  1. Last week I worked with my husband and after dinner I fell asleep at 7:30.

    When I woke up around 9:45 I didn't think it was worth playing. So, I think I'm dropping out. I missed 3 weeks and now I feel 'meh' about having to try to catch up. I never get online for anything anymore, the 2-3 hours a week for Isos is becoming impossible.

    Maybe I'll be around for the next run. Maybe I'll just hibernate till spring.

    Take care.
  2. I'm away with no internet other than my phone. I suppose I could park outside the cafe nearby that has wifi and play on my laptop in my car but I'm not that dedicated. I'm never going to catch up! Will the XP booster things help when I get back?
  3. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

    I didn't know DC, but reading of his passing, and at such a young age, really made me sad. I have a 22 year old son, and I couldn't imagine life without him.

    I'd like to make a donation to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in DC's honor. MP, if you could PM me Jacob's last name for the donation I'd appreciate it.
  4. I won't be able to make it this week. I was planning to but something came up. I'll try to catch up by next week. Have a Happy New Year!

  5. Change of plans thanks to rain. I will be there tonight.

    And that's for just the first account. I have two, so I'd need two seperate accounts for the two codes.

    I'll stick with #3, then. I don't care how many choose #2 and get away with it, it's still something NC Soft shouldn't be pushing people to do.

    Thanks for at least telling me I'll never be getting it, now I can stop waiting for it to show up in the store.
    I'm confused, give up more of your privacy to FB how? I Liked the CoH FB page to get the code, as far as I can see my name doesn't appear on the CoH FB page anywhere. Doing so added CoH to my Interests list and I went into my Edit settings and deleted it.

    What am I missing?
  7. I'm going to have to miss next week, my kid has a Marching Band exhibition and I have to be there. I tried to get out of it, but noooo, she wants us there. Kids, right? Pft.

    I'll try to catch up. Should I continue with the First Ward stuff? Keeping in sync was difficult since I hadn't ever done it before and didn't know the contacts, and had to click a lot of mission text sometimes going in a loop, stupid optional stuff.

    I just started doing the Ward on a Praetorian MM I made, I have to say, whoever wrote those missions was overly wordy. If I wrote missions they'd be like: Go empty that building and get back to me, kid. Or, Take down so-and-so and don't come back until you're successful.

    Sometimes less is more.

    I can't ever remember the lore anyway. Stupid menopause.

    Currently, I know that they are able to post in the Gameplay / Technical Issues & Bugs forum and I believe they are able to post in the Player Questions forum as well. Those two sections alone are some of the best help resources any player can get, whether they are Free, Premium or VIP.

    The Help channel is only limited in that it is specific to that server. That is far more reach than Broadcast, Request, Local, Team or anything other than a global channel or tell has. Well, I'm not sure about /ac since I never use it and don't have it on any tabs.
    I don't know about purchasing in the shop giving the Free player Premium status and access to tells because I came back as Premium. But I do know that before subbing again I couldn't post anywhere on the forums. I tried. There was a message at the top of the forum saying that I couldn't post unless I was VIP and when I tried to post anyway I got a message that I didn't have access or something like that.

    I couldn't get in-game support, tried to post in the Tech/Bug section and wasn't allowed, so I re-subbed in order to post. I was going to re-sub eventually anyway so that wasn't a big deal. If other Premium players are able to post I'd like to know why some could and some couldn't. There's a glitch somewhere.

    Serious question: What makes a "full" bundle? I'm clueless.

    I just checked the costume bundles, and while all of them are 400 points each, they vary in the number of pieces. 43, 36, 25, 23, 21, 20, 2 @ 18, 16, 11, 10, and a 5 piece cape bundle. The CoT set is 12 pieces. None come with auras, emotes, or powers. So why the CoT set dislike?

    Agreed. They should also be able to post in the Gameplay/Technical Issues and Bugs and the Player Questions threads. They get no in game support and the Help channel is limited in scope. Many of the guide links I tried to look at gave me 404s, and one of the best things about this game was being able to get help on the forums. The severely limited ability to communicate in and out of game might turn off some players.

    Yeah, I know they play for free, but that doesn't mean they won't spend money in the shop.

    NancY: I think the reason people say you should take all of Time's powers is because of the way they stack. Some powers put special effects on mobs (e.g. Delayed) that cause other powers to be more effective. I think this is true of the buffs as well.

    I'm planning on taking the whole set myself.
    Well I had already taken it before War-Nugget posted that build. I liked it when I was soloing to catch up to 13. How many slots does it need if more than the first?

    I don't use Mid's the way most people do, to check stats and survivability, I just use it to have a plan so that if I go to level up during Isos I can do it fast. I don't care about dying, I only care if my dying slows down the team.

    Do you guys all try to get the max out of a build? If I don't do that am I going to be a liability to you guys?
  12. Does anyone have suggestions for a Time/NRG defender build? I've been away so long, and have no knowledge of the new power sets, that I don't really know what to take.

    I've tried to look up */NRG defender guides on the forum but all the links were dead. One thing I read about Time Manipulation is that you'll want to take all the powers, are they all that good?

    I'm not into invention enhancements beyond the basic ones I can (maybe) make and any drops I get, so keep that in mind.

    Thanks.

    What I'm seeing here:
    When you log into a server when you are not a VIP it will automatically lock every character on that server. If you do not log onto a server it will not check your status, and you characters will not be locked.

    When you become a VIP and log back onto the server you are locked out of it will grant you enough unlock tokens to cover all your characters on that server and you need to manually unlock everything.

    It's fairly confusing, not very intuitive, and fairly tedious to unlock everything yourself. I don't understand why it doesn't just unlock everything.
    Hmm. I didn't get extra unlocks though, only the ones you get as Premium based on your previous years played, etc. I haven't logged in yesterday or today, I'm going to see if anything has changed now.

    Edit: Yay! Now I have 9/21 used. I don't know why it took so long to sync with the VIP status, but that wasn't there when I made my original post. I did just get an update and it verified files, maybe that fixed it. Whatever it was, I'm just glad I can use all my characters now.

    ^That.

    But then I left CO for EQ2. Then I took a break from that and was playing Sims games. I haven't had a lot of time to devote to mmorpgs, so Isos once a week works out well for me.

    I can't believe it's been 2 years since I played here. Time flies.
  15. Can I sign up?

    I haven't played in 2 years, wasn't even a good player back then, have forgotten how to play, can be a biotch at times, am using a new keyboard that's driving me batty, and may have to leave early to get my kid, but other than that I think I'd be an asset.

    I've seen a few people having the same issue and the locked characters are on Justice.
    Victory.

    Bah, it didn't work. Thanks though.


    This must be a bug when using the slot unlocks and then going VIP.
  17. Weird situation:

    I haven't played in 2 years, logged in as Premium and used all my server character unlocks, plus one global. Popped into the game last night, today I decided to upgrade to VIP.

    I immediately gained access to the forums, in-game support, and the Going Rogue power sets (I didn't have GR previously). However, my old characters on all the servers are unlocked except for on my main server. The characters I didn't unlock with tokens, or whatever they're called, are still locked!

    What's up with that??

    I re-started the NCSoft Launcher, and the game, but nothing works.
  18. Damn, I forgot it was Wednesday! I wanted to be there for this one, sorry I missed it. It was my parents anniversary and I spent it with them. I probably won't make next week either since my sub will run out before then.

    Thanks to everyone that ran Isos, and to those that led teams each week, I appreciated it. To everyone I have teamed with, thanks for the fun. Good luck to you all, take care, stay safe!

    ::hugs::

    Let's just say that I16 is near, I got in all my games here I wanted, and I played the rest of my cards. I got less than 100 posts to make it even, and what happens after that is out of my hands.

    LET THE CONFUSION BEGIN!

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion and that was mine. If I don't agree with you that doesn't give you the right to publicly imply I either am, or should be, a drunk. Don't take your fear of Hamster out on me.

    While I'm sure the rest of your post makes sense to you it's gibberish to me. I'm sorry that your attempts to liven up the Victory forum didn't entertain me as much as S_Hamster has. My bad.
  20. The forums just got interesting again.


    I think they brought Satanic_Hamster (see I wrote the whole name to avoid confusion) back to liven up the boards. Plus, CoX has him and CO doesn't.

  21. To make it official: I won't be in Isos 7.


    MG, you procrastinator! I'm lifetime, sorry you didn't make it in. Maybe they'll "find" more subs.

    Basically those that are further along than everyone else are those that come on time and stay the entire allotment of time. No reason for those people to turn off xp because others are leaving early/showing up later.
    ^That. I missed a couple meetings in the earlier levels and caught up on my own. The times I did show up I wasn't late, didn't leave early, and I'm at 49.

    Except, this is a game not the real world. NCSoft has to take a lot of things into consideration before they allow certain things to take place. The billboard ads were static and not something players could influence. Logos would be different, they'd be placed directly in control of players. Player behavior would be connected to them, like it or not. NCSoft could be held responsible, at least here in the sue happy US.

    In my opinion it could open a can of worms for NCSoft and might not be worth the aggravation that could be a result. If that's something they want to get involved with though that's their choice. There would be legal contracts and lawyer fees to pay and they might have to pay a royalty depending on how big the brand is. This game isn't big enough for a company like Disney to want to give away it's logo to, or pay to use its logo. WoW maybe, but not CoX. The game in the OP was free to play, companies might assume that means a larger audience to influence with product placement.

    I don't understand the people that want more reality in their game entertainment. Why not just play real life if that's what you want. You and your friends can hang out wearing the same Coke t-shirts. Or fill in your brand of choice instead of Coke.
