We were watching this week's episode of Arrow, and I was struck at one point by how familiar the heroes on the show running along rooftops and fighting inside warehouses was.

If only there'd been a few clockwork gizmos doing their bzzzt-thing with a roof-top air-conditioning unit.

I miss it, a lot.

I really miss going back to the SG base for some irrational arguments about honesty or who gets to go on the next mission.

We had a bit of SG drama like that, but it wasn't usually in-character.

TV show drama is usually hyped up and a little hard to accept as how actual people would interact. I might possibly eye-roll less at the parachute arrows.

I want more trick arrows.

I want more trick arrows.

I tried to convince the devs that adding a power customization option to make the stun arrow have a giant boxing glove at the end was a reasonable option to consider, but for some reason they didn't think that was an effective use of visual fx artist time.

i would've spent money above my subscription for this. (As i did for nearly everything PS released.) i probably wouldn't have used it much, but just to have it in the game would have been enough.

Guess they felt if you wanted that you should have built grav troller.  I would have gone for that and a lit stick of dynamite on the exploding arrows.

No wonder the game got shut down.

I always wanted them to synchronize the objects my grav controller threw with other clients.  Cool power customization would have let me pick the basic set of objects that got thrown from, too.

i would've made Super Handyman, the hero who pelts enemies with rolls of fiberglass batting and plumbing supplies.

I even had a justification for the giant glove.  A normal boxing glove doesn't make sense because a) it wouldn't fit in the quiver and b) it would make the arrow too heavy and unbalanced to fly.  So I envisioned that the arrow had a warhead composed of a tightly wrapped balloon with an explosive charge comparable to an air bag.  When the arrow is fired a proximity fuse detonates the gas charge and inflates the boxing glove shaped balloon explosively fast which actually causes the balloon to strike the target with much more force than the arrow itself would have struck with.  This would necessitate the glove-shaped balloon at the end of the arrow being significantly larger than a normal sized glove at full inflation.

You'd think that would be sufficient physics justification for the VFX work, but apparently not.

Me too.  It wouldn't have been too difficult to to in principle either, but it wasn't a high priority item for them and it did involve tampering with parts of the game that the developers were not crazy about touching.

Tonight, I've had Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" going on repeat while playing Marvel Heroes.  I was doing just fine until I came here.  The lines about "Everyone I know / goes away in the end" came up while I was reading a couple of threads, and my brain put it all together with memories of this game in a sudden wave of sad.  :(

I miss my City.  Can we have City of Heroes back now?

No city of heroes for you, 1 year or 4 years, maybe 5 years.

A giant boxing glove on a trick arrow.

Sure.  Why not?

Leaving a couple mobs in every room, exiting the mission, turning on hide and then rerolling on another server a few months later?

News Flash, weekly Update,

I heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another that City of Heroes is coming back.  I don't think it's true, babe, but even if it is babe; keep this in mind.  You play it on the run, babe.  If that's the way you want it, babe.  You're firing a gun, babe.  So you take it on the run.

I refuse it apologize to REO Speedwagon.

You've got the levels in you. Don't let go.
You've got the levels in you. One boss left.
This TF's gonna pull through, don't give up.
This shutdown's such a rip, can't forget,
We only get what we give.

Full apology to Gregg Alexander and New Radicals. I'll stop now.
