  1. Do we know if there will be some PAX 2010 love? The devs sure have a way of ignoring their east coast subscribers by not going to any ComiC Con/GamingCon anywhere east of Texas...

    I plan on going with the BF if they go to PAX 2010 -Boston. I know several MMO players that don't even know this game and the ones that do refuse to play this game!
  2. I have to say that Artic Air made me giggle.... I ut it on and I satback while everything was confused and slowed to a crawl...

    I am not working on an Earth/Ice and an Ice/Psi...yumm!
  3. I know!

    ST Hold/Immob (I didnt take the ST Immob)
    AoE Hold/Immob
    TAoe Stun
    PBAoe Sleep
    TAoE Knockback/down
    AoE Slow

    I usually find myself creeping around a corner and throwing down the Slow and then EQ and using some AoE goodness from Frost Breath and as soon as I get to Patron Level Ill pair it up with Bile Spray and Stone Cages so that Water Spout doesnt make them move around and get tossed like a ragdoll. As soon as I see Waterspout blinking Ill toss the AoE Hold and go back to theBile Spray and Frost Breath and when VG dies Ill slow and stun them and reapply a AoE Immob.

    my only problem is the damn pet, I took him for the dmg but I heard he has some serious ADD issues...
  4. I am able to solo fairly easily using either Stun+Immob or Stun+Slow. The Mass Immob isnt something I use often in batle but I do use it as a combo when its avaiable.

    Does QS stack? I am able to pull off about three applications to create one large...LARGE patch of QS but I dont think itll be able to stack just create a large zone of slow effects.
  5. Ugh...The I am doing something definitely wrong because they run away far to fast from Quicksand.

    It does recharge fast enough that I can create carpets of Quicksand in a room and when I am with a /Dark Corr I can slow down the entire mod down to a crawl.

    How many IO's should Quicksand get I have two in it currently, 2 Slow and 2 Rech Redux.
  6. Ok, I guess Ill drop cages? I've been using Stone cages and Stalagmites to keep them stunned and in place though.
  7. but wouldnt the AoE Immob, Waterspout, Frost Breath, Bile spray combo with an added TAoE stun be lethal? I mean I could replace Cages with VG and still be effective
  8. Wouldnt you just take Stone Cages for a combo with Water Spout and Frost Breath? Or even for a soft lockdown between Cages and Stagalmites?
  9. what about using the controller tactic of cages and the aoe stun?

    I have an Earth/Ice and am irritated by the damage, I know Ill take Stone cages for a Cages--->Water Spout--->Frost breath chain eventually.
  10. any good Earth/Ice Guides? I have mine at31 and I am not seeing that much damage or control, am I doing something wrong or does the Earth/Ice combo just generally suck?
  11. I highly doubt Marvel will allow a CoX ad with their interesting history...but nonetheless, there needs to be some sort of advertising/marketing campaign. They can hire the fat guy from The Bare Naked Ladies but they cant do real ads that will be placed in mass media? I am sort of irritated by this?!

    I mean there has to be some glitzy-named actor or dork that plays CoX and why cant we get a stupid "Night Elf Mohawk" like commercial/promo ( and yes I really want to take a sniper rifle to Mr. T for that commercial...it is irritating it runs ever 2 seconds)

    The prime medium that they could use is MMORPG.com or even on G4 , I say they start doing something before it's too late.
  12. I don’t see why G4 can have exclusives on CO and WoW and nothing on CoX? I think that marketing and advertising are in the same space...

    I wouldn’t mind seeing 1 TV commercial or some print FB ads or anything that will bring in new players? WoW does have a lot more money to make TV commercials but let me ask you this: Wizard101 doesn’t have a lot of players and they get 3-4 commercials a night, what are we doing wrong?

    When games such as Wizard101 and Maplestory get primetime ads and Maplestory and Wizard101 are free2play I don't understand what marketing/advertising is doing other than telling devs not to say a word about anything unless the people from marketing say its time...
  13. Maybe it's just me or does the CoX marketing dept suck? Can we get some TV comercials or at least some sort of advertising?
  14. I am not thinking of 30 new zones...Just one zone thats all I am tired of the old zones and would want something else to explore
  15. --Toxic Blast for Defenders/Corruptors

    The fact that we have actual animations for powers that shoot toxins at you is great. You have the green venom blasts fro the Life Mages, Bile Spray from the Leviathan Epic, Venom Sprays from the Snakes and then you have the projectile vomit from the MM Zombies. I dont see why we cant have a powerset that gives us serious Toxic Dmg or even Smash/Toxic Dmg.

    --Start adding Patron SF's

    Just how the Freedom Phalanx have their own TF's how come we cant get Patromn SF's that are offered by the villain patrons? I was looking through Paragonwiki and the number of TF/Raids offered to Heroes pales in comparison as that of villains. To say that the Patron Arcs can be SF's holds true, give us patron SF's.

    --New Villain only zones

    While the devs said that they learned their lesson from COH and didnt give villains tons of empty zones, they created a villain world that has few zones. I think they should break the rules and give us new zones. There are tons of smaller islands and maybe set up an underground transport system that will link Cap to Croatoa through an Arachnos submarine base.

    They cant convert Dark Astoria into a CoOp zone that works as a story enhancer for The Midnight Club. Have Villains and heroes fight to save their livelyhood from the arcane factions that want to control the magic of Dark Astoria.

    Give Siren's Call a revamp and make it a regular zone for either villains or heroes.


    --Better costumes

    All I have to say is "Vines"....no need to elaborate.

    Hello Champion

    Are alot of people actually coming to Champion? How bout some redside love?!
  17. I wish we could transfer bases! I have a solo base that I would LOVE to take with me!
  18. ...Maybe the Devs should have thought this out... you have N00bs testing an expansion, and you have people that bought the acct for three months and cruise controlled.

    Loyalty should be related to the amount of vet badges one has...

    Actually I like my avatar...I like the badge...No I mean like doing something else that isnt rikti related.
  20. ...so with the capsule being opened and nothing worth mentioning released... can we finally move foward?
  21. I teared up while reading a few of these letters. I don't think it will mean anything ingame but just more lore.

    I wouldnt mind seeing what Omega Team looked like? I went on paragonwiki and only found photos for Hero 1, Glacia and inferna.

    Then what is the point of becoming a Rogue/Vigilante if no one trusts you enough to give you a mission? What options do I have as a rogue? Will there be new rogue contacts on both sides or will I rely onnewspaper/radio missions?
  23. Is it possible that in some way or form we get the Terra Robe having a longer capelike feature for the front and back tails?

    A few issues that are small there but could get large with live.


    3. Lord winter 226K hit points ? I play on low volume servers. When I looked at our pop villainside before heading over there were 26 villains on that weren't hidden and 60 some odd heroes. He can and will be a problem for teams that aren't well formed or large. Villainside I don't think we could have mustered up either.
    Champ Redside is as dead as DA...The Halloween Event for me sucked since there were only two people on at most times, the rest were hidden and in AE
