I was playing around and noticed a check box to allow multi copies of game to run,is anyone duel boxing with this?

yes the coming storm is COH2,all coh 1 servers get shutdown, must start new toons

don't forget with the weekly strike force,you can get double merits. this week i got 100 for SisterP. i use the merits to buy the recipe and craft from merit vendor,even at 240 per,that is not that much. and yes for the A-merits less than a week of work, It may not do much for real numbers ,but the warm fuzzy you get knowing it is there makes it more fun.

also while not allowed in the game,RMT is now about 9.00 per billion.

well I will skip this like the last one, I turned down a I20 beta invite.I really don't care for how these trials are being done,too single pathed(personal preference) ,I'll just wait till they go live. So far the incarnate as added a lot of grinding to the endgame. and the revisiting of old content(Sister P). For those who go ,good luck and have fun

so a booster pack every other month? great way to boost income .

I have a problem on doing the sister TF or any lowbie tf as part of the WTF, the new currency in the game is shards, and as far as i know , on a lowbie,none will drop. but on a positive note, i have a few char that doing the WTF as a lowbie will be a lot easier than the STF.

ok tin foil hat time, i wonder if the DEVS are doing a bit of forcing of data. by having a low lvl tf be the WTF. they can say on a report that even with new powers, the users are still doing the lower lvl content. or some such reporting.

ok tin foil hat off

I do have one strange question, while it is nice that they found and fixed the problem, what was the problem? while we gave our observations on what we "thought" the problem was, a simple ,yes you guys were right in your observations , or no it was something else would be nice.

well hot fix seems to have fixed it but only time will tell, I did notice that i get more of a slide show in some of the STF missions, BUT this is a snowbound/ice day and the problem could be weather related

I was on the first STF with Litch king, and i only had lvl 2 alpha slotted on my tank. but on Freedom i have done several STF with my earth/emp controller both with and without the lvl 3 slotted and no problems. This reminds me of when they released Issue 2 on a Friday,that added the respec tf, and also a mini invasion, the server was going up and down like a yo-yo.

The main reason was a convention was happening that weekend and they wanted to be able to
"crow" about it.

one strange question,wonder if during spring fling,strike pack will drop? today 2x weekend starts first time during winter event. and as for I20 i could see it dropping during year 7 event.

here is my tin foil hat time, they are giving us a "free" booster pack,in a effort to shutdown any comments that they are going paid booster pack wild. like the emote pack a few months ago.

after the "free" booster is released, they can say in any forum/interview that they have given free booster pack in the past.

and really how much work is in the pack? a new skin for a pet,a slight change to one of the power emotes? already created costume pieces.

and wonder how much they will make/charge the players that later this year missed the "free"
booster pack

is the new pet in addition to any i have already picked? or just a new choice?

hi,
first to a previous post the DEVS DID reduce the street mob xp and number of mobs, to stop the screaming by the players they added the 1/2 debt to missions.

and to a earlier post of mine, if a lot of the content requires larger than normal teams, and you are on a mostly empty server, then that is a bad thing, and no paying for a bunch of transfers is not a solution

a few side issues, First while having incarnate teams for the end is fine if you are on one of the more populated servers, My home server(Pinnacle) is a bit of a ghost town,other than 2 ship raids a week, not much is done large group wise, can not remember the last Hami that was done.

second on the battle maiden, it seems to me that certain power sets make it much easier than others. A MM has a bit of a problem keeping pets in line, a stalker our most powerful attack is a bit slow to do,making the hit and run to keep getting blasted from space sometimes hard to do,a willpower toon, if you can't stand next to the mobs has a harder time getting healing to kick in.

also introducing the incarnate at lvl 50 has re-enforced the power leveling to get the char to 50 to unlock it, almost as bad as when the epics were added,and yes some teams only want incarnates to do the tf(itf/lg/statesman/lr)

also the running of lower tfs by 50s have slowed down,due to everyone salvage/shard hunting.

the adding of large raid type events, also has the problem of people getting locked out, zone full messages are a pain. and if the event is needed to get the XYZZY salvage to make a ultra rare, more disappointment will follow(yes i know you MIGHT be able to make it with shards,but has any RED name said that you could?)

just a few thoughts

well fluff piece, i hope ncsoft has a good health plan, as posi must have sprain his arm patting himself on the back

so we get 2xp weekend AND winter event at the same time? WoW

We should also take a moment to remember the all the DEVs we lost this year, Goodbye BAB,Castle,and the other unnamed ones .who also put a lot of effort into the game,and have left.

I both drink and use thunderbird,and its free

Sorry to see Castle go,had a small conversation with him when I asked him when the other shoe would drop.

Wonder which Dev will be next to leave the game?

well it could all be a marketing ploy,ok tin foil hat time, they give away codes, lots of people don't or can't get them due to being at work,etc. Then a thread like this starts, people complain and complain, so the DEVS be nice and "create" a costume pack, and they "listen" to our complaints and sell the codes for 14.95 or even split into two packs at 9.95,

we say TY TY TY. then get out our credit cards, NCSOFT laughs all the way to the bank.

We were "nudged" into doing what they wanted us to do.

i just wish there was a native 64 bit version of COx,so i can use all 12 gigs of ram for the game

how about a blowup doll of Desdemona?

well i thing i20 may be longer than feb,as they started before I19,and are being much more strict on the beta testers(written nda was reported) I could see I 20 not until May and being the 7th anniv. so I could see parts being released every couple of weeks(4-6) to keep the edge off of when I20 is coming out. One queston that I keep asking is "When will the other shoe drop?"

In the past every time they have given the players a boost, and equal nerf has happened to Balance it out. all this goodness, has to have a counter to it, right now the two incarnate TF have a -4 buff on the players, but normal tfs do not, what happens if after 2-3 incarnate slots get unlocked and people can SOLO some of the higher TFs? or if farmers start cake walking through some of the new AE missons they will create? will there be incarnate only zones? where we get full powers and other only some. or will they go the route of like diablo 2,with a normal,nightmare,hell mode? or will they go like with diablo:LOD where you convert your char and can not go back to normal type missons?

I would also say pinnacle ,it has been my server of choice since i joined.
