  1. I know it's a dev's choice ,but Saul Rubenstien's Discount TF by Ascendant. If you want to see a funny, well done, and one with attention to detail, this is it.
  2. I fail to understand how it's a "moral necessity."

    How is it any different now than it was before AE? Prices? Look back. People complained about prices from the beginning. I remember even in beta, it was proposed Boresights were going to be the hot commodity due to being needed for level 30 ACC IO's. ( right reasons, wrong salvage, it was Alch silvers) Availability? You can still get it the same way we all used to. Go run missions, either AE or other. The 8 ticket cost for random is similar ( although I think better ) to how we used to get salvage we didn't want to pay for. Your argument is no different than if there was no AE. "I farmed DA for an hour . Filled my salvage and still didn't get the one I needed." Sound familiar? Tickets just mean you have more chances to get what you want. And sometimes, the dice don't roll your way.

    I think it's fine the way it is.

    One way to find out just wait and run one mission in AE and one out and compare the exp, more of a surprise like that.

    I don't know about you but I'd rather not waste that kind of time.

    You do realize, by the time you log in on Friday afternoon/evening, the question will be answered.

    If you intend to take the day off and do nothing but run missions, then taking 15 minutes out of your busy leveling schedule won't make that big a difference, will it?

    And if you only play for an hour a day and it must be during the first hour after 2 exp goes into effect, then just run a few radio missions. The time lost in travel won't make that big a deal either.

    Has AE KOed CoX?

    It surprises me that Cap and AP are the two big spots for the AE Farmers.
    Talos or Steel Canyon strike me as being the counterparts to Cap, not AP.
    And Mercy is CoV's counterpoint to GC and AP, and has an AE building, yet it's quiet.

    Atlas is Easy. First zone, has market across the street from the AE, Trainer is another hop away. Everything you need is close and easy. Only thing Atlas doesn't have is a crafting table (join an SG) and access to the green line.

    Cap is a junction for everything, and the trainer is close to AE, the Market isn't too far off, and it has a crafting table almost as close. Mercy has no table, and the SG entrance is way far off.

    Port Oakes made more sense to me to become the AE hub redside. It's set up better than Mercy, has more and is only the second zone to reach. Cap's a lot more dangerous to try and reach without any travel power. ( not saying it can't be done)

    They already have a screen shot revealing blue fire imps, so don't get your hopes up.



    [/ QUOTE ]

    The blue fire imps are because of power customization. You'll get to change the color of your powers.
  6. magentrix I think has the right idea. I think gravity as a primary will work well. You're looking to lock down individual annoyances.

    Earth would be good for large groups of mobs as well. Two of it's main powers, quicksand and earthquake, recharge rapidly and can be used on every group. Furthermore, you can cast them without LOS. Step around a corner, cast, then let your MM buddies take over.

    As for secondary, pretty much any, but energy can be good choice for your situation. Heavy hits, and power boost can be a mini domination button when you have to lock someone down NOW! Realize, power boost doesn't work on several earth powers.
  7. They know about the costume problem. It was deemed High priority, but not game stopping.

    BABs on the bug
  8. I was one of the Steel 60 and I STILL like Rikti invasion events. Granted, a week is too long but a weekend of them? Perfect.
  9. I think you meant this to be in the MA forum.

    This is the evil marketeering forum, where we take your ideas and make profit on them.

    Black Screen

    OK, I resolved it in an odd way, but works well for me.

    It appears the drivers for the gt250 are the same as the 9800gts.

    Using the Machin00's method did not work, but what I did get to work was uninstall all the gt250 drivers, and load the last 185 driver for the 9800gts. It works fine now.

    Black Screen

    Similar problem, so I thought I'd ask in this thread.

    Brand new install, computer built from the ground up. Will not run CoH. Black Screen when I do. I load the older Nvidia drivers, and I get this:

    You card or driver doesn't support GL_ARB_multitexture


    You card or driver doesn't support GL_ARB_texture_compression

    I've a geforce GTS 250. If I load the most recent drivers, I just get the black screen. Roll back, and I get the preceding messages.

    I got the game to run at one point, but I had to reset the resolution and haven't been able to get back in.

    Safe mode doesn't work either.

    The 50/50 Split.

    Yes, he farms you for recipes.
  13. My fire/ice blaster may get a more blue/white coloring for his fire blasts. I'll have to play with it to see what looks right for him.

    My Arch/ MM will probably get what ever color ends up closest to invisible for his MM secondary.
  14. Could also have been as simple as a slipped finger on a 10 mill bid.

    Like none of us have ever added an extra 0 to a bid.

    PUNDAY returns?

    *clears his throat.*

    *Decides to wait for a formal announcement before breaking out the announcing voice.*
  16. Someone bought a common salvage off me for 1 mill yesterday. All the bids were at 10k, so it was an obvious finger slip. I was just lucky enough to be the one with the lowest priced piece.
  17. Doesn't prestige leave when the character leaves a SG? If you were to do this, they would have to use the prestige almost immediately, and you would have to stay a member of their SG until it is used up.

    If not, then all is good. I've never really delved into the SG/prestige/recruit dynamic.
  18. I use Leandro's mission formater. I may have to check and see if that makes a difference. I find that thing great for creating mission and being able to just drop them into the mission file.
  19. The first entry for one of my characters was written entirely by a friend, so I guess you could say it was a massive edit.

    If I saw something I thought needed changing on someone's page, I'd contact them about it. If they said change it, then ok. Other than that I'd pretty much not touch another person's VV page.
  20. a group of defenders.

  22. The only problem I have with knockback is when someone opens with an AOE knockback power as I try to open a fight with Soul Drain on my DM/SR scrapper. Other than that, I can deal with it.
  23. We're not doing their job for them. They gave us access to do what many of us have been asking. The ability to create customized content.

    It's the chance to make a mission how you think it should be done. It's the ability to tell a story that you think needs to be told in the game. It's a chance to express ideas and share them with others. It's the opportunity to invite people into your little corner of the game and let them see what you see.
