Not gonna happen. But, the Distinguished Competition has a staff-fighting set, and I must say this is hella cool. And you can customize the staff with many pretty variants, some of which have glow-in-the-dark parts. We could use this over here.

Heaven forfend that someone, somewhere do something that makes it one smidgen easier to reach the literal last outpost in the game: the Storm Palace. NO TP FOR YOU! No! You will trudge barefoot through the snow at Walk speed to get there, and you will like it!

I have to say that badge-hunting in the Shard is an exercise in patience. Baby, you better really want those badges, cause they ain't gonna come easy. "King of Pain," indeed.

Citadel is actually my least favorite TF of all time. I actually like Dr Q better than that, and no I am not joking. The underground Council base is my least fav map ever - yes, even least-er than the CoT doughnut cave room map - and so I have almost no incentive to run it except on people who need that badge.

Good gawd devs, please pull a Positron on the rest of these ancient, repetitive TF warhorses. Ugh. Yesterday is not too soon.

...Look, my villains want to get on a team now and then, ok?

Although after some thought I have decided to keep my account current, Reischmann was a big factor in a recent cancelling of my account. I'm back now. But Reischmann is one of the worst TFs in the entire game. I am maintaining my account SOLELY because I love my CoX characters and don't want to abandon them.... but....

I had been mulling over a decision to try the most recent superhero-genre game out the gate. The night before I cancelled my NCSoft account, I was on a team that beat on Reischmann for 30+ minutes.

Thirty minutes, people. Thirty minutes of the exact same thing. Well, other than my Blaster being repeatedly stunned and killed - I do carry a lot of BFs, but my inspiration-capacity does have a limit.

Right before we finally beat Reischmann, I thought, "You know, I have been here since 2006 AND **** THIS!!" I was bored. I finally *realized* that I was bored. And I decided to give That New Game a try. It was like I hit critical mass with CoX.

Also adding to my frustration: I am primarily a solo player. I am having TREMENDOUS trouble alpha-slotting my level 50s since I mostly solo. If I team for the TF Of The Week, well looky-here! Its always a speed-run because someone has an hour to play, so we cant do a shard-run... and I end up with two shards. Whoopee-****ing do, people. This is locking me out of end-game content. Out of 15 level 50s, THREE, a total of THREE have the alpha slot filled. Only one of those is at third tier.

Now some may shout, "BAD MIGHT LEAVE THE GAME, WOOOOOO-HOOOOO!" true enough, but try to look past that, and realize that this mindset is not that hot of a thing for CoX. Boredom and making it impossible for people to attain end-game stuff is not a recipe for keeping people in this game. Other New Shinies are out there..... and although of course they don't have all of the bells and whistles that CoX has after [?] years, they're...still pretty new and shiny. AND THEY DON"T HAVE YOU BEATING ON THE SAME FREAKING GUY FOR A HALF-HOUR!

The developers might want to rethink this stance manifested by an AV such as Reischmann. I mean, my account is still current; but I spend the majority of my gaming-time over in The New Shiny these days. Reischmann is Epic Fail and my not being able to get my 50s to the true end-game content is Epic Fail. If you disagree, that is [general] your right, but meanwhile my CoX account is mostly stagnant.

I wonder how many are in that same boat with "FRUSTRATION" writ large across the stern? Not everyone, but I'd bet money I'm not the only one somewhat disillusioned at this point.

That's like telling people "...just wait till the heat death of the universe; no need to delete 50s, just wait till the universe implodes!"..... because that's about how long you will wait for a free transfer period. We've had what? Two of those? With no new ones on the horizon.

This is just me, if I am already iffy about a character I am probably not going to deem them worthy of a ten-dollar further outlay - I'm just going to clear them off the roster.

I was with you until that last comma, and then you spun off into an alternate universe as I scratched my head and wondered about the concept of "guilt" in a milieu where what you did hurt exactly no one. Not even yourself.

The way I see it, altough I love the inherent Fitness pool, now I HAVE to take Hurdle and I find it to be a pain, even unslotted. Why is that? Because..... I had it perfectly figured out how far I needed to be away from something to land on it.

NOT ANYMORE! Now I am leaping all over the place like some latter day rabbit on steroids, even with Hurdle unslotted. This is most noticeable in missions such as Trapdoor's, where I have to jump down twenty vents in the floor to progresss through the map - and in a tight space, at that.

I'd be fine with nerfing Hurdle and buffing Swift. People who SJ are way too catered-to in this game and Flight needs a little love. For people who love to jump, their stuff has no downsides. Can Flight say the same? We all know the answer.

Not so much, since if I wished to do such a thing I would be amongst the fallen.

I do not object to large breasts. What I object to is a continual stream of "lookit MEEE!" online behavior. I object to the passive-aggressive overuse of . Its just stupid and annoying, much like catgirls who post in global channels "ADORABLEGIRL! *pounce!* *mew!* *lick!* *nibble!* *bite!* *huggies!*!!!!!*" when a friend named Adorablegirl signs on. Nothing will get [general] you /gignored faster over here, whether in the game or on these forums.

All the better, and illustrating my earlier point nicely: the hands are already in the game.. Enable them with NEW GLOVES COMING OUT, everyone happy and problem solved.

Speaking generally, I have never said that all old glove art should be redone. NEW. GLOVES. ONLY.

Oh balderdash! The gloves are in the game RIGHT THIS MINUTE. Artwork already done. Animation already done. We should not even have to have this argument, this should have been ported over for player use aeons ago. Make it happen, devs.

Well, that's a nice explaination but does nothing to address why, right this minute, Arachnos have seperate fingers while we the players do not.

Again, I have no expectation that the art department is going to go through all the old gloves and change every last one of them. New gloves, however at the very least should be at least as good as the Arachnos hands - which are in the game now. I do not believe this is too much to ask.

Jealous? I have my own rack. I'm secure enough about it to not need continual validation of my charms on a freakin' MMORPG message board.

As for whether or not my prior post is "factual," people here are not idiots and they can judge Golden Irrelevancy's posts for themselves because her behavior is not all that hard to suss out

And as far as I'm concerned, I'm done talking about the issue. If you get my drift and I think ya do

"What are you wearing?" chatrooms are the place for pix/talk of ginormous racks; not here. But perhaps that is just me.

When someone has to resort to bragging about said rack in an effort to keep attention on herself [and posting the pictures that she does is doing just that], this really says all that need be said. Adulation should be won due to the wit and wisdom, or even the controversy, of one's posts - not one's rack. Unless, of course, one is in a What Are You Wearing? forum.

But I am not male, no doubt you see it differently.

For the last five years of my mare's life, I rarely got on her back. She was a pet. A very expensive pet, but a pet - not a working animal.

If you love horses, you enjoy their company without having to be running them all over the countryside in a mad dash.

Back the the subject at hand: we already have a "fish" head, it was in the Mutant pack. My money is on that being as fishy as it gets, folks.

Some of us do not wish to be trounced, tackled, pounced or bear-hugged by perfect strangers. Ixnay to enabling player closeness in such a fashion.... and 90% of the time this would be used by people you don't even know, as you stand there at the market trying to decide if you really want to pay that much for a Stabilized Mutant Genome.

Nope. The real Vanguard "shoulder" part actually includes the piece that extends down the back. That is what I was told last time I said I wanted it, at any rate. "Oh no! That's actually part of the shoulder piece!"

This is why my villains run each Mayhem ONCE, to get the temp power and the badge, and that's it for that zone. The Mayhem in Sharkhead is particularly brutal. Once is enough for me.

.... *raises a brow* and there's that, true enough. Good point. It seems like that's going by the wayside, though.
