The designers told me explicitly NOT to add the nav arrow (the little yellow arrow with the distance). They said it would break immersion, but I was tired of trying to navigate by compass only in 3D world so I put it in anyways.
After everyone used it, they decided to keep it.
Not counting the Arcanaville, that's pretty much a thread winner.
Did you get to keep the box? -
For me, it really depends on what "scratch" means.
If all server data was wiped, including account unlocks and such?
I would be a little hesitant. I can remake and play my stable of characters easy, I have their proportions and costume pieces down to memory, and I'm not a huge stickler on builds, most of the time picking which power I think I need as I level, leaving me with a customized character that shows their scars and hardships from their journey. But I cannot think of a single costume on a single character of mine that doesn't use an unlocked costume piece, and many of my mains use purchased powersets. And that feels like a deal breaker for me. Having to pour as much money as I already have into this game again to get even remotely to what I have ~now~?
I'm left with trepidation that I would not continue playing if that were the case. -
Soooooooo.
Is it finally okay to spill the beans on just ~how much~ the CoH marketing budget was?
Some friends and I have had a long running bet going and it would be nice if it could be finalized. -
In no particular order.
Doc Buzzsaw
The Terra Conspiracy
The Freaklympics
All 4 Doppleganger arcs
All the Faultline arcs
All the RWZ arcs
Westin Phipps' arcs
Plenty more of them, but that's just off the top of my head, and mostly classic arcs. -

That's amazing, with the added bonus of personal significance to the director herself.
My suggestion is to pick a spot somewhere (or two spots, for both sides of the game), and go to each server for as long as you want, and one at a time, film people standing in the same spot and /e bigwave 'ing facing the camera. Speed it up as much as possible to fit as many as you wish, with character name and global name credits at the end.
Or, montage a bunch of characters using several powersets signature moves on key enemies (like Recluse, Snaptooth, GW, Tyrant in his cave map), blend them seamlessly so each looks like the power user is just shifting form while they attack. Powers like Eagles Claw, Eviscerate, Full Auto, Mass Confusion, Shield Charge, Wormhole, Fulcrum Shift... and the Judgements too.
Though to be honest, it'd probably best to do both of those, with a send off to the skies and horizon to nail the ending.

Glad to hear she's handling it better than most of us.
One of this game's crowning achievements (out of many) is the little things like Sister Flame that bring a family and community together. -
I am flabbergasted and in awe of this, Community Team. I already nabbed mine from the Twitter run, but my friends were all unable to get any of the previous offerings. And after two weeks of RL pancaking stuff happening, it's... heartwarming to see something like this.
*faith in humanity restored (a little)* -
Gear Kitty actively assesses the threat level and capability of nearby enemies and responds with appropriate actions that do not create lasting harm upon her foes. This is only trumped by persons or things masquerading as those she trusts. Those she beats it to tiny, bloody pulps.
Cindertail loves being in the action, if she went full throttle against weaker enemies, it'd end too soon!
But I think my favorite explanation for game mechanics happening/hobbling my own character combo is R4V3R. She loves the action too. But she's not spectacularly powerful, having petered out just shy of being on the same level as her friends, giving her a slight inferiority complex. At the same time though, she has discovered the nature of her powers, and a way to boost them for a short time, and she's been able to create a suit that lets her extended that boost as long as needed. The only time I allow myself to use Medium or Large inspirations on her are either when she's used a boost, or in the suit. It limits her power, but Smalls and Domination go a long way. -
Marvels, welcome to the game, and don't take some frowny faced people too seriously (to be honest, don't take me too seriously either). This game can be a blast. You already did something great by coming to the forums and asking questions. Another good place to look for answers is "Paragon Wiki", the player run nexus of game info.

Mother Mayhem's current corruption is almost entirely herself, and in fact, can be said to have corrupted Tyrant even more, offering an easier and far more effective means at policing the populace's minds than propaganda ever could. Though in her defense, she was raised and trained to be a psychic soldier to fight the Hamidon, but that was almost assuredly done through a team of teachers and trainers of both genders.
Countess Crey, her corruption is her own greed and lust for power.
And Primal Vanessa De Vore, she's straight up evil, yet her only corruption is herself and the mind of Giovanna Scaldi, also a self corrupted woman. -
Drop a Singy or hover by an ATM in a tram station, and suddenly you're emptying out thousands of bucks.

It's actually starting to sound like a poor man's Incandescence.... can you Recall teammates while under Dimension Shift?
Anyway, it wouldn't be fully invulnerable, as others have stated, but pull it off right and you've got a decently long grace period for you and your team if things get super hectic.
Force Bubble -will- repel the Dimension Shifted enemies out, even if they get hit with the Immob, unless they're already protected from a mag 10 Repel. Enemies who are not stuck in place will attempt to close in on you, and the 50ft of Force Bubble won't do anything till they're inside the Dimension Shift, so they may be able to get an attack off in between FB pulses.
Hurricane would be the better choice, depending on how fast it pulses compared to Force Bubble and compared with Dimension Shift.
I actually want ta' see this done now... -
Yea, Grounded doesn't effect you unless you have no flight ability on you, and Titan Weapon's Tier 9 can only be used with your feet firmly planted on the ground.
Which is really sad, cause as the above poster said, TW has some awesome aerial visuals. -
My question is: why'd I get the Shard Cannon if I don't have Beam Rifle, don't want Beam Rifle, and don't plan on purchasing Beam Rifle?
The way I see it, I was jipped out of a card, and the Super Packs go against what the Devs originally stated Freedom would be about. Since Freedom, the only costume bundle I bought is the Club pack (Oh jeez those pants! Oh Jeez that hair!! I'M IN LOVE.), instead buying piecemeal the parts I wanted when I wanted them, mostly spur of the moment when an inspiration drives me into checking out a costume idea.
I don't use dual/team inspirations, I was sitting on somewhere north of 15k reward merits on my characters (cause I rarely ever even worry about IO'ing out a character, SO's and generics are fine by me), and Unslotters are like laughing about me behind my back. I bought the 12-pack because I am not holding my breath on the Devs giving the Elemental Order set as its own bundle (and only got one of the two pieces I really wanted out of it...).
Anyway, I've derailed enough. Devs, at least give the Shard Cannon to Pulse Rifle, Almighty-Sentient-Puddle knows they need some loving. If it's decided that other rifle sets can use it too, hey, it's more choice (which is what Freedom was supposed to be about *wink-wink, angry face*). -
Glad to see the itrials haven't destroyed your sense of humor/insanity.

I'm almost certain I'm a mid-range D.
I don't market with the intent of netting lots of inf, merely to get rid of stuff that dropped which I don't need and others may have use for. And I have no bids because I only buy when I plan on crafting it right then. SO's and generic IO's suit me just fine, though I am slowly finishing up my first real IO set build for my KM/WP Brute through hero merits and my vast storage of 500+ rare salvage I have stashed away across all my characters.
When a new character hits 50 these days, I just start iTrialing and shard hunting, and craft generics off whatever drops that they can use. -
I can find no kitty picture sad enough to express the epic levels of glum this is.
So I'm just gonna fill this post with frowny faces.

Uuuuhh, is it just me, or does the Martial Arts booster pic use some of the samurai art set pieces?
-Edit: Bah, beaten. S'what I get for double and triple checking, and pondering whether I should even post or not... -
I'll take a stab at this, shouldn't be too hard....
1: Isn't really a prediction, it's the opening for them.
2: Praetoria
3: I've got some ideas, but I think I'll sleep on them first.
4: Kheldians
5: Rularuu and the Shadow Shard
6: Cimerora
7: Nemesis/Mender Silos and Ouroboros
8: Architect Entertainment (and even a grim prediction of the bAEbies)
9: Very cryptic, but definite alludes to the 10 incarnate slots and drinking of the well.
10: Nemesis, pretty much saying the whole Rikti thing too
11: Arachnos, Lord Recluse, and his Lts Ghost Widow, Capt Mako, Black Scorpion, and Scirocco, also mentions how heroes will be able to access villain sets
12: Invention system, WW/BM, and Statesman Task Force
13:Just an ending -
Another Midlothian here (seriously? what are the odds??), was working in the kitchen at work when it happened. Customers in the lobby were freaking out. At most it was a loud rumble, but nothing vibration or sound wise worse than what you'd expect being near road work. It did knock out cell coverage for the area it seems, for about 20ish minutes.
It rates as a "meh" on my awesome meter. Maybe if I wasn't up to my eyes in food needing to be made with my coworkers spazzing out and a manager in a fetal position on the floor I could of enjoyed the event a little. -
Hopefully it won't have Malta come out in the open saying "HEY, WE'RE MALTA! WE'RE A SECRET BLACK-OPS ORGANIZATION, SO DON'T MESS WITH US!".... again.

Just so you know, this right here is called an oxymoron, because it's made of two parts that are opposites. And we don't really have enough data to work with, while anecdotal figures from the forums will be skewed because those who are upset are those who are tracking and talking, while those who are doing fine aren't saying much.
I believe you may have misinterpreted what I meant.
I didn't mean that because I've received nearly 100% common/uncommon tables, the system was biased.
I meant because the data is only coming from me, it is biased. And it is anecdotal because I have no proof beyond my word that it's what happened.
Now, with that being said, 3 more runs tonight netted me 2 more Uncommon and another Common.
The trials are fun and engaging. My friends are raving on about what they'll do with the slots, and it brought up a lot of great conversations. But every time I beat one, I am reminded how I may never get what I wish out of this system, because the character I picked to -enjoy- this endgame with appears to be shafted when it comes to rewards...
