After more checking, not a single one of my characters would survive the change to silver in any recognizable way at all. Why did they remove such a large number of the old costume parts from the free client? I mean I understand making everything new only available in the shop, but every single costume I have gets turned into "man wearing bullet proof vest" when I check what they're look like without buying new pieces. Shame, I wanted to play Mecha Monkey again.

By the way, some news hidden away on the forums: Earth powerset coming in December. Brick category. Potentially Wind too. Unarmed review apparently has some awesome new animations. Also planning has begun on a new zone.

So Blood Moon is coming up - is it still possible to earn the costume pieces that are in the store, or is buying them with cpoints the only way to get them nowadays?

So here's a hero I made after spamming the random button a million times. He's a gladiator that hails from a dystopian post-apocalyptic future where the ruined world is ruled by sorcerer kings. He came across a time portal and now fights to prevent armageddon. It wouldn't let me name him Terminus for some reason so he's Turminus.

It's because CO started as a Marvel game, remember? The filter list has nearly every character to ever appear in a Marvel game plugged in there. It's looser about DC. Incidentally, DCUO lets you use quite a lot of DC character names. Not just minor 2-3 issue guys either. I saw a Katma Tui recently, and someone in Goon Patrol made a lot of them. Asimo posted:Handy. New powersets are always good, and there's definitely room for fleshing out the "elemental" powersets. Any hint on what the new zone would be though? I know they mentioned redoing Lemuria in some way, but unsure if that's what's meant or not. He said it's very, very preliminary. Basically it's "We're going to make a new zone eventually, what should it be?" Level range, size, locale etc. haven't been decided yet. Also I have a new idea for a CC category.

But yeah, I imagine they just pulled up a list either from Marvel or self-compiled by a lawyer and threw it in. It's somewhat annoying because there's a lot of otherwise simple or common words that have been taken by some bit character and locked out. Fortunately you can get around this sometimes with, uh, creative spelling or multi-word names.quote:He said it's very, very preliminary. Basically it's "We're going to make a new zone eventually, what should it be?" No need to bug anyone. I'll get a jump on this months ask Cryptic. Disclaimer: The following is in development and subject to change Powers: Earth framework (Brick) this year -December. Potentially Wind as well. Earth AT (potentially Wind as well) Unarmed review (Seriously the anims so far are crazy A-MAZE-ING!) Unarmed AT's (potentially a Tank and DPS) Infernal Review and AT Continued bug fixes and improvements Zone: (Very preliminary, very early) Planning now, designing next then building (Nick needs to finish Alerts and Events before he can start blocking the new zone) Considerations- -Size and scope -Types of content -Potential for Increased level cap -Location (leaning towards city but we are discussing) We are really excited about what we have planned for this year and next. More info as there are updates to share. Remember.. just because I dont mention a power set in an ask cryptic or SotG doesn't mean it is not happening. The earth set has not started yet so there are no real updates. Hope this info helps... Thanks a ton!

CC advertising is fun. You guys should stop making me do all the work and try it. Plus I'm posting this because humor is wasted on the Contests channel idiots.

(9:34:38 PM) ReinWeissRitter: Superhero Celebrity Endorsement! (9:34:53 PM) ReinWeissRitter: I want to see a costume that, if done properly, immediately makes me think of a particular real world product (9:35:34 PM) ReinWeissRitter: No Booster Gold NASCAR patches here. I want something like Duff Man, Pepsiman, the Burger King (9:35:44 PM) ReinWeissRitter: Note: If you actually use one of those I will disqualify and also punch you (9:43:32 PM) ReinWeissRitter: So to summarize, the categories snuck pucked thus far include: Historical Figures Made Appealing to Anime Nerds, Best Simultaneous Parody of Deadpool and Hulk Hogan (9:43:33 PM) ReinWeissRitter: and Superhero Celebrity Endorsement (9:43:56 PM) ReinWeissRitter: I also snack packed Newfoundland but we decided to drop that category because Newfoundland sucks and also you can only judge so many people using fishing hats and tornado flight (9:44:15 PM) ReinWeissRitter: So Newfoundland is out (9:44:27 PM) ReinWeissRitter: Plus their timezone is off by a half hour and we just don't know how to schedule that (Questions about historical figures category) (9:48:07 PM) ReinWeissRitter: It can be anyone. From Anne Frankenstein to George Washingtonofexposition (9:48:21 PM) ReinWeissRitter: I don't know what Frankenstein has to do with anime I just really wanted to say Anne Frankenstein (9:49:18 PM) ReinWeissRitter: Now, Anne Frank as a ninja?

Kinda advertising a CC here, can you move this to TALKTALK? (9:53:02 PM) ReinWeissRitter: This is a CC advertisement (9:53:26 PM) ReinWeissRitter: I'm doing a new stream of consciousness style of advertising.

Asimo posted:All accounts I've heard have been along the lines of "horribly". In addition to being crippled by SOE management as expected, there was a pretty severe drop off early in, and the game launched not long before PSN got hacked, meaning it was taken offline for a month. Which had the predictable effect on player retention. I imagine both CO and CoH going F2P haven't helped either. Whoops. My friend told me to never take a power set, just use the the basic abilities. That pretty much killed it for me.

I'd say save that for the next one. We've already chosen what we should do for this round, and we also don't want to exactly wear out people with a ton of categories on the flipside.

I have a second dilemma. The Contests channel is really stupid and I can't use the word "gently caress". It's just not the same if you can't call the category that. vvv God drat it why didn't I think of that? I mean that honestly, I am way more clever than you and should have thought of that. vvv Also it's all set. Those are the 5 categories. Now we need the monies.

I'm still mystified why skeletal defects seem to be associated with female attractiveness in the minds of some people. Give that girl some scoliosis, knock knees, and an abnormal pelvis that will make childbirth difficulty... sexy!

I used to really like this game. Now it seems that it has been relegated to my boredom bin. Every time a new costume pack or hideout gets released, I get it, fly around with my new shiny toys for 5 minutes, and then move on. I want to like this game as a superhero game so much, but I just can't.

It's lot less of an issue with super speed, in my experience. If you tap the jump button right (a very short tap) while running at full speed, you can make pretty high jumps. To give an idea, I can get up onto the short side of the RenCen awning from ground level using this technique. Burrowing, however, really needs something to augment it. Sure, it hides you, but it takes 4 seconds to activate, and you can't cover anything vertically at all.

The power says it raises your jump height, but it only seems to do it if you just let momentum do its job, as opposed to doing a full controlled jump.
