  1. Character Name: Crystal Clear Kara
    Server: Infinity
    OS: Two machines - Windows XP Service Pack 3 - Windows 7
    Location: Cap au Diable Black Market

    Description:

    When the character tries to claim an email attachment, list an item on the market or retrieve an item or influence from the market, the following errors occur:

    i)There are pending global email transactions. Please wait a minute and try again.
    ii)Your inventory is full. This transaction cannot be completed at this time.

    Sadly, this is my banker...so currently locked out of a bunch of inf and loot, sigh.
  2. Having way too much fun fighting 54s and becoming overpowered atm.
    The groups I hang with have these down to a science, 25-30 minutes tops.

    Scrapper with super Fireball (Pyronic), yum.

    Viridian has a nice one before facing a Council higherup.
    LRSF has a few, one before facing Vindicators and another before Future Phalanx and one when you face Slinger, then another in the faceoff against Crimson then another on the last mission...
    Billie Heck has one in his Bloody Vicious/Pitbull.
    Sea Witch appears in two cutscenes...

    Most are pretty dramatic, not a lot of mustache twirling.

    Nope. Need to fill out first bin. Once second bin is full, perhaps.

    They are just there to someone to pick them by mistake... I dont get why anyone would pick them instead Incarnate component.
    Because I'm doing these trials almost 24-7 and I can cash in Astral Merits, Empyrial Merits and so on for the regular stuff?

    Plus, the level shift ones were going for 50-100 mil the other day...

    MEGA MIGHT FTW!
  5. Just wondering what the matchups will be.
    The site posted arena settings and so on but made no indication of if it was team v team or a FFA or whatnot.

    Thanks!
  6. I don't have arky's vent info and I need reinvite for @Neuronia and @Neuronium to the global channel.

    I'm glad you didnt lose the character altogether. Still, I dont see that issue as so important as to take the game down going into prime time US on a weekend.
    I had three slots open.
    The game indicated them as locked.
    Had to get another slot free at recommendation of GM team.

    It's probably not game-breaking, for sure. Maybe they didn't want to wait a week.

    It is.

    I moved a GravTA from Freedom to Champion, the game saw my slots as "full" so the character was in limbo for a day until the GMs were nice enough to help out. Additionally needed to free up a slot to get it done.

    If people are being locked out of their toons on arrival, that's pretty big.
  9. Ran Cutter on a PuG on Victory the other day.

    Was pretty fun but the last mission is a bit of a grind

    *SPOILERS*

    You go into Skyway City, eventually facing off against Duray and a clone Duray. The real Duray teleports to and fro, meanwhile you face off against Sky Raiders and, iirc, IDFs too. We got kinda confused after using the hopsital, trying to jetpack through the cracks in the highway instead of taking the sewer entrance...to the highway.

    *SPOILERS*

    Very visceral in the first part though, I'd certainly do it again, probably tonight with one my supergroups.

    For Kal, you need to do a tip mission redside. The tip will say something about wizards (?) and send you on a few missions.

    For Cutter, he's in Independence Port nearish the hospital area on a cruiser.
  10. My Kat/Regen and my Mind/Fire Dom come to mind.

    Kat/Regen Scrapper has an ungodly amount of recharge and purples besides, run my tips at +1/x4 without much difficulty, just laugh at Knives of Artemis tips (just /em dance on caltrops). Reconstruction is up every 15 seconds to 20 seconds, Dull Pain is perma (can re-click before the +HP bonus dissipates) and smashes stuff exceedingly well.

    Mind/Fire Dom is double perma. If it's not confused it's either a statue or dead.
  11. Throw me into the slot issues.

    I moved a character from Freedom to Champion to help out and got this message:

    "Character XXXXYYYYZZZZ is currently locked for an account order. Normally, this only lasts a few minutes, but may take much longer. If this problem persists, lease contact Customer Support at http://support.cityofheroes.com"

    Had 3 free slots on Champion prior to Issue 20, used one of them for the transfer. Support has informed me I needed to redeem a slot to free the transfer...so I purchased another slot and the character STILL isn't available.
    Going back and forth with support about this but not very happy about having to shell out to cover a slot that was already (allegedly) available.

  12. Just give us Reward Merits or Incarnate Shards/Threads.
    Enough of the tons of currencies, the game is getting ridiculous with all of them

    Pick one system, stick with the system all thew way through to make for ease of use to the playerbase at large. There isn't any reason for the Shards to be unused to process any time of Incarnate ability. It's a perfectly fine, painless system that rewards casual and hardcore alike.

    Instead we have a relentlessly grindy system that will take some months, if not longer, to get their new slot open and buffed out. Conversely, an ITF could get your Nictus Shard and if you were lucky you got 8 shards along the way and were off to the races.

    Just stop it Devs.
    Stop creating new currencies every issue.
    Stop muddling the mixture with sub-currencies.

    It isn't necessary. Just pick one route and go with it.
  13. We did fairly well on this with an 8 person PuG this afternoon, good leadership helped. We used the acid and that alleviated a ton of problems. Sadly, we didn't have enough to dent Marauder, but it was still very fun.

    KM hits like a Buick. No way Concentrated Strike should do that much damage.

    Also, lf Posi 2, Citadel and Psyche.
  15. So how much are the new insps going to go for? One billion? Two billion?
    Should we even put them on the market?
  16. So did the Devs say anything?
  17. You don't really need to "lead" in this game unless it's against something requiring coordination like Cathedral of Pain, Statesman/Recluse TF, Hamidon Raid, etc.

    Generally, just invite people, set the mission, head to mission works.
    If people are straggling, ask them if they're afk or if anything is the matter.
    If people get bored, offer to do story arcs, maybe Ouroboros or a TF.
    If someone in your group is going off all the time (I do this all the time on my Kat/Regen ) then you can call them to order or tell them privately to stick with the group.

    If people start arguing with each other, try to defuse it as best you can.
  18. Psy/EM Blaster
    Sonic/Pain Corruptor
    Mind/Emp or Ill/Emp Controller
    Rad/Psy (TK Epic) or Rad/Sonic (TK EPic) Defender
    Elec/Willpower Stalker
    Grav/TA Controller

    Few that come to mind that I've seen consistently in Arena bouts.
    Zones, ymmv...you can probably build a Fire MElee/Regen and do well with it.

    Escape powers like Phase SHift (even if temp power) or Hibernate are a must.
    41 pts of KB protect on squishies, capped hit points will help a lot.
    Super Leap/Super Speed for travel powers.

    *Waits for dahjee to enter thread and counter everything said... *

    P.S. You should head over to Victory Server forums...they are having a newbie-focused PvP experience. Sign up there if you have the time available and join the learning.
  19. Had a good laugh at Aeon's comment, well played.
  20. Neuronia

    Alpha Slots

    It kinda depends...

    On my Kat/Regen I went Musculature all the way to the upper tier.
    +Damage is good, Katana does -DEF so the Defense Debuff is helpful, Webnade in Epic to the Immob is kind of useful.

    My Mind/Bubbler went Nerve (IIRC) for the Accuracy and Hold bonus and later on the Confuse bonus.

    The VEAT MasterCrab went Cardiac...because 8 or so toggles is painful. Both the Crab and Bane builds are already softcapped.

    I've tried to take Alphas that enhance the character's strength for the most part, Cardiac being the noted exception as it shores up a big weakness in endurance hoggity. I've also rarely gone to the ultimate tier, being happy with the second or third part of the tree for the most part.

    Thought they meant beer myself...I'd have one but with the Chinese take-out arriving any minute, not much point.

    Any bets on which path Golden Girl takes with her Incarnate progression?

    Speaking of barren landscapes, can we move the Regal badge out of Boomtown to...Faultline maybe? Or Talos Island? Would make my accolading so much easier.

    Also, are we there yet Papa Scthroumpf?

In contrast the incarnate trials are significantly easier to deal with because there is some safety with having more than 8 players. But those other TFs you simply could not pay people enough real money to even do them beyond the first time they get the badges. That should be a red flag right there.
    These can be run in 25 minutes or so with a good team, an hour with a pug, hour and a half with a bad pug. Apex is more challenging because of the blue clouds but you can avoid those with a little practice. Just because it's not a yawnfest like ITF, that can be completed with your eyes closed, doesn't mean it's not good design or not fun. More incarnate stuff is coming and it's likely going to be level 54s and harder than the normal content...
