thanks.. it would be more for when in hover mode during combat.. I thought fly needed 2 enhancers to cap, but taht might be different these days.. i know things like to change a little here and there

does the SR ability quickness help with fly these days or is it just run speed?


(edit, nvm, I checked the midi's thing, and it looks like it excepts this enhancement, so im guessing it works, if it doesnt please let me know)

im not that close.. the last one i really like is 9 months away.. but the next few are really nice too

well actually, back in the day.... (before IO's) I used to play alot. I did PUG's every day, always ran arcs, found a lot of people to join me, made many friends. Always did the odd group, not the normal teams typically but always had a fun time. I recall foundly one TF. (forget the name, its the one on the island with the giant robot) it was one tank and 7 blasters.. talk about a ride.


anyways, it just seams lots of people arnt interested in the slower more casual arcs. (like that one poster that said, I make sure to click as fast as i can so i dont slow people down) thats sorta what im talking about. I rather not do that. Take your time, grab a coffee inbewteen missions, enjoy the night.


Are any servers more geared to that style? justice is where most of my toons are, i do have a full load on virtue with alts, as that server was once consitered the RP server. All my villans are on infinity. (justice is the only server ive tried)

Basically im back, and a few freinds are joining me.. and trying to get a feel for what the game has turned into, along with where players of like minds are..

When i was around, justice was a solid population, get groups of like minds pretty easy (population seams to have dropped, or atleast spread out)

virtue, i didnt play a lot, but it was a bit heavier in RP.. groups not to hard, but like minds didnt always work. Seamed people were kinda in there way of play, and not entirely flexible outside of it.

Infinity, seamed like a smaller server, i played only villans side. groups were freindly though which was nice.


Im always game to try something new, especially after having been gone so long with no real ties other than a base on one server. So any suggestions are welcome. Kinda just looking for an older crowd, more laid back, likes arcs, and taking your time, and just having fun.

Im kinda wondering about a few things. those origin booster packs, they cost about 10 bucks, and have a lotta neat items in them. But i read something that said they wont be avialable after it goes live. Are they gonna be in the store using the coins? Kinda has me wondering if i should pick something up before.. Im kinda wondering what the cost will be after.


the other thing that has me wondering.. the old vet rewards for paid time. I saw something that its being changed? I was so close to a couple of rewards i really wanted.. (prestigue bonus, and travel power at 6) What is gonna happen to those rewards?


I have a ton of toons on a few servers, if my account ends up going ftp, do i get to choose which characters are in the top slots? Basically so i can choose which ones i cant access, if any?

one of my favorite things about this game were the unique arcs.. But i dont seam to see people playing them much. (granted ive only been back a week). I see lots of requests for radio missions (boring) Or Arcitect farms, (even more boring) Or just rerunning one of a hand full of Task forces.


Does anyone lvl the old fasion way? play story arcs, in there lvl, get a group going for a night and run an arc? So many fantatic arcs around, with such unique feel, but i never see people looking for um these days.

im on justice for hero side, and infinity for villains..

am i just missing the new places to hang out and find teams? or do people just not run this stuff anymore?

back in the day you could just go PUG's and get story arcs rolling with out much effort, is there a place that people do this today? Or is everything about farming or ITF rewards?

If there is a server more geared to this style, Please let me know..

well i havent been around for a few years.. Played a lot before the whole power set proliferation thing hit. i recall back that they were talking about what they were planing on adding a year+ down the road. castle would post about stuff that was in the works for down the road, in random posts talking about other powers and such.

Back then rad melee was talked about often, but perhaps not as much now sence they added tons of powers to all the AT's (atleast other than blaster secondary) I know rad melee was talked about often back when i was playing a lot.. the game has been around 7 years now, so perhaps rad isnt the in thing these days.


I like the idea of an MA secondary.. AR/MA could be lots of fun

yea i can see that...

But how long can you just cycle the same couple powers over and over before you get bored..

the flip side, you have lots less tools to deal with many situations., A rad and a siphoner is gonna take down an AV very fast, much faster than cycling your highest blasts. (especially being a cold blast)

Your also waiting till 32 i think (i forget off hand) to get adrenal boost? So your really lvling off fort and CM a huge portion of the game. To me another set would make the go from 1-35 way more fun

A kin with repel bouncing guys to herd um up and blow um out with a fulcurm shifted nuke, Or locking down with tendrels, as they just wiff.

With IO's+hasten you can get your recharges up pretty nice, and with a decent chain and a few other powers your never waiting on a recharge.

I dunno, emps are nice, but thats what i really like about this game, so many other AT's are nice too. On teams i typically rather have something else.. Just personal preferance i supose.

I guess things to think about..

recently back i was excited to make some new toons and i really like blasters, but i noticed a few things missing that i thought might make its way to blasters by this point. Just currious if there has been any word on..


Dark blast

Dark melee secondary


Radiation melee secondary.. (i know this has been a poplar request over the years for tanks and scrappers, dont see why it wouldnt make sence now with blasters getting radiation blast.)


anways, has there been any offical word on new sets coming or adding more of the cross power expansions like they have done over the last few years?

Ive been gone about 2 years now.. Just was currious what the builder was everyone is using these days. Is there more than one? I forget what i used before, midi? or was it mids? I forget its been awhile. (new comp, lost old links so dont recall)

basically whats the builder everyone is using these days? anyone got a link? I wanna start playing with new builds and look at the New IO's.. so much customization its mind boggling these days..

i honestly wouldnt do empathy.. sure it will be nice to fort each other and CM.. But im not sure its really worth having all those powers in a primary that just wont really be used..


to me a pair of kins would be way stronger.. Or try something different like a dark and rad combo..


I could see fire/dark, fire/rad being really nice.. Or perhaps something like a pair of kin/sonics, give um the same uniform/look.. sorta wonder twinds like.

doing something like this your gonna have so many more tools to use, Vrs just both spaming the regens, and fort/CM..

Id rather carry a few BF's and a couple of purples for when needed and have many other powers that are far more usefull in most situtations.

anyone have a link to a new builder? I can post mine, something i did really cheap a few years back.. It really does shread well.

I was thinking about this combo.. I have messed around with fire a little but dont know much about electric.

How is its end use? Seams like theme wise it might be a neat combo/concept. didnt see any guides on it, or electric in general. Anyone ever try this?

title says it all.. Whats your favorite? I was thinking on getting one perhaps for a new toon when the new I21 hits and the new powerset..

So what are you thoughts on what ya think is a really cool booster pack?

thats for the great answeres.. Im very excited to be back and explore all this new stuff..

Just read about I-21 too.. Sounds like even more great changes. a alter-time set sounds like awesome to the 9th degree.. If that doesnt say super hero i dont know what does !

ive been out for about 2 years now, i came back a short time a couple years ago for a month or 2, for architect. I know about IO's, just currious if there has been any big shake ups in this aspect over the last 2+ years

i see you can buy rename tokens.. Is there any way to earn them? Is changing name on a toon first time free? same with server transfer slots (i noticed the buttons in the UI, but cilcking on them didnt reveal any prices, didnt want to keep going and get sucked into a charge i dont want. (link to that info for the store would be great)


MY favorite toons are a fire/storm troller, kat/dark scrapper, ice/fire tank, energy/energy blaster.. Any major changes to these sets? or really any of the old sets. Im sure there have been changing so im not really asking for a giant list, I mean just something that really changed the way things are played in the last few years.

I noticed positrons taskforce got updated, (can you run the old one from the arcives to rerun missions? that time travel place) Any other of the old taskforces get an update?
I saw faultine get an update, rikki warzone, and the hollows also got a pass, any zones sence then get an update, outside of the new going rogue zones obviously (crosses figures about boomtoom)


can you get back to the new zone pretoria after lvl 20? if not, are there any badges really worth getting? im not a huge badge hunter outisde of one toon the first i made, but im not obbessed about it. But if there is something really cool to grab i dont wanna miss if if ya cant return. if you cant return is there any talk about adding on to this dimention in the future for the old heroes/villans to get there for badge hunting?


with inheriant fitness these days, it seams like most toons got an extra 3 power slots to add on.. But no extra slots.. Seams like you are slot hungry these days, is that really the case?

With the whole new factions, with vigilante and rouge and such, whats up with Super bases? are there any merged bases hero/villan? can you access a hero base from villain side in the case of a vigiliante. Im wondering if you lose access to bases or how supergroups are getting effected by swapping factions.



Ive heard of some new extended 50 content, something about continuning to add on to your hero.. Something about your character not being done at 50 anymore like some new powers or somethihgn. Any links to what thats all about?

i noticed a bunch of new servers, some europe ones, and a few others, Union, defiance, perhaps a couple others.. How are these new servers doing? I play hero side on justice, and villan side infinity, was just surprised to see an older MMO adding servers vrs closing.. Nice to see for a change

tried saving some costumes in the creator, after updating them a little, and it told me certain items dont exist.. (toons made back at launch) Have the peices been moved, or are these costume peices no longer avaiable? (im hoping the first, but i dont wanna edit something with out being able to get it back) So currious if there are any known issues with costume parts no longer being avaiable

I know lots of Q's but any help would be great.. Loving the new Ultra graphics look, and costume creator has never looked better. the new tutorial, and preatoria zone really seams interesting so far and im looking forward to playing after a long break



so thanks in advance..

i have not heard of a driver removal program.. where is this program from? Is it an nvida prog?

should i get and use it, and reinstall my drivers again?

ohhh joystick... perhaps thats it...

as far as other info that might help? Im really not sure what you mean.. Vista 64, logitech mouse..

I did the vista upgrades recomended in the sticky with editing my reg, Not sure if ill still get my lost vid driver crash, But thats what started the whole prob this time.


Btw is there a keyboard command to open options menu? Perhaps ill just unplug joystick and see if that fixes it. Saitek aviator, with most recent drivers or win update site.


Also speaking of drivers, I updated with the latest of Nvidia's site, 190.62, also now getting a microsoft service pack 2 DL as well, this one poped AFTER i did a reg edit.. not sure if that had anything to do with it or not, or this is just a service pack 2 patch

this is random... i have no idea how to get it to stop, some days i log in and it happens, others it doesnt.. I did just upgrade my drivers and no luck.


any time i try to open a menu, Like Main menu (the one connected to your main character bar with health/xp ect..

chat menu, trying to switch global channels,, Or the chat bubble at the end of the bar, or try to combine insperations

Not sure if there are any others..

curser bug?


the menu closes in like a 1/2 second.. basically faster than i can click on anything no mater how hard i try. even if i done move the mouse at all and just click the same thing happens. Anyone know of a fix or why this is happening?

Its kinda game breaking when you cant combine insp, talk to people, play emotes and such or even log out to switch toons..

Yea i can work around all this stuff or just not use it, but still this is a very frusterating issue. But i cant even access the menu to send ina bug report and ask for help ingame.. *sigh

anyone??

I figured i would ask, im guessing they dont stay published. But when your account runs out what happens to your arcs?

Do they stay on the publish server? or do they get pulled from being able to be played? what happens to the ratings if they are pulled? Is there some sorta limbo that the published arc wont be playable but still stored on their servers? Do they stay for a certain leanth of time?

Just wondering how all this stuff works.

again.. sorry if i made it seam like i was saying how i didnt like the people saying.. Spell check.. like i say, wish i could of done it in the editor.

I did install word, which has SP+grammer checker, which is a program which i honestly think you can get the eqaul in freeware at this point in time.

This really should be added to the MA

i think whats happening a lot is people are just over doing the difficulty buttons.. Ohh thats a cool power to give my guys, but when mixed with other powers its soo far over the top.

this customization is a major balancing act. When the devs make a new group they dont just toss it together and then make a mission outta it. they test, and test, and test, and test more. Different at's, different lvls, different group combos. half this stuff people publish a ton of it never even saw a single full group let along a group of heavy blasters, or heavy melee, or lots of debuff, or what ever.

You dont even need to goto custom to make stuff over the top. you could say take, CoT spectral demons, demon lords and Bone daddies and make a group that people would one star and quit after the first mob.

Guess MA did one thing, it sure does show the average person how difficult it is to make a custom group thats fun for more than one group type

Note, this also worked great on a team with controls, we broke through his mez protection before he started running, but all that stacked mez was gone when he popped Resurgence. Even with five controllers, we couldn't keep him in the mission after he rezzed. It was huge fun, and quite hardcore, but at the same time, not too much danger to solo with my Stalker.

WHat about slows though? Perhaps siphon speed, tar patch, catrops snowstorm, would get him slowed enough to get him locked up. just a thought, im kinda having teh same problem, but my mission is for lowbies soo i really have to becarefull with the power of the enemy
