I signed it not only in the name of helping to allow you folks to keep enjoying the only MMORPG that allows players to be creative with the Architect Entertainment, and has the fewest grief players in all the MMORPGs i've played, in addition to the best Solo and Group experience ever, but also in high hopes of keeping the 80 people who have lost thier jobs from having to go through the horror show of having to look for another job because I did my part as a member of this community work to ensure they have a new one to come back to.

I used to want Status Effect Protection for Human Form, but I have done well so far without. I might have accepted a status reduction power, but with the Aegis and other status effect reduction enhancements, what's the point? I just buy and use those things. I don't even have to pay 200 billion influence per recipe to buy from the auction house. I can just buy those super pack thingys and they give me reward merits and I use about 250 to 500 of those things and I get one. No issue there.

Also wanted the Nictus and Quantum Mobs eliminated, but they now do massive Negative Energy Damage, so I just worry about getting enough Negative Energy defense and resistance and though they still easily kill me, at least I am not getting one shot killed by a minion and really, most of my deaths on my Peacebringer has been mostly too much aggro and not enough inspirations, endurance, and health and regen, etc. to stay afloat and live. Factors that even kill my Brutes.

I like the toggle supression idea where them toggles used in human form stay on but get supressed when you turn into a Dwarf or Nova. My only other idea would be to make the powers you get from taking the Dwarf and Nova unenhanceble and have a set accuracy,damage, endurance reduction, etc. like the temp powers you get from the Mayhem and Safeguard Missions or the vetran powers such as Sands of Mu and the Blackwand. I am not certain if being buffed with powers such as tactics or fortitude or fulcrum shift would affect those powers. But I am sure they would be effective enough to where even Peacebringers should consider taking Bright Nova so they can do things like exemplar down and still have at least two single target attack powers and a cone attack AOE attack, plus an AOE attack. But this idea really saves alot of slots and it takes a tiny bit of the stress of slotting a Kheldian out.

My two cents

I am considering making a Supergroup for all my Brutes, but the problem is, I really like the Supergroup and Coalition I am already in. But they have a limited number of slots available and they are a power player supergroup with players that can and usually DO get from level 1-50 in a day! So no suprise they are making LOTS of toons. In fact, the leader himself actually owns 4 to 6 of his own supergroups on both Villian and Hero side. Right now, they say they will delete inactive characters if they need to, but that rarely happens. They just treat folks right and are very generous. You never need to borrow infamy from any of them, because they do alot of task forces and AE farm Missions and love to have you join, so you just join and usually you earn enough currency to simply buy your own SO's, easily, even though the leader can easily flatulate 50 million infamy. I fear advertising them because I don't want people taking advantage of these folks.

So what I am considering doing is simply asking the supergroup and coalition leader if I can make my own Supergroup and have it join the coalition. I am not doing much in game these days, except spending a great deal of time working at my job, and when I do play the game. I am mostly focused on making my 8 AE Story Arcs which are actually just stories, not farm missions and creating my Brutes in Praetoria and playing them there until they hit level 20, then go to Sharkheard, turn Rogue, Rob a bank in a mayhem mission, then go to First Ward and do it's story arc. (Don't do this it's WAY slower doing the sewer trial over and over.) I do group ALOT in game By the Way. I got Brutes that are level 50, so I just sign up for incarnate trials and I got one with all tier 4 abilities and about to get a second one!

Can I just make a second account later this year if I get approved, and then create the Supergroup and then recruit all of my brutes? I also don't want my second account to go to waste, so I am considering all Masterminds and an Arachnos Crabspider on that account, but the short duration of most buffs actually turn me off and I want a Mastermind that will be useful in Incarnate Trials by himself with no pets, except for the BAF. I don't think soloing is really an issue, I guess I just use my Brutes to level myself and refer to the Mastermind Forums for advice on how to do incarnate trials before asking for one. But what Mastermind should I start out with?

I even got a great idea where the new Masters of Evil should establish thier base of operations! They can get a plot of land on Wonder Woman's Amazon Island! It's beautiful, it's tropical, it's guarded by chicks, it's in a secret location, and get this! The Civilization there invented an invisible jet! Those guys might be able to aquire the plans so they can build a whole fleet of thier own high tech invisible jets!

I don't think Wonder Woman's Mom would mind if they had a base of operations there. All they gotta do is keep the Sandman away from the quicksand, so he doesn't sink under and they be ok. Who knows, she might be able to get the Mandarin to send his own interior decorator to help decorate there and even invite those guys over for Thanksgiving Brunch! Ghost Widow and Battle Maiden aren't afraid to battle those mean Amazon women in thier arena sports!

I just read in Wikipedia that Hawkeye was the first Marvel Superhero to join the Justice League after going into thier dimension from his own!

Well, If DC Comics and Marvel can collaborate like that, then I say they make a new Masters of Evil comics where they are intent on world domination and becoming gods like in Marvel Ultimate Alliance!

How about we have Captian Mako and Lord Recluse be in that group!?

We can have Victor Von Doom, Slade/Deathstroke, Magneto, Lex Luthor, the Riddler, Black Scorpion and Captian Mako, Cobra Commander and Destro, Battle Maiden, Bullseye, Ultron, and many other Supervillians we can think of!!! Respond with more villians you want to see in this totally awesome group! Who knows, they might find a way to destroy Superman!

Superheroes always saving the day is getting lame anyways, let Evil have this run, at least until we can make a sequal to where things are totally ruined for them! Because being evil is cool!

Oh, well got to vent anyways, and it felt good.

Ahh, I get it. I think.

That was going to be my next question when I could remember to ask, was about those those enhancement converters and the catalysts.

Nice. That will help out alot, thanks.

You know those Villian/Hero Packs that give out the Elemental Order Costume pieces and those special enhancements?

I am thinking about buying some of them, but the problem is, I only play Brute and I am worried about getting Defender, Controller and Mastermind enhancements I can't use, is there a way to sell those in the Black Market or at Wentworths?

Is there a limit to how many AE story arc slots we can own? I already own 8 of them and currently 4 (level 45-54) story arcs posted already (though they need editing) and have another one on the way and yet an idea for a 6th one.

But my goal is to eventually get 8 (level 45-54) story arcs up and going, but have room for only one farm mission (And only one! How many more do we need!?) and have another 4 slots for lower level story arcs and and single mission story arcs.

But could I own around 13-15 AE Story Arcs?

I like not, wait, LOVE the idea of a Psychic Melee powerset where you use your fists and even a decent Psychic armor powerset, even suggested it on these forums.

I don't see why not. If you do ALL of the First Ward Story Arcs, you will fight alot of mobs that already have Psychic Melee attacks. So we can just use those animations mostly I would imagine. That way they need only make a few more.

As for Psychic melee weapons, they got an incarnate power that adds a psionic proc to any weaponset chosen though it's not the same as the Night Widow Claws, where you do lethal damage followed by a Toxic Dot that also adds a slow and recharge reduction to the attack.

Well, these replies are actually good news. I can vouch for Aggelakis myself, because this person has edited at least one article I know of the Paragon Wiki. If this person says it's vetted, that means they got people who actually check the material that gets posted to prevent misinformation. This person's response is a relief and that tells me we will get Staff Fighting in the future for certain

Sorry to be like that, but I am suspicious of most wiki's after hearing what a well known radio personality has said about wikipedia on his radio talk show.

This radio personality had the number one talk show geared towad men ages 18-35 in Los Angeles which is rumored to be the lucrative market in the Unite States. Anyways, because of his position, he knows alot of celebrities and claimed his own wikipedia page and the pages of other celebrities are full of inaccuracies and misinformation.

He even did a show about some poor lady in Kansas who actually recieved an email from somebody claiming to be the Prince of Nigeria asking her to wire a few hundred dollars to Nigeria in exchange for a million dollars. Which of course, was a scam she fell for. This radio talk show host actually joked later on that the same Prince of Nigeria wrote his wikipedia page creating this inside joke for me.

But anyways, that may be other wikis out there. But it's clearly not the Paragon Wiki, which is what matters right now. Ignore my post.

I was just checking out the Titan Weapons Powerset and came across a page on a new powerset called Staff Fighting. I have read no mention anywhere on the City of heroes pages or anything from any known dev that this powerset is even being considered, much less coming out soon. Where did this info come from?

Did the writer get it from a reliable source or did the same Prince of Nigeria who sent me an email in my spam wanting to wire him ten thousand dollars so he can wire me a million dollars write it?

Anyways here is the page: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Staff_Fighting

This thread is making me even consider getting a second account to run. I used to play another MMORPG called Dark Age of Chamelot and I did run two accounts once. I had a main account with whatever I wanted to mainly play, then I had a second account with only a cleric, which was like a defender and a Friar, which is like a scrapper with some buffing ability. But most buffs in that game lasted at least ten minutes each.

The deal breaker for me in this game so far is the short duration of most buffs. I don't think they got one that last longer than two minutes at a time. Not sure. But thats a turn off for me because I don't want to have to keep going back and forth to rebuff every 30 seconds. I like to check on the other toon once every 4-5 minutes.
Also, the only archetype I am ever going to play these days is Brute with the exception of Night Widow/Fortunata Dual Build and my Crab Spider. They do fine in solo play without the need for a defender to keep buffing them.

But whats making me change my mind is the tier 4 incarnate abilities. They have a great recharge time and last a decent amount of time making them ok to autofire or something. Also I can make a Mastermind and a Brute on the other account to help me PL my own brutes and veats. Thats a good idea since I love Brute and the Veats so much.

I can just simply have the Mastermind summon the pets and set them to aggressive, buff my brute or veat, have the mastermind stand still nearby and have the brute or the Veat pull the mobs to the mastermind! Might work with fire controllers, too! This is something to consider.

Somebody also jokingly suggested Badger Melee on another post I made, we could do that but use Raccoons instead!

Make sure they can summon a pet skunk that has a fear aura toggle and a long recharge AOE spray that makes his foes wretch and puke!

Skunky has to be a cute, cuddly woodland creature. :'(

I can't turn down the opportunity to also add a mini war walker to my wish list. Though I still want a Pug for my heroes to show off and a raccoon for my villians to help out with the mayhem missions! Because two bandits are better than one!

I bought the German Shepard pet power and I really like it. But I want a non combat pet Pug, Boston Terrier, and a Raccoon non combat pet power! :'(

I am playing both a Fortunata/Night Widow and a Crab Spider. Love them both. I made them look almost like the mobs themselves. The crab spider was an average size male when he was a wolf spider, but I bought the super tailor access and made him huge and gave him a height similiar to the Crab Spiders you find in St Martial and kept his armor black to where he looks identical to them, too.

Drives my brother in law crazy when he teams with me and I am playing that toon. Especially when we are fighting Arachnos and there is a battle between the Crab Spiders and my Crab Spider. I even buy the Back Up Radio and use it to summon a Crab Spider to help us when fighting AV's/Elite Bosses and that irritates him making me love my Crab Spider more!

But I am curious. If I take the wolf spider version of venom grenade and Wide area web grenade (hypothetically speaking of course) and use the large arm blades for gloves in his costume. Will it hide the gun for me and make it look like he is shooting grenades out of his arms? Should I take a dare to risk wasting two respecs to find out? Is there a way to find out without using a respec?

I recently earned 73 Astral Merits and used 70 of those to buy myself all 7 Ascension Armor Pieces. Thing is, I believed it was 70 merits per character and didn't know it was unlocked account wide so I was delighted to find out my other level 50s have that armor, too!

But I also noticed it was delievered in your email account and seeing how your email is automatically deleted every two months from the delivery date, will I have to earn another 70 merits and buy a whole new set in two months for the toons that can't claim it in time?

Here we go, found a link talking about those cases. This is all the info they provided.

You guys know when/if those City of heroes game cases go for sale? I have been checking the Antec Website, but have not seen those for sale,yet.

You guys find anything about that?

I guess I am WAY too early to be asking such a question right now. Seeing as how Issue 21 has practically just now come out. But has anybody heard anything about gift cards that we buy and redeem for Paragon Points going for sale at 7-11, Wal-Mart, Target, and Gamestop by any chance?

Not that I mind buying directly from the in-game website, heck, I have been buying from them from time to time and I subscribed for at least 70 months. Never had a problem. Just that I also bought myself one of those new Xbox 360's so I can buy bargain bin games to play in times that City of Heroes is down. So I would prefer to buy myself Paragon Point gift cards from Gamestop to earn thier rewards. Plus it's more convienent to pick up a gift card when I go to buy Xbox 360 games and accessories from them.
