In completely random order:

    1.) Fly is too slow, it should be at least as fast as Super Jump or Super Speed, please.



    Thanks for reading.
    OK, as has been explained Numerous times, Fly is the slowest travel power because it's the safest travel power. Also if you Have swift and fly effectively slotted (Someone else can tell what slots need to be where and what ENH to put in them) Fly caps out at around 80 mph. (iirc)

    Now there's a WOPR if I ever heard one
  3. Only good thing about a Spear / Lance Set: Valkyrie could actually use her Signature piece of Gear.
  4. Forgot the most awesome emote ever to add to the game For this Super Booster.

  5. Nice idea in theory, but if it was just a static place that everyone had access to like Pocket D, it could work. Customizing it for each individual player would take too much time and take resources away from stuff the game REALLY needs. If Player apartments are ever implemented this would be a perfect idea for it.

    Secondly, Blasters' primary contributor to survivability is operating as an indirect reduction in damage by reducing the time exposed to danger. In simpler terms, killing stuff is how you survive. Your secondary survivability tool is mez effects, but you've sacrificed that option by going with a pure damage powerset combination. It's not the fault of the AT that you chose a powerset combination that doesn't mitigate incoming damage. I've seen a number of quite hardy blasters that could remain in a fight for quite a long time because of their powerset combination and the incredible control effects that it afforded them.
    My 1st Blaster which I still play, has the Body Armor in the Munitions APP 6 slotted with Aegis, really helps her survivability.

    -If you're really worried about survivability then take the Fighting power pool for Tough and Weave.

    These last ones would be awesome. Pistils with glowmaps... very shiny.
    And if we could custom color the Glowies even better...

    Um That's the whole Reason MS. Liberty Founded Longbow, which was an offshoot of Her mom's Freedom Corps (Which Miss L, still runs from what I understand). She Started the Longbow Special Division to be more Proactive in it's fight against evil instead of Reactive, which she felt Freedom Corps was being. There is some Merit to the Suggestion though and would make a really Cool TF idea, with the former Miss Liberty being the TF contact and sending you through the mission set to counteract Malta's takeover of Longbow. Would be interesting if during the missions if you were to learn that maybe, this time, Malta might have the right idea to make Longbow a bit more "tough" against it's enemies, and you'd actually get to choose whether to restore Ms. Liberty as the head of Longbow, or choose to back Malta's Choice (Who should also be a Woman). Actually have the Leader of the TF have to make a choice on who to back. Might not work with the way missions are coded into the game, but it would be a neat idea to implement.

    It wouldn't effect Ms. Liberty's status as AP's trainer either, since Hero Trainers Don't have a Description Page attached to them, so whether she was still the head of Longbow or not wouldn't be an issue, and would make an interesting Badge reward since you could do the TF again, but could only get 1 of the 2 badges associated with the TF the 1st time you finished it.
  10. That worked for me:

    take CohUpdater.exe, and CityofHeroes.exe out of Compatibility mode, but keep the "Run as Administrator" box Checked. That cleared up my issue. Thanks Guys.
  11. Same Problem slow load, log in, select Character, get loading screen gets between 10 - 25% then either stays there or kicks me back to the log in Screen.

  12. Since there's going to be a new Praetorian Starting area you should be able to Experience all the low level content in Going Rogue as well
  13. I have a Fire / Psi Blaster and the way I reason her use of Fire Powers is that the Fire is a Psychic Manifestation of her ability. The Thugs only think they are being set on Fire. They Drop unconcious because they They Believe they are being set on fire and pass out from the mental Shock.
  14. I recommend :

    Scrapped Princess, if you haven't seen it, it's about a girl who's destined to destroy the world when she reaches a certain age. She's protected by her Brother who's an awesome fighter (and he gets a mega upgrade as the series progresses) and her Sister who's a powerful Magic-User.

    As others have said, RahXephon is really good as well and has the best WTF moment when you figure out what the real deal is between Haruka and Ayato. It's a Giant Robot anime.

    Kimagure Orange Road a love triangle between a guy with psychic powers and the 2 girls who are in love with him. Really a fun series if you can find it. Although the Manga ending is way better than the "I Want To Return To That Day" movie.

    other stuff that's been already mentioned:

    Ghost in the Shell : Stand Alone Complex and Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig
    Ah! My Goddess
    Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato)

    Same here. My level 50 Blaster is a "Master of the Mystic Arts" type so to speak, and she works with my level 50 Controller, who is her eyes and ears to whats going on in Paragon City, while she prepares to combat Mystic threats.
  16. During some of the missions where you fight Nemesis Automatons, Some of them will start asking the others for their TDP reports. Which is from the movie "Office Space".

    alright i gotcha, problem is that the magic store enhancments are only lvl 20s, how can i get lvl 50 enhancements? ima t the westwroth buying place but cant figure out how to buy the enhancements

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Level 50 Single Origin Enhancements are sold by Ghost Falcon at Peregrine Island. You'll have to run a mission for him to unlock his store.

    Everything in City of Heroes can work. It's a matter of finding what is fun thematically and mechanically for you.


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Try playing an Axe/Fire Brute. Even after Stamina at lvl 20 you'll still need End Reducers in your build to be effective.

    I'll never understand Sephiroth fan-girls. Why do chicks like dudes who look like chicks?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Because girls like beautiful things and girls are beautiful. So, if a guy can pull off being as beautiful as they are... oh man, he's gonna get some.



    [/ QUOTE ]

    Not in the least, especially if the guy is as or more pretty than they are. Girls HATE competition. Dante and Sephiroth have the bad boy look that chicks swoon over, that's why.
  21. The fight with Silver Mantis in the Statesman's Task Force is hilarious because of the way you could skew what she says to mean something totally different. Won't repeat it here for obvious reasons, but it's really funny taken out of context.

    this game should lower its monthly fee to $9.99 instead of 14.99 imo. its getting old. its 5yrs old now. any game this old should not be going for 14.99/month still.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Everquest.
    Released 1999.
    Monthly subscription - $14.99

    WoW.
    Relased November 2004.
    Monthly subscription - $14.99.

    Warhammer Online.
    Released last year.
    Montly subscription - $14.99.

    If games OLDER than us don't lower the price below newer games, and games ALMOST as old as us don't - why should we, other than your whining?

    [ QUOTE ]

    if the rate wasn't so high i would keep my subscription going for a longer time. since its so high i will only subscribe for one more month before quiting.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The rate isn't "so high." Pay in larger blocks, and you pay less per month.

    Edit:
    [ QUOTE ]

    Maybe Taco Bell should lower their prices...because, you know....they have been around forever. They have been around so long, they should be giving food away for free!!


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Taco Bell should pay me to take away their "food." Notice I didn't say eat. And it has nothing to do with how old they are. &gt;.&gt;

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Adding:

    Final Fantasy XI, released in 2002: $12.95 a month and $1.00 for each extra character.
  23. As far as Ice Mistral is concerned, I know who she is (Scirocco's Underling) and I've fought her in the Statesman's Task Force, and a Safeguard Mission or 2, but have never encountered her redside. (Highest Villain is 42) Granted I could look it up on ParagonWiki if needed but I haven't had the opportunity to run her Strike Force yet.
  24. A great ending to the Story DR. We get them to stay together and Break up professionally at the same time. Looking forward to Part II.
