    Question

    Yes I do, but that's only because I started playing when there was only the US game.

    I would only move back to the US servers voluntarily if my job changed back to where I was playing US hours again (ie I used to log on around 1am our time) and I could play with my old SG again.
  2. Yep. I took my Ma/Regen to 50 and never once considered getting old-style MoG. Didn't like the way it worked, didn't need it. If I make another /Regen, though, I would most likely take MoG purely for taking the Alpha.

    Oh, and I don't think melee ATs are anywhere near becoming obsolete. Just to be on topic

    It's unfair because people are gettign given something Free that others are paying for through no fault of NCSoft.

    Perhaps I should change my billing to maestro just to get some free game time?

    Or, it could be an apology for the way the announcing (or rather not) of the problem was handled? No disrespect to GR, he did a good job finding out what was going on once the problem had come to light. But the fact that the first most people knew about it was when a player posted on the boards, and many people had no advance warning to make alternate arrangements, seems to me to make a little free game time a nice gesture.
  4. Most of the Trial restrictions seem fair enough, but I have to agree that not being able to reply to Tells seems too restrictive and really isn't needed.

    Of course, it may be technically very hard to set things up so that Tells can be replyed to but not initiated, but if it can be done, it should.

    LOL. I got to ask. Why in the world would u use a punch on a lvl 47 blaster who (probably) have gazillion attack powers?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Because, on those occasions when you have a high level enemy down to just a sliver of health, there's nothing more humiliating for them than to be finished off by a good old-fashioned punch

  7. Personally, I think you have left Whirlwind far too late in the build. Other than that, an excellent guide, and one I am sure will do much to increase the pitifully small number of Fire/Kins in game.

    PUG Fun!

    Yep, have to say that more often than not PuGing turns out to be fun for me. Even with the low-level group I was in yesterday, where we had trouble going five minutes without several people dying. Because we died in a fun way
  9. Bah, I'm still in the 80s, and Berlin did far better songs than Take My Breath Away.

    Anyway, obviously what they really need at the party is plenty of Swing. Nothing gets the joint jumping like a bit of Basie!

    Mind you, I'd love to see that giant Council Mech set loose on Striga.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Or a Council Mech vs Kronos Titan destroying downtown Founders...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    But then we would have to have a giant Nemesis steampunk bot joing in the battle...

    [/ QUOTE ]
    That would be awesome - we must get that added - a giant robot rumble zone

    [/ QUOTE ]

    And we could all stand around the edge shouting 'Pit Pit Pit Pit'
  11. I thought the section on PvP was highly accurate
  12. You know, that has me wondering about the real reason FFM is looking to shed a few pounds....

    Also, why do I get the impression that most of those costumes are what they would have come up with without any prompting, even if they weren't making the vid?

    Another thing occurred to me as well - how exactly do you SAY 'Sands of Mu?' Is it 'Mu' as in cat noise (mew) or Mu as in cow noise (moo)?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Hey, I just go with the KLF on this. After all, they are justified and ancient...


    edited to add:

    The actual 'lost continent' of Mu has nothing to do with Greek, (it's a much later concept than Atlantis, coming about at around the same time as the ideas of Lemuria in the 19th Century) and I've always heard it pronounced as 'moo'
  14. Fix it so that, when I log-in a Union character it doesn't reshuffle my Defiant ones (and vice-versa).

    If it could be done without huge lag hassle, get rid of costume delay so I can make a proper magical-girl transformation sequence

    Make Hero contacts give you their phone numbers earlier!

    A Defender who can heal can be a MUST for a teams survival, ofcouse a bubbler or TA can too, but it's mainly healing that will be required...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah because, you know, it's the small PBAoE Heal that my Rad uses that makes the set such a winner...
  16. Off the top of my head I have TP on 3 characters. Flight on 4. SJ on 3. SS on 1. And no travel power at all on 2.

    Of the many alts that are sitting around waiting for me to get them over 14, I'd say a quarter will be taking TP. It would be nice if you didn't have to put so many slots into it, but I like it.

    Yes it is a FORM of world PvP. you cant integrate the two communities and not expect some form of conflict (conflict between two playable character by definition = PvP).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Thing is, the PvE majority outnumber the PvP minority. Another reason why I can't see such a thing happening. Not enough people PvP for the Devs to make this game World PvPish.

    Oh, and when people do actually make threats that they'll quit the game, they're usually empty threats.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Mine isn't. If this game were changed so that a player villain could attack me in King's Row then I'd quit right there.

    That's not the game I pay for or enjoy.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I hate the idea of world PvP too (the lack of it was one of the main things that drew me to CoH), but to be fair I believe the suggestion was that PvP could only be initiated by people on the right side. That is, a lvl 50 villain in Paragon couldn't attack heroes, but could be attacked by them.

    Which I suppose would be just about bearable, although frankly I could see it ending up like GMs: hey, there's a Villain in KR, anyone want to fight him? No? Ok then...
  18. Whilst Brutes are good, I prefer my Scrappers because they have more style. Not having to worry about about Fury I can do fun stuff like jumping on tables to Crane Kick those giant Council guys right in the head

    powers you like?

    I'd like to see a cloak-based power set. Wrap your enemy in your cloak and beat on them; trip enemies with your cloak, have them walk onto the trailing edge of your cloak and then suddenly dash forward, make them attack your cloak, not you, wrap your cloak around your head so you can't be attacked by ravenous bugblatter beasts -- small things like that.

    Also, a power-set based around skintight spandex and cleavage.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Lay your cloak over a puddle, then whip it away so they get their feet wet?
  20. 'You're the Swede, you tell us'
  21. Depends on character concept. Took SoM on my Dark/Dark Scrapper just so that, for a brief time, I could have three Shadow Mauls
  22. Kiken

    powers you like?

    How about the power...to move you?

    Or whips. I'd quite like a whip-based melee set.
  23. How do you judge? My Elec/Elec Blaster storms through missions that my Ar/Dev struggles with. My Inv/EM Tanker solos stuff much safer than my MA/SR Scrapper, but much more slowly. It's far too sweeping a statement to say that 'this is what a Blaster can do'.
  24. I have some advice for farmers.

    Diversify now, before the EU cut the CAP sunsidies.
