    Yes, it is. You have to have at least ONE friend in the game who can make a mule character right? Get yourself to level 10, start your SG.

    Invite them to it, and switch out your characters, having them boost them into the group and change their rank if needed. Then, they either stay in the sg if you trust em, or leave if you request it - bingo, you have a 1-person SG.

    Actually I meant the coalition part. But I imagine it also requires a second person.

    Actually I'd just like to see a tights option like males get that simply makes the muscles more defined (you can have bare muscular or smooth) that way you could have muscular women without the need for a new body type.

    In order to slove the nudity option...there simply isn't a 'bare' option for it, it has to use one of the 'tops with skin' options as a pattern.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Also a good idea to complement the body size modifications. I don't see it as a good standalone change, though. For instance, muscle definition in the same skinny arms could look a little weird unless it is very subtle. Not to mention, not all muscle is based around the "ripped" look.

    2000? Try 2109, buster! That clearly means you spend more time on the forums than in the game, and know diddly squat!!1!!!!111

    Yes, Ad_Astra really puts those other forum cartels/cuppa incarnates to shame with their 26,000+ posts!

    I would like to have my own personal hideout. My own Fotress of Solitude for say. I like the sg thing. But I like to solo a few of my toons. A place to store recipes and what nots. It could be put into an expansion pack.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    As others have said just make a solo SG. You can even put your solo SG's into coalition with eachother.

    This isn't possible with one account, is it?
  5. In that case, how much work could be saved by simply fine tuning the muscle sliders for each body type?

    Arm thickness
    Arm length
    Leg thickness
    Leg length
    Chest thickness
    Chest height
    Back thickness
    Abdomen thickness
    Abdomen height
    Hip width

    Obviously, these terms can be modified to the devs' will, and perhaps they can add/subtract modifications as they see fit. But it seems like this might be a more time saving solution to this suggestion.

    Arctic Air bug?

    So is the enhancement bugged? Or is it intended to affect friendly pets as well?

    Arctic Air bug?

    So I'm fighting groups of Rikti with my ice/storm controller while running Arctic Air, and Jack Frost gets confused from time to time. I'm pretty sure Rikti lack confuse powers, unless we're dealing with mentalists perhaps, but this was happening even while I fought mobs w/o a mentalist in them. Is Arctic Air confusing Jack?

    I would love if something was done about the level 10 costume slot that SoAs can unlock, be it a 50% coupon or a "new" costume that retains your scales.

    If I didn't have a pile of tokens from vet rewards, I wouldn't have been able to use the slot thanks to the hair, face/head shape, face and other little details not being carried from the first to second slots. Those things cost -a lot- to fix for a lowbie...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I think VEATs are more in desperate need of a second "epic costume" slot than this, honestly.

    so offensive powers(toggles) arent worth taking since they get put down so easily?i find mine down so much i just seem to go all thru the fights without it or turning it on repeatedly.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Do you have Fire Shield and Plasma Shield turned on while you're running Blazing Aura? If not, then you need them turned on for their mez protection so that kind of thing doesn't happen.

    Don't get me wrong, Id really get a laugh out of the idea of making a male thermal corruptor called... I don't know, maybe Prescilla, or something, and changing the colors of his secondary set to pink and... well maybe a slightly different pink... and then throwing pink flamey mockery on some of the player base.

    But I won't. There are a lot of reasons for this, but the bottom line is, it's going to be more destructive in the long run, and while it might be funny, I don't really feel I have the right to damage other people's hard one recreation time.

    But with I16, it looks a lot like someone COULD do this.

    Pink flames, black force fields, blinding white sonic armor? Irritating people, damaging their game experience or causing eye injuries (ok maybe that's a bit over the top)

    Some people will make a carrear out of griefing those in zones with things like that.

    Let us select and remove granted buffs in the buff bar, and the problem will be substantially solved. Putting a timer on re-granting a buff thats been removed will solve even more of it.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Or simply have a prompt like with Recall Friend or Mystic Fortune so you can choose whether to be granted that buff or not. This option can of course be toggled in the Options menu.

    Respec idea

    Yeah, that was a huge leap and bound by the devs to allow us to keep 10 enhancements.
  13. It matters if it's a bug. I have experienced your problem not once since the devs implemented the change in the game that prevents your toggles from turning off due to being mezzed. So, you need to help us figure out whether it's a bug with that power specifically or something else.
  14. It would, but it would nullify the rewards of being a veteran in the first few months, when CC tokens make up the majority of those rewards, giving new players just a little less incentive to keep playing.
  15. Not really a big deal IMO. Costume change tokens are almost a dime a dozen in this game. Each issue usually gives each character on your account tokens for each costume slot they've unlocked. Also tokens are awarded very frequently as vet rewards in the first 2 years of gameplay.
  16. Safest duo IMO would be an Ice/Dark Tank paired with a Force Field/Dark Defender. Tons of defense buffage and to hit debuffage to complement each other. Extreme survivability, moderate DPS.

    I like the idea of "Elite" Epic Archetypes. To qualify you have to take a hero or a villain to 50, and then take an Epic to 50.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That would take only about a week or less nowadays, starting from scratch. Pre I14 I could see this being reasonable. Not much of a challenge anymore, unfortunately.
  18. In short, IO's (Invention Origin) do not lose their bonus as you level. SO's (Single Origin), on the other hand, do. IO's are crafted from recipes by using a university workstation or can be bought already crafted at the in-game market. IO's tend to be much more valuable than SO's because they maintain themselves over time, unlike SO's.

    As for slotting your powers, that's up to you what you think is necessary... some prefer to slot QR with 2 end. mod. enhancements, some like 3. It depends how many slots you have available and how bad you need the extra recovery.
  19. So as a hero (or villain), we fight crime (or cause it) and we gain influence (infamy) for it. I'm assuming this currency represents the concept of becoming more popular in the city, when younglings begin to look up to you (or loathe you). The more inf. you have the more known you are throughout the city.

    Anyways, how does that concept tie in with the market system. Let's say you spend most of your saved inf. on some things and now your influence/infamy rests at a very small number. Does this mean the city has forgetten about you suddenly...?

    Issue 14 sped up both hover and flight

    My level 50 with 2 IO fly speeds wasn't quite speed capped before and now is.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Sounds like the change occurred to fly's base speed only. They didn't raise the flight speed cap when they made this change?
  21. It seems like the longest interrupt I've experienced unslotted is 1 second or less on any given interruptible power. If interrupt times for all powers are 1 second or less.... what's the point of slotting them for interrupt duration reductions? I've been able to use every other type of enhancement to some degree of success, but not this one.

    Is the mag of TP Foe affected by Domination?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Domination doesn't affect power magnitudes. It affects the length of their effect (as well as increase the damage of your attacks). Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Immobilize, Fear, and Confuse effects will be lengthened by activating Domination.
  23. My biggest gripe about respec'ing is when I have to backtrack when I find I've made a mistake. It really sucks when I'm halfway finished reslotting my enhancements when I notice I misplaced a slot.... Then I have to go back to the slotting screen and backtrack (in clumps of 2, 3 and 6 slot increments), make the changes, redo the remaining slots, and start once again from scratch at the enhancement screen. To me this is the number one thing that makes respec'ing take forever. I plan my builds, but we're still human and something as little as that one mistake can easily lop off another 10 minutes of play time.

    /signed to make respec'ing similar to Mids design: to be able to go directly to a misplaced slot or power and change it without losing everything you've worked on past that point.
  24. 16 months of gameplay... and I haven't had a single respec recipe drop... IME, you have phenominally better odds at getting a purple drop than a respec recipe drop (even pre-I14).
