    I think Catwhoorg is right. You'll probably be okay because it was less than 24-hours until you re-activated, but I'd open a ticket anyway.

    You just proved the alternative meaning is in fact correct. Have a cookie.
    As many have pointed out, for most players, the invasions aren't a problem. Personally, I had a level one (skipped the tutorial) at the Atlas trainer the other day when an invasion hit. I gained four levels standing there and fighting. Didn't get defeated once.

    As far as this thread, at this point, you're just trolling. People have offered several suggestions that might help with your complaint, but you're still whining and arguing.

    It's not necessarily a bad idea. Part of the reason people are not agreeing with you is that your post indicated that people who fight Rikti invasions near the Atlas trainer (most of us) are rude. If you really want to campaign for a change, turn your message from negative to positive.

    There was a great solution already posted in this thread:

    Campaign for drones at all trainers. Call it a "quality of life" issue. Point out that it makes sense to have drones at all trainers, not just some of them. Call it a change that will benefit everyone.

    Don't complain that the current situation has a negative impact on you, tell others how the change will help them play and enjoy the game.
  4. Two points:
    • You can train anywhere. Go to Galaxy, go to the Rikti War Zone. They are not difficult to access.
    • If you cannot survive the invasion, you should either log off that character or leave the zone. Even if the trainer's area was clear of all other players, you'd be attacked and defeated by invading forces.

    I turned 44 earlier this week.

    Amerikatt, are you saying you're 70? If so, you win the thread (so far)!

    "No, because it would look stupid," however, seems perfectly reasonable to me. It's entirely subjective, sure, but it's fine as a reason to not want something.

    (For the record, I do think that the swinging in CO looks stupid)
    There are a number of powers currently in CoH that "look stupid".

    There are really no good arguments against putting a swinging travel power into the game.

    So his "announcement" is that there is no announcement.

    The uppercut on cobra strike is a nice variation but seriously, why use it there instead of an actual damaging power?

    Exactly.

    I'm not ll that familiar with MA and didn't even think about that. What a waste of a great animation

    This is Truth.


    I never take that power, but I sure do like the new animation.

    The videos are great. Thanks, Zek!

    I hate to complain, but I agree with others that the MA punches were not terribly exciting. Most of them did not look powerful. The Eagles Claw alternate animation looked like the character was throwing something.

    I did like the new SS animations, especially the ground punch to replace Foot Stomp.

    EDIT:
    I want to temper my original comments about the MA animations. They don't suck. They just need a little more "oomph". I'm grateful to have them and I'll certainly use them on my existing and newly-created MA characters.
  16. I was optimistic that Going Rogue would be out this year, but after hearing them talk about recently getting new concept art for the expansion, I think GR looks more like a 2010 release.

    One reason I was hopeful of a 2009 release is that we haven't had much in the way of new content this year. Features, yes. Content, no. So what has the mission writing team been doing for the past year or so? I hope they've been working on GR, but who knows? I certainly don't.

    Either way, it's all good as long as GR delivers a lot of new content.

    I don't know that we'll be getting much info more than we've already got, on GR at the presentation, but it'll be nice if they do.

    Well, Comic-Con panels are where comic book companies like to make announcements, so why not the devs? *hint hint*

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah. I've been expecting to hear some word about the GR release timeframe. Of course, there's been nothing so far.

    I think it'd be great if they added "Reformed" to villains (ie Reformed Corrupter) and "Fallen" to Heroes (ie Fallen Defender) when you switch sides, and "Rogue" when you straddle the "Gray" line (IE Rogue Mastermind

    That would be kind of cool.

    This isn't even how the EAT flag works. I can get a hero to 50 and delete him and I'll still have access to Kheldians if I want. The continued existence of a level 50 character is in no way a requirement for creating a EAT.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I don't recall it ever working that way.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Lunarknight is correct. If you get to level 50 heroside, you unlock kheldians. If you delete that level 50, you still have access to kheldians. It's apparently a flag on your account, not an issue of checking to see if you currently have a level 50 on the appropriate side.

    The devs have posted this in the past. I'm not going to look it up. If you don't believe me, you'll have to find the reference for yourself.
  20. It should be simplified: getting to 50 on either side should unlock both epic ATs.

    One more thing: GR should include the Incarnate epic AT.
