  1. Want. Want want WANT WANT WANT!

    As an avid Apple guy, I WANT THIS! Do it! I'll donate to the cause! Making it native to both iPhone and iPad makes it very attractive, and let me just say I'd pay for it.
  2. Here's my costume concept for Boss Steam, complete with Steam Jets aura. Not sure what to make him yet, but I'm thinking something /Storm or maybe something else. We'll see.



    EDIT: It's a little grainy for some reason.
  3. ((I have to ask, after seeing all these topics:

    What exactly is a Rookery?))

    Ah, alright. In that case I'll just dink around in the costume creator and see what goodies I can come up with! Would you like me to send them to you for your seal of approval?
  5. Can you imagine hearing the Incarnate buffs as a DBZ-style attack?

    FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMM!!"

    *BOOOOM!*

    10:10 AM PST, so in the next... 10 minutes. Sorry for not clarifying xD

    I very much like Boss Steam. What do you want his sets to be, what appearance? I can craft him in the next hour or so, if you release his name at 10:10 PST.

    The "protagonist", I guess, is named Moxie Danger, a young, sassy superhero private eye. She looks like this. In game terms she's a blueside SS/SR Brute. I'll probably start up a small SG, detective agency style.

    Villains:
    Crime Queen--currently have her as a Mind/Nrg Dom, but that's totally open to revision; her backstory's the more important part.
    Doctor Deathtrap--again, sets not super important (though I imagine that something /Traps would be a given)
    Satin Fox--a DB/WP Brute, but again...yadda yadda (also might change this name)

    Supporting Cast:
    Guy Friday--Traps/DP, tech guy, and the Giles/Q to Moxie's Buffy/Bond

    So I guess now this thread can be either for interested parties, or for the original intent. Oh yeah...and if anyone's got a character whose particular idiom they think fits this general, pulp-flavored thingamajig, feel free to drop me a line.
    Interestingly enough, Mr. Devil, I have a 38 DB/WP Brute named Streetrazor. It'll be important to check to see if all these names are available, too.

    I solo'd AV Recluse back before Envenomed Daggers. Wasn't too hard, just had to pop a few reds and two purples and hammer buttons like crazy. Took a long time.
  10. StormDevil,

    I've been asked to play a nemesis or three in my time. I took one 'nemesis' to 50 and loved it, and I still have and play the other two.

    Sign me up as your enlisted buddy and tell me how you want me to gallery it up, as it were.
  11. Soloed the arc on an Illu/Kin/Primal controller, with AV's, set to +1. Didn't have an issue.

    Idiot team leader. Don't let it bother you, bud.
  13. All of my current masterminds with the exception of my Demons/Dark.

    The current AI bug makes all but the D/D unplayable. I actually deleted a level 42 Thugs/Traps that I'd loved up until the AI went bonkers. It was impossible to solo +1/x1 what with the idiot Arsonist running all over the place even as I desperately hammered the Follow/Passive macro I'd made.

    Your rant reeks of entitlement. Play the game like the rest of us.

    First: The RNG controls everything. Get used to it.

    Second: 'Skill' based games such as Earth of Battlecraft (hur hur) usually have 'talent trees' that are frequently imbalanced and bring about waves of nerfs and 'adjustments' as well as equipment that (while making you look silly) can make or break your character if you forget to use one. I don't want that bull@#$% in my CoH/CoV.

    Third: I got my Alpha Slot filled within an hour of unlocking it. Call the waaaahmbulance, the problem you're having is not commonplace.
  15. So this thread can be summed up by "Waaah too hard I didn't read anything why is everyone laughing"?
  16. What was the length of the time it took you to reconcept? I've had a friend who's lost 4 names during a rename, like someone was stalking her just to screw up her toon.
  17. The chances of anything coming from Mars
    Were a million to one, they said
    Oh the chances of anythiiiiing coming from Mars
    Were a million to one...

    But still, they come!

    Pocket D, which is NOT part of the Shadow Shard.



    That's just god-moding in a poorly executed attempt at creepiness. I've spent hours in the Shard without going mad, I'm not going to start now just because an explore badge says so.



    So, don't drink it. Tell your friends not to drink it. Just to be on the safe side, don't swim in it either. Tell your friends. Although, again, I have swum in it in the past, with no ill effects.

    Now, if some of my powers were suddenly greyed out because I'd "forgotten" I had them, or the Rularuu started conning friendly and other player characters started conning hostile, or I was hit with a debuff or a temp power of some kind...then I'd buy that the Shadow Shard is messing with my character. But don't tell me the game is doing something to my character and expect me to buy it when obviously nothing is happening, and nothing will continue to happen no matter how much time I spend standing on the badge.
    Props on lacking creativity, open-mindedness and imagination.

    Suspend your disbelief for five seconds and enjoy the game lore. Good lord.

Those who discovered MA exploits during the beta period kept them quiet, in order to use them immediately after the issue went live and the rewards became "real."
    Being one of the people who got to closed-beta test the MA, you're exactly right.

I mean, that's how it's always been said while I was growing up, but I've learned that the "true" pronunciation (you know, how my great-great-great's said it) is more like "Desh." I think I'd rather be called "Desh" than "Dex" knowing that, but try telling your family to change how they pronounce your name after they've said it another way for 26 years.
    Huh. Funny thing is, whenever I hear 'Dex Ki-zon' in my head I think of a DJ Krush song with a similar sounding name:

    Decks-Athron

    EDIT: If your first name really is Dechs, what badass nationality are you? XD
  21. Here's a suggestion, and don't take it at face value since I have no earthly idea how this application actually applies values:

    Could the Alpha Slot be coded in a similar way as set bonuses? If you think about it, their bonuses apply in a very similar way.

    The UI is A Mess

    I like your ideas, and I do agree with this game's UI being a bit outdated and, often times, clunky.

    However, as I have a degree in design with a specialization in User Interface and User Interaction, I can say that the UI in CoX, for what it's worth, is extremely functional and does it's job better than most other MMO UI's I've seen (with the exception of the respec process; that's one ugly mother if you ask me). I'd personally like to see some touch-ups done to the trays/target/nav/status windows, with options to allow merging elements (I want my target window to show the buffs/debuffs of my enemy).

    Notably not short for Dexter.
    Now, do you pronounce Kaison like the Kaiser in Kaiser Roll, or like this: Kay-zon, or like this: Kay-son.

    RNG's Blessing

    I felt RNG love last week, Wednesday.

    I charged a group of +1/x8 Rikti in a Borea mission.

    From that group came the following:

    Mako's Bite: Acc/Dam/End/Rech x2
    Absolute Amazement: Stun
    Absolute Amazement: Endurance/Rech

    As I already have one piece of AA I respecced and slotted them in to my rez.
