  1. Hey there,

    As a big fan of the Statesman TF i am willing to take the most risky role in that task force for a long time. From what i see, hear and know Stone/* build is a win/win situation for tanking Lord Recluse. People say second best is Invulnerability. Other tanks situation mostly depends on buffs they recieve they say.

    As Willpower is the easiest set to play for me i tried to make following build gather as much Defense from sets i can think of. Also wanted to up damage if possible to make end use a bit easier as Stone Melee is really end heavy even for a WP tanker.

    Only problem maybe taking Fly instead of Leaping/Combat Jumping on the following build but i find Fly Swiss Army Knife of all travel powers.

    Enough chatter here is the build:

    A big Thanks to all that teamed with Gas Mantle, Reefy Swordswoman, Reefy Blaster and Evil One.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    So, No thanks for us who teamed up with Mereman

    Nice to know you had a great time mate. My weekend was also very nice. I did many TFs. Only 3 on Sunday (ITF, STF, Synapse ) and i guess that alone makes me deserve the nick name some folks used sometimes, TF [censored].

    So i also want to thank again Stryke, Mr. Marvelous, Defcon Kid, Armour Man and all others who did those events fun. But i think most important one is Salacious for setting up that great channel and all the players in it whose're making me love the game and community more.
  3. Statesman TF alone is enough for me to push a hero to max level. Before there was STF, i didn't bother to play many heroes past 30. Now if i trust in my hero i push him much further to take part in that nice TF.

    As i said before Golden Angel, if you ever need help with anything in game, including filling gaps for TFs just give me a shout.
  4. Hmmm... You know what, my friend. Butik has a good point. As all of you on my globals other than you and me, i barely see others online. So if i don't get it wrong this team is one of the things keep them attached to the game.

    Yeah that tank of mine is became too much hassle for me and for the team both. (Next time we start a team i better make a tank from the start )

    In the end we have a choice for a tank at least, Mister Twinkle. Even he is from another SG (Mister and Mister, yay )i don't have any problem playing with him. He's such an eye candy if you noticed. Seeing his bulging muscles moving under the smooth fabric of his grey suit... *ehem* well as i said i have no problem with playing with him.

    On leveling too fast matter, I'll say it will do me a favor (don't know how much a favor it will do for you tho'); we can move forward from Faultline to Croatoa, skipping Striga (where i hate too much) don't sounds that bad.

    This weekend let's start with bank missions and get our temp Team Teleport powers and continue Faultline Arc and finish it. If this don't get us level 30 we can do Citadel TF next week which is fairly short.

    On coming weeks we can do Croatoa arc at our pace and can start RWZ missions.

    Oh! Did anyone see Velinia online? I hope she is feeling better now.

    PS: Also as my Inv tanks turned out as disasters i can re-build my favorite one; WP/Stone and level him to 20-21 in coming days without hassle as WP tanks are easy to solo.

    So let's vote and see what we will do this weekend.

    I vote to play and skip Striga

    Why should a new player, even if they're on a trial account, be restricted from taking part in the forum community just because one or two morons are making waves?

    If people just didn't respond to the trolls, they'd eventually go away out of boredom.

    /unsigned

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Exactly. Trial account users have enough restrictions in game because of certian kind of people. No need to further hinder new people and give them a cold feet about CoX.

    Also even some kind of immature person make that kind of posts, i don't see any need of replying his nonsense and make him bark one more time.

    GhostRaptor clears that posts as soon as he spots them anyway.

    So another /unsigned from me too.
  6. Sure, whatever you feel like you want to play on that certain date. I have a feeling you want to enter ITF with your other characters as well. Cossie pieces and weapon styles are so nice you want them on your every character.

    Also MS Raids regularly done thanks to Mother's Love. Vanguard gloves and boots are the best costume pieces (Also i want Valkyrie boots but that have to wait a bit).

    As you see from this thread (which turned our private chatting room ) posting these events in the forums is useless. If you feel like doing a TF, just shout me in game and we can start it thanks to Sal's channel.
  7. I am really glad we did it. We had a such wonderful team. Thanks all the guys from Sal's Badgehunters channel, you're absolutely amazing.

    With that lag, taking down AVs in couples, having a rad troller to back up tank as healer, two first timers in team... Other than lag i have no doubt in us. I must admit i questioned Apostle's effectiveness a bit. This is why i entered melee with AVs after some time.

    I hope that made a good welcome back gift to you, Mr. M. Next time i will take you to the Cimerora. Short TF but nice cossie pieces and great fun we will get.
  8. **Update**

    As i said Stryke on Saturday, i finally managed to get "Chinese Ambassador and Malta" mission from Crimson. As i have his book opened i will continue carefully to get mission we need.

  9. That was nice to have you along Mr. M. I am planning to get DM to 21.

    Also it was nice to have Primaxi on board. I was little worried about leaving Midnight Curse behind but thanks to Principal now we have another good support character in team.

    I managed to get Midnight Curse to level 21 thanks to the Synapse TF i did last night. He will be one of the heroes i will focus next week. Between you and me, i am overjoyed with him. He became what i expect from a controller, a multi-task tool. Need some more attacks tho.

    Anyway as my weak memory skipped the detail of asking everyone about this weekend, i think it will be better to give us a one week break.

    See you next week.

    Knightly
  10. Nice to know you have your scrapper going.

    As Cynic said, in a case of respec you can leave Mind over Body later 20 and get IW instead. Especially if you want to attend TFs before level 20 like Positron or Synapse... maybe Caverns Trial.

    Returning.

    [ QUOTE ]
    Out of interest, what with lots of people saying goodbye and what seems like an equal amount of people returning what were your reasons for coming back???

    Im writing a book on this (not really)

    Was it personal?
    Were you on a nother MMO?
    Did you miss us?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Okay my come backs was in past but i can give you my reasons:

    My first leave was because i suddenly felt nothing in this game attarcts me anymore, became more easily to offend and by that time i decided to play DDO. I enjoyed DDO very much but during that i logged into CoH one night and felt the thrill in the Outbreak when i felt the very first day i felt in this game. So renewed my sub.

    My second break was because of the lag. We were going good with a nice regular team, have friends around etc. etc. Also uninstalled CoH from my computer. Few weeks back i re-installed CoH (well that downloading time was a hell i must admit) with still fear in my heart that i can't play because of lag. Luckily there is no lag for me at all now. Even in ITF i have a little annoyance.

    Let me tell you the thing that impressed me deeply during my absence periods. Whenever i come back on my first log in i recieved tells from my global friends. Asking me where was i, how am i...

    So in the end, I know Golden Girl is right. If i leave this game in future as long as i have friends in here i will come back. In some sense of word this game feels like home.
  13. I decided not to post/start Task Force/Trial threads after my return.

    For celebrating Mr. Marvellous return, i am offering a Statesman Task Force, best Task Force in the game.

    18th Jan 2009, Sunday at 14:00 GMT

    As if you already don't know the details here they are:

    Statesman Task Force
    Level Range: 45-50
    Number of Team Members: 8
    Starting Point: Independence Port
    Badges: Ummm i don't care about badges so i don't know but you will get some i am sure.

    If you are interested please leave your Global Name, Character Name, AT, Sets and Level.

    I have two heroes available for this:
    Psy-knight level 50 Mind/Rad/Stone controller
    Stalwart Apostle level 45 Nrg/Elec/Force blaster

    See you in there,

    Have Fun,

    Knightly

    I miss......

    I think i am enjoying game more now. Having good friends around to chat if i have nothing to do or rolling a new alt, even i know i will delete him before even he gets his travel power, just to enjoy the thrill of low level adventures.

    I think a bit to remember something i miss and only thing i came up with is;

    TF/Trial threads in forums. Thanks to Sal and his channel people are making TF/Trials every minute of the day (heh every night i say game good night from ITF ) but i still miss that feeling of special meeting day on weekend you look forward to. That started with Marvelous Family TF events when i was trying to get into game with my first character, Knightly Defender.

    I know i can start a thread for a TF/Trial anytime but also i know i won't get many replies. Anyway acting is better than whining so watch me on Union...
  15. Knightly

    Returning.

    Welcome back, Golden Angel.

    If you need help with anything on Union just give me a shout from @Knightly.

    Hope you enjoy your stay.

    In answer to question one, "yes"

    *makes his happy dance*
  17. Wheeeee!

    Welcome back Mr.M, i hope we can catch some TFs or Trials again.
  18. I'm afraid news doesn't bright on my side.

    Psy-knight. cleared old arcs in past few days also after left one arc open started to continue Crimson Arc. Now i don't know for certain but only yellow contact is in his list is Crimson and Crimson's contact progress bar filled without any arc given.

    Stalwart Apostle also trying to reach Crimson but as both Psy and him are science heroes i think getting Crimson is more tricky. Indigo (According to Wikia) is one of the contacts that direct your hero to Crimson but instead she gave me someone named Agnus Dagnabit or something like that. If i recall correctly i recieved Crimson from an PI contact on Psy. Or simply it is because of his level (currently level 45 atm).

    There are some solutions in my mind tho'. Some questions i have:

    1- As Psy has Crimson as a contact can he get his arc from Ouroburos?
    2- If I keep doing radio missions with Apostle is it possible for detective to direct him to Crimson?

    Anyway as we have two weeks before us i will get Crimson Arc on Apostle on way or another.

    PS: As a TF/Regular Team planner i can understand your frustration very well. Please don't let that shade your enjoyment from this event. Heh in worst scenario we can make a big Synapse TF event and fill Skyway with Babbages.
  19. QR:

    I can hear you, Scarlet. This is why i never thought about pact. I delete my most characters between level range 12-30. That only alone give me a cold feet on pacts (also SG idea).

    So for now, CoH with leveling pact or not makes no difference for me but i know there are some people who loves it.
  20. Oh Midnight Curse already did that, including entering the club.

    Desert Marauder still need to start that arc... also need to level up a bit, he is still level 13 &gt;.&lt;

    Normally i wouldn't let him down but nowadays i am trying to get ready Psy or Apostle for Stryke's event on Sunday (If i can find time from ITFs, i need to be more determined. TFs are my weak spots ). Also Mister Twinkle surely will give us a hand if we need it.

    Possibly but having come quite attached to my main toons names after a few years I would really really hate to lose them...

    Anyway, every single time a server merge has come up we've been told that it's not on the agenda. I really don't know why people keep bringing it up.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I don't like the idea of Psy-knight's name slipping thru my fingers but as GR said if there will be a merge (EU servers or EU/US) i am sure devs will come up with a good solution.

    At worst they can use DDO style and i will have Psy-knight Union.

    Oh i know it is still open but its fate is sealed already. This is why i mentioned it as closed down.
  23. Actually i need more costume slots after completing Mothership raids and Imperious TF. I like Vanguard boots and gloves and chest pieces from ITF. Ummm but they don't go well with my gypsy or desert themed tank.

    Now let me refresh my memory about short TFs. So we can put them down here and complete it when they come to our way.

    1- Moonfire
    2- Katie Hannon
    3- Imperious
    4- Numina???

    Also here's the list of TFs i don't planning to run on our sessions:
    1- Positron
    2- SSTF 1
    3- Citadel

    As first two are too long. For last one i have a special hate. I hate Council caves.

    To be frank, anything that isn't discussing CoH/CoV is a bit off topic. Think we should get back to the issue in hand before the thread gets zapped

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Meeek... i mean it about life in general not for CoX Forums.

    Anyway, if we return to the matter at hand, there are less succesful (not in content but in playerbase population) MMOs around and they are still going on.

    At first an unclear declaration from GR got me a bit worried as FFM but after everything cleared there is nothing to discuss left.

    If there will be server merge or closing of EU part of CoX i don't think we have so much to say about it. Auto Assault and Tabula Rasa closed down wheter players like it or not. If they'll close down EU part, if you love the game you will follow it through the other shore. It is that easy in my opinion.
