  1. I had no idea and I've been playing since Jul 2004. Thanks for the tip.

    No, wasn't you. It was a pug both times.

    Pugs.... good for invective and creative language directed at the monitor.
  3. Tanks and Scranks: "Indestructible" by Disturbed

    Another mission, the powers have called me away
    Another time to carry the colors again
    My motivation, an oath I've sworn to defend
    To win the honor of coming back home again

    No explanation will matter after we begin
    Unlock the dark destroyer that's buried within
    My true vocation and now my unfortunate friend
    You will discover a war you're unable to win

    I'll have you know
    That I've become

    Indestructible
    Determination that is incorruptible
    From the other side, a terror to behold
    Annihilation will be unavoidable

    Every broken enemy will know
    That their opponent had to be invincible
    Take a last look around while you're alive
    I'm an indestructible master of war!

    Another reason, another cause for me to fight
    Another fuse uncovered now, for me to light
    My dedication to all that I've sworn to protect
    I carry out my orders without a regret

    My declaration embedded deep under my skin
    A permanent reminder of how it began
    No hesitation when I am commanded to strike
    You need to know that you're in for the fight of your life

    You will be shown
    How I've become

    Indestructible
    Determination that is incorruptible
    From the other side, a terror to behold
    Annihilation will be unavoidable

    Every broken enemy will know
    That their opponent had to be invincible
    Take a last look around while you're alive
    I'm an indestructible master of war!
  4. More often than not it is "Move damnit!"

    I bore easily. Then my blaster or defender will lead the charge. I did it so well once that my dark/psi defender tanked for a team of eight. Another time it was my nrg/nrg blaster tanking the Positron TF for a full team because the three tanks/scrappers on the team were too timid.

    Just move.
  5. Some people would $%^*& about free money.

    "OMG I can't count that high! Mommy! Take it away!"
  6. Every single one of my characters has desired powers they just couldn't fit into their builds. For some it's primary or secondary, other's it is from power or epic pools. Even just a single slot in most of these will make a big difference. For some that might just be a place to put a Winter's Gift proc, LOTG unique, etc. I have a few characters who will very much benefit from getting Stamina as it didn't fit into their builds at all.

    The most important thing about inherent stamina is that every single one of my characters will be picking up Recall Friend if they didn't have it already.

    About six months ago my mother started playing. She's 64 years old, never used a computer before, and had never played an arcade or console game. Learning to play COH has been a challenge for her, but she loves it. She gets lost sometimes, particularly in caves or maps that have multiple levels in a room. Recall Friend will make it easier for both of us.

Dont get me wrong folks I think its a good idea, I just dont want to have to suffer for it in some way in the end thats all. Like I said before I Castle posts that this is a 100% no strings attached change (meaning no increase in power costs, or sapper like mobs at earlier levels), then I will be 100% for this change. Till then I am gonna be cautious about it.

    So powers do require additional slots, like if you were skipping a decent power from your prim/sec/app in order to fit in fitness. Finding additional slots to fill them out could be a challenge in some cases.
    This is true.

    I much prefer getting Stamina as an inherent and being forced to set aside three slots for it on nearly every build. I am happy to be gifted this dilemma, even if it means choosing 3 one-slot utility powers. In most cases that is going to be Fly, Recall Friend, and hmmm something else.

    OH... MY... GOODNESS! I LOVE YOU GUYS! (caps intentional)

  11. Customer service recently handled a complicated problem for me, restoring emails lost when the global server crashed after the GR update. It took a few exchanges of information and several days but they restored all the items I lost. They were great.

    Hello?

    I'm still here.
  13. Hi there, beyeajus. Are you new around Liberty's forums? Welcome.

    PS: How do you pronounce that name?
  14. Neato!

    Like the 50% of tailoring vet reward, this vet reward may not make everyone go tingly, but I love it. My main SG has all the prestige it will ever need, but the reserve SG still needs porters, and I've characters in a starter SG helping that one earn enough for porters.

    This vet reward makes me all

    Ol' Calvin does not appear to be particularly Silver Age, does he?
    I'm not even sure he's moral enough to be post-modern.

    I love the comics.

    Oh, and forget the Resistance - just what is it that Penelope Yin is talking about? Teddy bears, Glowball, Mirror Kingdom, Black Knights... and my name is not Rusty! (OK, I really did figure it out, no spoilers, but she still makes about as much sense as Ricochet).

    Sisterhood Event

    Done! I love Sisterhood events. They're the kind of thing that I know everyone is welcome to join.

    Any time that doesn't conflict with Sunday night MS raids works great for me. Sunday is the one day of the week that I usually have free to play.

    Channels

    There is really not an official "main and final" chat channel for Liberty. We are a little too anarchic to have such a thing. The mods of this channel or that channel can officially announce "Our channel is the official Liberty channel" all they want, but ultimately it comes down to, which channel do people actually use.

    Right now, the channel with the most people and the most message traffic is LB. That may change someday, but I believe that is unquestionably true as of this writing.

    As an LB moderator, I don't plan to stop anyone from advertising LBnoBS, Liberty's Channel, SisterhoodFriends, Camo's Teen Lounge, Robo's Lounge, or any other random vaguely Liberty-related chat channel they want (provided they aren't TOO spammy about it). If everyone on the channel decides to migrate to one or more of these other channels, that's totally their choice and their right. That may eventually make one of the other channels the biggest and most useful channel -- someday.

    In the meantime, life goes on.
    PW is wise.

    She reminds me of Tub Ci in Praetoria. Justice is given, vengeance is earned.... now show him the gift of mercy.

    Channels come and go, thrive and pass into obscurity. Liberty is like a large, loud family at a Thanksgiving dinner. Grandpa is grouching, Grandma is busy in the kitchen, the siblings are fighting, the kids are having fun. And Uncle Bobo is in the corner ignoring all of it getting drunk.

    OK, maybe I'm rambling. I agree with PW. For myself I use Liberty's Channel, SisterhoodFriends, and LB (sometimes ignore it when it gets too feisty). I'm currently in LBnoBS but waiting to see how that turns out.
  18. I'm looking forward to this one. My main SG has more in the bank that we'll ever use, but it feels good to earn even more. My reserve SG really needs the prestige.

    NICE!!!
  19. I've been playing for 7 hours now. No serious problems encountered in game. The bugs in beta seem to have been attacked with sledgehammers.

    The only issue I've seen thus far is the game store being offline, no transfers or buying extra character slots. This has the side effect that if you have previously bought extra character slots and try to delete a character to make room it doesn't work.

    Oh, and I took the advice. I got a soda and some cheese, crackers, and fruit to sit down and read these patch notes.

    Bugged MoSTF

    And here's with the game UI. In total there were 7 spawns of LR pets in rapid succession.

    Bugged MoSTF

    For my teammates here is the best screenshot I got. I'm waiting to hear back from a Senior GM on the problem later this week.

    The team was:
    Sick Minded
    Ukase Rex
    Victoria Googleduck
    Fargin Icehole
    Literal Larry
    Arctic Hare
    Rumpelstilzchen
    Sgt Pandora

    Hami Survey

    Done and done. I'd really like to make it to these.
  23. More raids is better. The more leaders the better, just not at the same time. Ideally I'd like to see everyone who plans on leading posting here so that we're all on the same page as to who is running when and raiders can know when all the raids are.

    Two RWZ instances with raids would be awesome!

    See y'all Sunday.
  24. I buy more slots and have used 31 of 36 so far. I've got one or two characters I might transfer onto Liberty with these free transfers, and maybe delete a couple lowbie alts that I've grown bored with.

    I've never transferred any of my 50s off. I can't bear to part with them and still play them.

    I know some people transfer off their 50s; play to 50 for the challenge, grow bored with it, make another character to play to 50. It's how they have fun - that challenge to take a new build to 50. That's just not me.

    I wish we could buy more than 36 slots. I would.
