It is called remuneration.

The new dev team working on CoV deserves some form of compensation for their hard work in putting it together. Why should everything be free when people count on these types of jobs for Housing, Food, and Clothing.

Now, as for CoV being the same game as CoH but prettier: nope. Different play; different attitude; different feel. Besides, you can' play a Hero without CoH just as you cannot play a Villain without CoV.

I know where he is.

Um - I think Geko meant "in the coming updates." I'm not sure whether any of these will make it into I6 or not - so let's not set up any expectations!

Go on, drop hints... we know you can hint.

I'll pop in here so you guys have a new target.

The original Task Force Datamine took 3 months to finish. That was to go over 2 months worth of data.

We now have 18 months worth of data. We looked for a more effecient solution, but our estimates still come out at 2 years to datamine and get you your badges.

[/ QUOTE ]

And I thought my data base work was a pain. Ya know, you could just make life simpler, for everybody, by allowing the badge to go to anyone who contributes damage a Monster's defeat. I think that, more than anything else, would make people happier. Then people would feel they could Broadcast the appearance of a Monster once again (Lusca not included) instead of secretly hoping no one else who can out damage their team (or team they put together) arrives.

New target? *Pull*

A. It is the end of an Age. . .and a sad day indeed. But it had to be done. The AASQ was a rabid beast that needed to be put down.

Q. Could the original AASQ thread perhaps be thumbtacked for a suitable morning period for folks to make their peace?

A. Only if vivisected.

Q. Who here loves Turkish Coffee?

Glad to see you back around. God speed with your brother Statesman, he is a hero for doing what so many other are afraid to do.

Personally, I would rather see you and the rest of your team take their time to answer posts truthfully than answer them like a salesman or with condensation. So... about pets: why the long wait?

I hate to say it, but if you are going to balance this power, do so now. In relation to Archery it is hands down the best Blast set for Defenders in the game. The damage is good, the side effect is good and the low endurance usage is better. It is very likeable and has great potential.

Does the new and enlarged helping hand fit into this category?

If so, or even if not: It is annoying. It also gets in the way when trying to slot; combine; respec, enhancements. May we see it reduced? Please?

The waves of attacks are quite fun. I have not run into many hostage missions yet, but at least I got a taste for the Ally in the Tutorial.

geko LIVES!

Very nice.

Say, please don't outright remove their powers, but do slap some lead weights to their speedy casting and limit how many appear in spawns... maybe more of the other kinds of Thorn Casters for a better mix?

And yes we had no travel powers, we had the... Mynxmobile. Please don't ask, I was trying not to fall over laughing the whole time

[/ QUOTE ]

BWHAHAHAHA! omg I'm dying here!! mynxmobile <snickers> How about the Statesman scooter? The Positronplane? or would that be the Posiplane? Thanks Luna for the laugh.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's Positron-Glider.

[/ QUOTE ]

No offense pos, but you seem a bit too heavy for a glider, what with that armor of yours.

[/ QUOTE ]

And besides... can't you fly anyway?

[/ QUOTE ]

Since when did a level 2 fly? Doesn't he have 12 more levels before he gets his travel power?

Gotta love it when links go patute.

No worries Clintonian, just don't let the Humidity of Texas get to you.

Now, what do you mean by Farewell Tour? You leaving the game or something?

Here is a New Addition for the Primer:

Will the CoV Beta be on the Test Server?

Per Lord Recluse (and all reason): No.

What is this Pen and Paper game you speak of?

Can you play that on a Tablet PC?

I heard of them from my grandpa, apparently they were invented at a time where punchcard computers were still not invented.

You guys have a personal trainer? Man, are you loaded?

Actually, given the sedentary nature of programming, a smart employer would have such benefits.

That just means flab is converting to muscle - which takes less volume pound for pound.

There is more to losing weight than a scale: belt need more tightening? Had to see the tailor for a smaller pants/shirt size? Able to lift two cars instead of one?

[ QUOTE ]
I did say one other thing - that dropped Enhancements are useful only for what you can sell them for - because everyone purchases their Enhancements at the store (or at least most of them).

[/ QUOTE ]

Training enhancements post level 17 pretty much never see the light of my powers. I imagine for a lot of people Dual Origin enhancements are not seen in their powers post level 30 as well. That training enhancements are still dropped in the 30+ game is somewhat lame since I find I either delete them completely or, if I still have room, sell them off. I also notice that in a lot of missions the enhancements are not the same level as the mission itself (Sidekicking aside), they tend to be 1 or two levels lower making them useful only for combining or, most often, selling.

Now, when I get a DO or SO that is usable or combinable, I certainly slot/combine it. It just seems to be a matter of obtaining those.

As for Trading: are you nuts? I like this game because I don't have to do that garbage. A more organized method of trading (oh, say such as an auction house) would be better suited than broadcats in any number of zones to see if someone may have or want what you have.

Priceless...

So you got him to pose for you with the infamous Nerf Bat ehh? Darn, I was hoping it was going to be a softer bat.

My guess is because Altlas Park is the first choice and Galaxy City is the second. A lot of people seem to just roll with the default, especially if they don't know the difference.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think that is 100% accurate simply because for the past few months every new character I created has Galaxy City as the first option and Atlas Park as the second. Personally I don't like starting in Galaxy City since the contacts are spread out very far from the tram. In Atlas Park, they are all pretty close together with only one or two far away. Otherwise, GC appears more empty.

He may be thinking of one of the spider models in the screen shots. But those seem more like robots (of mekmen kind) than people in power armor. So...

Good heavens man... can you tell me if all the trolls will be swollowed up by the earth? No, wait, I suppose if they had been then Jack would not look like that.

Poor, poor Jack.

Just want to throw something in:

Can you play CoH on one machine and CoV on another if you have them on the same account (you pay one monthly fee for both)?

There has been no official word on this, however it is a reasonable "No" since you are accessing the servers twice as much and requiring twice as much possible support for that access. If you are paying for both on one account then you are paying to access the server for either game you chose to play at that given moment. Any extra monies over the $15 for CoH would be going towards content development and not really server and support costs.

If you want to play CoH and CoV at the same time you will more than likely need to pay for two separate accounts just as you would currently have to when playing CoH at the same time on two separate machines.
