  1. I'll just call it Sewer Trial, less confusion all around. In the rare case that someone confuses it with the ridiculous old Sewer Trial I can just clear it up with them.
  2. I am impressed! That was really good.
  3. I watched it last night and enjoyed it. I will continue to watch it to see where it goes. Not on the same level as Lost but still entertaining.

    With every hero and villain registered in game lore there's plenty of reasons to know someone's name as soon as you look at them: your HUD or police scanner chirps it out, dark spirits whisper the information in your ear, your telepathy picks it up, you've memorized the entire database with your super-genius IQ, every being has a unique cosmic signature that your ability to manipulate energy can read... possibilities are endless.
    Excellent point. Also, since all heroes and villains have to register their names will be available in a database somewhere.
  5. Find a good supergroup works pretty well also.
  6. It also reduces lag to turn them off in large scale events.
  7. Wow. Some of you can seriously overanalyze the smallest things.

    What's more, now that "you get what you pay for," this has enabled me to vote with my money. I no longer have to worry about what someone on the art team feels looks good, because I get what I choose to get. If I want large weapons for women, then I say so. When large weapons for women come out, I WILL pay for it. This gives incentive to the development team to develop what players are asking for, as opposed to what their "vision" dictates people should want.

    "You can get it in any colour, as long as it's black" no longer applies to the game, and if this costs me a few extra dollars a month, that power alone is more than worth it. City of Heroes is still by FAR the cheapest form of entertainment that I know of which is actually entertaining for more than a day, and if I have to pay for it, I will pay for it.
    This is one case I can honestly say I agree with every word written in your post.

    Give the arc creater a selection of "power sets" that are taken from standard mobs. I'd also require that all custom mobs have their power sets be taken from the same villain group ( i.e. all of them have to be taken from Nemesis, for example ).

    While the PLers will still find the optimal combination of powersets to utilize, it wouldnt be anywhere near what you see in AE farms atm.
    This would slow it down some and may be a good idea. I enjoy farming AE from time to time, but if they did something to remove it I would not be all broke up about it. If I do run a arc that is designed to be a farm and I enjoy it, I will give it a 5 star. On the other token, if I run an arc that is filled with walls of text and spend more time reading than clearing a map I will rate it lower.

    I have the opposite experience. Instead of "Old Guard" leaving I see them returning. And not only returning premium, after a day of playing resubscribing. Sounds like your "Old Guard" may need to take a break.
  11. I would like to be able to access the Paragon Market when not in-game.

    Unless we can already do that I am just overlooking something.
  12. My eyes decieving me or did I not see Virtue and Freedom?
  13. I don't think I would play a force field defender, but I sure love the set on controllers and masterminds. Can't really say the same about Time right now.

    Everyone has it. We know we got it going on.

    So I guess it will be exemplared to the lvl of the hero?
    Just speculation.

    I gotta say I was hoping for more spotlight of the hero in question.
    We barely get to see Synapse in the arc... To new players, I dont see them giving a damn about who is dying because we got 0 interaction with the signature hero.
    I was thinking the same. Or perhaps the level of their Task Force.

    I did it solo on my tanker and scrapper and got out on the first run wth both. I did not realize so many were having issues with this.
  17. Wouldn't it had been better to raise all these points during beta testing?

    He is usually on in the evenings (Eastern). You can also look for @Stec online, he can invite as well and is online like 24/7.
  19. I wouldn't rule out Energy Aura. It is not as bad as it once was anymore. I am looking at EA/SJ myself.
