Just because you don't have time to recruit and run an SG, doesn't mean you need to sell or delete it. You can keep it as your personal SG. Base upkeep costs are so low now, anyone can run a solo SG.
Having said that, if you need influence you can sell it. I bought a VG on my home server because someone happened to be selling one and I didn't feel like starting from scratch (and I liked the name).
If you do decide to sell it, post in your server forum about it. -
Quote:Learn to read. Most of us think it's a fine idea - *BUT* the suggestion does nothing to help the OP RIGHT NOW.Originally Posted by Spinomania
I soooo love that when uber-know-it-all players come and unsign something.
Not because it's bad for the game or because it would hurt them, just because they want others to play the same way they do - controllers and defender HAVE to team, kinetics MUST have speed boost, tanks or brutes MUST taunt, people should min/max using IO's...the list goes on.
It's just a quality of life request, for Pete's sake ! and it would align Orobouros content with the rest of the game.
Read it like this:
"I couldn't solo this EB. We need a warning about EB's."
"Good idea and maybe we'll get such a warning in 6 months. IN THE MEANTIME, here's how you can solo the EB......" -
Quote:Yes, it does. And the solution, in my opinion, is to introduce personal 'apartments' that use the same base-building system. This would make the system accessible at a basic level to EVERYONE.Originally Posted by DevilYouKnow
It seems to me though that the only way base building is gonna get some love is if base builders make up a bigger percentage of the population.

Quote:Wow, you really need to broaden your knowledge of the genre. You're not talking about a sub-genre; you're not talking about one company's fiction; you're talking about ONE HERO TEAM. And, FYI, those metal claws are not a mutant characteristic at all - those are a surgical modification.Originally Posted by Endlessly
Hmmm... Maybe I'm just not too familiar with most mutant characters in fiction. Most I think of have mutations like metal claws, laser eyes, metal skin.

Quote:Firstly, no enemy is designed to be impossible for anyone. Some are just harder than others. And you CAN do something. Get some inspirations and a Shivan shard. That will let you solo ANY EB.Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
You're completely screwed by a brick wall of difficulty. The fight isn't just frustrating, it's designed to be impossible (for you). You can't invite any new teammates. You can't really do *anything* except abandon the arc,
Hard, yes. Impossible, no. I soloed Nosferatu on my empathy defender with a 'bargain basement' IO build (built for +recovery, cost under 25 million infl).Quote:Originally Posted by Sister_Twelve
Nosferatu is a very hard elite boss to solo for almost every AT.
And that pretty much sums it up.Quote:Originally Posted by Zubenelgenubi
So after the ambush, load up on inspirations and take him down. If you never lost a fight, it wouldn't be much of a game. And trollers have a lot of tricks. Adjust your strategy and try again. -
I see two possible issues:
1) With the random phrases, you are only limited by how many files you feel like creating. With costumes, you are limited to FIVE and you only have that many after hitting level 40.
2) You have to wait 30 seconds after a costume change before you can change it again. -

So what are the other teaming channels?

I'm sure, but I'm not on any of them.Quote:Are there any RP or PVP channels? -

I notice that all of you guys responding are long-time CoH veterans. I certainly respect your knowledge of the game, but I wonder if you really grasp my perspective on the game.
Are you here to PLAY, or have people play FOR you?Quote:I've only been able to grow toons quickly by having higher-level players get together and power-level me.
Exactly what is your hurry to get to 50? This is not one of the games where you rush to max level so you can do end-game raids, be useful to your guild, whatever. Once they hit 50, most people either start a new character or continue doing the same stuff they did on the way to 50.
Oh, and I have a stack of guides and technical manuals for various software packages and programming languages. The vast majority of them were way less than $30. Charging that much for a GAME guide is nothing less than grotesque. -
Also, the store is sometimes wonky and won't let you buy things for no reason at all.
-
On a related note: most defense or resistance-based sets are pretty shabby while using TO's and DO's. When you hit 22 and slot SO's, your survivability skyrockets.

Quote:No, but they did fix the exploit that let you get HO's over level 50 in the first place.Originally Posted by Garrott
I thought that they took away the ability to combine Hami's.

Was this in an AE mission? I know those can have reduced XP, depending on how they are set up. I'm not sure if they can have no XP.
What mission were you in?
What server?
Did you try street hunting to see if that gave XP? -

Quote:No. We are 'entitled' to any and all expectations.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
The only expectation we are entitled to is that when the devs add a new feature to the game they give us full disclosure on how to use it including any penalties that we might incur if the feature has a time limit.
Some, however, might be unrealistic. In my opinion, this expectation did not fall into that category. -
Quote:Are you POSITIVE it's locked up? How long did you wait?Originally Posted by CaptainAmazing
Thats great, I can't load into the RWZ base. I lock UP and have to kill the process. Half Way in.
I had this happen on one toon when entering RWZ and ended the process and restarted. When I tried to log back in, it happened again but I did something different. The sequence went as follows:
1. RWZ loading screen appears.
2. Progress bar appears and starts to move.
3. Progress bar disappears, sound starts looping and mouse pointer does not respond.
4. WAIT! (At least 20-30 seconds.)
5. Progress bar reappears, finishes and zone loads.
So, yeah, something is broken, but it doesn't seem to be a fatal error - at least it wasn't for me. -
Yeah, it's *a* teaming channel. I'm on 3 teaming channels. AEA is one of them, but it's rarely (if ever) the most active one. And by 'active', I don't mean chatter. I mean teaming.

It was bugged. I could have a dozen items for sale, bidding, stored - it didn't make a difference. I would get the notification SOME OF THE TIME.Quote:Originally Posted by Decorum
So THAT'S why I was only getting the message sporadically. Cool.

Hey everybody, I really need some help coming up with a good name for my Energy/Energy Blaster. I had originally intended to call him Collision, but it was taken. Now I can't decide what to call him. Any suggestions, please?

There is no breaking into the ship. Once the shield comes down, you start planting bombs in top of the ship. After you've planted enough bombs (5? 10? Don't recall),

Quote:No offense, but I have emails going back years, both at work and at home, in order to keep a record of information. When the devs decided to refer to the system as "EMAIL", that automatically came with certain expectations of how it would work, based on other email systems we have already been using for many years.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
No offense but I'm not going to feel sympathy if someone gets burned when they are using a feature in a way it wasn't intended.

Quote:It's a matter of user customization. We have settings that we can change for a great many prompts and onscreen warnings.Originally Posted by Castle
This is a situation I cannot win with. I removed the prompt; people complained until I was told to put it back. Now it's back, a completely different set of people get to complain.
We have no such option for the Mystic Fortune. We are either forced to deal with a pop-up every time or we are forced to accept it whether we want it or not. BOTH situations give the customer no choice.
Even worse are the configuration settings for the 'high auction house fee' warning and the 'useful salvage' warning. The settings exist but they don't work. -

Quote:Well, yes, but they're not always intuitive.Originally Posted by Clebstein
Aren't they listed in alphabetical order by what they enhance? Accuracy, Damage, Defense, etc etc.
- Damage resistance is listed under R, for 'Resist Damage'.
- Do you recall offhand if you should be looking for 'Stun' or 'Disorient'? (Stun.)
- While we have 'Snare' sets, the enhancement is listed under I for Immobilization.
Also, how do we explain that the following are listed in this order:
Range Increase
Recharge Reduction
Endurance Modification
Resist Damage
Run Speed
Why the heck is End Mod in the middle there???
