If anyone's interested in keeping in touch.

So long as the titan network remains, in some fashion, and I can see what's happening (because the forums will shut down eventually) I'm in for whatever it takes to keep this afloat. Be it stand-alone costume and base editors, or the entire game itself.

At least, in the credits, a goodbye with global names who've requested to be mentioned, or something along those lines....

Can't think...Too upset.

Hey Rose!

This is terrible. I didn't know Askari, personally, but my condolences to the family.

I started on Protector, because my computer (at the time) couldn't handle the load of Freedom or Virtue. Got my first 50 there, and made some really great friends, though on the downside, teaming can be difficult, because it is a mostly solo-esque server, and even at peak hours (before Super Sidekick System) finding enough of one level to SK the lower levels could be difficult.

Got a new computer, and filtered my way into Freedom where eventually the bulk of my friends were (and still are), and that became my home.

On a dare, for 1 billion influence (which was a lot of money at the time, and you could outfit at least 2 toons on it), I went to Virtue, as my primary server for 1 month. This is where I met my Real Life boyfriend, and embraced my creative side with Storyline Roleplay (not that E-RP crap) and made some great friends there. And I got the billion influence for completing the dare LOL.

Then Exalted came out, and initially I made my namesake there, with every intention of getting it to 50, and having another Solo/Friends Only SG. Yeah, that didn't happen so much. My would-be solo-SG became a fully functional, new members all the time, SG, where I had to step up and actually plan things and be a leader and stuff.

In conclusion, I have 3 homes now (having forsaken Protector almost 5 years later). But I will forever, and always, find myself clicking the 'Freedom' server any time I have the chance. There's something about 15 minute ITF's at 3 a.m., and the ability to generally get any team/league formed up in a matter of minutes, regardless the time, that keeps me coming back.

If this could be moved to 9pm EST, I'll love you forever. Gives me time to get off work and get home, and not miss out on the first run.

Either way, I'll show up eventually with one of 2 toons:

Inferna Inanis Fire/Kin Controller
or
Obsidian Aequitas DP/MM Blaster

Where will the party take place, so I can move toons to the zone prior to the event?

I'm in dire need for Master badge runs for Lambda, Keyes (I just had to put it in, even though there's a no mf'in keyes clause), UG, and Mag.

In short, I'm down for whatever LOL. (Pending I'm not at work when these events take place of course)

Keep us posted.

So, yeah, I haven't been around much over the last couple of months. Not that I've quit, I got burned out just before the double feature dropped, and I've yet to do it. But, I'm mostly back, now.

That being said, is this like any other queued event, and it forms up mostly in pocket d, or is there enough activity in dark astoria doing it as well, or where....really?

Thanks guys

Without turning this into another 'costume design thread' I'm just gonna put out an old thread I started some time ago, and the dire need for Tights Sleek Skirt options:

http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=283423

There's a large screenshot pic attached to the first post of the thread. Fair warning.

On a side note, I'd like to see emblems that can be positioned further down on the body, and aren't sitting directly on top of the chest.

Example:



In all honesty, the idea of more burlesque female costume options, like Silk Spectre I from Watchmen would be pretty sweet...But I'm not sure if that's more retro than Golden Age...

Oooo OOOOOOO!!! I wanna come play turgie!!!

Has there been any confirmation of being able to use threads/astrals/emps as the Hybrid Incarnate XP, as opposed to fighting Magistarium(sp? cause i'm lazy and don't want to look up the proper spelling atm) multiple times?

It's not that I don't want to do Mag, because I totally do, I just have more than enough of every incarnate salvage and specials (astrals/emps) to buy my way into Hybrid (theroetically). Or, at least x-fer the funds from one toon to another lol.

There are quite a few European players on Freedom, and I know of several that play on Exalted as well in the US a.m. times.

If either of those servers are of interest to you, I can PM you the global names of a few people who are around during Aussie peak times.

After a little sleep, and reevaluation, I managed to figure it out. It took making the room a bit bigger (longer really) but it ended up putting rooms on the edge of the grid, which is awesome in my book lol.

thanks for taking a look peoples

happy hunting!

Alright, have a little problem I just ran into, after having this 'brilliant' idea.

The Room is a Security Corridor, made small on purpose, because it's nothing more than a small pathway to a much larger room.

I've laid down 2 slow fields, wanting to make the room appear to look something like the Bifrost or an otherwise mythological bridge that leads to the world of our more 'godly' heroes.

Initially, I had thought to make the bridge relatively small in size (just big enough for a toon to move down the pathway, while making it rather obvious that the slow field effect isn't 'supposed' to be walked on, when I ran into this problem....



The slow field runs directly into the staircase (or any other step I would lay down), and therefore looks pretty stupid, in my opinion, taking away the values of walking into a separate dimension, if you will.

Any ideas on how to get around this little issue?

Changing room sizes is not out of the question either, I just want to keep the room size fairly small, and 1sq. narrow, so 2x2 and up is out of the question for the concept of the area.

Thanks guys

By saying 'generic io' are you asking for a build that is Single Origin Enhancements (SO) or crafted Invention Origin (non-set Recipes)?

Considering that you've stated you're not VIP, the account status of your friend is going to be just as important, because non-vip's can't use certain IO's.

I'm sure that was embedded in the patch notes for a mid's update forever ago, but I'm terrible at reading those. Glad someone else does...I would've never thought of it, LOL.

Now to redo like 500 builds >.<

This question would probably be better served on the Freedom section of the forums, but in answer to your question Mother Ship Raids, in my 4 year experience on Freedom, have always been sort of sporadic.

A year or so ago, myself, and a few others ran Mothership Raids/Cathedral of Pain back to back every Wednesday night.

To go a bit further, all it takes is 1 person broadcasting in the busiest zones, and normally you'll have 3 teams worth of people to at least take down pylons, and by the end of the raid there's around 4-5 teams worth of people who've filtered in by the time you get through the pylons.

You can also use channels to gather a few friends together to start things off, have 1 or 2 of them go around the different zones (red and blue) and run a broadcast that a MSR is being formed. Again, formation at peak hours (7pm cst - around midnight) is fairly easy, even on weekdays.

I wish you luck in finding your Mothership Raids. And if you've got one forming up, you're always welcome to send me a tell and if I'm on, I'll be more than happy to come join .

Good Luck and Happy Hunting.
