i didn't hate that word until the Dev's here used it way TOOO much. Come up with a different word at least, like Not-too-distant-can't-see-it-around-the-horizon-future

This is so freaking awesome.

I'm hoping for...

Rikti invasion
Rularu invasion (where I came in the game, during the invasion! woot!)
ICE PONDS! Winter Lords!
5th vs Council!
HALLOWEENIES!
ZOMMMBIES!

I'd most like to ice skate. Seriously. Under a Rikti warship. With zombies coming out of the ice. Being shot at by 5th.

hehehehehehe.

I love this game.

please leave the two layer capes! after seeing some of the screen shots of other folks, it does look amazing! I'll be picking up the box for me and my wife, and i know we will be trying out the 'layering' of it all at least.

i've been hit by at least one, maybe two one star bandits. up to 7 plays though and back up to 4. hopefully it will stay that way

i'll be getting the new box and pick up this booster now. just missing the good vs. evil pack, maybe i'll grab that for my birthday....

Time to burn that freespec on Obs, just to move some Enhancements around. Put that Numina unique in Health instead

[/ QUOTE ]

aye, going to run through all my guys with a freespec and use it up. always a good time to tweak a build and experiment with something new for a bit and see how it works.

that was awesome!

wow thanks posi!! it takes quite the fortitude to admit that you made a bad decision. i hadn't heard abuot it but glad to hear that you changed your mind, and came forward to tell us the story about it. again, the devs in this game rock and it's one of the reasons i've been here for 4 years+

wow sweet robot.

Bug Description: Friends tab is continually popping up after being closed. It has happened on all my characters since i13. it takes anywhere from immediatly, to 1 or 2 seconds for the friends tab to pop up after i close it. i even tried not touching the keyboard to see if it was an off bind and it was still popping up.

what all this seems to say is that it is going to be HARDER to get certain recipies and that the prices will increase. WHY?

People will hoard merits to get what they want, no more random rolls, thus less supply on the market.(this speaks only to the Trial/TF rewards, not those that drop from random mobs). Those are going to seem to be a lot more rare. and it is going to take me longer to save up merits it seems than to save up the cash to buy something i want on the market. uggg, thinking about it is really turning me off to the system. It doesn't seem like we get many merits, and the rewards are farther off. i don't like grinding

So you are saying 8 ITFs you will make 100mil to buy LoTG? I dont think so, you would have to be luck enough to get a purple on most of those runs to come even close to that.

[/ QUOTE ]

I made slightly over 60 million in one day by doing an ITF, a few missions, and then another ITF. Guess Im gonna log in on live and see if I can get one started now, time to farm before this goes live.

[/ QUOTE ]

bingo! with recipe drops/salvage drops/AND a random recipe at the end of 8 ITF's, i usually make over 100 million. Usually. I don't doubt there are times were i only made 5-8 million.... minimum.

Not to mention Trial recipe drops. a devastation Triple costs at the market 15,000,000(quoting smurphy). Now it costs 275 merits. that's 11 ITF's. I could just have done 2-3 ITF's and made the money to buy it under the old system.

nice, i think folks got the wrong idea about the length of time being logged out but it'll all be straightened out. I like how my altitis will be worth some nifty badges atleast

So to summarize my take on all of this, We get free stuff for being logged out like normal. You don't have to do it consecutively, it will add up from all your normal log-out positions.... It sounds pretty awesome, thanks devs.

i hope this doesn't effect the free-specs that are given out now, but i atleast do appreciate the more options it does give those that havn't earned the veteran reward respecs yet. Though IMO, it's way over priced, $5.99 and even $4.99 would have been a much better price point.

i hope your ncstore doesn't break when everyone goes to buy extra slots on the first day. i'll probably be picking up the wedding pack and GoodvEvil pack for me and my wife before the Ncsoft credit card server breaks from over use :P

As I'll be getting 6 slots when this goes live, I've actually found no need to buy right now. But this is MOST DEFINITELY awesome. Great structure and implementation, and addresses big QoL concerns people had with the character selection/management screen.

With Issues 9-11, and with the teasers for 12, you've really impressed me as a long-time player with your continued dedication to the game's evolution and longetivity.

You make me want to stay. No higher compliment could be paid to a creative team than that. I'll say it again: Well done.

[/ QUOTE ]

coulnd't have said this better myself. Thank you CoX dev team. you guys have definatly earned all the praise you have been receiving lately.

my hats off to the surviving 15. It is quite impressive since there were some awesome issues in 2007 and to have actually stuck through with CoH in that madness. I'm sure it wasn't easy and it makes me all that more dedicated to sticking you the devs and CoH. If i ever run into one of you, you got a nights of free drinks waiting for ya. Thank you.

I'll try to clear things up:

Original Design: 5 Day window to get your Item(s) of Power. You then held it for 25 days, reaping the bonus. Then it disappeared and you would need to re-do the CoP trial to get it.

New Design: 7 day window to get your Item(s) of Power. You then hold it for 21 days, reaping the (now larger) bonus. Then it disappears and you need to re-do the CoP trial to get it.

Original Design: During the 25 (now 21) days you hold the Item, you would be vulnerable to raiding from another Supergroup who would try to steal your IoP in PvP combat. These raids were "scheduled" so that both SGs knew when to have members on to attack/defend.

New Design: During the 21 days you hold the Item, you are not susceptible to losing your Item of Power.

Future Design: During the 21 days you hold the Item, you are susceptible to losing your Item of Power in PvP combat.

Losing your IoP's in PvP combat is an integral part of the design and of bases (otherwise, what good are secure plots and defense items).

[/ QUOTE ]

nice, which means these first incarnations we arn't going to be able to get our IoP's stolen. neat, i like that you are releaseing the trial.
though when you say (now larger) bonus, it also makes me think you increased the IoP percentages to be larger. any truth to this assumption?

gah! i missed another test of this?! what a week to come back from the job :P still sounds like issues, but hopefully they get it fixed soon!

Holy crap, a redname post in the defender forums!

This is...wow! I mean, wow! I can now honestly say that I've seen everything.

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

all i want is being able to use salvage to make enhancements. Not only is it a great idea to get more people into SG mode and salvage, but it solves the infleunce problem people complain about with not being able to buy all the enhancements they want.

[ QUOTE ]

I'd really like this confirmed by a redname. Given that, when this issue was raised, the only comment was "there's a chance it won't be destroyed", I still have my doubts. If it's true...why bother with the add-on that increases the chance that items won't get destroyed?

[/ QUOTE ]

aye what is the point of having something that increases the chance an item won't get destroyed?

AND a redname has never confirmed that you will get your prestige back if an object is destroyed in a real read. Real raids don't even work on test at the moment so don't listen to any players either cause they will just be lying to you or repeating wrong information. The fact is that this is still a mysterious factor that is discouraging people from commiting to base raids.

and as Gadget Don pointed out, since there is an option for a base item that WILL increase the chance your stuff won't get destoryed, it seem preety likely that you will not get a Total refund of prestige on the items.

*speculation time* of course the base chance that something is compeltly destoryed could only be 25%. (75% chance to keep) and the add-on item is 5% increase per add-on. now those arn't bad odds to start with and makes the add-ons very nice to have.

wow no real base pics yet? you all sure are a secrative bunch. i'll just post a picture of a small bit of the SG base.
Teleportation chamber

enjoy and i've been really interested seeing pictures of other bases in both this thread and other ones.
