That's what I get for using the New Post button too much. I thought this was in the Players questions sub-forum.

Your right. This is the best place for it... Unfortunately.
Kinda shocking that support advised you to post it on the forums though.

Pics or it didn't happen.

You'd get extra geek-points for wearing These as well.

Your unlikely to get a view from any rednames in here because this section is just for players helping players. Putting it in the Dev's section would bring it to the forfront quicker.

If it's a biblical "When there's no more room in Hades, the dead will walk the Earth" type outbreak then I put the timetable for full scale apocalypse at right about 6 to 8 hours tops.

Lets say the switch gets flipped at 12:00pm and from that point on anyone that dies, returns.
In as little as 30 seconds you'll begin to get secondary infections.
Paramedics being bitten, nurses or coroners, morticians. Anyone close to a recently deceased will be turned within minutes.

These 'fresh kills' will then stumble out into the unaware populus and begin spreading the infection. So within as little as 2 minutes (given the time to die and return as a variable) you'd have not only the legitimate deaths returning, but also the victims.

This is the classic snowball affect.

Hospitals and Police Departments, being unaware, will begin attempting to treat the victims. Hearing tales of crazed people. Cops will also be responding to 911 calls. These 2 vital components of civilization will be the 1st to fall. Within hours.

News of this will be sporadic at best. Hospitals and PD's will alert the media only after containing the situation, so it's left to Eyewitness type news to get the word out.

By 2pm CNN and the like will be running a ticker at the bottom of the latest Paris Hilton scandel about crazed protestors at St. Mercy in Chicago. The 1st victims will be returning to work/daily routine with bandaged bites unaware that they are infected.

4 hours later the news networks will be scrambling for info due to increasing confusion and panic on the streets. The original victims that returned to work will succumb to injuries and turn, thus increasing the speed of the apocalypse and taking most stations off the air.

Public transportaion will be out of service by now and the 1st signs that something is really, really wrong will become evident. Zombies will be openly visible in most urban settings within 4 hours, with entire city blocks surrounding the hospitals and morgues being already overrun. News will still be sporadic at best, with the major networks unwilling to report that
"The dead are returning to life and attacking the living" without having someone at the CDC or likewise institution to verify the info, the only information they will be reporting will be the obvious outbreak of violence.

6 hours in and the world as you knew it is gone.


So lets say that at 12 Noon you were at Pizza Hut having lunch. The news is on a tv in the corner, but your not paying attention as it's just business as usual. You then get in your car and swing by the office real quick.
Stepping in to grab your breifcase you notice that everything is perfectly normal. You then leave and listen to your Ipod on the way home.
You notice an unusual amount of ambulances on your drive but only give it a passing thought as your mind returns to thinking about the new episode of Dancing that night.
You arrive home at 2pm and go about your routine. Turning on the news in the background as you load up COH on your PC. You solo a few radio missions while listening to the news go on and on about Paris's rehab.
At 3pm breaking news (during a commercial break) reports that an alarming number of people are showing signs of violent tendencies, or some other psycho-babble, with promises of more news to follow before being returned to the already in progress (Taped) news show.
You quickly write it off as just another one of those 'Grab your attention only to dissappoint' blurbs and return to your gaming.
At 5 your kids get dropped off by the carpool and you spend the next hour hearing them talk about their day and getting them started on homework.

At 6pm your wife stumbles in the door looking like a trainwreck. She has a large band-aid on her arm that she tells you was because one of her co-workers got sick and scratched her when he sneezed. She's tired and has a bit of a headache so you start getting dinner ready while she goes to rest. When she comes stumbling into the living room an hour later, half dressed and moaning softly...


So, if it's a biblical type outbreak where the dead automatically return regardless. Then 8 hours in and we're all toast.
Those lucky few who manage to survive that most crucial 1st day would have very little in the way of legitimate information. As there simply wouldn't be enough time to report it, even in our 24/7 news world.

Sky Raider Engineers are a big headache. I always make sure and take em out before they can crouch down.

Tsoo Sorcerors can be quite bothersome when there are more than one. Unless you have confuse that is.

Rikti Comm officers are likewise a pain.

My Mastermind (Necro/Dark) destroys ever single Longbow Flamethrower he sees. Even if it's grey, man I hated those on that toon!

/Signed.


I loved the arc... the 1st 5 or 6 times.

Now, well lets just say I have to have a really good reason to do so on new toons. Since I'm pretty much over the ITF as well.

Just makes it quicker for you to get in once Issue 19 is live. The pre-download gets a good chunk of the data while your not waiting to play.
That way on release day your patching won't take long at all.

That is amazing work. I love the clarity of it.

Only thing that bothered me is that it looks likes she's about to slice off her left wing with the sword pointed that way.

Still great piece!

Personally, I'd prefer more bosses. I think each Halloween mob should have it's own boss. The Vampire Lord and Crone are nice but I'd also like a Warwolf, Ghost and Zombie boss.

This is mainly for my Brute and MM though, as my Blasters can't stand the bosses as is.

Now that I can support. Can't tell you how much I've wanted to create a Roman BS/Shield scrapper but don't feel like waiting 40+ levels before I can get his proper outfit...

I just had this happen last night. I thought it was just the 1st time I'd happened to hit 0 while still holding something. Wonder if it works with anything your dragging.

I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to get both. Just that you'd have to choose which one you wanted more first. Like with the valentines event badges and costume pieces. You have to defeat Snappy over 5 times to get all the goodies.

Same should go for weapon unlocks. You get a choice, either the weapon (if you are a weapon user) or the costume piece.


Although, with these being tied to defeat badges, it'd have to be adjusted to give you the second option after farming another 100 or so.

Still, since none of my hundred something alts are weapon users, I'd love if I was offered something for hunting down rularuu or nem's...

You want a set to complain about looking all the same try Ninja's.
My tier 1's don't even have a costume change when the upgrades are applied. No change at all. I had to look really close at the Jounin just to
see his second sword appear...
Talk about drab.

Poster responds to the last item listed by previous poster, then gives an item for the next. Giving a brief description of why you feel it's The Best.
To start;

Ice Cream
The best Ice Cream by far has to be Mayfield's Extreme Moose Tracks with Denali fudge! This is a chocoholics dream. Chocolate ice cream with small chocolate cups and smooth strips of fudge. Blends together into a wonderful experience that I highly recommend.

Next up - Car

Research is your friend. Numerous videos litter the internet with Demon Summoning being showed off.

I mean, I don't fork out $40 without knowing what I'm getting. Apparently you did and now feel the need to complain about it.

Demon Summoning is matched up fine when compared to the other sets.
The only real complaint could be the annoying sound they make constantly. Which is why I'm not playing them... yet.

Good day to you sir.

Likewise. I can't stand the 32 to 41 grind.

My only problem with it stems from a conversation I had with a 12 year old when I was dating his mom.
Mr. T came on with one of his WoW ads. I start waxing nostalgic with his mom about the A-team.

The kid over hears us and starts going on and on about how the A-team sucks and they couldn't even do such and such.

He didn't even know that the A-team was originally a campy 80's show.
He thought the movie was all there was.


I'd like a big neon disclaimer for all remakes alerting the new generation to the fact that it is indeed a remake.

This is just my own fear of aging though. As I really enjoyed the Dawn of the Dead remake among others.

Well. He did have to track him for quite a few light years. Whatever powers his ship probably isn't cheap.

Oh my, thats genius Goat. I wore out 3 walkmans by rewinding. Doh!

Naturally they were inferior products made by other companies.
My original Sony Walkman bought in 1987 is still working like a charm. Still has the battery cover too!

We need a food court! I'm getting kinda tired of the Mickey D's next door.

If your looking for Ezmode my 1st 2 suggestions would be;

SS/WP Brute - An amazingly fun combo, great power and great survivability. I rolled one up for GR and fell in love. He's currently
farming Dark Astoria solo. Only toon I've rolled that can do so.
At level 24 I can stand in the middle of a large group of BP all yellow con... and my health never drops!

OR

Dark Melee/Regen scrapper - This has to be one of the most boring combos. Only because for the 1st 40 levels you don't have any fear.
It's just click, click, click attacks with the random heal in between.
I jump on this guy whenever I wanna feel uber or I just wanna mindlessly
bash some heads in. Alternating between Instant Healing and MOG allows for amazing possibilities when solo.
