    Hero-Con 09

    I live 2 blocks from the hotel. So, I will be there. I would love to meet up with some of you guys if theres a Protector group going. I hardly play anymore, so im hoping to rekindle my CoH fire preceeding and following the event.

    If the toon without any outside help (thus only powers/IOs that the toon innately has, such as a combination of Stealth IOs, Super Speed, Hide, Stealth, Steamy Mist, Shadow Fall, etc.) can walk up to a spawn (that does not have any +perception) of equal level and do a dance emote safely for (let's say) 30 seconds, they are stealthy enough to come along.

    Is that definition sufficient?

    Heh. Thats too easy. With Superspeed and a stealth IO in sprint anybody can qualify (between dual builds every single toon I have has this combo). You should raise the bar to having stealth in your primary/secondary perhaps.

    Makes it more interesting.

    If I am stuck with Internet explorer due to company policy, what can I do? Seems all the suggestions were dependent on Firefox
    Yeah im on IE due to company regulations as well, thats why I went with the low tech privacy film option... creating an elaborate word switchout system seems too much like ...work to me, and thats why im on here goofing off- I dont feel like working!

    Preferably I would like only text if possible
    Lol I love the forum handle. So very fitting for this topic ( I also sit around and goof off half my workday on these sites...)

    That being said, you can always go the lowtech option like I did... use the privacy film on your monitor so only you can really see clearly. You should have plenty of time to shut down any offensive websites before prying eyes look too closely heh.
  5. Ding! congrats on you levelling up.

  7. In my quest for negative rep I have found that apparently when someone with high rep gives you rep (good or bad) it weighs more heavily then if someone with low rep gives you rep rating...

    I was doing so well until one or two big positives came along and pushed me back into the green.

    How is it that people are able to tell who is leading the rep ratings as well? PK somehow knew he was #1, but I cant find any listings or ranking pages.

    Anyhoo... I think ranking is tons of fun, I just find it wierd that those with high rep "count" more then those without it when they cast their votes. I want all my negative comments to be equally insulting! (at least rep-wise)

    keep em comin.
  8. Its either gotta be "I want to get high" by Cypress Hill, or "smoke two joints" by Sublime.

    I will vote for Sublime.
  9. Rep is awesome. I am trying hard to make innane and unhelpful posts in hopes of collecting as much negative rep as possible.

    So pretty much business as usual.

    I turned off my meter until such a time as it fills up in lovely red bars and I can unleash its full fury on the world. Mua ha ha.

    The problem is I dont post too much, and no one really listens to me anyways, so it may take a while...
  10. Hi,

    I am looking for someone to get up in the morning, do my job, collect a paycheck, and then drop the money by my house in the afternnons so I can spend it while not lifting a finger to do my own work.

    thanks,
    Slim
  11. I just wish I could sell the banked costume changes I already have...

    I would be rollin in teh fake moneys.

    Oh wait, I already am.

    Im just too lazy to sit around in the tailor to change costumes, so the freebies keep piling up.

    But as the old saying goes: "if its free, its for me- i'll take three." And then I will not use them as usual. Heh.

    Do you also demonstrate your superior moral fiber by hanging out under the globe and ratting out homage characters?

    They should add an "Informant" badge for people who habitually rat out other players.

    Seriously.

    Prof Postalot needs a shiny "Tattletale" badge for his stellar efforts in protecting our gaming environment.

    Hooray!

  19. Hey, anyone seen my luck?

    I seem to have dropped it around here somewhere. If anyone finds it laying around, please return it to me.

    Thanks.

    Power Pools Help

    Luck of the Gambler, or Red Fortune for the Defense based powers (manuevers, vengeance) and either adjusted targetting, or gaussians sets for Tactics works great.

    Depending on what set bonuses you are building on, the leadership pool gives you alot of great options.

    Sometimes very expensive great options... but great nonetheless.

    One thing to keep in mind when going for set bonuses from IOs is that you will need to slot many powers 5 or 6 slots to get the best bonuses. Plan accordingly.

    This just in:

    Debt is taking a vacation from the game too, because without Badge around no one pays attention to it.

    Which comic character can I see most easily swiping at a Rikti drone and missing as it zips around him? The Thing! An SS/Inv Tanker.



    [/ QUOTE ]

    Cmon... if we are porting famous characters into the game then the Thing has to be a stone tank! Invuln is Supes or the Hulk maybe.
  23. Nah, Im just kidding, I will still team . Just not often. I will still need a couple people to start TFs and such, but I'd say 90% or so of my in game time will be spent solo farming - just like now, but without need for padders, and with full team drop rewards.

    Basically I am saying im greedy, and now I dont need to share!
