Lost my own father at 63. It's incredibly hard but you do pick up and survive. Best wishes.

Like Shadow Spider, Abyss and Mercedes Sheldon for appearance and Silver Mantis for "fun".

No problem. I hope the next SSA raises the bar from where we are now because even with you disagreeing with me, you're picking out a lot of problems yourself in this story.
S.
At the end of one of the SSA, the remaining Phalanx members split up to assginments: Numina is supposed to help with Psyche. Since Numina has deep knowledge of Magic, why isn't she in the least alarmed that Psyche is deep within Oranbega for an unknown ritual? Weren't Citadel and Synaphse supposed to help out as well? Where are they? Oopsie, guess they forgot that their friend was marked as a target. :/
I have had fun running these but some of the arc seems built of Plotholeium... -

Billy the Kid used guns, I'm gonna consider him tech.
A good example of Tech might be Doctor Octopus. I'm kind of foggy but doesn't he have a suit that enables him to boost his strength and so on? Could be argued as science I guess...
Naturals can use their body alone or tools in their environment but it is their own skill and training that enables them to surpass their opponents. -
Awww
Nice having you around Bea. GLHF. -
I re-rolled my namesae as a Mind/Bubbles on Exalted (identical), Mind/Kin on Infinity (different), VEAT on Infinity (different) and so on.

Kadabra Kill for me...

Open your game and your chat interface and find the word "Tab"
Click on that and then select "New Tab".
Name your Tab.
Start adding from the list to the right...Broadcast, Request, Team, System messages, tells and any global channels you have.
Click "OK".
Your tab will then appear in your chat window and you can left-click/drag to place it where you would like. -
Seems like a lot of work. Always thoughts MMOs boiled down to:
1)Idea;
2)Discuss idea in a meeting;
3)Tell engineers to implement idea;
4)Get Marketing to publicize idea;
5)Have some lunch and play nerfball;
6)Release Arcanaville for feedback.
How wrong I was... -
Got a Catalyst during a Keyes run, so they are indeed dropping in high-level tasks.

What about the Uber Leet Packs?

Quote:Exactly. It appears that the extra income from Freedom is replacing some of the lost subscribers and even topping it off somewhat. How long before people get tired of the new shinies and stop adding Paragon Points to their accounts is the question.Originally Posted by Codewalker
Guess it depends which other games said that and how bad of shape they were in when they went F2P. If they were struggling, I'd expect a much bigger percent increase than a game like CoH which has a relatively stable (even if not overly huge) core subscriber base.
I know myself, 2 accounts = $30 + about $10-30 per month in Paragon Point purchases is about $60-$70 for our accounts, per month. A lot more than I would expect to pay for an MMO, but I'm getting worth out of the costume bundles and à la carte model. -

I will be using the solo content myself on alts that won't be seeing a lot of trial play. It's nice to have the option, especially on low-pop servers.
Nice write-up by the way.

Quote:Right. The only questions that need be asked are:Originally Posted by Aggelakis
I would be worried too if their other games weren't in the crapper.
Is City of Heroes in mainteance mode, and are the developers releasing new content?
The answer to those are no and yes so we should be clear of DOOM for the time being. -

I bought all the Brute IOs on the market, then bought 12 packs for Catalysts so I can have the enhanced versions. 12 packs - not a single Catalysts. I was starting to wonder if I'd read wrong about these dropping catalysts. Did the RNG just hate me?
I got one in the three packs I got, would rather have had a costume piece or a purple or something. ;P -

Now if only there was some way to monetize gladiators, arenas or even PvP in general...
I bought two packs, one each account. Got 5 costume pieces, a Catalyst, a Controller ATIO and various doohickeys including Reward Merits, Expereinced and some inspirations. Not bad but I cannot see myself getting a 24 pack bundle with new powersets coming out soon. -
Kheldian, Dominator and Controller are dirt cheap! Grabbing my Kheldian ones asap.
-
Kheldian ones are cheap on Market, woot! Got 3 Dom ones off Market, hopefully they never reach purple prices.

These are great and there are enough characters in both cities to keep this happening for the foreseeable future.
Great work devs! -
I'd love one of these; so many alts stuck in the high 20s to mid 30s with that long slog ahead of them...at the very least let us buy the Patrol XP booster power.

Maybe the next form of competitive league in COH should be using toons that free accounts can play, IE no Invention Enhancements, No incarnates.
I would push to forbid the high kb range powers because no kb prot is kiss of death but I think that kind of league may be better attended than the uber league.
1)Hamis usable but not a big deal;
2)Could slot single purples or PvP IOs without them showing on Powers list;
3)Even IOs might not be noticeable, like the +End or +Regen ones.
We did SOs + KB protect ones on Champion for their training league and it was fun but BOY is end an issue... -

I'm not interested in playing a gimped character. I come to this game for the empowerment fantasy, and if I'm told my character's going to suck wind for the next 20 ******* hours, I take a hike. Or better yet, I don't do the mission.
.
I have done this once with no negative impact but if one of my favourite alts were to be crippled in this manner I would be furious. Make the debuff end when the arc ends or give us a "Curse Breaker" as Vanguard does to get rid of the stupid thing.
P.S. Don't use *MY* characters as experiments in your RP shenanigans Devs! Just feed me missions and rewards, that is *ALL* I want from this game! -

1. What must one do to acquire the resources needed to make Inventions - recipes and salvage? Can this be done by just playing Story Arcs and regular missions like I always have, or do I need to run Architect missions or farm Alignment missions or such?
Salvage drops often during normal gameplay. You can buy random salvage with Reward Merits or AE rolls or you can use the Auction House.
2. Is it possible to build specifically at level 50, using only level 50 Inventions, or do I have to have a menagerie of different numbers on my Enhancements screen?
You can get all your IOs at 50, they are plentiful at that level but you may want to get some IOs at their earliest level, such as your level 20 Miracle proc.
3. What defines "cheap" vs. "expensive" sets? Market price? Ticket cost? Merit cost? Is there any way to tell which is which before I commit to it?
Rarity. Uncommon (Yellow) recipes usually max at 5,000,000 for frequently used with some procs much higher.
4. Does everyone have to build for Defence? Seemingly, whether your sets provide defence or not, and even whether you're melee or not, everyone suggests building for defence. What else should I build for as a general thing? Recharge? Endurance? What?
Depends on need. I build my Dominators for +Recharge so Domination is up multiple times. Some of my characters need a little damage "oomph" so that is nice. Extra hit points are always fun...
5. Is it possible to develop a basic template that's at least generally applicable to a whole AT with whatever amount of tweaking, or does every character essentially require starting a build design from scratch?
You can template to a degree. Your Controller wil probably slot Hold/Sleep/Immobilize enhancing sets and so on...
6. How much work is it to put together a decent, "cheap" build at the level cap as opposed to, say, buying a full set of Common Inventions, assuming I have the build worked out beforehand?
You can get a decent build from 25 million to 200 million...remember that if the goal is "SO-level" performance you can Frankenslot (mix and match) sets until your accuracy, damage and so on are close to cap. A lot of the more popular IOs can be had for two Alignment Merits. You can get a lot of mileage out of some uncommon sets like Crushing Impact, Doctored Wounds and so on...
