Always happy to see and help new players. Be aware tho that Trial Accounts have some restrictions on them. They were being abused by RMT sites.

Ironblade has a great link in his signature for the Mentors Project which is a group of players that help new people out on any server with learning the game. You'll have to wait until you activate your account before you can join due to the trail account restrictions.

Let's see . . . Another thing you should know is that the current trial accounts let you get a look at what's happening in Praetoria. (The first character you make must be a Praetorian. After you make it tho you can immediately make a hero or villain) That's the new Going Rogue expansion. However if you use an old code to activate your account you won't have access to Praetorian content. You have to buy Going Rogue.

Oh also if you don't know already, the most populated servers are Freedom and Virtue. (Assuming you're making a North American account as opposed to European) Some of the other servers seem very quiet because of the lower populations and the fact that this game is heavily instanced. Meaning most of the time people are inside missions. You won't see them unless they are going to missions, leveling up, using the market. So you might want to think about starting out on a higher pop server and if you decide you prefer a quieter setting create new characters on one of the lower pop servers.

Hope I haven't confused you too much.

Blaster's? I guess . . . but to be honest I thought it would be more fitting as a new Mastermind set.

Henchmen! Form Human Sphere!

Shape of Giant Snake!

Oh thank you! That is a huge help even if I don't understand some of the things they're comparing. Bar graphs for the computer hardware illiterate always rock.

I just watched the movie and I think I'm going nutz. Every so often I understand what they're saying. It's freaky. Most of the time I'm hearing

Boobily boobily jibber jabber I'm sorry sweetheart. Boobily boobily bullet points jibber jabber I love you boobily boobily Hello don't get any ideas. romance jibber jabber.

Pfft! Michael Bay could learn a lot from this movie. It was entertaining even tho I have no idea what was going on.





Maybe that's why his movies suck. He's doing them in English. I'll have to test this theory by seeing copies of his films done in foreign languages to see if that helps make them better.

Not trying to be argumentative but the free transfers only happened twice within the past year because of GR, so they can't really be said to be given out whenever content changes make them desirable.

I wish it were true.

Great idea! That would serve the same purpose as a "quiet room" and on the off chance some rude twit of an SGmate starts acting the fool in the base when you're using the market terminal you can have the satisfaction of booting his punk *** out of the SG.



(I'm basing my comments from the perspective that I'm the ranking officer in all my SG's)

Sorry I misunderstood.

Yes seriously. If there weren't idiots out there willing to do this the RMT sites wouldn't exist.

Here's an example which I saw happen in another MMO. This happened during the games open beta testing before the game launched, and everyone in the beta knew that when the game launched the server was going to be erased and we would all start from scratch with new characters.

Now even in the Open Beta the game already had RMT sites spamming their services. There was a lot of snide remarks and laughter at the idea of anyone being stupid enough to use an RMT site especially when we all knew that the servers were getting erased the day before launch.

Lo and behold one schmuck did it. We know he did because the RMT site stole his forum account and used it to spam the forums and got his account banned. The schmuck was a guy that had been "bragging" on the forums about buying 4 or 5 copies of the game in order to get the best of the different pre-order perks as well as a lifetime subscription.

The copies of the game ran between $50 to $79 bucks from the various retailers and the Lifetime Sub ran $250. So when the schmuck got banned a week before the game launched for using an RMT site he threw away around $600 dollars for a game he never got to play.


Want another example? There's a guy that spent $300,000 dollars to buy a virtual space station in another game. Can't say the name here on the forums but you can google the story and get several articles.



You and I and many others here may have the common sense not to go near RMT sites but that leaves plenty of morons who do.

I was thinking they could just add a room next to the market locations. Say a manhole cover at the BM's that go to an underground "quiet" room redside, and adding a door inside the Wents blueside.

Yes actually they should. All they have to do is add a "quiet room" like the AE buildings have. Then the players that want can choose to do their transactions there and the ignorant louts can go suck eggs in the regular section of the market.

/unsigned.

If this was implemented RMT sites will then be able to sell instant vet accounts to people. Simply "create" a new account and link it to get the vet status and then sell the login and password to some schmuck for hundreds of dollars.

And RMT sites don't care if their "customers" get screwed on the deal. They will most likely already be fraudulently using the morons credit card info.

Furthermore the customers that get screwed on the deals won't be blaming the RMT sites, because that would mean admitting they were doing something stupid and wrong. Instead they'll play the innocent victim and paint CoH as the bad guys which will drive away potential customers.

They already gave us an official explanation.

I'd rather see them do it like the character slots. 1 every 12 active months.

I love Bill's cut and pastes.

This idea has been discussed hundreds of times over the past 6 years and none of the flaws have been resolved.

I would guess by regular invites. With a new system they may even include the ability to send invite to characters offline.

If they are willing to start over then the name should be freed up when the old base is disbanded. That's assuming that the new base system will check the old naming system. They could start over from scratch with a blank template for the new system.

If it's an active coalition reforming shouldn't be a problem

I'd like an option that lets leaders choose if their base will participate or not. Raid bases follow pathing rules and nonraid bases don't.

This assumes that new bases will even need to earn SG Badges. If they do I don't have an answer.

I would assume the Super Leader since according to the devs he/she is the defacto owner.

Pretty much agree with you except I can see some limited crafting and storage. Maybe craft just basic IO's. I can see heros doing minor tweaks and improvements to stuff in the privacy of their secret lair.

As for storage maybe 1 salvage rack or just Vault access, and bins with reduced amounts for Enhancements and Inspirations. Say 10 each max.

TP's? Only to the SG base if they are a member of one.
