The only bug I don't hate is the one with using any power that calls the "Smashcast" animation while you have the Nemesis staff in hand.

I've been very slow to 'fix' that particular one.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, after reading the responses to this post, I have to ask, what does this bug do...? o.O

I have followed TCoSHR for a while now...I think I started reading it back when it was still in the first 10 chapters if not first 5...and I have to say, I love it. Never got around to posting before, but I enjoyed reading every chapter and it was always nice to check the thread and find a new chapter. I cannot wait for the sequel.

Points to the new site for me. Either they work *very* fast, or you've still got the DNS for the old site in your cache.

Ah yes...now it works. >.<

one change I know about is the building in TI that was where WW is now, I don't have any screenhots though

The theft of entire SGs (many, many) over the last few weeks entire stock of salvage on our server is evidence of the temptation of the upcoming auction houses. Salvage has gone from being a useful base commodity and empowerment buff fuel once forged into components, into something now so valuable that less scrupulous individual players may now be tempted to steal as much as they can get from their own SG mates. On one end of the spectrum, it was a player a member of the SG for almost 2 years. On the other end, a fairly new one in an SG with poor rank controls, the player now known (after coordinated player-motivated investigation) who actively looks for such SGs and passes the loot to his own SG. Yet such incidents have happened more times than I can count on one hand in the last 2 weeks on my server. I name no names, I violate no rules here. Wentworths awaits, and people are preparing.

[/ QUOTE ]

That is sad very sad. Espically since base salvage can't be used to make inventions.

You're not a badger or you'd know how difficult and challenging that truly is.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sleeping while your computer runs overnight is "difficult and challenging"?

I think you meant "time-consuming and inane."

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah you and every badge-hunter out there agrees with the epic badges, which most badgers have the same feeling about as you PvPers have about the arena, the badgers want them fixed. Anyway most badges are not like that. Most required active play and most can be gotten through normal play.

/e cry, I missed it and it was on my server.

Edit: BTW what time was this event held at on Guardian?

Im glad folks are finally starting to come around and see the truth of the matter.

Ive been preaching this for years amidst a sea of carebears

[/ QUOTE ]

Right there is something I hate about PvP. PvPers called PvEers carebears. I don't know why but I just hate when PvPers say that like its a bad thing that some people don't like PvP. I have yet to see a PvEer call a PvPer a "hatebear" or something to that effect. There are PvPers that don't help PvP much because of they way they act.

[ QUOTE ]
and PvE nuts that think PvE is the way to keep a playerbase around....thats simply is not true, because content is pretty much blasted through in days...

[/ QUOTE ]

True the content is done and done over. But for me teaming is the best thing in this game. each team is different weither we have team-wipes or if we blow through mishs it is fun for me.

[ QUOTE ]
I actually do want to understand what enjoyment people get from badges. Maybe I am missing out on something. For me, the act of PvP is fun. I am having fun when I hit someone with a fireblast while bunny hopping. I also find baseball fun to play. The act of swinging a bat at a thrown ball and trying to hit it solidly is fun.

This is different from how I perceive people enjoy badges. I don't really think anyone thinks the act of clicking on a RV base terminal is fun. I don't think many think the act of using an attack on 1000 monkeys in a row is fun. My perception is that people feel a sense of accomplishment when they get a badge or look at their badge list.

My bottom line for games is "how fun is it?" Achieving goals is good but only if I am having fun in the process. So to me it seems like people that are avid badge hunters enjoy the sense of accomplishment but never actually have fun.

And this seems to be confirmed in my conversations with friends who do collect badges. They heal farm for the empath badge but view the requirement for the badge as a tedious obstruction.

Am I not understanding something?

[/ QUOTE ]

I like badges because it is to me fun. Some badges I will not get because they are not fun to get. I think people who collect badges like the feeling of accomplishment, weither they farmed a badge or not, weither they spent hours upon hours for in RCS, it is fun to them.

[ QUOTE ]
And I never understood the reasons for badge hunting after I got tired of it. Badges do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for you. At least in games with loot, the loot does something for you obviously. But the only "loot" or collectible things in this game are badges atm, until I9, and they do nothing for you. The only badges that actually benefit you are gladiators, but gladiator PvP is a joke. I can never understand why people badge hunt unless they are getting the accolades. The obvious is of course obsession, but do these hardcore badgers really ever step back and look at the uselessness of these badges?

[/ QUOTE ]

I like collecting most badges, except the stupidily hard to get ones. However, you don't have much room to talk. I as a badger could say, when are you going to see the pointlessness of beating each other silly? Of course I understand everyone has their likes and dislikes. PvP is not my cup of tea, because whenever I'm in a zone I'm almost always on the side outnumbered 2 to 1. Who knows, once I get my first 50, I may stop badging and learn more about PvP. BUt anyway, at least at the moment the PvP zones on most servers are dead except if you get lucky or an event is going on, so I'll just wait and see if PvP picks up steam.

How did you get that screenie if it wasnt a modified picture?

Viridian's arc ftw.

Is that in CoV or CoH? And what lvl range is it in?

The reason you can only pulish to hypercomics is that you don't have the full version, or at least that is what I've been told.

try taking screenshots of pieces of them then.

Well one way you could get it on photobucket is by taking screenshots of the pages and then posting them on Photobucket.

I don't have the plug-ins so I can't view my own comic on the web page, it's kinda funny. Anyone elce have that problem?

Anyway here's the link where I think the comic is posted could someone just conferm for me that the comic is viewable before I send it off to the contest entry. http://www.hypercomics.com/comicbook...ral_shark_2944

Note: I don't actully think I'll win with that but it was fun to make despite the debt I got myself in and I never even tried to enter one of these contests before so I thought I might get lucky.

[/ QUOTE ]

It works, however, I can't see the whole pages, there are parts of it that are cut off.

[/ QUOTE ] There should be scroll bars on the side and bottom of the thing. (at least that's how it looked when I was making it) other than that I have no idea how I'd even begine to fix that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, there is no way for me to see the other parts of the pages, I haven't downloaded the comic book creator yet, so I don't know how you would fix that, maybe someone who know how to will come along. If they don't I'll most likely be downloading the creator this weekend so I may be able to find out what is wrong

This sounds interesting and fun. I don't usually do this type of stuff, however I may enter.

LightHouse I do have a few questions. First, does it need to be an entire story? What I mean by this, does the story have to conclude within 8 pages, or could it end with "To Be Continued"? Also, are we allowed to get help from other players? For my story, I would need access to Keldians, however, I have yet to reach 50. Last, as long as we don't mention any copyrighted stuff, can we mention things outside of CoH/CoV? Example, for my comic book, the main hero will have come from a different dimension. This is my first time entering any contests like this, and I want to make sure I do it right.

Interesting article.

Good guide. I recently farmed rep. So, I'll post the way I did it as long as you don't mind. First, there was someone else on my server that was farming rep at the time. He used "his girl's" account to farm it on one of his heroes. We went to a remote place in Warburg, not going to tell where as would-be-griefers who read this thread would now where to look, and he logged into about 5 to 6 heroes or villians per account(his and his girl's). It took about 4 to 5 hours, I was getting about 20 rep per minute and now I'm the proud owner of a new shiney(only about 110 more to go). Oh and each character was full of awakens so you could just log out right after I killed him and when he logged back in, he would rez as long as the rep timer was spent. If you use this method, do not rez till the rep timer is used up. Also, use /hide. We were never, ever bothered. Hope this helps.

...I have witnessed a team of 2 MMs defeat a mob of 3 AVs in Recluse Victory. Properly built, an MM can unleash more pain than any other AT. That is the reason MMs have the least amount of HP in the game...

[/ QUOTE ]

O.O What powersets? I mean I just came from fighting the LR and all his buddies adn it took 20 people and shivans. I would like to know how 2 MMs could take out 3 AVs.

Anyway, back on topic. I really don't think that shivans or nukes should be nerfed. I have been on AV team and the only reason an 8 person tema was able to get the AV killed was through using a shivans. Please do nerf shivnas for the very small mijority that the OP represents. If anything limit the recipe reward to once a day.

...Also the sewer trial may need attention as you can be level 50 fighting greys throughout on it (barring about 15 seconds while you grab a cannon) and do it comfortably in 30 mins, I did for the badges...

[/ QUOTE ]

No, please don't change this TF. It is insane any other way. It took an hour using this method.

[/ QUOTE ]
I really agree with this. That trial is so out of whack now. There is no way I would do it without exploiting now. The reward for the time investment is just not worth it since they nerfed the kraken babies.

[/ QUOTE ]

They nerfed the kraken babies? or do you mean buffed them? No matter what they either need to keep teh TF as is, or get rid of at least 3, if not all 4, of the monsters. There are plenty of rikti to creat a challange.

And we are planning on attaching rares to these trials? My complaint about attaching these things to them (As Brainstorm said) is that I can complete these things WAY faster then any team can. I did in fact solo the City of Villains COV respec trial with my Brute in less then 25 minutes. (I think it was just a little over 19 minutes) Other SFs I've all soloed in COV in less then 30-40 minutes.

Ultimately, this means that if any of these Trials/TFs have rare recipes/salvage it will become VERY common by farmers. All a person needs is either a couple friends or dummy accounts to start the SF/Trial. Remember, Brainstorm also said that there is no specific enhancers tied to a SF/Trial. This means pick the easiest one and farm it with a single character.

I hate to say it but this means we need to either buff Arch Villains where they cannot be soloed anymore or limit Shivans/Nukes to PVP zones.

[/ QUOTE ]

Didn't people already get mad at you for bringing up soloing AVs? Anyway, _Castle_ has said that the shivans and nukes will get less powerful eventually. Also, not everyong can solo TF/SF/Trials that fast. most, if not all, of the ones in CoH would at least take an hour with all the travel time included.

No, hours upon hours of playing EverQuest and PlanetSide did that (not to mention all those other games that I shouldn't mention, cause well these are the CoH forums). But then, I don't design the game, so you are safe!

Let's remember ... These are the City of Heroes Forums.

For talking about City of Heroes.
