I feel like I should be responding primarily since the thread title is deliciously appropriate. http://youtu.be/C7NRw9pArGY Yea, Khan is a fun one post-incarnate to me. I like to join pubbie ones who don't quite understand why the missions are ending so quickly. Tommy 2.0 fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jun 8, 2012 |

I'm glad my quip made it in as the thread title Still, anyone on the fence about this game, seriously, come play with us. I've been playing off and on since just after launch and I always have a good time hangin with my SA bros. This game is a terrible quagmire of godawful sexual weirdos in the "RP" zones outside goonsquad chat though.

This. If you don't have a MMORPG, you have no reason at all not to play CoH. You can play for free and not be gimped at all until the endgame, goons are fun to hang out with and will help you get buff, and you can make fun of the ERP furries. (or be an ERP furry, your choice.)

I'm not really playing much lately but to the thread title. See you guys when I can spend to make a urine blaster edit: oh and I guess I better add for the new thread- if anyone wants Goontown access Oni Elem and I can grant it after you register there, although some new people don't seem to be able to post. Just tell us here or if you happen to see me (@Wreckerbot) in-game. It's not a busy as it used to be but there are builds for pretty much anything you could want to make posted over there.

OneEightHundred posted:Except for not being able to send tells which gimps you pretty hard. Well, yeah. But there's the new LFG chat channel for finding a team, the goon chat channel for goonyness, plus the usual broadcast and local, so that only hurts you when you want to send an invitation to cyber with the futa catgirl vampire in Pocket D. Looking through this page, if you don't spend a penny...

Gynovore posted:Looking through this page, if you don't spend a penny... This is incorrect. From the I23 Patch Notes: Free players may now be invited into SuperGroups. (Free players still cannot create SuperGroups.) And there are certain parts of the forums that Free/Premium Players can post on. They are denoted with ALL ACCESS: as the name of the section. For example: ALL ACCESS: Player Questions. Sadly, ParagonWiki seems to be falling farther and farther behind.

Gonna repost this because it's never gonna get old and it's relevant, I got the F Plus podcast to do an episode on weird and stupid roleplayers. Thre's also a lot of value in the full document I compiled we were reading from. Sadly bits of them are outdated - Zero Hikari has now divorced Ritalin and is in a custody battle over their child, and Velvet Justice has now become a nazi dickgirl.

City of Heroes is a fantastic game and you fence sitters need to give it a go. I can never play it for hugely extended periods of time, but I always come back. I do it...for Tyranno 2.0 and the lizard jews that implicitly exist.

Six whats with the custom character data in your UI? I want that!

Hi posted:Six whats with the custom character data in your UI? Go to Powers/Combat Attributes, right click on anything that looks interesting and hit 'monitor'. A little window will pop up and keep track of it in real time. I use it whenever I (briefly) make a blaster to keep track of the constant small damage buffs, and figure out the best order to fire powers off. I'm not really sure why someone would need to keep constant track of their influence, though. Do your character have stockholders?

I tend to monitor Regen Rate, Recovery Rate, Stamina Usage, and Last Hit Chance on all my characters. Base Damage is pretty useful if you're using Rage, for an easy way to tell if you're crashing.

Critters taunting is so goddamn wacky. I was running Night Ward stuff with Scar (me a SJ/WP scrapper, him a SJ/Nin stalker) and we had a huge meaty group of Black Knights taunting me so fast I couldn't loving hit anything. So I used Self-Destruction.

Hadn't played in like 250 days or so, but finished the new trial last night. I was surprised by how fun it was, in addition to the new mechanics - and the new slot seems ridiculously overpowered, definitely win/win! Looking forward to staff fighting going on sale again (since I was lazy and/or busy and missed it on the 7th anniversary) So.. what's it like on Virtue? I have heard my fair share of horror stories, but it's always fun when goons are around! Is incarnate stuff done.. reasonably? I'd hate to hit a brick wall in character development because everyone is too busy roleplaying to smash faces.

Tom Powers posted:So.. what's it like on Virtue? I have heard my fair share of horror stories, but it's always fun when goons are around! Well, there's always people around. You can DFB your way to 20 in an hour almost any night or weekend. On the other hand, pubbies are always a crapshoot. I've had a few Incarnate fails, but not many. My first Magi success was on Virtue, after several failures. Every RP story you've heard is true, and it's not confined to Pocket D, either. Now, I'm not 100% opposed to RP- I love writing up a cool backstory- but it can be painful to come across two lesbian futa catgirls going at it, especially when you envision the sweaty 300lb guy playing each one.

Oh boy! We're playing that game? Whats the prize? http://i.imgur.com/JdhzZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/teqUg.jpg I think I hit bingo with that last one. Half the fun is sitting in Pocket D looking for all the ~*Roleplayers*~. The other half is waiting for queues to pop. -- So hows SJ? I'm really attached to my SS/WP Brute, but I really dislike the rage crashes. Is SJ a good brawler replacement set? Edit: Linked cause I can't figure out how to timg images.

"Shapeshifting: RPed as emotes." just has me cracking up for some reason. I'm not even sure why, but I find it hilarious.

TalonDemonKing posted:Edit2: Where the hell is the Pocket D bingo checklist? Gotcha covered. I think either bingo is a terrible framework for this, or it needs to be updated, because Cheronne really should have won you that at least once. I mean we have an Evanescence quote, shapeshifting, vampire-but-not, fox spirit (I think fox-people are now as common as werewolves and catgirls), RP powers not in any way referred to in her actual powers (which are just too often telepathy or regeneration) and referring to other characters we don't know about in the bio. EDIT: vv On my worse days, I only have a couple of them (OOC in broadcast and run-on paragraph sentences typically, but the second's intentional because my main is a pretentious intellectual hipster douchebag), which isn't too bad.

I am proud that I only have one character who could fill in one square of that (novel for a bio), and it isn't even an RP character.

# ? Jun 9, 2012 14:38 |

Demon isn't a square, so I get away scott free! I'll fire up photoshop here in about half an hour when I get home for a new bingo sheet. Any suggestions? (ERPer doesn't count as a suggestion)

Going entirely off of bios instead of in-character behavior: -Theme song -Vampire (real or psychic) -Powers clearly unrelated to actual in-game powers -'Go to Virtueverse for more/pictures'

TalonDemonKing posted:Demon isn't a square, so I get away scott free! Theme song. Rape. Bio tells how s/he smells (ewww), what "aura" you "read", and how you feel upon seeing her. "Walkup Friendly" Detailed information on the jewelry she's wearing. A catgirl... but not really... and a fox spirit... but not really... and a vampire, but... Rape. You said 'rape' twice. I like rape.

Youtube theme song link is a glaring omission in that bingo card. Switching voices mid-bio is another. (example: "Scott was born normal with mutant powers" followed a paragraph later by "I love the night and must crush all villainous angels"). I think you can take Katana off of there now, no one plays Katana. Replace with Beast MM or dark control characters who keep their pet summoned all the time. Also add non-combat pets always out. The liger should be an instant win.

Futa is missing off the card. Also, people actually have a few legitimate reasons to be in Atlas and even in Pocket D (Night Ward missions) so they should get the benefit of the doubt. Humbug Scoolbus fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Jun 9, 2012 |

Pez posted:how about standing under Atlas broadcasting "looking for team" when over level 15 People tend to use Atlas for DiB teamup, which is good all through the 20's. I suppose just "using Atlas for RP", but then I've seen dozens of people use the lecture halls in RWZ for some retarded RP I had no clue about. As for Katana, put "Bio says he has a katana when that's not his power." Also, Beast Mastery. Fill in an entire row if he's not VIP, which means he paid $$$ to be an MM on top of paying for a lovely powerset.

Someone post a mids for the most balls to the wall unkillable deathmachine titan wield build that has a damage aura. I dont want fire because I have an irrational dislike for fire aura, but electric for dark armor is good. Money is pretty much not an object, dont make every set purple just to be a douchebag tho. It needs to be def capped, unkillable, and poo poo damage like a dude thats been a vegan for the last decade and just ate a mcrib. If someone posts one I end up liking enough to actually level up and use I will mail you a pvp 3%.
