As for me: Real Life as well.

Get up at 5 AM to go to work, get home around 5:30 PM, dinner, chores, fall asleep by 8 PM. Rinse and repeat Monday thru Friday.

Week-ends are divided not at all equally between my various hobbies: PnP RPGs, maintenance of my ginormous Comic Book collection (*), trying different flavors of Linuxes and OSSes, and CoH.

Also, I must confess that the recent changes to the game (ex. Incarnates) is acting more like a deterrent than an enticing factor to me at the moment. I don't like grinding or crafting or repeating the same content over and over and over again, so I tend to keep to myself and solo stuff whenever I'm online.

I know, I'm weird that way...

(*) I've bought in average 16 books a week for the past 25 years, and I kept a good 99% of them - you do the math.

Or more precisely : "I'm from America... I only speak Incomprehensible Shouting"

Darn right it is !

What a good idea!

French:
"Je suis un affreux Americain et je me moque éperdument de votre langue ridicule."

German:
"Ich bin ein hässlicher Amerikaner, und ich respektiere Ihre dumme Sprache nicht"

British:
"I am an ugly American and I do not care about your silly language, with all its extra 'o's, and its 's's instead of 'z's"

** all this said tongue firmly in cheek **

In a nutshell, this is what the Tech Gurus around here (1) would like to see:
- the log from running "CoH Helper"
- the log from running "Hijack This"

For details on how to do this, you might want to look at our good friend Hyperstrike's post: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=231628



(1) and unfortunately, I'm not one of them This is about the best I can do...

Yeah, I was wondering who was gonna be the poor sa... huh nice volunteer to organize the GenCon M&G this year...

Great! Now I can't get that song out of my head...

Welcome to the game, and to the boards !

I'll do my best...

it's Preto... Preato... Praetoria, but I agree that Planteria would have been simpler to spell lol

As ZephyrWind pointed out, by default the first character you'll create will be for Preto... Preato... AAARGH!! Planteria, but you can always go back to the Character Creation screen right away and create a 2nd character as a Hero, then a 3rd as a Villain, then...

Yep, Altitis is common in this game. And it's part of the fun too...

With Going Rogue, you should have all the default costume parts, plus the Alpha and Omega-themed costume sets. That's a truckload of costume parts...

But if you want more, there are 2 ways to get them:

• Some costume parts are available as "Veteran Rewards", for exemple you get the Trenchcoats after 3 months.
• If you can't wait that long you can buy Booster Packs from the NCSoft Store. Different Booster Packs have different costume parts, so you might want to look here first to plan which ones you want to buy.

As a few of us answered already: close, but not too close.

Several years ago, NCSoft got sued by Marvel because Marvel complained that this game would infringe on its intellectual properties. NCSoft won, but had to promise they would smack down on any possible infringements.

If someone (another player, most probably) see that your character looks too much like a copyrighted character, they are in their rights to fire off a petition to one of the GMs. If the GM reviewing this petition agrees that, yeah, "Captain A" looks a bit too much like Captain America, the GM will 1) change the name of "Captain A" to something like "GENERICIZED123245635", and 2) change "Captain A"'s costume to a totally random one (try to hit the "Random" button in the Character Creator screen to see the effect - oh, the horror, the horror!)

No problem, typing this from work as well...

On a side note: you may have noticed the links I used all pointed out to this nifty website called "Paragon Wiki". This is another very good place to get factual information about this game.

Also, once you're in game, you might want to join the "N P C" Global Channel - it' part of the Mentor Project (see my sig) and it's a good place to ask questions and get a response right on the spot.

The command to join: /chan_join N P C (the spaces are necesssary).

(All together) AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

... which is a good thing or a bad thing for the cats ?

(During an ITF)
- "Darn! Why can't I target that last Minotaur??!??"
- "That's Ivans_Shade"
- "... oh."

A few sites already offer something like this, the best known being (AFAIK) Guildportal.

Problem is, these sites are not geared towards City of Heroes proper (GP is made mostly of guilds from the 800 lbs Gorilla...), so either they have options that are irrelevant ("DKP/Raid Point system" ?), or have options that are missing.

So, yeah, if a new site done specifically for COH SGs/VGs would be available, I would certainly give it a try.

Sure would be nice... we could even call it, I don't know, "The Vault" or somethin'...

I believe Guildportal will let you do it, not sure how easy it is to set up and how easy it is to access.

/This.

You don't want to mess with the squirrels...

You mean, like what happened to this guy ?

Too bad... I'll be at my brother-in-law's place to watch some other kind of bombs on his High Definition TV

Good luck with your raid !

Might be worth it to revive Taskforce Tuesdays...

I did not say that (quite the contrary, in fact) and I understand PvP recipies are going for an insane amount of inf.

It's just that... 2 billion for anything... even if it is the just and accepted market price.. it's still 2 billion...

Another reason for me to shun(1) PvP and the Market, then...
