Hopefully having a 20 hour debuff didn't chase too many players away and damage the game somehow.

And if the game does come to some harm, we can all just band together and blame NCSoft instead of pointing out that the constant bad design decisions and inflexibility were the real reasons this game tanked.

CoH forever!!!11!1!!1!

With Magic, humans could match the gods in power and create great empires. It is because of magic that the nation of Oranbega first came into existence 14 000 years ago. Judging by all of those Fire Thorn Casters, it seems to me like people wouldn't have had much need for someone to specifically teach them fire as separate from their magical abilities.

Why I ask this is that Ermeeth already WAS the City of Heroes Prometheus, and bring in a literal Prometheus just feel like telling the same story twice, not to mention that it puts the two gods' gifts in competition. The best I could guess is this goes is this goes along the lines of the Incarnate re-write where the source of super powers became abstract and the story tried to explain people being smart as them having some link to a source of potential. I guess you could argue that Prometheus gave humans "potential," but it just seems to me that Ermeeth got there first.

What I'm saying is that it was probably safer to have them be the way they are than for them to be otherwise. Pretty much the same reason why we don't have obvious blood splatter from defeated enemies. *shrugs*

They're wondering - what mouse/keyboard setup do you guys have at home?

You've got the basic Praetoria zones that range 1-20.
First Ward ranges from 20-29, this includes all story arcs and the -five- repeatable contacts.
Night Ward is 30-39. The initial contact, Mistress Maria, is 30-39. The following contacts in the chain are 31-39. The 2 repeatables, Atherton Cromwell and Sir Lionel, range from 30-39.

Fireball and Trilogy in Night Ward have a level range from 30 to 50. However, they are NOT repeatable contacts. They're what's called 'task pool' contacts. Rather than repeatables like Ephram Sha or Sir Lionel or Vickers who have about 3-6 different missions they give out randomly in pairs, Fireball and Trilogy have a list of missions they give out randomly. Once a mission is done it is -removed- from the pool so that you eventually empty the pool.

So, basically you can do repeatable missions in Nightward up to 39, then when you hit 40 you'll have Fireball and Trilogy left, but once you're done with their missions that's it.

What the majority of us are mad about is that (to keep your analogy) the free sample lady gives ONE taste of pizza to the first person to look at her... and everyone else gets told they can't have any because that guy just ate his. Nevermind the giant pizza behind her.

Wonder where the latter went when we were taking over Imperial City, since he may have had some mental influence over Chimera. Maybe I'm just reading too much into things.

Granted, some of them use borderline (or beyond-borderline) terrorist tactics, but even those Resistance members have the INTENT of freeing Praetoria even if their METHODS are a bit twisted.

When I have Tough toggled on...everytime I change my costume...I get the ridiculous animation and sound fx as if Tough was just toggled on.

OK, I'm actually going to bite and call them out on this.

They gave them the gloves, the bottoms, the top, everything else, but they seem to have omitted the boots. That's actually kind of absurd.

Yes, they've not been there since the set was first put on beta, but I honestly can't grasp why a rational decision was made to give the females every other part of that outfit, but not the boots.

Like I say, its more than a little absurd.

Also, I'm just happy to finally have bubble helmets and jetpacks.

I can't wait for cyber space pirate gear! (assuming that's the silhouette for rogue/vigilante superpacks)
