  1. Sonic Attack / Energy Melee or Sonic Attack / Mental Manipulation - which would be better for soloing?
  2. Happy birthday, Cherry! May it be your best one yet.

    I've always thought that mission was a bit buggy. The ambushes have a nasty habit of showing up right on top of you and when they don't they sometimes don't aggro on you and end up standing around in odd places. I've never had what you had though. I've always been able to find them all and complete the mission eventually.

    According to the wiki the arc should award 4 merits. I finished it just 2 weeks ago and I remember being disappointed but not exactly how many I got.

    I will have to say though - Mercedes is one of my favorite contacts. All of her arcs have some imaginitive mechanics... I especially like the Magic Man's finale.
    Nope, there was no Menelaus in the mission. There were two or three ambushes before I reached Hector, but they were all taken out as they arrived. All that was left after Hector was defeated was Memnon, Paris, and a few stray Warriors. Sounds like the mission may be bugged then, but it's odd that no one else seems to have encountered this problem. :\

    I too enjoyed the Magic Man arc, btw.
  4. Just a reminder that tomorrow, there will not be one, but two Rikti mothership raids beginning at 8:30 P.M. ET / 5:30 P.M. PT! See y'all there!
  5. I worked on Mercedes Sheldon's third blueside mission arc last night, "The Crown of Glory." I got to the third mission, "Recover the Crown of Glory," and pasted Hector and his Warrior buddies. Just before Hector died... err... was arrested, he summoned Memnon and Paris, whom I quickly dispatched as well. Once that was done, the mission was not completed. So I ran through the ship, and defeated the few stray Warriors I encountered. The mission was still not completed. So I ran through the ship two more times, and there was nothing there. No more Warriors, and no glowies or something for me to click on. I exited the mission, and then dropped it. The mission arc was complete, but I did not receive any mission arc completion bonus, and I only received two reward merits. I hope I received the mission arc souvenir as well, although I forgot to check.

    Is the mission "Recover the Crown of Glory" bugged, or did I somehow overlook something?

    Mez Protection

    Are Force Field and Traps the only secondaries that provide mez protection?

    Contact Status

    So, I'm trying to get all of the contacts I have on my newest character to "confidant" status. At level 18, he was given Guy Denson as a contact. I've done each and every mission he's offered to me, and am currently at level 19.5. Except now he's at the "Friend" status, and will not offer me any more missions. Did I mess something up? Is there any way to bump him up to "confidant" status, or is he stuck at "Friend?"

  11. I'm sorry to see that the lag returned to the mothership raid tonight. :\ Hopefully, if everyone there submitted a petition about the lag, NCSoft will get some valuable information to fix it.

    In the meantime, since there will be no mothership raid two weeks from now, I will run two back-to-back mothership raids next week. See y'all then!

    It's okay. The raid normally starts at 8:30 P.M. ET / 5:30 P.M. PT, but I can cancel it for that one week. I understand that it's difficult to schedule something when most of the prime days and times are already taken by other events, believe me.

    No, no hopping. But I definitely felt something spring...

  15. ... Hrm. I suppose I should cancel the Rikti mothership raid that evening, then.

    Nope. Three toons to level 16 in three days is pretty dang good, imo. I wanted to get all three new characters their level 14 travel power, which I accomplished. Then I did the Midnight Squad arc on all three, which got them to level 16. I didn't want to outlevel Faultline, so I didn't push it, or I probably could have gotten farther. I actually want to do Faultline, Striga Isle, Croatoa, the Rikti War Zone, and all the badge missions on all three at their appropriate level. I'm weird like that.
  17. I've never experienced any kind of game crashes or freezes until Saturday. Saturday afternoon, the game froze on me while I was running around in Kings Row. Thought it was odd, but wrote it off as a random occurrence. Then the game froze on me again Saturday night while running around in Kings Row. Sunday evening, the game froze on me for a third time while running around in Steel Canyon. Last night, the game froze again on me for a fourth time while running around in Kings Row. Just now, the game froze on me for a fifth time while running around in Steel Canyon.

    Each time the game freezes, my character (different characters) is sprinting in a zone. Not attacking, not flying or super jumping, just sprinting, towards a Paladin for instance, or an Outcast.

    Anyone else experiencing these game freezes? I don't think it's anything to do with my machine, as it just started, and it's always while sprinting around in a zone, but I suppose anything is possible...
  18. Got:

    Celestial Lord (Force Field / Dark Blast Defender) to level 16

    Jack Scimitar (Dual Blades / Willpower Scrapper) to level 16

    Scarlet Striker (Martial Arts / Shields Scrapper) to level 16
  19. Whoever negative repped my original post in this thread the other day with the comment, "lol, lagfests," feel free to come to the mothership raid this Thursday. :P It's been mostly lag free the past couple of weeks.

    Dear COH

    Hrm... does Cherry carry her own nightstick?
  23. It's been brought to my attention that the Rikti War Zone may be full tomorrow night with people getting their co-op powerleveling on since double experience weekend kicks off tomorrow. What would y'all think of canceling this week's raid?

    Dear COH

    But I like women that can kick my ***.
  25. I want to rebuild a Force Field / Dark Blast Defender. I have the power selection down, but for the life of me, I can't decide on how and what to slot. Any advice would be appreciated. My budget is 3 billion influence, if that helps.
