Thanks for the info, even if it was a bit short notice...
Unfortunately, I have to get up for work at 4:45 AM EDT on Wednesday, so 9 PM is a tad late for me.
Good luck all the same ! -
I must confess: I have a level 50 SS/Invuln Tanker that still has Hand Clap.
Why ? Concept idea: it was my 1st toon, and I wanted to make him with *all* its primary powers and *all* its secondary powers - I even took "Hurl", which is even more useless to me than Hand Clap.
I use it from time to time to:
a) clear up a mob that would have sneaked past me and is attacking a non-melee player (ex. Empath Defender) - especially if I notice the health bar of that player melting like butter in a saucepan...
b) play "bounce ball" with a lieutenant standing between me and a wall 10 feet away...
c) break up a large mob, mostly when I solo - "OK, that's enough - I'll get to you in a moment..." -

EDIT: when you wrote "8 PM", you meant "8 PM Eastern" ?
Humm..... an intriguing proposition....

Happy Birthday !

Sorry, missed that one....

Hey Arch, thanks for the feedback.
But more about this: would that be a feature that would be good to have, a link to Vidiotmaps or Paragon Wiki? -
Happy Belated Birthday, Red !

Feeling ambivalent: glad it's Double XP, sad vacation is ending.
MOAR XPs!
MOAR SLEEP! -
I have never done this TF, so it would be... interesting (*gives $0.05 to Major T *).
I have a mid-30s scrapper I'll try to push up to 40, or I could take my 50+1 tanker just for the heck of it.
EDIT: I have to bow out of this one: something came up and I might not be home by 12pm EDT

I second what Zwillinger and Nalrok said, and would like to add: it's a very casual-player friendly game (at least until you get to the endgame). You only have 1/2 hour to play, you can still do all kind of stuff...

Quote:The new Calendar looks really nice, except...Originally Posted by Stalemate
I am trying out a new format for the calendar.
Well, more of an interface for it since it is basically a website based off a simple template. The intent is to keep it simplistic. The supergroup links are a possible addition to the left side panel.
https://sites.google.com/site/cohprotector/
This will go live soon, replacing the current one. URLs will remain the same.
Thoughts and suggestions welcome.
- The Calendar shows "Rush the Rikti" tonight at 8PM (oh my god, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late !), but the description states "Scheduled for 9PM EST". Pro'lly just a typo, easily fixed...
EDIT: hummm... 9 PM EST, and we're in EDT (daylight saving time) now... could be the reason why...
- ... but hey, there's a map link - I could really use a good map of the Rikti War Zone...
Alas, that was not to happen:
And I thought you could find anything in Google !

To get some ideas, you might want to check Father Xmas's guide to picking computer components
His low-end system is a bit more expensive than the budget you mentioned, but there should be a way to finagle something out of it. -
Quote:My condolences to you and to your friend's family...Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
I have to apologize, I'll need to push this back to Sunday as a friend of mine from high school passed in a car accident last night- I will be busy doing irl stuff for most of the day.
I'm editing the OP with the new date, sorry to anyone who won't be able to make it because of the change.

Quote:humm... all my characters' names were my "favorite" at one point or another, otherwise I would not have chosen them... so it's hard for me to answer the first part of your question.Originally Posted by Comicsluvr
For me, the name and the appearance of a character are extremely important. I've rerolled toons in their 30s just because I thought of a better name (and didn't want to buy a rename). Some of the cornerstone NPCs of CoH have excellent names...others not so much. Positron, War Witch, Ghost Widow are all strong, defining names. Images leap to mind when I hear them, even before I saw them.
My favorite names for my character thus far include:
Total Violence. My first villain ever and one of my all-time faves. A brutal, violent thug with more power than sense who is only happy when he's smashing something.
Johnny Shock. An elec/elec Blaster who gained his powers when his band was attacked during the Praetorian invasion.
Major-Disaster. A Shield scrapper and my only homage character to Captain America. You see the super soldier program didn't get where it did without a few less than stellar experiments...
So...what are YOUR favorite toon's names and how did you come by them?
As the second part:- some are from my old Villains and Vigilantes PnP RPG sessions (Enora, Kreetch, No-Bana, Grey Templar, John Vanguard)
- some are "inspired" by all those comic books I read (Madam Rouge [Teen Titans/Doom Patrol], GreenKnight [Knights of Pendragon], Chilltouch [60's DC comics], ChaosBringer [80's Image comics], Mademoiselle Loyal [Marvel's Crime Circus], Dirk Nebula [cheesy 60's horror comics hosts]
- some are just from my love of truly horrendous puns (Herder P3-1416, First of July [Canada flag-themed hero], MENIAC, Urbain DuBois, C-Spot Ron, Grosse Douceur, Lionelle, Monique Sonique, Sergeant St.Nick [a cross between Sgt. Rock and Saint Nicholas], Doc Zilla, Dull Dan Dugan [Dual Blades Brute], Miss Yuu)

Ok, so just putting it out there... how would people feel about Sunday evening?

Too bad I did not see that thread earlier...
I spent from 9:00 PM till midnight EDT yesterday playing my born-and-bred Canadian Hero, 'First of July', thru some Hollows mishes.
Quote:I only play him 1 day a year, so he's only level 12 as of yesterday.Originally Posted by Eldritch_Knight
So, what's the consensus?
A few TFs
Setting up a Hami Raid
Or Incarnate Trials?
Let's see... played for 6 years, gained 12 levels, carry the zero...............
He should be able to do Incarnate Stuff on July 1st, 2030
