It seems that Cross Punch punched a bit hard at its description and caused all the lines to get double spaced. I had noticed that more descriptions of powers exceed their boundaries, but this is the worst I've seen so far.

Thank you all. Reading through this helps me setup this mission so much better.

Thank you UltraAlt, this is very helpfull. I'll keep the levels of the various groups in mind, but I think the level of the Crey would be leading in this case, which I think are minimum level 30? Just not sure if the Skulls group would become level 30 because the Crey are in there, or because I set the minimum level of the mission to 30 overall. Not sure how that all works. Guess I'll figure that out once I start working on the mission.

Can it be done? I'm working on an idea that involves having 2 different enemy groups in 1 mission. This is my idea: The mission is set in a warehouse. The objective is simple: "rescue hostages and escort them out". Fairly early on in the mission you encounter some Skulls doing shady stuff. You defeat them and move on to the next area. Again you run into some Skulls, defeat them, move on. But in the last room where the hostages are held you run into Crey. You defeat the Crey and work your way back to the exit running into more Crey on the way. I know I could do this using a story arc having 2 missions. One with Skulls and making it a "find clues" type mission. The other would be "rescue and escort" involving Crey. But I would like to know if this could be done in one mission.

...and it came up with this which to me looked like a scene from Steel Canyon. I'm not disappointed.

100%?! with Windows volume at 20%? and not getting deafened? How you do that? My Sound FX is set at 20%. Music and Voiceover at 15%. Windows volume at 32 and game volume at 16. Still getting occasional deafening moments.

Scored 130/200. Had trouble recognizing the red side pictures and I don't know about the Preatorian AV thing. Everything else I had wrong was just me being sloppy.

Wait, there's an arc in which you have to fight yourself? Which arc is that?

My re-re-rebuild Street Justice/Invulnerability brute: Miss Unity, in her Jupiter's Legacy Lady Liberty inspired costume.

My new Broad Sword/WP scrapper: Persian Prince His description: "Escaped the dungeon, didn't get the girl..." And...in case the reference isn't entirely clear for those born after 1998: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Persia_(1989_video_game) Being born in the 80's I grew up playing the game for hours. (yes I am THAT old)

Great to see so many toons together. But ... can somebody tell me where this was taken? I don't recognize the location, environment, Statesman statue or anything.

My toons Star Jewel (left) and her sister Mystfury (right) sharing a pleasant evening in Atlas Park.

THIS! I know, maybe to some this doesn't seem to be such an important fix. But hurling stuff into mobs and watching chat explode on why I just threw a chair/desk/car at someone made me cringe. Me going: "I just launched a pool table into the guy, what are you guys talking about?!"

Thanks Oubliette_Red. It does contain some info on extracting the textures from CoH data files. So that helps. It doesn't say anything about importing them into Poser/Daz3D.

Miss Unity - Street Justice / Willpower Brute WW2 Outfit -- European Union Outfit -- New 2020 Outfit -- -- Miss Unity was created as a response to Germany's invasion of European countries during WW2. While America was working on their Super Soldier project, which produced Captain America, a secret team of European scientists was working on a similar project. During WW2 one resistance member stood out above all others and was selected to become Miss Unity. With the limited resources available her first costume was created blending military grade fabrics with sleek design. After WW2 was over and the European Union was created, the second EU costume was created to represent unity and safety within the boundries of Europe. Several years later, after helping out on multiple international missions, the third costume was created. This costume also reveals the cybernetic arm that was created after she lost her right arm during a fierce battle.

I love these kinds of names...just saying them out loud slightly different really brings out the pun. Ivanna Burnham? ... I wanna burn 'm. Helen Carnate? ... Hell incarnate. Emma Nation? ... Emanation. Anita Rezz? ... I need a rezz? Tera Hurts? ... Terahertz. I usually can't come up with any pun names or overall funny names. Naming my alts is a serious and well thought out process. Closest I ever came to a funny name is: "Auha" (War Mace/WP tanker looking like a caveman, "auha" is kinda the Dutch equivalent of "ouch"). And maybe: "Jekyllyn Hyde" (Savage Melee/Regen scrapper, female. Not sure about the bio for this one...daughter of Dr. Jekyll perhaps?)

Is Fire/Dark a powerful combo? Is it better or worse than Fire/Kin? What is your experience when playing solo with this combo? And when in a team?

Hoi! Ook NL hier. Ben op (Re)Union begonnen, naar Everlasting verhuist omdat daar meer mensen spelen. Maar heb recentelijk weer contact met oude bekende van Union dus overweeg om weer naar (Re)Union te verhuizen.

Hello fellow Unionites! You may (or may not) know me from Star Jewel? Gemstone? Lumitia? Being part of the Precision Rangers and 1AT coalition...? No, doesn't ring any bells? Or maybe it does? I know @Okton, and I've seen @Aeronaut hanging around on the forums somewhere. I've visited the (Re)Union server multiple times, but am currently hanging on Everlasting. The reasons being population and RP. (Please don't think of me as a traitor for moving to Everlasting. *puppy-eyes*) I'm willing to move my alts back to (Re)Union if it means that I'll get to hang out with my 1AT buddies.

With the introduction of Afterburner in the Flight-pool I've created this macro to activate flypose1 with Afterburner. I think it makes using Afterburner a little more attractive: /macro_image "Flight_Afterburner" "Afterburner" "em flypose1$$powexec_name Afterburner"

I have a few villains on Everlasting too. Check my sig for details.

Interesting topic and I really like how you managed to make 4 main kinds of magic, while there may surely be mixed kinds like 1 & 2 combined. For example: I think of Marvel's Doctor Strange. Studied magic but gained extra abilities from his magic cape and the time-stone. Nevertheless, keeping with these 4 basic categories I can put 4 of my characters into some of them: Emberflair, classic number 2, had no magical powers but gained them after merging with a magic space-stone. Omegamax, same as Emberflair. Mystfury, number 4, had no magical powers but gained them after the spells Emberflair used to save her life clashed with the spells Circle of Thorns put on her. Umbraflare, number 3, was created by magic when one of Emberflair's spells didn't go as intended.

Depends on the starting alignment. My heroes go the vigilante route, while my villains turn rogue. This is to ensure that they "remember" their roots.

Remarks: This list is incomplete and may change without notice. It only shows the characters I play the most since like many of you I suffer from altitis and have too many characters to list here. I'm a semi-serious RP'er. Meaning that I usually RP when playing my characters, but you won't see me hang out with other RP'ers in any zone much. Still, if you see any of my characters expect them to reply in-character. == HEROES / VIGILANTES == Star Jewel (Mutation Blaster: Energy Blast / Energy Manipulation) Born with powers but hidden until 16.

IIRC back when on live somebody made a forum post on how to import CoH costume textures into Daz3D/Poser software. I can't find the original posts anymore. Anyone here know about a guide on how to do this?
