No the Munki's assumptions are spot on, it's just the way he phrased his post that seems a little confusing.

Freedom does have a lot of good players but unfortunately people remember their bad experiences more vividly. The ignorant people are the ones who have never even played on Freedom and still go out of their way to bash it based solely on stories they heard from other people.

For example, if you listened to some of the stories about Virtue you'd think you can't go 5 seconds without someone with a furry character propositioning you for erotic role playing.

Yeah, I heard that but the pessimist in me keeps whispering "believe it when you see it.", so just to be safe I made a list of who goes first.


I got 12 characters I'm determined to move off of Virtue on my main account and another half dozen on my second. They'll be the core of new SG's on the other servers.

Freedom's going to be my retirement server where I'll transfer the crap I don't play anymore but don't want to delete.

Why would he listen to what was said during those 6 years of debate. He has a life outside of the game/forums! We apparently don't have lives, so our opinions can easily be dismissed.

This experience seems to vary from player to player. I still have to /hide when I want to solo and still get PM's from people who have seen me traveling in the zone between missions.

Even when I'm not on Virtue I can always find a team forming amongst the global channels and across the servers. Ya just gotta be willing to go where they want to play.

They didn't do anything stupid as a species. Diana's interspecies breeding that led to the discovery of the Red Death was a personal experiment. Her individual acts don't make the entire race stupid.

I'm sorry Marcian. I saw others suggesting the same species as the dumbest and assumed it was okay if I agreed that I thought humans are the dumbest.

Oh, and out of curiosity, what makes you think I was joking? Our track record of all we've accomplished on this planet isn't that inspiring.

Good point. I forgot about that.


NOTE: We do not have a European support number. You must dial your country's International Access Code in order to call support from outside the United States.

Yes I remember that thread and I participated in it. And as I said above there's a huge difference between the devs saying "We can't merge the markets now for this reason, blah blah blah." and "No. We will never merge the markets."

This

is not a statement saying they will never merge the markets.

Personally I think they had the epiphany that if they allowed players to transfer inf/attachments via email all the problems their "economic forecasts" predicted went up in smoke.



Edit. NVM you acknowledged that they never said they would never merge the markets. That was the only thing I was arguing about.

No. All it proves is that Gotham isn't in Texas. Texans would have executed the Joker years ago.

Nothing I can do to stop the devs from changing their minds except tell them I support the current naming setup. I'm not going to quit in a nerdrage if it were to happen.

And to be honest I'm not worried about losing any of my characters uniqueness because even after 6 years I can count the number of times I didn't get my first choice for a name on one hand.

If in the future the devs change their minds and decide to do away with unique naming I hope they have the sense to make whatever moniker they use invisible to the players. We already have tools that let us spot different players, like the color name feature in the chat box. So if we saw this . . .

EvilGeko: Blah blah blah.
EvilGeko: Blah?
EvilGeko: Blah blah ;P.

It's obvious that they are three different players.

So there's reason we should ever see EvilGeko@thisnamelooksstupid.




Oh and I'd just like to point out that the devs never changed their minds on merging the markets. They always said it was something they would like to do but had reasons for not doing it. We just didn't agree with their reasons for delaying it.

There are very few things they have flat out said would never happen and to date they have not changed their minds on any of them.

There is a huge world of difference between the devs saying things like "We'd like to but can't right now", "It would take a lot of time and resources that we don't have right now", or "We're looking into it" and "No."

Asked and answered previously in this thread and in every other thread dealing with the naming issue.

Yep. What's mine is mine, and you can't have it. I love the devs for not compromising on this issue. Deal with it.

A speedy response on a Thursday, when most of the players are at work, or in school. Good luck with that. I hope there is someone online who has that knowledge that can help you.

They aren't FORCED to be unique, just to have a unique name. If they want to join an organisation in game they can join a SUPERGROUP, where they can all wear the SAME UNIFORMS. And if they play enough as a group people will start calling them by their SG name just like people do to the Taxibots. You don't see people asking for Taxibot Jorge. Instead they just ask for the Taxibots.


Sometimes they even sing.

Oh where, or where has the Taxibot gone . . .
Oh where, oh where can he be?
I need a teleport from one end of the zone to the other.
Oh where can the Taxibot be . . .

And the Universe is vastly larger and more heavily populated than this one tiny little planet in the outer spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. Which means there are uncounted duodecillions who have never encountered more than one Green Lantern and don't know more than one even exists.


Besides Green Lantern isn't even a super hero name. It's a job title they get when they join the law enforcement agency known as the Green Lantern Corps. They get called "green lantern" just like guys that join the police get called "officer".

That's your example?

An organization that only has 7200 members who are scattered across the known universe so far apart that most beings who are aware of their existence, only know of one.

The fact that there are a few examples where more than one Green Lantern is assigned to more dangerous sectors of space only spreads the remaining GL's further apart and makes it more likely that the remaining lifeforms will only know of one particular green Lantern

First off, the mods just made a big deal about what is allowed to be discussed on the forums and deleted a ton of threads.

8. Compare/Contrast and Off-topic threads.

All of these forums fall under the general topic of City of Heroes. However, we do allow a wider variety of discussion topics in the Comic and Hero/Villain Culture forum and on the server forums. We encourage non disruptive off topic discussion in those forums along the line that fits with the community of posters who frequent them. Political, religious, the aesthetics of the human form (particularly that of models, actors or actresses), real world topics or any videogame (aside from City of Heroes) topics are not allowed. Also, please do not compare or contrast City of Heroes to any other game or product, as that is a violation of this rule and is not allowed.


Second if you decide to tempt fate and make compare/contrast posts at least have the courtesy to use a game that isn't a colossal failure. Pointing out a bad idea used by a bad game isn't going to win anyone over to your point of view.

What you guys never heard of Beer-Nuts?



They give you free nuts for drinking beer! It's a win/win scenario.

Speaking as someone who has misread something that was posted on more than one occasion myself , I ask you how often do we see a post where something has been taken totally out of context from what the original poster was trying to say?

Of course there is the possibility that my recent experiences reading the STO forums have colored my perceptions on how easily people read things the wrong way.

But I do thank you for taking the time to respond in further detail.

It doesn't matter if you knew what he meant. It's the brand new players that will be the ones that don't know what he meant. Some of them may not be interested in the GR edition but did see something they liked in one of the older editions. But after reading his inaccurate post could decide not to buy the game at all because what Judas said makes it sound like CoH is trying to run a scam on new people buying older editions.

You go to the Market and check to see how much the base salvage you have is selling for. There are people out there collecting it just so they can say they have a complete set, and some of the items sell for millions.

Whatever is left over take to your Invention Crafting table and select convert to turn it into Brainstorms. The Brainstorms can then be converted into random IO Salvage

Random Conversion:

10 for a 'Tech Uncommon Salvage'
40 for a 'Tech Rare Salvage'
2 for a 'Tech Common Salvage'
10 for a 'Arcance Uncommon Salvage'
40 for a 'Arcane Rare Salvage'
2 for a 'Arcane Common Salvage'
1 for a 'All Common Salvage'
5 for a 'All Uncommon Salvage'
20 for a 'All Rare Salvage'


To create a teleporter you need the basic worktable/forge. The table/forge has 3 different "recipes" to choose from. Each recipe requires different salvage.

Basic Worktable (Tech version), Basic Forge (Arcane version)

Tech version:

1 Computer Virus 1 Polycarbon 1 Luck Charm
OR
1 Circuit Board 1 Steel 1 Rune
OR
1 Temporal Analyzer 1 Titanium Shard 1 Fortune


Arcane version:

1 Clockwork Winder 1 Temporal Sands 1 Simple Chemical
OR
1 Alchemical Silver 1 Symbol 1 Inert Gas
OR
1 Ruby 1 Destiny 1 Silver

Once crafted it costs 15,000 prestige to place the teleporter in your base.
