Seeing this makes me so happy.

I love the fact that this game accommodates people like Dumpleberry and I, and yet is still a blast for folks like Organica.

Vivay lay deeferahnce!

I foresee a lot of my characters picking up TP Friend and the Medicine pool. They're useful team stuff that I don't usually make room for and they also don't need much in the way of enhancements.

I may also dabble in self-rezzes on my melee characters that have access to them, for much the same reason; limited overall utility but they require minimal slotting and they're really useful every once in a while.

And I have to say, if you've got the slots and powers available, the fear powers in the Presence pool are surprisingly nice.

I was part of a successful run yesterday (or the day before?) on heroside. Hopper organized it and we had the full 24, all lvl 50s I believe. It took us about 50 minutes, plus another 20 minutes or so of getting set up.

We group wiped once, but came back victorious. The key apparently is to wipe out the respawnings of Rularuu guarding the Big Bad's force field generators as fast as possible. Otherwise, the Big Bad regenerates too many HP too quickly when his force field goes back up.

You also very definitely want some dedicated debuffers around when the field's down.

They've all but promised that there will be more Praetorian content.

But it seems like they've got different ideas for endgame content than just simple level increases. Check out some of the discussions about alpha slots for a good preview of what we're likely to get instead.

Haven't decided how to spend my new slots yet- obviously Praetorians, but not sure what to go with. Still letting Praetorian concepts sink in. May have to spend one as a Praetorian version of my main, but maybe not.

I did fire up a couple ideas on Freedom to see how the missions run on big teams, and it's hella easier than taking them on single or duo the way I did in beta. We buzzed through to lvl 7-9 after only three-four missions. So if someone wanted to put together a Praetorian theme team with a weekly run day/time, I'd be all over that.

So I've basically done with Ironblade did- zipped through to vigilante as fast as possible, and am badging the Rogue Isles on my badge-collecting toon. That'll be a long-term project.

And, sad to say, it is probably going to be my only use for Going Rogue. If I want to play villain content, I'm perfectly happy to do it as a villain. Ditto, heroes on blueside. I was never a fan of done-in-one insta-missions and I have a low tolerance for repeating content. If I could flip back and forth between hero and villain with a TF or storyline, I might be more interested.

As it is, meh. I'll do the missions to see the new stuffs and earn a couple merits to nab rare recipes. But after that? I just don't see the appeal.

Hm, I'm kinda stuck on this. I transferred some characters around in January, the last time we had free transfers, so I could get one of each AT on Infinity, plus a couple of my old favorite characters. Got that, and now Inf is full up for me. And I don't really want to transfer any of them away, even though I now want space for new praetorians/vigilantes/rogues.

I was sort of hoping GR would come with a couple new slots. I don't get my next freebie until October.

Grump.

I wouldn't go so far as "ghost town". We've taken a major hit in population but that means we're now usually in the middle of the pack, rather than consistently 3rd.

The global channels that see the most action on Infinity are currently AE Anonymous, Inf Badge Seeker and Infinity Hamidon. If you're on any of those and give a shout out in the East coast evening, you'll usually find some folks available.

Nice!

Welcome back, all you folks!

Hope to run into you sometime soon!

Yeah,

This is astonishingly lame and not worth getting worked up over. 5 enhancements that become useless after 20th level and a mouse pad? ... wooooooo [/sarcasm]

No thanks. The more that marketing tries to push this pre-order crapola, the more I think I'll wait until this Fall when I can pick GR up in the remainder bin at Wal-Mart for about a quarter of its initial price.

Oh wait, it's not a mouse pad, it's a "Razer Sphex Desktop Skin"!!!1!eleventy!

:/

Is crappy marketing better than no marketing?
This makes me long for the days when Cuppa and Cricket were the marketing staff.

I hope I'm not the only one that mistakenly saw an 'r' in the name of that power concept.

This thread was mightily disappointing once I realized what it wasn't.

Thanks due to Comics Alliance, we now have an awesome visual and acronymic tool for codifying super-powers: The Periodic Table of Superpowers.
As mentioned in this article, Superman can be described as: OAFSISpVxVhSn; Wolverine: XWxHSn. Etc.

Statesmonkey pops out as FSIAn, and interestingly enough, my other favorite toon amounts to MyDzPq - my magic spines/dark scrapper, Tattered Man.
How odd, to have delved so quickly into the 'sub-legionic' powers.

I'm wondering which CoH characters you can and cannot make?

I'm not real happy with the size of the image, but what the heck:

PERIODIC TABLE OF SUPERPOWERS!!


Pretty clearly, in the CoH multiverse, the elemental table needs to be expanded in the W (Weaponry) Tc (Technology) Ar (Armor) and G (Gadgetry) categories.

Ooo,

A thread full of smart people talking about enhancements!

*raises hand*

Can anyone tell me (or refer me to a thread that does) what the current numbers are for exemping down? How much of your enhancement bonus do you lose and when, and how does that differ for IOs, SOs, purples and S/HOs?

I seem to recall these numbers being changed around a couple times, and I no longer know what I'm getting into whilst I'm super-sidekicking.

What?

Does no one here recognize that the City Vault is coming SOON! ?!

Fie on your Twitter and Facebook, I say! City Vault will do it all, any day now!

Oh, and for me it runs:

Market > Badges > PvP > Mission Architect.

You'll notice the direct relationship of the amount of time I need to be in-game to participate in any of the sub-games to that sub-game's importance in my play. I won't be wandering back into MA until it stops being a massive time-sink with minimus rewards that is constantly being jerked over by the devs.
