I think they are refering to characters falling into Trial account status. Not the characters getting Cyborg(or any other pack) or the PD-VIP.

Sad thing is, the baby girl is so jazzed about the Cyborg pack.
She will be one sad little girl when they take it away.

Oh well, she will get over it.... someday.

BC

have these babies get granted to your accounts over the weekend?

My main account was given both of these, without me purchasing them....

Just thought ya should know, you may/do have an issue.

To the OP:

Search -> ratings -> not rated.

Over 20 pages of them. There is a surprise in every arc...

Or not.

yes, I was a long time AMD guy. but thats changed, Intel and AMD made bad choices this year, From Intels desicision to stop Nvidia from making chipsets, to AMD outsourcing their manufaturing processes.

The bolded part is not really correct. AMD spun off their foundery into a new company, Global Foundries. AMD owns the controlling interest in Global Foundries(GF). And currently, GF only produces AMD silicon. All the process and equipment that made AMD cpu's is still making AMD cpu's.

With the last patch, did the ticket drops increase?
I went from 300-400 to 600-800 per mission.



Ok.... the above is in jest..... but really did it change?

I have been running through some arcs and can't even break
through 100 on mission complete, after the patch.

Anything to do with the team fix? Or was is it working fine?

I have a custom critter hostage(ally) surrounded by bad guys, and while in his held state, is doing damage via his aura.

By the time I find him during testing.... the guards are half dead.

His secondary is /DA. Should Death Shroud be on while he is in a hostage state?

BC

Why is COF missing on custom critters?

BC

I would also like to add....
Mobs(custom critters) don't drop the same amount of tickets each time they are killed. Played a mission with 13 bosses(same type) in it, and the ticket drops ranged from 20-40.

Ran the same above mission twice..... and the end of mission bonus was different. 332 on the first run, and 444 on the second. Killed everything on the map the first time, second time just mostly the bosses.

BC

Hi...
for the name I can assist.

Hi $target, you will never get me alive!

BC

Hi Ace....

Great idea.

/signed.... five times..

BC

Hi Positron.

So..... any plans too make this a, for dollars, add-on?

$4.99 per account? Please?

So close on one account......

Edit: I was refering to this part of the 60 month vet.

If Peacebringers want to teleport, they can take Dwarf. If Warshades want to fly, they can take Nova.

PB's don't want teleport for teleport, they want it for tp friend.

Now.... why is it that a warshade can go into the Stealth pool when they already can get....... From Umbral Aura:

Shadow Cloak and Nebulous Form

Interesting.... no?

I sure would love to get hover for my shade. (and AS)

BC

Caltrops going away? Is that the thinking here?

Damnit to hell! I was planning on getting that to go with burn on my Spines/fire.

Oh well.

Hi All.

New to Victory. Spent most of my past 45 months on Champ.

Banished (The lost Childern of Champion)

Banished is our main SG/Base here on Victory. The main base has the basics,
a rez ring, a crafting table, a vault, 2 enhancement bin, a salvage bin
and an insp bin.

Banished is set up as a Coalition of bases. Currently we have four
coalition sg/bases set up for our tp needs, supporting 16 zones.
I have not yet taken the time to set up the last sg/base to the other 4 major
zones.

(note: all tp bases were create in the time it took to get the beacon badges and
shuffle some characters around to get the magic 15 number for 300k prestige.)

Recruting: Current membership is mostly made up of others from our
SG's/VG on Champion.

Rules: None. (read.... laid back)

SG Costume: None. (you really don't want me to tell ya how to dress do ya?)

Promotions: Requirements, none. (But lets be fair... it's all about the trust.)

Prestige Requirements: 500k will get your name on the wall. Other than that, none.

Activity Requirements: None.

Demotion timer: 45 days. I would make it 120.... but the devs won't let me.

Leaders: @Big cuban or @MegA Volt

Background: After running out of slots on Champion, I decided
to set up shop here. Initially I accepted an invite to an SG, but left
shortly after and created Banished. Being a slave after co-running 2 SG's and a VG
on Champion was not to my liking.

Current SG memberships of long standing: SPACE, SPACE TnG, VOID and AOTN, on Champ.

Hi.

I played back a recording I made yesterday, and it was missing alot of Character effects. IE. all the /da powers and
the Katana was missing.

Since I have surpress close FX enabled.... could this be the
issue in not seeing this in the playback?

Thanks....

BC

Hi Lighthouse.

The default of "disabled" sounds alot like how most States implemented their "No Call Lists". Sure they give ya this
feature to stop TM's from calling you.... but it's up to you to
jump through hoops to get your name on the list. When the
easiest thing would have been to just put everyone on it.

It is only a Boolean variable after all.

Also, most of your player base, 90+%, will no nothing about this feature. They don't come to the forums and this will be
such old news by then, it will be lost in time.

But I do feel the default should be "Enabled" for all options
with this feature.

Will I use this feature... I sure will. If only to check out my Action Figures.

BC

No.

Hi Veneficus.
May I use this for a sec?
[ QUOTE ]

Complexity wise: trying to balance enhancement bonuses, set bonus, and the effects that exemping has on both of those... driving me nuts. Throw in hundreds of different salvage items that I never know the full use of and the requisite inventory management... ug.


[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks.... sounds like alot of the people I have talked to in game....

I asked a Dev(who shall remain nameless) at an event that shall not be named, how he was planning on EXPLAINING all
of this invention stuff to the normal non forum going
players due to the complexity. His response: What would be the fun in that? Complexity is fun. (paraphrased).
I responded: Chess is a complex also.... but ya don't see that flying off the shelfs...... (paraphrased).

Suggestion for making this more "ME" friendly.....
1). Global server account storage and more of it.
I know the H word.... Hoarding.... but I have stuff on toon A
that toon E needs, and stuff on Toon F that toon B needs.

SUre I can put the call out for my friends to come help with the transfer. Why should I have to? Seems a bit selfish to
even expect them to drop what they are doing to assist in
these transfers on a regular basis.

2). Reduce the the cost to create.

3). Reduce the IO's... currently all IO's(non-set) of a given type share salvage within an given range, (15,20,25),
(30,35,40) and (45,50).
Reduce this to three groups of recipes and allow us to select
the level we wish to create.... and adjust price accordingly.

4) up the bonuses on the lower lvl sets.
Show of hands.... who is really using the lower lvl ones on their lower lvl toons? Procs and Uni's don't count.

5) More set slotting options(complete sets).... this default,
across the board, you must use options 1-6 to get the set
bonus, really wacky.

6) Increase the drop rate on magic stuff...... not one Goo drop
since this went live. and all the sets I want to build..... ya got,
Need the Goo.

7) Fix the soloing for the most drops issue.... I wanna team again, but not in farming missions.

And, what I like.
1). Some old friends have shown up to give it a spin. (down side, they are not staying long... See Veneficus take on this.

2). I can see a reason to play my shade again.... if I can just
get enough Goo.

3) I like the idea of Inventions.... it's the farming for stuff I need that sucks.

Since you are asking.
Ball and Chain? Is this the wife tier 9 power?
"Oh my godd it's the Ball and Chain..... heroes run in fear...."

Kidding aside....
How about an I4 server, kinda like the test server... we port
are toons over..... and ya never have to deal with the old
school again.

Maybe fix the passives for invul?

Change the forced set slotting on inventions.

Reduce the number of set recipes.

How about some real base numbers in powers discriptions
so new players can make imformed choices.

Guantlet.... change it to something more brute like.

Add some mez protection to PB and WS's human form, or
get rid of the viods, quants and cryst.... scares alot of teammates away.

Let PB's and shades pick their default form....

This Poll.... why is it just on the forums? 88.9% of your player
base never even come here. I realize there are people here
with 10k+ posts and they hold alot of sway with the devs....
but it's those that don't come to the boards that are most effected by what you do.

Now to the poll.
EM/ for scrappers.
Energy Mace/ for scrappers.
Sonic Axe/ for scrappers.
Ice melee/ for scrappers.
Fire melee/ for scrappers.
/Elec armor for scrappers.
/ice armor for scrappers.

DA/ for tanks.

Hey _Castle_......
Ya mind posting this in the scrapper and tanker forum also....
Not everyone plays COV.

Hi FMIST.

One tip on the Quarry.

You don't need to fight them. You can aggro them into a nearby hole and be done with them.

Just stay on the opposit side of the hole. They will fall in.

A little TF speedup trick.

BC

"Maybe a bit like fury for brutes."
Oh wouldn't that be sick in Pvp.... Fury Taunt.... The more
we are or our teammates are attacked... the stronger our taunt gets. Perma Aggro!

BC

"I really would like to know why this kind of system was put into place though. "

Balance.

I have a few observations:

Toon - Claws/invul
One: I was picking up my time spent in the hollows badge.
So to fight boredom I would herd a large group of Trolls around me and then just stand there. What I noticed was all
but one would stop trying to hit me. And the one that was still
attacking was doing it from range.

Toon- Claws/invul
Farming two MI's with an SK'ed Fire tank. I don't think he was
using his taunt, just his aura. The MI never stopped attacking, but would try to move to range. I jokingly said to the Fire tanker
"The Aggro is strong with you young Skywalker" after he peeled my MI off my taunt aura.

Could it be that, invinc, without damage, just doesn't produce
enough hate to hold the mobs attention?
