  1. I've been leveling an awesome fire/electric/fire blaster (blapper). Now that's two damage sets! AOEs and lots of single targets. Most fun I've had in awhile.
  2. I was going to say "Elite" but "Freem" is just the best.

    While fighting Maelstrom during some missions, he's whipped out some Martial Arts moves on me. That makes me hopeful that a MA secondary is on the horizon. He is a Dual Pistols, Blaster right?

    Movie vs. Comic

    I experienced something strange the other day. I saw my Watchman TPB and had the urge to read it. I re-read many of my favorite series' every so often. Annually or so for many of them. So, nothing strange there, but this time a thought came to me; "I guess I could just watch the movie." The Watchman movie was very close to the comic visually, and even cut out all the pirate stuff that I find annoying and have skipped over the last couple of times of re-reading it. Anyway, I found myself torn, but since I don't own the movie the choice was to actually read it. I know that most films aren't direct adaptations of set storylines, but as more and more films are made, could they be? Will the same book vs. movie thoughts be relevant with comics vs. movie? So, since I'm poor and don't own the movie, comic won this time, but will it the next time?
  5. The first one was good, but all the others were horrible. If they could do something good with the characters, why not make another?
  6. I'm fine with Chris Evans. I've usually found him to be entertaining in most of the movies I've seen him in. I totally understand him not wanting to be in "every" comic book movie though. And the pressure of headlining an iconic character movie is totally understandable. I'm glad he accepted; I hadn't seen that trailer on that page before. The Tool music really made it all exciting along with lots of unseen action shots than in the previous ones. I'm getting excited about Captain America now.

    That will be the litmus test. I didn't study it, but the JLA shot with Wonder Woman seemed to be sufficiently busty.

    I agree. I'm sure in a few years they will go back to the old numbering like Marvel.

    I think that's an awesome idea. Also, a pirate era Sharkhead Island or another of the Rogue Islands.
  10. I'll be trying out some of the EU servers because I tend to play during "off" times here in the states. I used to play regularly with a group of people from the UK, Australia, and New Zealand but they went to the EU servers years ago. Oh well. I welcome EU people to Virtue and look forward to seeing you on the EU servers.
  11. You can try The American Legion. Well established SG with an active coalition. You will start out in The American Legion Academy, but get advanced to the main group eventually. You can apply for membership here: http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.asp...7&TabID=900123
  12. I like it. Someone should start a page like that for CoH players. I might contribute.
  13. Is there any possible way to use a different fire sword other than the Fire Scimitar or the Greater Fire Sword? I hate how they both look. I'd love to use the fire katana that the Oni Mastermind pet uses, or I'd love to try anything other than the fire swords available.
  14. This (old) issue of Incredible Hulk. I'm posting the link to it because I actually own this backissue: http://www.dcindexes.com/marvel/comi...?comicid=46457

    This Has To Stop

    Nice rant. CoX eats up a lot of my free time as well. I should be taking courses online in my spare time, but I just love hitting/throwing/shooting/burning/smashing/destroying, and blowing stuff up with fireballs! If CoX weren't so awesome I'd probably be a Doctor or something by now......or I'd just watch more TV.

    I refuse to do any more of the trials until they fix this lag problem. Does that mean all my 50s will be behind others with no further Incarnate powers? Yeah, but I'm not going to let that force me to grind on those lagfests and have 0 fun in the process. I'm just saying "NO!" to laggy trials.

    Victory IS down.

    VERY upsetting for me. I moved the majority of my 50 toons from Freedom to Victory during the free server transfers. I have 50s and other toons on Virtue and I still have a ton of them on Freedom, but Victory is my main "home" on CoH and it's very frustrating to not be able to play when I have a little free time.

    Victory IS down.

    It's happening to me right now. I can view my characters on other servers, I only tried the other two that I have toons on, but when I try to get on the Victory server, it freezes for a minute and then returns me to the login screen.

    Just checked the server status: Victory is the only one that's "Down".

    That's cool, I guess I just play at odd times then. A lot of the time when I log on, Freedom and Virtue are at three dots as well as several of the others being at two dots. And Victory and maybe Justice will be sitting at one dot.

    As well as Victory being down for awhile the other day, I have had problems getting it to load. Meaning that I select the server and the screen just sits there without moving for several minutes. Sometimes it goes ahead to the character select but other times it returns me to the login screen. What's up with the Victory server?

  22. I feel useless in the trials because of this. I lag and totally miss the target and waste a shot on many of my powers. Drives me crazy...

    And, yes, I was on a failed BAF due to the prisoners and I was having difficulty getting any of my powers to activate to kill or slow them down.

    I just want to punch the computer on the trials....
