    Please bear with me if these questions have been answered elsewhere. I am still learning my way around the board. Everytime I try to play the trial I can't because the screen just blinks rapidly, so I am just going to assume I like the game and get it later today. But before I do I just have a few questions. I apologize if these questions seem like trolling for the MMO I just finished playing (EQ2). Sometimes it is just easier to compare it to what you are used to. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    1. If I buy the Going Rogue Complete Set, I don't have to buy the other expansions right?

    2. Is this a game you can solo all the way to the level cap?

    3. I am going to assume that if that is true, there certain ones that are easier to solo with than others. Is that correct?

    4. How is the balance? Are there certain (I have no idea what the term is for the different "combos") that are just pointless or nerfed to heck?

    5. In EQ2, (sorry) in order to get reasonably good gear, you HAD to group/raid. Is that the case here? (I'm ok with that.)

    6. Are there tradeskills?

    7. Are there servers well populated? Any recommendations for a server if I tend to play between 9PM and 12AM PST?

    Thanks again for all the help.
    Hi not going to answer the questions because I'm sure one of the many posts above me will have done it.

    Just wanted to say not a Wall of Text at all. Very easy to read.
  2. HaHa I found a link before anyone else could come along.

    http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Abbreviations

    Click on that and you will learn all. Oh, while I am here, can someone tell me how to make that link say something like "Click here for Abbreviations please."

    A scrapper is a type of ArchType (type of hero) that specialises in melee combat. They can use Martial Arts, Dark Energy Attacks, Fists of Fire and lots of other stuff. Defense wise they can have super reflexes to dodge attacks, or maybe the ability to Regenerate if you want.

    Scrappers are generally considered the easiest to begin exploring the game with. I started with a blaster who died all the time and quickly moved on to a Fire Controller. (Blasters are well, they blast things from a distance for the most part. Controllers are good at locking baddies down in different ways so that they can not attack, have pets that attack for you, and as a secondary can allow teams to do more damage, make it tougher to be hit and much much more.)

    There are also Tanks, and Defenders, a whole bunch of villian types as well.
    Lots of variety to choose from.

    I'll let someone else talk about those if they want to.

    So yeah, thats all I wanted to say.

    Welcome to the game and I hope you enjoy it enough to stay.

    Well, guess I wasn't the first after all. Oh well.

    Oh, I no longer bother.

    Which is kind of odd because they have the AE edition. Maybe that is why.
  4. During Free Server Transfers if you are willing to waste 2 spots here is all you have to do.

    Go to a sever you seldom use and create a hero(Blue Crusader for our example) with the same name you want to change on the original server.

    Transfer the original Blue Crusader over to the seldom used server. This will give him the name of Blue Crusader1.

    Flashing at the bottom will be the Rename button. Click on it, rename your hero and then just transfer him back.

    Renamed and no cost.

    Hope that makes sense.

    If you use it enough it will become one. Then when someone uses it back in response to something you say your response can be 'I'm sorry. You are not using adrenalistic in the right context.'

    Sadly my words never seem to catch on. I guess the world isn't ready for 'elelbooel' which if it isn't obvious is just another way of saying purple. Oh well, silly world.
  7. I think I spent quite a bit of time in my first week trying to figure out how to ride on the cars. Only really gave it up when I realized I could slide on rails. Way too much fun.
  8. I really enjoy the Synapse TF. The suggestion of the clockwork shield is neat though.

    Now only if they can do something about the Numina TF....

    Thats funny stuff. TY
  10. How long did it take in total? A week or so?
  11. I didn't actually expect anything base wise with Rogue/I18. If we are lucky we will get something with I20. Not sure why I think that but it feels right. Perhaps that will give them time to design a better system which will allow exhisting bases to transported over to the new, cool actually functions intuitively system I hope they design.

    I wasn't around for the CoP but I'm glad they brought it back if it makes people happy. Rewards are what they are. I still run Katies just because it is fun and I like to have the option of having the hat. I never use it but I always figure one day I will.

    I understand what you are saying though. This might of been a missed oportunity for them. New and returning players will be everywhere.

    A missed opportunity is definately better then a 2nd broken system. Not that I am totally sure ours is broken but I think they could make it easier and give us more toys to play with.

    Think that is all I have to say. Could be wrong, I often am.

    Thanks I'll take a gander at these later. If that's good for the goose I suppose it's worth a look.
    Ha That is awesome.
  14. Hi Issue. If you are having issues (no pun intended) finding team mates that don't offend you maybe try a different server.

    Spent a little bit of time on Virtue but have heard the stories since I got here.

    Try Justice on for size. You may just like it. We have our share of idiots too but they tend to be kept in a box and let out only on holidays.

    Don't forget there are server transfers coming some time soon.
  15. Ooh picking a new name is such a big event. Took me 3 weeks after I had thought of it and a bunch of wine before I actually did.

    I vote for NickNackPaddyWack because that is too funny.

    Or maybe Necktie Nick.

    No, just go with the PaddyWack one.
  16. Crushing Impacts were the first thing I got into. Started crafting until I saw what the price points were (I would imagine that is what you call the buy and sell spots) and decided why go to all the extra effort for nothing. And so another flipper was born.

    Just wanted to say that the listed prices sound reasonable to me. I might go up to 2.3 but then again it has been a long time.

    Sorry for the threadjack if that is what I have done. But while I have you here I figured I would say that the advice and suggestions you provide is what I look for when I wander through here. Yours and a handful of others never fail us.

    End of threadjack. Please carry on being Ebil.
    Bashful Banshee.

    K thought about it. My basic flipping ratio is buy at about 40% and relist at 50-55% (of the Last 5 Sold average, ignoring oddities <but be wary of other flippers..damn those flippers.>) so I would be buying them at 2.1 or 2.2 and relisting at around 2.5 million. So I think you should list a little higher.

    And I apologize if this is coming off as presumptuous. Just kind of popped into my brain.

    Anyways those are the numbers i kind of run with currently. I don't make billions and billions but I always have enough to do whatever I want.

    Now, as far as passerby NPCs referring to your exploits, yes, they should use the "the" - but it's a limitation of the context, I think.
    Now we are running into issues in other areas though. I can agree in the case 'The BatMan' because he is in fact a Man dressed as a Bat.

    If my name were say, Miss Kin Ception I don't think it would work. 'The Miss Kin Ception' feels odd to me. I am not an object. I am a living, breating individual who would like to be referred to as 'Miss Kin Ception' because that is my name.


    Hope my stance makes sense. If not, let me know and I will try to clarify it.

    Hello Justice

    I never understood why people said the Justice Forum is quiet compared to how it used to be.
    Thinking back now, yeah, there was a lot of bickering.

    Oh well.

    Thats the best idea I have heard in the last second and a half. I'll get behind this movement.

    Plus. Yaa for more fun on Justice. Thanks Cai.
  20. We are getting Free Server Transfers? Nice. I can bring my Thugs/FF Generic Thug 17 back from her exile on Freedom.

    So I settled upon Doze Toxic Teddybear. We make do with 20.
  22. Ok. So I am taking a slightly different approach. I too have stashed a few enhancements that I figure were bought low enough to make a great big profit. But not that many.

    Being a flipper I have more or less cancelled most of my bids already and am ignoring the market till next Tuesday. Really don't want to get stuck with slow moving pieces until I know what the new price points are.

    I have 7 items that I know the current 'value' of intimately, and how they seem to flow around price wise. I have decided upon the lowball bids I will place when Rogue hits and will relist at new yummy prices 3 days later when the weekend feeding frenzy begins.

    Collect new riches without doing much work. Thats how I like it.

    If I happen to guess wrong and my bids purchase nothing I really haven't lost anything. Except for my oh so expected new wealth.
    If I guess wrong and my relist prices are too high that is ok too. I really only work in the items I would have no problem slotting anyways. Everyone has their favorites.

    So thats what I am going to do. I guess it isn't much help to someone just starting out in the Ebil business but you will find your own way of doing things.
