Thanks Chad for all of this insight. I'm excited most that they are boosting our memory storage which as you said, should alleviate the problem. Actually, I've been working on a story that I don't want to share at this moment but it would probably take at least 8-10 missions to give it justice. The rest would be as you said a place to show off my creations and beat the stuffing out of them. I also want to make each mission progessively more difficult to accomplish. The last arc would only be for the heartiest of heroes/villains. You said that news came out of HeroCon but did they say when it would be implemented? My guess is either as part of Rogue or more likely at some later date but like I said that's just a guess.

I have an idea that I think the devs may be willing to implement that would give us more room for custom characters in AE. I want to build the ultimate story arc using all three of my slots. The idea I have in mind would take much more memory than is currently allotted to each player. That is, it would take much more memory the way that said memory is currently allotted to the players. What if custom characters that are used in more than one story arc slot are only charged to the first arc slot that they were used in? In successive arcs they would be treated just like CoH created characters because they are already stored on the servers. That way each story arc slot could add upon the previous one's base. By the time you arrived at the 3rd arc slot it could be jam-packed with all sorts of original characters. It wouldn't take up any more room than is already allotted to the player. It would just require a new way of storing that memory. Another way that this could be achieved is to allow us a certain amount of memory to create these characters that is separate from the arcs themselves.

Are you guys crazy? If anything they should merge some of the servers so that it's easier to get people involved in things like Rikti Mothership and Hami raids. I'd rather apply the wait and see option until after Rogue comes out though. Maybe it will draw enough people back to the game.

I'm just getting ready to login but late last night I was on the ITF and literally seconds from completing it when I got the mapserver notice. I was unable to log back in. It looked as if virtue, freedom, and 2 other servers had crashed. I still have an open petition related to it.

P.S. A patch is downloading as I type this.

I'm a little surprised at the OP it was my understanding that Paragon City is supposed to be somewhere near Rhode Island. Is that just the backstory for those of in the USA and they put it somewhere else for each country?

Hey guys,
Our numbers have been dwindling over the last couple of weeks so please tell your friends about us. I'd love to have at least one full team this Sat. If we can't do it in-VG we can always add a few pugs but I'd prefer that we build up the ranks. The level cap will go up to 25 on Sat. too. I'm planning on doing the Virgil Tarikoss SF (Bat'Zul and Infernal). If you guys want to suggest an event by all means do so. I'd like to have something planned ahead of time for each playtime.

I will not be able to make this Sat.'s playtime. I have to go to a funeral. I will see all of you guys on Monday. Happy Halloween.

FINALLY!! Well I finally found Jack for Sourpuss. and it only took about 30-45 minutes this time. Now I only have 25 other toons to find him for.

Okay, I've spent literally hours upon hours looking for this guy on the Freedom server mostly in Shark Head but also in Nerva and GV. On Sunday alone I spent over 6 hours looking for him. I have been on multiple teams and we have scoured those zones until my eyes went blurry from staring at the monitor. Still no sign of Jack, only Eochai. How is it that a character that has a 1 in 10 chance of showing has not popped his head out once in hundreds of kills? (We killed Eochai every time we saw him).

Heya guys,
The cap is still lvl 10 but I'm gonna raise it this Sat. to lvl 15. Let's do some ghost busting and go for the pirate and spectral badges. If you have any ideas for events feel free to post them here.

Hey Steele which one is you in the snapshot? I'm guessing Agent Manitoba? I'm Mechallo and he's bots/therm rad, not exactly bots/fire but close enough. Looking forward to having you join us Brophog send me a tell Monday night and I'll invite you. My global is in my sig.

Day 1 was a great success. We all had a blast playing our new toons. We were small but fierce *pun intended* Here's a snapshot from our first day. I'm hoping for a larger turnout on Monday. There's still room if anyone else wants to join. The level cap is 10 until at least next Saturday.

I'm such a SF/TF freak Maybe this should have been named the Mega-Black task force. I don't wanna be the Lone Stranger on this thread. Anyone else feel free to post here too WOOT!! 100 posts!! It only took me 5 years lol.

Just wanna remind everyone that this starts in two days, this Saturday at 2pm est. For more details read my other posts.

Welcome to the game. If you are really into story arcs then you should know that you can turn xp off under the general tab in options. This allows you to avoid outleveling your contacts. Once you reach level 25 you can always use the Ouroborous portal to run some of your arcs in flashback. You should also check out Task Forces for Heroes and Strike Forces for Villains.

Here's a spot to post pics of your Task Force and Strike Force teams. These shots were taken earlier tonight during and after the Synapse Task Force which we ran on Freedom. It took us 2:45 to finish. Both shots are thumbnails. Click them to see the full version.





Took these shots today for Sister Psyche Task Force on Virtue:

I usually try to form my own teams but I have two strategies that work well for me. Firstly, when forming my own team I search for the level range and/or AT that I'm looking for then I type something like "/t $target, Level 24ish team lfm wanna join us?" That way I can just keep highlighting each person from the list and re-use the same tell. You could also personalize it by adding Hey $name to the beginning. When I don't feel like building a team then do I the opposite I perform the same search but instead of looking for blue names I look for gray and just send them a tell i.e. "Hi, I'm a level 24 corr. mind if I join you guys?"
