Not necessarily. My character's mouth doesn't move and it does not exhaust a foul, dense breath. This could simply be voice coming OUT of the radio.

Looks pretty sexy, I'll be picking it up.

Will grav/kin work as a troller?
/kin would make combat go faster (heh), but grav is pretty lackluster at generating damage. -
the LFG tool in 'that other game' worked great, aside from unavoidable issues with occasional teams full of dipsticks.
The CoH version stinks and could use a makeover, wherever you lay the blame for its failure. -

Welcome back, Goat!
Unfortunately there are a couple of restrictions for non-subscribed players that will affect you. One of them is that you can't pay SG rent. You can still use an existing SG base but you need VIP access to pay rent to keep the lights on. Check this link for more details.
what about SGs I'm a member of, like the Crazy 88's (assuming they still exist- is Fulmens still around?). -
Triumph the Insult Comic Server is best.........

Maybe this will inspire me to finally get my mind/kin controller to 50.... -
Aside from my farmers who are built for performance, all my characters are 'concept' oriented. I take powers that fit my idea of them, not necessarily the 'best' options available.
I mean it's a superhero game and I want them to feel 'super', but the environment is forgiving enough that even my grav/TA controller with his idiosyncratic power choices & generic IO slotting gets the job done. -
I was nosing around this other free superhero game that was supposed to kill CoH (not the one based on an old RPG but the one based on the comic franchise).
The experience was so dreadful I was motivated to check back here.
My free time is still too limited justify a sub, but this 'free to play' revolution seems tailor made for my extremely limited schedule.
The new installer made me re-download the whole game so I haven't done much poking around, just logged in the Goat and checked the Sharkhead market (one sold item and 20 recipes purchased for some scheme I don't remember, wheee!). Limited slots is annoying but I haven't got the time for alt-itis so I'll just focus them on the characters I want to play.
The forum limitations are irritating- not sure how I'll live without my beloved market forum. Would it kill them to grandfather in players with 4+ years of paid sub time? Feh!
I'm going to work on wrapping up loose ends- finishing my uber l337 AR/Dev retrofit, finishing off the badges on my crafting guy, maybe throwing a few billion on the fire for SG prestige (if I can even do that with a leech account).
Anyway, howdy to all my old pals, and everyone else- hope to see y'all in-game. -

I'm sure most here are at least aware of the fact that WoW has lost about a million subscribers in last year or so. As of tomorrow, I'm one of them (officially cancelled my sub last week; it runs out on the 26th). While the reasons for all those cancelled subs are varied, one common reason given is the simple fact that, once an expansion is released, Blizzard concentrates all their subsequent development resources into end-game, group-required content. And the result of that is that those of us who, for whatever reason, don't enjoy raiding find ourselves with absolutely nothing worthwhile to do at max-level. Running the same circuit of daily quests on multiple level-capped toons (I have six) is a sure path to burnout, especially when running this "solo content" doesn't provide any significant rewards beyond "more gold".
Which, given your spot on demographic comments, it may well be!
Ditto here. The casual-centric nature of CoH is what kept me around for so long and what has me considering a return.Quote:Speaking for myself, I want "more depth, less twitch" in my games. I have neither the reflexes nor the eyesight I had in my teens and twenties, and I'm more likely to play a videogame to relax, rather than to try to impress anybody or challenge myself. -
Remember back when the market didn't have commas?
Good times, good times! -

I see lots of people around here who seriously believe selling an item for, say, a 100m benefit over 2 weeks is better than selling that same item for a 30m benefit daily, so it didn't seem too much of a stretch to assume this thread was entirely serious.
I was amused the market managed to correct a gigantic mistake I'd made, that's all. I've always advocated leaving stuff up in perpetuity unless you need the slots, this was the penultimate example why.
and hi everyone!

500 millions over 154 days = 3.24 millions per day.
Congratulations on your sale, but I'm glad I'm impatient. If I was happy with those amounts of influence, I would never be able to purple my warshades.
And as noted, Mope isn't a marketeering character, he's an experimental model- all he does is play 'normally' and sell drops so he doesn't need slots or care about efficient inf generation. -
I logged in last night for the first time in a good long while- insane toddlers negatively impact your ability to play video games, who knew?- and checked in on my "RP" stalker who I was using to track 'normal' player earnings on the way to level 50. As I'm too lazy to hunt down his personal thread, I'll just throw it up here.
At some point he rolled some merits and lucked into one of the uniques, a Miracle I think. Following my own rule "anything with zero listings is underpriced" I posted it at some ridiculous amount, 200m I think. This was, of course, right before Amerits crashed the market. But, I just left it there- why not? I don't do any marketeering on him so he doesn't need slots.
So it'd check on it whenever I had the urge to play him, and it just sat there, and the market price kept falling.
Cue this last hiatus- 154 days since I last logged him in, according to the screen.
I Ninja Ran over to the market to check on his unique- SOLD! Whoohoo!
I check the amount- 500 million! Double whoohoo@!!
Not sure what happened while I was gone to spike prices like that, or if someone just mis-typed or something, but I will henceforth be the ultimate apostle of the value of PATIENCE in high end marketeering. =P
I'll post a screen later, I just wanted to get this up before I forgot about it.
/edit
also, it was really weird- I logged in the Goat, who was inside the ski chalet, and instead of lagging out then spitting me into Pocket D it just....left me there. I hopped around a bit, did a ski run, got a time.....very strange. -
I'm not sure which term is more pointless and irritating, 'cossie' or 'toon'.
probably 'cossie' since it shaves a whopping ONE LETTER off the word it "abbreviates".
may a lexiconical black hole swallow them both. -
seniority would be more equitable than what they're proposing.
Still, be happy they're taking the logical step of merging NA and EU and don't sweat an annoying detail too much.
It irritating, sure, but the benefits more than compensate. -
the devs do what the devs do, it's their job to worry about this nonsense.
Quisling players who get all tingly when they find something to run to Daddy about still make me sick. -
Ful hit the main points.
Don't deal in bulk and you don't have to worry much about changing conditions, stick and move.
My rule of thumb for leaving expensive stuff up is "how badly do I need that slot?"
If I don't have a pressing use for the slot, I'll just leave things sit- you never know what kind of weird market effects players will generate if you give them enough time. -

Quote:I picked up one of the super-mega pvp IOs for my ar/dev rebuild project with the purchase price going into the 88's furnace. I bought it off market because it was much quicker and easier, the 10% didn't even enter my mind.Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
It would have to be for what some folks are suggesting (that more and more things are being sold off market to save on the 10% inf fee. Which by the way I think is an absurd assumption)
at that level of finance the 200m (or whatever) you save by avoiding the market fee doesn't really register- when I cleaned out my cupboards for the big Winter Solstice bonfire I found characters I'd almost forgotten I had on servers I rarely ever visit who had hundreds of millions lying around.
Sure, there are people who would choke and splutter at the thought of 'throwing away' 200m, but I don't think those players are buying 2b+ IOs in the first place. -
I'm proud I don't call any of my characters "toon", whether I use them to farm or not.
