I'd rather this thread be cleaned up of comments about users personal beliefs- and cleaned up of personal attacks rather than locked, because it does bring up how intentionally problematic Tyrant/Emperor Cole's internal thoughts are - and uses that internal dialogue to laminate him as a bad person.
That said continued personal attacks will result in actions taken, and a suggestions and feedback thread about NPC dialogue will be locked before it can fruit actually useful discussion on good ways to portray NPC's personal views while still fitting within a PG-13 game.Content Guidelines
The following is considered prohibited content

Hate speech:
- Hate speech is defined as anything threatening or abusive towards a specific group based on their race, religious beliefs, political affiliation, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity
I know the HC developers (?) didn't come up with the content in the game that I posted. If you allow a female to be called a name in the game like hussy, harlot, whore, hooker these are derogatory terms, it's allowing hate speech, just because a member of the community suggests artistic license doesn't mean that it isn't hate speech in regards to gender, that's like saying (Insert slur name here and let's discuss how that's okay to use this slur name).
Words like Harlot used in this way ,would be called called sexual bullying that means that this term is cultural misogyny. "any behavior which degrades someone, singles someone out by the use of sexual language, gestures or violence, and victimizing someone for their appearance." Kids play this game, women and girls play this game. The prevalence of this kind of thing encountered in every day life can be overwhelming depending on where you live and what your immediate culture/schools/work place allow to continue without support and saying no this isn't okay. So then seeing it in a game it's literally like wtf? Who is the person behind that and why would they think that is okay to do.
It feels odd to explain this - Basically if you wouldn't call your boss if she was a female that name to her face, then why would you continue to allow it in a game when your content says that it's considered prohibited.

Part of what sexual harassment falls under is things like; abusive, sexualised name calling and insults (such as calling someone a slut, or frigid) The person behind the writing of the text for this character, put sexual harassment into the game. In this response to me, it feels like you are saying "Let's discuss how sexual harassment is okay because it's fictional" yet there's someone behind the input of that. So I don't get that. I definitely won't be playing that arc again and I suggest if you're a female and have had to deal with this kind of thing in your life you avoid it.
I know characters like The Joker were bad characters and the Penguin and scores of other villains and I didn't come across them calling Catwoman a slut or other derogatory name. Again I am offering my opinion. On this thread, It's my opinion and the amount of people who are like, You're wrong (for having an independent opinion that most likely doesn't come from their lens of life experience?) - or offensive things just ick.
This may help in determining if it's okay to put in a game as this has everything to do with the gender of a female being called a Harlot :
Could we make the person that he's calling a derogatory name with a disability and make Cole call the person in a wheel chair a derogatory name in game based on their disability? because that's a protected class.
Maybe it could be their ethnicity. It could be one of these things that's not supposed to happen because of the code of conduct; race, religious beliefs, political affiliation, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity. Because right now it's not cool that it's being said about a female character based on what she's wearing in a game even if it's fictional because again, kids and women play this and I'm sure there are men out there who dislike that as well, even if they're not popping into this thread.
and on this thread, there are tons of responses and people aren't like yep not cool to call a female a harlot in the game.

When I was referred to myself I was referring to the hypothetical statement in the second half of my sentence. Sorry if that confused you.
So, let's go with your original statement: "not cool." Ok, let's assume that a game dev reads your thread. This statement tells him nothing. It doesn't tell him what the actual problem is and therefore he will not know how to solve it.
So no. Please don't do a long educational piece where you write condescendingly to all of us plebes, and attempt to amaze us with your genius. Believe it or not, you're not the only person on this forum who's well aware of all of the issues you've mentioned. Instead, please just answer my original question. What specifically is the problem?
And please understand, you're not answering that question for me, but you are answering it for the developer who will probably read this thread.
You're insulting & I think you think that I am talking down to you yet I'm not, I put out something I would like changed in the game because it's offensive even based on the current code of conduct, and you are saying this: " and attempt to amaze us with your genius." I won't engage with you past this comment as it's a passive aggressive insult. Have a good day.

How is this not cool?
Do harlots not exist? Do they not tend to dress in a specific way? Are you offended by the word itself? What specifically is the problem?
Just saying "not cool" is much like "do better". It's a complaint that tells me nothing and doesn't even hint at what I can do to fix the problem.
Before I spend a long time doing an educational piece on why it's not cool.
Just asking you first based on this part of what you typed "It's a complaint that tells me nothing and doesn't even hint at what I can do to fix the problem."
Are you a person that would be fixing this problem? and that is not to be disrespectful. That is literally me wondering if I need to spend a long time doing an educational piece about sex labor, detrimental wording, education on misogyny, and how patriarchal viewpoints contribute to crimes against sex labor workers. Which I will do if you are the person this needs to be addressed to, if it is not then I will leave it to the people who fix problems to determine whether they want to inquire further about this. Thanks

"a woman who controlled shadows and dressed like a harlot," Edited for clarification: This was the mission it was in Emperor Cole's Personal Story (Solo Mission) Speak with Praetor Sinclair

I watched as Paladin was finally constructed. I then followed him. He then passed the AE building and was immediately zapped by Police Drone. I posted in help channel and others confirmed it has happened before. (also someone stated that Skyway Babbage has had same issue, but did not mention location on map)
Thanks for keeping game alive
Probably because Paladin was in game before AE. Do they need police drones near the AE building? Hey Dev's maybe get rid of those police drones if they're not needed?

I'd live in Atlas and work in Warburg as an ice cream vendor riding around in my little ice cream van feeding all the local citizens creating joy they'd stop me as I'm passing through in my little ice cream van where all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy. Then I'd diversify into Siren's call and Bloody Bay. No desire to go into Recluse's Victory though they're just too cranky. When I hit retirement I'm going to sell balloons on Spanky's boardwalk in a rocking chair with a dog at my feet. Probably move to echo Galaxy City to a retirement community.

While waiting in the HIVE for the raid to start and listening to some groovy music in the background, it occurred to me that it would be appealing to have the Devouring Earth who apparently like to gather in twos at minimum and stand in long lines, to engage in the a Chorus Line animation. Developers can you get on that?
Thanks xoxo

This sounds like something is triggering as a Taunt.
Or there's something doing the 'confuse' power on him?

I don’t know what the Null represents, but to answer your other question:
yes, Clarion is the only Destiny with status protection. However the Melee Hybrid power also offers some status protection.
Thank you Wavicle

Hello, On the picture below what is "null"? Also is Clarion the only Destiny incarnate power that provides status protection?

Hi - this was on Excelsior server last evening (early morning). I was on the Market Crash task force on my level 50 came out of the first mission and then used the teleport to mission power. I ended up under the map but had fly and could fly up and click the door and went into the mission right off.
This is what it looked liked under the map, the door I entered is right above my character

Hi in Atlas Park at this location [941.9 41.4 -1148.0] however, there are multiple locations around this area where citizens who are lying on the ground do the same thing. This is the one that spawns the quickest after defeating the hellion, there is a hellion guarding a citizen lying on the ground and they reappear quickly when defeated the citizen gets up and the slides across the ground it's legs doesn't move, (like a zombie) their knee caps aren't working.

Maybe move off Everlasting while waiting for resolution from the devs, because I can’t seem to replicate this sort of sexual attention on Excelsior or Indomitable in spite of all my Fiery farmers being hawt female thirst traps. Everlasting sure does sound like the unofficial perv server when I read the forums though.
There's pervo comments on Excelsior, that have made about genitalia in group/team chats before and I warn them and if they continue I kick them from the team, in my opinion the majority of people don't want to hear what they're saying. The person then sent me a tell - saying it's a teen rated game and I said it's really not go read the EULA agreement on the forums. I then blocked them.
As I read further on in the thread*** not from this one I am quoting I have this comment to anyone posting or visiting this thread - As a reminder (and an education if you haven't heard this before) it's not about the clothes/costume someone even your online big busted female character or muscle bound male character is wearing, we don't blame any perverts activity and targeting other people, on the people who are the recipient of their behavior we blame it on their (the pervs) active decision making skills to visit their perversion on others. Thanks

Never noticed the winter zone and you all did a nice job in it, I like the comet, aurora borealis, the halo around the moon and your homages to your friends as well as the diversity to the holidays.

Hello,
On most ATs when you drag the power over to the chat box and drop it in, it gives you the name of the power and then you can click on it and it pops up with information about it. On a Psi melee attacks I have it doesn't do that, the name appears in the chat box but the power doesn't have the brackets nor is it clickable to get a description. This does this on my Psi Scrapper and Psi Tanker
Thanks
Example on a scrapper of what it isn't doing correctly and what it looks like.
What it's supposed to have, these are other attacks I have on the same character.

In an alignment mission in Atlas for vigilante, there is a Frostfire mission with a bunch of other characters, Sardonic, and Pyrelord are two of them - On Pyrelord on his bio/description it says "Eery" instead of eerie (or at least I believe is the word that was meant to be put there).

If you're referring specifically to patch notes for the Page 3 content update going to Brainstorm for public testing, Our goal is November.
Today's small patch was a fix for the Sinister Summoner badge art at low graphic settings and reducing Black Whip to an AV class enemy so he is quicker to defeat for players who want to get that badge on large numbers of their characters.
A forum post for today's patch notes should be coming shortly.Because in my brain Page 3 is turning into something, it is like the new version of "Freem" I made this.

Good idea. The seismic set was a lot of fun when they created that.
