I went and snagged a video of all Widows Vista's Arachnos costumes. Mostly the one with the buttcape.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow- it looks great and I love the colors you used!!

[ QUOTE ]
I hope this is not the beginning of a bunch of AT specific costume pieces.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, it's the second- counting the arms back pack for the banes. But this one is gender specific.

Works fine- I like the look!!

^^^^ what 15th said and add an address to Poopy that for every 1 pve person there is a pvp person with 3-4 accounts for pvp. You do the math cause the last time I checked most pve players are still just that .. pve players. Nc lost 20% of the subscriber base according to the latest poll. WHO do you think it was that left?



[/ QUOTE ]

Out of curiosity- where did you see this poll?

*grins* Fortunata Buttcape is meeee!

LMAO!!

Great name!!

Treespec Trials. 45 Merits in 60 minutes. That beats both Positron and Citadel.

[/ QUOTE ]

So, for villians to compete with heroes they have to be lvl 44+ vs. a lvl 10+ for heroes.

No, no inequality at all.

Plus, I have yet to be on a treespec that wasn't 25-35 minutes.

[/ QUOTE ]1) Treespecs are available 24+, not 44+.
2) It's rare that a merit farmer isn't level 50 anyway, regardless of what they are farming. A 50 has access to more inf/time, more slots, and better enhancements than any other level character.
3) Matthew Burke -> Billie Heck -> Dimitri Krylov = 31 merits by level 15, with only 1 contact in each 5-level block range
Flux -> (Jill Pastor or Kyle Peck or Tristan Caine) = 20 merits by level 15, with only 1 contact in each 5-level block range

In order for Heroes to surpass Villains in merit rewards in the early levels, they have to run what is often claimed to be one of the worst TFs in the game. And barring a superteam, you're simply not going to take 8 level 10 characters through Positron successfully, and probably not even 3 level 10 characters. By the time the heroes have a chance of completing Positron in a time frame that makes it worth it for more than just the badge, Villains have access to Virgil Tarikoss, the villainside Katie.

[/ QUOTE ]

To get 45 merits from the treespec in under an hour you would have to do all of them. All 3 of them 24+ 34+ and 44+. so yes, lvl 44+ for villians vs. 64 at 10+ for heroes.

and failing positron? LOL- that stupid TF doesn't even have an AV in it- a 3 person team even at lvl 10 will wreck it if the players are half competent.

Nice comparisions to villians arcs but lets remeber- you can't re-do them until you open oroborus. You can just keep doing posi all you want.

Honest question to you Smurphy-

Why do you think the Devs have NOT merged the markets yet?

[/ QUOTE ]

Merging the market requires doing something. Not merging the market requires nothing. Also, a long time ago in a post long eaten by the forum monster Ex Libris stated that she enjoyed a "dynamic" market. I believe those were her words.

That is a rational and logical opinion. A dynamic market where the prices change frequently can be more fun and more game like. A merged market would be more stable and less dynamic. A merged market would function more like a store than an flea market where bargains can be found. Perhaps the dev team has the "we like dynamic environment" attitude towards the markets.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanx for the answer.

As usual, my answer to this suggestion is INCREASE the earning capability on redside to compete with blueside then merge the markets....

We might be "almost" there with AE.

Time will tell.

[/ QUOTE ]

From all signs I have seen the earning capacity is roughly the same in a merit per time or inf per time comparison from redside to blueside. Synapse has stated the Merits per 1-50 is higher blueside. That doesn't necessarily mean Merits per hour though.

Redside farmers are similarly capable as blueside farmers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Loose definetion of roughly- I have yet to see ANY equality between the two sides. Citadel TF 1 hour and 20 minutes- 40 merits. NOTHING villian side can even compete with that. Don't even get me started on positron TF- 64 merits before villians even get access to thier first SF.

I have NO faith in synapse being in charge of this system. Especially since the latest datamining skewed towards heroes even more. It shows he doesn't know the game at all.

Whew- sorry- sidetracked into a rant there.

Either way.

LOL- thanx for your answers.

Ohhhh a nice new shiney guide...and on a AT and powersets I am currently leveling up and enjoying (for the most part).

Yay!!

Thanx for the info.

Great picture and neat site.

Will I be able to use contacts like Unai Kemen (Portal Corp in PI,) as a contact for my created mission?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes.

So-

I have a hero that's wants to access a arc written by someone- but he contact is TV- How would I get my hero to Grandville to contact TV?

Or is the contact also something that is "there" when you access the MA Arc?

Would be a nice way to finally implement cross faction missions.

[ QUOTE ]
Can a single mission arc have more than one contact? For example, after completing Mission 1 from Contact A, you are directed to Contact B who gives you Mission 2?

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe- we have that now kinda of with Fed Ex missions- like go talk to the AP security cheif, who then sends you deep into Perez park so you can learn about Debt.

LOL!!

Glad you had a good b-day!

Happy birthday!!

=D

For those who are alarmed they didn't get an invite, I would think this 1st phase is for the "Friends & Family" group. The announcement was most likely a head's up for Arena Ladder players.

[/ QUOTE ]

LOL Arena ladder PvP.

Okay i just got a message from supportncsoft.com and does this mean i can enter the closed beta?

[/ QUOTE ]

Ugh...

What does the message say?

Does it say you have been chosen for closed Beta on I14?

If so.........

No. Mail me the link- it was sent to you in error.

*checks email to see if he has an invite*

Nope, which is par for the course today, Worst Friday the 13th ever.

*cries*

I could have gone out with that tall, dark and handsome MA, but my date for tonight is... Snaptooth?!?!?!

[/ QUOTE ]

.............................again.

Ohhhhhh......

Evil thought for the day-

PM a bunch of people on the forums when they are offline-
This will give them an email in there inbox of their regualr email service, saying you have a new message from NCSoftatautsin
They freak out thinking they just got a covetted beta invite-
They go to the forums top check said message
The message just says "Psyche!!! This is NOT a beta invite!"

Ohhhhh ohhhhhhhh.......

LOL

I would NEVER do that....

Just my $.02, I'm happy to get a little teaser, but I don't like how they attempt to write in things like the MA as part of the CoH storyline. Probably just me, it just doesn't make any sense IMO and should just be kept as an out of game lore content creator. I feel the same way about writing proliferation into the story line. Do we really need to explain in game why villains can carry a mace now?

Don't mean to be negative, it's just a little thing that bugs me. Overall it looks great and I'm glad to see some pics!

[/ QUOTE ]


This.

Stop trying to explain meta-game things that don't require in-game explanations.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed.

Yeah, I was really happy with the merits- when I thought they were just for pool C.

Now.......wow- the villians side market needs help.

PERC won't do Hami raids, I don't believe. Speaking from experience, of course.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, with our new rules intact, we are allowed to do Hami-raids through PERC. If that is something people would really be interested in, I will do my best to get it rolling. They are difficult to start up, but once we have a few under our belt, it should be fine.

[/ QUOTE ]

Curious here- what are the new rules as opposed to the old ones?
