    In theory, I wasn't helping that old broad in Striga for personal gain but I still got a snazzy ring out of it.
  2. Most people (so it seems) view the text box as an obstacle between the contact and smashing NPCs. I'd assume you're in the majority.

    I like a good story but I don't sweat some of the details others do. Different levels for different things and different people.
  3. Ran it last night. My Katana/Fire Aura scrapper laughed off most of the ghoul bombs but everyone else was making constant hospital runs. Durray was annoying beyond belief and mitigated any enjoyment I had experienced up to that point. I think we spent 45min on him.

    I suppose more holds would help on Durray but, since there's no more substantial reward to entice me (like the Kal power), I can't see myself playing it again. There's more fun things to do in CoH.

    Eh, it might be fun on my Earth/Storm 'troller.
  4. Sorry about the Acids thing. I was too busy planning how I could dance next to Marauder to pay attention to the instructions.

    But you WERE really impressed with how I managed to place myself right in the correct spot while you guys were off getting -- what were those? "Acids"? -- right? Wasn't it just the funniest thing EVER?

    Oh, well... sucks that we failed but just WAIT until you see me playing the drums next to Marauder on our next run! LOLOLOLOL!!!

    Likewise.

    I know you added it in to your post but, FYI, some people run with signatures off.
  6. I'll very happily be wrong and need to do some actual testing but I don't remember ever seeing it fire off during Freezing rain. You'd think I'd notice someone bursting into flame.

    It's not a requirement, it's an extra option for those who don't want to take a vertical movement travel power, don't want to use their additional builds, don't want to get/use the temp packs from radio missions and don't want to try running up the walls.

    Another option being to stay on the ground and wave as your league-mates knock out the towers.
  8. Lightning Storm. Watching the bolts strike guys and send them flying backwards with that whitish flame never gets old.

    *ZZzot!!*

    I went back and looked in Nova Praetoria and he has it there as well. It's weird because it looks like someone just strapped it on him at the last second.

    "Here, you might need a gun! Duct tape this to your hand!"
  10. When I played my AR blaster with the sniper rifle model, I used to love using the snipe to take down the last guy. The animation of holding up and aiming the rifle, then... BANG!

    My Earth/Storm 'troller can be fun just for the amount of visual noise she can pump out. Well, fun for me, anyway. Can't speak for the rest of the team
  11. CoH's expansion rate of one every 3.5 years (I'm counting CoV despite it launching as a separate game) is definitely slow compared to competition from the same time. These days it seems like MMORPGs don't get enough of a head of steam to start cranking out expansions like they used to.

    CoH obviously has had a lot of free content updates and I won't even try to compare the two in "value".

    And honestly, there will always be someone who will be seeing it for the first time, and you want to deny them the chance? That's probably why they're unskippable.
    Supposedly they're unskippable because the game uses the time they're running to assemble some trial-related technical stuff on the back end. Which is why everyone can't just fly over the wall and right into BAF Phase 1 without someone hitting the door.

    And thanks again! I had even stated that was he was offering was cool and I'd try to catch him the next time as he had closed the offer but he hit me up anyway

    I'm good for this. I do team a good bit but a lot of times I want to pursue my own selfish goals and just chatter with friends in globals while I do it.

    I think you mean:

    Put an -actual- writer -in- -charge- of -the- dialogue. Please! -Some- of those -cutscenes- are completely -pointless- and -add- nothing -to- -the- -experience-.
  16. Maybe I'm slow but I'm not sure I understand.

    Is the message here that you either qualify for a component reward or you don't and, if you do, then you have the same chances at a Common-V. Rare as everyone else who qualified?

    Back when my Earth/Storm 'troller was about level 20, I was lamenting the low damage output while soloing and had a "brilliant" plan. I would use my second build to take the various pool power attacks (boxing, kick, air superiority, flurry) and melee my way into victory!

    It was a dumb idea and quickly abandoned. But this could be my chance to resurrect that build! Add in more APP attacks and I'll be in business makin' my rares.

    Well, you have Gale.
  19. I assumed Ninja Run/Beast Run/Jump Pack were available due to the significant number of people who use them as their sole travel powers. They don't unbalance the trials and removing them would just make a lot of people upset that they need to respec or build/IO a second build just to include a travel power.

    My Earth/Storm gets the best results from ignoring anything useful and just spamming Stone Cages over and over. Can throw in Stalagmites for variety.

    I still wind up using my pseudopets because I have to live with myself

    Ok, actually I have a finite number of 50's to choose from. But I guess I have until July to make more.
  22. It has an AE building, trainer and WW all seconds form one another. Resources like that would be a significant boon for any invading army to capture, especially one that needs to rapidly train new soldiers for the front line.
  23. Yeah, but no one knows or cares who those are statues of. Atlas is a Grade A Landmark.

    I suppose you could make an argument for wiping out the center of the government except that this is a city we're talking about. It's not as though City Hall is actually coordinating hero response.
