You two deserve a badge for that.

"I win"

"You just duoed the Lambda trial. You obviously cheated... which means you're my kind of guy! Have a cookie!"

Heh, just kidding. Congratz on the epic moment of win!

I'm going to assume it's random. The very first B.A.F I ran I died more times than I could count. I was down for a lot of it, yet I got the Rare table. The last two B.A.F runs I did, I didn't die nearly as often and contributed as much as everyone else, but I got the common table. I'm pretty sure contribution doesn't play a factor in it. =P

I'mma bring my Tanker, Smash Zone, to the party. Need a couple more shards and I can get my Very Rare Alpha slot! (w00t!)

Smash Zone: Inv/EnM Tanker.

I honestly have to ask you graystar... why do you still play this game? Every post you make is just you whining about something different. If the game and it's developers are just so awful, why don't you just do us all a favor? Stop whining, unsubscribe, and go play something else.

Thank you.

My first decree as King of Paragon Studios would be to do something with the Shadow Shard. I don't care what, just DO SOMETHING!

The Shadow Shard is one of the most interesting zones in the whole game. The lore behind it is easily the best out of it all, and the landscape is incredible. Yet, none of it is used. Yay, we get some boring repeatable contacts, and some Task Forces which hardly explain anything. The new exploration badges are big fat teasers of what SHOULD be done with the zones. Seriously, go read those. How much Rularuu can twist your very mind just by being in his realm. Give us some cool new Missions and Task Forces, send us into wonderland with some trippy story lines that make us question our grip on reality. That's what the zone should be about.

How about letting us battle/interact with the OTHER reflections of Rularuu? Currently, all we have is Faathim the Kind, Lanaruu the Mad, and Ruladak the Strong. I want to fight Uuralur the Mirror in his Garden of Memories. Oh the cool things you could do with that premise. Give us a shot at Chularn the Slave Lord, or Kuularth the Scavanger.

Pretty much, if I were king for the whole day, that entire 24-hour period would be spent towards expanding the Shadow Shard. Oh, and opening it up to villains, with some unique villainous story lines to go with it. :P

I think it should be done the way the two Tip contacts are (Redemption and Pit).

Have two contacts for villains/rogues and heroes/vigilantes. Just call 'em Longbow and Arachnos security chiefs. Contact them to be told the current WST, but make it fit into the lore somehow. Something like,

"There's been a spike in Clockwork activity lately. Synapse has requested the assistance of any heroes who would be willing to help investigate."

or

"Our Fortunatas have detected a large increase in the psychic presence in St. Martial. You would be wise to consult Ice Mistral in this matter."

Just something short and simple to say "Task Force X is the weekly strike target."

I always love it when I can get one of those "obvious" or "cool" names that you would think were already taken.

Some cool names I've managed to snatch:

Andronic
Lethal Trauma
Solemn Shadow
Deadly Dispatch
Terror Strike
Amplified Assassin

There are more, but I can't access my characters at this time and I honestly have so many I forgot a lot of names. xD

Holy Necro-post Batman!

The ones I can think of from the top of my head are Energy Melee, Energy Aura, and Gravity Control.

The two Energy sets I have on two separate toons, both level 50. Honestly, I don't get the hate. I mean, yeah, compared to the "uber" sets they're not as good, but they are still totally viable options. Sure, my Energy Melee Tanker would love more AoE, but he still kicks butt and is a blast to play. And while my Energy Aura Stalker could definitely use some more survivability options, he's still one of my favorite characters.

I'm going to say Stalker. Mainly because of that lovely demoralize debuff that comes with every Assassin Strike. High burst damage makes bosses go down a lot quicker. Sure, Scrappers can duke it out with the best of them, but I just find Stalkers a bit more beneficial. While they do deal slightly less damage, the addition of the burst damage and demoralization makes them worth it.

But of course, this is assuming some retarded notion of being forced to choose between the two. I take whoever asks first.

Normally I'd go ahead a show all the reasons why it's not a good idea at all, but there have been so many threads on this particular subject that you would know if you searched it up.

So I'm just going to say no.

Just a reminder that this is happening tonight. If you haven't left me your global, than either do so today or just contact me in-game. We're meeting up at the Atlas Park Sewers entrance.

If you're okay with exemping down then it's fine with me.

So, last double Xp weekend I had this idea. To get a team, starting at level one, and just street sweep through as many Hazard Zones as possible through the night. Unfortunately, I was so busy that I couldn't do such a thing.

But I'm not busy this weekend, so I can do it now!

Dust off your old lowbies collecting dust, or start a brand new character from scratch. We'll start in the Atlas Park Sewers, and see where things go from there. Here's the order of zones we're going to visit.

Levels 1-7: Atlas Park Sewers.
Levels 7-12: Perez Park.
Levels 12-19: Boomtown.
Levels 19-29: Dark Astoria.
Levels 29-39: Crey's Folly.

Now, I know that aiming for level 39 is a single night may be a pipe dream, but it's just the general layout. Who knows? We might even make it to Firebase Zulu!

So, here are the details.

When: Friday, January 28th. 9:30 PM Eastern/8:30 PM Central.
Where: Atlas Park, near the sewer entrance.
Team Roster:
1. Gallant Gauntlet, SD/WM Tanker (Smash_Zone).
2. Master-Blade (Toon TBA).
3. Turgenev (Toon TBA).
4. Paragon's War, Warshade (Paragon).
5. Pyradical, Fire/Rad Corruptor (Auroxis).
6. Rina_ (Toon TBA).
7.
8.

Alts: Lucky666 (Toon TBA)

If you're going to bring a pre-existing character, then just let me know name and AT. If you are going to create a new character, then just leave your global handle so I can know how to contact you once the event has started. If you need to contact me, my global is @Smash-Zone. (Please note that my global is @Smash-Zone with a dash. It is different from my forum handle, Smash_Zone, with an underscore.)

Hope to see you there!

To put it simple and blunt, no. Simply because the time it would take to create a new skeleton for all of those new animals and working animations for all of their movements and powers would be astronomical, and would probably end up looking stupid.

Besides, how would you fit Bears, raptors, gators and whatnot into the large metropolis of Paragon City?

You know you play too much City of Heroes when you play any other game, like an FPS, miss nearly 90% of the time and say to yourself "I should slot this gun with some accuracy enhancements..."

Just a quick explanation on how to actually get to Ouroboros.

First, you need to be level 25. Second, you must have participated in some form of time travel. For example, if you run the villain arc "Echo down the Aeons" from Marshal Brass, you will unlock the Ouroboros portal. Similarly, Heroes can run "A Faultline in the Sands of Time" from Agent G to get it. It's also tied to certain badges, most notably badges from Recluses Victory.

Alternatively, if you're level 25 and you missed both of those arcs and don't feel like going to Recluse's Victory, you can ask someone to drop an Ouroboros portal for you. There's an Exploration Badge in the Ouroboros zone that unlocks the portal for you.

I was this close to actually falling out of my chair from laughter. xD

Amazing, Steelclaw. I would expect no less from you.

Hoping for the best. Welcome to the madhouse that is known as the "forums" Second Measure.

We promise to be good... most of the time.

I just recently hit level 50 (finally) on my main Tanker, so I has a happy!
