    Nothing says 'Owe!" like 45mil in fall damage.

    I'm moving that weekend.


    But at least I'm starting a new job.

    Sorry, I really didn't need to read any further.

    **** no.

    I like that this game doesn't have 'gear'.

    fix'd

    Yes, server population has something to do with it, but if there were an equal amount of players on all the servers, the activity of the players on each server would dictate the order.

    Scheduled ship raids, zone-wide events, Robot Rampages. They all drive up the server load and creep the server down the list.

    There are many signature NPCs that have signature costume pieces, and the Devs have commented that want to maintain a uniqueness to those NPCs. So it is highly unlikely that you will ever see those available for players.

    Just started

    And just to warn you, there is a stigma attached to using the word 'healor' in the game, many players will assume that you 'Rock the aura' (put your AoE heal on auto and not do much of anything else) and pass you up for someone saying that they are a Emp/Dark Def lvlXX.

    Welcome to CoX. It's kinda like Hotel California around here, you can check out but you can never leave.

    Fix Praetoria

    Isn't that two flavours?

    As for Praetoria, I like it the way it is just fine. Some of the mobs can be a bear, even more so depending on powerset. When that's the case then I just fall back on... ZOMG! ...tactics ..and inspirations.

    I have yet to run a character through Praetoria and not turn off xp so I don't outlevel the content.

    Still, if the devs expand Praetoria to more zones (for more levels of content) it might behoove them to give us the ability to make SGs there.
    Actually, Empowerment Stations would make Praetoria ridiculously easy.

    As if my not being able to participate in this 2XP weekend would be any different than the last 3 years. I hate retail. Fortunately, retail can kiss my left buttcheek in 3 week.
  10. I agree with others that the bird head looks a little silly.

    And it would figure that 2XP weekend would happen on the weekend I'm moving.

    Then they'd just have to update the game with a new car model.


  12. I've actually seen people moving off of the high population servers. I know I moved a couple of my character off of Freedom during the last two rounds. Protector is my home server and it's always been claimed (by others) that it's a low population server, but you can easily get a TF going at any hour of the day/night.

    I don't use the transfers much, but it'd be nice if they made the free transfers an annual event.

    For the characters of mine where it really matters in terms of story, there is no 'well'.

    For one, it's the gradual return of the power she wielded prior to taking human form. For another, it's the dragon half of her nature becoming more prominent.
  14. Four more weeks. Just four more weeks and I will have weekends off and after three years, I will be able to join in all the weekend shenanigans!

    Well, yeah. I mean geez, that's the really important stuff.

    Because Angel Red is half-dragon, her costume slots are a progression of her growing into her half-dragon form.
  17. Unlikely. They have stated that there are already readily available 3rd party voice chat programs out there such at Skype and Ventrillo.
  18. Vista has the very usable 'Snip it' tool under accessories. I put it on my taskbar and use it whenever I want to nap a screenie.

    Angel Red was the first character I created 39 months ago, and I still play her.

    I'm going to guess they didn't put that in there without there being a VERY good reason. I'd bet that it's going to be someone anti-Cole. My guesses would be someone who is somehow related to Stephan Richter, or based on the white eyes and sci-fi costume, maybe a Praetorian Peacebringer?
    To me, that looks like one of ZNRGY_XERONUS's mockups, pasted over the Isssue 20 'What's this? Praetor Tilman Correction Facility image that ws at the San Fran M&G.

    Sounds like a team might be the only answer if there is no specific workaround other than DPS.

    Oh and do most of the missions have such troublesome foes?
    His bufercations (clones) ARE his primary source of regeneration. Take them out/mezz/hold/etc as they come along then return to beating on Trapdoor.

    It happens. I hope that updating you driver resolved your issue.

  24. Very good of you to offer this, Attache.

    I've not got a huge art collection myself, but I've already scored two from BAKArt, so I will not take advantage of this opportunity in favour of those who haven't.
