    Yes, the bruising is real. It was added in I19.. or maybe I18 to encourage tanks to use their T1 attack.

    Me, like you, cant say how exact character customise work on CoX, but at least, i know the game tell me that custom things are hard to maintain.
    That space is space in a 100kb text file. They take a lot of room because the text file needs to list all the costume and power options.

    Custom MM's would be the same as if 6 more people logged on for every mastermind online. Given that MM's are 1 of 10 AT's that not a huge number.

    I've always loved the look of Propel. Just pure fun, throwing a pool table at a grey conning minion.

    However, I do love using Lightning Rod. Also, pretty much any Nuke makes me laugh with pure, overpowered joy.

    One thing I really enjoyed was using chain lightning from Elec Control on grey minions in a corridor. I could get them to bounce off the walls as the KD was upgraded to KB on them.

    I'm not saying I won't roll Alts on another server... but I won't be moving any off. Union is home. I may travel abroad a bit, but I always return home. (don't point out I'm a kiwi living in London though... )

    • Global names will have characters dropped (e.g. @Master Zaprob)
    I think most would prefer if we get both prepended with EU - so I'd become "EU Master Zaprobo" if there was a conflict. This is assuming nothing else could be worked out.
    Not quite. Globals will be erased and assigned to the first character you log in on. If there is still a clash then they'll drop names.

    Why do you assume everyone on Union will automatically leave? Most people I know will be sticking around. And from what I've heard Union Population is about on par with the mid range NA servers.
  6. While I'm not expecting to lose my global I feel for those who are. I feel the priority on names should be active over inactive (say 60 days or more) then veterancy. I don't understand people advocating worrying about customers who MAY come back over those playing NOW. Plan for the future, sure, but PROVIDE for now.

    Plus I like the bumpf
    Because the code unlocks access to elements in the game (ie Going Rogue) which you would otherwise have to buy seperatly.

    Got to ask but i guess you no longer say you have just the one alt now?
    It'll still be golden girl, exactly the same as all the other ones she has on each server in the NA list.

    you know there are 4 EU servers right? And they are based in the US now? And as far as I know the population on the two English ones is comparable with the other NA servers.

    But Yes, Best Feature Ever!
  10. My sister game me her old PC monitor to go along side my wide screen one. Is there anyway I can have 2 instances of the game with different option settings? I'd like to be able to have one on each monitor.

    I'll conceed that point, it is usually the first 4-5. I still don't think it'll be as big an issue as you think, much as scrappers and tanks are still played even though brutes can go blue side despite assurances that no one would bother once GR came out.

    Time will tell, but we also don't know what future content will require and maybe constant ranged damage will be very useful.

    But only in the mind of Min/Maxers. It wouldn't make much difference to the general population who just take the first 7 to turn up.

    So all this is because you were bitter that Brutes got nerfed?
  15. I don't really understand this whole 'Arrrgghh, xAT is obsolete by y happening' issue. This is a game that DOESN'T need anything. And most people I play with take the first 7 team mates and go with it.

    We're not all Min Maxers worried about DPA and DPS etc. I just play to shoot stuff. Blasters do that well from range, others do that well up close, others make it easier for everyone else to do it well. You play what you want to play. Blasters will always have a place cos they don't HAVE to do anything else. I prefer blasters cos I don't have to worry about keeping the rest of the team alive I can just blast. I prefer them over Melee as I often get lost in the powers FX and can't find a target in range.

    So I'll keep playing blasters and if people want to take someone else on the team over me cos of it, then I'm fine with that, cos they are to controlling for my liking anyways.

    Shattered, I'm on Union most evenings, varying between low level and high level based on how I feel. Would be more than happy to team any time. Globals are @Dave N Smith and @Steve B Smith. I know you said you don't like Duo's but it's easy to make a duo into a trio and a... quado (?) or more.
  17. Make the new room off to the side, move the teleporters to it and then delete the old room.

    Except that the market isn't the only source of supply. I love the price of alchemical silver because I tend to get 1 or 2 drop every day. If I really need it I tend to pay the price because I've sold so much at the price that it doesn't really matter, but if I was opposed I would just run some content and one would drop.

    So i guess really what I'm asking is this... Is RP the only reason why you cant pvp from both sides as a vigi or rogue?
    Because as a rogue heros don't quite trust you and are likely to view you as a villian (as you most recently were one) and vice versa for Vigi's.

    From a technical standpoint the game still considers you mostly a villian or a hero.

    Had to? I respeced the ones I was working on, the others already worked so I didn't bother. At some point I may respec them, but no rush. I never understood the rush.

    Except you did click it every time you started the game, it was just in the launcher. With the new launcher it had to be moved to the login screen. I do wish they would allow you to accept it with enter though.
