  1. I hope to see it up soon! And thanks for the good work, I know you guys are doing what you can to get this resolved.

    Oh, I really hope that's the case.
  3. It's a real shame, he was a terrific actor. Died so young.
  4. I never really met him, but it still saddens me to hear of his departure. May he rest in peace.
  5. It is probably just an early incentive for people to move there.
  6. As often as possible. But as they said they would do it weekly, I will stick to that. I hardly think they'd like the idea of establishing deadlines for anything.
  7. Double drops for PvE and PvP is alright. But for AE? Don't we need more incentive for people to play the other areas of the game? PvP surely could use some new players.
  8. I thought it was going live with freedom? I am not home atm.
  9. Fingerless/Wrapped gloves.
    Sinister boots.
    Tank top or Tights - sleek
    Fury hairstyle.

    A 20% chance to hide on your attacks is a 20% crit rate on Stalkers.
    Stalkers will reign supreme as the king of single target DPS.
    Except that scrappers get a straight 20% crit buff, which is much better.

    What if when not Hidden, the Interrupt Time was "zero" (or as close to zero as to make no difference). It ought to be perfectly possible to apply a +10,000% Interrupt Reduction when NOT HIDDEN modifier into the power (somehow) so as to achieve this effect.
    I don't think anyone uses it out of hide. It's even worse DPA. And I keep on getting it interrupted even when I am hidden and doing nothing else. The interruptible thing is too much of a nuisance.

    !!!This needs fixing!!!
    Um...at least in Virtue you can find teams red side pretty much at any time, you just have to know where to look.

    For some bizarre reason many people now think that with freedom they are being ripped off unless they get eternal VIP sub for free. Go figure.
  14. On a side note, can't we get useful player-designed NPCs in our bases?
  15. What about Lord [Redacted] from the Censored World?

    Maybe he meant the VIP head start?

The game expects us to feel humiliated and depressed at the end of the day and consider that to be a GOOD thing. And it just isn't.
    Exactly! We don't get to enjoy the best of being a villain, it's all about being told what to do. The excuse as to why we do it is always along the lines of the contact "paying" you to do it. It's so ridiculous, and I am glad that they are changing that. It is most uncreative. We need better reasons to do what we do. For the whole game you get to see the actual villains (contacts) accomplishing their plots using you as a tool. You don't actually do anything for your own benefit.

    And this all happen at the same ime, mind, not spread out across a map like regular stuff.

    Sure, you might be able to personally best Lord Recluse in a fight, but the full might of the organization (that mind, has access to nukes, among other more sophisticated weapons) is a different thing altogether.

    It's the difference between having a punch-out with Putin and facing he entire russian army.
    My character did not flinch when he was told that he would have to fight hundreds of Legacy Chain agents and a dozen heroes that had just recently arrived from Paragon to take him down, all at the same time. Sure he had the power of the blood coral, but still.

    Speaking of which, that arc was pretty awesome.
  19. Yes, it's more annoying than usual today.
  20. Most of us are so used to modern urban life that any attempt to introduce new ideas into a primitive people would be so abstract that they probably would not remain. What do we know about survival? Pre-historical people would care about discovering efficient tools and materials for general use, and more importantly, the introduction of farming techniques. Can you do that? Farming is what made people first settle down. No one will care about your civilizing plight if you can't keep their stomachs full with little effort and risk. The discovery of bronze changed the world for good and iron changed it once more. Do you know how to use and obtain such metals? It really seems almost irrelevant when we are surrounded by everything that we need to live comfortably.

    Anyways, Gandhi is not the problem, Montezuma is.

    CoH free trials

    Removing all of the stuff from the store before Freedom was a terrible move. They will have to wait a good while to play for free, since we are getting the head start before Freedom really launches.

    Except that people are not exactly bound to blue side and they can visit red side with their vigilantes and create new characters there at any time. Adding unbalanced updates would just draw villains away from red side and make it even less populous than it currently is.

    I did use my empath to team for the first time in almost a year a few days ago and had an enjoyable session, but the "experts" seem unwilling to leave me alone. They see in search that I don't team with "experts" or "power gamers" and think I need to team with anyone that demands it or that they are owed some explanation of my choices in teammates. That I should basically shut up and listen and take their wise advice. I suppose I'll open up for teaming again at some point, but I really don't want to be harassed right now. And if I don't want to be harassed, this would appear to be my best option.
    In what server do you play? I think you've been with the wrong people.
