Sir Myshkin Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I got incredibly inspired to roll a new character the other night and have been full-in on the RP experience with it so far (which is a tad unusual these days for me) and I've been having a blast with it. I realized that I wanted to come up with a battle cry for the character and that those used to sort of be a thing, there's even still that option on the hero cards when we make our characters but I never really see anyone use those hot keys for more than making fun of Romulus during an ITF. Lets have a little fun! So Players, WHAT IS YOUR BATTLE CRY?

ZemX Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 All of them have the same battle cry: "What could possibly go wrong?" It also serves as my less serious "Ready!" response whenever the lead asks if we're good to go into some death trap or other. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clave Dark 5 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I actually like a really well considered one, and have frustratingly taken a few toons all the way to 50 without figuring out a good one. Three good (and recent) examples and a joke: 1) The Pink Bampfer - Stalker with as many combat TP attacks as I could get, "Deh-dant, deh-dant..." 2) 8-Bit Oracle - "Do you really want to cross that river?" (Based on being an oracle; probably only classicists will understand that one) 3) Catawampus Turncoat - "Hello new friends!" (based off that surname, you see...) The joke: I saw someone who had what was clearly a "cut-scene only" battle cry of "Blah blah blah..." Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game... ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Ignore those farming chores, skip your market homework, play any power sets that you want, and ignore anyone who says otherwise.
