    It's a nice little movie from the 1980s which cast Lea Thompson (from the Back to the Future films, among other projects) in a romantic role.

    You should rent it. Really.

    Farms are generally found outside cities, as they require a good deal of land.
  3. My own guidelines:

    Early Game: 1 - 21 (based on Stamina, a lot of my characters don't take it til 22)
    Mid Game: 22 - 40
    Late Game: 41 - 49 (Epic/ Patron pool availability)
    End Game: 50 (no more xp earned)

    Hmm... as a non-ebil non-marketeer, I have my own question along this line, which I'll toss in here.

    How many marketeers are there that do more than dabble in these? I'd think that they'd would be more likely to deal in commodities that are more readily available.

    Of course, what do I know? For the most part, I'm a member of the "I want it now" (or I'll do without) crowd.

    Yes, that was amusing even if unsurprising.
  6. I've been watching the Stargate SG-1 DVDs recently, and I just want to emulate the heroic Col. Jack O'Neill who, when tortured and taunted by his Jaffa captor, still maintained the presence of mind and consciousness of the value of a good education to say, "you ended that sentence with a preposition... <seven letter term for a person born out of wedlock, which has become a pejorative that is censored by this site>!"

    Woohoo, thanks!

    I would argue, though, that turning it off merely shows apathy, not contempt.
  8. No, there's a new TF that takes you back in time and removes the game from existence.

    The game, these boards, everything... none of it exists. You're just delusional.
  9. Might be something you've already checked, but just in case... make sure that you're choosing the server on which you created the character.

    Agreed. I usually don't like the AE (though I have run across some good missions) and I don't really like playing the market, but when I want to craft something I'll usually run one or two "Very Short" AE missions, buy rolls for Common Salvage as needed, and often put the excess salvage on the market for somewhere between 10 and 500 inf per piece.

    If there's a shortage of common salvage... it's because that's how the players want it.
  11. My blaster's standard battlecry (more of a "ready" statement, really) is "locked and loaded!". Sometimes, I change it up, though.

    "I drink your milkshake!"
    "This is <insert name of random Greek city-state other than Sparta in ALL CAPS>!"
    "I knew I shoulda turned left at Albuquerque!"
    "YOUR AD HERE!"
  12. Things like this make me kind of nostalgic for fantasy-based MMOs.

    In DAoC, my standard response was to tell the beggar to seek a manor outside the city, the lord can likely use a new serf and the beggar is clearly unsuited to the life of a freeman. It's kind of hard to RP that kind of condescension in CoH.

    Bought an item on the market... most of it goes to the person selling.
    Sold an item to a vendor... it goes to your character.

    Times listed are Eastern. I don't know about Tuesdays (since I'm usually at work), but Sundays can fill up early.
  15. So, would these merits replace existing recipe drops in missions?

    Never played Anarchy Online, but considering the name... was there really high hopes for a "community"?

  18. So now we just need a Ranchers group so we can have range wars.

    But do we want to base the war on Shane or Oklahoma!?

    If you set up a secondary build now, you'll have to advance it from level 0 to level 49 at the trainer. (I say level 0 because the first step is to choose your level 1 power) You don't start at 0 experience; you tell the trainer you want to advance a level, and when you're finished levelling up and are back at the conversation screen, you tell him/ her you want to level up (again), etc. You have to keep the same Archetype and Primary and Secondary powersets, but your second build can have different Power Pools and a different Epic/ Patron Pool.

    Enhancements do not carry over between builds; the second build will start out completely empty.

    When you hit 50, you will need to level each build up separately.

    I'm only using secondary builds on a couple of characters so far. My mind/emp controller has added a more efficient build for raids and TFs, and I'm setting up a Huntsman build on my VEAT (currently a Bane spider).

    I even set up a forum game to lower my rep, but nobody wants to play.

    I think there's a field in a database on the servers which controls that. It is not client-modifiable.

    Sounds like a plan... I'll do the same. Want to team up?

    And just think how much easier it will be on thier CS staff, not to have to keep track of a silly number, just rename characters "Generic Hero".

    It's a very simple text editor that comes with Windows. It can be useful.

    Hmmm... I'd have to check, it's been a while since I had a character with the Day Job power. I seem to recall having both available, but I could easily be mistaken.
