focus on is represented by the number of enhancement slots we devote to those powers and how we choose to slot enhancements into them. Except it does. How much is very limited. We were starting to get more of it back on Live, but then the shut down happened and those plans all died. Given that we don't give up any power slots to get them? I sincerely doubt any effort to make them enhance-able will be made. Especially since back on Live their original purpose was as supplemental attacks to get us through the starter levels, not be key powers we use at end game. And while you can't do fire damage instead of toxic damage with your Spines Tanker, you can do fire damage in conjunction to toxic damage on whatever power you slot Armageddon in. Want more fire? Ask for more sets with fire procs. You can currently get a Heavy Pistol power (15 shots, then need to re-run the mission) and we have been asking for a single pistol power set for a while.

Wouldn't 'leveling up your science' as a science origin just be gaining the rest of the powers of your character build and slotting enhancements in them?

Because multi-boxing is so much less of a strain on the servers than someone being AFK....

Counter-argument: It also serves to help keep teams intact when launching from co-op zones like Kallisti Wharf since some missions take you out of the co-op zone and requiring everyone to be the same alignment means they can all go to the next mission together without getting dumped.

I can support this. Especially considering bosses downgrade to lieutenants when they become Supas.

During what moments that affects other players negatively how?

We already have Hardcore Mode. It's called players deleting their characters when they die. Even better, we can choose to end Hardcore Mode any time we want. By not deleting our characters when they die. (Edit: Also, as to Hardcore Mode not existing before City of? I'm pretty sure it did. Just under different names.)

This isn't anything added by HC. This is every mission/arc in the game. Some missions have the NPC give dialogue so others can see what the NPC is saying, but in the end the only thing I can say is either do the arcs yourself to see what is going or read it on the wiki when they finally show up there.

Seriously? That is your response? You are going to post saying another player that per the example does not want double xp needs it like you have any say in the matter at all, and so should by extension/implication have to get double xp despite not wanting it, and then continue like it is a perfectly normal or even acceptable thing to do? Who made you king of double xp to determine who needs it?

And who are you to say what player needs to be getting double xp? The example given was someone that doesn't want it but has a set play schedule.

Hells, if we simply had the option during x2 XP to go to the START vendor and opt out of the x2 XP weekend flat out, that would be great. Instead, we get told "go elsewhere". Like the game isn't for us to play as well.

You are still running a zero sum argument. I wouldn't care how many x2 xp weekends there were if there was an option other than 'go elsewhere' or simply don't get xp. There were no considerations for anyone else other than "go elsewhere" until @Greycat pitched the option for 50% xp to counter it.

Just get x2 XP from the START vendor if you want it. It's cheap, it's easy, it's free.

That is sooooooo not it. If people want to do something, but that something is changed and the response is go do something else? For most of the week? That is hostile. You may not mean it that way, but it is. Your response, regardless of how you intended it, is along the lines of who cares if you want to play the game. Go somewhere else for four days. Do you really think anyone needs anyone else to tell them that there are other things they can do? I assure you no one needs to be told that. I personally do many things over the course of the week. Playing City of is one of them. And being told 'hey, just go somewhere else for the next four days so I and my friends can have the game changed to the way we want to play but you don't' is hostile. Edit again: Because you are very much telling others to stop playing or play the way you want in a game we are already enjoying but don't want to have to put up with something you and others can already opt into any time you want but for those four days our only option is to not play or play with xp turned off.

Just wait until you run the story arc the TF overlaps with. It is longer than the TF and is the exact same missions. (Other than the Clockwork King at the end? Been a long time since I ran that arc.) (Edit: What makes it longer is it has missions the TF removed.) (Edit again: No, there is no Babbage spawn in the story arc. That is a TF thing.)

Yes, there are. If someone wants to play City of though and they don't want and never use double XP, and the response is to go elsewhere? That is pretty hostile. (Edit: And having a smiley face with it does not make it any less so.) It is you saying others don't matter, the game belongs to you and those that think like you alone, so it doesn't matter if those that don't want to play with x2 XP want to play, go somewhere else. That may not be your intent, but that is how it reads. You specifically said "go elsewhere". Not "okay, I get that others want to play different from me, so let's talk about how we can, like maybe asking for it to be an option", which it already is in START. It's "go elsewhere".

And if they don't, like I didn't? How considerate of you.
