Whoever said that Land of the Lost isn't a copyright infringement because its a name or words just shud up. So if i were to start a pizza joint called pizza hut BUT didn't server pan pizza, didn't have a red roof, didn't look like a hut then there is nothing that could be done, PLEASE!!

"Land of the Lost" is a trademark which mean that it cant be used unless permission is granted. Google was recently sued because the OS they use for their mobile phones is called Android which could have lead to confusion with the registered trademark Android Data.

Someone should have told Sid & Marty Krofft that they couldn't use "Land of the Lost"

Use of that title goes back as far as 1944.

But please, don't let facts get in the way of your uninformed rant.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not to mention any lawsuit about copyright infringement over "Land of the Lost" would be thrown out and the person bringing the case might get slapped with a fine for frivolous lawsuit. Copyright can only apply to an "entire work" and the neighborhood in this game is nothing like the Tv show or movie.

Trademark? You would have to prove how it might dillute their branding - and this is a super-hero game, not a sci-fi show.

This brings to mind the recent "Night at the Musuem 2: Battle of the Smithsonian" where Darth Vader appears. They never refer to him by name, his outfit is different from the movies in the fact that he doesn't have a chest piece, and the only action he makes that is force choke thing. (Yes, me and my father pointed all of this out during our car ride on Father's Day.)

This badge makes me think this was the SF they had wanted to create to unlock an AT. Becoming an Arbiter, could have possibly been a way your player made his way into the ranks of Arachnos and became a Arachnos Soldier/Widow.

Were you actually doing an 'arc'? For example, if you did the 'Redemption of Alexander the Great', it is considered a badge mission and not an arc, so it doesn't count for any of the challenge badges. It only counts for the 'complete x number of flashback' badges. None of the badge missions count for the challenge badges.

[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't realize badge missions did that, since I was doing "Video Games Made Me Do It". I guess I'll just do "The Strange Case of Benjamin A. Decker" then next time.

Other than the above fixes, you can usually drop/use some kind of PBAoE power and it will hit. This sometimes causes the critter to come out of the geometry.

Pricing and Upgrade Info. Just so you all know its suppose to go RTM (release to manufactuers) this week. Right now the final build is in escrow and is being signed off on so the final code can be given to royalty oems (dell, gateway, hp, etc...).

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I played CoH/V on my laptop with it. It improved the performance, and increased the time it took before my laptop's fan to start blowing harder.

Hello. I have been working on the Ouroboros badges a little at a time with a friend of mine and twice in the last week now, we've gone to work on continuing the badge work and both times we completed our arcs and NO badges were awarded to either of us. I did verify that they are badges I do not already have (and he did the same as well).

Is there currently a bug with badge awards on the live servers?

Appreciate any information you can provide.

[/ QUOTE ]

I completed a story arc with the 30 minute and 0 death restriction, and the only badge count I can see under Ouroboros is "Complete 5 Story Arcs". I didn't receive any badges, or a badge count.

Are any of you considering 'going blue' with your SoA when the expansion comes out? I think it'll will be fun to take my epic AT's over to the other side...

[/ QUOTE ]

How is this "Side Switch" stuff suppose to work anyway? Is there going to be an indicator, or how is it going to work anyway?

[/ QUOTE ]

They haven't said in detail how it will ultimately work out. It would seem there will be a morality compass as part of it. In addition to your actions making a difference there are two new NPC contacts that will be involved with changing factions. My guess is somewhere blue side heroes will find Maelstrom to go rogue, and villains can search for Desdemona to reform.

[/ QUOTE ]

Considering the trailer shows Tyrant and Praetoria, I'm beginning to think we aren't actually going to the blueside. More like entering the dimension where Good is Bad and Bad is Good.

I think we are going to learn more about the Praetorians and get a lot "closer" to them.

Bane by far. Hands down no questions asked. Whoever stated above that Banes are the squishiest either has no skill, or has never played a Bane spider.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've played both a Night Widow and a Bane to level 50, and I personally think the Night Widows win with the survivability and damage output between the two. While I do enjoy my Bane, my Night Widow is definitely more capable of going off in an 8 man mission and soloing multiple mobs or soloing 1 man mobs.

got it, thanks for the explanation

[/ QUOTE ]

Just to answer your question late, I didn't take hasten nor will I ever on any toon, except my WS if I wanna go with perma-Eclipse.

[/ QUOTE ]

Are you playing a Night Widow? Because you can't perma-ML a Fortunata without Hasten given "just" 95% Global. Even putting 6 L50 Rech IOs in ML will leave you about 9.5s short.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup, I play a NW. Fortunata's just aren't my gamestyle.

I do need to update the old /Rech enhancements in ML, then I should be able to perma with about 55-65%.

[ QUOTE ]
As far as the endurance/survivability pain of Widows in low levels... I have to say I agree... it was rough (on my Crab/Bane as well). I found that using 1x End reduction in my attacks helped some on the endurance front though.

Things got a LOT better once I was able to slot SO's too. I don't have any IO sets in my VEATs yet, but at this point endurance management isn't terrible. I usually make sure I've got a couple of blues handy to keep me rolling when soloing, which also helps.

Once you're able to specialize and you get Mind Link to compliment your other Defense powers... its really amazing how easy it is to stay alive the vast majority of the time.

My Fort solo'd a two-boss spawn two nights ago (both bosses conned purple as they were +2 to my level). One was a Death Mage and the other a Chief Rikti Soldier. It was one of the mishes for Ashley McKnight in a cave. I popped two reds for insps, Hasten, and Mind Link. Late in the fight on the second boss (the CRS), I had to pop a small green and two small blues. Otherwise I was fine for survivability, which more or less shocked me. I had to send a tell to an SG mate who was playing on another server about it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I solo mobs of level 54 bosses in MA and never pop a blue. I do have to pop at least 1-2 greens usually. It's always fun to feel like an overpowered killing machine. I felt this way before I ever started slotting for IOs for global rech.

Demon Farm is actually given by Harvey Maylor.

[/ QUOTE ]

This. And last I heard it may have been nerfed. Don't take my word for it though, I haven't farmed anything but Battle Maiden in a long time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Was it nerfed? Are you thinking of when they all went Unstoppable? I think they changed that back..but either way after that change, it didnt really affect the farm. But like you, I havent done it in quite awhile.

[/ QUOTE ]

Drops were nerfed to be the same as any mystic group.

Just as a response to part of the post above, pressing the Spam reports the player to Customer Support, and if the Global is flagged enough times they will be banned.

Or at least I believe that is how the system works, but it's not like everyone isn't pressing spam on the same person anyways.

I have to say, take Surveillance and your choice of mace powers. Poison Ray or w/e it's called (haven't played Bane in a while ) will help you take down EBs a lot easier. I've solo'd many an EB and duo'd AVs with mine. Mind you, I don't even use IOs on the Bane for the most part.

What you're probably remembering is AS having the chance to cause a fear effect. It does in PvE but I'm not so sure about in PVP, to be honest I cannot recall it fearing even the squishiest of my opponents, and I pvp daily.

[/ QUOTE ]

PvE only buff to Stalkers. I read the patch notes regularly to double check this kind of stuff, cause I'm a loser.

I 6 slotted mine and did the ToHit/Rech trick, and 95% gives me Perma.

When I think about an MM duo'n with you, it makes me think you need a Dominator to hold the enemies down.

Mind/Psi or Ice/Elec

They get much stronger after 25+. Just wait when your level 50 with at least 2 kins while your running Elude with rech sets. You'll feel like your in Granite Armor.

Two weeks ago, I achieved level 50 on my Night Widow.

Not sure who I should level next, since I'm currently addicted to my NW.

I have 35% global rech and it takes about 6 seconds for ML to come back up (after power drops). I don't have hasten since I didn't want to waste a power on it. Once I either complete another set, or get LoTG then I'm almost positive it will be perma or 1 second recharge (after power drops).

Also, I've 6 slotted my ML with ToHit/Rech and such.

Will Issue 13: Architect allow us to create some of our very own Arch-Nemesis in the mission creation feature? If so, do we have access to costume and power changing, or just name changing?

[ QUOTE ]
How do you think people manage to do the Quarterfield TF? Ain't no way I could sit through that in a single setting. Only did it once though, over two nights. Took about 12 hours ! Yea slow team. This was before IO's though

[/ QUOTE ]

My time was 4:37, and we did it in a single sitting. Just about everyone was up in the middle of the night, and my German friend Queen was up until morning and beyond.

How is it exploitable ?

There are around 15 or 20 enemies worth 5 xp each and you can't complete the mission because you can't reach the glowies needed for completion.

Of course, you can farm it for worthless xp but there really is no point.

The best thing is to /bug it and drop it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah, you can complete it. All you do /stuck, then in the height of the fall hit jumppack or a temp power. You fly up to a room, then use /stuck again to get inside.

Alright, I won't say the name of this mission, because this is very exploitable. Specifically because I was solo and 16 enemies with about 1-5% hp spawned. I thought it was pretty cool, so I decided to dub it the Mission Developer Testing Grounds.

So, how effective is this Fire/Fire Scrapper? I've just gotten my first villian to 50 and I've been working on my Bane Spider. I would like to here some feedback on the damage output and etc.
