  1. ... of course Santa(_Laws) would make a list...

    The more I look at the Incarnate stuff, the less I'm thrilled about it.
    I don't even like crafting to start with, and I feel this part of the game (level 50 content) is getting too complicated for my lil' ol' head.

    I'll stick with the pre-50 stuff in this game, thankyewverymuch - there's more than enough content to make me happy.

    Edit: Actually, the same thing I do every weekend - try to squeeze in an hour or two of play in my busy schedule...

    Question:
    Guide to Purchasing and making a City of Heroes/Villains Character Server Transfer

    Answer:
    To transfer a character from one server to another in City of Heroes or City of Villains, please follow the instructions below.

    To make a character transfer, you must have a credit card or debit card on file in your NCsoft master account. For more information about using the Card on File option, please see the following Knowledge Base article: Use Card on File Option
    It does say you can also use a debit card, but a timecard is only good to add play time to your account.

  7. I'm looking for a new desktop PC to replace the one I'm using at the moment - it can play CoH, but on the lowest settings.

    My new PC would be used for: CoH, hopefully with some or all of Ultra Mode enabled, and for general computing (Open Office, internet, mp3 playing, Freecell , etc.).

    I'm also a Linux fan, so I expect to set it up as a dual-boot machine as well.

    That said...

    Father Xmas's guide to picking computer components is a great guide, especially if you're able to build your own PC, but hardware and me usually don't mix too well (I'm all thumbs, 11 of them...), so...

    Comparing what's available at Newegg.ca and TigerDirect.ca (I'm Canadian, hence the .ca suffix...) with FX's wishlists (*), I found this one:

    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16883229199

    Could y'all be kind enough to tell me if it's a good investment ?

    (*) EDIT: At first, I wrote that I compared with FX's "low end" system, but actually, this system has the Intel Core i5-760 from the "high end" list and, from what I've read on Anandtech and others, the GeForce GTX 460 is about the equivalent to the Radeon HD 6870 of the "high end" list as well...

    Not to be glib, but how is this possible?
    From what I've seen of this game, some archetypes are better at dealing damage, or buffing, or debuffing, etc, but all archetypes can do a little of everything and are able to take care of any oppenent they might have to face.

    Only in some specifics situations (some AVs came to mind...) do you need a specific type of power in order to get thru a specific combat, but even that can be argued against.

    All-the-same-AT teams play differently depending on the AT:

    I've been on an All-Tanker team, and the tactics was rougly "they can't hurt us much, so we get in their face and hit them until they fall",

    An All-Mastermind team will be more "Let's overwhelm them by sheer strength of numbers !".

    An All-Defender team: "We'll debuff them so much we'll only have to hit them with a feather for them to drop".

    EDIT: Too slow by 4 posts...

  10. Happy New Year, fellow Protectorites...

    May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift, your abs and your stocks not fall; and may your blood pressure, your triglycerides, your cholesterol, your white blood count and your mortgage interest not rise.

    May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, your cardiologist, your gastro-enterologist, your urologist, your proctologist, your podiatrist, your psychiatrist and your plumber.

    May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what others see in you delight them. May someone love you enough to forgive your faults, be blind to your blemishes, and tell the world about your virtues.

    May New Year's Eve find you seated around the table, together with your beloved family and cherished friends. May you find the food better, the environment quieter, the cost much cheaper, and the pleasure much more fulfilling than anything else you might ordinarily do that night.

    May the telemarketers wait to make their sales calls until you finish dinner, may the commercials on TV not be louder than the program you have been watching, and may your check book and your budget balance - and include generous amounts for charity.

    May you remember to say "I love you" at least once a day to your spouse, your child, your parent, your siblings; but not to your secretary, your nurse, your masseuse, your hairdresser or your tennis instructor.

    ... oh wait, that was last year...

  12. (I saw this thread, but I was not quite sure what to make of the answers given, so instead of Ressurecting the Dead, I decided to make a new thread)

    I'm planning to re-arrange the layout of my SG's base and I have a few questions...

    1) What is the minimum room size required for the Turbine Generator ? Will it fit in the 3x3 Energy Station ? Or should I plan for the 2x4 Energy Terminal ?

    2) Just for future reference, what is the minimum room size required for the Longbow Chaser ? Would it fit in a 2x2 room ?

    Thanks in advance !

    and right now it harder to find the money to keep COH going every month but if i dont want my guild to dissapper i need to pay to keep my guild up (i know that the guild will dissapper as it happen when WARCRAFT buring Curasde went live - i had a 8 room base anda 50 person guild that went to **** when it went live and my guild vansihed )
    (First of all, a friendly warning: don't use "guild" - use SuperGroup or SG for short )

    The 45 days auto-demotion only affects the "Leader" (Hero-side) or "Overlord" (Villain-side) rank - which is the highest rank. All other ranks are unaffected.

    If the "Leader/Overlord" is demoted, then the character belonging to the super group who was most recently logged in will automatically be assigned the rank of "Leader/Overlord", which can be a problem if it's not someone who you trust: the SG will not "disappear" as much as you'll have a tough time to getting back the keys to the front door...

    I think Korith and Mental might be able to attend the Toronto Fan Expo 2010 (Aug. 26-28), if our unofficial mention of it at the Montreal Comic Con becomes a viable project.
    Cool.

    With Gen Con earlier the same month (August 4-7), it might be a busy month for Protectorites...
  17. Sorry for the late update, but I've been under the weather since the 24th...

    I've received more cards...
    • StormVyxen's - "Tankers Rule!!!"
    • JJ Knight's - I've already met Stalemate and Ozmosis, we need to get something set up for you and Mental (who is in GTA, IIRC)...
    • and last but not least, a card from Statics Pin Cushion & Ms. Fortuna
  18. Maybe I have a bad case of 'deja vu', but I recall seeing a post about those action figures earlier this year (can't find the exact post, my search-fu is weak )

    That, and the writing of Jonathan "I'm as good as Grant Morrision, coz' it only makes sense in my head" Hickman prompted me to drop that series several months ago.

    I've been meaning to drop Secret Warriors as well, but I have this morbid curiosity to see how he will off the rest of the cast he himself created (2 down, 5 to go...).
  20. Happy Belated Birthday from me too...
