  1. There's a woman standing near Miss Liberty in Atlas giving out a mission about Aniversary Pressies going missing. Is she new? Something to do with St.Vals? Is there a red side version?

    Thats the one bit I'm not happy with, though thats easy for me to say with multiple 50s, I guess my Brother will be happy he's a 60 month Vet with no 50s yet, talk about altitis!

  4. Heart Attack

    Hello Union

    Well, well, well Sammy is back. My Wife will be pleased. You know us both and have teamed a lot with us in the past. Cya online. Question is will you know who this is? As my wifes Global has changed you'll struggle even more with knowing who she is.

    Typing http://www.cityofheroes.com/ still takes us into the english EU site, BUT the flags now work so you can get to the US, French and German sites.
  6. None of the flags work on the english EU page. If you wanted to see the French or German versions you're just sent back to the english one. Not that I can read either one, but it smacks of a very poorly implemented idea.
  7. I loved the letters, so much added to that background.

    The Amazing Alejandro J. Cantu is the one who really got to me, having a young daughter myself it just caught at my throat.
  8. Sorry if this has already been asked. I did check, but searchfoo is weak in me.

    We all have at least one Alt thats precious to us. One that we've played with for years or just a short time but somehow seems "right" for us.

    For me it's Heart Attack, over 4 years play and somehow very special to me.

    So thinking about that special Alt.

    If you had the chance to take that alt on the Omega team and know almost certainly that they would be destroyed, completely, with no chance of getting them back and no way of remaking them either.

    It'd be like taking them on a TF and knowing that even if you succeed the alt is gone for ever.

    Would your special Alt be in the Omega team or would you try to get onto the Alpha team?

    Me, I think I'd bottle, Heart on the other hand would be there like a shot. After all he's a hero, I'm just a player.
  9. How about Judge Dredds Lawgiver (might be copyright issues though)
  10. Actually one of my wifes alts is called Scarlet Stalker, in fact it was her first one, lvl 18 and played along side Fire Bringer my first one.

    Now for the big one. Why does a big black lump carry the name Heart Attack?
    Thers an Alice Cooper song (I'm your Gun) thats one of my favourtites, one of the lines in it goes,

    "I'm dressed in Black I'm a Heart Attack..."

    Oops Sorry!!!
  13. I don't think people are being rude, just traditional. We've always gathered there, so we always will.

    Thematically why should it be safe from spawning? The Zombies and Rikti DONT CARE!

    In game play terms should they be safe, yes course they should and when they are people will move, until then tradition will carry on. You can moan about it, but it isn't going to change unless the devs make a change.
  14. Last night Heart Attack made 50 after almost 4 years.

    He's not my first alt (Fire Bringer still only lvl 19)

    He's not my first 50 (Attacktics a couple of years ago)

    He's no longer my Global Name (he was but because of a bug thats now @Galaxy Walker and has been for a couple of years)

    BUT he is my Forum Handle

    He leveled to 50 healing others during a zombie invasion, I'd say fighting a zombie invasion, but as a Dark/Empath he doesn't really do the fighting thing.

    He holds a special place in my Heart because he was the Alt I saw the city with. Down at level 9 with stealth I toured the different parts of the city I could with him. Seeing Talos, IP, Bricks, FF and PI for the first time over three years ago.

    He was the first alt (of mine) to get an exploration badge (Solace, behind the "TO" store ion Skyway) and became my first badging alt after I found out about Vidiotmaps.

    I have picture of him with the holiday jet pack with it's trail of snow flakes high about steel a dark hero in the dark night.

    He's had fly, TP, SS and now as with most of my alts has SJ (hey I like it the most )

    Normally I don't play my 50s, they kind of go into retirement to occasionally come out for a mothership raid or to change day job locations, but Heart is different he'll be appearing from time to time to get badges (he only has about 280 of them so many to go).

    So Who is Heart Attack?
    He's a lump of living Black Rock, one day he awoke in Paragon City with a desire to help. He has helped and is still helping, but he still wonders "where am I from", "Who am I" and "How did I get to Paragon City". Perhaps one day he'll find out.

    Finally A big HI to Scarlet Stalker who I bumped into last night just after he'd hit 50, it was nice to see another forumette.

    Oh well off to my Profile to add him to my 50s list
  15. $Alignment (Hero, Villain, Rogue etc) might be handy too
  16. I like the second one it would be very handy. To be honest I'm hoping they finally get around to having a look at everything to do with finding teams and finding people to be on teams.

    Not so bothered about the first one though.

I did get several new ones to 20, which is when I tend to really start to enjoying a toon.

    2) I love AE. It's the best enhancement to the game, ever. It's infinite free content, even if alot of it was dreck.
    So you are saying you like AE, but you want to take your time leveling.

    You want to play AE missions in a team because you find that more fun.

    The changes to AE mean that you can't get on an AE team to level at a slower pace because no one is now using AE.

    Does that sum it up?

    There must be other people on your server who feel the same way, have you tried global channels, tells or the forum to try to get people with a similar view together for a regular team?

    Try that it may be you'll find some new friends that like AE and enjoying their toons leveling at the same pace you do. Thats what people do with other things like PvP after all.

    They really should have added the option, it was cool, but I guess it was too much work
  19. Like it can see one little problem though and it's a biggie...

    What COLOUR would it be
  20. I did a search for - KB and - Knockback before I posted the original suggestion and didn't find anything. Just tried one for -Knockback and found one from September, some good comments especially about specific powers. Looks like this thread isn't needed, my appologies.

    Just one thought, how do you use bonfire effectly without getting kicked from the team?
  21. While I see your point that about KB being in there to mitigate a power, if I as a play find it annoying and want to "waste" several slots making it remove that annoyance from myself why shouldn't I be able to?

    After all I'm not forcing you to "ruin" your play by using -KB, you pay to play and can choose to ignore them same as I can choose to use them.

    Yes KB has it's place and it can be used constuctively, but it can also be a nusance. Simply because you are happy with it doesn't mean everyone is and doesn't mean you are right to dismiss the idea.

    Maybe you should take this he/she thing to a different topic rather than derail this topic.
  23. I've never come across that etiquette, so I'd probably just click the glowie. I'll have to start asking the mission holder now.

    Worse etiquette I've even come across happened just this weekend. Teams waiting for the last member to arrive at the mission door. One team member (NOT the mission holder) enters the mission, ghosts it and clicks the glowie. Last team member arrives just at the mission ends! Leader did kick said person but let them back in.

    Same team next mission. X "Sorry guys having problems with my PC, need to reboot, can you save me a place?". Leader "Sure". Few moments later 8th spot filled by another alt, player returns and is a bit miffed (to say the least).

    We left the PUG soon after and joined up with the player who'd had to reboot, built a new team and had much more fun.
  24. I have heard that historically contacts where intended to be the only way you could buy enhancements. My understanding was that was pre-release, maybe even pre-beta, but their price was set back then.

    The idea of the contact selling stuff at a readuce rate makes sense to me though. Maybe their cost should reflect how much you've done for them. So early on you'd not get any from them. Then they'd sell you some at higher cost, as you did more missions their price would drop and finally when you've done loads for them they'd sell them to you cheaper than Quartermasters. Kind of them giving their "mate" a discount. To be honest the text from blue side contacts (older ones at least) suggests this is what should happen anyway.
