[Does the University have a name?]

Back on live, before the cheerleader in her red and white uniform was handing out fliers on the Steel Canyon campus. I asked in the forum what was P.U.'s colors. I was making a cheerleader character and wanted to know. Not getting an answer I made my own university, a rival to P.U. (the chess matches are quite heated 😄 ) : Nebula "Stars" University, When the next update came there was the cheerleader indicating P.U.'s colors.  Does P.U. have a team name?

 

"Go Stars!" "Go, check, mate!"  Actually, my character was a lacrosse cheerleader (I don't think real lacrosse has cheerleaders).

 

You're welcome. 🙂 

 

[Passive Aggressive Behavior]

"passive-aggressive" : an expression used way too often and often times wrong. I'll be glad when snobs people stop using it to feel morally superior. 

 

He was not "P-A", just a "poopie-head" as someone else had said.

This isn't about the cars on the streets turning in circles in the square intersections?   I'm so disappointed...  😄

Mine's a big ask: MM pet customization.

 

Not just add customization of the pets, but also have different weapon options. I'd like to play a hunter, either with rifle or bow, and have the beast pets. Or, I'd like to have fire-based attacks with Hellion pets (that would be a new MM type, I guess). Or, have a lion tamer option: whips and beasts.

First, I agree, an amusement park would be a great touch.  That said, this is war-torn Paragon City, so I suspect it would be a derelict amusement park.  Perfect for creepy "five nights at freddie's" atmosphere.

 

 

I was so disappointed when I first saw the circus tents in St. Martial and found nothing but Carnie mobs.  No midway games, no rides, no fortune teller harking for some of your infamy, no bearded lady show, no strongman competition... nothing but tents. Redo that area (do we really need more Carnie mobs doing nothing?), and copy a smaller version to blue side somewhere. 

 

Edit, add: those specialty shows could have a one mission contact inside, something that could be written up by players through AE and converted to real game missions.

everybody wants wind control (I've never heard one complaint)

 

what is your most pressing issue! (rather than guessing my vote, I'll tell you - tough/weave without punch/kick)

 

Yes, keep Beanbag. 

 

Wind Control...  meh.

Definitely!  Some of the semi's I've seen remind me of the LTI trucks (shipping company my gramps worked for in the 60's-70's) ...

 

Notice the license plates have NAD?  It does not mean "Not A Decepticon", despite what some rumors say.  😉  

[Did Paragon City Ban any cars made after 2013 or so?]

They all have chrome bumpers. When was the last time cars were made with chrome bumpers en masse? 

 

I had a 1974 Z28 Camaro (automatic 😞 ) with chrome bumpers.

I'm still amazed at the names I can find available on Excelsior.

 

Recent additions include:

• Bikini
• Expectation
• Irish Cream
• Little Trickster
• Overpowering
• Personal Escort
• Stone Time
• Thunder-Blade
• Wind Woman

 

I wonder if Wind-up Woman (or Wind-up Man or any other Wind-up xxx) is taken?  Which suggests a new costume back piece: gigantic wind up key.

The tragedy of MMORPGs

 

No one wants to lead.  Even when it is their idea.

 

Considering I was asking where and which contacts to see, I might not be a good choice for a leader.

 

Maybe I should rephrase it: If people want to be part of a regular-time team of pulp-type heroes, I'd join, any server. 

 

[a pulp-based path from 1 to 50?]

I've been interested in pulp-style adventures of late, but can't seem to get a handle on a COX's character pulp-like path. I figure COT has to be involved (Oranbega maps scream "pulp" to me, and I don't mind those maps). 

 

Where does one start (hero side)?  Azuria, right?

 

If people want to start a regular-time team of pulp-type heroes, I'd join, any server.

I think that for any character that gets a snipe, it is programmed to miss the first time you use it.

 

same goes for assassin's strike 

 

Also, if the target is one that has an attack you don't want to be the victim of (I'm looking at you, Malta Sapper). 😞  

[Officially Unofficial Weekly Discussion #28: Pew Pew Pew, Boom (A discussion of Blast Sets)]

If the set does not have a Sniper attack I'm not interested. 

I do like the ice set for themes, but... no snipe.

 

I like the animation of Rad's Proton Volley, but not that the enemy can shoot back between the first and second pulse because mobs have instant reaction. Perhaps replace the -Defense (doesn't do much if the mob dies from the attack) with a high-magnitude stun with a very short duration to stop that?

which is even more hilarious because meteor ALWAYS hits exactly where you aimed it only for some schmuck standing right next to it to look down at the massive impact crater and dust off his shoulder while wondering what happened to bob the guy he was talking to

 

They should add a slight chance to leave a pair of boots where one of the mobs was standing, especially if another mob got missed.

Probably in those areas between the zones. 

 

Long long ago I asked on the forums what the university school colors were.  I created a character who was a cheerleader for the lacrosse team (joke being lacrosse teams don't have cheerleaders) and wanted to know what colors to use. With no reply I went with a bluish color & white.  A few months later the cheerleader in red & white uniform showed up handing out pamphlets in front of the Steel Canyon university's main building.  You're welcome.  😄

This.  Posi 1 is great.  That amazing moment when you see people charging towards the City Hall steps and you know it's all about to go down in flames.  I love it.

 

That's one of those moments when I laugh and cry at the same time.  

[Good news:new players. Bad news: horrid positrons]

I have no friends in the game any more so I have to PUG the TFs. Except Posi 1, I solo that in a speed run style (stealth everything possible). It's amazing how much you don't have to fight compared to PUGs who think in terms of XP.  There's plenty of XP out there, let's not treat non-kill-all missions as kill-alls, please.
