Everytime I think I'm over it I keep getting reminded he's gone. CoH isn't the same without him. Used to be me, Sentai Rock, Sentai Firebrick, and Jake hung out online all the time. Almost everyday, not just on CoH, but in my minecraft server, on League of Legends...We'd play all kinds of things. Sometimes we'd just talk. I miss him. He was the first online friend I ever had, and even though I never got to meet him in person I'll always consider him one of my true friends.

Off and on.

But the Carnies live in St. Martial. It only makes sense that they'd have a parade there. And St. Martial, while it looks cool, has nothing going on. It would go a long way to spice up the place.

Carnie Parade Zone Event in St. Martial. Just saying, it would be pretty sweet.

No worries there. I resubscribed so I could use IOs. I figure while it lasts I'd run trials and some of the new content.

Freedom brought me back in. I was looking to run some incarnate trials but there never seem to be any forming when I'm on. Is there a usual time people run them? Like weekends, that sort of thing. Back when they first came out people ran them almost everyday like crazy. Maybe they still do and I'm unlucky.

Oh hey, it's working now. I kind of thought it was a temporary glitch or something, and not a permanent bug. I just figured I'd post about it to see if anyone else had run across it.

So I was sitting on 300k prestige and I added a TP room and bought some things and had about 90k left. I went to edit the floors and walls to make it match the new rooms and I couldn't change them. I could raise the floors/ceilings and stuff but not change the style. I noticed my prestige went from 90k to -90k. So I can't spend prestige and I can't edit my base style apparently. Nobody quit the SG or anything so I have no idea what happened. I didn't even think prestige could go negative. I don't owe any upkeep and the teleporter works fine so I don't know what's going on with this.

Good to know. I was a bit worried that if I invested into my defenses my attacks would end up packing all the force of an enraged kitten. Thanks for the input.

After a lot of play time I'm finally going to IO my first toon. I'm sitting on a lot of infamy and I'm sure I won't have enough but I'm approaching this in a "money is no object" kind of fashion. My only real goal is to turn my elec/shield into a monster but I'm not really sure what to aim for. Should I go for damage and recharge or is it possible to softcap any of my defenses? Shield doesn't seem like it's necessarily the most protective of sets so I'm not actually sure if I can softcap anything. Maybe I'm not giving it enough credit, or maybe my piteous knowledge of IO set bonuses is dragging me down. I was also thinking the recharge route could be fun because it would let me use my AoEs and probably turn my brute into a farming machine. I'm rambling, so to recap:

1.should I focus on softcapping my defenses or +recharge and damage
2.is it even possible to softcap Elec/Shield?
3.if it is, will the resources spent softcapping end up making my attacks under preform due to the focus on defense over attack?

I've been wanting to mess around with FA for some time and when I sat down to make a character I just couldn't figure out what to use. I'm kind of leaning towards dark and stone at the moment, but I honestly don't know which would be better. So if anyone's tried out a dark/fire or a stone/fire some input would be appreciated.

And there's so many awesome looking powers I can't bear to skip them. I'm already set on not taking a patron pool to free up some more choices but maybe you guys can help. Not asking for build or slotting advice just what powers should I definately not skip and which ones could I possibly skip without a guilty conscience.

Ah, I hadn't thought of that. Well one mystery solved. Thank you both.

I was in the options messing with my border colors when I noticed there was an option to disable earning exp. What's the point of that? I can't really think of any reason to do this and it's been driving me crazy.

"That's odd," I thought to myself, sniffing the empty glass. When suddenly...

Hello all. I got by bots/traps mastermind up to level 45 (5 more till my first 50!) and I've never figured out how to slot acid mortar. Right now it just has 3 recharge in it but is there a better way I could slot it to make it better. I mostly use it if there's a boss or something for the debuff but I heard people talking about slotting it with damage procs. Is this a good idea?

I was just wondering if there was a reason why Freedom and Virtue (I think nobody's on right now so I can't see which 2 get the yellow dots) have so many people on them? Is it just a coincidence? I mean I could see people back in the day making a hero and picking Freedom as their server because it sounds heroic or something. It's just been making me wonder if there's like some weird party going on in Freedom all the time. Maybe it's a trap and you can't get out...

Huh....I logged in today to give fixing it another try and it's fine. I republished it and Flight Only was gone from the mission's title. That was really strange....I wonder if it was some kind of bug. Well anyway I guess it all worked out then but that a really weird thing to happen...

Yeah, I have no idea what's causing it or how to get rid of it. And I highly doubt that there are maps in the MA that require you to have flight to do them. That would just be stupid in my opinion.

But I reviewed my mission titles and everything and I don't know why it's popping up in the title like that.

If it's important it pops up in the middle like this: Bringing Down (flight Only) The Beards. And I guess I could live with it if it was at the end but it's right smack in the middle of the title.

So I got done making a 5 mission arc that I was pretty pleased with and I published it but when I looked it up the title had (Flight Only) added to the mission name.

Anybody else experience this? Could it be one of the maps I used? What exactly does it mean? I can't test it out myself because it's got hard enemies and an AV to fight so I'd probably just endlessly faceplant after the third mission.

Wow I got a lot of hate. Although changing the inherent powers is a good point. Vigilance in particular seems very lackluster but I think many people agree with that. I didn't say I hated proliferation, just that it made me sad when they gave plants to the controllers. I'm sure controllers loved getting to play with plants when they got them. It's just a personal irk of mine since when I started I felt they belonged to doms since they were the only people who had them then.

I'm not trying to turn this into some kind of weird troll post or anything. Hell I thought I was being polite. I could have posted something RAGE FILLED in ALL CAPS and been really obnoxious about it if I was trying to annoy people. I just wondered if anybody else felt miffed when a archetype has one of it's power sets shared.

It's kind of like a kid who wants the candy all for himself but knows that giving half of it to his friend will make him feel better in the long run. He's still miffed about not having the candy to himself but he feels better since it made other people happy. That's pretty much how I feel about it in a nutshell. So if I really annoyed somebody I guess I'm sorry that wasn't my intention. I'm going to go hide now...
