I'd go see that that shiny thing is that keeps peeking around my curtains 12 hours a day is...

Never had a facebook page, took the closing of this place to actually create one just to join...heh! Been signed up.

PS Kay: We still have a duel awaiting in RV! hehehe!

My 1st and ONLY home. I made a few other toons here and there, but Triumph was always my home since 2004. I made my 1st hero, discovered I could make alts, and not a dang one of them ever made it past 20. Only one of that era survived to this day. CoV comes out. Goodbye Atlas, HELLO MERCY ISLE! lol! It took me a year to get to 50 with my main...I was about to call it quits until I met a man (eventually a good RL friend) who helped me with the Sea Witch mish. [ONI...U DA BOMB!!] I discovered that there was a community I never really jumped wholly into, just PUGS. I tried other MMOs and realized something about this one game. Even in PUGS you can wind up meeting really awesome people and eventually pick up RL friends. In PUGS here, no one is blasted at for being a "noob", tho surely I should have been called one back in the day and I sure as heck wanted to yell it at my monitor at times..lol! Rather than call someone stupid for failin' a mish, folks here just picked up their shorts and moved on to the next one, no chastising, no blame, just lessons learned and moved on.
I created with my main what I called a "Tankermind". I dunno if I was the 1st to use that term, I won't take that credit. I just remember whooping up in RV until sadly I was ungunned, literally...lololololol! All those years I finally got my 1st (and only) hero to 50, a spines/regen. I quit really playing her when I realized that a double nerf had to happen in there, but, meh, w/e.
For this I want to thank you all. The Devs for creating an game that I could trust my child playing and not have me hovering over him. The community for the same. Without Coh/Cov/GR, I would have never met the most quality people a Higher Diety has ever put on this planet. This place is my second home (mebbee not Hero-side so much...sorry born Villain...mwahaha!), but I like to think I know the Rogue Isles map better than my own town's map! Thank you for 8+ years of relaxing, chatting, and life-changing experiences.

Shyeah! This be my only server!

So,ya'll telling me...(give up the state tax,that's for ANY game) that while i'm payin a lil under 6 bucks more here than say WoW, which really i hate that system worse, that that's normal? I pay more fer here than i do elsewheres, and if that's the norm, then I'll stand corrected. So tell ya'll what,I'ma just gonna apologize fer anything i said,lord knows we wouldn't wanna speak our minds and sit in the back with the rest of the silent sheep, too scared to say anything les we get trashed back. so disregard my lil "rants",and i'll never post here again.

Funny, everyone keeps saying go to the store an buy it fer 20 bucks. Yes, we all know this as no "new" expansions that are huge are ready for sale at a huge store. Yes,I got this..20 bucks new. Install it, play the free trial, and now monthly costs kick in. If I'm paying more than I should, why hasn't anyone caught on? So those of us paying more are not supposed to and this means we've been gettin ripped for years? Sorry, but i doubt SERIOUSLY i'm getting a rebate for the next few years. As fer the Idiot-soapbox thing, this wasn't my intention. It was a wake-up call,and so it did. Luv the lashings back at me, doesn't hurt me a bit,and it did wake me up too. Some things i still believe are wrong, and it seems every time there's a patch DLing, i get scared, what'd they break now? I see the Blapper's excuse,but really, it's a Blapper for a reason.Yeah, no defense bleah bleah bleah,but they didn't coin the term fer boredom. Maybe I missed the forum part about cutting the badges back,but what about those that did spend weeks earning theirs? I already heard the "You knew it could change,as it's merely an extra to the game", but seriously? So a few people can ask for a change,and the rest have to comply? Okies,here's my asking...better balance of powers in a PvP setting,customization of pets,and easier acquisiton of badges that don't require 1 mish to remain open, like Outcasts in the ONE mish Vil-side?

Meh, excuse me again if my "clerical skills" haven't been updated. It seems that 1 person can draw the ire of a community of he or she ruffles feathers. Well, keep the brushes ready, b/c really,i'm standing by what i said. It is refreshing to see others come out and speak their minds,even if it is against what i said, after all we are in a land where one could speak his mind. Sadly my "communication" probably wasn't clarified, and even though we can understand people who type to where only a dog can understand,forget to break off sentences with a paragraph, and the world comes crashing down.
So let me ask you this then:Why cut the badges then? Why "punish" someone who did the efforts of "farming" (like no one here have EVER EVER farmed or PLed) with a higher badge count and reward those who only get to farm half of a same thing and get the same reward?
Why nerf Regen and slow powersets (Spines/Regen) in a PvP so the benefit goes to those who only invest in SS and 2 ranged attacks can pummel at ease?
I understand that Tankers/Brutes are melee, and aren't "designed" to have ranged attacks, but what about a "Blapper"? They get the benefits of both,shouldn't melee?
WoW's had 3 expansions, factor in 40 bucks each and a low-cost monthly (yes,with taxes) and we have 4 $10 packs with a few costume changes and emotes. Still paying more more in the long run for CoX.
May The Big Man upstairs help those with a Mac....enough said there...

"Witchhunt?" Hahahaha! funny stuff. Well, excuse 'ems if my sentence structure" and grammar's crappy, just never thought i'd have to proofread what i say, but putting this in "SUGGESTIONS", i had this alterior motive:
Devs...LISTEN to the PEOPLE. I mean they've been saying the same crap for years,and while i hate to agree with some of it, they are original ideas. Ya'll be saying ya wanted new suggestions, being in a Suggestion place? OOkies, here goes...
1.)Up the badge-counts BACK to where they were in the 1st place.
2.)You gave us colors for powers and such,EXACTLY like Champions Online. Why not coloring the pets for Doms,Trollers,and MM's?
3.)Instead of nerfing powersets in PvP, why not put them back? Slows,Immobs,Heals should work,after all, they do in PvE instances.
4.)Lower the price back to a "normal" state. You charged people double for both gaems,minus a small discout. Now that the 2 are one, why not get competitive with all the other MMO'S financial wise?

mebbe it's a Rant, but since the forums got moved around so much, i had NO idea where to put it anymores....

Congratulations! If I didn't know better I'd swear you're trying to finish this game off and maybe go on to something else. You CLAIM to listen to the people, yet the ideas you come up, i'd argue that point seriously. For YEARS people have asked for the same things, like costumes for MM's and Tankers with a ranged attack,yet you wind up doing whatever you want anyways. The one true original idea that you had with Mission Archetect,there obvioulsy wan't a heck of a lot of forethought behind it, and you release another issue just to add to it? Get real, that was a waste of a really good issue. You should know that people with take advantage of anything they can, and if you didnt see the MA abuse coming...well....let's make sure we nerf it multiple times so those who DO enjoy the cool stories reap NO REWARDS anyways! Hooray for killing the Original thinkers! Now to reward those who PLed off of MA...hmm..Let's lower the badge counts by,oh,let's say HALF...Yeah,that'll anger all those badge-hunters who busted their butts for weeks getting certain badges when some noobie can come along and in a few short days attain the same goals some veteran who worked hard to get his. Yeah, that'll kill the veteran badge-hunters! Now, let's hit the poor...after all,some of them are paying twice as much for both games AFTER you already merged them into one set, when WoW's prices are half as much...bye bye low income players. Now, let's get the rest by announcing a NEW expansion that,of course we'll botch so hard in the beginning that it'll drive off the rest. I mean after all, we can't get 1 game set,let alone 2....let's go for broke! What's left? Oh,right,PvP....i know, let's destroy any supplement powers like heals,slows, and Immobs so the only thing we have left is people zipping around blasting away. After all, can't heal,and make sure them with the best range and speed wins,forget any other powerset. So all we have left is PvP with zippity zip shoot and run. Nice works Devs! Keep up the good work! This game has so much potential to run for years and at the rate you're killing it, it'll be lucky to live a few months past CoRogues....Maybe you should actually READ the forums instead of browsing it, Some ideas i think were pretty bad, but should lead to brilliant gameplay....

WEll, i'm not a techie geek,but plenty here that are. I'd try,even though u can still navigate around the virus apparently,is download a couple of spyware/malware removal programs. I personally like Spybot,SUPERANTIspyware, and malwarebytes. They're free and pretty easy to use. Just be sure to update them b4 using them.

I'd hate ta agree, but this is so true. Why don't they stop worrying about nerfing things like slow powers and worrying about how much XP is given out by a Rikti ComOff and start worrying about actual gameplay itself? The ability to get in one's own base, let alone fear of editing it as you might break it can turn people off to begin with. Worrying about what custom critters do what on AE's is useless. That system's, while a magnificent idea, is already screwed up to begin with. Ticket's? Already after Merits? It would appear that they're trying to do away with infamy/influence altogether to beat out the online "salesfolks" who sell it to begin with. Every MMO has an off-site seller, and if you want to waste real dollars buying it, that's your loss. It would be better if NCSoft sold it, at a discount, like a Cyborg or Magician's Pack. So if I was a Dev, I'd worry more about gameplay and smoothing out all the bugs YOU as a Dev made rushing stuff and screwing it up, and less about how people are going to "abuse" the system's already in effect, like AE's and Orob. Want membership to reverse and go up? Iron out the bugs, no offense, I15 can wait.
