Hopefully this pattern will continue. On a different note, if I close the updater, and later reopen it, will it start all over or will it continue from where it left off?

And I guess that means I can merge this thread with one that I was going to post after the updater thing got fixed...so, newbie help time!!! REJOICE I SAY, REJOICE!

Ya, typical newbie questions: hows the community, any servers stand out as being better than others, how much end game content is there, any particular tips or tricks that you know that you wish you had known when you were first starting out?

Again, any helpful replies (or, for that matter, anything other than flaming) is greatly appreciated.

I pay for their sub for a month so they can play.

Find out they have been out partying etc etc

I ask if they can afford to go out boozing then they didnt need me to cough up for their sub, i mean i am not flush as i had to downsize my house with the recession.

No reply from member.

Gnaws at my sense of right of wrong.

I am afraid i cant play a game with people like that.If i did come back it would be with nothing to do with said player or said sg.

Now with this release I can't progress my 50's unless I do TFS, do the devs realise how hard it is to get a team together on some servers outside the US ?!

The time zone difference kills us. I am afraid if this doesn't change then this is the end of my 6 year run with this game.

As a hero, I can run the Midnighter arc and get future access to Cimerora very early in that character's "life." Before level 15, as I recall.

As a villain, things seem somewhat different. I run a stupid, boring and difficult arc for Ashley McKnight, upon completing which I am told to come back at level 30. I don't enter the Midnighter Club then, that seems to have to wait until level 30. Level THIRTY?!! [Not to mention that the hero Castanella arc is a major boring nuisance as well, but at least blueside there might be someone to team with to run through it quickly.]

Clearly I am doing something wrong. What am I doing wrong? What is the best, easiest and earliest way to get this plague of an arc out of the way for my villains?! Am I even talking to the right contact, because Ashley sure does not seem to be it.

Surely this can't be right, can it? Can we get a red name to confirm that we will indeed get free respecs? *puppy eyes*

I'm here until the streets of Paragon whistle with emptiness. I'm here until the Isles sink into the ocean. I'm here until Praetoria is consumed by war and falls. I'm here until the servers are shut down.

Why? Because I love it. I truly do love this game. It's given me more entertainment than any game I've ever played. The developers actually care (unlike some OTHER gaming companies with wildly popular MMO's), the community is understanding and knowledgeable (trolls are also few and far between), and I just feel powerful when I play.

on third pillbox, got attacked and killed by player
i think no big deal and great, because i have someone to battle in pvp

awhile later, i attacked someone who was apparently in RV for badges or some other reason than pvp, and that person got upset with me and started broadcasting about how rude i am and they were going to get their main pvp'er and kick my ****

i rarely broadcast in RV and didn't respond because of his attitude

i am sorry if i did something wrong, although i think he may have overreacted

i don't think i am a rude person, but i may be ignorant on the ways of RV

so if any regular PvPers could respond on the proper etiquette, i would appreciate it

So I found out from tech support that during safeguard side missions, only the player that clicks on the final object gets credit toward badges (eg, Fire Marshal, Bomb Squad etc). I also tried soloing the bank robbery but no side missions spawned. So, heroes are left with the options of: 1) depriving fellow teammates of badge credit in order to be the final one to click; or 2) play a ridiculous amount of bank missions (in themselves a time investment to get) so that all players have an equal chance to earn badge credit. Just wondering what everyone thinks...

The main reason I play MMOs is the cooperation with other people in groups/instances and I'm definately a PVE oriented player.

So far, Union seems a bit dead. I'm still on the trial and considering upgrading. Is it worth sticking around, will there be more opportunities to team-up with people or is CoH a dying game now? Also, what is this Going Rogue upgrade?

Cheers
