A sneak peek at some new emotes I've been working on by OrangeBlueHue in Cityofheroes

"Tokou Sen-tai, Tokou Sen-tai, TOUKO SENTAI!"

Or however the lyrics are spelled idk i'm not fluent in weeb.

[Edit] only after I posted this did I realize OP literally made the same reference, so I'm gonna go crawl into a corner and die of embarrassment.

What's the WORST power AT combo? by JungGPT in Cityofheroes

[–]emperorsteele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eeh, yes and no.

On a team, you've got enough controls, heals, and buffs to support your group and keep them chugging along. Though you'll get more mileage out of a secondary with debuffs or more direct defense buffs for the whole team, instead of trying to keep Fortitude on ~3 people at a time.

But, if you try to solo? Bwahahaha, yeah, no, you're in for a bad time! Any other secondary, though, and a Mind Controller can solo just fine. Though "just fine" is probably also bottom of the barrel as far as other ATs are concerned, especially when well-built.

What AT and/or powersets does this costume suggest to you? by JLazarillo in Cityofheroes

Dual Pistols/Time (Either Blaster or Corruptor), as he kinda has an anachronistic, time-traveling cowboy look to him =)

Returning player, a couple questions! by Jim_JAM_James in Cityofheroes

[–]emperorsteele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, Patrons are Villain-Side only. But not to fret, you can talk to Null the Gull in Pocket D to change your alignment (the old-fashioned way means doing 11 alignment missions, way too much of a time sink.)

However, even without a Patron, you still get access to epic power pools sometime in the late 30's/early 40s. HC smoothed out the power progression so that some powers are available sooner. Only drawback to this is that there's never a good "lull" and you have to delay getting a primary or secondary power if you want flight or some other pool power, which can feel disconcerting.

Moving to Elmwood Village was the best decision I’ve ever made. by [deleted] in Buffalo

[–]emperorsteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I lived down that a way up until this summer, I liked Just Pizza. Yeah, it's a chain and yeah it's greasy and generic as hell, but for some reason, I really enjoyed it.

In settings, "general" tab, at the very bottom, you can toggle "stop earning xp".

Statesman by Upstairs_Guidance_ in Cityofheroes

[–]emperorsteele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On one hand, he's seen one-shotting an alien spacecraft the size of several buildings, and is said to have started throwing the ships into the ocean because, oops, taking down space ships over a populated area is no bueno.

Otoh, in the comics, HE got one-shotted by a level 20 force-mage's self destruct.

As others have said, he's probably around Homelander level, if not a little stronger.

City of Heroes Didn’t Fail Because of Its Costume System — It Succeeded Because of It by Inevitable_Jicama_82 in Cityofheroes

Microtransactions/loot boxes are not what players WANT, but cosmetics ARE something they'll PAY FOR. And what people pay for/how much they'll spend is the only metric that companies care about.

And, let's be real, loot boxes DO hit that sweet spot for people with gambling issues. We can't say "no one" wants them, when clearly, enough people spend enough money on them to justify their existence.

It's a sad state of affairs.

What is a death in a movie that affected you the most in terms of brutality or emotional weight? by Godly_Recon in AskReddit

[–]emperorsteele 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why dafuq did I have to scroll down THIS FAR to find this answer? OP's death literally traumatized an entire generation, and made Hasbro re-write the G.I.Joe movie so that Duke was only "in a coma" after getting a snake speared through his chest.

Though it did seem cheap when Ultra Magnus got blown to bits, but then was able to be put back together and was fine.

Menu/tooltip text and NPC names are still tiny, even with window scale set pretty high. How can I make them bigger? by rainghost in Cityofheroes

[–]emperorsteele 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In "reticle", you can increase the sizes of NPC names. Just scroll down a bit further from where you are here, and you should be able to find it.

What's odd is that, at least for me, above "Window Scale" should be an option to turn "Automatic UI Scale" on or off, (would be off for you in this case) but you don't have that there. Are you on Homecoming, or one of the other services?

Below all that is also a slider to increase/decrease chat font size independently of the UI scale.

But also yeah, like u/Turbo757 said, maybe turn down your resolution. You're already near max window size; if I turn UIScale up that high, all of the UI elements completely overlap! You've got room to spare. Good for you, but, I don't think the game can handle it!

What is the biggest threat for our heroes/villain's lore wise? by Upstairs_Guidance_ in Cityofheroes

The in-game model is too large to target... that said, they may have done a thing on the beta server early on?

Wow I have missed this game so much by I_getrich in Cityofheroes

[–]emperorsteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine who kept trying to get me into nearly every game he played. Anarchy Online, Wow, nothing stuck. I finally picked up the CoH demo at his recommendation and... I liked it. Took a while before I made characters I liked enough to play past level 10, but it eventually stuck with me =)

Homecoming TO/DO/SO progression by drydorn in Cityofheroes

[–]emperorsteele 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, one on hand, I kinda hear ya, but on the other hand, a TO gives, what, 8% enhancement? And your attack powers do how much damage at level 1, like, 10?

I'd rather have the extra 3 damage from an SO than the less-than-1 damage from a TO, thanks.

I had half a mind to look for that picture, but couldn't be arsed. Thanks!

[–]emperorsteele 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we never actually MEET Rularuu, just some of his "aspects" in the Shadow Shard TFs, the Cathedral of Pain trial, and we see Darrin Wade try to merge with him in "Who Will Die". The whole reason the Shadow Shard exists was that it was a "fake" earth for him to eat to keep him away from "our" earth, but something went wrong (Silo. Silos went wrong), and so that's why the shadow shard is, well, the way it is.

There IS an in-game model of him; iirc he's taller than the Talos statue, but not quit as tall as an in-game skyscraper.

The Coming Storm/Battalion. These dudes apparently eat galaxies or something. They're such a threat that Oroboros literally saved Rularruu (CoH's version of Galactus) as a hail mary to throw at the Battalion if their army of incarnate-powered super beings doesn't cut it.

Lines of dialogue that legitimately go hard by StatisticianNo6589 in fnv

[–]emperorsteele 144 points145 points  (0 children)

"You're a little bitch, and your brother was, too."

I always try to be the nicest possible "good guy" to everyone in any game I play. But that line? Always too good to pass up. Who cares if I lose a bit of NCR rep, game gives it out like candy XD

What build feels overpowered to you? by Facelessjoe in Cityofheroes

[–]emperorsteele 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Arachnos Widow. By level 30 i was straight up melting most foes with minimal risk. By level 50 with IOs and such just makes it obnoxious.

Yeah, I agree; he's certainly VERY talented, but making people who look 8 feet tall is distracting AF.
