Fair point though. But, just cause you dont know of or follow Marvel, DC, etc…doesn’t mean you can’t know of CoH. I mean in today’s landscape it’s harder to not know of Marvel and DC but I was a kid playing this way back. And back then, Marvel/DC weren’t all that mainstream, if at all, at least in my experience. Also I play it ‘cause it’s good, I’ve been here since ‘06, and cause I want to. Problem? 😝 jk on the snark.

I did say, "almost" 😁 In a comic book superhero game one should expect a certain amount of nerdery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't read comics and only half heartedly watch Marvel/DC movies. I do not know who I am... I don't know why I'm here. All I know is that I must kill. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really wanted to apply real world morality and physics to the game then every zone would look like Boomtown: demolished with all the AOE powers going off as well as all the missed shots. When you miss with that energy beam where does it go? And there would be no one walking the streets except those with mediport privileges. Just play the GAME. 'nuff said. (hah!) That would make the game 10x better and 30x more frustrating for team play but 5x more balanced as it would require reserved use of AoEs and an emphasis on single target.

Well that and everyone would be dead, the civilian death toll would be staggering. I read an article when Man of Steel came out that said over 5k people died because of the actions of the Kryptonians in Metropolis alone. So you have to wonder what the civilian death toll with zones like Boomtown, RWZ, etc are like. Hell even a day to day on CoT sacrifices in Paragon.

ForeverLaxx Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 All I know is that, until the authorities haul my heroes/vigilantes into court on charges, then I must not be doing anything they aren't sanctioning. If that means the villains are "legally" allowed to expire, then so be it. exChampion and exInfinity player (Champion primarily). Current resident of the Everlasting shard.

Player2 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 "Heroes are murderers because everyone doesn't have access to the medical teleport system." Flawed premise and failed attempt at... whatever, I don't know, making heroes look bad? It presumes that all heroes are using lethal force on the villains and not attempting to subdue. It equates "Defeat" with "Kill" without justifiable explanation. Many heroes punch and kick or use blunt weapons and concussive force energies. It's not all bullets and burning and irradiating enemies to the point where they can't survive. If beating people into submission were automatically equated with death, then every professional boxing match and professional wrestling match has been a death battle.... which is not the case. "Heroes are murderers" is a blatantly false accusation meant to provoke a reaction. MURDERERS are murderers. Some people who fight the villainous may indeed fall into that category, and traditionally in the comics these individuals are referred to as anti-heroes. OP needs to stop spreading lies and propaganda against heroes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Praetorian expat, who grew up surviving on the streets of what remained of Tokyo gives zero pancakes about what happens to dirtbags preying on the citizens of Paragon City, or anywhere else for that matter. As seen below, she has no issue exacting retribution for the person that couldn't defend themself, continuing on her way and letting the street sweepers clean up.
