Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Positron says they are working on endgame content that will make you eager to dust off your 50 and quest again. Expect it within the next year. In the meantime, I have a pretty nice Invuln/SS tanker build for I5. At the CoH boards, look in the Player Guides section for "Kara's Watch Out for Self and Survive Build".

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game My builds for the controllers are complete, and Kara just met her new hero, Dr. Science!!!!! Steve Sheridan is Dr. Science! I think Kara has a new friend! He just invited Kara to a sci-fi convention in Crey's Folly and told her to practice her Vulcan neck pinch! Fun! Maybe she can play in a Hero campaign while there. I bet I get to bash heads AND play while there! Rachel Lokison, Illusion/Radiation Controller: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=3674441&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1#3702629 Reality Shifter, Gravity/Kinetics Controller: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=3674215&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1#3680854 And Lemming, congrats! Let me know if it rivals CoH's fun!

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Huzzah! Got in my pre-order disk (originally ordered July 31st, then they canceled it due to their Customer Service's inability to comprehend the English Language, and reordered), used the peel method, and upgraded CoH successfully on first try. Huzzah!!! Now back to tweaking my Illusion/Radiation Controller. I think my Gravity/Kinetics Controller is ready to declare as perfect. Then back to Dr. Kara Lokison as she collects BP Spirit Masks for fun (Archmage accolade preperation).

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Curses, I stand foiled! Garou, you beat me to making such a "generous" offer. I was thinking the same as you.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Huzzah!!! Kimmie, who just got an email from Gamestop for the pre-order disk shipping at long last. And who is working on Grav/Kin and Ill/Rad controllers in addition to leveling Dr. Kara Lokison.

Re: "Rocket torpedo" in HERO? Sonar does indeed make life hard for marine life. High pressure sound waves in the water will rupture air bladders in fish. There indeed does seem to be a link with ambient shipping noise, sonar, and aquatic mammal beachings. Aquaman would not be a happy camper.

Re: "Rocket torpedo" in HERO? Bear in mind that such a weapon is a dead shot weapon. You fire and hope it hits (hence the nuclear warhead payload to guarantee a big explosion, like our old Subroc weapons http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-44.html ). Remember, being supersonic, it can't use sonar (Sound Navigation and Ranging) to detect its target, nor do course corrections. You dead reckon where to fire it at, fire, and hope it kills with a huge explosion. Like the Subroc, it practically ensures your own death for launching. See, in order for you to make the detection from their own emitted sound waves via your passive sonar, you have to be within a few miles yourself. If you have a nuclear warhead (you will on this weapon), the shockwaves will get you. Bad. Kimmie, former Sonar Technician.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Been glancing at motherboard/AMD 64 combos and PC 3200 ram myself of late... Then I will once again unlock my GeForce 6200's extra pipes and clock it back up to 6600 performance... Being poor sucks, but I have my needs! Kimmie, who also applied for a slot in DDO and Auto Assault without a response to date.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Par for the course for me. My last beta was the Diablo 2 Stress Test. Big whoop. Well, I was offered a chance to beta BloodRayne for the PC (first one), but I didn't feel like photocopying my driver's license to send it in. I am a slightly suspicious sort. Well, by not letting me into the CoH Beta, it cost the company my money from the retail release all the way up to November when I finally decided to get over my anger and try it out. Cryptic didn't need my money anyway. The DVD release was what brought me in. For CoV, I pre-ordered because I want to see the other side, and support the company. Being in a short last round beta would be nice, but that is not why I pre-ordered. I pre-ordered because I still find CoH fun, and trust in Zeb Cook. I own enough of his gamebooks. Still, for someone who first preordered on July 31st, I sure would like to receive my bonus disk soon. Kimmie, still waiting.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Originally pre-ordered on July 31st before the pre-order bonus was mentioned. On my 3rd communication with Gamestop.com to confirm whether or not I would receive the pre-order (after others said they had received theirs), they canceled my order. Reordered online 2 weeks ago, still waiting.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game RJ, Professor Plasma will only be able to do the last two contacts' archs, but will unlock the Croatoa TF. I just hit 35 with Kara and would love to get together with 5 others to do the TF and unlock the witch hat costume item.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Blue, on Justice I have a 12 Ar/EM blaster, 9 Rad/Psy Defender, 7 DM/Regen scrapper, and misc. other lowbies. If any of them could be of assistance, let me know and I will level them all to 10. Won't be able to have a variety of powers, but I will be more than happy to SK up and help in any way I can.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game I wonder if I can start that CoT arch far enough from hitting 35 as I can in order to get the Croatoa TF unlocked. I plan to grind up there around 35 for the badges, but I want to unlock the witch hat. I think I'd look cute in it! And yes, Kara WAS told by Dr. Vahzilok that she wasn't ethical enough to work with him. Seems he views her Human Perfection Project as just another Eugenics program... Well... I don't know if Kara will experiment on heroes prior to being allowed to fall once that patch is added to CoH and CoV... After she falls, all bets are off! If she offers you any enhancements of inspirations... Make sure they are factory sealed still. Or else you might find yourself a bit more "perfect". Maybe with power claws and enhanced resistance...

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Lemming, Kara flew up to Croatoa at 34 and was passed along by the contacts to Kelly. I already killed 10 (18 actually, the counter wasn't decreasing) Tuathas and am up to the escort mission that gives the bow. If Vetali is on Champion, I can fire up the game, do the missions up to that point to match you, and Kara can help you corral the Fir Bolg in that mission. Kara's currently trying to get the last arch for 30-34 against the CoT's Library of Thorns, but can pass on that to help you. Also, I have the mission offering the War Wall Defender Badge. If Vetali is up for it, we can do that to free up a mission slot for Kara before heading to Croatoa. All depends on you and I both being on Champion. If you are, give me a shout out!

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game What was his tank's build? Fire's resists were not lowered, and Stone Tankers with Granite are just as tough as ever. Invuln was the Primary that lost 2/3rds of its resists, and we are having a difficult time adjusting to that.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Hooray! Invuln/SS tankers like my build! I am reaching my core targeted audience and giving people with that power set HOPE! Feels damn good! I also have a great plan for how Kara joins Arachnos with plausible deniability with the hero community. Board a plane flying near the Rogue Isles, use Laser Beam Eyes to ignite the plane's fuel tanks (killing 350 people around her), and fly down to parlay with Arachnos. The papers will assume Arachnos attacked the plane and Kara is either dead or captured. Meanwhile, Dr. Kara Lokison does human enhancement research for Arachnos, then "surfaces" in Paragon later claiming she "escaped" Arachnos. This will make it very easy for her to spy on the heroes for Arachnos, and sabatague items... Oh I can't wait until Kara can fall to the dark side! Kimmie, starting her weekend and in a great mood now that I have seen that people like my I5 build (last one posted here)! And that Kara has a perfect backstory for CoV once characters are allowed to quest to cross factions.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game BlackSword, I like that background! Manchine, I know dear. Some new feature will create an imbalance eventually. Still, give the best feedback that you can dear. After the NDA lifts, tell me how each AT feels, and whether I will enjoy Brutes or Masterminds more.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game For the latter, play all of the ATs and help the Devs get them balanced so we won't have to rebuild them with each and every issue. Congratulations, now help the Devs make the game fun and where it won't be subject to massive nerfs down the line. As for CoH, as a Blaster, your game is largely the same.

Re: Xenosupers! I am a PC gamer. PS1 runs Xenogears, which I rarely fire up anymore, but the PC also runs Xenogears (faster and with better graphics, I love emulation). My PC also runs Fallout, Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, NWN, Morrowind, City of Heroes, Warcraft 2, Dungeon Siege, and Total Annihilation. Fallout 3, Oblivion, and Supreme Commander are coming! So is City of Villains!

Re: Xenosupers! I love Emmie Kasim so much!!! She's perfect! Best attacks in the game, and even with El Crescens left out of Disk 2, she still forms my standard team once she joins! Her gear, as fragile as it is, does GREAT against Dues! She's PERFECT! Her combos are a delight to watch, and her powers are IMHO better than the "old lady" Ellie's. I won't buy a PS2 (PC gamer whose PS1 has lots of dust on it), but since PS3 is supposed to be backwards compatible to the PS1... I might find XS 1 and XS 2 sometime down the road. I am acutely aware of what I am missing.

Re: Xenosupers! Go pick up Xenogears, an older PS1 game. Xenosaga 1 is basically most of the first episode listed in Xenogears' "Perfectworks", a Japanese book with the backstory and art of the Xenogears universe. Xenogears is Episode 5, 10,000 years later. When some of Square's team left for Namco, they attempted to redo the Xenogears timeline with a few changes to avoid infringement to the work they did but Square owns in Xenogears. The main character in Xenogears is also the little boy know as Abel in Xenosage. He reincarnates. You'll see some nice "coincidences" in Xenogears.

Re: Is Power Girl/Kara Starr the DCUs Gladiator? LOL Yes, when sick I am sure he was much less super than himself. Here is just a little background info on the Earth 2 Superman. Earth 2 Superman was the original Golden Age Superman who started off with Superjump and had his powers slowly develope. Earth 2 Clark was the Editor of the Daily Star, married Lois Lane early in their relationship, and kept his powers under a red sun. Gravity fields and later kryptonite were his weaknesses. Yes, he was less powerful by far than Earth 1 (Silver Age) Superman, but usually as powerful as himself (pun related to last post). Earth 2 Superman was not a super scientist, but more like a typical rush in and beat down brick. As Clark, Earth 2 Superman played a coward instead of a klutz. He also only loved Lois, there never was a Lana/Lois/Clark triangle. His sense of responsibility grew slowly, as early on he was a very high handed vigilante. Earth 2 Superman was neato, but he wasn't quite the God Earth 1 Superman was made to be. The current Superman is much weaker than the Earth 2 version. The current Kal El is the weakest version yet, and still the ultimate DC brick.

Re: Is Power Girl/Kara Starr the DCUs Gladiator? Next month, Supergirl debutes in her own title (Yes, Supergirl as in THE Kara Zor-El). The first arc will have her facing off with and I assume allying with PowerGirl. Should shed some serious DC Continuity on both of them. Kimmie, hoping DC won't fuck up both Karas in yet another short sighted clueless frenzy. I am Kara Zor-El's biggest fan!
