  1. I think your take fails to take into account how AE got more and more broken over time as a storytelling tool. I was all over it for telling stories when it came out back in the day live and had to move on when the damage began to accumulate and was left unrepaired. The only example I can recall right now is the mechanic for dialogue: you walk onto a map and when you got close to some foes, or NPCs (or both), they'd spout whatever lines you put in for them. Both then and now, they spout it as soon as you walk onto a map. Sure, you could cut lines from a story, adjust in one way or another, but this was close to a third of your material that an author can get into the story/game, and certainly broke every story I'd already sunk hours into. I mean, my stuff might not be good, but try cutting out a third of any movie, TV show episode and see what you get. The only thing it still works well for is farming, far as I can tell. Until this is addressed, I don't foresee myself getting back into the AE system,
  2. It's been way too long since I played a Mind Dom (might have to do something about that...), but the reasoning I've heard voiced in the old days way "it doesn't need a pet, Mass Confusion makes your foes your pet." Seemed like a sensible take at the time, but as I said, it's been ages now.
  3. "That's not a setting sun, it's the dawn of a new day!"
  4. I hate you making me laugh at this.
  5. The beast legs rarely look good to me, on either gender. And yeah, the heads often look too small to me on female characters, in general. I do have one with a tiger head and it doesn't look topo bad, but I think I managed that, barely, by maxing out what size sliders it pays attention to.
  6. I thought I read here that was changed to 30:1?
  7. Wait, Croatoa gets a mysterious island during Halloween???
  8. Me, I'm looking forward to trick-or-treat monster stomping on that one street in Sharkhead with six doors close to one another, or that motel on Peregrine Island with like what is it, eight doors? I currently have a Mastermind at something like 40 who already wears a Pumpkin head, so this'll be an easy matter of dropping patches, clicking doors and letting me minions start auto-attacking. It's a glorious holiday chaos!
  9. I was about to mention those animal heads when I made my post! So many green tigers, dark blue wolves!
  10. I got a chuckle out of seeing a newsie outside a tram station calling out the news that DUAL BLADES were a thing now.
  11. Who deletes? I'm always converting them into something I need.
  12. I sometimes page through the random costume rolls to see what comes up. Most of them are awful and ugly. That would make for quite and assemblage of folk though, visually. Like an ugly, ugly assemblage.
  13. This. It also goes up or down depending on time of day, I play at night often and see this a lot.
  14. Love the side eye from the lady there.
  15. Where's Titan Weapons for tankers?
  16. Huh, I was seeing this too but thought I must have been wrong about it. Guess I wasn't!
  17. It's worth keeping in mind that a recent poll we took here showed the majority said they didn't play due to low pop. It's kept me out, but yeah, like the OP, I'll hop over at the drop of a hat if I need a team and someone redside is recruiting. It's a problem with many angles though, and no one answer is 100% right or wrong.
  18. I keep forgetting I even have it on my Corr, but that sounds like a real nice option, I should probably go for that Gaussian proc.
  19. And they say no one plays villains anymore!
  20. I had one or two in the old days and I have one now and the call for them seems to be about the same. I'm not proud, I'll admit I made healers so that the cool kids will pick me to be on their teams first.
  21. I think I've seen someone complain about it before, a month or so back.
  22. I made this same connection on a non-CoH forum, not that it got me many upvotes. 😕
  23. I'd go for robes, baggy tops and trousers, that sort of thing to suggest "soft" shapes, no armors probably. Hoods was a good suggestion up there from mrinku. And muted colors/earthtones.
  24. I've always wondered but never asked anyone: does Afterburner have any real usefulness beyond "wowee, lookit me go!"? I mean, I'm always happy to just hit R and let the city unspool beneath me at the relative snail's pace, but am I missing something else?
  25. I recently teamed with this guy who promised, promised everyone on the PUG a million Inf if he died, he was so sure. He would run ahead like two, three, four rooms at a time. Plus you can guess what happened to him, multiple times. He ended up dropping out wordlessly, without paying anything. 🙂 Running ahead and riling up mobs without dealing with them yourself is something a jerk move. Despite being careful, it's easy for players behind you to come around a corner only to realize some mobs are standing right there, or worse, running towards them.
