    Longbow has it coming.

    Higher level tip missions will also help with that.
  2. My Crazy 88 character has seen them in Atlas on Virtue.

    Sounds like a win-win. With the rewards reduced, I can't see what the issue would be.

    Ah.

    I suppose that was a good example of me projecting onto your comment.

    Heh.

    I'm not willing to panic until I see how these other slots are unlocked.

    If this does turn into Trials of Atlantis from DAOC, I'll grab a pitchfork and join you.

    That comes off as a bit creepy.
  7. As someone who has been here from 2004 also, I really think you are just projecting.

    • Every character can solo all soloable content without temp powers or similar gimmicks that not every character has access to.
    When was this ever true?

    Happy Holidays!

    Happy holidays.

    Incarnate Trials, eh?

    Edit - Oh God, Trials of Atlantis flashbacks...

    Accurate.
  11. Seems kind of odd that there would be a change now.

    You would think it would have happened a few weeks back, if intended.

    Having your characters act on knowledge you possess as a player but they don't violates one of the cardinal 'rules' of role playing.
    While that was a good one, I preferred the ranting about the gender changing power.

    No new zones

    Nope.

    We don't work for Paragon, though.
  15. That is really remarkable.
  16. Terrible news, Castle.

    I wish you the best, but damn, you will be hard to replace.
  17. Pretty sure that has been around for a long time.

    In the City of Heroes folder, find two files: one ends in PRV and one ends in CHECKSUM
    Delete them
    At Start, click Run. IN the box, type CMD
    The Command Prompt black screen appears. In the command window, type :
    IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS <--- notice the space before /

    After it runs, type EXIT in the command window and the black screen goes away.
    Restart COX
    It will checksum and then fix the broken files
    It will verify
    And then you can log in
    Fixed me up this morning.

    Thanks!

    I should have used Eye of the Magus. Probably wouldn't have needed the inspirations I used.
  20. I've only tried with my lvl 50 Fire/Energy/Fire Tank.

    Used about 5-6 inspirations, but not too hard. A good fight, went toe to toe with her.

    Same here, but I have no fear about being able to solo nothing.

    Haven't seen anything to make me worried.
  22. I'm not surprised that you think that.

    However, I think you are outnumbered by those who think the most recent story arcs (perhaps fewer in regard to the Alpha arc), think the arcs over the past few issues have been outstanding.

    Agreed.

    I think your sarcasm detector failed.

    Thank you cheap Kindle books.
