  1. I realized that we skipped a task force on our way up through the levels. In the 45+ range, we only did Lady Grey and Statesman. So now we go back and do the Dr Kahn TF.

    Saturday, August 20 at 1 PM EDT
    Dr. Kahn TF
    Level 45+
    Requires 4 players.

    1. Ironblade - either Al Pine (plant/cold controller) or a tank
    2. GATE-keeper - Magius Aegis (ill/storm controller)
    3. Ad Astra - fire/rad troller or a blaster
    4. ChrisMoses maybe
    5. Angelica Venger - KittyKitty BurnBurn (scrapper)
    6. Flux Overlord (scrapper)
    7. Doctor A Science (unknown AT)
    8. Nova (dominator)
  2. And a lot of people just list stuff for 1 inf, knowing that they are likely to get much more and they will definitely sell fast.

    (I tried to make the 2nd account Ironblade2 but it was taken.)
  5. Can the level drop happen while you're still inside a mission? I've never seen that happen.
  6. Or, third option, every so often the servers pitch a fit and drop random people off your global list. My globals are Ironblade One & Ironblade Too

    Anyway, the hamsters got tired and the servers are down for emergency maintenance. Although they might be back by now. I'll have to check.
  7. I don't need the numbers. My MA/SR scrapper has a bargain IO build and is awesome on survival. I am awaiting SR for tanks with bated breath. (Mainly because I've taken every tank primary to 50 and have been dying for a new one.)

    On a related note, my shield tank is at around 50% melee, 49% range and 46% AoE. SR is going to rule.

    Yep. It's like the Wedding and Party packs. They just didn't have enough of interest for me to buy them. Then they had them on sale for half off. Sold!

    Would more storage be a slight convenience? Sure. Is it worth those prices to me? Hell no. (This from a guy with two accounts and every expansion and booster pack on both accounts.)

    Internet speeds?

    Guess again. Due to my distance from the switching point, the best DSL offered to me is 768Kbps and I only get a fraction of that in practice. CoH works fine. If you were on DIAL-UP, you'd have to avoid some types of content. Once you get past maybe 150Kbps or so, you're fine.

    And, in case anyone is wondering, no this does not apply to ALL power pools - just the travel ones - like it says.

    Jesus. Learn some respect/patience.
    Surely it occurs to you that the people fixing it and the people informing us are two completely separate groups, right?
  12. Well, I got my new tank from 13 to 27 on the first day. Then I did the arc to unlock Ernesto Hess so I could run that today. Starting Sister Psyche in a few minutes.
  13. I would agree they're not 'keen' on it. However, they have made various 'pro farming' changes to alter how it impacts other players. We had lots of complaints about people broadcasting for 'fillers' to get a large team to farm a mission solo. So they gave us the ability for a solo person to run a mission as a team of 8.

    So it seems they don't particularly care for it, but they acknowledge it exists and will never go away and they're okay with that. Probably because it would anger a boatload of paying customers if they eliminated farming.

    Kindly follow the lead of the previous posters by indicating AT and powersets!
    Or don't bother.
  15. Hi there! Welcome.

    BTW, 'evildoer' is one word.

    What do you mean by testing?
    The game displays 'to hit' rolls, telling you what odds the power had to hit and what you 'rolled'. I think it's normally in the Combat tab but I moved it into its own tab to make it easier to read.
  17. The last two posts were made after midnight so, when you say "tomorrow", you really mean TODAY! OMG OMG OMG!

    We got a redname acknowledgement that they know it's a popular request (being able to move an SG to another server) and they are "looking at it". After that, it might move to "some day", then "soon".

    Unless they skipped it completely, in which case they get the pool automatically with just the default slot on each power.

    The looters in the lobby will not leave the building. The main thief, however, always has someone accompanying him. The thief, and his one or more assistants, must all be stopped. If any one of them reach the exit, the mission fails.
  21. I'll be running some task forces for Double XP Weekend. Due to the variability in running times, I'm just posting when I plan to start for the day. After each task force, I'll broadcast (global channels) for the next one, then take a 10-15 break so people in missions and such can get ready. I'll also put a dinner break in at the appropriate time.

    This isn't a sign-up thread. I'll be announcing the task forces on all the SG global channels that I'm on. I will also announce on some or all of the following (depending on how many more people I need for each TF):
    Inf Badge Seeker
    Infinity Badges 2.0
    Infinity Hamidon
    AE Anonymous

    Thursday 7PM EDT (Sadly, I have to work on Thursday.)
    Positron 1 and 2 (level 10+ and 11+)
    Synapse (15+)

    Friday noon EDT (I took Friday off.)
    Sister Psyche (20+)
    Moonfire (23+)
    Citadel (25+)
    maybe Ernesto Hess (25+) as this requires someone who has the contact unlocked
    Manticore (30+)
    Numina (35+)

    Saturday 1PM EDT
    Imperious TF (the usual Saturday TF with sign-ups in another thread)
    probably more TF's, unless I'm comatose by this point

    Are you calling him a sidekick? Are you?
    Say that to his face! I DARE YOU!
