So far I've seen 5th and Council slugging it out in Boomtown, Steel, and Sharkhead. And in all three locations, even when the numbers are evenly matched, the 5th Column are pretty much presenting the Council their a**es on a tray.

Myth: That it is physically impossible to build a grav/kin troller without Speed Boost, Inertial Reduction, or Increase Density. The game will either lock up, force you to choose the power, or teleport Castle to your side to beat you over the head with a nerf bat.

No, that one is not mine. I'm guessing that's the official one (and if it is, more power to them, although why the hell they haven't promoted that vid more is beyond me).
And to answer the rumors... yes, I've come out of retirement to make a trailer for Issue 16, and have begun working on one for GOING ROGUE. (As to why I retired... long story. As to why I'm back... thank the handful of players who would not take "I'm retired" as an answer and made it possible for me to make another trailer.)
I'm still waiting on the music licensing permission, but with luck, mine will be up on Friday. And to whet your appetites... this sucker is INTENSE.
*pause*
Although given that the official ones keep getting better, I may go back INTO retirement.

For some reason Born in Battle shows me as having 5 of 7 badges required, even though I clearly have 6 of them. I will be getting the last tonight to check what's going on...

Had the same problem with bots/dark MM zoning and bots came with but were not MY pets. Also, bots are once again getting hung up on apparently nothing (both indoors and outdoors).
The "Born in Battle" accolade (before I got it, and was ONLY missing "Iron Woman") said - "You have 5 of 7 badges"... there are only six now. Dinged "Iron Woman" and boom, Accolade.
Re: the geometry, neat - I will have to go look at that.
Re: the drop rate of recipes - says who? I-16 went live yesterday - I set my lvl 50 bots/dark MM to +0/8-man team. Have gotten two purples in two days by doing newspaper missions. I like these odds.

Soulsteel, my lvl 50 bots/dark/Soul Mastery MM was my difficulty guinea pig.
+0 diff/8-man team... Soulsteel 1, Circle of Thorns 0
+1 diff/8-man team... Malta 5, Soulsteel 1
+0 diff/8-man team... Malta 2, Soulsteel 1
+1 diff/8-man team... Arachnos 4, Soulsteel 1
This has the definite possibility of going for that more epic feel, where my heroes and villains go, "Ha... you guys have numbers, but this is ME!"
And my powers now look pretty.

My 12-year old son and I play COH together and we are having problems finding a SG which accepts someone his age. He and I used to be in a SG called Phoenix Prime where he learned the ropes of how to be a good MMO citizen and how to use TS. When, our beloved SG disbanded, we both went on to do other things. Now, we have a renewed interest in playing COH/COV and would love to join a super hero themed SG.

Normally I'd have used Samuraiko as my handle because it's my longstanding nickname on several other forums and websites, plus a nickname of great personal significance (for me).
However, as I'd used it as my login, I instead opted to take my forum name from my first character on my own account, the emp/dark defender Dark Respite. It had a certain symmetry to it that I very much enjoyed. But this is the only place I'm known as Dark Respite (or D_R for short). Everywhere else, I'm Samuraiko.
Hence my usual signoff...

Do not worry, we will watch. For your trailers, we will make time!
And music licensing? You telling me that all those youtube movies use licensed music?
And lets hope this will be the i16 launch.

NO NO NO NO NO!!! I can't post my I-16 trailer yet, I haven't gotten the final music licensing permission! And if the issue goes live first, everyone will be too busy to watch it...

I usually get caught up on my email, the forums, and working on the occasional video. Or I play one of the other games I have on my computer.

Any chance that Sister Flame and posse will be coming to HeroCon? I can just imagine her in costume with a TON of gamers willing to make Clickey-Clack costumes just to follow her around. Or disco trolls.

Ugh - especially since quite a few of the devs have kids, I hope none of them catch it. Concurring with the well-wishes and advice...

Apparently people thought Grav/Energy doms were impossible to play - my husband cheerfully got one all the way to 50 (and not by grinding) and LOVES that character. He has also proven that a grav/en dom can be a surprisingly effective PvP combatant, but I think that has more to do with his play style...
My kin/energy defender gets a few weird looks...

Same EXACT name, address, phone, email, and credit card info. ALL of the information (save the characters, obviously) must match.
If anything is different, it won't work (my husband and I have virtually identical accounts save our names - same address, credit card, everything, and we can't move one of my characters off his to mine).
Michelle

Unfortunately, no.
The ONLY exception (and I would highly suggest double-checking with customer support on this one) MIGHT be if the two accounts are completely identical. However, I wouldn't get my hopes up that you can.

Hmmmm... let's compare the state of affairs heroside vs villainside.
Heroside - theft, gang warfare, mafia warfare, assault, arson, rampaging monsters, heroes and law enforcement that JUST STAND THERE, driving so bad you'd think that Paragon City's zip code automatically generates the highest insurance rates on the planet...
Villainside - Longbow, corrupt cops arresting thugs, religious protesters, mafia warfare, corporate raiding, and one whole zone where the villains can bash on Arachnos for the simple reason that they're between you and the door you want to get to. But they've got a CIRCUS!

I tend to organize my trays the same way...
Bottom row - Melee/ranged powers
Middle row - Buffs/toggles
Top row - Accolades/travel powers/rest
External tray four (3 horizontal, 4 vertical, just to the left of the regular 3 trays) - temp powers collection
Inspirations from left to right: Greens Blues Red/Yellow Orange/Purple Breaks/Wakes

26 "Lost Connection to Mapserver" in FOUR MINUTES? It took me 20 minutes to get to ICON from where I stood by Positron.
Also global channels are down, tells aren't getting through, and EVERYTHING has got a 10-20 second lag time.
