get back on and everyone is gone, what is going on?!?

people ask the question...what's a rock n rolla .... and i tell 'em

ouch, I've been having the worst time with ATI cards over the past week, and not just with coh, just windows in general, i broke down and bought a nvidia yesterday. after about 3 hours of removing the ati stuff i'm back up and running. did you make any changes to your drivers or did you install a new card?

i'm on right now, i dunno how i like it so far. seems kinda slow. feels real slow actually. the toons that r running around right now look amazing though. tutorial seemed really long. granted by the time i got the game updated i had a few drinks but 2+ hours for instructions seems a bit excessive in any state of mind.

anyway i'm camelzigzag if you need a teammate but i'm only like lvl 6 i think.

Az what kinda vid card r u using?

i'm in

I've got my drink and my 2 step and it's on

Subjective

I think the merits are great idea or at least a start. The diminishing returns are counter productive to what seems to be a reasonable way to obtain enhancements at a faster rate. If I run an ITF and finish it at 11:30pm and come home the next day and run it again, finish at 10:30 or 11, I feel like I'm being punished because of 2 things, ITF is the FOTM for TF's and I am having fun playing a particular toon. I'm not sure why the "Cannot choose reward for at least 3 hours" rule was changed to 24 hours, but it's very frustrating. I know that there are plenty of TF's to do, but you have a larger pool of people to play with when deciding to run ITFs and/or LGTFs. On a side note, why narrow that pool by "fixing LGTFs?"

Merits and recipes should be selectable rewards just like on a STF or LRSF. Pick which you would rather have, and if everyone is so worried about KTF farms then make that one the exception. 24 hours per TF per Toon is not fun either. I don't like having to swap toons because I won't get the proper reward if I want to run that same TF later that day or night.

Finally, don't bribe us with merit rewards for TFs that are long and boring. Lets face it the Shard and Posi TFs weren't being avoided because they were so fun. That's something data mining won't tell you. There isn't anything about them that's appealing and slapping a big reward for them at the end isn't going to change the amount of fun being had on them. The only reason I have fun doing them is because of the people I'm with, certainly not the intriguing story or the great defeat all annoyingly over powered foes.

Other wise great idea, just needs some tweeking. I'm curios to how much purple sets will be if they are ever added.

wow, very impressive. i'm still working on my ill/storm that was inspired by your last guide/videos. definately one of the more toons to play in my line up. thanx for the info.

Ok this is my first guide and i did it cuz i had higher lvl toons that needed/wanted the IO badges and didn't have the salvage ofcourse to get them all. This guide is not the cheapest route to get the badges either mind you. I either got what i was going to need or what looked easiest to get as far as ingredients.

For every type of invention set there are diff. lvls of the badge lvl 10, lvl 15 & 20, lvl 25 & 30, lvl 35 & 40 and lvl 45 & 50.

I have listed how many u need and what u need for each 5 lvl block. I hope this helps speeds the badge collecting up a bit and lemme know how i did.
