  1. "Move on, there's nothing left to see".

    Come on, seriously, US players don't have the right to complain on this matter because all the EU players that have left this side of the pond thinking US was the paradise of non-stop teaming, WE are the ones with almost no support, WE are the ones with no GR box on shelves, WE are the ones with our ranks weakened because all the people that bought an US account to have much more people to play with, and even tho it's fairly easy to arrange daily tfs, sfs, RWZ raids, Hami raids, etc.

    THAT'S what I look for and what I understand by "MMO", and the difference between this game and others outside, the capability of TEAMING through FREE regular issues, and as long as I can find a team or a regular SG to play with I don't really care the economic figures of NCSoft or Paragon Studios.

    So as I said, close this D00m thread and move on.

    The Pilgrim

    Thx for replies guys, and sorry for delaying my answer... I'll check it out this afternoon. The toon I was trying to get missions from Pilgrim is a lvl 50 defender, it seems I did some of his missions time ago when the Ouro Issue was released but I remembered a couple of weeks ago what kind of mobs were in them and as I wanted to use the rep tricks to spawn enough enemies in order to get both Isolator and shivans badges I thought it would be a better and easier run to get them in missions than hunting (specially Isolator).
  4. Grats on your 600 badges!

    My main badger currently has 495, so still way to go

    The Pilgrim

    As you may know, The Pilgrim is the 1st contact you find when you enter in Ouroboros, and gives you missions on which you can easily get both Shivans and Contaminated defeats badges blueside. Problem is when you already did this contact, as it's my case loooong time ago and now that I want to get these badges faster than trying to hunt them down in Bloody Bay or Recluse's Victory, he says "k, move on, there's nothing left to see", AND when I try to look for his story arc ("The Ouroboros Initiation") in the Pillar of Ice and Flame I can't find it... so my question is:

    Shall I get it unlocked by playing any other contact's arc? or if that's not the case and I can get it by myself what's the right range to look for in the Missions List?

    LOL! I've had to update the very title of this thread as I reached my 17th lvl 50 last night while running Pocked D missions! Now the balance is as follows:

    - Defiant Heroes: 6 (Defcon Kid, Blaster Kid, Tialfi, Hielo Radiactivo, Criogenia, Burn It Down)
    - Defiant Villains: 5 (Kadabra, Mordru, Negatron., AFK Man, Persuasor)
    - Union Heroes: 6 (Tiro Certero, Angelic Illusion, Piroquinetica, Pretor Defcon, Radioterapia, Canario Negro)

    W00t!!

    1 source could be tricky, 2 sources make me think that's the right date.
  8. You know, I'm part of the staff of a Spanish website dedicated to this great game

    http://auraycapa.superforo.net/

    I'm the mod who translates every single piece of news from the official forums to Spanish... and you're giving me a bit too work this week!

    - Free Transfer Server extended,
    - Dual Pistols Closed Beta,
    - GR news (release and pre-order dates, and a few things more),
    - Issue 17,
    - Spring Event (k, lets face it, it has NOTHING new in comparison to last year, butr some new players have arrived, besides I have to post it anyway to say my friends "eh guys, St. Valentine's event has arrived" just in case they want to take part on it with their last created characters),
    - AND now Double XP...

    ALL in the SAME week!! LOL

    I could complain, but I won't... I prefer this dinamic, having something to copy-paste and translate gives me the feeling that this game is well ALIVE... LONG LIVE COX!
  9. Linky to MMORPG.com:

    http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/g...-Overhaul.html

    Pretty interesting the part where it says "beginning on March 2nd", as Avatea didn't mention a pre-order launch date... that's why there's nothing in NCStore... yet... I cannot waiiiiit!!

    Test Server

    Dual pistols currently in test server, that's why... regarding the queued feature, I think it's new, at least I didn't notice it yet.
  11. YIHAAAAAAAA!!! Excellent news! A bit weird the fact of unlocking EATS so soon, I feel like it should stay as it is now, as a kind of reward for achieving a lvl 50, but the rest is simply superb!
  12. Thx for the credit, but I simply copy-pasted the last bit of information from the OP in the repository Hero Con thread:

    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=196483
  13. I'd deffo say powerset proliferation, remember what was told along the Hero Con:

    Upcoming feature: You do not have to log out to switch character
    Upcoming feature (confirmed for I17): Enemies/Objectives will be marked on the mission map when 90% of the enemies/objectives have been defeated/found
    Upcoming feature: Enhancement prices will be standardized across all vendors/contacts
    Upcoming feature: Electricity Control for Controllers (And possibly Dominatiors)
    Upcoming feature: You will be able to trade inspirations between factions
    Upcoming feature (confirmed for GR): MA size limit is being doubled (YES DOUBLED!! )

    Sweet Sixteen

    Tvm m8! Taking advantage of this so special moment, I encourage people to join Infernal Justice, our 2nd Legion is reaching lvl 50 now, but we will start the 3rd one soon, take a look of our forums and join us!

    Last Thursday my spines scrapper Burn It Down from Infernal Justice SG reached lvl 50, that makes my 16th 50!

    You can check my full characters list by clicking in my signature, although they are showed up mixed from both Defiant and Union; checking them separately, they are currently as follows:

    - 6 in Defiant Heroes,
    - 5 in Defiant Villains,
    - 5 in Union Heroes

    Furthermore, there are 2 more characters that can reach lvl 50 soon, a fender in Union and a troller in Defiant (lvls 49.6 y 47.3, respectively)

    So to sum up, although I play in both servers I'm much more dedicated to Defiant, my 1st server when I started playing 58 months ago...

    go Defianters go!!
  16. Hmpf.... I had already voted for Telly in the other thread, but now I come to think it's all a Nemesis plot! yeah yeah we all heard that sentence before, and I'm not kidding, I just thought about it... it's all a marketing tactics... did you notice that NO ONE ELSE has posted anything AGAINST the poor Spring Event? ha, check it and you'll see it's true! Now everyone (even be, as I said) is taking a side in this poll between Aeon and the Telly. I bet it's Nemesis pulling our strings again!
  17. I wonder if this is still going on.... after all, Manticore didn't post anything nor January nor this month (I know, still plenty of time in this month yet, BUT his posts were usally 2nd - 3rd of each month, so technically he hasn't replied on February).
  18. Maybe a good idea for you would be to join both sals badgehunters and Union Taskforce, 2 Union focused chat channels, motds are updated quite often with task forces, events, etc... btw just out of interest, there's a Hamidon Raid scheduled for the Saturday 13th of February and that's a good chance for you to get the 2 exploration badges places in The Hive
  19. Meh... I was pretty certain it wouldn't bring anything new, but I hoped that it included anything like the Halloween event, seems I was mistaken.

    Besides, watching that the last Issue was released in early October and GR is supposed to be released anytime in the 2nd quarter of the year (April - June), and it's a SO long time, I expected anything in the middle, according to what Posi said in the Hero Con regarding Issue 17, powerset proliferation (electric domination) and so, but it seems again that I bet the wrong horse.

    At least, as some of the previous posts have already typed, I can get the badges with some of the toons I've created in the last year, otherwise I'd have an anxiety disorder waiting for GR
  20. HUGE congratulations to those of you who took part on it; I couldn't attend because I had a previous appointment (MoSTF attempt in Defiant at 8:00 UK), but I'll deffo try to be there for the 13th.
  21. Very touching my friend.

    Aye, it's been a whole year worth ride... and more incoming hehe... our first lot reached 50 by October, and the 2nd hatched demons blueside area about to reach it too, ready to praise their Lord, Infernal the Benevolent, member of the hero group called The Vindicators...

    Soon after that, an horde of demons from the underworld being not so pleased to help the mankind, but otherwise they'd rather see it sunk in despair and sin, freed themselves from Infernal's bounds and conquered by force an already stablished VG called Liga de las Sombras because it seemed pertinent to them, watching what was that name translated into English... The League of Shadows... Now this new generation of devilish creatures are gathering power in the wake of the return of his hated master, Infernal the Praetorian.

    I must say that only once before I had played the same character with the same group of people over and over again from lvl 1 to 50, and I enjoyed it a lot because of the fun and jokes and seriously concentrated moments... now think how pleased I am of doing it again but not once, but 3-4 different characters... unforgettable from the very 1st day to the last Wednesday, when we met again with our original characters, now all turned to lvl 50, and made a Lady Grey race.

    Top 100 SG/VG

    Yay us! Aye, as uther said, tomorrow is the 1st official birthday of Infernal Justice, and we do still have plenty of things to do, Eden, Sewers, STF, Lady Grey, Kahn... go demons go, our beloved master Infernal is watching us, we can't disappoint him!
  23. Sometimes desktop is not an option, and not for a lack of money, but in my case my desktop is in the far left room of the house, exactly the oposite side of the house to where the living room is, so I had to choose playing completely alone or with my family... there was no real choice to do, after all

    Admittedly, when I've played again in my desktop the quality is far better than my laptop, specially because when I tried to use in the laptop a higher mode than Minimum everything lags and frozes, while it works great either Performance or Recommended in the desktop one. But as I said, I had no choice.
  24. Just a quick re-reading of the whole thread shows me that most of my possible questions have already been made, so simply put, congratulations WW on your new position and good luck with it!
