Quote:lol, now that would be pure win.Originally Posted by Rodoan
Ok, you got me thinking in a similar vein, and now I want to see the devs put a pair of old geezers in the game that have an homage resemblance to Statler and Waldorf, both in looks and constant humorous critique
Statler: Hey buddy! You have your tights on backwards!
Waldorf: Made you look!
Both: HAHAHAHAHA!! -

Check the underground parking garage. There's a road to the east of Mirror Spirit. Follow it underground.

Can someone tell me where to find Arbiter Rein in Grandville? I can't find him on the map and he didn't automatically come up as a contact. I'm hoping to get my wife re-enthused about her level 43 stalker. Speaking of which, any recommendations for a first time patron contact?
Thanks in advance.
Get the map pack from Vidiotmaps.com; all the arbiters should show on their maps. -

Is there any way to return to pre I-17 nice, big, READABLE font for enhancement levels in the slotting screen?
The one used currently drove me nuts the first 5 minutes after I returned to the game after 3 months. -
Quote:Some people refuse to be inconvenienced in the slightest by anything that does not concern them. On my MMs I do put the pets away when at the BM, but if I'm only going to be a minute I might not.Originally Posted by Timeshadow
Hey everyone. The MM boards are a place I frequently visit but don't post in often because I'm not a Mastermind fan. I love 'em when other people are behind the keyboard but the AT's never appealed to me personally.
But none of that's really relevant to the topic. As of late I've seen several MMs (Mostly Demon Summoning) stroll up to the Black Market with their blazing, snarling pets in tow and just leave 'em to howl infernally while they go about their business. I'm just curious as to what you all think about that. Considering the presence of those pets in a non-instanced zone can slow down some older systems, is it thought to be poor etiquette to leave 'em out while you're marketeering? Do you dismiss your pets when you hit the market or just leave 'em hangin' around?
This is the exact same thing as people standing in the BM or WW for 15 minutes with some amazingly useless and noisy aura or PBAoE effect going (Arctic Fog and Quills, I'm looking at you), oblivious to the fact that it is annoying the bejesus out of everyone else. I usually turn off all that crap while I'm at the market out of simple courtesy and because I know how annoying it can be. It's usually the "I'm rude and proud of it, so shove off!" types, who don't give a rat's hind end how much they are annoying people, who can't be arsed to click off their powers while at the market. One-star them and move on. -
lol, I remember my first week playing. I was running between AP and KR via Skyway and I was just starting to think "man, this is just taking too long to be fun" when suddenly I discovered the Train and man, was I happy.

Quote:/agreeOriginally Posted by Eschia Mousehold
Other MMOs such as EQ2 let you do this too, and boy do people like to b**ch about what other people do with their characters. I hope CoH is different. I thought the aspect behind this game was to build your own super hero/villain the way you want it, but if I have to do things a specific way that someone else says is best, that defeats the whole purpose. If this means at level 50 when i finally reach it, people wont team or raid with me because of what enhancements i have, i'm best off soloing or only teaming with my close friends who got me this game. ;p
I go back a lil farther than that to EQ1, and then it was considered rude to "inspect" the gear of others without asking first. Back then, it would have been considered the height of rudeness to not only inspect others without asking but then to ridicule them on their gear as well. But then again, that *was* back in the day when rudeness was rare and was also considered anti-social, unlike today where rudeness is the "raison d'être" for some people. -

Quote:I agree. Coming from other MMOs, I just don't understand the seeming entitlement of some (ok, most) players regarding zoning. So you have to go to another neighborhood in the same city. Boo-hoo. Games like WoW make you run maybe 8 zones over *on another continent*, after taking a boat to get there, and we think using *superpowers* to travel to the next zone over is somehow a deal-breaker.Originally Posted by Decorum
I know I'm weird, but I find arcs that are all one zone to be kind of boring. It's more fun to move around for me.
Crying about not getting the contact's phone number sooner is equally lame. CoX didn't have to include this at all. Most MMOs make you hoof it all the way back to the contact *every time* just to turn in the finished quest or mission, let alone getting a new one.
To all these "zone martyrs", I say: Try any other MMO and you'll come back to CoX thanking your lucky stars things aren't worse than they are now rather than quitting in nerdrage just because you had to zone once per mission. -
Quote:The Mutant Booster is out? Why don't I see it in the NCSoft store? And if it's not out, how does everyone know what's in it? Sorry for the n00b questions from a 5 year vet...Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
I'd like to second this sentiment and add that I'm not surprised that there are people that are once again upset that something the devs have released didn't live up to their overactive imaginations.
Edit: Sorry, I just now noticed the posts in Dev Digest. Durrrrr.... -
Quote:Do you know if the perks from the complete collection (the costume sets and power you mentioned) will later be available as some kind of add-on pack (meaning only the goodies) for the folks who prepurchased and got the powersets early? (Guesses are acceptable.Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
That is correct. When the original pre-purchase thing came out it was stated that people pre-puchasing would get the powersets early but would not get the perks from the complete collection (specifically the extra costume sets and new power) or the free month. The Gamestop pre-order bonus of extra enhancements is an extra perk from people who pre-order the complete collection though gamestop.

Quote:Deliberately aggravating? To villains, maybe.Originally Posted by SpittingTrashcan
I disagree that GG does not wish us to believe that she genuinely believes that switching to heroside is a perfectly acceptable solution to the issues with villain content. I am choosing to believe that she is presenting a deliberately aggravating persona in order to get a rise out of people, because I actually find the idea that she is a remarkably subtle and consistent prankster assuming a persona preferable to the alternative, which is that she really is who she presents herself to be.
I like GG. She's like a Jedi-Hero. Supremely confident that Good will always triumph over Evil. She's never wishy-washy, she knows what needs to be done, and makes it so.

Wow, I couldn't agree more. I really think that the Devs need to implement this immediately before one more of my alts has to trek out to Striga or out to ol Winbag in the Hollows.

Quote:So, let me get this straight. The compromise is: "DO IT MY WAY!"? In what way is this compromise? Would you accept it if I said "Until there is an option to auto accept/decline, removing the prompt is the compromise."? Yeah, sounds different now, doesn't it?Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
Until there is an option to auto accept/decline, the prompt is the compromise.
The prompt (along with the new "recast" rooting animation bug) IS the problem. How can it be the compromise? -
Quote:The magic contact for the 25-30 level range gives you a mission named "Investigate the lost city of Oranbega", in which you find a scroll...Originally Posted by Durakken
Spoilers ahead...
The more i read up on Oranbega it makes me wonder why the devs didn't just call it Atlantis... It's obvious that it is.
Atlantis = Brutal Warriors and Thinker/Philosophers
Oranbega = Philosophers and Thinkers
Atlantis = Mu came first
Oranbega = Mu came 2nd
Atlantis = Ahead of it's time
Oranbega = Ahead of it's time
Atlantis = sunk
Oranbega = sunk
Atlantis = Supposedly ended for making the gods mad
Oranbega = Ended for making the gods mad
Atlantis = Supposedly existed in 12000 BCE
Oranbega = existed in 12000 BCE
So...two differences...but the first, historically speaking, the accounts we have of Atlantis comes from savages that were their enemies. I'm sure they would call our guns Brutal and us Warriors. and the second could be the result of a dev getting the mythology wrong.
With it being so obvious...Why not call it Atlantis?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Objective: You found an arcane scroll.
Clue: Testament of Ermeeth
Words in an unknown language describe the strange tale told by the pictures on this scroll. It shows a radiant being teaching people, fighting with other radiant beings, and finally leading a great exodus of people as they walk along the bottom of the sea.
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is why they don't call it Atlantis. It's not Atlantis. The founders of Oranbega came *from* Atlantis in a magical exodus led by Ermeeth to the shores of North America thousands of years ago. -
Quote:You're kidding, right? Right? I mean this seemed so over the top that you have to be kidding.Originally Posted by PuceNonagon
I actually want WAY more prompts. I want to be prompted when some jerkwad wants to give me Speed Boost or Adrenaline Boost WITHOUT ASKING! I want to be prompted when some inconsiderate rad defender tries to accelerate my metabolism without even checking to see if I like my metabolism right where it is. Don't force field defenders realize how ugly those bubbles look on my toons!? I want to be prompted so I don't look all stupid covered in bubbles, or have my fire-based toons covered in a lame ice suit, or my ice characters surrounded by silly little spinning fire rocks. I want to be prompted when some dead teammate causes me to have a flashing light on my head! I don't want no flashing light on my head! And I want prompts to protect me from my own stupidity, like when I foolishly hit a self-heal or something; I want the game to prompt me and make sure that I really wanted to do that. You shouldn't be allowed to mess with your hit points without at least being warned.
We need moar prompts!
(And just in case you're NOT kidding, I'm NOT arguing with you.) -

Players may once again choose to not accept or decline the Mystic Fortune buff power.
Why...I've only heard of a FEW that didnt like the auto hit and many that liked not having to worry about one more klicky...for once ya all had something fixed right!!!
I guess giving griefers another tool to screw with me while I street sweep trumps not being able to decline a buff. Oh, the horror...
Truth is, those that didn't want the buff AT ALL (waaah!) were louder (not more numerous) than those who didn't want the annoying pop-up in their face. -
Quote:If you're referring to the -renderthread switch, I believe CoX defaults to using it now, meaning you do not have to add it anymore.Originally Posted by zoltaire
I know there used to be a post on how to hyper thread your dual processors so that instead of each processor running at 50%, they each ran at 100% during cox. I recently reinstalled cov, and i need to get it hyper threaded up again, but after doing a forum search, i can't find the post. can anyone help me? do you know the command that i add to the desktop icon, or can you link me to that post? The last time i needed/read the post it was well before the forum update, and the new cox page look.
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure. -
Quote:Really? Where do I give a Yes or No to keep the damned prompt out of my face?Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
It is the fair middle ground between the differing opinions.
No one likes the prompt, but it is what makes things equal between the two camps.
I don't think anyone would disagree that an always auto accept/decline checkbox would be nice... But until they do that, we'll all have to give a Yes or No to get what we want.
Can *we* whine and complain now to get it changed back? Why not?
Thanks, crybabies.
