    Hopefully, they'll butt it up against The Twilight Zone, and perhaps some people's heads will literally explode from the juxtaposition. All due respect.
    Well all the porblems the SyFy channel have can be sumed up to one thing NBC owns them now, unless they have sold them when i was not looking. Farscape a hit show never understood why it was taken of the air. SG-1 and Atlantis were good shows. Universe just sucked it lacked the campy humor of SG-1 and Atlantis, they made the same mistake that they did with the new Battlestar, they made it a human soap opera boo hoo drama in space.
  2. Well looks like we are getting a good pick for lois this time around. But another skinny guy as superman oh well maybe they will CGI some muscles on him, or steriods..lol

    This movie is not worth the hype. The much hyped action was only about 20 minutes of the movie, the rest was like watching an episode of Hellcats on the CW what a waste.

    Lag Issues

    I'm thinking that if you have a robust internet connection then the slowdown probably isn't particularly noticeable. But if your connection was already mediocre then the issue is compounded mightily. Just a guess, as I know next to nothing about the technical issues involved.

    All I know for sure is that my send ping stays typical for my connection, but my receive ping has been tripled. Insane packet loss also sets in and I enter a downward spiral of ever increasing ping.

    I have been having the same problem ever since iusse 10, I solo mostly but when I do feel like teaming anything above 4 people and Im screwed, I happens as well when on the newer missions with scripted events like the building catching on fire thing or those bosses that talk smack while fighting them at certain points of the fight.

    This seems to only be missing on male toons, as it works just fine on my lady toons, but does not work on the male toons.

    In order to team, the teamers need folks to team.

    If the players are soloing, they are not teaming.

    This alarms the teamers big time as less fish in the pot means less a lower chance to find teams.

    That is why they are soo vocal, and using simply horrible terms to describe "Team Solo"

    "Team Solo" is bad news for "Team Team."

    Bull, Soloers arent going to join you anyway, and small teamers will not ether unless their friends are not on at the moment, etc. So If they are not joining you now, then getting some love on this issue not going to effect you in that way.
  7. Why are the Team Only Camp, so against us Solo/Small Teamers getting a little love on this?

    If it ain't broke dont fix it and our little no frills luncher aint broke, its perfect.

The latter only serves to discourage from further participating in incarnates which i'm at now since i'm contemplating starting another praetorian instead of working on my incarnate.

    I'm sure that's just the RNG, but when people are reporting getting like 10 shards or so in a single tf that's maybe averaging 1 hour of play...then there's me with 3 shard drops after a month and a half, then that is an issue that needs to be addressed.
    And,this. Same problem here.

I've done TF's with teams and have formed teams to solo TF's. But come on, give us solo folks the option of doing a TF solo. I don't care if I won't get a purple at the end of it, but haven't the ablitity to say "I have time today to do a TF" without the frustration of organizing a team and waiting on everyone else to show is worth the investment I put into the game.

    Sure I can spend less on the solo games out there that will deliver just the same amount of entertainment but I "choose" COH instead. And with just a little nudge from your part, it will be worth that much more!

    Solo end game would be nice but I haven't even touched end game yet and can't comment.
    And, This
  11. [

    Just because an MMO has an end game doesn't mean that end game has to revolve solely around team play. Is that how other MMO's do it? Yes it is. But what's wrong with a little innovation? CoH has always been strong in that department. The Devs have used the phrase "end game for all" as their goal for the Incarnate system. I challenge them to do just that. Make the system something that everyone who plays this game can truly enjoy. Let the soloist and the team player alike evolve their max level characters into walking gods and have fun while doing so. Then we'll have something truly unique among MMO's. We'll have an end game that doesn't exclude people arbitrarily based solely on their playstyle. Excluding people is what the competition does. Let's be better than them.[/QUOTE]

    Yes, This

    If the predominant content in the next 2 issues needs that alpha slotted, then looks like i would be missing out for the next half a year maybe?

    Not an amusing thought for me at all.
    Same goes for me as well. I have been playing since since i19, all solo, and have just today fianlly gotten enough shards for One incarnate salavge, and thats including the free one you get for the arc to unlock the slot.
  13. Yes I have noticed this as well, very annoying
  14. Ok this is getting very very fustrating, for the past 2 days I have not been able to get this booster becasue store is stuck on stupid. Some one has droped a big heavy bowling ball on there foot on this one.....grrrrrrrr
  15. Still Not Able To Buy It, Still Getting The Error Message grrrrrr, After Many Many trys
  16. It looks like something from Ben 10
  17. Oops, yeah Reeve, hehe I did not proof read my post
  18. Well i hope they get someone better to play the part this time, instead of a skinny kid that only got the part becasue he looked like Mr. Read.
  19. Allow us to Solo TF/SF, Please pretty Please, . Maybe even update them to work like the Oro type TF were we can set difficulty, temp/no temp powers type thing.
  20. To beable to color the green goo from spines...looks silly to have blue etc crystals with green goo.

    all Dark power sets need less magical looking animations...i.e. without skulls etc.


    Most of all, Power Pool Customization
  21. I would love to see some power sets, Dark Melee and Armor come to mind, have more generic flavor discriptions. What i mean is instead of "you tap into the neather world...blah blah", that it has a discription where it does not clash with the players concepts. My mutants do not tap into the neather world they tap into themselves. The same goes for the animations for Dark melee (especaily for stalkers), dark blast, misama, etc. They need alt power animations that do not have the skulls etc.. Its just to magical for non magic concepts. I would love to play a mutation dark melee stalker but i can not get around the assassin strike having a Huge Freaking Skull shooting at my target, just doesnt feel Mutation to me :/


    Sorry had to much caffinee this morning.
  22. Yes this has bug the hell out of me for so long it is annoying and immersion breaking to me...Its just plain silly and needs to go. Atleast have just one or two here or there in the cower animation and then when the battle starts have them run from the room and despawn.
  23. I am not a big fan of DA so I would suggest a DM/WP. The one i have is a beast.
  24. When I first heard about Stances I was really hopeful that they where adding something like Champions has where you can pick your movement and idle animations but then when i saw they where just emotes it was disappointing. That being said i still love the emotes just hate that we have to jump through hoops to half-*** get them to work with travel powers
