back on track, I LOVE that Circus piece. Just the feel of it is so utterly EVIL!

[/ QUOTE ]

Well of course it's evil! The poor guy ended up with 15 other personalities in his brain after a slight accident with his new mutant mental abilities.

And torturing heroes, making them turn on each other just fills him with ebil joy!

[/ QUOTE ]

What *I* LOVE is that you and Gill have capatured a Mind Dominator perfectly! That's just fantastic!

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks Altoholic_Monkey! I honestly been thinking about this piece for a while and waited a few months but it was worth it. Honestly that is what I would do. Synapse is annoying so he'd sleep, and Manticore's arrows would more than likely kill off Synapse .. and torturing Statesman for what he does to Lord Recluse, let alone foil Circ's ebil plans is unforgivable!

I cannot wait to see the next finsihed piece Gill is making.

And I have sent in my application for the Empire. I .. sadly check each hour and press the Refresh (F5) button every few seconds to see what else is there.

I will say one thing ... if you get a piece of art and something is wrong or need a change send an e-mail .. he is up and on the ball quickly!

Now .. what should be my next piece of history? Bwahaha!

Quick .. someone go grab States or Manticore and tell them come over! Haha! I'm so ebil ...

Well here it is! Jomaro's latest kick butt piece ... of Circus Psychotica!

http://www.mmoart.com/gallery/circus.php

Hehe .. I know it's kinda sad, but something I have always wanted.

Let's show States and that pitiful Freedom Phalanx that we villians can and WILL knock them around! Bwahaha!

::dances::

::jumps up and down::

Mine's almost done! Mine's almost done!

I wish I could understand all this numbers crap ...

All I know is if I can hit and damage all is good ...

If I can't, it's time to run.

Wish these things were easier to explain for those not good with technical jargon. I just am not a number cruncher. All I know is that I will be seeing a big difference in my characters performance.

Well I'm still waiting on mine .. 6th in line I am ...

but you spelt my name wrong .. it is Circus Psychotica .. hehe

Ah, but now it won't be so breathtaking as I am not the first villain artwork no more ...

Oh well .. hopefully the suprises I have in the artwork will make up for it. Just don't tell!!

Everything looks great ...

I can't wait to see mine .. and I know it will be Gill's greatest piece!

...

Except I gotta wait until January for him to start it =D

Hey Missy K ... saw your artwork at the end of the comics last issue out.

And Gill, I read the PM and slapped in my request.

Nice work! beautiful.

opefully I can get the money to do a piece .. I'll post it here because my computer is .. well hard drive is erased .. hehe don't ask.

Was thinking of getting my main villain in a picture going up against Manticore, Statesman and Synapse. I know it sounds silly and fangirlish .. cause it is ... but I was wondering can you/will you do something like that?

I know you are most likely busy ... but drop me a PM and let me know if it can or cannot be done and if it's more due to teh sexah-ness of the three heroes.

Soooo I guess it's a no??

*patiently waits to see if Manticore will explain himself, in person, soon*

It would be nice if he would so I could look like less of a fool than I've already made myself discussing this point.

You don't look like a fool at all! Nooo sirrr ...

Man, I remember that vid. He has almost Einstein type long pepper hair. Looked liked the crazy guy from the comic shop rather than the lead designer of an MMO. I almost miss that look; he looks so... well, normal with short hair.


[/ QUOTE ]

You'll be glad to know that I've decided to leave my hair long in the future. No more short hair.

And I haven't lost any weight, though the Cryptic team has a personal trainer that we started working with in January. So I'm definitely more fit than I was.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah I can just see your personal trainer now ...

A large mob of crazed CoH/CoV players chasing ya down the street, with pitchforks and torches ...

Erm wait .. too many old horror movies.

Still love ya Jack <3 Though you made my heroes cry. And a big Tank crying isn't good.

Q24: What are Power and Control?
A24: A measure of the amount of power generation your base has, and how much computer power/whatever you have to run everything. Your base starts with ZERO! Before any items will function, you have to set up some power and control. Create a power room and place a Basic Generator (it will be in the tab at the far left), then create a control room and place a Mainframe and some Databases. This will give you enough power and control to run most basic items.


[/ QUOTE ]

I just need some clarification to make sure I am understanding this correctly.

My VG base is small the way I like it, and we just put in an arcane workshop. YAY! Until I realized we need power to run it. Doi.

Now if I understand correctly your comemnt above, I need to place a Magic Axis as the Core generator, and then add such things as bookshelves and desks to add more energy output?

And also looking as the rooms I can create, would I also need to make a power room for a generator along with a control room?

Nice work! beautiful.

We'll have giveaways - I can answer questions - David will be doing sketches (I think). I can't wait.

Does Positron sign bodyparts?

LOL ... hope no one throws/threw anything hard at you Jack.

As for me .. get someone dressed up as Synapse ... so I can smack him silly then take him out for a Philly cheesesteak. ::grumbles about CoV Beta ending event::

I'm sure there will eventually be a "'Go to Mercy Island' or 'Go to <insert other island zone>'" option. So another zone with totally different starter missions. Mercy Island isn't much fun to hang out in. Aeon City really feels more like an Atlas Park. But you're not going to want to hang out there until you're about 10th or so.

I think it would also be nice if there were AT specific starter missions. Like, "A Stalker, eh? Go sneak past these enemies and steal the plans for the death ray." Or, "Greetings Brute, this guy owes me money. Go break his legs and pummel all his friends."

I know making content based on origins doesn't work since most people are Magic and Mutant. But ATs are somewhat evenly distributed--well other than Corruptors and Dominators are less common.

[/ QUOTE ]

That would be interesting. Sort of like the missions one did in EQ2 when you wanted to become the next class. Like the Broawler got to punch and kick peeps, the Bard went into a hall to "entertain" well .. you actually kall pirates, the fighter went into an arena to fight animals to become a guardian ... stuff like that.

Well I had my fun with Elistia, my lvl 12 Erg/Erg Brute.

Lets see ... I was the first to meet up with War Witch on the MI3 I was on. She came up and punched me in the face, so I punched her back. I kept knocking her temp powers off with my Brawl .. go me!

On MI4 I believe it was ...
Ravenstorm ... I loathe you .. little punk kept one shotting me form BEHIND! Hello ... you are a villain aren't you?

Back Alley Brawler ... ah .. soo many close ups of your fists ... and your foot ... fun fun! Until I shouted in Broadcast for everyone to beat up on you ... then Ravenstorm one shotted me again ... little twit.

But Synapse ... little Synapse .. you are now officially on my "I'm gonna slap you around like a b****" list. Why? Because you were there, turned around to look at me, smiled, then drained all my endurance and took me out with your lightning bolt. I WILL DESTROY YOU! And Manticore, you can tell him that too ...

I missed States sadly, but ran into all the Agents more or less. Was around when Agent Grell<sp?> went down, and when one of the other Agents, forget the name, was picking villains off as they ran out of Kalindra's base .. that was funny.

Happy, happy, joy, joy. Just got back from picking up by pre-order kit at EBGames. So, it's now instores at EB.

Haven't had a chance to check out the disc yet, but the poster is lame. Limited Edition my [censored]. This is the same poster I got when I bought the CoH DVD edition. I know it's free, but I hate when a company hypes up crap.

Another complaint- Scratching off for the serial number. Scratching on the plastic it's painted on is difficult enough without gouging, but the number is so small too. I can barely read mine.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah about that scratch off ...

when my husband finally got it off, it made half of the letters unreadable and the ink actually smeared. But the people at CS was nice enough to help and get that code for him.

Just have the code written on a sleeve it's so much easier.

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks for the update, but let me get this straight?

If I'm a women who likes to play female characters and already ordered from EBGames because Gamestop was not accepting my creditcard due to a webpage malfunction I'm getting bleeped?

How fun...

[/ QUOTE ]

My dad had this problem. He just called the number on the screen and got the info to go through easily that way.

But my question, if it can be answered here, is this. When I placed in my code, the next window came up stating I would receive an e-mail when my account was updated from the code going through.

It's been 4-5 days since then and no e-mail. My address is correct because I recently got the CoV pre-order ad in my inbox.

So ... what now? Is it updated? Because I want to make sure it is so I can get my e-mail when open beta starts.

I'd like to make a few comments on GB's posting.

Though I've never done the TF's yet ...

do not blame yourself fully as a leader of a team if things go to pot.

First off, if you make a character, you need to know your limitations. If your Controller who was the Ill couldn't hold, then that was her fault for not slotting her powers correctly.

Secondly, I do agree talking is vital. The one character I love being a leader as is Taerun. He is my scrapper but I role-play him as a Jedi, which he is. Check my bio if you're ever on the Protector server.

Anywho, I act like a Jedi would in a sense that I communicate with the team. I realize what they can and cannot do. Such as last night in an 8 man group doing missions in Hollows. Ah the good old stop Trolls in cave stuff. We had a blaster level 8 that we SKed. Kept biting the dirt alot, I think from his AoE Fireball grabbing nasty aggro.

So first, I had him assist the Tank only. I also made sure to tell him to stick close to the healer that was designated to him. And guess what. Hour later and he didn't die again.

If for some reason you get those thick-headed people who don't want to listen there isn't much you can do about it. They either aren't used to their character or they are mainly a soloer. Let them know if they can't work together .. it's gonna be a looong TF or mission.

Hrm, I think I do. I'll be printing this puppy out tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

Hi. I just spent time reading this first post of this guide ... and don't understand a damn thing.

Endurance Reduction Enhancements and Recharge Reduction enhancements reduce the cost of time of a power, rather than adding to its effects. On these type of enhancements, the bonus amount is added to 1 and then the endurance cost or recharge time of a power is divided by that number. The formula for that is: base / (1 + bonus) = new value. As an example, a power that takes 20 endurance to use and recharges in 20 seconds, if enhanced with 2 SO endurance reduction enhancements and 2 SO reload reduction enhancements (both even with your level) would work like this: 20 / 1.66 = 12.05. So, the power would then cost 12 endurance, and reload in 12 seconds. Interrupt Time Reduction enhancements -may- work the same way, I haven't seen a definite dev statement one way or the other.

[/ QUOTE ]

How do you even get these numbers??

20 endurance to use and recharges in 20 seconds use
2 SO endurance reduction enhancements which are 33.30% each
2 SO reload reduction enhancements which are 33.30% each
(both even with your level) which gives a 1.00 each

would work like this: 20 / 1.66 (where does this number come from???) = 12.05.

I don't understand! I would like to know since I play with my husband and I am a tanker.

[ QUOTE ]
The formula for determining exactly how much boost an enhancement at a specific level is as follows:

+3 = *1.15
+2 = *1.10
+1 = *1.05
0 = *1.00
-1 = *.90
-2 = *.80
-3 = *.70

So, say you're level 31. You have a level 29 SO, and a level 34 SO. The level 29 SO gives you a 26.6% boost, and the level 34 gives you a 38.3% boost. This works the same, whether that 34 is a plain 34, or a 32++.

And this? Can anyone please explain in simple terms?

I'm begging here because I can't understand all this short lingo stuff and haven't found a thread that simply explains it.

Some over the top villian victory dances. Villians usually have their moment of victory. Maybe an "I'm number 1" dance and a "you can't touch me" dance.

Baggy pants optional ...

McHammer anyone? Can't touch this .. na na na na .... oooh yeah!

Besides a familiar sneer and all ..

I'll try to explain though it maybe hard too.
