It's skippable? Why did no one tell me earlier??????

Stupid <bleeping> carpet.

He actually expected you to be in all (or mostly) blue gear at that point? With more than a bit of green you'd have 2.5k health whether you wanted it or not.

As for my own experience, I haven't run a lot of dungeons, but I've done everything through the Ankh at least once and have yet to encounter any jerk players (at least in my own groups.) Even on occasions when I have totally screwed up no one gave me more than a friendly ribbing.

Just say. "Yes, it's Magneto." Trying to explain the truth may take a while.

Technically speaking a company can never own ANY of itself. Treasury stock (the shares that a company holds of itself) does not receive dividends and has no voting power.

They certainly have influence. But the theory that Nexon management forced NCSoft to axe CoH (putting NCSoft execs in the position of unwilling underlings) has been brought up before on these forums, and it just doesn't hold water.

Yep, he says he recently lost a lot of weight. That being the case he really should have waited until he got his physique stablized. Those horns will end up crumpled if he gets rid of the moobs.

Ouch. Of course, the thread would have been deleted before it passed page one if we were under full moderation seeing as how posting about bans is against forum rules.

It appears that thread has been banished to the phantom zone.

Most of the non-dungeon content is pretty clearly designed to be soloed, even containing more than a few solo-only dungeons where you CAN'T group. The devs have posted that there will be less solo-only content in the future due to the concerns of players who prefer to group.

I generally prefer to solo myself when the content doesn't require a group, so I can't really comment on the difficulty of finding groups for non-dungeons. For dungeon runs, however, I haven't had any trouble getting groups. The LFG group tool (which works cross-dimensionally) has always gotten me a group pretty quickly. I do usually sign up as a healer, so that might improve my results since healers and tanks for groups are typically harder to find.

The LFG tool can also be used for non-dungeon content, but since I usually solo open-world content I can't say how useful it is for finding more general groups.

I'm more amused by the people that suggest he see a lawyer. Actually, I'm amused any time someone suggests seeing a lawyer about a dispute with an MMO company.

With the exception of the original game, the Civilization series seems to follow the same rule as the original Star Trek movies: Odd numbers = bad, even numbers = good. I haven't actually played Civ 5 (cause so many of the 'improvements' being made sounded pretty bad to me) but Civ 3 was definitely weaker than 2 or 4. Four is, of course, super awesome.

Is there any similar negative effect from using talismans that are one quality higher than your skill?

Also, I have to agree with SG as far as using AP's. If you like the weapons you're using then by all means concentrate on them. The guide she linked on weapon synergies is excellent for getting a good idea how weapons will pair together. I'd say concentrate on 3 or 4 weapons to start with. That will give you enough options to have different situational builds.

You mean the fairly common MMO tracking software used to detect third party software that is being used to cheat/bot?

Anyone else remember when ads (in hard-copy magazines people!) for computer games promised things like "Over 50 hours of gameplay"? These days people seem to think that a game is a complete failure if it can't keep them entertained for years. The worse I've seen with this attitude is on the Diablo 3 forums where the game is frequently referred to as 'the worst game ever' on the grounds that the poster got bored after a couple months.

PS I'm not exactly defending Diablo 3 here, I think it's a far weaker game than Diablo 2. But if a game can keep me entertained for a few months then it's really not a 'bad' game.

PPS The real worst game ever was Master of Orion 3. I couldn't even finish a single game and I LOVED the first two. Maybe there's some people that liked it, but there are also people who like having hot wax dripped on their privates.

Apology thoroughly accepted. We all get prickly sometimes. I'm sure both of us (and others discussing mechanics in this thread) are trying to give information and observations from a 'TSW explained to CoH players' perspective. My original comment may have come off as a criticism of prior sprint related posts (I definitely could have worded it better) but it wasn't intended as such.

Errr.....I was just clarifying a point. I don't think anyone else had mentioned that sprint could not be turned on once you were already being chased, and it's not something everyone would be expected to know automatically. I hardly think that's either inane or absurd.

As far as I know you can't increase your jumping distance. Those two are VERY annoying, but it can be done with regular old jump. It just takes some precise timing and a lot of luck.
