I have been very ill sleeping on and off for the most part today. I knew my account expired today, the 26th but was unsure what time.. I just logged into my NC account a moment ago and noticed it had just expired. I re-up'd my subscription immediately.. But, will I no longer be eligible for my 7 Years / Vanguard Pack bonus?

See you there

Other than my enormous amount of love for Avatea, there is one person I'd like to specifically address for this occasion and that person is @Steele Magnolia.

You've been one of the best friends a person could possibly have and have helped me in more ways than I can put to words. Knowing you can trust someone with anything and having never met them is a very special feeling and I hope everyone has a chance to meet someone half as kind hearted as yourself. It's people like you in this gaming community that keep me around and I hope we keep in touch as the years pass.

You've always been the best.

Love,
Annihilius

I'm your biggest fan and I'll follow you untill you love meee~ Ava-Avateaa.
There's no other super-hero I'd rather rescue my cat from a treee- Ava, Avateeaaa.

I know our alignments are of different kinds, but I won't stop until Avatea is miiiiine.

I'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until you love me, Ava-Avateaaa.

This is my cover of the song 'Paparazzi' by Lady Gaga and it's straight from my heart to a special someone.

By 'true' villain, I believe they just mean one that's completed a full patron's arc and deemed 'worthy' to say.. Not your alignment. However, in order to access patrons, you must be a villain/rogue.. This could be misconstrued pretty easily.

Without a Mastermind or Defender, after 80% HP (his unaffected stage) you can only deal damage to Reichsman in increments of 3,000. Deal mass damage, he'll heal it all up except for 3,000 of the damage done. Then, he repeats. Now, you say, "what's the big deal?"

He has over 200,000 HP.

Doesn't matter the debuffs you have and regeneration debuff will have no affect on this either. Debuffs can only speed up the overall time it'll take. Still takes an hour plus if you don't have -100% resist debuffs on him.

I have been on teams that've cleared this SF in a matter of an hour or less.

This past team, we got to the final mission in about 45 minutes, spent an hour and a half - two hours swinging on him (in his 'phase / dephase / regen' stage) and even with Vanguard heavies and shivans, eventually had to give up. We had a great team, but without the Mastermind or Defender, it just wasn't possible. Our problem wasn't surviving or damage, we could do both. It was the fact that after hours we were only at 50% of his hit points and no one (including me) had the patience to sit there for another hour+ swinging on him.

Now I'm not one to lose my temper over stupid things like this, but are you kidding me?

I just spent three hours doing this god damned task force, just to find that at the FINAL Reichsman battle we required a Mastermind and thus, FAILED.

Where the hell in this task force does it mention this?

Why doesn't Barracuda BEFORE giving me this task tell me, "Hey, Annihilius, you need a Mastermind or you can't complete this task force!"

Would've REALLY helped.

I'm almost positive I'm NOT the only person to encounter this and it IS garbage.

I apologize for the rant, but seriously, is this not complete crap? Does anyone else agree with me?

So, three years later I still cannot receive more Nectar for my main character. I received the award about three years ago and ever since have not been able to receive it again.

Why isn't this temporary power being awarded? Is it really a one time thing? If so, what is the point of this event for toons that've already done it?

Weird, never seen a booster pack thrown on test before- I'm curious on the potential glitches that could even exist, I feel this is more of a tease than anything. None the less, gonna go hop on now and take a look now.

Avatea, gimme love.

This pack should be a lot of fun. I especially look forward to Beast Run for my Ghoul Costume perk, should look extra creepy! Which leads me to my next question, Avatea, my love, will there be sound effects as seen in the Beast Pack trailer with Beast Run?

One question. Will the Beast Run power come with the sound effects as shown in the trailer? Kind of hoping it doesn't, just curious.

I smell a huge bug on the way with 84.

Erm.

Did I hear temporary powers? As in, more than one? Or are we exaggerating the Nectar's effects again?

Rule #1: Don't use your email as a storage!

If you give a GM a time frame and let them know who it was sent from and who it went to, they can likely assist you faster.

Thank you all for your opinions on this here subject..

As for me, I started playing the City of games when City of Villains was first released, prior to I had no interest and still have very little in the hero side of the game (grin).

I am one of those big badge hunters that gets upset when he's told he can't have a badge but do understand that not everyone gets everything always.

My only real complaint is the 5th Column gladiator not being accessible by Villains or any players that were not around for year one. There's no real reason for this.

As for the 'Purchase Celebrant badges, etc using V/H merits' ... I actually like this idea.

I would work my butt off to get 30 Vill/Hero merits and spend them on the Celebrant badge instead of a 2.5-3 billion recipe, and happily!

So, for months I've been meaning to bring this up but haven't really gotten around to it- the 5th Column Gladiator badge is for getting both, the year 1 and 2 badges (Celebrant and Reveler).

Since Villains didn't exist in year one, is it safe to say we will never have access to the 5th Column Gladiator? Does this also mean that Hero badgers will always have a higher count than Villains by two? (Since Celebrant and 5th Column Gladiator are the only two badges Villains have no access to.)

Interested in other people's thoughts on this subject.

Unfortunately, many of the Game Masters are pretty uptight.. The rules have changed much amongst the years and they are unable to help the way they used to.

It used to be if for example a mission in a strike force was bugged, they'd drop the mission for you. Now, if a mission is bugged during a strike force, your team has to quit and start over no matter how far along you are, as some GM's are not permitted to drop missions / do much of anything but unstuck your character.

If you are having trouble with a specific GM, I'd start by contacting a community specialist with your complaint.

Personally, I love PlayNC's support team and have never had to deal with a GM being rude or anything of the sort, if they don't do something for you, it's likely just 'out of their hands', otherwise they are usually more than happy to go out of their way to help under most any circumstance.
