Kind of odd that they're still grayed out, though, no?
I checked the hero epics AT's and they're available (got my first hero to 50 a year ago in May), but not the Villain epics... -
Was making a villain on another server (filled up all my slots on Virtue), and I noticed the VEAT options were grayed out. I got my first villain to 50 back in October, and I've had no trouble making VEATs on Virtue. But now I'm on another server (Pinnacle if that makes any difference in troubleshooting) and I can't make one.

I'd be happy if I could get a Winchester for my Western-themed characters.

Or a BFG-9000 for potential Doom marine ripoff. -

Why dont you guys get of the Sarcasm wagon and aid me in this?

Because the suggestion has already been shot down. Read previous replies for more info on this. -
I can't figure out what power this is. I've seen a few toons on CoV with it. They slide around as if on ice and they have a pinkish glow at their feet. Is this a temp power?

You'll actually get less prestige if you have multiple people (unless you are all in the same SG and all in SG mode) so soloing is the best way to get prestige.
[/ QUOTE ]
Depending on the team, the loss in prestige earned per kill is more than made up by the rate at which the team can blow through mobs. Soloing is not always better. -
Same with the channels I belong to. Then again, many of those channels are almost exclusively for finding teams. Not much going on except lft or lfm. Just too many join and don't participate right now (most likely caught up in the AE broadcasts in Atlas).

Who's with me?!

I can see it now... at one end of Atlas, a group of Forum goers and RPers wishing peace for Atlas begin to gather... The army is as far as the eye can see on all sides... A Speedster runs up and down the line shouting a spectacular speech that is sure to rouse the troops. "TO THE AE BUILDING!" They all scream as the battle for Atlas slowly begins... Then.. Everyone Mapserves and Crashes.
[/ QUOTE ]
And perched high atop the AE building is a fiery eye that watches everything below... -
I belong to a few virtue channels that deal with the same problems. Many join and they fill eventually each year, but as the year progresses many also go MIA but take up channel space, so new versions of those channels get made so that new members (hopefully ones that will participate) can join. Virtuebadges09, Virtue LFG Alpha, VU2009, etc.

ClawsandEffect gave a good military analogy earlier in the thread, but I really don't think of veteran rewards as extreme as ranking. I honestly don't care about the badge title, I'm just slightly excited about the reward the comes with the milestone.
So, to modify the analogy...
It's like two 1st Sgts. walking together engaged in joke-like banter about the privates they humiliated that day. Bob has been in the service for 2 years now, while Jim has been serving for only 9 months. They both get into their 2009 chevy camaros and drive home. Bob was given his by the army as a promotion gift, while Jim couldn't wait and flat out bought his new. Bob is living, financially stable, with his wife and 3 kids, while Jim is scraping together whatever he can just to manage his own personal expenses. Bob has all the means and patience to get ahead in life, while Jim is always "a day late and a dollar short."
Of course, there's always the argument that Jim could be some rich guy. Well... with that kind of money he should be in officer school, not an enlisted man. Analogy still holds. -

also for all of you really got something smart to say...don't turn this into a personal issue cause this is just a game..i fight in real life and i doubt any of you kids i would pay attention to.

Kids also tend to post rants/make suggestions in a QUESTIONS forum. -

1. A "holding area."
So you want to rearrange your base. You've got a room full of storage, a pair of teleporter rooms, crafted control items and more.. and you find you *just can't* move things the way you want. Well, you could, but you'd end up deleting some of those items, losing at the *very* least the salvage used to make them. You could, if you have the Prestige, upgrade the plot, move things around, then shrink the plot. Or delete less-used rooms while you shuffle things around.
More useful, to me, would be a "storage area" to the side, either graphically or as a list ("In storage: 3x Teleporter, 4x Salvage Rack (used,) 1x Salvage Rack (empty)") you could pick from when you want to bring items back.
[/ QUOTE ]
This, of course, would have to be offered in different sizes at the cost of prestige.
[ QUOTE ]
2. Smaller Enhancement storage.
Right now, for nearly 100k, you can hold 100 enhancements. Which is great, don't get me wrong, but for a smaller/starter group, being able to hold, say, 33 or 50 at a lower cost would be nice. The same with Inspirations. Salvage, at least, is cheap... though I'd like to see items that hold *more.*
[/ QUOTE ]
I never understood the devs' logic in the differing holding capacities. As you point out the things that are cheap and probably more abundant get less storage.
Don't really have time to comment on everything, but they're all great suggestions. Hopefully they'll at least implement the "hallways" suggestions. -
I love Virtue.
Don't make me break out the sonnets and limericks, now. -

Hehe I always thought it would be neat to have alternate server names to reflect the heroism/villainy of the game. Here are some neat examples:
Freedom / Tyranny
Virtue / Immoral
Liberty / Restraint
Guardian / Destroyer
Protector / Oppressor
Victory / Misfortune
Champion / Anarchist
Triumph / Disaster
Heh I couldn't think of one for Infinity, Pinnacle, or Justice sadly but you get the idea.
[/ QUOTE ]
Great idea! (had the same thought myself the other day)
The names are very fitting. I can imagine them being displayed after opening the CoV updater. After all... I don't know many virtuous villains... -

Im wanting to get a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or more opinions on this problem. Am i not playing the game the way the designers want me to?
[/ QUOTE ]
As long as you're not doing anything blatantly offensive (in a general common sense definition), you can play the game however you want. If you want to do nothing but solo, so be it. If you want to play in nothing but AE missions, more power to ya. If some non-dev player comes and whines about you somehow not playing "properly," put him/her on your ignore list and keep playing. -
I used Ouroboros as a reference of what I might need for TP beacons. Came up with Hollows (for those fun lowbie arcs), Faultline (for those fun 20ish arcs), Eden (Hami Raids), and Steel Canyon (TP right next to green line). I let Ouroboros take care of the rest.
Lazy? ...you could say that.Although I prefer to call it "maximizing time efficiency vs. heroic deeds."

Let's hope Noah doesn't call copyright infringement on these "arks."

Hyperbole powers, GO!
[/ QUOTE ]
Oh, okay, heh. I just took what you said a bit too seriously there. Didn't realize you were being hyperbolic. My bad.
[/ QUOTE ]
Ah, yes. The hyperbole card gets you one free pass to say anything you want. This card must be placed at the bottom of your discard pile once it is played. Limit one card per deck. -
[ QUOTE ]
Yes, a friend or a second account.
I have a villain SG that used to have 8 solo sg's in coalition. Each one except the main was built on 300k from the membership bonus and was designed around different themes that when combined in coalition made a nice large base. I left 1 alt as leader of each base.
When the devs changed the rent, and other base changes after I13 I was able to combine all the ideas of the bases together and reduce the number of bases in coalition to three. I didn't see the need to get rid of the two teleport bases.
I might sell them off or give them away in the future. I haven't decided yet.
[/ QUOTE ]
I know what my project for the week will be. I'm actually losing prestige because I've got 30+ alts in a single SG. If I can make a second SG and throw 15 alts into that one I'll reap the prestige bonuses from the 1st 15 members. Then I can have more TP's to random hazard zones...
Sorry, I think I was thinking out loud just now...
That was also thinking out loud...
And that...
