Twisted Toon

The only times I've done that is when I've had maybe 20 items, and there was absolutely no one in line...and the checkout girl was cute bored.

What I think should be done with the Rocketboard, and others like it, would be to suppress the effects of the toggles, instead of just turning them off. I can still see click powers being grey'd out. How easy that is to accomplish, I don't know. I'm fairy sure it is not high on the Dev's list of things to "fix".

I wonder if they make that cigarette paper out of cat hair. I'm allergic to cats. But, I tend to get severe headaches when I'm around cigarette smokers. Pipe smokers and cigar smokers don't affect me the same way. I don't care for the smell of either, but they don't give me headaches.

Texas its a whole other country... Spent 18 hours of a 24 hour drive going through Texas. Might have been 16 hours.

Sounds like you were living life in the fast lane.

I had Disposal Bot 2000, a Fire/(not Kinetics) Controller. An A.I. Android that was built to clean up a Super-group's base. He decided that he wanted more out of life and went off to clean the streets of Paragon City. If I were to remake him, I think I'd go with a fire/fire Dominator...

If you're a master of the Mystical Arts, you might be a Strange...

Wait, so, I'm the only one here that drinks water?

Just because they were able to shoehorn many things into the game doesn't mean that they had planned to implement those things from the beginning. How long did it take for them to add color customization to the game? The game definitely wasn't designed for that. It wasn't even a twinkle in the Lead Designer's eye at launch. I'm also fairly certain that they had zero plans for Invention Enhancements at launch as well. PvP is a completely different dynamic than, IOs, Power color customization, and Bases. Good against remotes is one thing. Good against the living, that's something else.

I think if it was planned for in Beta, it wouldn't have taken 4 issues (over a year) to get implemented in such a hap-hazard manner. I do not think that the game was designed with PvP in mind.

I might count it as "odd", maybe. Never had a GM post in one of my threads.

So, BBQ sauce is acceptable...

I don't know. Broccoli Brain might just be humorous enough let them get away with it...

I have a Magic themed Dark/Dark scrapper.

I've always thought Babylon 5 was a good series...

If you went with 13 months with 28 days each, you'd be 1.25 days shorter than the current year cycle we have now. then you could have Inebriary last more than 1 day. And as a bonus, all the months can feel February's pain. I also remember there actually being snow in the winter in Arkansas, as opposed to a slightly more damp month or three. Don't think that actually has to do with the length of the month, or year though.

Unfortunately, not even the Devs can enforce courtesy in every aspect of the game. Especially a portion of the game that pits players against other players. If they tried, the game would become a ghost town. Being courteous to others should be the responsibility of the individual, not a governing body. Key word being responsibility.

Entering through AP, hang a right and hug the wall, that will take you almost all the way to the bridge for Julius. It's a lot easier now with the use of Ninja Run.

That was the point of my post. I was a participant, admittedly unwilling, in PvP. I thought that it was a cheap shot on their part. I didn't complain, I just left the zone and did something else for a while and came back later. As for the always moving part, you do realize that when you attack, it locks you in place for a period of time. Also, there is some leeway on the distance the target moves after a melee attack is activated. Even Assassin Strike. Decent Stalkers can leverage that to their advantage. They don't even have to be great at it. Anyway, enter a PvP zone and expect to be participating in PvP. Whether you want to or not. That way, when you manage to not get ambushed, or attacked at all, it's a pleasant surprise. Glad you found that enjoyable. 😉

Just make them fuzzy handbuffs and it's all good...😏

There is not a whole lot of skill or risk involved when 2 stalkers double AS a controller already in the middle of a fight with a group of NPCs. Would you consider that PvP? That happened to me, multiple times, when the game was live. Same amount of risk as when 2 Player Characters trade defeats in the arena or a PvP zone. Both would be considered PvP. Both would also be considered cheap victories as well.

I was just about to say, "A guy named Ashley J. Williams"

Is that Mender Derek's fault, or are we blaming him for everything for the next few months? 😋

I don't really see a way that it can be policed without having a GM standing on every corner running the game with -demorecord going so they can "review the security footage", so to speak. Unfortunately, in most cases of emote harassment, it comes down to "he/she/zee said, he/she/zee said". Which, would be extremely difficult, if at all possible, to deal with in a fair manner. It's not something that I would readily foist upon our volunteer GMs. They have enough on their plate to deal with as it is.

I know it can be difficult in this day and age, but that thing called common sense can be used to determine when "continuing to interact with another player after being asked to stop" is harassment. continuing to use the slap emote on someone standing at the train station after they have repeatedly asked you to stop would, in my opinion, be considered harassment. Attacking the same person multiple times in a PvP zone, would not be considered harassment. There are some caveats to that last one, however. If you are intentionally hunting only that one person in the PvP zone when they just want to be left alone, I would consider that harassment. But, the way to avoid that would be to leave the PvP zone.
