    Could we perhaps get some clarification on how this is supposed to work?
    I have been getting that also, only 2 Beta servers, 01 and 13, not allowed on 01, 13 gives the patcher message which, incidentally, is up to date. So confused right now and want to make my steampunk outfit ready for the battling. Advice required please.
  2. I have a generic'd toon also, so stupid to not allow the name 'Captain Laxative'.

    Anyhow, maybe we should get together with our generic'd toons for a generic only team lol.

    QUestion is, how do I change the name to something else?
    You're kidding right?

    Getting a generic'd name should be a badged accolade!

    Ice/Ice Tanking

    On an ice/ice I personally would not worry about getting taunt. Most of your melee powers have taunt built in. An ice tank does not stand at the sidelines firing off taunt - it aint a 1 power tank, they get right into the action and beat the crop out of foes, more a Scranker. For such a little used power I found it more beneficial to respec taunt out and pick up an extra APP or pool.

    For the die hards that would criticise "a tank without taunt is like blah without blah blah" (all iterated in a whiney 3 yr olds voice), YOU'RE WRONG. I have always found it more beneficial to teams having powers I can actually use. Yes some tanks need taunt, ice/ice however does not as it has many taunts built in.

    Ahh! That would make it exclusive to non villains then?

    Yes. No problem. In fact, just make it a round $500. Anybody else for that matter, if you want 500 bucks just reply to this thread. Your $500 is in the post.
  7. Well, thats what you get for A: gloating and B: publishing the code. No one to blame but yourself.

    But I do feel sorry for you that you don't have that which is rightfully yours.

    Lol, I can envisage a new GF should that happen.

    It's completely plausible that they could merge the CoX servers onto 1 or 2 physical servers but, I heard a rumour that we may be able to cross servers with any toon - I don't know how much credence to give that though.

    I'm not so sure, I managed to reduce the purple bar a notch when I tested tier 4 Ion on it.

    Thanks for volounteering 'Turg' to form the next drop ship league Luna. During the next Rikti raid just shout out in b/cast Turgenev and I think you will have no trouble filling it. ;p

    Drop a drop ship

    I "SO" want to do this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHPk6oGXXcw
  13. Thank you ZM, I hadn't seen those yet. Much appreciated as always.

    edit - looks like I will be getting Steampunk yay
  14. I umm'd and ahh'd about buying booster packs but was eventually swayed to do so. I'm glad I did buy premium items which have proved useful.

    After careful consideration of my builds and respeccing accordingly I am somewhat dismayed that I CANNOT NOW USE NINJA RUN IN MANY ZONES and the it appears that there is NO FIX ANNOUNCED.

    My problem is that Ninja Run was working fine when i20 was released and a week or 2 later it was greyed out in the new trials and PvP zones. I respecced some of my toons with NR as the sole travel power and now find I have none in certain zones/trials.

    This problem needs resolving before I part with any more money, however much I want the Steampunk Pack.

    So on that note - can we please have a projected date when Ninja Run will be reinstated?
  15. Steampunk pack looks ace - but wait - there is a problem.

    I laid good money out for the martial arts pack (and the rest of them). However, Ninja Run now no longer works in many zones.

    When this pressing fault is corrected I may then be swayed to lay out even more money for Steampunk. "Make my day" DEVS and fix Ninja Run; then you can have more of my money.
  16. Gah, I was 2 clicks from mission end!
  17. Excello Hellstorm. I think you captured the spirit there. WD.
  18. tried to enter Lord Winter mission in Sharkhead solo 3 times, sent to mercy each time?
  19. Coolness, just got the ones I wanted, now - where did that cosmetic tailor get to . . ?

    Oh yes, that I will be doing.
  21. Um . . . I'm looking but the deals aren't showing and prices have not changed.
  22. Raids usually happen on Sundays, they have been all day or not at all. They also happen sporadically during the week but you gotta be logged on to see them. You have the 'Freedom' to organise your own regular raid any time you wish.
