Thanks for the replies

Funny, ran my first missions with a team lastnight, no sidekicking happened, so that whole thing was a surprise and blew my mind

My first toon to 50 was AR/DEV, it was rough but I enjoyed every minute. Pack em up, Flamethrower, Full Auto....used to get ooh's and aah's all the time from folks

....left after "A Stitch in Time", I've perused some of the update information, but was wondering if you kind folks could give me some quick hits on updates? Are there new zones or redesigned zones I should be checking out? What else cool did I miss?

Help is appreciated

The costumes are just freaking wicked fun....

Gold Bricker
PPD Hardsuit (w/ Red Flaming Jet Boots)

....and of course the Ghost Pirate, who when he flies has like a zombie flight pose to him

And if you go to the ID screen it's a picture of whoever you're imprersonating which I thought was cool

It seems the contaminated will filter in small groups around select zones in both sides of CoX. Thus making the badge attainable for past heroes who did not have the opportunity for it and for villains to now attain it. (i.e. City Sewers, hanging out with Lost...and "heading to Sharkhead Isles")

So it's all about Isolator???? yawn...........

What a great freaking' guide.

I'm the cook in our house, and I long ago found that if I buck up and cook a nice 4-star heavy cream sauce meal, good bread, etc. that it basically gives me the entire night to game at my leisure. Those meals hit her like a ton of bricks, whether we're in or out, about 20 minutes after the last bite, she want's her pillow and bed, nothing else.

As another said, brilliant

189,000 XP on my Kin today for storyarc completion.

kthx.

[/ QUOTE ]

Been to Croatoa? As of 3 or 4 months ago, some story arcs in that zone gave crazy xp for completion.

Just don't use the base tp to Faultline, you'll be forever eating donuts!!!!!

Without newbs, there would be no veterans And without veterans, I'd still be clueless and have jumpkick

#4 - Teleport - Have had it on only one alt, didn't like it all that much, and feel like I HAVE to take hover to make it viable, power picks are more important to me than that.

#3 - Superspeed - Lived with this on my alt for the longest time, coupled with cloaking device the stealth aspect was great. But I missed the vertical, now I have jumpjet, but I didnt' back in the day.

#2 - Superjump - Feels the most super to me, leaping buildings in a single bound and all that. Combat jumping never a bad prerequisite for me, and getting to acrobatics is nice as well for some at's of mine.

#1 - Flight - Always my first travel power love. Air superiority is a no brainer fill attack for me, and even with only a couple slots I don't mind the travel speed, although it could be tweaked up a little.

Can we have word of its duration, please?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, thanks for the announcement, which we knew was coming. Now how about letting us know the answer to what we've been asking since it first went to test.....HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

[ QUOTE ]
This was very cool. Thanks for posting it. I this idea. Kind of like a league night.

[/ QUOTE ]

My SG started something like this, alas we have not gotten all that far yet. It's an all RAD team, either defender primary or controller secondary, the basis being everyone taking....

Accelerate Metabolism
Radiation Infection
Enervating Field
Radiant Aura
Leadership Pool

...basically huge damage, recharge, stamina, movement speed, good mez protection, great accuracy. Only ran it one night so far, so hard to coordinate, but we mowed through whatever we wanted up to like level 12. The power would come later, but these types of concept things are really cool I think and you don't see enough of it.

Nothing scientific here, only that I don't really understand endurance. Leveled to 28 lastnight, picked up stamina. Now at 27, I wasn't really having any major endurance problems but still planning on stamina. So I picked it up, dropped an End Mod SO in there, and my endurance seemed to drain even faster than at 27.

Does endurance usage scale, like at level 27 if Shadow Punch uses 20 endurance, will it use 22 at level 28?

Whens the going away party, you deserve a big one

You'll be missed Cuppa.

I think I died 3 times on the final mission, all to the Thorn Tree itself, and I had a full Domination bar at that point too. Once we got to the point where we were all attacking it (Brute, MM, Dom, Corr), it went down pretty easy, and no one died... unlike the first Respec trial, where we had multiple TPKs in the final room.

Posi, were you teaming with some other Dev's, or just doing the normal "I'm a regular player thing"?

At least the girl wondertwin could become something cool, the guy was usually a bucket of ice water or a wet sponge or something lame like that.

[/ QUOTE ]

For our 5 year anniversary, my wife and I bought cool matching rings at a place in Maine. From then on we did the "wondertwin power thing", but she always gets pissed off at me, since she always forms as some cool animal, and I always do "bucket of ice" ala useless Zan

Ok, here goes, arcade stand up and other references...You know you're an old gamer when....

-You remember all the Zorks'

-You remember the original Wolfenstein, not the 3D version.

-You played Warlords and Kaboom til your eyes popped out of your head.

-You licked your fingers before doing the sprint/hurdles on the arcade version of "Track & Field" cause cutting down on the friction of the button helped you run faster. Nevermind that the 1,000 players before you had done the same thing. HARD...CORE....EWWW

-Body Blow, Body Blow

-You don't just still own a head to head football handheld, it's in your nightstand or next to your easy chair

And a shoutout to some of my favorite stand-ups: Marble Madness, Q-Bert, Joust, Cliff-Hanger, Rally-X and numerous pinball's I can't remember

*nods at DJ's post* Don't be shy! PM!

Or you could post a "Hey draw me please!" thread. Those meet with varying degrees of success.

But really I just posted so I could tell you how insanely cute I thought your name was.

Thanks for the help you two.

And Star, thanks for the compliment, my forum name is not a creation of mine, but the name of a 1976 Frank Zappa album

...and look at all the killer art done of peoples characters. I'm interested in maybe getting something like that done. Is it appropriate to come in here and just ask for someones help with that? Guess I just did that, either way, just wondering. I'm artsy with music (drummer, percussionist and vocalist) and nothing else, but would love to see my main now at 48 and around since 2004 immortalized by one of the great talents I see in this forum all the time. Any help, consideration or comments appreciated

Gleek FTW!!!!!

Ya know, he was around long before Banananator and those other Rikti monkey knockoffs!!!

First time pvp'ing lastnight and all this guide pretty much held true.

I'm AR/DEV, I embrace teh PvP gimp. I was blocked in ice, stunned, chain-held, immobilized, tp'd into some bubble of doom with mm robots everywhere. I was assassin struck in the air, in the water, on the land, when I was grouped or alone. I died many times, I ate bf's like candy, but I did have a freaking blast.

Pos, just datamine it and give it to the beta people so they quit whining and then remove it from the game altogether.

Simple solution.

not all CoH badges have a explanation, though if you do your research, you'll know what badge you're working on, kinda like for my tankers' dmg taken badges, since they're in a row I know what they are already :P but I do see your point, I have some progression bars almost full and not sure what they are for, and others that will say it's for defeating whatever enemy :P

[/ QUOTE ]

For COH, I use the vidiotmaps badge checklist excel file, the achievements are in the same order as in game, so it's really easy to know what you're close on.

For COV, well, I'll be no help there, it's so darn buggy over on that side right now

[ QUOTE ]
So, what do they consider extraordinary? 1700 play hours on my main isn't extraordinary? Having 295 badges collected? 38 of a possible 43 souvenirs?....Again, just a hazy thing that can number any amount of "extraordinary" events, would like more info about what qualifies.

[/ QUOTE ]

I read early on that bug hunter applies to any bug reported that requires them to bring down servers immediately to fix, or something of similar importance that needed an immediate rollback or change. It's certainly not awarded for things you listed like time logged, alot of souvenirs/badges etc, as they have nothing to do with bugs and lots of people have similar counts

[ QUOTE ]
That chart can't be right.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed

Boy Cuppa knows how to crush your very soul. Not only do we open with a declaration that it's "fine" (and I held out hope she was just referring to its implementation not showing bugs), but we go for the shattering demoralization as the grand finale. Many people chiming in that the power works well? /facepalm

[/ QUOTE ]

The PM to me started with "FROM QA", so I don't think those are Cuppas words, but the response directly from QA.
