  1. Best memory? The feeling I get whenever I log into the game. It always feels like I'm moving from a world of adulthoods and seriousness to a world of childhood dreams.

    And knowing from experience that the dev team is the most awesome of any MMORPG I have ever played.

    Exactly what I was thinking! Welcome Skippy! Remember to duck a lot in here.

    It's never happened while zoning for me. But happens 100% of the time when I first load a character after logging in.
  4. I blame Warwitch and her underlings for making a mockery of what should be serious and somber NPC mission dialog. How can we take our enemies seriously when they spout off so? Does levity really have any place in OUR game?

    Exactly! The first thing I do when I get a char to 50 is park them and make a new alt.

    Okay, I'm lying. I make new alts all the time. Which is why it took me over a year to get my first 50. But to reiterate, the Journey in CoX is what it's all about. While other games toss around terms like "End Game Content", we've always managed to avoid that here because there is so fricken much to do between 1 and 50 that I never get bored of it.

    Case-in-point, the first Issue added a new zone with content for level 5-15 players. Other new content that was added over many Issues included zones for levels 15-25, 20-30, and 30-40 because the devs have known all along that giving players more reasons to create alts was far more important than giving them reasons to race to 50 to play some "End Game".

    And actually, realistic butt physics would be lovely too. We spend pretty much all of our time staring at our characters backs and behinds. They should really be as refined as possible.
    I can totally get behind this idea. No pun intended...or was it?

    Indeed, Organica, thank you. I was that Blaster once and it's people like you that have kept me here for almost 6 years. Now whether or not that's a good or bad thing is for you to decide.

    Not that I disagree... but what brought this on? This thread is a non sequitir.
    One of the posts talked about the chest slider. At that point this thread became VERY important.

    I hardly ever use the "with skin" option on any my characters, which are also always female. These days I let my husband do my costume designs or I'll end up spending days in the character designer.

    Whenever I play my energy/energy blaster I have this comment bound to a key so that I can say it every now and then: "Sorry about how my powers spread the mobs around so much. I even annoy myself sometimes."

    On the kicking from team thing. I actually seek out teams with wildly diverse class combinations. If people know how to play, the powers they pick don't mean a thing to me.

    This is exactly what I do now, except all I slot until I get to 12 when I get DO's is accuracy TO's. I hate to miss!

    -Bases. This means things to do in your base as well as base raiding and Cathedral of Pain trial.

    I would think that quite a few people would be interested in more content/bases/base raiding/CoP trial returning.
    I completely agree. But on the "content needed" question you do realize that there are over 340,000 AE mission arcs to choose from, right? And if we eliminate all the crummy ones that leaves....er. Okay, I get your point. (no insult intended for the producers of the many AE arcs that are awesome).

    As I recall it was a post by Positron where I first heard someone call it the cake room. The name my husband and I call it has several expletives in it, and you have to say it with your teeth clinched.

    Hey NCSoft...

By moving to a "get stuff now, pay later" scheme, NCSoft can fullfill it's responsibility to continually provide access to low-risk high-yield benefits and collaboratively administrate economically sound materials while promoting personal employee growth.

    Not only that, but it would prove that NCSoft has committed to assertively integrate high-quality infrastructures to exceed customer expectations, thus demonstrating to the jaded gaming demographic that it does indeed properly leverage it's existing framework to stay competitive in tomorrows world.

    It's a Win-Win.
    I'm seriously thinking that X is JLove's alt account.

    Sweet doggie. I'd really love to get a new dog. But the heart break we went through when our Georgie died (cocker spaniel) is still making a new commitment difficult.

    Hey Everyone

    Great to see you on the forums again, A_C

    Agreed. I'm always finding reasons to go through Atlas Park, even with my highest level characters, just to soak up the community feeling. Stopping to watch a costume contest is one of my favorite things to do.
  20. I'm trying to think of a fond memory of CoH in the past...thinking, thinking. Because it has consistently gotten better over the years. CoX now compared to CoH almost 6 years ago is like the difference between a lightening bug and lightening. Yeah, I have a lot of fond memories from the past--first time flying or super jumping, stuff like that. But CoX now is so very awesome compared to what it was.

    But think of how much simplier your life would be? Anyway, objectifying pixels verses a person could make for an interesting debate.

    It's been almost 6 years now. And there is ALWAYS something exciting on the horizon for my all-time favorite game. Thank you devs!

    New to game

    Welcome Syfy!

    Just a quick comment to add to all the great advice in this thread. Learning how power Enhancements work can take some time. They are those little round things you put in the round slots that come with each power. And you get more slots to add to powers as you level.

    It will take time and research on your part to really get their benefits. Because they let you customize each of your powers: Improve accuracy, damage, recharge time, etc. I highly recommend just slotting accuracy enhancements in the early levels. Because I like to hit more--missing less--even though I do less damage.

    Welcome to my all time favorite MMORPG.

    Generic Rant

    Off topic comment that is supposed to be witty but fails miserably. Lament about how hard it is to think this stuff up. Reference to why else would I have less than 1000 posts in almost 6 years.
  24. Maybe I'm alone on this one. But it bugs the heck out of me when people use the word "ton" to describe a lot of things. Example: "There were a ton of people running that marathon." I see that in forums all the time and it drives me nuts.
  25. If you have Windows 7 and a bunch CoX screenshots you can set your background (Personalize when you right-click the desktop) to a Slideshow option (lower left corner of the Personalize screen). You can then pick all the CoX screenshots you want to include in the slideshow. I love it!.
