Scarlet Shocker

People are leaving in their droves. They're leaving other games to come back home!

a personal message from yours truly in the words of a great man who inspired this place; "'Nuff Said!" Welcome home

It's always been traditional that titles don't last forever - usually a week from memory. Consider them a temporary badge to be cherished for as long as you have them

I thnk it might work but it'd be necessary to be selective about powers. Certainly the pet can look very glassy

which helmet might that be?

I am Spartacus!

Yes there is a case for reflections especially now that costumes can reflect the PC costume. Perhaps some time in the future... this idea does seem to be growing an inordinate number of legs which leads to... millipedes!

awkward? Some might say it's hard!

That is an excellent point. I had considered those... I haven't really enjoyed Kheldians much so I excluded that from my thinking, and I've had a few Illusion characters which led me to want to try something else. Rad is a very solid option once recoloured but I'm working on completion of a Mind/Rad dom currently so wanted to avoid another. I have gone for a Spines/Ice brute as part of this project and it certainly looks the part but I've not had much opportunity to test its mettle, though I'm looking forward to it!

HORSE!

The very same thought struck me the moment I read the news. Was that particular flag used for that reason?

They don't play that. Their game of choice is People & Palaces (Advanced Ed v3)

Cromulent!

Seems our boy @eldriyth has missed a point or six. Still if he wants to see some up coming speedy development why doesn't he offer to sponsor the salary of a dev? Problem solved, everyone happy, wahey!

So what's the timeline on the release of City of Heroes 2?

The concept here is more important than the actual efficacy of the toon. It actually helps in one sense that the main character is a weaker alt than the alter-ego's alt, if that makes sense. The tough bastard only comes out when things are... tough. I'm having fun playing all of them so far!

I must confess to feeling a tad choked right now. Something in my eye I think. Well done to everyone concerned, all who made this possible.

not like when we were kids eh? Nostalgia would keep us going for millennia. Kids nowadays... no staying power. Pssshhhhhht

It's a magical place

So many concepts, so little time Well technically that's not strictly true. I'm time rich but I have so many different toons all half cooked. I have characters on all sides, on all servers at various levels. In one sense, that's a good thing - I'm able to join in with events in most situations with most types of AT (with some exceptions; for example I don't believe I have a single stalker) meaning I can provide assistance at most levels whatever the circumstance. But it also means it takes my focus away from the characters I may actively wish to be concentrating on. If you've read other threads here recently you'll have a sense of where I'm at - but then I get pulled away from that project and hey presto, something else comes along. And then somebody mentions an AT/build/scenario and I'm like "that sounds interesting what if I were to X, Y, or Z that and..." and then I'm off down the road with another squirrelly strangeness. This game is great for altaholics, it gives us so much scope. Working from memory I think I calculated that there are 160+ variants of Controller playable (and possible three builds per character) alone. That means there's probably well over 1000 different builds possible in the game (feel free to count them if you are so inclined) which is... staggering. I've never known a game so rich in its player content. So how do you guys manage your altitis? What do you do to prevent distraction... or do you? Are you an altaholic or are you able to stick to the plan you set yourself avoiding distractions?

Is this the end? Someone turn the heating up its bloody baltic in here! 🤣

Perhaps in this instance the fact that she's going from Dom > Brute that will "tell the story better" but yes I've heard here and elsewhere that Doms are lagging behind as an AT generally. Perhaps that's why there are so few about Crupper = Corruptor

so it seems I'm replicating this on Reunion too, with an Ice/Thorn/Ice Dominator with a Spines/Ice/Ice Brute. Both ATs are way out of my comfort zone so it should be interesting!

I felt the need to go for something else... in part for the sake of variety as well as all else. But I do appreciate your input. I also have added a bluish-green tint on many powers and costume pieces; great minds and all that.
