Just happened to me and I'm hearing it from others all over the place.

Taking my team street sweeping for now.

I'm all for a Bank, but with all due respect Billz, I don't see Method #2 saving you THAT much time or effort over Method #1.

Again, I'm all for a Bank, but I tell you what, after using complete strangers to help me transfer inf maybe a dozen times, I've:

1) Never been turned down,
2) Never been ripped off,
3) Made new Friends, and
4) Helped a dozen lowbies pocket some start-up Inf.

I hand out Inf to (low-Vet-badged) lowbies all the time, I don't see it as any skin off my nose to do so. Working an Inf transfer into the bargain isn't a big deal.

In fact all lowbies I've asked so far have jumped at the opportunity to get a leg up on the Inf account, and expressed gratitude for having chosen them to help.

One last time, I'm all for a Bank.

But using Lowbie strangers to help you transfer can be fun and profitable in many ways, on both sides of the transaction.


Ah, nostalgia... *wipes tear*

I transfered most of my heroes from Liberty to Freedom about a year ago because I really like running in big teams ALL-THE-TIME.

But sometimes I do indeed miss the much more mature, laid-back, idiot-free atmosphere on Liberty.

Hi guys! /e wave
Miss you! /e grief

We've all run into this at some point, but last night my team did a radio mish "Stop the Jewelry store heist".

Cleared the mish (it's a VERY VERY VERY small map), and didn't get the Mish Complete message. Everyone Exits, reset, try again, and again, cleared the mish but couldn't Complete it.

Filed a Petition.

Wondering if this is a new bug?

Yah I gave up a long time ago trying to definitively categorize just about anything in this life.

It's all a spectrum, it's all a sliding scale. There will be varying degrees of casual and hardcore and that's that.

Trying to "define" or "profile" anything outside of mathematical problems is just a waste of time and energy.

I'm not sure I understand - or really want to understand what this means.

(<----BTW is 41 but full of youthful vigor)

I'm firmly on the "teaming's not dead" side of the debate, but I HAVE noticed fewer and fewer people using the LFT flag. I began noticing it with the birth of AE, and expected it to turn back around post-i16, but haven't seen that so far.

I form teams EVERY time I'm on, I LIKE the star *gasp*, and modesty aside I run very fun teams (get positive comments pretty much all the time).

But let's see if we can't edumacate the masses on the utility of the flags, I'm seeing fewer and fewer people bothering, and it really DOES make things easier when LFM.

Doc_Kumquat - never saw that Sig before, I'm LMAO.

If "fun" is on your list of criteria - I'll second Ill/Storm. But you really should KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING if you roll one - it's very complex and easily played to the detriment of good team-oriented play, if done incorrectly.

But with a handful of 50s under my belt and a number of alts running, my Ill/Storm is EASILY, FAR AND AWAY my favorite hero of all time, play-wise.

As everyone has already suggested, go surf the Controller forums or look at the Player Guides section and read up on some of the various troller builds there.

Just to say that I've wondered about this phenomenon since practically Day 1 of play.

Difficult to believe some of the "real-numbers" freaks haven't tested this yet.

But if someone smarter/more dedicated than I could really crunch these numbers and come up with a definitive answer, I (and presumably many others) would really appreciate it.


Personally, I like playing +0 because it makes me feel more "super" to be able to plow thru baddies like nobody's business, but I keep my settings at +1 (lower levels), +2 (mid levels), and +3 (high levels) because I lead PuGs a lot, and think teams like to feel moderately challenged, rather than just grabbin' teh e-z xps.

i.e. If there's no chance of "losing", it's just not a "game", is it?

Hey just FYI I've already contacted Support about this, but I was charged twice for a character transfer on Sept. 22.

Not saying this has to do with the "Problems with the In-Game Store", but I'd recommend checking your bank statement if you've done anything game-related involving real money recently.

This - do this now before you get too far along on Pinnacle. Roll a "practice" toon (don't invest too much time Creating it) on some of the other Servers and see how the communities vary from server to server.

I recently paid to Transfer from Liberty to Freedom 'cause I like forming 8-man Pick-up Groups every time I log in, and Freedom (had) the highest pop at the time.

And sure it's easy to form teams on Freedom, but sometimes I miss the more mature, intelligent, informed pop from Liberty.

So by all means "dip your toe" in a few of the more noteworthy servers and see how you like the "temperature" of each.

As I was reading through Sapphire's post, it occured to me that I've not had ONE SINGLE negative experience with this game (other than some frustration after buying a new video card - nothing on CoH-side) in 4+ years of play.

That includes not just gaming, but forum-lurking, customer service issues, GM issues, etc. It's all been wonderful, start-to-finish.

Hear, hear on Sapphire's post, I'm with you 100%. Love the game, love the community and behind-the-scenes people just as much, if not more.

Gonna respond to what I think he's saying here...

I get off work at 12m ET every night. Home by 1am. Logged onto Freedom by 1:15am.

Form 8-man PuGs (of varying success) EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT.

All you need is a *polite, literate* bind like: /bind L "tell $target, Level $level-ish team LFM - join us?" and some basic leadership skills.

Takes maybe 5 mins (post-i16) to put together a team like this.

((funny story, my first night on, post-i16, I started sending Tell invites - I usually don't pay much attention to AT on the first pass, just take what I can get and fill in the blanks on subsequent passes. So I Tell/Invite 3 Tanks on my first pass, not expecting them all to Accept.

All 3 Accepted! And we were stuck with lotsa meat-shield but little control or heals until someone dropped team.

But I thought it was indicative of the overall effect of i16 to have such a robust response right out of the gate.))

Dear Ki Ki,

Ur doin it wrong.

Love,

Ill/Stormie

Ill/Storm = my most favoritest hero EVAHR.

What a great pairing that is - so fun, just gets funner and funner until by late 40s your head's ready to asplode with all the fun.

I have a bunch of 50s and far and away I had the most fun leveling that Ill/Storm.

Highly recommended for anyone who hasn't yet put those two sets together.

Yeppers that's what I'm looking for! Some WHAM CRAK THWOMP!

Thx Lemur - now back to the rafters - shoo!
