  4. I might be up for a few runs of these.
    Let me know the details if you get a group together.

    OK lemme see If I can break this down.

    Hours makes Damage
    Celestial Lord makes Bubbles
    Silas makes Corruption
    Phillyboy makes Illusions
    I make Tanks (Or a reasonable facsimile there-of)
    And Cherry_Cupcakes makes.... well.... CUPCAKES!

    That's a formula for a good night of teaming.
    Note: Cupcakes not optional!

    Welcome to Champion!

    You know I know what you mean, about it should be free.
    But, honestly, these little "Booster Packs" they have been offering are pretty good.
    They are $5.99 or $9.99 and that's a reasonable price (especially when you consider it's a one time charge, and if you divide that by how many hours you play? Small Fractions of a Penny per hour).
    Some of these packs have stuff that no one would really be interested in so having it optional is nice. And the way I see it, charging a small price like this, makes the Devs concentrate on quality beyond what you would get for free.
    It's a decent price for users who would find the content neat, and it's a teeny bit more income for the Devs in an increasingly hard to profit market of MMOs.

    I see it as a Win-Win.

    And yes, I want this pack.
    I want my Were-Chicken!
  7. Here some free unsolicited advice....

    A) Yes Witty, you are right! There is no such thing as 100% protected on anything. Whether it be surge protectors, Antivirus, passwords, anything. However, with surge protectors, the adage "you get what you pay for" is true. A $5 Surge Protector is not going to perform like a $40 APC 2500 Joules Surge Suppressor. Also, I invested in a Tripp-Lite Line Conditioner, and made sure my UPS had Line Conditioning and it has done wonders on my PCs. When I moved, I forgot to move my Hackintosh (custom built Core 2 Quad running Mac OSX 10.6.4) to one of the Line Conditioned units, and a week later the Power Supply was nicely toasted.
    Learn the benefits of the Sine-Wave, and your advanced electronics will thank you.

    B) When it comes to CPUs, if you aren't over-clocking, I like to stick to the one the manufacturer includes, BUT, I never use the included Thermal Paste. I spent the cash and get the one, the only, Arctic Silver 5, It''s expensive, but it works, and it's cheaper than replacing CPUs for overheating. I have gotten upto 10 degrees cooler temperatures with the same heatsink over the included paste.

    Music and CoH???

    Personally, I select based on mood and what I'm doing.

    If I'm just having fun, teaming with friends and there isn't some hard-core goal, or something, just "keeping it light", I either shuffle my iPod list, or listen to the local 80's station that my friend owns.

    http://www.wams.fm/

    If I'm running hard-core, like MoSTF or Really Master of anything, or we are going for speed or some major goal, I hit up the Techno/Electronica/Darkwave/etc. This usually means Sanctuary Radio

    http://www.sanctuaryradio.com/

    If I'm playing offline, (IE, Civilization IV, SimCity, Starcraft, etc) I either listen to Pandora or Nibz' radio station

    OK, but my toons that PAID for Health and Stamina before they made it Inherent, have wasted 2 Power Slots (Technically 3 if you count the prerequisite power to get to Health) on these.

    Can I recover the Power Slots I spent on those by using a Respec? Or will it make me pay for them again because the character was built before they made them free?
  10. OK, I just noticed something.
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like Health and Stamina are Inherent Powers now.
    So what about those Toons I already wasted 2 Power Slots on for this?
    Can I get those 2 spots back with a Respec?

    I assume you're on BMT or CU (or both - each channel has its merits); those are always great avenues for teaming, too.

    Failing all that: Add me to your friends list and I'll run with you anytime you want.





    Good luck,



    -Star
    Will add you to my friends list tonight.
    I am still on BMT.
    But, what is CU?

    I had my first experiance with Rogue content last night.
    Made a Pistol/Kin Corrupter in Praetoria. (Name: 2 Gun Mojo)
    I like the new world so far. I'm not exactly a fan of the pop-up boxes.
    And I'm a little confused by the whole Tips system.
    But, I'll get the hang of it.
    Although I won't turn down any advice or assistance.

  15. I saw quite a few familiar faces this weekend, but I wasn't sure if they were still regular players, or just coming back for 2x XP Weekend.

    My plan is to come back on a limited basis. A night once a week or so.
    I backed off my online activities when I had my accident back in May, and started concentrating on real-life. But, now that I have a good balance in my life, I want to start playing MMOs again.

    Just wondering who I can team with now.
  16. I guess If I'm going to come back to CoH, I better make it to this!
  17. Hello?
    Anyone I know still here?
  18. He's got my vote.
    I've been thinking that the Shard was the Red-Headed Stepchild of Paragon. They just leave it to rot untill it cries out when a patch breaks it. Then they smack a fix on it and consign it back to neglect-ville. It deserves better, and now is the time.

    I support all aspects of this suggestion!
  19. Re: Bit bullet, bought Aion

    Sounds like what I did.

    Bit Cannonball, bought Star Trek Online.

    I find it an exceptionally irrational purchase since I don't have time to play any of my presently owned video games, let alone a new one that is probably FUBARed by Jack Emmert.
    Yeah, this is just reinforcement that I'm masochistic.
    ..... And have way to much bloody money.
    ..... Except I don't.... which is why I don't have time to play video games.
    ..... What the hell is wrong with me?
  20. A Pengiun and a Rhino? What would the children look like?
    Bah, Screw it! Just this once, I'll say go for the abominations of nature!
    Good on you Ping!
    I think this has got to be the nerdiest proposal evar! AND I LOVE IT!

    (And just to hammer how nerdy it is, I once saw a Stormtropper get down on one knee and propose to Queen Amadala!)

    I'm truly glad for you buddy.

    Do I sense a Cosplay Wedding in the near future? LOL

    That is a BOLD statement. You haven't seen the eye-burning hypocrisy that is Witty's Clown Costume.
