I suck at it, but have nothing against PvP.

I'm sure the devs would love to make 10 more levels of content, so that people could complete it in a week and complain that they can't get to level 70 now.

edit: don't get me wrong, I would love more content at 50 especially, but I don't think just adding 10 more levels would really solve any problems, just delay them.

The Ram is packed during Gen Con. Really packed. Try Rock Bottom or another place. BTW, the Ram has a part where the under 21 can eat and so does Rock Bottom. Please not Friday night too. I have dinner with the head of Gen Con and other guests.

[/ QUOTE ]

pretty much all of downtown is packed during GenCon.

there's the Rathskeller and their beirgarten up there near the Murat at the corner of Michigan and Massachusetts, but I don't know if they restrict the beirgarten to 21 and up or not. it's a nice large outdoor area, though, pretty well suited for a large get-together.

[ QUOTE ]
Yes.

Edit: Even though I am really, really bad at it.

[/ QUOTE ]

ditto. to both.

ah, as I just said in another thread on this subject, I'm really tired of facing down Snaptooth.

I understand why the event from last year was re-used, but It would be nice to see a new threat in the next event. enough of that annoying Red-cap!

NOT ORANBEGA AGAIN...FOR THE LOVE OF...AHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[/ QUOTE ]



I saw that.. grr

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm.. how many times have I run the Oranbega map? Over 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the love of the baby Jesus. Kill this MAP!

[/ QUOTE ]

it could be a different map! like it starts out in Orenbega, and ends in an office.

"Say Bob, I need those TPS reports, and also, I'm going to go ahead and ask you to give me your body so that my friend's soul can inhabit it. I'm sure you understand."

The Statesman TF looks like nine kinds of awesome (although isn't it going to break a certain story arc to have Statesy physically handing out this TF?)

[/ QUOTE ]

That's the only other issue I have with it at this point. Depending on how it pans out on Test, I may ask that States be moved to inside the FC ship with the door unlocked by the badge. AFAIK, Recluse will only hand out his SF to a leader who has his Patron badge, so it wouldn't be dissimilar in that regard.

[/ QUOTE ]

actually, I just noticed that in the shot of Statesman, he doesn't have the contact circle under his feet. so it's possible that what we see there is in an instanced mission or something.

Dark Defender's can pitch hit for Controllers in most circumstances. And Ice/Ice Blasters.

[/ QUOTE ]
I wouldn't say Ice/Ice blasters could, they only have single target control and not the AoE control controllers specialize in. Dark defenders can manage as a substitute with their fear cone and black hole.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think Ice/Ice has enough control to manage. It has a massive slow in Shiver, and also ice patch. ice patch is effective against bane spiders, and tarantulas, and pretty much anything that doesn't float.

it won't affect the AVs, obviously, but with three (or even four, depending on the APP) fast cycling single target holds, I think it can more than hold it's own

Does that 30-40 minutes include the time it took you to get Shivan's and/or nukes? If not, how long do you spend in prep time before each of these solo runs?

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually Castle, i have to own up to doing similiar types of things. I soloed every single TF for the task force commander accolade with my Heroes. The missions would spawn small amounts, and be easy to complete. The only trouble i had was with babbage, in which a simple call in bcast took care off. For any really hard AV's i could just have my other account loaded in, or a friend show up to the fight, and the AV's would be reletively easy.

1 Brute can deystroy and AV when his fury bar is all the way up, and he has a buffer on the side. I think nukes and shivans would make it possible. Keep in mind shivans take about 10-15 min prep time. Not all that much.

I think they are overpowered and should be nerfed significantly. but thats just me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just looking at what you've said here.....

How long does it take you find enough slugs to join your team/get in zone/explain how they will be kicked at the start of the TF?

How long does it take people to show up when Babbage is too much for you? (My 4 or 5 man team recently took about 10 minutes to get enough pickup/broadcast people on him to start dropping his health. They weren't enough, even with about a dozen of them, until somebody dropped to get their 50 rad controller.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Playing on the same server as Incursion (Champion), I would bet that it would take him 5 minutes to get his SG mates to start a TF for him. If they are too busy PVPing in the arena, he could probably get other forumites to start one within 10 minutes at the most.

As for cases like Babbage, again, I would say 5 or 10 minutes at the most.

All depends on server community.

[/ QUOTE ]

heh, Champion seems to have a pathological hatred of Babbage. I remember helping kill him three times in the space of 10 minutes one day. Every time the call went out, like 60 people showed up to fight him...

[/ QUOTE ]

I believe our hatred for him came about when he stated that Champion sucks and that Freedumb is the best server. Even after proving to him that his statement was false, we still hold a grudge.

[/ QUOTE ]

heh, stupid giant robot thing! WE SHOWED HIM! IT! WHATEVER!

Inventions has been touted as something that shelved level 50's can partake in. Level 50's that have completed all their story arcs already. Please, how can both of those occur? Level 50's can not experience IO's if they are locked out of acheiving specific rewards because they happened to hit the level cap before I9.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's like I said, we are looking into other options that keeps the mechanic of the four pool system. Our intention is to not make people feel "gimped" for previously completing all their story arcs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Lady_Sadako's idea would work well for this in the short term, in my opinion.

allowing 50s to go back and redo arcs would be the most ideal in the long term, but I have a feeling that would take a while to recode all the contacts...

also, any II thread should be subtitled :Electric Boogalo, or :the Quickening. or even : the Wrath of Khan. for shame.

so these are all coming in i9 right? I mean, Positron said so!

I keed, I keed.

kind of surprised to see shields brought up again, though, given that they were previously stated to be 'too expensive' to do...

thanks for doing that, Lady_Sadako.

boo work filter, not letting me read it!

I went out, bought grounds, brewed them, poured a cup, drank a sip, then spit it out because this thread is so funny.

Actualy i still see some tanks and scrappers trying to heard a entire mapp... they usualy does not survive the experince. Stll.. fun to watch.

I teamed with an Ice tank a while back that was herding a lot... he did pretty well at it, actually, but then got overconfident and tried to herd a whole room full of oranges and reds. that didn't go so well.

[ QUOTE ]
I see one major problem with a Marvel Super Heroes MMO. I don't see how they could ever balance it. If a game like this one has balance problems imagine a game like that. And how on earth do you account for multiple versions of the same marvel character? A team of four Wolverines? There is only one Wolverine? More than one would just feel lame.

[/ QUOTE ]

I would be shocked if they let you play as signature characters, really.

[ QUOTE ]
Is there a forum for suggesting new power sets or pool power sets?


[/ QUOTE ]

yeah, the 'suggestions and ideas' forum is the place for that.

I may possibly be the only person who's not exactly looking forward to Safeguard Missions, especially after reading the description of it here.

If I read it right, it's basically War Wall Defender. Except more so.

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah, I kinda suck at keeping things from being destroyed hero-side...

well, before I got Ice patch, at least

regardless, that doesn't sound as fun as mayhem missions, but I guess we'll see, won't we?

[ QUOTE ]
Precedent for Auto Assault (I don't know if the Lineages or Guild Wars have vet rewards) is that they do not count the original months.. if this is an NCSoft tracked thing, they it's possible that free months might not be counted. I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't get credit for my three free months, personally.

[/ QUOTE ]

That would stink for the really loyal customers who bought both CoH, CoV and a hero kit.

{Edit} Something looks wonky, as I'm only showing 1 year and 9 months and I've only been not active for about a week while I made sure I wasn't going to over extend my credit card balance.

And I've been playing since the three day head start too.

Something in their numbers is not adding up.

[/ QUOTE ]

well, if you've ever used a game time card, it's apparantly caused problems with tracking. mine was a few months off, and support fixed it for me.

hey, it only took us... how months has it been now?

Be careful about adding new stuff now, the rent could get to be more than our income...

heh, I was just thinking that...

someone should photoshop him in hovering above the rest.
