  1. I vote for the Old Woman in Cimerora. She still has great legs for her age
  2. The thing that interests me about this event is the Captain Mako Week graphic which shows people swimming in the sea. Could this be a hint that the tech has finally been developed for the much requested underwater zone?
  3. Hi Riff

    Good luck with the business and your future. It was great teaming and having you involved in the SGs.

    Keep in contact via the IJ forum and fingers crossed you may return to Paragon one day
  4. Captain Harlock ahoy me hearties!!!

  5. Yeah, I think the merit vendor costumes are mostly terrible. Someone probably hit the random button in the costume editor to create those!
  6. Shouldn't the Vanguard costume bundle also be in the list of stuff on sale since it is listed on the web site as also being discounted this week?
  7. I seem to recall around the time that Going Rogue went live that I updated my ATI graphics card drivers and low and behold I was pleasantly surprised to see an advert for the game expansion in the install window showing off Desdemona's hot pant clad rear

    Yeah, I regularly find that my cursor disappears too.
  9. I would love to see Circle of Thorns Behemoths and Behemoth Overlords added as Lore Pets.
  10. I thought Dark Control was going to be a free power set for VIPs, while Titan Weapons was a purchasable power set from the Paragon Market?
  11. Hi Slaz,

    The GammaForce/Infernal Justice gang are still actively playing the game so you're welcome to come and team with us whenever your online.

    Hopefully see you in-game again soon

    Never understood why leeching in a 24 man team should earn you rewards faster than soloing, where can rely on no one and must accomplish everything yourself.
    Leaching could be a problem, but not one I have seen on the iTrials I have taken part in. If a player is sitting afk for long periods of time it won’t be long before they get blacklisted and people won’t invite them to leagues for future events.

    The problem I potentially see with solo incarnate stuff is how the difficulty will be balanced. An empath defender is not ideally suited to solo play where a maxed out IO built electric/shield brute is. The Dev's will need to take this into account so potentially the solo incarnate route could be either too easy for some archetypes/powersets or next to impossible for others so I suspect the difficulty will be set on the low side so as to give all archetype/powerset combos a chance to complete it.

    I don't know, because they are fun?
    Very good point. Of course most importantly i-Trials need to be fun to play and generally I think they are. Once you understand the objectives fo the mission and the league knows the strategy to be followed they are usually are. I wasn’t a big fan of the original Keyes Island trial, but since this was modified the new version is now much more enjoyable to play.
  13. I seem to be in the minority of people in this thread, but City of Heroes is after all an MMO. IMHO one of the main reasons to play an MMO game is so that you can get together with other people, interact with them and play the game together; or against one another if PvP is your thing. I’m a big fan of teaming and think the dev’s have given us a great SSK and league system to help encourage this. I play solo some times, but find this boring after a while and much prefer getting together with global friends and SG mates to run through the game content.

    Don’t get me wrong I’m not a huge fan of i-Trials, but I do take part in them when I have a spare 30 - 60 mins to kill. With the exception of the Underground Trial, the i-Trials have been designed to be completed relatively quickly so running them occasionally is not a big deal. Taking part in i-Trials is also a good way to meet other players who you may not otherwise team with and helps build the community on a server.

    If you don’t want to team, then the solo incarnate path should be more lengthy and time consuming. If not then what incentive is there for people to play i-Trials other than to get badges?
  14. One thing that caught my eye was that The Talons of Vengeance seem to have individual fingers rather than the usual 'mittens'. I wonder if this tech will eventually be made available to the player character models?

    Cannot log in

    I had a similar problem myself last week. In the end I uninstalled and reinstalled the NCSoft Launcher and bingo! I was able to start the game again. A SG mate had a similar problem last week too so I suspect this maybe a new bug?
  16. It's good to see that they finally got around to using the Super Patriot badge art even if it is a bit fuggly. It's a big pity we don't get the +5% max endurance bonus the accolade was originally going to grant

    Wish List for 21

    Here is my list of misc requests which I'd like to form part of i21 or be addressed in forthcoming issues:

    • Pretty please increase the cap on the maximum number of members who can belong to a SG/VG. 150 is too few

    • Pretty, pretty please increase the cap on the maximum number of character slots you can have on a single server. 36 is too few

    • More powerset proliferation: energy melee for scrappers, regen and spines for brutes, fire blast for defenders...

    • Allow epic and patron power pools to be customised

    • More alternative animations for powersets

    • Add some more Strike Forces

    • Rewrite some of the older poor TFs such as Citadel, Synapse and the Shadow Shards

    • Add some new powerset to the game such as the hinted at street fighting and bo stick/staff

    • Revamp the Boomtown, Dark Astoria and Shadow Shard zones

    • Review the original hero content and 'tidy up' the multitude of contacts and their story arcs

    • Allow alternate pets to be chosen for the Lore incarnate powers. I'm not a fan of having to use praetorian stuff

    • Allow masterminds to customise their pets

    • Progress the Council / 5th Column story line

    • + more new incarnate stuff ofc

    I19 Badge Guide

    Thanks and good work to all of you who have been pulling all this information together.

    With the new Danger! Danger! And High Voltage! exploration badges in Terra Volta, I suspect that there’s a Dev who is a fan of the Electric Six. I wonder when we’re going to get a Gaybar badge? Anyone want to lay bets on where it will be located

    Do you mean Imperious since the figure standing next to the purplish/pink DE looking monster looks more like him than Rommie?
  20. I'm sorry to hear that you will be dropping out of the game Forsaken. We have had some good team sessions in the past. I hope things work out for you and that we see you back in the game in the not too distant future.

    All the best
  21. Good news and a big gratz to you both on your forthcoming RL wedding. I'll try and join you for your virtual marriage, although 8:00pm BST is usually the earliest I can get on-line so I suspect I'll miss the event.
  22. If you've still got space on a team or have a no show for the run tonight please put me down for the event. I have a few defenders which could join you: empath/rad, dark/dark, kin/ice and rad/rad so take your pick.
