    I do agree with you that outside of sleeps(which shold keep the 100% chance to mez) the 80% or 75% chance to Mezinstead of 100% chance with lower accuracy would have been a superior change to the aoe controls.

    Do you think its too late to make that change now?
    So you want Controllers... to do... less control? I'm confused.

    You're saying the powers should have more accuracy so they hit more, but have less of a chance to actually do anything to the mobs?

    No thanks.

    If one out of every four of my Flashfires hits a mob but doesn't actually do anything to them (other than very little damage) I will not be a happy camper. If I wanted to just fire off AoEs that only do damage I would've rolled a blaster.

    Sigh... this was the only part of the patch notes that I was particularly interested in.

    Ah well, there's always next patch.

    Thanks for the quick post of the notes Freitag!

    Agreed, which is why I'd suggest leaving the AT subforums as is.

    They're broken down by AT so you can find relevant posts quickly and easily.

    I don't want to have to hunt through a "Ranged Blast Playstyle" forum to find info on a Blaster when there are 3 other "ranged" ATs to sift through.

    It sounds like the forum restructure is more so tied to the new in-game character creator.

    While that makes sense... personally, I think you guys should've left the creator the way it was and not try to dumb it down for people.

    Each of the ATs had descriptions of what they did. They didn't need to be merged into a "play style." If people chose not to read, well, that's their problem.

    Last year was nice. There was a little confusion on where to line up though which was kind of funny. The hotel didn't appreciate people lining up outside lol

    Still, met some cool people and the turnout was pretty good too.

    Hopefully they come back to NY at some point

    But maybe as a means to keep everyone happy you could, as an alternative, decide to sell some the costume code giveaways you usually hand out during those events in the Paragon Market. Not only would you make those of us who have virtually no chance of ever being able to attend those events happy but you'll earn yourselves even more micro-transaction money. It'd be a win-win to help celebrate the launch of CoH:Freedom.
    If by sell you mean give away like they do at the cons I can get behind that

    PAX East... meh. It was sold out and would've been ridiculously expensive for me to go to anyway.

    Okay, compromise!

    You can have Zwil and we'll take Avatea. Deal? Deal.

    Guess now i just report it. just a warning controllers are not Free
    You're the second person I've seen who has had that issue.

    I would definitely /bug and /petition it.
  7. As a NYer, this makes me sad.

    I had a lot of fun at the M&G last year and was hoping to see you folks again.

  8. I run Vista and I noticed a spike in CPU usage when i21 went live.

    It's possible they made a code change that as a memory leak or some new bit of code is not meshing well with something else.

    IIRC prior to i21 I would run at ~75% CPU usage. Now it's closer to ~95%.

    (I use a dual monitor setup and have a CPU widget on the non-game screen).

    *shrug*
  9. I noticed this too. I think it's more of a display bug than anything else.

    When I log into the character with the incorrect location I login to where I should be (Atlas instead of Mercy for example) and there aren't any problems.

    If my Hero toon that was logged out in Atlas wound up logging in Mercy then I'd be worried lol

    Yea, I guess I'd stay away from them too...

    As I said, this is irking me also... so I'm gonna check with a friend when I get home later. He may have some sources that I don't know about.

    Will keep you posted...

    I could buy these complete sets I see, but $800 (or more) is just absurd. I could try and sell the extra 44, but that is a ton of work with no guarantee.
    What irks me is that I remember seeing the whole series as a box set on clearance maybe a year or so ago. I thought it was deepdiscount.com that had it, but they don't have anything for the series.

    And yea, the rarity of those volumes is totally weird. I'm pretty good at finding anime and I've been wracking my brain for the last hour trying to figure out who might have these.

    You might be better off just torrenting the series and making your own DVDs :P

    I'd also check any local Brick and Mortar stores, like FYE or Suncoast Video (if they're still around) or Barnes and Noble and see if any of them might have them on the shelves.
  12. Faatham, Sara Moore and Quaterfield's TFs have Nemesis in them. I don't think you'll get the Fake Nem badge in one run of either of them.

    Fake Nem are generally easy to find in mid-northern PI ranging from mid40s-50. There's also a couple of island in Fire Base Zulu where there are a lot of them (also a lot of Paragon Protectors).

    As for 2 and 3... for Illusionist badge, I'm pretty sure it was changed so that Phantasms and Dark Servants count for the badge. So effectively you can get 5 pts of credit toward the badge with each MI (or more if you let them respawn the pets).

    For Sorcerers, no clue. I always just hunted in Talos and Steel for them.

    In particular, I'm looking for Urusei Yatsura 27, 41, 43, 44, 45, and 50. I could get #43 on Amazon, but I am NOT paying $100 for a single disc.

    TIA.
    Did you try www.yesasia.com ?

    I briefly looked and they do have UY DVDs - some are Region 1 and others are Region 2. Assuming you're in the US/Canada, you'll want Region 1s.

    http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/ may have some also. Just make sure they're the proper region.

    *thinks... where else to look...*

    You could also try: http://www.animenation.com/

    Hope that helps

    Special Event "gold" titles and regular titles from trainers are two different things that are independent of each other.

    Premium accounts are basically accounts that at some point or another paid real money, whether through a time card or monthly subscription or buying the boxed/full version.

    IIRC, Trial Accounts will be converted to free accounts unless they had subscribed/paid money at some point.

    I think the moral of the story was:

    Keep things in perspective and things could always be worse.

    FWIW (and I think I've been using that far too often lately) CoH used to be a huge part of my daily life. For a few years I was pretty much engulfed in the game to the point where if I didn't get to play it was the end of the world for me and I didn't know what to do with myself otherwise.

    Now, not so much.

    So I do feel all the pain about the downtime... but we'll all get over it and move on with life

    Your NCSoft account is linked to one email account.
    I gaurentee most people aren't blocking their MMO via spam filter on their primary email account.
    For what it's worth, myself and others have gotten emails days after the thing they were emailing about were announced or over.

    Specifically, the last double XP Weekend... I think I got an email that Sunday or Monday following it saying that I should login and play and yadda yadda yadda.

    It wouldn't have hurt if they sent out emails but I don't know how much good it would've done either.

    I'm not unhappy.

    I'm feeling quite content today actually.

    It didn't rain. The sun is shining. The boss has been gone most of the day.

    Yup, pretty good day so far.

    When I get home from work, the servers will be up and I will enjoy happy CoH time.

    All is good with the world.

    I actually saw someone do that once. The convenience store next to where I used to work sells some grocery items. A lady before me at the register goes to the clerk "The supermarket across town sells these cans of tuna for 99cents. Why are you charging $2.50? I will only pay 99cents for them."

    I was literally standing there with my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe the nerve of that lady. I was ready to say "Well, then you should get in your car, spend $5 dollars in gas and waste another 20 minutes of your day getting your canned tuna for 99cents."

    This has nothing to do with nothing but I just felt like sharing

    Don't get it twisted. I don't think any compensation outside of an extra day or two double exp is necessary (due to ALL the extra downtime, not just today). I find the request for any $ or PPs to be a poor idea.
    If they had to refund actual money I would think the transaction fees would be through the roof and that wouldn't help anyone who paid by time card.

    Paragon Points, or DXP for that matter, doesn't actually cost them any money. If they offered say 200 pts they're not really losing anything.

    I think it would:

    Restore good faith
    Good PR
    and possibly increase store sales cause I'm sure there are people who used up all their initial points who still want stuff and while 200 isn't a lot, it's an incentive to buy 400 more to reach 600 which does buy some nifty things in the store.

    As always, just my 2inf on the matter

    I ran the villain side arc with my Fire/Kin and it wasn't so bad.

    Granted, having 3 vet reward attack powers made it a lot less painful.

    Chain holding the EB was very amusing too >

    And whatever else popped up wasn't anything an inspiration or two couldn't fix.

    I have issues with the "arcs" in general, but the last mission didn't bother me much.
