i dunno, i'm at work between 13-15, can't say it bothers me that much. It's better than current maintenance hours imo.
Care to explain how you think moving it from 8am to 12pm is better? I honestly cant see how it is.
Edit: I understand that 12 - 2 is roughly the time when the AE and WW come down so can understand them thinking that its better to have 1 maintenance instead of 2, just as a player i dont like that its in the middle of my day during my playtime. Selfish of me ? Yes but thats who i am

Pointless post is pointless. We can read the announcements page.
If there was an official discusion thread for it then yes this would be pointless, as it is . . . . . there isnt, so creating a thread to discuss the topic at hand makes this post non useless

Guys, check out the announcement section . . . . . .
Quote:Very harsh for europeansAs a result, as of Monday, September 28th, the regular bi-weekly server maintenance times will be modified and will take place on Mondays and Fridays from 4:00 AM Pacific Time (7:00 AM Eastern Time / 12:00 PM British Time / 13H00 Central European Time) to 6:00 AM Pacific Time (9:00 AM Eastern Time / 2:00 PM British Time / 15H00 Central European Time). 
< < < < < < Think the new times are overall much much worse

If they did make an underwater zone.. What would Fire using characters do?
You mean like how granites dont sink when they swim?

Uh, no, I never mentioned the server we were playing on. I just asked my girlfriend which server name she liked and we ended up on Pinnacle. I'm playing a Energy/Dark corrupter, and she is playing a mind control/earth dominator. We just hit level 5 and 6 respectively last night. My first toon was a robot/pain mastermind, but I didn't feel like learning all the pets commands and such (too much like my lock in WoW) I'm having a blast (no pun intended) with my corrupter though. Was this a bad choice for server? Should we turn back? Re-roll before its too late?
That server is more than ok, no need to reroll so dont worry Unfortunately we are in different server lists though with me on the EU servers so if you do need any help then i can only offer my forum handle. Feel free to PM me if you come across any issues or want some help in some form or another.
Hope you both enjoy your time here and be sure to check out the story arcs. Villainside they get VERY good [or is that evil?].

Two damzs!!!!
Oh wait . . . i cant bust myself! Surely thats illegal?

Ultimate Damz - illusion/rad/fire. Not even anywhere near IO'd out compared to most of my characters, however the playstyle suits me so perfect that it has also become the character that just FEELS unbeatable. None of my characters can even come close to the power it has! Other characters might be better in one or two departments, but this one . . . . is almost perfect in everything
-
Coin! Where ya been? Aint seen you around for aagggeeessss!!!!
Personally i hope this is some kind of resident evil type of event. Enter the mission where the entire zone has been infested with the "zombie virus" and its just ambush after ambush of them! You also get a few temp powers of chainsaw/shotgun
Or the haunted house idea sounded kind of . . . . well awesome!
Hey If this is NEW content storyline wise . . . . . . wouldnt this be the first time we've seen the entire new dev team work after their transaction period of i13 -15 content? No pressure guys and gals

Potentially, that's just a bug where the 'water height' was set below the actual level of the water. You can't change your height/depth at all, so it's really not much different from normal water.
... if we get an underwater zone, it'd probably put everyone in the zone under a group fly effect (with a different animation), and disable access to normal travel powers. At least, that'd be the easiest way to pull off 'underwater' (of course, the animation team'd have to make a ton of animations, and the powers team would need to find some way to keep swimming from crippling powers that only work in contact with the ground...)
Couldnt they just have the swimming animation as it is now? While fighting underwater it could just be the same as flight where you temp stop the swimming animation to fire off your attacks. Some of the moves might look a tad . . . . . stupid . . . . but it'ld be a small sacrifice imo.
Then again, would it be such a big deal if travelling underwater had zero combat and was used just to gain access to the zone? -

Would be a good excuse to reuse that rather nifty submarine base map in Fautline. Reskinned, of course.
Exactly They'ld kill so many birds with one stone by doing it too!
5th column base? check
Actually using the massive space of water in talos? check
Possible underwater zone? check
Fit in with the story? Check
I'ld personally prefer it to be some kind of level 30+ missions though, going through the contacts/arcs between level 15 - 30 and there are actually quite a large variety! Though the realist in me kind of figures that it'ld be 15 - 50 again. -

but being serious....life killing via MMo is in the terms and conditions
Today was my last day before 10 days of work straight, the last chance i had of doing the stuff i SHOULD be doing . . . . . . spent the entire day on here and using my treadmill
At the time it seemed like a good idea but now i think i kind of wasted a day. Though i did find out the awesomeness of chain induction!

Something else I've noticed since the merger too. Avatea now talks to us even LESS than before (if that's even possible).
Seriously, take a look at the community digest. There's been no mod posts of ANY kind in the EU lounge for weeks and weeks... Nada.. Hardly any in the general discussion channel either...
I always thought the EU lounge was for the players just to communicate with eachother, not exactly any threads in here at the moment that reaalllyyy warrant a mod to post i personally think. -

If outdoor ambushes count, I got a jumbo ambush doing Serge's "Defeat 30 Tsoo" mission in Steel Canyon last night. Solo, Level +0, Team Size 2. I got rolled by one Ancestor Spirit, two Sorcerers, and 7 or 8 minions. Suffice to say, this is much larger than any spawn that appears in a normal mission on team size 2.
Exactly same thing happened to me, kind of made me "jump to action" if thats the word.
At the time of that mission my settings were
Level + 0
Team size 2
Bosses Yes -
I personally went fire/dark armour for my "herd them up and nuke them" beast, but dark armour is really one of those sets that require a lot of attention/tweaking.
Though just like most sets, once slotted right it can become unbeatable. Plus dark regeneration is your best friend

There should only be a VERY small handfull of epic badges in the game. Badges that show that the player contributed a large amount of either time or effort to get that achievement.
Now while the old epic badges did reflect this, it also made people have to farm for them since a lot of them was unrealistic to get via normal gameplay.
The master of **** badges are a good addition since they do require a certain level of skill and deserve their epic status.
However imo there are a lot of potential epic badges out there that simply are begging to be added.
- Defeat hamidon badge - might prove unpopular but it shows you've defeated the greatest enemy ingame.
- Master of Silos badge - with that many AVs in the final mission, it deserves a badge of some sort. Though it would be the easiest master of badge to get so in that respect not the best of ideas.
- Master Explorer badge - collect 95%+ of the current exploration badges.
- Stuck in time badge - using ouroboros, do a single arc in each of the level ranges [non badge missions].

This endurance free brawl has been an actual life saver on my elec/fire scrapper so far!
*storytime mode*
At the moment my scrapper is level 18 and doing the pvp missions in bloody bay [i like them] and there has been a LOT of MUs in the mob. Usually they are swatted aside, but pre stamina and with them resistant to my elec attacks, it has been a MAJOR endurance hog!!! My endurance has been going down faster than anything and so many times my attack chain has consisted of "charged brawl . . . . brawl . . . brawl . . . brawl . . . ooo endurance finally! charged brawl".
Now while i wouldnt go as far as slotting it, it has infact proven to be a vital part of my attack chain even as high a level as 18 against those endurance sappers! So thanks for this change, been a major help for my current character and something i didnt really appreciate until now

Uhm, and here I was assuming that you need 4 villains to do something like simultaneously clicking glowies as is needed in some arcs. I only done this one once and had forgotten how it actually worked and when I read the intro on another lowbie I was leveling I was filling in the details.
Right, nothing here. You have not seen me. I was never there. That was not me but Grlnnlng Spade.
Doh, doh, doh.
I go now to a quiet corner and feel very noobish ty.
Can i bust one of my favourite MAnites? Could i? Would it be right?
Damn straight it would!
Spade . . . . . . consider yourself busted

Hi everyone!
I wasn't really sure where else to post this, so I chose this forum. I just started playing CoX a few days ago. My girlfriend told me she wanted to play some type of MMO, and after some research, we settled on this one. (I also play EVE Online, but that isn't for everyone, and I don't want to go back to WoW) We both made villain characters and are having a blast. Wanted to introduce myself to the community.
I'm hoping this game will have enough varied content to keep us occupied for a while, since I know we are coming in 5 years late! So hello to all of you!
Welcome to both the game and the forums If you are playing EU side and need help of any form, please feel free to contact me to @damz.
Also, i think the questions everyone really want to know are . . . .
What server you on and what AT/powers you pick?
Welcome again! Hope you enjoy your stay
