I felt the sting of both of these early in my superhero career...

... There's a dev post in this very thread that says it's a bug...

My character gets around that by just fighting in his civilian clothes all the time.

(But I'm not Golden Girl, and therefore am allowed to have more than one character. )

Is this the one involving noble titles and a round object traditionally worn on the third finger of the hand? Because they've been advertising on TV like crazy.

If it's a different game, then I honestly have no idea which one you're talking about, and am thus surprised that they saw a huge influx of players.

... *headdesk* >_<

Just City of Heroes, really. Every once in a while I'll grab a demo of something, or play a game from the late 90s/early 2000s, but really I only use the hardware to play CoH.

I just really like getting new computer parts.

From maintenance one Tuesday to the maintenance on the next. Weekly Strike Targets change every Tuesday.

You can get one WST reward on Monday night, then get another on the new target the following day with no problems.

Not gonna happen anyway. Doctor Who said the Earth survives all the way until the sun expands around the year five billion (and in fact then some--it's shielded for a while so wealthy spectators can pay to see its destruction).

... My girlfriend got me started watching Doctor Who this past month. >_>;;

Virgil Tarikoss, isn't it?

I disagree. On my characters who do not have Alpha fully slotted yet, Shards are still very welcome. And even on the ones that do have Alpha slotted up, I wouldn't mind gradually building up to the point where I could have spare T3/T4s in different branches lying around, should I find an overwhelming need for endurance or recharge reduction in future content.

Well, that would get my girlfriend playing an MMO...

I'm with you on this, Snow. I'd like to see the cost for a Rare upgrade drop to 10M and Ultra Rare drop to 100M at most. (I'd be happy if they went even lower than that.)

I simply can't afford 100M to upgrade my multitude of Uncommons to a Rare, and I wouldn't even call myself a casual player... I just don't farm or play the market.

I tend to do $1-1.5K every three years, so yeah, you've got me beat. I end up swapping hard drives about every two years because I get paranoid that they're going to die on me.

I also just spent $300 on a video card last spring (which somehow managed to surprise me by requiring an $100 PSU), and I already kinda want to upgrade it again. And then there was the mid-fall $1400 upgrade in which I splurged on a $250 computer case (I should never need to buy a computer case ever again, as long as form factors don't change drastically).

At the very least, I have a serious itch to upgrade the GeForce 7600 in my previous computer to a $150ish current generation GeForce card, and see if I can get at least 2GB more memory into it (not sure if I'll be able to find compatible 2x2GB sticks for it, though... it's an older DDR2 board).

The REALLY sad thing is that I don't need the level of hardware I've got, even in my older system, for anything other than CoH. Even my previous system would still blow away most of what you can buy off the shelf at Best Buy for under a grand. But, I do IT support for a living, and can't help but drool over new PC components as they come out...

Right now, aside from the upgrades to my old system and possible new video card for my current system, I've also got a craving to play with some SSD drives, and maybe to build a small file/multimedia server to act as a DVR system. It's kind of a shame I quit programming when I finished college... if motivated, I could probably build a completely kick-*** DVR application with some of the knowledge the engineers in my company have acquired in working on video.

I did a trial the other night with two cat-man characters. (There was also a really poorly-done werewolf using some of the CoV pieces--I say poorly-done because there were better free options available than what he was using, but to each their own.)

I haven't used the new animal parts on many characters, though... mainly just a concept character named "Falcon Paunch" (fat boxing bird) that I haven't even gotten though the tutorial yet. However, I DO use Beast Run as my Praetorian Alp character's main mode of travel. I also very nearly changed a costume to use the flat beast feet from a recent update for a barefoot character, but they came out looking a little too hobbit-y for what I was going for.

Actually, the one thing I dislike (aside from the above) is that there doesn't seem to be an option to recolor the avatar's hair beneath one of the new Steampunk hats.

... But it was 1:00 AM and I was dozing off pretty hard while making a steampunk leprechaun on Test last night, so there may have been such an option that just wasn't apparent...

FPARN, and I friggin' love you Z.

Let's see...

SR's Elude (for Stalkers): runs 3 min, recharges in 16.7 min, +45% def to all positions, +%100 recovery, +34.6% resistance to defense debuffs, +200% jump, +175% run speed

Ninjitsu's Kuji-In Retsu: runs 3 min, recharges in 16.7 min, +45% def to all positions, +%100 recovery, +34.6% resistance to defense debuffs, +200% jump, +175% run speed...

Yeah, Elude is so much better. 9_9

(You DO know that Ninjitsu has a really good self heal in it, right?)
