Well that'd do it. Man, I searched for about an hour and got diddly; it'd be nice if the reward description actually had that listed as a reward. Right now it just says 'Belly Shirts' in-game. :/

I couldn't find the old 'missing costume piece' thread, so I'm going to chuck this here and hope someone can redirect me.
Fiancée decided to make a character on my account out of boredom. She liked the costume so much she saved it and ported it to her machine so she could make a character out of it later.
Now, when she went in to load the costume, she got an error. She'd used the Hacker top (Tops with Skin) on my account and it's not available on hers. She's VIP, like me, so I decided to log in to her account from my machine just to check to make sure it wasn't a one-time problem.
Nope. Sure enough, I have Hacker and she doesn't. We're both full VIP. What's with that? -

I have to stand with the "make the other poor ******* die for his country" group. They already sent War Walkers to try and wipe out our cities; why should we play nice? You mess with the bull, you get the horns. Or in our case, you mess with the superpowered community, you get two thousand megatons of raw power to the face.

Quote:I hate to fan the flames here, but the proof's in your posts whether you say it is or not.Sure Schismatrix, and your repetition of the claim that I want everyone to be forced to team at all times makes even more sense given that I said at least three times that that specifically was not what I meant. I understand you're still trying to pick a fight, but I'm done with that, sorry.

Some of my characters need it, some don't.
-My Dark/Dark/Soul Brute doesn't need it; he has Dark Obliteration, Soul Drain, a damage aura, Dark Consumption, and Darkest Night.
-My Shield/Axe Tanker has it; it helps grab stragglers who somehow didn't feel like paying attention after getting hit with Shield Charge and Whirling Axe and Against All Odds.
-My Fire/Fire Brute doesn't need it because Fire and AoE and Burn.
-My Elec/Invul Brute doesn't need it; Invincibility, Lightning Rod and Spring Attack.
-My Titan/Willpower Brute will be getting it at 47/49 because Willpower is a little weak in the taunt aura and the TW Taunt animation is AWESOME.
-My SS/Elec Brute doesn't need it; Foot Stomp, Power Sink, and Lightning Field do the job.
-My Dark/Kin Tanker doesn't have it; Burst, Death Shroud, Dark Regen, Oppressive Gloom and Darkest Night do the job.
Taunt is subjective per player/AT/Powerset. Both sides of the argument are fail. Some players can manage aggro without Taunt better than players who have it, and that's to their credit. Other players have Taunt for it's purpose and that's to their credit. You can't denounce either one.
This game is about options and what works best for you as a player. Neither side has any place in saying what's best for an AT. -
So what, did you get so upset over how poorly your tanker inherent thread went you had to bash something on the other side of the tank spectrum?

Quote:Take this with a grain of salt: It helps if you think about what you're going to post/say before you post/say it. It also helps to not meet every disagreement with an insult or a snarky inference.I also already said that I edited it an hour ago to reflect more closely what I meant without any negative real world connotations. So, yeah, think he might do that?
I actually didn't know antisocial personality disorder was so particularly diabolical, I thought it meant the first things seebs said people might think it meant, heh. -
Quote:I'll give you that, but there's also a difference between saying "I understand your position, but disagree" and saying "your brain might not work properly because I disagree with you". Learning that difference would benefit you.Nalrok, there's a difference between pointing out a cause and suggesting a remedy.
Quote:I'll bet he goes back and starts editing his older comments in an attempt to make it look like he didn't say things we remember him saying. I'd say for someone to take screencaps, but I actually don't care enough!
Quote:Truer words have never been said. We all solo a lot (some of us more than others), but we also sometimes team up. But that's the point. We do what we like, when we like it. This is a videogame, not a job or a charity. And we are not the hermits he's looking for. -
Ahem.
Quote:The sort of answer that leads me to believe some of you may be displaying signs of antisocial personality disorder.
Quote:I was going to say, "But it doesn't require coercion, it requires changing your mind." That'd be pretty ironic in the context of the discussion though. That reminds me of those ancient threads about how to encourage people to team up more, before they changed experience scaling on teams. Maybe it needs to be further subsidized somehow. Team with a new player, get a sliding experience bonus, the more and newer players the better.
But guess what, doc? I also like to solo. We all do. Sometimes we like to run the game at our own pace, on our own terms, with no need to explain to other people why we're doing what we're doing.
Evidenced by every post you've made in this thread, this is obviously a problem to you. You've gone so far as to make incorrect, rude assumptions about everyone who tells you you're wrong, even questioning their mental stability.
This isn't our problem with teaming, it's your problem with us soloing. Take it elsewhere, kid. You're just embarrassing yourself. -
Quote:Man, are you rude.Void, I'm guessing then that you're not one of the people who never leaves /hide.
Bosstone, unfortunately for a new VIP today the search function essentially is "the world" as far as CoH is concerned. Most of us are probably members of a dozen or two global channels, the newbie is not. She may not even know the global chat system exists, or have ever visited the official forum. Most people in this thread were not advocating opting out of the most basic in-game tool for just that kind of player to have any access to teams at all, but a few were. -
Quote:Swing and a miss.It's pretty laughable of you to come back with the very thing you're accusing me of being so terrible for doing, but the thing is I've somehow managed to soldier on. In response to your previous post, you don't seem to have noticed that my point is that I invite people who send me tells. I fail to see how that is a character flaw?
Captain, the Reading Comprehension levels are critically low! -
Quote:And there you go putting words in everyone else's mouth again. When did we say we all wanted to be recluses? Go on, I'd love to see it.Since everyone is so deeply offended that I used a real thing instead of a fake thing, it has now been amended to be a fake thing. Feel free to instead focus on my point, which was that there's no reason to become a virtual recluse in city of heroes, unless you happen to have incredible spider powers.
Just because some of us like to play the game alone from time to time doesn't make us reclusive. I highly suggest you stop throwing terms around that don't fit the context of the discussion at hand. It just reinforces the idea that you don't know what they really mean. -
Quote:My mind isn't blown by you using it in a conversation, my mind is blown by how you used it. You don't use a condition or a disorder as a comparative insult.Nalrok, if your mind is blown by someone using the name of an actual thing from DSM-IV, I think you need thicker skin. Then again, isn't that the story of the thread?
And no, that's not the story of this thread. The story of this thread is Captain asking if anyone else had experienced a similar situation to his own in regards to teaming, and halfway down the first page you decide to roll in with a snarky comment that goes against the whole point of the thread. The rest of it is you making yourself out to be a biased, insensitive know-it-all.
Quote:I think you'll find I never advised anyone to spend a single penny at a psychologist.
In all seriousness, accusing me of having a mental disorder is, in fact, advising me to see a psychologist. -

Quote:....The sort of answer that leads me to believe some of you may be displaying signs of antisocial personality disorder. You're getting mad about the idea not of someone impinging on your soloing, but about the idea that they might want to. And you're not the only one.
What?
Seriously, what? Where did you get the idea I was getting mad? Where? Quote me and point out where I'm getting mad.
And what right do you think you have to tell me I may have a disorder? If you want to make people mad, telling them there's something wrong with them is a sure-fire way to do it.
I highly suggest you reevaluate your outlook on life and others, son, because right now you're not only making yourself out to be completely ignorant, you're also throwing words and terms and accusations around that might really upset someone. What if I did have an antisocial personality disorder? What if my coping mechanism was to play an online game? What if the only way I could socialize was through a medium that didn't actually require me to socialize with visible, present human beings?
Do you have any idea how huge a dick move your little retort would be if I really did have the aforementioned condition?
Up until my early teens I had an attention disorder. I had to be medicated for most of my developmental years. If you told me, to my face, that I didn't do something a certain way in-game because I had ADD I'd probably cuff you one. Not cool, PR. Not cool at all.
You should be ashamed of yourself, and I'm not saying that out of anger. If this is how you address things in your day-to-day life I pity you.
You have yourself a wonderful New Year. -
Quote:It's on page six after "Are we eating too much garlic as a people?"I earnestly hope and pray for the day where we've resolved the rest of the world's problems to such an extent that the subject of sexuality in promotional comic book artwork for an MMORPG becomes an actual, viable topic worthy of this kind of attention.
Seriously, wake me up when we get there. -

46 unique characters and counting on Virtue, and not one repeated powerset/AT combo.

Here's my methods.
"can I join ur team"/"team?"/"can i join plz"
Replies: Nothing/Sorry, mostly AFK, in mission so I don't log/No, I'm soloing.
The last two replies almost always lead to:
"plz"
Reply: No.
Any further requests are met with a global/character ignore combo and a one-star note.
Blind invite 1: Decline.
Blind invite 2: Send tell to inviter that boils down to "I don't want to team, don't invite me" followed by a decline.
Blind invite 3: Decline and hit the team leader with a global/character ignore combo. Add note, hit one star, write an appropriate note describing one-star.
I know that might seem a little extreme, but if you can't take the hint after two turn-downs you're not the kind of person I want to share game time with.
