  1. Well, heck. I was hoping there was a way to do it my search-fu just hadn't uncovered yet, aside from the already-mentioned options.

    Thanks everyone!
  2. I have a friend who plays City, and I'd like to buy the boosters for him because he doesn't have any of them. (Ok, a bunch of us want to each buy him a booster so he gets them all.)

    How is that possible?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
  3. Dear Eric/Ocho, sad to see you go, but glad it's for new opportunities and a reduced cost of living May your future be so bright you gotta wear galactic shades ;-)

    Electric/???

    I have an electric/storm troller, but I know I need to find a better way than "random" to slot her so she performs adequately. I usually team with folks who are so good at what they're doing that my suckiness doesn't matter to them, but I'm sick of being the weak link.
  5. Best of luck, Castle! I hope you're moving on to something fun and fabulous for your career!

    I think it's ironic that in the real world, the Christmas decor starts around Halloween, but in our cyber world in Paragon it only lasts 2 weeks.

    It's kind of funny, there's an alleged "wiccan" here, but the Malleus ( Salem Witch trials, Witch Hunts all together, etc ) actually had nothing remotely to do with Wicca itself. Cool point of fact, that's WHY "Witch Hunt" is used in the way it is. Because they literally weren't actual witches, they were just normal people.. Not Wiccans.. Just.. People..

    So, yeah. Actually you really have nothing to be offended about if you're Wiccan even if this is a reference to the Malleficarum because it has nothing to do with you and it's certainly not any attempted jab at you.
    I've been a practicing Wiccan since 1984, and references to the Malleus Maleficarum don't bother me a bit. It was a tool used to commit atrocities hundreds of years ago and honestly has no bearing on a video game in 2010. I'd vote to keep the badge as is.
  8. I'm glad they're doing the give-away for the folks who couldn't afford to buy the boosters. I've already got all of the stuff in that list that I want, so I'll just look forward to GR going live and applaud whoever wins the codes in the give-away. It's going to take diligence and speed, I imagine

    (Now all I want for Xmas is Power Slide - even if I have to buy it. How about about it, Posi-Claus?)
  9. I agree that Energy Morph reminds one of the Terminator teleport because of the crater and the crouch, but the energy sphere/flash remind me more of Firestar's transformation animation from the 1980's Spiderman show. (and she was a mutant, wasn't she?)

    I tried the Bioluminescent look underneath a jacket, and put some shorts on my female character and frankly it looked pretty great.

    People are going to make naked characters, there's no point in complaining about it. If they're given the option to, it's going to happen. It's not like there are nude male heroes beating bad guys into submission with their "club" or anything. Heck, if this was a certain other game, scantily clad females with the chest slider on maximum would probably have a 10% chance to stun their male opponents ;-)

    downtime?

    Maybe they're just rebooting everything to fix Steel Canyon on Virtue?
  12. The video rocks, and it just gets me excited to play the game all over again. Now I have to go to work to support my CoH habit

    .
    I'd still prefer to be able to turn the buffs off after I get them. I appreciate the random buffing, but when someone has colored the ice shields to be bright white, it's blinding and I'd get rid of those because they do interfere with my playing.

    While I respect someone's viewpoint that getting random buffs interferes with their choice to not get buffed, telling others that they can't pass out random buffs interferes with their choice to do so. You can't have it both ways, really.

    I don't have a Yahoo address and I still haven't gotten an email from them in over a year unless I report a bug. The regular promotional emails don't come to me, but friends who stopped playing get them.

    It's annoying, but not life-altering
  15. I don't get it. They have never ever ever ever ever posted a "firm" release date, yet people are STILL asking for it? What part of "beating your head against a wall" don't people understand?
  16. I'm already playing City of Sidekicks with my blaster, Faceplantarella.

    What I believe is that it will be done in waves, even if it means those of use who qualify for CB won't get in until a week before it goes to open beta.

    At this point, I truly don't care if I get in at all anymore... I've started to have a lot of r/l issues coming up. so I haven't spent nearly the amount of time that I'd like to in the game...

    "Alien"
    It's apparent to me that what they announced at HeroCon as going into GR has since changed. Now some of it's going into i17 instead of waiting for GR.
  20. I don't get all the angst I've seen in scanning this thread.

    I'm a grown-up. With a job. I don't have a lot of expensive hobbies.

    I'm choosing the option that lets me play with the new stuff sooner, and the item pack when it's available. Price differences are less than I spend per week on cat litter and cat food.

    I've seen players doing regular content in the last few weeks already, so I'm hoping the boss farms will get deleted and the fun, creative AE missions will start getting some action.
  22. *squeeeee!!!*

    I can't wait to get home and log in, I have all sorts of plans for over a dozen character bio re-writes to match power color changes and costume changes!
  23. Hmm, after reading all of the posts, I'm left wondering something. What do your SG members get out of being in your SG? How does it benefit them? What are you doing for them?

    All I've seen is talk about getting your ranking up, and it seems like your SG members are just tools to get you there, instead of people you actually like/respect and enjoy playing with.

    The only NCSoft communiques I receive are from Support.

    Despite having my options checked, and NCSoft filtered to send to a specific folder NOT the spam folder.

    Guess Yahoo and Gmail both think something's up with NCSoft.

    Yeah, my email address hasn't changed in 10 years and I just stopped getting anything fro NCSoft a little over a year ago.

    Missing Beacons

    It's an honest answer. If it would hypothetically take you 2 hours to get them all again, and it would hypothetically take 20 hours for the GM to get them back for you, then it makes sense for them to not do the work. I run into this kind of stuff all the time at my office, and whichever solution is the least amount of work is the one that's approved.
