What Happened To The Puking Guy In Pocket D?

[dtjunkie]

Sometimes, when the Devs kill your favorite NPC, the best thing to do is try to make some lemonade.

I can't believe roleplayers were that Karen about having to move say 15 feet away from the puker so as not to have their special stories be disrupted.

 

There had to be another reason.

What, no robotic platform high heels of ugliness?

Removed the infinitely barfing guy from the redside area in Pocket D who's vomiting sounds made it unpleasant to roleplay in that half of the zone. He's been gently escorted off the premises and delivered to a proper medical facility to receive treatment for over a decade's worth of alcohol poisoning.

 

 

Huh. Curious.  I was sure he was trying to design a new Projectile Vomiting powerset but died of dehydration before it could be perfected.

This is the saddest controversy ever.

 

I can't believe either side of it cares this much. Or at all.

Honestly it seems like what would happen if an AI were asked to generate a 'CoH Forum Argument.' Most of the replies in this thread are the most token forum kvetching I've ever seen or just trolling, which is basically the same thing at that point. Not a knock against trolling, mind. That's as much an age-old pastime on CoH forums as arguing about stuff is.

 

Frankly, a farcical back and forth about Puking Guy is a lot better than the nonsense that gets tossed around in Powerset threads (or the massive dumpster fires that were the AE threads). >.>

So true. An innocent NPC, a *legacy* NPC! A ****STAPLE**** to this *great* game was *unceremoniously* *EXECUTED* over... what? Players being *UNABLE* to locate their navigation keys and walk a whole 15ft away him? Or, worse still the ***COWARD DEVS*** sheer, uncompromising *DUMBOCITY* that they couldn't just like... mute him?

This is, without a doubt, the greatest tragedy to befall this community since the last greatest tragedy to befall this community.

I know, I know... it's hard. But I for one will NOT give into despair! I will FIGHT!

I propose a compromise!

 

RETURN VOMIT GUY TO POCKET D, HIS DEATH IS MEANINGLESS AND UNNECESSARY, AS WE ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL KNOW AND AGREE GENUINELY WITH ALL OUR HEARTS

 

IN EXCHANGE

 

put him out at the gas station in the void

[Luminara]

Wait!  WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

They gave him the...

 

HEAVE HO!

🤣

I can't believe people are in the forums bitching about the removal of an NPC that was so integral to their experience that they immediately came here to pound on their keyboards, decrying the unfairness of it all.

 

What's that? Puking dude was removed almost 9 months ago and no one noticed until now? Yes, we see now how important he was to you folks. The next time someone wants and example of people 'inventing something to bitch about' I'm just going to link them to this thread.

If the devs really want to punish fire farmers just put him in the Pocket D AE to puke all over the floor. That'll stop them.

I've not seen the puking guy in Pocket D in some time. He was in one of the club's corner's next to a ramp. Always gave me a chuckle when I saw or heard him (even feeling a bit bad for him too), but where has he gone? Is his appearance random in the club?

 

You don't think he can binge drink that much do you?

I mean how much alcohol can he drink anyway... oh wait... I think that's his superpower and he's finally come to grips with it.

He's probably just out on the streets wearing a cape and puking on Hellions and killin' Skulls (aren't we supposed to be arresting them?!)

Future Vomit attack set incoming? Ranged toxic damage ftw! Barf Blast? Spew Shot? Searing Upchuck?

[EmperorSteele]

I think he's still there?

 

The other day I was trying to get a screenshot of my badges list by the redside portal, and I could have sworn I heard him...

 

I would up not using that screenshot and went to Atlas instead because I didn't like the lighting, but yeah, I think he's back?

Nope, he's still gone. Granted, with Pocket D being Pocket D, those sounds you heard could have been... well, any number of things. Especially if you play on Everlasting.

show some sensitivity - people have been too upset to speak about it until now

 

this is the ED of the modern era. the puke era has just ended,  things ahead are looking dark and unknown. and slightly pukey

Yeah, based off of zombies from the mastermind set.

You also get some flaying PBAoE attacks using the /e tantrum

[Skyhawke]

I mean, the Vahzilok can do it...why not us?

[Shenanigunner]

In other fixes, did they finally remove the sunken speedboat from Founder's Falls, or am I just persistently not finding it?

 

Put it back!

 

Ah, I did pull a screenshot once:

I'd support this.

 

heck, i'd support captain three-too-many randomly spawning at various exploration badge locations. it's the accumulation of small things that can provide a familiar nostalgic-ness. have some fun with it.
