It really should be perhaps a case of 20 minutes to take down the banners, but once you do you get another 5 minutes to take down the GM.
    Actually, the timer reset after the banners were defeated. You had 16 minutes to defeat the banners (the timer would start at about 18 minutes but the defenders wouldn't start to spawn until 16:00) and then another 20 (!) minutes to defeat the Greater Aspect. Generally, if we were able to defeat the banners the GA was a piece of cake.

    I like the suggestion of having each banner defeated add to the time remaining. The number of times where we were about a minute shy of being able to take that last banner was greater than 5 over the course of the event.

    COH Mythbusters

    Myth: Electric Blast sucks
    Truth: Electric Blast performs in the middle of the blast sets. It's not Fire Blast, so stop trying to make it so.

    Myth: Endurance Drain is a worthless secondary effect.
    Truth: While not as useful as other secondary effects, it works just fine on Bosses and especially Elite Bosses.
  3. I was on a team last night that successfully did the Master of Kahn SF with reward and badge awarded.

    The order of activation for our AVs: Nemesis, Countess Crey, Vanessa DeVore, Gyrfalcon

    The order of defeat: Countess Crey, (Reichsmann), Gyrfalcon, Nemesis, Vanessa DeVore.

    Of note: Vanessa never attacked us; we had to go to her to attack her.

  4. I got my 60 month badge on June 21st.

    While I'll certainly enjoy the chance at a preview, I'm not the best Beta candidate. I just have too much going on to put the kind of time into being a good Beta tester. I (almost) felt bad about not being able to do enough for the I14 beta.

  5. Coolest?
    I guess Apex Predator, my Stalker.

    I like (almost) all of mine though.

    The next cool one I have waiting in the wings is Louisville Slugger, who'll be some sort of mace wielding character.

    Mutants:
    More faces
    New auras
    Aquatic costume set
    New costume change emotes (maybe a morph-style change?)
    No idea what the power would be.

    Natural:
    Addtional facial hair/makeup styles
    Additional period outfits (turn of the century, steampunk, etc.)
    Costume change emote: summons telephone booth, change inside
    I have no idea what a good natural bonus power would be.

    I was hoping the jet packs and other non-wing flying costume pieces would be in the science set, but maybe it'll make the natural set.

  7. I want there to be a auto-drop after X amount of time on global channels. The main channel for Justice is now starting on its fourth incarnation because the previous channels are full. Having the system remove accounts from a channel after not having logged on for 60 or 90 days would go a long way toward clearing out the deadwood and keep the channels available for active players.

    i kinda got burnt out on CoH too. Gonna take a break but i honestly don't know if i'm coming back. I'll probably re-activate just to see what's in the time capsule, but that's about it.

    things i think the game needs:

    -log out to character select screen
    -ability to mail things
    -windowed mode

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Windowed mode? We have had that since the beginning. The ability to change to window sizing is in the graphics setting option, at the bottom of the list of different resolutions.

  9. I just assume that it's inside the same extra-dimensional space that all our SGs/VGs occupy. We just don't rank so we never have a coalition with them.

    And, Hero-side you can take the Yellow Line Tram to Galaxy City and get to the Registrar there fairly quick.

    Actually, I usually go to Atlas Park because the O-Portal can drop you there, and zoning into Ouro is very fast.

    And on Red side, Pocket D goes to Port Oakes and the distance to the Admin office isn't very far; it's a small zone.

  13. The only one of note for me was asking Flagg to repost his ARCHVILLAINS posts. I have them archived locally, but I hope the forum versions don't get lost in the software change; they were awesome.

    I wonder what happened to him?

    yeah i figured that was why, but what if you want to sustain battles with one.

    Then you make sure you have a self-rez power or always keep a bunch of 'wakes on hand

    I started playing at ~10pm PDT and gave up by 11pm because I got map-server'd 3 times out of my mission. Reports in the global channels seem to indicate this is a cross server issue.

  17. Congrats Pohsyb! Now you can correctly declare that you have a life

  18. Elec/Elec Blasters are good as well, with Power Sink to refresh End when you get low.

    My Elec/NRG never runs out of end, even with a continuous attack chain, but I have him IOed out. I suspect that most builds can get End neutral with good use of IOs.

    Who else has done this before when they're on a team and know they can control when the cutscene is triggered and where it is?

    So, I have this friend, and he posts on these forums, and he's just kinda curious.

    Are you hot?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    She's a nerd girl, that means she's hot in my book, whatever she looks like.

    She's a nerd girl who could probably beat me on an IQ test comparison. Doubly hot.

    She's self-confident, and more than able to stand up for herself on the forums. Combined with everything above, off the scale hot.

    em: sits back and waits to see what kind of humor Arcanaville's response to this will have. This could be good.

    ^^ This. A woman with a capable mind always has my interest and one who may be smarter than I am, double so

    And for the impatient: a quick look at her posting habits will show that she rarely posts on the weekends.

    Why do I know I her posting habits? Um... well, I have her account profile bookmarked so I can check what she's said recently. Aracanaville fanboy FTW

    It does have that appearance doesn't it.

    Torroes, since there are more people here on Justice, then in your 'HeroCon Caravan' thread, I figured you'd need a bigger cake.

    While I'm sure it's very tasty, that's one evil looking cake. Just sayin.
