  1. DG for life, B!

    If we can't drop our egos in honor of friendship we might as well move to Freedumb.

    Love being back too!

    It's perfect.
  3. For me, undeniably and without serious competition, its Croatoa. The entire Hallowe'en vibe makes my day. Two fun GMs to kill (three if you count Sally, but she poses as much of a threat as an emp defender on a tequila bender), a great TF (with witch hats!) and you've gotta go there anyway to unlock your salvage costume slot.

    If there was a gate to the Shard (2nd favorite zone--I think of the SS zones collectively) from Croatoa I don't think I'd ever see PI again!

    Bring up your map in-game. There are tabs on the upper left that let you choose between zone and city wide views (enlarge the map to see better).
    When you mouse over zones on the city map you get their names, and the map itself will show you which zones connect to which. You'll see that Dark Astoria lies to the east of Talos Island.

    The city-wide map can also be seen in the train stations, although without the same mouse-over-for-name capacity.
  5. Thanks, Necro!

    I'd be glad to lend a hand!

  7. Thanks, Oldeb. Doesn't seem to have worked for me. I'll look into it.

    All rad TFs

    Hey Melt!

    That all rad ITF last night was awesome. I wasn't sure how well we'd do with no tanks, scrappers and so forth, but it cruised along amazingly well!

    Are you still looking at Trials for next week? Personally, I've found this event so much fun during the month you've been running it that I'd be happy to stay for 2 TFs / Trials or what-have-you.

    I know I keep telling you this, but it's an awesome idea for an event. Now I'm thinking "all rad pvp team".

    Do it, Kat! This is the very build I rolled. Little tough at first to solo with (Praetorian foes seem tougher) but quickly comes into its own. No regrets.

    This.

    I didn't really get into Praetoria until recently, but I'm loving every minute of it. Stories are very well written--even immersive. I don't skip over the dialogue just to get to missions.
    The foes are certainly tougher (seems that way to me, any way) but it's a lot of fun.
  11. It drives me nuts when I'm at the tailor or respec'ing only to find out folks were PMing me the whole time. Sometimes they think they're being ignored.

    You can't use the /afk command because it disappears as soon as you click the tailor or what have you.

    Could it be set up so that, once you start at the tailor's or start a respec, the game automatically responds that you're afk? Would save some hassles, to be sure!

    P.S.: Radiation melee. Just sayin'.
  12. Hi everyone!

    There isn't really a place to put this up, so I'm going to throw it up here.

    I know a lot of CoX players are also university students, and that can be hectic. So I wanted to make an offer to those who fall under that category.

    Writing papers and such sucks and it never hurts to have someone give them a read-over. I completed my Masters' last year and am not lecturing this semester (took some time off). So, if you're a student, and want someone to read over your papers before you hand them in, drop me a line here on the forums and I'll send you my email address. Then send me your paper and I'll give it a going over, no charge.

    Beyond proof-reading, my specialties are comparative religion; history; and political science so I can also advise on all those topics.

    I thought this might be a nice way to give back to the CoX community; there may well be other players out there who can offer the same thing and, if so, I invite them to hop on board the bandwagon as well!

    Thanks for your time, all.

    Grabbed some levels on some toons.

    Then @Silas' agents found me and convinced me that rolling a corruptor would be a 'Good fuggin' Idea' and that otherwise my 'really nice laptop could have an accident, ya knows?".

    So I'm corruptoring my way through Praetoria.

    All rad TFs

    I doubt my rad blaster will be in the right level range by then; if not, I'll bring my ice/thermal troller and handle the buffs and heals.
  15. Great event and I got em all. Thanks very much!
  16. Shaytanah

    All rad TFs

    I'll sign up on the same toon: Shaydioactive, Rad/Elec blaster.

    Heat is radiation too. The electromagnetic spectrum contains not only x-rays, microwaves and gamma rays (which we usually call radiation) but also heat (infrared), visible light, radio waves and so forth. Technically, a hero who could manipulate radio signals from phones would be using radiation powers. :-)

    With a broad enough definition, we could include ice powers (cold is not something in and of itself but only the absence of heat; getting rid of heat is infrared manipulation!).

    Sorry--it's early and I'm bored.

    @Melt--great fun on the TFs the other night. Looking forward to the next ones!

    All rad TFs

    Please sign me up for this, Melt. My rad isn't 50, but I'll get in on whatever TFs she can (currently high 20s).

    Global (of course) is @Shaytanah, toon is Shaydioactive (rad/elec blaster).

    PS--I have a 50 ice/therm for TFs out of the blaster's range.
  19. Hi folks--I was on Synapse last night with @Celestial Lord and some others. I lost net connection due to an issue in the building and didn't get it back till this morning. Hope everything went all right!
  20. Sign me up! I need them on my main before going back blue side. Better to coordinate in-game or via PMs, otherwise you'll get mad hero grief when you go!

    Didn't know this. Thanks.

    I think that Paragon studios is going to have to take steps and maybe merge some servers.
    I bought GR and I can tell you that is practically a ghost town except for the NPCs.
    I don't want to transfer all of my toons cause is going to cost me a pretty penny.
    Over the last few months I've seen Champion routinely listed as 'medium load'--it had been a long time since I've seen that for this server. I think its pretty healthy these days--don't forget that the heavily instanced nature of CoH makes it tough to gauge how many are on (plus /hide...)
  23. OK, you owe me a new keyboard for that last one...

    This one's for Cherry!

  24. Shaytanah - NRG/Fire blaster. Still my fave.
