Same here, My account has been activated since January and does not go out until January of 2012... so I should be getting the items. They probably have not activated them yet.

Hey, welcome to the game, Knowitall!
There's lot of people on Freedom, so you should find a great SG/VG and a lot of friends with no problem!
Today is going to be my last day for a while, because I'm about to open my own restaurant and I won't have time to play, but it's good to see new people joining.
Good luck in the game. I hope you have a blast!
And congrats "GibsonMcCoy" on your restaurant! I hope everything works out for you, maybe when you have the time you could make a copy of the menu so I can see all the good food I am missing out on.

Quote:Oh cool, thats sounds like a lot of fun! Also I never thought about playing a Ninja/Poison, might check that out. Who knows maybe I will like that more than Necro/Dark.Originally Posted by Goldberg
I have a ninjas/poison, bots/ff and my current MM is a demon/pain dom. The one I enjoyed the most was Ninjas. They have great single target damage. Plus Ninjas just rock anyways. They can get a little crazy sometimes but definetly fun. Posion also offers some nice debuffs and a heal.
Also, there is a group of us that play regularly on Mondays and Wednesdays @ 10 and 10:30 EST respectivly. It's called the Freedom Horde and the events are always posted in the forums. We also have a channel call Freedom TF Chat. We are very laid back and run arcs or TFs. We usually get enough people for 2 - 3 teams.

1. Wyatt, welcome to Freedom.
2. Irish: The best way to manage MM pets is to treat them like fingers of your hand. If you leave them on Defensive or Aggressive and you're not retooling them regularly, then you're asking for a world o' trouble.
I keep them in Defensive (for Bodyguard bonuses), but I'm always giving them a target to lump their attacks. I keep them near me for proximity bonuses/ancillary defense (my main MM's a bots/traps, for instance, so I'll have FFG running as well as a few Poison Traps/Acid Mortars during a hazardous fight). Keeping them near you means you're using your minion cone attacks more logically, instead of trying to imagine where your pet is vs the target all the time.
When a target goes down, I hit ESC, then TAB (to target the closest enemy), then redirect them to drop THAT target. The idea is to always be flushing the closest threats first, working my way outward. Minions to bosses last about 1 second vs 5 seconds depending on the boss.
The system works well for me for my other MM builds (thugs/poison, demon/thermal), but it's in bots/traps where that method shines the most. Don't give up on Masterminds - maybe you just haven't found the right combo for you. It IS a harder AT to play than the others, but no other class comes close to effective mob sweeping than a horde of crazed minions.
Thank you for the warm welcome! ^^
And the advice you gave to "Irish" will help me a lot. I do have one question though, I may be doing something wrong but I can never seem to target a mob that is close to me when I "Tab target". I always get one that is further away, is there some setting that I need to change? I never have this issue in other MMOs, only this one. -
Quote:Yea, the highest I got was around 25 on a Necro/Dark on Champion back in 08. Soloing as a Mastermind is fun and easy, but when it comes to grouping I worry about them not accepting my commands quick enough and it wipes the group. They did pull some groups to us a few times but with all of the heals flying around we survived lol. But once my MM gets to lvl 20 I will be making the Spider AT on Villain side, after seeing him in action last night I really wanted to play it.Originally Posted by Irish Fury
This is one of many reasons I don't play masterminds. I made a necro, deleted at lvl 10. I made a bots, deleted at lvl 28. I made a demons, deleted at lvl 16. I prefer to do the fighting myself, and got extremely frustrated with the AI. I am willing to concede that it was likely my own lack of skill that made this AT unplayable to me, but no fun nonetheless.

Quote:Yes it was! It was fun to be in a group on my Necro/Dark. I still need to work on my micro management though. My pets kept wandering off into another group of mobs, even when I tried to stop them from running into the other group it took forever before they obeyed the command. Thats my only complaint with the melee Mastermind pets. I like playing my Necro but it can be a pain sometimes.Originally Posted by Irish Fury
A good time was had by all in Praetoria last night. I got my dp/kin corr, Cobalt-Cowboy, from lvl 7 to 14!

Quote:Thank you very much for the advice! I never knew that you could buy a jetpack and that the chopper could take you to another area.Originally Posted by crayhal
Travel tip if you play Villain:
Before you make your ebil one, email yourself at least 10k inf. After you land in Mercy, go to the chopper behind Kalinda. Take it to Grandville. Stay on the main road and head towards the statue of Lord Recluse. Before his statue is a Jetpack Quartermaster. Click on the Raptor pack to buy it. You will hear a 'bing' sound that indicates your purchase is complete. If you don't see the jetpack in your tray, click on Powers. From the Temporary powers list, drag the Raptor pack to your tray and you're good to go!
For quick cash, open a few presents to get a candy cane or do a mission from FatherTime. Candy canes sell for 50-100k a piece. -
Quote:I hear ya. I have always been into Batman just because he is different than most heroes since he does not have any "super powers", he uses the tools he has on him and his knowledge.Originally Posted by Irish Fury
I am not a PvPer either. I can't justify the investment it takes to be competitive in PvP zones.
It is tough to choose one side over the other. I started on hero side, just because I am a Superman freak, and wanted to have that iconic hero experience, but I have since gotten into playing villain side a bit more. Both have their pros and cons, but I tend toward hero side, if only because of the higher population.
If you go to Villain side first, Dark Kingdom seems to be a fine group. I don't have any toons in their SG, but have teamed with some of their members and had a grand ol' time. My main prolem with villain side is that the zones seem to be harder to navigate unless you have fly or super jump, but I am sure that is a result of my own deficiency.
I will probably start off Hero first and when I feel like playing something else I will mess around on Villain side to keep things fresh. Plus thanks to the new Dual Pistol powerset I can make my Wyatt Earp character, lol. On Champion he was using a machine gun >.< lol. Plus I really want to start up a Warshade soon, I don't know what it is but I really love that Archetype. -
Quote:Thank you for the info! If I decide to go Villain first I will look you guys up. I really don't want to play both sides at the same time, but this game makes it hard for me to choose lol.Originally Posted by crayhal
If you plan on playing a villain, I can invite you to Dark Kingdom. DK has a lot of members, so if you need an invite to DK or its other branches, just ask in Cap Au Diable. I'm usually on after 8 PM weekdays playing Avsolut Zer0, Voltez Y or Dominura.

Quote:"We do NOT take this whole thing seriously. It is a video game, and we are here to have fun."Originally Posted by Irish Fury
While we do have a few "powergamers" in our SG, it is a very casual play friendly group. The only activity rule we have is that you log in to your toon at least once every ten days. Beyond that, it's your subscription, play it as often as you like. Aside from very early in the morning, and very late at night, it is extremely rare for us not to have more than a few players on at all times. At peak times being somewhere around 6-11PM est, it isn't uncommon for us to have 15-20 people logged in. We generally do some kind of SG activitly every evening whether it be TFs, Trials, or sometimes just casual radio missions. We are mainly a PvE group, but recently we have had a spike in PvP activity. We started up about 6 months ago (after migrating from Liberty) and are currently ranked #11 on the server, a feat we are very proud of. We have a core group of 5 leaders who are very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and easy to approach, as well as a vent server that is very active and full of comedians. We do NOT take this whole thing seriously. It is a video game, and we are here to have fun. If you are going to be in game tonight say 7ish, I'll be happy to give you a base tour. Check out www.valhallasguard.com for more details and info.
I wish more "guilds" would have that same attitude. It is so rare to find a group of players that have the same thinking. Thank you for the reply back and the info on your Supergroup. The PvE is what I am mainly into, I am not afraid to say that I am terrible at PvP. I have tried all kinds of PvP and I am just not good, once in a blue moon I will have a really nice kill count.
Again thank you for the info and invite, if I choose to go with Hero side first then I would like to join your SG. Just by your posts alone show that you are a great group of people.

Quote:Lol, there are always going to be a few idiots in an MMO. Some have more idiots than others though, i am sure some people will know which game I mean. :POriginally Posted by Irish Fury
Welcome back to the game, and to Freedom. I started on Liberty and moved to Freedom when my SG migrated during the Going Rogue free server transfers. Freedom is a good place and very active. We have our share of idiots, but they seem concentrated in Atlas Park for the most part
. Red side tends to be a bit friendlier (ironic) but it is harder to find a team as most people seemed to have switched to blue side. My global is @Guardian Irish-Fury, feel free to shot me a tell or an invite anytime. I am in a large and very active hero side SG called Valhalla's Guard if you are interested, but I'll leave the hard core recruiting for another time.
And thank you for letting me know that your SG is recruiting and that it is very active. My only question about your SG is are your looking mainly for "Harcore" PvE and/or PvP players? I plan on playing about 2-4 hours a night, if I can log on, and 4+ on the weekend. Right now I am Beta testing a new MMO coming out so my time is limited when the beta starts, which Beta Part 5 starts tomorrow. -
Howdy all! After being gone for awhile due to some health issues, and still dealing with severe back pain, I am coming back to CoX. I was originally on Champions but I am starting over on Freedom since it seems to fit my playstyle due to it having a larger playerbase and there seems to always be someone to team up with.
I have a lvl 10 Necro/Dark Mastermind that I really like and will probably get him up first before working on anything else... but this game turned me into an altoholic so sometimes I get in the mood to play a different powerset. Since I do not have a lvl 20+ Villain my Necro/Dark MM will be going that route so that I can unlock the other two Villain powersets. Once I do that I will try out the Spider Powerset. For Hero side I will make a Warshade, I played around with him on Champion and I had a lot of fun.
I will probably look for a Supergroup later on once I get my character at a higher level, hopefully on both Hero and Villain side. My Global name is @Wyattearp so shoot me an invite to a group or just a simple "hi" if you want lol. Thank you for taking the time to read my post, take care!

Same here, can't connect to Freedom server.

Demon Summoning looks fantastic! I will be playing with this set when it goes live

This seems like a cool thread.
My name is David, 20 years old. I work at a Nuclear Power Plant as a Drafter. I am not married and do not have a girlfriend lol! I am into basketball, was until I messed my back up. I am also a huge Tolkein fan, love his books and I also enjoyed the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. Looking forward to seeing the Hobbit in 2011.
I enjoy playing MMOs, which include: CoX, Guild Wars, WoW, Lord of the Rings Online, Dungeons and Dragons Online, Fallen Earth, Star Trek Online and CO. I enjoy Beta testing and one time I even Alpha tested, which was awesome! I enjoy working on cars and I hope to take a course in auto mechanics as a hobby.
I do hope to one day take a trip to Tombstone, Arizona to check out the O.K Corral. I always wanted to see where Wyatt Earp and his brothers, along with Doc Holiday, fought. It means a lot to me since I am related to the Earps. -
Quote:DDO is using the 3.5 version rulebook and some the rules have been updated with the 4.0 rulebook. It is a very fun game and I plan to be buying the one year sub for it soon.Originally Posted by Daemodand
I think the D&D branding is what threw me off about that game. Despite the name, it bears no resemblance at all to D&D, at least from this D&D old-schooler's perspective.
Ah well, I guess free=good nowadays.
(On Topic) Grats to Paragon Studios! Looking forward to what you will be adding to the game this year. I know I will be playing a lot when Demon Summoning comes out. I am enjoying the new Dual Pistols, now I can finally make my Wyatt Earp character the correct way! -
Quote:I am looking forward to it, when NCSoft puts that out. Not sure if it is an update or an expansion. Some players have said that whatever that is, update or expansion, NCSoft is almost finished with it. I am trying to find out where they got that info from though.Originally Posted by Fiery-Enforcer
Has anyone checked out this video?

There's still a fair amount of activity on the Israphel legion, can't speak for the others.

Well I am finally coming back to Aion, my internet has been messed up for the past few weeks and I couldnt log onto Aion and could barely get on CoH/V. But I hope to be on Aion this week. I love the game, it has plenty of stuff for me to do and cant wait for the new expansion to come out with all of the upgrades they are doing.
I think I will start over as Elyos on Ariel or I could go to Israphel as Asmodian depending on whch legion seems to be more active. If you guys are still on there can I get an invite to your legion? I will either be going Gladiator, Ranger or Chanter. I was a since the start of closed beta and made one when Aion went live, but I was starting to lose interest with the class. Dont know why, I guess I am tired of playing a pet class and want to do something else for a change. Anyway hope to see you online sometime. -
I thought the new Star Trek movie was really good. The visuals were really good and I thought the story was fine. I will probably buy the movie on Bluray this week.
-
Actually I am now on the Israphel server but Elyos, a quick decision I made before the game goes fully live on tuesday. My characters are Kaiba (Mage-Spiritmaster and Prizma Scout-Ranger).
Edit: I am really getting annoyed with changing servers lol. I am now on a Kaisinel. Still playing Elyos with the same names and classes. I kept getting dc'd and was having a lot of rubberbanding issues with Israphel. had it ever since CB too. I can actually play the game game now on kaisinel lol. -
I will be on the Lumiel server, already made my two characters yesterday.
-
Mine is nothing great. I use Wyattearp here and on a car forums site. I use because it is hardly taken and plus I am related to Wyatt Earp.
I use to have a character named Marshall Wyatt Earp in the game but i messed up on him so I made a new one and kept the name. So I am working on him now, Blaster/Devices. Wish he could dual wield pistols like the Thug MM but I guess an assault rifle will do lol. -
I hope you all feel better soon. Take it easy and maybe even pop into CoH/V to help take your mind off of the virus

Dang Hope you feel better soon Positron and take it easy.
