  1. Under exactly the right conditions, it works. Frequently, it does not. To REALLY check if a name is available, make a throw-away toon with that name to see.

    I wish there were a more polite way to convey negative feelings about the direction of this game without actually pissing people off.

    Showing numbers is telling the truth, and the truth is more often than not... a very ugly thing.
    Get over yourself. Free speech doesn't exist here. Period. That's because it's a privately owned forum. The only rights you have are those granted by the owners.

    As a general rule, the correct response to any email that asks for information or provides a link is to connect directly to the company site, NOT using the link in the email, and proceed from there.

    If it says you have an account issue, log in directly and check.

    Easy.
    1) We all get our maximum toons per server raised to 72.
    2) Each gets generic'ed and a rename token. First one to log in and grab the name they both had gets to keep it.

    Technically, it was ALWAYS PvE content.

    I think you can turn that display item off. Open your map and, in the OPTIONS section, make sure every item is checked. Well, except NAMES. That's the only one I have turned off. The zone events are probably under SPECIAL.
  7. What kind of tank? I've soloed him on a few toons. I've never had him kill one of my tanks, although they don't all do enough damage to defeat him. He throws a lot of negative and psi damage, which are not widely resisted.

    Some purple inspirations are probably the best plan, since they interfere with him being able to damage you and heal himself.

    No, it wouldn't. A Mastermind who changes alignment to hero IS A HERO. Why would he fight other heroes? He may be a 'villain AT', but he is no longer a villain.

    So, no, this will never happen. It makes zero sense and is not how this game is set up.
  9. Okay, a short break for the Hess and Hannon TF's and now hopefully people have gotten to 35. Next up is Numina. The contact is in Founders Falls and the minimum level to join is 35. Minimum team size is 4.
    1. Ironblade - either Jenni Everywhere (ws) or Mr. Shouty (sonic/sonic def) if we need debuffs.
    2. Taxi Glowstick
    3. Flux Overlord
    4. Simian Stalker - War Shield
    5. Ad Astra - not sure what toon
    6. Dr Sumfin or Other
    7. Arrowny - Taximage Illusia (illusion/emp controller)
    8. Gillian Boardman - something with bunny ears

    It is, but not at the old domain. Similar to Red Tomax's site, you need to go to cohtitan.com to access it.

    Speaking of my forum handle, I have no idea where the "NA" came from. How the hell do I get rid of that?
    Someone on the European forums had the same name so we ended up with a FortySeven_NA and FortySeven_EU. You can ask a mod to change it for you. I just checked, and there is still a FortySeven_EU and FortySeven is NOT taken.
  12. At least she's not her own grandpa. That would really be messed up.
  13. I remember your explanation about taking your forum handle from your operator number.

    I have you friended on CoHFaces.

    I remember you set up that map application to show peoples locations.

    So.... no, no idea who you are.

    Your narrow-mindedness suggests you really aren't looking for opinions from other people. Are you really saying you can't even entertain the notion that some people like things different from the way you like them? Since you like a crowded server, anyone who claims otherwise is either deluding themselves or deliberately lying???

    Or did you mean "complement".

    Maybe they were working phonetically. B and V are sometimes pronounced the same.*

    Therefore, the solution is:
    Tier 1 pets: little bears
    Tier 2 pets: large bears
    Tier 3 pet: huge bear


    Even better (in terms of player demand), what if they made a pet set using cats? I think we would see massive swarms of catgirl MM's. It would probably become the most widely-played MM set. If they even HINTED that such a set might exist some day, I would immediately camp the name Cat Herder.

    Partly. The amount of effect you have is based on your rep, number of forum posts and years since you registered on the forums.

    Probably not the only one, but it sure as hell doesn't bother me. As long as they're not using language they'd be ashamed to use in front of their mother, they can call me whatever they like.

    Did I miss something? I spend way too much time on these forums but don't recall seeing anything about the transaction fees going away.

    Easily enough done - just remove certain enemy groups and features. Maybe they should just make the mission more generic, have it be all Fifth Column.

    That is what I am taking about. Not the mutiple causes mentioned in the past, since they appeared to have fixed it with I17 only to break it once again.
    Personally, no, I didn't notice a marked improvement. However, I wasn't running it several times a week (or day) like a lot of people so I'm not really in a position to detect anything but huge changes. I didn't notice any huge change between pre-17 and post-17.

    I suspect they didn't actually raise the drop rate, per se. I think there was simply a table of possible drops with temp powers being X number of slots. They added a great many new temp powers, taking up a great many possible slots. So they 'effectively' raised the drop rate. I don't think they really thought it through.


    Quote:
    I think the rate should be scaled down again. Anyone else want to agree/disagree?
    Yeah, I think they need to knock it down by at least 50%.
