  1. I'm giving this a /half-signed. *shock and horror*

    Why? On the one hand, do you ever see in comic books that while x supergroup/team are in their HQ planning their next activity/mission, another hero/villain from another supergroup/team walks in and plays about with what ever equipment's in?

    But this is also extremely useful for the low levels.

    Personally, I'd rather see the low level contacts drop the "go there, talk to him, come back, go there, beat up them" thing.
  2. Poor, poor, poor.

    Give some love to our dedicated players, instead of all this rubbish. I have about 15 tailor tokens free on my main, and I'm still at 24 months, why would someone 57 months need a tailor discount?

    These people are at the dawn of playing for 5 years...give them something that they will actually use!

    Bob: Yeah. Something classic, like, like Dynaguy. Oh, he had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots...
    Edna: [throws a wadded ball of paper at Bob's head] No capes!
    Bob: Isn't that my decision?
    Edna: Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids.
    Bob: Listen, E...
    Edna: November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when... his cape snagged on a missile fin!
    Bob: Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb...
    Edna: Stratogale! April 23rd, '57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!
    Bob: E, you can't generalize about these things...
    Edna: Metaman, express elevator! Dynaguy, snagged on takeoff! Splashdown, sucked into a vortex!
    Edna: No capes!

    This just reminded me how great a film that was. Great and original names, and very, very funny.

    Also, capes at level 1. WANT.

    That's all.

    Tailor Missions

    This reminds me of a mission on villains where you are given a hero costume disguise...but you can alter it any way you want, since it's taking up part of your costume slot.

    And, yes, Mr Ben rocks!

    And yes, it could be a little bit more intresting than "OH HELP, NEMESIS ARE ASKING FOR COSTUMES FREE OF CHARGE, KILL DEM SO THEY GO AWAY, ITS ALL A NEMESIS PLOT, WAAAAAAA"

    2 wrongs dont make one right Golden Girl.
    If they remove it from every hero that has it (2 badges lost)... they will wrong those of us who has put a lot of time and effert already in it.
    I hate the bright idea "lets remove Reformed"... but removing it from people who has it = not good.

    It was one of the badges that i really wanted for my main, her being.. Reformed and all that too...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    But it's unfair to suddenly make it unavailable - they should remove it totally, or add a proper Hero version for fighting the Longbow in the RWZ missions.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, great suggestion. Make hours, days, weeks, months of hard work go to waste.

    As other posters have said, that's just no thought gone into that.

    [ QUOTE ]

    No, they should either totally leave it in, or totally take it out - not half remove it, and half allow it.


    [/ QUOTE ]

    They do that in other MMOs, as Birdy said. Why not here?

    That's just what you want, GG, not what other people want.

    Ice/SS Build

    I'd like a PvE build, not a level 50 build, up to level 30, mix of SOs and cheap IOs, please.

    I have also nabbed one, as Shannon suggested, from the Gameamp forums:

    Ice/SS Build

    I have been hearing things that Ice/SS is currently the bomb both PvE and PvP.

    So I decided to give it a try...

    Now it would be nice if anyone could provide because any build I provide will probably just suck.

    Any advice on the set choices would be good too, thanks.

    This is the problem with the PPD. I mean, they even make news headlines about it...

    Welcome to Channel 567892 News with your presenter Zackary Testwards

    Welcome to Channel 567892 News. I'm Zackary Testwards. Our main headline tonight...

    WOMAN'S PURSE STOLEN; POLICEMAN DOES NOTHING

    Yesterday, a woman's purse was stolen in Atlas Park, with a police officer just a few feet away - but the policeman, who was leaning on the wall, did nothing.

    We talked to the victim; "That purse had my Statesman stamp collection! 20 years work gone! This is obviously a Nemesis plot!"

    PPD Guest Higher Vice Chief, Alan Hooshootspeple, refused to comment.

    In other news Statesman was seen in a Up and Away burger bar. A man was seen doing the Macaerna naked in Skyway City. And yet another Nemesis plot

    By the way, you might want to check this on MMOG Chart. Numbers don't lie, but I'll let you decide if that's low numbers.


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well, that's gotta be gospel then and Second Life is the lowest I've ever seen it quoted. I think you need to check the veracity of your sources before you quote them. In this case I think the numbers actually might not be telling you everything - but they may well be telling you what you want to hear

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Tbh, they look a trusted site to me, and although I can't confirm they're right, I think so.

    By the way, I'm not sure there CoX doomongers.

    Also, maybe SL's peak time is all day round? So you think it's a big population but it may be just be that a bunch of players come on at all times. After all, it's a worldwide game, so the time zones are different, and a batch of people from x country will come on at different times.

    Some advice

    OK guys. Now, as we all know, this forum is far, FAR different from the old days when it first was here.

    It's a shame that every thread seems to turn into a flamefest and everybody wants to troll everybody; and I won't deny it, I've done it myself.

    So here's some advice I made up...

    1. Don't meddle in threads you think are pointless

    JW is right. If you think the thread is pointless, don't get involved. This will only make the thread a place for flaming and trolling, and when it's closed - you might get the blame.

    2. If you see a flame war coming up or it has already started, it is wise to not post and inform a moderator

    We have all seen flame wars before, and we have seen how destructive they can be (pun not intended). Similar to my last piece of advice, if a flame war's the next order at the burger bar or it's already started, don't post and modify a moderator. Other people will, but notifying the moderator yourself puts you in a good light with the moderator, and the (sensible) forum community.

    3. Leave people to their opnions

    You have a freedom of opnion. Don't all that to be breached. If you think the servers are low, that's OK. If you think the servers are high, that's OK. Don't start a flame war over it.

    Now, that ends my post. I don't want the forum to shine a bad light on the community. After all, we do have a good one. Make sure you don't leave that sensibility and kindness in CoX and bring it to the forum, too.
  21. The_Phantoms_EU

    Lag :O

    Lag is sort of becoming accepted now since it's so common in CoX. Seriously, they say it's a problem in our end all the time, when lots of the time it's actually a server problem.

    Maybe they should host the servers in France, so instead of having massive lag over here in the UK, the UK has a non-laggy gameplay, the French players have a almost perfect non-laggy gameplay, and the Germans have the same as UK.

    Of course this might annoy a bit the Aussie/New Zelanders/Americans, but I've never seen them really report bad lag.
  22. The_Phantoms_EU

    Character stats

    Don't worry, we all turn stupid every now and again
  23. The_Phantoms_EU

    The Future

    Well other stuff has been asked, hasn't been implemented.

    Btw, there's not really been any major EU-suggested stuff put in. Sure, necklines came, and I suggested bolo ties in Jay's thread - next issue, bolo ties were there, but except those, there really hasn't been.

    Problem is devs don't really listen to the EU side. We either wait ages for GR to get it over or we sign up on US forums and suggest it there.
