    I'm always amazed at the way you guys do keep up with the recent pace of change in the game. I always feel for the Mids team everytime a new powerset with a new gimmick comes out.

    I'm sorely missing the CIT site but I understand sometimes the poo hits the fan and we are all just grateful that it's being sorted in such a professional manner.

    Bug hugs to the Titan crew.
  2. Hell yes. I had a terrible time on my older characters in the Kane trial, scrabbling through massive lists of temp powers trying to find my perma-temp cossies before the monster dies at the end.

    Depends what server you are on. Red-side on Defiant you could grow old and die waiting in the LFG queue for a DfB or Kane trial.

    Good job the Winter Lord event has been changed to an LFG queue with a minimum of 12 players

    For some completely mad reason the hero and villain skins seem to use completely different html rather than just have a few css tweaks.



    EDIT:

    Looks like there's some rogue div end tags screwing up the hero skin



    These are not present in the villain skin. Someone's been tinkering...
  5. Hi,

    I passed my 6 year anniversary in CoH last week. I received the additional Paragon Reward Token for completing a whole year but have not received the 6 Year Veteran badge.

    Anyone know if this is busted? Has anyone received an annual badge since Freedom?

    I have a petition in but I thought I'd ask here in case it was a known issue or other people are having the same problem.

    Yay!
  7. There seems to be 4 separate dates functioning here.

    Note: My billing date is the 22nd of the month according to my account page.

    1. Server transfers - got mine at the beginning of the month as expected
    2. Paragon Points - got mine early on the 12th when they seemed to dump them on most people
    3. Paragon Rewards - got two reward tokens (one for the month, one for the year) a couple of days ago. Close enough to the billing date, ish.
    4. Veteran Reward Badges - Even though I got the additional reward token for being subbed 6 years I still haven't got my 6 Year Vet badge.

    Good job at making things overly complicated chaps.
  8. So, in a future incarnate trial are we going to find out this was all a dream?

    Oh, it's not just me then. I thought my GPU was dying!

    Currently running a GTX 460 on 280.26 (was having the same problem on 275.33)

    I'll install 285.62 and hope that sorts it.

    I guess they want to "incentivize" people into running the less popular trials.
  11. Please please please can we get some decent video of these panels for those of us that can't drop a grand on a day trip to the States?

    It's lovely that there is often a fan video but it's often hard to hear what's going on when the video is taken from an iPhone waving about at the back of the room. Now that Herr Zwillinger is so handy on UStream can we get an official video feed from the con?

    Woah, that would be cool in a 50s Sci-Fi kind of a way
  13. Why is the Medusa hair female only? Please can we get M/H versions of this?

  14. This is why we need a Paragon Market forum, so we can warn other players of moronic pricing like this and point them towards the better deals.

    Really, over $5 for a cape? Madness.
  15. Sorry but $45 is a lot for what is a basic tool for communication.

    I don't know about your server but on Defiant, if you are not in the global channels you will never know there is anyone on the server. All the recruitment for teaming is done through the global events channel, the SGs I run with all use a global channel for cross-server comms.

    It should not be a reward, it should be a basic, readily available tool. Make it premium only so they've had to pay their $5, make it invite only for premiums so no spammers can get in the channel, but make it easy for people to team.
  16. I don't get the logic here. You are deprecating the SG Recruitment forum because those threads are more suitable for the specific server boards (which makes sense) yet you are creating a general builds board and taking posts out of the specific AT boards where, IMHO, they make more sense to reside.

    If I want help with a tank build I'd head for the tank forum, not start trawling through a board of random builds on the off chance I can find a tank one amoungst all the scrapper, brute, stalker, etc. ones.
  17. I'm flashbacking Lt Harris' arc via Ouroboros to get the Freedom Cracker badge. I've gotten as far as the Release the Arachnos Prisoners mission but there are no prisoners to rescue



    Anyone else had this problem?


    UPDATE:
    I had to petition this and get a GM to complete the mission for me. The rest of the arc was completed without issue and the badge correctly awarded.

    Strangely the SG recruitment board is being deprecated and the threads being put in the individual server boards but the Build Workshop board has been introduced instead of builds being in the appropriate AT board...



    Makes no sense.

    the only secondary i could see as useful is energy manipulation due to all the click buffs such as powerboost, boost range, and build up, the other powers in it are just gravy
    Dude, you're doing it wrong...

    • Build Up: As someone else said, why would you not use this??
    • Thunder Strike: Knockback is good mitigation and does great damage.
    • Power Sink: The defining power of the set.
    • Shocking Grasp: Hold #3 on my Elec^3 (okay, technically hold #2 of 3), allows me to perma-hold EBs, also a good place to 6-slot Lockdown for +Ranged Defense and the +2 Hold proc, or 4-slot Basilisk's Gaze for +Ranged Defense and +Recharge (I forget which set I have in there, probably BG since I use Tesla Cage more often thus it benefits from the proc more often). Oh wait, I have Mako's Bite in there for +Ranged Defense (better than BG) and it also does High DoT.
    Can't speak for other secondaries as this is my only Blaster, but I definitely get a lot of use out of Electricity Manipulation.
    ^^ This. My Elec/Elect blaster spends most of his life in melee range punching stuff in the face. Having a decent tank around helps of course.
  21. I really hope they fix this to take PBAoE sets, the TAoE IO sets suck for melee attacks.

    The mail system is a little bit too basic and has no concept of "read" mail. It's either there or it isn't.

    Yes, it's annoying

    1. Fight three Shivans. Any anywhere will do, your actions will have no impact on anything at all

    2. Click on a guy we've never seen before and have no possible reason to care for and choose your alignment.

    3. Fight a giant monster. Or don't, you advance either way.

    Throughout the whole thing, I felt like I was on a carnival ride - there were lots of cool things to see, but at the end of the day, I don't get to participate in any of the action and I'm never in any real danger because it's just a carnival ride.
    I agree with everything you posted but you forgot the most important item from your list:

    4. Learn to use the Paragon Market.

    TBH I felt that was the entire point of the new tutorial.

    Defiant has a great enviroment for serious gamers and trying to force us to spread out to the American servers would be a big detriment to us. The server had also had a lot more players lately and with the big knowledge base among the veteran defiants I saw only good things ahead. Amongst other things the defiant server handled the invasion event much more handedly than than the freedom server. I honestly dont really see much joy in leaving defiant behind. So far this is just rumours off course but I seen a certain.. bias towards the American servers and especially the freedom server, so I would not be suprised if you suddenly decided to downgrade the Euro servers. Hopefully you will fix this problem soon.
    I think that's probably the stupidest rumour I've heard in 6yrs of playing this game...
