  1. Well done (if this appears multiple times I'm just tired of the forums timing out and droping my posts so I'm trying multiple simultaneous submissions).
  2. I don't think they're going to code a "My Little Pony" bed quilt just for you.

    And last night I actually found some people who didn't know who GG was! True I play on Union, but still...

    Getting Bored ?

    Sadly it's been said that we won't see villain epics until early next year... so probably 2 issues away...
  4. Usually I'll reply, have even gotten compliments on it from people who were sick of not getting responses, might be times where I miss the tell or am in the middle of a big battle and forget about it by the end of the battle and only remember after finishing the mission.
    Often the tells seem to come at the worst times (when I'm mid-mission or getting ready to quit), but even then I'll let the person know and at least wish them good luck. Only polite and friendly and it's not like that typing takes much effort.
  5. She's the one getting all hot under the collar about the restraints on her bed.
  6. Could be flexing muscles, that's still excercise... Don't think I'd find a bed with straps on it kinky, it'd only be if she tried to use them I'd make any conclusions. For all we know the person is prone to sleep walking (or worse sleep disorders).

    If I'm not mistaken one of the villain accolades requires debt badges so this is actually more true than you perhaps intended.
  8. Yeah, it would be ~1.2mil as although there are 7 pillboxes the reset is triggered upon either side getting control of 6, and players of the other side are unlikely to go after captured pillboxes when there are still uncaptured ones since they won't get any inf/drops from captured ones.
  9. Though unless you've a buffer you're probably not going to manage to reset the zone even 3 times in an hour, never mind 4. Damn those heavies are slow...
  10. Lol, I did look for a Mr. Awesome last night but couldn't send them a message when I tried so assumed you weren't on.

    CoX using a Gb or RAM sounds about right, was a time a long way in the past where 512mb of RAM was enough to have on your system and run CoX with minimal settings... alas no-more...

    The player names that are "greyed out" are the ones that are already in a team.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    It's actually amazing the amount of players who don't know about this, often when I'm in a team I'll get others trying to recruit me for their teams (and yes they are already in teams and trying to get me to join)... either that or there's some competitive recruiting going on...

    Anyway, I'll try keep an eye open for you Sisc0, see if I've a suitable toon and can team with you for a bit.
  13. Hmm... at least it would solve both the issue with APPs being so much better than PPPs and also the factor of the number of lv 40+ heroes being a lot more than the number of 40+ villains.
  14. There is a lot more chat than there used to be but I think the main reason for this is the fact that the channel tends to be quiet for such long periods. This week hasn't been too bad any time I've logged in, although admittedly it's nearly all been SFs, not much regarding other badges.
  15. Well was playing a newer toon for part of the night last night and did get a few invites at least, unfortunately the only one that came at a time I wasn't about to quit was one which was to a team where they all stood around and did nothing for ~10mins, only one of them had said that they needed to go AFK, so I ended up quitting after running about for a while (both in and out of the mission).
    Hopefully the next PUG will be better...
  16. Well, having spent many months playing CoV and the last 2 weeks playing "the other game" (sorry I just can't do it, I'm a villain at heart and can't say it )
    I feel that the teaming has been in decline.
    I remember back when I first tried heroes I got plenty of invites on my low level toons, and while leveling my main (CoV) I got plenty of invites too.
    However in recent times even having myself flaged as looking for a team doesn't help. Then Murphy's law always seems to come into play and it's only when I'm in the middle of a mission or I have to quit for lunch/dinner/sleep that I finally get an invite.
    Any time I've tried organise teams in CoV most people aren't bothered joining unless they are low enough level compared to the rest of us that they can be a PL leech in the team.
    I haven't tried organising any teams in CoH as yet as still need to learn my way around the game, but I would hope that people are far more willing to accept invites there since most ATs are either support ATs/too squishy/too low in DPS to solo (playing the hollows frostfire mission as a tank was damned painful it was such slow going) effectively IMO.

    Perhaps the global bug costing so many people so many friends has been part of the problem, I mean why try make more when you can't help but feel that they'll only get deleted on you next time the bug hits. Then there's the question as to if perhaps it's just that many of the more pro-team players have moved on from CoV? The fact of how difficult people seem to find it to organist SF/TFs and respecs would lead me to believe it's perhaps the latter as I do remember a time when they used to be run quite often, sometimes in one game a couple of repecs a day and a few SF/TFs could happen, now the only SF/TFs you get that with is the latest content (at the moment the Statesman SF I believe) which means that what people will eagerly team for seems very much subject to FoTM.
  17. Gratz, hopefully you've another toon already lined up to keep you entertained another month or two (then i10 will have you replaying all your lv50's again).
  18. Proof alcohol doesn't kill brain cells... it actually makes you smarter... sexier... more charismatic... and able to perform amazing feats of agility and dexterity that are impossible when sober... ohh, and a better singer to boot. Isn't alcohol great!



    (well tbh it sucks for those of us who don't partake as you're just left wondering "what are those twits laughing at/on about now")

    Purgatorri

    Yeah, Bru and Max tried to keep them afloat but I think to be honest the rent thing kinda buried them (they were stuck paying obscene amounts each month due to the rent previously being based off the prestige your SG has earned to date). Has anyone been in contact with Dr. outside the game? How's he doing?
  20. Gee, MMs look to be jacks of all trades for Hami...
    Couldn't be there on Saturday so if I'm available for this(life's a bit at the moment so can't & won't definitively say until then) I'll give you a shout in game, if there's a slot there's a slot, if not so be it....
    Either way good luck with it.

    1st Respec Trial

    [ QUOTE ]
    Never needed Shivans for it and only the very first try back in I6 was a little rough (needed two attempts for the vines because we overlooked a CoT spawn)
    Seriously,CoV respecs are not remotely as hard as some people claim.

    I'll gladly join if i have no other obligations.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Now that they fixed the loophole, as I mentioned above, I've been on 3 failed attempts and know of friends who suffered many more, previously it was reasonably easy but time consuming, now I hear players waiting to do the 2nd respec instead since at least then you have more powers and so a better chance of sufficient DPS to succeed.

    1st Respec Trial

    People used to regularly do the 1st Respec trial, for inf/respec or just for fun, but then the devs removed the log-out trick loophole and the failure rate just became too high for most people.
    If you are going to try it I'd suggest everyone bring Shivans.

    This has to be the first time in the history of the world that someone has used the words "Villain" and "Overpowered" in the same sentence without also including the word "not" in there somewhere. Very amusing post.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Yup especially since the Hero Epic PPs are actually considerably more potent than the Patron PPs.

    I'm pleased to say I have absolutely no idea at all what you're talking about.

    Good for you, that film ruined that music "dueling banjos" for me...
