Most of the population is not out in the world. City utilizes instancing very heavily, so the game world does not have the hordes of people running around kill-stealing and camping and such that a lot of other games suffer from.
The subscription numbers hover around 130k, give or take 10k, and that is extremely healthy for a fairly 'niche' MMO.
Ironically the game used to be buzzing with outside baddie hunting, but that was way way back when the game came out. The bonus rewards on mission completion were so low and combined with travel time made door missions unattractive. They dramatically increased the completion bonuses, nerfed the level-50-PLing-level-1-using-outside-hunts exploits and viola door missions increased and the outside huntin activity descreased. -
I'm an Invention Salvage horder. My Vault is full, my character inventory is full, my WW slots are full, and I have 8 storage bins full of Invention salvage. I have the storage vault item placed on the wall in my base so I don't need to actually go to the building in a zone, just my base.

When the heck is the winter event going to be activated? Tuesday is the typical release date, so I'm hoping tomorrow.

Wolf Paw (Blaster) - 50 Fire/Devices. See ya there.

Quote:My particular numbers and buffs are just pulled out of a hat to illustrate the concept. Do you understand what the concept is I'm describing?Originally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
And why would a 1% tohit buff for 5 seconds be in any way noticeable, much less useful?
-
I was thinking about power synergies being something fun to add to the game. For example if you use a melee power within 2 seconds after you using a PBoE power with a damage component you, or maybe the team, subsequently get a 1% ToHit buff to all your/their powers for 5 seconds. The synergies would have to be very specific to prevent over power and my numbers are just pulled out of a hat. We have synergies in a very limited and not exciting way with Defiance, Gauntlet, etc. Real power synergies add a much more interesting dimension. The possibilites for different synergies are quite expansive.

Quote:I've been thinking about this with regard to my invention sets on which I've spent 10s of millions and would like this as well. My current build is almost completely sets, expensive, higher end sets. I want to do a dramatic respec of which many of the sets just don't apply to the powers and won't fit into 10 inventory slots. The only other choice I have is to do a staggered rebuild using two respec's which sucks.Originally Posted by MLEdelen
There has to be a way for the devs to make it where we can keep the extra enhancements we spent influ on and sell them on wentworths for a chance at getting our influ back after we respec. I mean, only being able to save 10 enh to sell our of some of us 20-30? Lets find a way to keep them and put the used enhancements back in the market instead of letting them just disappear.

Thanks the Abandoned Sewer plaque got me the badge -- Academic. I had been searching the badge sites for the word 'Nemesis' badge since in my character's badge listing called it the History of "Nemesis".
Thanks -
It's not even ilisted n paragonwiki.com. I'm already showing having 2 of 3.
-
I'm trying to get the History of Nemesis badge. Badge-hunter.com doesn't have it listed and I can't find it on google doing a search. I think it was added in i15. Do you know of any other city of heroes badge sights.
-
Servers are going down for some reason.
-
Another thing to keep in mind just as an FYI. If you have no target selected "Ranged" attacks will automatically jump to target the nearest baddie when you click the powers fire button. I personally find this particular feature quite nice.
-
Enhancements operate under a diminishing return formula. The rule of thumb is only place 3 SOs worth of enhancement, anything beyond that is essentially useless. The DEVs labelled this Enhancement Diversification. Set bonuses are not subject to ED, so they apply face value to your powers.
-
Also there are often big delays between when you drop something in a slot, or post it, buy or whatever so careful. Wait a couple seconds.

Now, Kid usually runs Villain Hami Raids.
So, is this Hero or Villain, Kid? -
Are there any organized, regular Hami raids on Protector. I've yet to find any Hami raids since the big Hami redesign many moons ago.

I just noticed that there is now an Arena choice in my Menu. In which Issue was it added there? Further I discovered that I can use it to create, coordinate or join events at anytime from any place in the city. Better still it will from anywhere in the city automatically TP me to the match when it starts! (likely not from inside missions) This overcomes one of the main reasons I and I suspect some other PvP'ers didn't Arena much, which was having to slog over to an cavernously empty Arena building to coordinate, join matches and then hang out there twiddling my thumbs until match starts. Now I can just set it and forget it, kinda. I'm not sure why this feature wasn't played up by the Devs in whatever Issue it was added. I'm going to start my own little marketing campaign to raise awareness of this feature.

Quote:I've really missed the frozen lakes/ice skating that were in the original Winter Event also. It gave the rest of the city a nice Winter feel.Originally Posted by Useless_Fiend
I enjoyed it a lot and have some thoughts.
1) Lord Winter is too similar to Winter Lord, maybe Winter King or King Winter instead.
2) The Knocking off of toggles by the Lord Winter. It's not clear enough that he's doing it. Several of us thought there was a bug causing it at first. Unfortunately I don't really know of any way to make it clear without making it possibly too obvious.
3) Small Bug: the Lord/Lady of Winter badge seems to be confused as to the gender of its recipients sometimes. My female character Mercurial Talon got the Lord of Winter badge and I was going to suggest making it gender specific with a Lady of Winter version until I saw that all the other female characters who were wearing it already had that.
4) I miss the frozen waterways that we had in the original winter event.
Otherwise, it was a blast. I look forward to beating up giant snowmen a lot. -
Quote:Everyday few days or so I go there and jump around the Gulch for about 15 minutes to pick off as many as I can. I usually come across about 5 or 6. I don't have a PBAoE or TAoE so I can't make the sand fires spawn igneous. And being lvl 50 they of course don't trigger.Originally Posted by NordBlast
My impression was, that it is much easier to get Igneous bosses after The Hollows remake than it was before, even on level 50 without PBAoE. But I haven't done it in a long time.
I tried the changing challenge lvl to 8 team size but that had no affect on the spawns. -
I want to solo and get as many bosses as possible, BUTwith as little baddie level increase as possible AND as small a mob spawn as possible.
The reason is that I'm trying to get the Igneous Bosses badge so I'm doing the Hollows Julious TF from the Oral Portal. Igneous bosses since the remake of the Hollows spawn practically nil there now so the badge is very hard to get.
Thanks -
I've noticed that when baddies get stunned, they now use the walk animation and not the disorient animation. No biggie but definitely looks wrong.

I have my game set at maximum resolution, 1600 x 1200, roughly off the top of my head. The mouse cursor is very small at this resolutions and easy to lose in the onscreen frenzy of battle. Is there a command line parameter or something to increase cursor size. There is nothing in Options, and Control Panel cursor size has no affect on in-game cursor size.

Quote:Us folks heavy into doing demorecords are forever grateful for this addition !
walk power - all characters will now have access to a new inherent power -- walk! This toggle power enables characters to move at a comfortable walking pace. -
I didn't realize my post would elicit such emotion. Very interesting points on both side. I suppose a persons opinion depends upon their particular experience with hibernators. I'm a fire/devices blaster. I always toss down a caltrop and trip mine while they're in hiber. They almost always have SS so caltrops doesn't slow them down. And they are out of the blast radius before the trip mine triggers. Webnade is helpful to some degree but you have to time if very carefully or you get the "unaffected", and they are gone before it recharges for a second use. eep, have to run...seeing movie.
