    It'll be on the list... but I still need to make that return trip to RV for AVs again... hopefully sometime in October for that.

  4. Wish I could make it online for this, but I'm in the wrong time zone for that to work out. I may have to steal this idea for the Matinee though.

    Probably true... I asked for a source so I could see details about what it should be doing according to the devs. They might decide that AV levels should be locked or some such craziness.

  8. Another pair of short events this week. First, an Eden Trial (L39-41) followed by a Kahn TF (L45-50). Unless we have a wonky team, we can try and make the Kahn attempt a Master run for the new badge if there is enough interest. When signing up, specify which character for which part (Eden first, then Kahn), especially if you are only interested in one part. Obviously levels are not as important now with the super side kicking as long as you meet the minimum listed above.

    1. Darkbridger - Fiery Caress (L39 Fire/Thermal Controller) & Mediocrity Man (L50 BS/Regen Scrapper)
    2. MikeHoncho - Mike Honcho (L50 Kat/Regen Scrapper) & same
    3. CinderSpawn - Phantom Force (L50 Ill/Rad Controller) & Xander the Protector (L50 Kat/SR Scrapper)
    4. Katfood - Something & Something Else
    5. Steeple - Steeple (L50 Inv/SS Tank) & Divine Scourge (L50 Fire/Kin Controller)
    6. Killerhurtz - Hurtz (L42 Dark/Dark Scrapper) & Killerhurtz (L50 Elec/Elec Blaster)
    7. SpyderNoir - Naphil (L50 PB) & same

    Why all the respecs... because of the epic power pool changes?

    Looks like i16 is live today. When I logged in and went to a server with available character slots, the new character creator was active. Still wouldn't let me on Justice... got the same message you got.

    As to n00bs: I can get exasperated with them at times, but on balance I like them - I always try to be helpful, and I can think of a few folks who I mentored a bit as "n00bs" who are far more advanced than I am now... CoH/V is complex enough that effective play is non-obvious, so NO one starts as any kind of "expert". And you never know what someone will become. Actually the SG I founded - Blazing Justice Squad - was pretty much a n00b haven when I started it, a tradition that continues to this day... we love the tabula rasas

    The best place to find n00bs used to be The Hollows, and I used to love to go there with my high level defenders and sort of descend from the heavens to help out beleaguered toons by debuffing big mobs or throwing out heals, or even just standing at the Atlas gate broadcasting the availability of resurrections and teleports to pre-travel toons stuck out in the Gulch or something.

    I will admit that I'm probably more impatient, nowadays, with some of the AE "n00bs" - somehow the fact that it's clueless level 50s bugs me in a way that a clueless level 6 doesn't, but the fact is they are only playing the game in what they assume is the conventional way. I have noticed a trend lately of AE 50s deciding to spread their wings and try other avenues of play, so I *try* to patiently explain how to get to PI, and so on.... and I resist the temptation to invite them to rated arena matches...

    So I guess I'm nice
    Does this mean you're no longer retired. I mean... a PvPer actually coming BACK to the game... that's... unusual.

    PAX Anyone?

    Doesn't Kat live in that part of the country... maybe you can coax her out of her blade-encrusted lair with an offering of coffee?

  21. I'd be interested in this... most things I've seen you run tho, tend to happen before I get home from work. I won't list the upcoming "master of" badges yet... I think two of them will be pretty easy to get.

    MoSTF - Badger is a Scrapper as well, have a Fire/Rad and Kin/Elec for "trades".

    Available weeknights at 11pm eastern or later (10pm when the time change happens)
    Available saturdays and sundays at various times, except during the Matinée.
  22. Obviously, we need a Claws Blaster Primary and Secondary set to really make that work.

    .
    Sorry, that doesn't necessarily follow. Just because we have 20 zones doesn't mean each has 1/20th of the population all the time. Many zones are far less populated than others. Adding more zones will spread everyone out, but I'm not sure that's a bad thing, up to a point. More variety is good no matter how you slice it. People that like to sit in one zone to do things are already doing it... AE. You don't even have to be in the same AE building to form teams thanks to the AE chat channel. While I don't want to see 1000s of zones (and I don't think Paragon has the man power to reach that), the villain side does indeed need some additional zones, and has needed them for a long time. The hero side can probably get by with re-working zones (Perez, Boomtown, Dark Astoria, etc) while enjoying any new co-op zones, but I'd still like to see more zones with fun new themes. The more places to see and things to do in the game, the longer new players (and veterans) should (not necessarily a given) stay interested.

    At a minimum, if the game is no longer big enough to warrant zone additions outside of paid products, then I'd like to see a concerted effort on the part of the devs to alter existing zones periodically to keep them fresh. This doesn't have to be entire re-working, and could involve smaller segments or small new additions to replace stagnant sections. The mechanics of the game have been changing at a feverish pace, but the environment and story itself is growing increasingly stagnant.
