  1. It worked! Thank you for your help! XD
  2. I bought the powerset 20 days ago, made a toon, played through the tutorial, then put it aside for later.

    I come back and it says the character is locked because I have to purchase Titan Weapons powerset. So I figure, maybe a mistake, click on the link to market, click buy (I have plenty of points) and it says "The quantity requested exceeds the current maximum allowed. Please reduce the quantity selected or try again later."

    I checked Known Issues, what is wrong?

    Missuse of /hc ?

    I like to leave the Help channel open myself, but it became detrimental to my mission when people just WOULD not shut up. I put a few on Ignore--but I've been playing for years, and my ignore list was already full--and one-starred a few who were using the channel to mock people, but it was scrolling faster than my NPC dialogue.

    I will be taking it off my Global.

    We do need more server wide channels, longer lists for Ignore, and we need monitors on the globals.
  5. Considering I dropped comics because the people who control them were treating their customers like dirt last year, I don't see making the properties big money will do any good for the genre.

    When you stop paying your sub, the company assumes you'll be back when you have the money. When you quit, you fill out why you never want to play again despite still having money left on your sub. It's srz.

    Many of those people never bothered to even read the forums, much less make ragequit posts.

    I miss the funny. :'(

    :/ I normally solo and check the tailor on Recommended settings, and couldn't tell any real difference between old and new faces. I'll check again on Ultra, but I'm not sure the new face tech is worth it.

    There needs to be a poll on how good people's computers are that play CoH. How many play full Ultra all the time, etc.
  10. Why do people keep saying the female hair under the top hat with curls isn't tintable? I got blue hair when I was playing with my new pack live...

    Also, I thought the pack came with new face maps or something. All I found were two new female faces. It didn't do anything to the old faces.

Race is sort of important to Luke's background. I don't care if Luke's girlfriends are non-black, one was a moll, one was a fashion model, one was a bleeding heart doctor (his wife is very very recent)--race is not really important to their characters. Iron Fist don't have to be white, but he can't be black.

  13. I'm not sure this would have a wide appeal.

    Otherwise, do go with Thugs/TA! (If you ever get around to it) Its great in both PVE/PVP
    Concepts are the true killer of characters. :'(

    ..Does anyone use the gun powers with secondaries other than Trick Arrow?

    I will be glad when people stop looking down their noses at one another based on what servers we play on. There are good players and bad players on every server. Just because a person plays on a less populated server does not mean you are a better player than anyone else. OP, this isn't really directed at you personally, but I am just referring to the all too palpable sentiment that playing on Freedom is so frowned upon on the forums.
    Now that is incorrect. If you love love teaming to the point that you start whining whenever you have to solo, and rp gives you hives, then I very much recommend Freedom. Whenever I run into people making fun of rp on Virtue, and ask "why would you come to a rp server?" and they say "because there were so many people here!", I recommend Freedom. God knows, my kid loves playing there. I used to have toons there before my kid deleted them all, believing it was *his* server.

    But it *is* laggy and crowded.

    Look, when someone doesnt want you on a team because you dont fit their ideal.. I usually count myself lucky as not being on that team.. I have found 90% of the time that I just missed out on being on TEAM STUPID that doesnt work together a a team, dies a lot and is looking for buffs to overcome their stupidity.. As I always say.. you cant heal stupid...

    I got on a team once that said they were looking for a defender.. So I joined with my Rad/Rad.. I get YAY DEFENDER.. ok no more dying ( that was a bad sign right there)

    they were fighting some +3's so Im laying down the debuffs on the mobs and attacking..and we are starting to plow through them... but we are taking some damage ( although no had died since i joined the team )and the team leader screams at me..

    STOP ATTACKING JUST HEAL... I said well I have a lot of debuffs and... again the team STOP ATTACKING JUST HEAL...

    So I stopped attacking... and just threw out my very small AoE Heal...

    and the team died... everyone said wait what happened.. we were doing good..

    I said.. Oh well that was my fault..

    See I had Radiation Infection which is a 50% defense debuff and a 48% to hit debuff.. but I shut that off so I could just heal like the leader said.

    Then I had Enervating Field running which brought their reistance down 30% and brought their damage down 25% but I shut that off so I could heal..

    Oh yeah and then I was using Lingering Radiation cut their regen 500% and theire recharge rate 25% but i stopped doing that so I could heal...

    And I stopped using Irradiate which is another 50% defense debuff in an area and Neutron Bomb which is another 25% defense debuff in an area bcause I was told STOP ATTACKING JUST HEAL...

    OH and I stopped dropping Accelerate Metabolism which was buffing your damage 30% and yor recharge 25% well because its not a heal and I was told JUST HEAL...

    So wait classic here.. someone asks for the star so they can invite a friend.. and the leader was kicked LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I am laughing, even while I disapprove.
  22. Do not go with Thugs/Trick Arrow. The redraws will drive you out of your mind.

    I have a ninja master that does fine with Ninja/Traps. But concealment is very much how we complete missions.

    My Demons/Weather steamrolls everything. When soloing, I put the whip on autofire and act like a tank mage. We go so fast there's no point in using my secondary debuffs.

    EEK. That is a scary article. I am suddenly so grateful that my ADD means I get bored much much faster than an average person. My hatred of literal farming and PVP and raids and patchwork costumes and outleveling my superawesome sword that summoned a dragon and inability to team with whoever I wanted are what drove me away from That Other MMO and IT SAVED ME!

    That's why psychologists talk about mobs basically taking over people's minds. However, I don't think herds are individuals anymore than corporations are.

    It felt like Lucas wasn't satisfied with his portrayal in the movies and decided to rewrite the character.
    How..shocking. Lucas isn't the only writer who can't stop trying to get it right. You see a lot of miniseries of past events that are the original writer purportedly writing as he would've wanted it to go, if editorial hadn't interfered.
