I would disagree with the OP. Keep the RWZ unlocked.
As far as inviting people to teams for raids, if that lvl 21 (or whatever) asks to be on the team say something like, "you can join but you must listen to what I say/do what I say, if not, I'll drop you from the team" type of thing...(that'd go for all team leaders)...if you see someone leeching and you don't want it (team leader doesn't want it), kick 'em (after a warning to go to the hospital or what have ya). -

I'm thankful for my family and friends

D'oh, totally forgot about this

Well this morning I respec'ed my Fire/Earth Assault Dom. to get rid of the Apoc. enhancements I had in Stone Spears (didn't really 'need' them and the 4 enhancements I had in SS I actually had from drops for various chars of mine) so that I could buy the Absolute Amazement set and other things.
So I respec'ed and then went to Cap to put the enhancements up for bid....one of the ones I put up for bid was the apoc: proc enhancement. Highest bid I saw for it was 500 Mil. That sounded good...so I was typing in (I thought) 460,000,100 mil...I clicked, "sell" and it was sold immediately...for 151 million!
Must have had a brain-fart/brain-to-fingers malfunction...so sad now heh.
To whoever got that....congrats

The old Hamidon was a frikkin' mess. I know people always tout the social aspects, but for me it always sounded like a bunch of 12-year-old telling UR MOM jokes for four hours straight. I'd have turned off my Broadcast if it weren't important to hear the leaders' chat.
And the event itself was absurdly boring if you're not one of the designated few. I brought a Scrapper, so I spent half the time sitting on my hands and half the time lagging out. Literally sitting on my hands. "OK, everyone who doesn't have a hold, just stand back and wait." Yeah, great gaming there.
And with a bazillion people, the lag was epic. Not only did my system grind to a halt even with all the graphics turned down, but the server slowed down, as well. I couldn't see the Hamidon, I couldn't see our effects, I couldn't see more than 20 people (out of 200), powers on a 5-second recharge took a minute to recharge and I essentially spent the last quarter to half of the battle just staring at my combat tab, waiting to see system messages that a power had recharged so I could click it. If there's anything more boring, I don't know what it is.
And to top it all off, not only did people rush out to nuke as many Hamidon Buds as they could (good thing the Hamidon Enhancement were no longer given out by these) but as the raid people stood back in the now empty Hamidon crater, swapping their spoils, someone thought it was very funny to start dragging Monsters into the pit, thus preventing people from trading. And not just a monster or two, mind you. I left after we took down five and had five more coming. I left with most of the raid, in fact.
There was NOTHING about the old raid that I could describe as good. At all.
I was only a part of 1 Hami ready on the Liberty server and wow....it was booooring....a good 50% of the time I was there was just me sitting around doing nothing. And then when everyone was ready to hit hami, again like Samuel, I couldn't see hami, waited 'forever' for my 1 sec powers to recharge, etc....etc....
And yeah the broadcast chatter was mainly "your mom" or other lovely jokes/comments...lots of 'friend' talk...if you didn't know who was who/what not then it was very isolated. -
Well if it's villain-side, you can just go to the Merit NPC and trade in those merits for rare/uncommon arcane/tech salvages and saturate the villy market with rares/uncommons at low prices....that'd be nice...

That...would actually be kind of nice.

Just noticed that when you are at the character selection screen the time for days offline seems to be bugged. All of my chars show 30+ days offline...when I just logged into them.

Okay so my lvl 49 Fire/Earth Assault Dom. just got this mission today and wanted to look 'how to beat it' up...remembered this thread and so here I am.
I just completed this mission...it was really...boring actually. I think I lost 1 generator...never had an issue...I had an issue finding Amanda Vines actually...couldn't find her so I just started to defeat all the mobs I found (even the Nem. Mole Machines :/). After I defeated the last Mole Machine I finally found Amanda in a little corner...defeated the two guarding mobs and the mission completed.
I will say once I entered the mission I used the Reveal power (just in case) then went down the ramp and got to the first generator I saw, defeated the 2 mobs that were there to begin with and I thought I saw ambush text but didn't see anything coming. I waited for a good few minutes but still nothing....
So there was a Mole Machine right next to the generator (close enough) so I was bored and while waiting for any ambushes I defeated that MM. Still nothing so I *shrug* and go defeat Silver Mantis. Still didn't see any ambushes. Finally after hoping/leaping around looking for Amanda, I see 2 Nem. mobs standing around like usual next to a Mole Machine and then I started to attack them; then I noticed there were 2 other Nem. mobs that were actually attacking their own Mole Machine....this was next to the generator that I saved. O_O So that's why the ambushes weren't showing up...they were attacking their MM...which was nice btw (they had it down to 25% health by the time I got to them). Finished them off and the other 2 ambushes that came afterwards, 1 gen. saved.

Quote:That's what I said about the Super Science booster pack (the ability to change body sliders and what not) but I got no (goodOriginally Posted by JDub
The Ninja run looks great and I really like it for the most part. On the other hand, I REALLY hate that something this cool that I've wanted for so long was only made availabe thru a booster pack. I wish this would have been introduced into the game in a new travel pool with three other new powers. It costs waaaay to much endurance to not be able to slot it, and it turns off CJ. The biggest draw back is I want to use it IN battle. I move around alot while fighting and I want to have that style IN battle.
I'll use it, but something as cool as this could have been intoduced to the game alot better than this.) response :/

Subjective Feedback:
I like the new event but some improvements could be made.
I had the "hero/villain zone event" channel in one of my tabs and while opening presents with my villain, I never saw a "Winter Lord GM has spawned" type of message....I got lucky and actually saw him standing around. If there could be a message saying when the GM spawns so that people know to stop opening presents and just look for the GM that'd be great (as well as having the little location meter like there was for the Aspect GM in the Halloween event in the nav bar).
When fighting the Lord Winter, he kept detogg'ling random powers on my char. (EI, Kin/Rad Def. which has 5 toggles running, CJ, Acro, Psy. Armor, Assault and Tactics). I was curious why but from what I read from GF that is supposed to happen.
The only 'bad' thing is that...again it kind of stinks for anyone that wants to do the event but doesn't have 10-20 people that want to help them. On the villain side, I got a team of 4 together (no one else was responding) and we were able to take down the GM in Cap, but didn't scratch the GM in his realm.
I think this game (along with others) would benefit from having the ability to grab an AV/Hero/NPC to help you...kind of like what Guild Wars does...if you need a debuffer, grab Positron (or GW) or what have you...maybe not have the signature characters but...just have some generic'ed named toons/NPCs that you could 'borrow' for x amount of influence or something to help you. *shrugs* that's the only thought I can think of at the moment to help with the low population servers.
Edit: Oh and it really seemed like the presents themselves were a good 90% "naughty"...I only was "nice" like 3 times out of the 10-20 presents I opened. -
*shrugs*
I like the emotes/animations but...just not worth $10 for me. :/ -
I'll try to be there

Question to people here...
How much recharge (bonuses) does one need to get perma-dom? -
Quote:I think once there is a list of arcs that pass the first test, maybe send them (post them) to the forums but the devs then can play them and then vote for 'em.Originally Posted by Dalghryn
Re. The voting process: Unfortunately, public voting can devolve into a popularity contest, either deliberately or accidentally. If one creator is a member of a big SG, for instance, and word gets out about his/her entry, you can get a dozen votes for that creator's arc from people that only vote in that category. Ideally, the voting should be conducted by a committee chosen in advance, however the amount of work necessary would be insane.
...
Public voting is 'nice' and all but...yeah, just a popularity contest more than likely. I know I didn't play any of the arcs at all (haven't touched MA in...uh, after the MA badge fixing)..just voted for BDV's arc because he's an sgmate/friend-in-game same goes for my 2nd place vote of PW's arc.

I'd love for the devs to stop making new zones and revamp some of the other zones in CoH/Paragon. Like Dark Astoria or Boomtown. But the main thing I'd love to see is them make the contacts give their cell # after the 1st or 2nd mission and not after the 2nd story arc is done with. :P
I'd also go through the missions and get rid of redundant repetitive missions, like hunts or 'go talk to' type missions. This means in most/all TFs.
With that 'issue' I'd like to see 2 or so more SFs added redside. -

I had the same issue with BABs. Something was causing me to cap out at 1.4...we're not sure what the culprit is right now, but we're aware that something is inconsistent with the way Walk currently works.
I just logged in and tested the walk animation/power with 2 characters. My first one I tested with was my main (Energizing Ion, Kinetics/Rad. Blast Defender) and he was capped at 1.79 walking speed as well.
The second character I tried it with was my Willpower/Ice Melee Tanker (Luthien), she was not capped at 1.79, but at the 3.09. -
Looked 'normal' to me...then again I play on the lowest graphical settings all the time
-
I know you have a MM but just wanted to chime in with saying that when I was lvl'ing up my main char. (Kin/Rad Def.) I didn't get a travel power because Siphon Speed + IR was all I needed (granted Siphon Speed had that lovely bug where if you used SS on a low/gray-conned mob it'd make you run faster than if you used SS on a white/anything-higher conned mob)....but still..it was nice.
I know one of my sgmates (who isn't playing anymore) had quite a few characters that didn't have travel powers...this was back in the 'old days' when there were no temps...although his SR scrapper wasn't bad he said because of the Swift+Sprint+Quickness+Elude.
Anyways.... -
