  1. Okay I've got a number of accolades, Portal Jockey, Atlas Medallion etc that give relatively small increases to health/endurance.

    The question is this: do they add purely to the base percentage? (ie my base Endurance) or do they add to the existing total?

    I'd like a 50 of every villain AT, myself. Sadly I can't stand how widows pre-24 play, so I can't be arsed to level one up..

    Shouldn't this be in technical issues?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No it's a plea! The bug is known... but it's not getting fixed

    FFM might not be getting it, I get it every single day. If I get a tell go through first time I'm amazed. It's a pain when finding talking to friends in game and it's worse when trying to get teams because you cannot be sure your message has gotten through/been received.

    Before sending it, try tapping the HOME key, to go to the start of the line, then END to go back to the end. Seems to work fine for me if I do that.

    Not saying it's not happening to you.... Just saying, it seems to be behaving for me over the past few weeks, but then, I do the HOME/END thing...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I'll try that... but I am also receiving broken tells too. That means _if I'm lucky_ that I might get the last letter of a name with no message.

    example - you write:

    Floating Fat Man: Hi

    I receive:

    n

    then I have to type /r to find out who is messaging me and ask them to repeat it.

  6. Gratz. Now you can go farming for inf with a clear concience
  7. I don't know about you but I'm having to double up on my /tells because they just don't work.

    This is the most annoying bug I've ever encountered in CoX - worse than the station bug, the Synch bug and any others!

    PWEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE give it some Dev Love ASAP

    Has anyone ever leveled throuhg to 50 only taking pool/Ancillary powers from lvl 6 onwards?

    lvl 1 One Primary and One Secondary
    lvl 2 One Primary OR One Secondary
    lvl 4 One Primary OR One Secondary
    lvl 6 One Pool Power (1st Pool)
    lvl 8 One Pool Power (2nd Pool)
    etc

    You get 24 powers by lvl 50, so the first 4 powers from your Primary/Secondary plus 4 pools each with 4 powers and all 4 powers from 1 Ancillary pool = 24 powers.

    Would think it's possible, but you're going to have very limited firepower. Which pools would you go with?

    [/ QUOTE ]


    You can probably do that with a Blaster, but you're gimping yourself horribly. That's a job for 2nd build I think
  9. I'd also recommend using Mids Hero Designer to work out what sets you want and where. It gives you a great insight into the powers. You can find links to it all over the forums here:

    It does seem that this has been dragging on for a number of months now.

    Banks? Or NCSoft dragging heels?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Why would a bank drag it's heels to take money off someone?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Because they might have to change one of their systems?

    As we are noticing with the credit crunch, banks move only marginally slower than your average glacier when it comes to helping out the man in the street

    Also useful for going to your day job. Would be nice if you could change the location say once a month or so.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Too much of an exploit I guess. But if you make it so that you get a new destination every other Vet Reward etc you could get potentially 5 destinations in 2 years
  12. [ QUOTE ]
    Make it that you cannot set the tp to anywhere in a hazard zone.

    will cut out 99% of exploits.

    Yep that'd do it I guess.

  15. Good point

    I once dinged 50 on the Egg Hunter badge on one of my toons (that's actually the most memorable thing about her now) but I guess you could do something like ding every level with a significant badge. (Tougher at low levels I guess) and finish at 50 with the Top Dog badge (and then maybe the Atlas Medallion at the same time?)
  16. Just shudders at Marvel Zombies and wishes Robert Kirkman joined them
  17. Great suggestions but I'm unclear about how you recall the information?

    It sounds nice - but I'm sure it would open up way too many loopholes. I'll keep my 'signing' for now until it's discussed a little further. However, it sounds like something that can be taken advantage of in bad ways...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well I've been thinking of it for some time and I've never been able to think of a loophole. Maybe if you set it to the Mothership when the shields were down and then went there when they were up (and use team teleport to get your 7 friends there) you get splattered on arrival (but if that's a danger make it so it can't get through the shield.)

    I'd imagine it would have a similar cooldown to the Pocket D/Base TP so hard to exploit.
  19. Ok there's a few vet rewards that don't really pass muster -and of course there's a requirement for a new one to be dreamt up every quarter anyhow.

    Here's one idea, that I think would be useful without game breaking. That's a personal teleporter that you select the destination once, and then it's locked in for that toon. (It could be given again I guess and a second Destination added?)

    I'm not sure how it would work mechanically... a selection from a list (a la Base/Ouroboros TPs) or you physically visit the place you want to go.

    It means you could, for example, choose a toon that is instantly ported to the steps of City Hall, or Wentworths in Steel, or outside Facemaker in Cap.

    But it does give a bit more flexibility for the seasoned campaigner without making the game too easy IMO. Clearly it needs to be individual for every character (otherwise only co-op zones are allowed) but maybe the accumulation of additional destinations may be possible and thus add more flexibility.

    A level 50 of every AT

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That's one I'm working on myself. I have almost 10 out of them 16. I counted 14 but I'm guessing you mean Bane Spider and Crab Spider separate ?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Umm.. yes... Crab Spider... Bane Spider as seperate. That's what I meant. Ahem, no miscounting there at all

    But if we count those as different there's nothing to say we can't have then the VEATs split into 3 each - they can almost be considered different ATs in one sense
  21. Here's a challenge:

    A level 50 of every AT

    That's 16 characters - and as someone who plays primarily ranged toons I'd find any melee based toon a bit of a struggle

    Personally if I started now I've got 13 to go, but it's not something at the top of my checklist

    Another goal would be to get every build within an AT to 50 then write the Ultimate Guide to that AT. With 3 blasters at 50 already aond one almost halfway, I've got a kind of insight into that but I'm looking to diversify.
  22. Very good

    The way you've textured the images reminds me of Alex Maleev's run on Daredevil which was one of my favourite picks until Brubaker borked it.

    Hmmm... I don't know if it is achiveable but a hero without any badges?

    That must be a non-veteran account for start but not sure about the rest.

    A villain without the Mongoose badge?
