Hmm. Well, now we know who came up with the idea of trashing Galaxy City!
Isolator! ISOLATOR!

A work around is just 1) grabbing Nova to use for fly or 2) grabbing Nova and using it the form for fly and missions.

Quote:I chat in team chat while solo all the time. Usually when I first log on to a character, it will say the 'you are not on a team' thing if I type anything in team chat, but after a while it opens up even though I'm still solo. Always figured it was a bug.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
However, whether you're on a team or not is pretty easy to tell - can you chat in the Team channel? If not, you are not on a team. If you can, you ARE on a team, even if you're the only person in it.
Edit: further reading = ah hah! Okay. -
The four arcs in Dark Astoria. Such an awesome story! All the fighting (and not fighting!) against hordes of BP - and the Fossil Shades (love those zombie smilodons and dire wolves, but those darned zombie trilobites - yikes, easily the creepiest things in the game) - and then at the end, when we're re-enacting the Last Stand in the warehouse, and just when it seems like we're about to win the day... that one little thing... oh, it's heartbreaking.
And then when it turns out it's that same one little thing that enables us to try again in the Awakening TF...
<SPOILER ALERT!!>
<SPOILER ALERT!!>
<SPOILER ALERT!!>
...and gives us exactly what we need to make it all work out. When the fog lifts and the sun shines down on Moth Cemetery... and the people in the streets look up... that's one cutscene I'll never skip!
Unmatched brilliance! No other mission/quest/whatever in any other game even comes close! -
Quote:No, thanks. What else ya got?Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Although, by the time we have the first 10 slots open, we should have about as many Trials as we have level 50 Tfs, so there'll be a shift away from the 50 TFs to the Trials as the main team activity for 50s.

Quote:My first character was a troller - grav/kin, I believe. I was trying to recreate a magic-using superhero character I'd made up back in the early 80s, but it didn't really work out and it wasn't long before I deleted him. My first four or five heroes were all attempts at recreating similar characters. Only three of these remain in game, one of which - an energy/energy blaster - was my first 50. Unfortunately, this character is on a server I rarely frequent these days, so she's pretty much retired.Originally Posted by Legree
So what was the first character you ever made in CoH, and do you still play them?

This strawman keeps being bandied about despite being chewed up, soaked in gasoline, set ablaze, and chopped in half. Then buried, spit upon, nested on top of by wild geese, then dug up again, slapped around, tossed in a swamp, sunken, hauled out by a rusty winch, then stepped on with stilettos, followed by one last kick from a South American football player.

So...
Last night I dreamed some Vulcan scientists showed me a top secret recording they'd obtained of someone/something creating some sort of greenish substance which was subsequently introduced into an 'Alien' egg so that the substance would become a part of the creature's blood. Then the big reveal: the greenish substance was kryptonite! And a number of these kryptonite-infused Alien eggs were either on their way or had already been delivered to Earth. The intent was for a kryptonite-infused facehugger to implant a kryptonite-infused Alien embryo in Superman. Or, failing that, for an adult Alien with kryptonite in its blood to kill him.
When I left the conference room, Power Girl was outside, demanding to know what was happening. Shortly thereafter (and at some other location), Spock (as he appeared in the original series) was giving a briefing to a group of superheroes about what was going on and seemed surprised that I already knew about the kryptonite eggs. There was something else going on as well - either those responsible for the eggs had come up with a way to make people forget they'd been implanted with an Alien embryo or there was at least partial body-snatching and/or mind control going on, as one of the warnings given was "The people you know may not be fully themselves."
So anyway, ever have dreams like that? And could a kryptonite-infused facehugger implant a kryptonite-infused Alien embryo in Superman? -
Quote:I don't have any existing characters who would switch to Titanic Weapons. I might, however, make a new character who would use them. What I would like most is a Smiley Blast power set with disc-shaped Frisbee-sized explosive smileys we could hurl at our foes, with different effects based on the type of smiley. This, for instance, would be a Stun Smiley:Originally Posted by Golden Girl

When I'm running solo I like to do story arcs, scanner missions, and tips. On some characters I'll happily while away a couple of hours collecting badges.
When teaming (almost always with the same guys) we do story arcs, scanner missions, tips, and TF/SFs. And sometimes the older (non-incarnate) Trials, or, more rarely, some AE missions. When teaming, for me anyway, the team is more important/fun than the content.
I haven't done a Hami raid in years. It's also been a while since I did a Mothership raid, but I'm more likely to jump in on one of those than a Hami raid.
Haven't done an Incarnate Trial yet, in part because I'm just not too keen on the Incarnate System - it clashes with my altitis - and also because they really don't sound like much fun. I'm sure sooner or later I'll get in on one.
Oh yeah - haven't done any PVP since I13.

It's also important to remember that there's going to be an influx of new players this year, and a lot of them will have certain expectations about what an MMO endgame system should be like.

Yes - it's selecting an option from a choice of several, and then using it at the right time
"Until then you will throw more dots. Throw more dots. More dots, more dots. Come on, more dots. K, stop dots."
Maybe someday CoH/V will have cool raid wipe videos like that... -
Quote:I got one of those a few days ago while running regular missions with a full team. Had never seen it before and (knock wood) haven't seen it since.Originally Posted by Dollymistress
The first is the "out of memory crash" where a pigg file can't be assigned a place in memory. I get this in about 1 in 5 Lambda runs. Never in BAF. Very rarely anywhere else. The game freezes, I get sent to desktop and there is no error window for submitting a report.
