    hmmm once I get home im going to do a lot more, but I fixed my origional and added The CoH banner; It look better?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I like the original. I don't add the COH or COV logos to any of mine because, well, I already know what game I'm booting, and most of the time it just screws the screenshot up.

    Maybe the logos could go in the black bar at the top, like in this image.

    That would be a fairly simple little program to code (if you're a programmer), although it would be on a certain interval. It would most likely not be possible to check when you logged out, but other than that...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Ah, but it's quite possible to check when you log in. Replace the icon you use to start COH with a small program that puts a random coh.texture in the right directory and then starts CohUpdater, and you'll have a new screen every time you start the game.
  3. I posted this in the General COH forums, and then I realized it was probably more at home here. Take a look:

    Any hope of this event being made interesting instead of the pitifully dull, repetitive, unoriginal, unimaginative thing it is currently?

    Any hope of you taking your criticism of an event a lot of people like and taking it elsewhere?
  5. Funnily enough, I never noticed the invasions were turned off.

    On Freedom, the last 3 I saw:

    08-13-2007 21:26:40 [Admin]WARNING: Rikti ships have been detected heading for Skyway City.

    08-14-2007 00:44:22 [Admin]WARNING: Rikti ships have been detected heading for Peregrine Island.

    08-14-2007 01:51:00 [Admin]WARNING: Rikti ships have been detected heading for Sharkhead Isle.
  6. Eep! My SG base is in there!

    I'm a happy troller now.

    If you could pay Cryptic a one-time fee of $500 for every single veteran reward, kheldian access and 50 million influence/infamy... would you do it?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Did you say all veteran badges? Hmmm... toss in Celebrant (which I missed on my current main because I didn't get into badges until later) and you got yourself a deal.

    ...lousy retroactive badges killing my badge count...
  8. That's a great comic, Chase! If you still need a Vanguard set pic, toss me a PM. We can meet on the Test server so you can take the pic, or I can take one myself, your call
  9. I only picked GI so I could slot a LotG recharge proc in it. I never use the power. Then again in another controller I five-slotted Brawl so I could get the Crushing Impact recharge bonus, so...

    Whatever the exact nature of the exploit it seems incredible that the Devs couldn't have figured out -some- kind of fix or workaround to that by now. Even if they had to do a major redesign or scale back of functionality it seems that could have been done by now.

    Can't they just rework the damn thing to be an 8-man TF/Trial and be done with it? With all the IO set bonuses nowadays, the IOPs have pretty much lost their appeal. I don't know anyone willing to risk their base being blown up in a "real" raid just because of an extra 5% damage or somesuch.

    Base raids can still happen and be fun, but the whole "destroy my base to steal my IOP" mechanic should be forgotten. Ditch scheduled raids. Make the COP an 8-man trial that awards a non-tradable RECIPE for an IOP, which requires salvage drops only available in the trial. Then your SG can run it as many times as needed, and then craft the IOP they want for their base.
  11. Here's mine. It's still a work in progress; I demolished the old base last week and I'm still decorating the new one. 8x8 plot.

  12. Linked from ParagonWiki. Can't believe nobody had before.
  13. Meh. My rad defender's been beating GMs up (with shivans) for a long time. Nothing special here.
  14. Well, I created a MySpace account just to add COH as a friend. I'll probably never bother visiting it after this, but the way I see it, the more people befriend COH, the better chances someone browsing MySpace and looking for a new MMO will try it.
  15. While I won't bash i9 and the invention system, my main thought when thinking of it is, "good, with that out of the way they can start making new story content for i10".

    The STF is new content, but entirely too short and since I don't care about the loot, I don't have a reason to run it repeatedly. And the new Hamidon encounter doesn't count; the way to take him down has changed, but the entire backstory remains the same, so no new story content there.
  16. I think there's an error in this crossword puzzle, unless I'm not getting the definition right. 21 down is "699 in Rome", with 4 letters. But 699 in roman numerals is DC XC IX...

    Also, Leandro, did you try anything involving the costumes you can invent?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yep, I tried all the boot names (because there's a "O" near the end) but nothing fitted. hmm.

    I got __A_N__O__
  18. I'm still stuck at 17 across. 'Invented Inventions'. Only one I have left. Hint?

    "Stupidity" and "Invincible pre-SOs" don't fit, so I have no idea

    Think leadership pool. Very useful for RSF/STF.

    I haven't the first clue what 15 across is supposed to be.
    "When someone breaks the rules", and I have _ e _ i _ i _ _.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It's a slash command you use. I personally would have defined it "When you get stuck and need GM help."
