    No one has ever actually seen anyone gathering there - but it has been rumored that the accounts of players in the area when these meetings were said to have taken place have been wiped, and the account holders themselves have disappeared.
    Best. Conspiracy Theory. EVAR!

    This seems like a suitable work-around.

    Yes, it would collapse their income. €13.00 a month from 100 players (as you seem to think) totals up to €1,300 a month. Also, if the EU Servers were given free playtime, then a lot of players (both current and future), would head to the EU Servers, leaving a bigger gap in income.

    Both, but I do not see what that has to do with my post. I was simply saying that it has been stated numerous times by the Devs that a Server Merge is very unlikely. I'm not against it, I'm just telling you what I was told.
  5. Is it possible to copy one mission and paste it into another?

    If so, thanks in advance for helping me renovate my arc!

    In any case, here's another thought. Being able to select any NPC from the gladiator list you have is going to end with everybody always picking one specific pet, E.G. the one they think is the most powerful. At the same time, we can't have a system that creates overdpendency on the power to much. What if somebody specifically makes a hero or villain with the least possible amount of gladiator badges, and then specifically farms all of the boss-and-beyond gladiator badges in order to throw off an equally random selection process? A Shivan Decimator having the same chance of appearing as, oh say...A Lucent of Light is somewhat disconcerting, to say the least. Implement a system that acts more like a lottery, where getting NPCs gets harder the stronger they are.

    Minions should stand the highest chance of being selected. All minions should stand the same chance at being selected as another minion. They should have a higher chance of being selected than lieutenants and bosses. They should be selected within the realm of 75% to 80% of the time.

    Lieutenants, while not appearing as often as minions, should still appear frequently enough to expect them. All Lieutenants should stand less of a chance than being selected than minions, but a higher chance of being selected than bosses. The chance of any one lieutenant being selected should be somewhere around the 15% to 20% range.

    Bosses should appear rarely. That is to say, somewhere within the region of 5% to 10% of the time. This way, they do occasionally appear, and when they do, fun is had by all. But most of the time, not so.
    That sounds pretty balanced to me.

    For someone who is generally helpful to the community I find your continual attempts to lambast any other server other than yours very disappointing.




    And no, I don't give a flying whatever who's on which server. I just get tired of these kind of unhelpful comments.
    I say we somehow organise an April Fools joke which sticks GG onto Union for the day

  9. Belching IS a Nemesis Plot! Every time we belch, we release Nemesis' mind control gas into the Earth's atmosphere!

    Thankfully Nemesis isn't a Nemesis Plot.
  10. Sounds good, as long as people can have a 'Allow Base Tour' option.
  11. I like this suggestion, but as True Metal said, they can be OP.

    Make them unbuffable and maybe weaken them depending on their rank? Sort of how henchmen work, I.E Tier One Henchies are always one level below you etc.
  12. 1) Highly unlikely as it would lead to a collapse of income for Paragon Studios/NC Soft.

    2) How many times do people have to be told that a Server List merge is unlikely to happen?!

    Change Respec UI

    What I was thinking is maybe the Respec UI could do with a bit of a change.

    Here's my proposal; have an option to do a 'Minor Respec' or a 'Major Respec'. A 'Major Respec' would be the classic Respec UI we have at the moment where you re-pick powers a power at a time. A 'Minor Respec' would have a similar UI to Mids' where you can just pick any power from a list of your powers to add/remove it. This would make replacing one power so much easier.

    I'm not sure if this is possible, but just a suggestion.

    Sounds good to me

  17. I think that Union's great. Join Sals Badgehunters, they run TF's daily. Teaming, I find, is very easy
  18. You can always wait until GR comes out since they're doubling the file size. Although, I say that'll be bundled in with i17.
  19. Epic video and epic easter egg

    However, melee archetypes fight, in, well, melee. As in arms length. Not ranged.

    If you really want to play ranged and with weapons, try a blaster, defender, corrupter, mastermind or spider.

    I notice you really seem to want defense as a secondary. If so, roll a spider (villain epic) they have nice defense powers to boot.

    If however you continue to insist on scrappers with guns, then I will agree with Techbot Alpha, and raise the facepalm, in that this thread will need even more facepalm.



    So here you go. MUCH MORE FACE PALM:

    or not ... http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...24#post2537524
    They might give us the heads up for it tomorrow instead of holding the actual thing?
