    Fixed that for you.

    Just because you would be quite happy being one of seventy 'Fire Smashers', doesn't mean other people would. Would you also enjoy reading a comic where all the X-Men were called Cyclops?

    I don't know if they are still active (I moved over to the EU from the US) but when CoH started the Paragons of Justice had a 25+ policy. With most players being rather older. You could maybe try checking them through the Justice server page, if you don't find anything else.
  3. I know there are a number of players in their 50s out there, but obviously I'm too polite to name names.

    I'm just glad that they are there, to make me look young at 41

    Or, of course, they could just get together and make their own teams. Seeing as there will be so many of them without.
  5. Strangly, after reading this post this morning, I then went on to have a radio mission in Faultline where the door was actually the AE mission access.
  6. All I can do is to echo what has been said here. After all, it's one thing knowing you are doing a good job. It's another actually getting told that it's appreciated. So, good job.




    Now keep it up!

  8. Or, of course, if you really want those lvl 50s for your top level play, but still want bonuses when you exemp....you can always slot lower level sets in a second build. More expensive, I know, but having your cake and eating it generally is

    The reason it was confusing is because the line in the patch notes say:

    "Exemplars will now earn XP and a level capped person will get XP converted into influence like exemplars used to."

    So.... what's the difference between an "exemplared" person and a "level capped" person? Once you're exemplared down, aren't you by DEFINITION level capped to the level of the person owning the mission?

    I is confuzzled.
    I believe by level capped, in this instance, they mean 50
  10. Obviously, nobody who isn't suicidal wants to risk getting busted...
  11. I already had Brawl 6 slotted on my Tanker....

    Boys and girls

    I play both, with the current roster having more females. (Although as alts get deleted and new ones made, that changes over time.)

    50s are an even split...but due to chronic altitis that only means 2 male and 2 female

    Up until level 12, I slot TOs that I find. I don't actually PURCHASE any though.
    From 12 - 21 I slot DOs
    From 22 - 31 I slot SOs
    From 32+ I start moving over to IOs as I can afford them.
    I do the same as this. Except I don't buy the DOs and SOs with Inf. Doing an MA arc every 5 levels and buying them with tickets helps save that Inf for when you start buying IOs.

    Lies! So long as I draw breath, there will always be a little corner of the 80s still alive.

There are quite a few who want to at least get to 20 so they can get stamina and not have to rest between battles. They want a fast-paced game, not a sit-in.

    Maybe some people will. But for me, I'm going to be so glad that it will be easier to make teams without needing to worry about who needs an sk or who isn't getting xp because they are exemped.

    You are missing people who can't make automatically scheduled payments.
  17. I'd like to see the Drink emote expanded to include different objects. Wine glass, cocktail glass, can. After all, they have different foods for the Eat emote.

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
  19. The Freedom Phalanx can't be trusted with a headquarters. They didn't look after the last one they had properly.
  20. Today I learnt that I don't have a costume good enough to win Inf

    But not as much fun as stripping naked and painting somebody else purple.
  22. Sorry, it's the hat or a talking backpack.


    The rifle just isn't an option.
  23. The only way I'd accept any form of PvP in the PvE zones is if I could opt out of it. Completely.

    Zone invasion? If I'm not flagged to take part, I'm untargettable and can get on with doing my missions.

    Dueling? As above. And having someone ask me to duel more than twice when I'm unflagged, in any chat channel, in any form, gets them an automatic 3 day ban on petitioning.

    As long as I get to ignore it pretty much entirely, unless I feel like it, I'm all for PvP. Which, funnily enough, is exactly how the game stands now.
