I've had it for awhile, but I can't believe I got the name Firearms.

Needs more helicopter access.

Can't I be sarcastically serious? Or seriously sarcastic?

That sounds like an admission of guilt if I ever heard one.

Instead of a -RES bonus why not have piercing ammo give a ToHit bonus to the user? If it's penetrating more easily, that should be reflected in a slight improvement in the shot going through the target's defenses.

You can also click on and hold the Chat tab (the green tab in the image above) and drag if back up to the middle or wherever you're comfortable with. I've had it happen on occasion where the Tab is literally right above the text input line and don't remember how it got there, but yeah it's easy to grab and move around.

The problem with a "hardcore mode" deleting a character when it dies is that it completely invalidates rez and self-rez powers. What do you mean I can't rez him because he died? That's when rez is supposed to be used!

Blaster can pull just fine. If there's a tanker to get in between to taunt when too much comes charging in, then even better.

The savvy suggester looks to make suggestions that can utilize existing resources with minimal effort to develop it. For example, people often suggest new power set ideas and include ideas for existing animations and effects, mentioning them specifically so that if the idea were to be considered, the developers would see the possibility of minimal effort needed to make it happen. But even that isn't a guarantee....it's just being smart about what you suggest by knowing the limitations of the development team.

Right, "some" of it. And I'm not saying anyone should be forced to copy anything, but the idea that if one server has done something then the others "respect" it by not doing the same or similar is just dumb. I mean, even though wind control was going to be in the game and partially developed, because another server did it means we'll never see it worked on at HC? That's just lazy but also infuriating because if I want a wind control character but don't like the other server I'm pretty much out of luck.

I feel like this isn't just about people playing the way they want to but also about wanting others to play the way they want.

I don't see a problem with anachronistic costume pieces because comic books are full of time travelers, virtual immortals, and people that just rock those old-fashioned looks for whatever other reason. It doesn't just seem reasonable that some characters seem trapped in the 80s, I almost expect it of some.....and some being trapped in the 70s, 60s, or even the 1800s.

Origin powers are dumb. Throwing blades is natural? Why? Can't the blades be magical? Mutagen is mutation origin? Why can't my science origin create a mutagen? Oh, right, they can because origin powers aren't restricted to origins anymore. They're nothing more than thematic additions, which I think can be cool, but I prefer that the thematics stay flexible enough to let anyone take whatever fits their character concepts.

I really despise this policy. I like some of what some of the other servers do, and I also hate some of what they do. I like some of what HC does and am not a fan of other things. And there is no one server that has all the things I want, so basically I have to pick one or another or play on multiple, and the powers that be can go pound sand for making me have to choose any of those options. Instead of not trying to replicate each other's work, do your own thing and if another group has already done it, just do it your own way... or maybe acknowledge that they had a good idea that's worth copying. At the end of the day, none of them should be treated like their work is untouchable because they did it because all of them, HC included, are still essentially playing around with someone else's sandbox. Sure, HC got the license, but that doesn't make the game theirs.

I don't see the problem with kicking with invisible legs. I'm also against the argument that a lot of the costume items are restricted for clipping because there are plenty that still clip that are allowed, and sometimes people can do things with the clipping that makes sense for their character concept. But instead, arbitrary restrictions were set in place because someone decided that SOME of the clipping is unacceptable. It's a weak argument, and I'm not having it.
