{{Ununnilium}}: Just wondering: Who here actually plays it? I just recently got it and have become insta-addicted.
LooneyToons: I run a supergroup, The Legendary, on the Virtue server. A large number of my friends and acquaintances are part of the group as well as a wide variety of spin-off groups on Virtue and other servers (The Infamous, The Little Legendary, The East Coast Legendary...).
{{HeartBurn Kid}}: I tend to play on and off on Guardian (I'll usually sign in for a couple of months, have a little fun, then get frustrated I don't have much time to play and get ahead and just cancel my account again. You know, I miss having a ton of free time...).
{{Andyroid}}: I used to be into [=CoH=] myself; played a Natural Scrapper named Kinryu. I've still got my account, it's just been inactive for months... nearly two years now, in fact. I've thought about picking up City of Villains and getting back into the game...
{{RedBeardSean}}: I have several characters on different servers, and with my friends we have a few supergroups: the Sentinels on Guardian, the Legion of Infinity on Pinnacle, the Ms. Alignment on Liberty. Due to our schedules, we rarely do things as a group, though; I tend to solo (which I find better challenge-wise, regardless).
{{Vulpy}}: I'm one of those die-hard soloers, but, yeah, I have more than a few characters. I try to add examples from ''City'' where it seems fitting around the wiki, too.
{{dkellis}}: Another die-hard alt-aholic soloer here. I tend to spend my time something like 20% on Virtue, 15% on Infinity, and 65% on the official forums.
{{Dalantia}}: *waves* Virtueite (Virtruvian? Native of Virtue?) here.
{{Alzharade}}:Virtuite as well, although I've been cut off for the past two months.Handle here is my handle there.
WildKnight: Add me to the list of die-hard soloers and Virtuites. Back in the day I was on Victory, but I decided to switch to Virtue for some arbitrary reason when I came back to find the game a lot better than I remembered it. I wonder if that had something to do with the dev team changing...
{{Gattsuru}} : Mostly a soloer/small group player on Champion.
SkarmoryThePG : Virtue 4 lyfe.
JackButler: I'm a member of the Super League of Justice Friends, a small SG on the Freedom server.
{{Rebochan}}: I run the Pillars of Virtue, a little RP group on Virtue server.
{{Arilou:}} I play occasionally. La Belle France (DW/WP scrapper) and Fortunate Daughter (Fortunata) on Virtue, mainly.
JohnZ: I played years ago... Virtue, naturally. Don't know if anyone ever happened to run across a Defender named [[AzumangaDaioh Ayumu Kasuga]], but yeah, that was me. Incidentally, I only made the character to see how long it would be before the devs generic'ed the name (they didn't notice, and as far as I can tell she still hasn't gotten flagged).

{{Ununnilium}}: Note that not all Natural heroes are {{Badass Normal}}s. For example, Comicbook/{{Superman}} would be Natural-origin, because he gets his powers from being a regular Kryptonian.
{{dkellis}}: And then there's the Kheldian Peacebringers, who are Natural(ly aliens).

{{Ununnilium}}:
* MoralDissonance (Using intense, weaponized radiation to bust street gangs in a highly-populated area. Yessss, this is a goood idea...)
That's not what MoralDissonance is. >>
** One occurrence of the phrase in the entire wiki. I'll grant you, that one ''is'' Nemesis.
Exactly! ``

{{Dalantia}}: Swapped Warshade and Peacebringer in the description of Heroic Epic ATs. Warshades gain bonuses that pander to the strengths of the team from having teammates (additional damage from damage ATs, additional defense from defensive ATs), Peacebringers balance out the team's weaknesses (additional damage from defensive ATs, additional defense from offensive ATs).
Also considering adding BrokenBase and InternetBackdraft to the tropes on this page. Opinions?
{{Ununnilium}}: Ah, thanks.
No more so than any other MMO, IMHO.
----
WildKnight: Random question, I don't know if it actually belongs here, but...the Determinator bullet point makes a reference to "the big three." What ''are'' the big three, out of morbid curiosity?
{{Gattsuru}}: I assume it's a reference to Invulnerability, Ice Armor, and Stone Armor's tanker versions. They're the three powersets best built for surviving damage. Maybe Unstoppable/Granite Armor/Instant Healing; those are better examples of the determinator mindset than Ice's MadeOfAir.
{{Dalantia}}: Regen, Stone Armor, and Dark Armor - the sets generally regarded as the "best" defensive sets. Was what I meant when I wrote it, at least.
----
SkarmoryThePG: I've removed the bullet for SprintMeter. Let me quote from just there:
*''"The defining characteristic of the Sprint Meter is that it refills automatically over time when it's not in use."''
*Although it could be argued that the Sprint ability consumes Endurance, which comes back naturally, that's more like consuming [[Mana]] (at a faster rate) to move faster. It also lacks the fundamental dea of a SprintMeter - just running around won't force you to pause occasionnaly, it just makes you fight worse.
{{Dalantia}}: Yeah, I wasn't looking at it too hard when I instinctively moved it to make alphabetism. >_>
----
*Benjamin Frankil Was An Alien Spy IT turns out the entire Book of Revelation was about The second Rikti Invasion. Go figure.
SkarmoryThePG: I didn't add it, but I can explain it. The Devs patterned the Second Rikti Invasion after the Book of Revelation. There's the Four Horsemen (Horseman: Death and co.), the Dragon (Dra'Gon), the Beast and the Sea (Hamidon)...
----
Danel: Would a FanficRecs page be the best place to recommend some of the fantastic new Architect Entertainment arcs I've seen, like those by {{Twoflower}}?
WildKnight: Ooh, I kinda like that idea. I mean, [[ItMakesSenseInContext in a weird way]], the Mission Architect arcs ''are'' fanfics, except written with "dev tools" instead of Microsoft Word. Although I'm not too familiar with FanficRecs guidelines, so don't consider me an expert on the subject...There would be rules against self-pimping your own arcs, right?
----
SkarmoryThePG: This is getting messy. I'm considering splitting off a section (not subpage, just sections) for tropes related to powers and powersets only - MeteorStrike, VacuumHurricaneKick, MakeMeWannaShout etc. Thoughts?
{{dkellis}}: Sounds good to me.
----
SkarmoryThePG: [Mask of Vititation]: 15s recharge, 1.20 accuracy, -33 end, 30s of -100% regen, -100% recov, -50% def. How is that exaggeration?
----
Ciel: This trouper would like to propose the addition of the BreastPlate to the listed troupes in the article, I mean, I think the Night Widow armor counts, also there's the Cimeroran (Grecian style, even if you get it and see in a part of Rome) breastplate that's supposed by molded to the physique underneath. It show also be noted, on PCs the troupe applies to both male and female models.
