Hmm, after weeks of searching I still haven't found myself

Aww man (took me a while to see this but) damn. Sad to see you leave Omega, was always good teaming with you, take care in your future endeavours. I just hope y'all do come back for good at some point in the future.

Test server wont work for me, says my account expired....

So long as I can buy pitchers of Vodka and Red Bull AND drink them at the PC again, I'd be there....oh and if it's in Birmingham too, or somewhere around the middle...(seeing how most folks I know in CoH are further North than I)

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared, she said "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in bel air"

Sounds interesting, shame you're not going forward with the in-character stuff though. Any chance of trimming the intro static down a bit? Or maybe throw in some garbled Paragon related news (preferably something comical, like 'Recluse's manicure goes awry'...I dunno)

Why nerf us? Why not buff the enemy....

A Shadow Shard War Zone would be rather nice, especially if it was made co-op thus giving villains more TF's in the 40-50 range. Would be cool if we got to see the other sides of Rularuu such as Chularn the Slave Lord, Kuularth the Scavenger, Aloore the Watcher and Uuralur the Mirror. I think it would be awesome if that somehow it was possible that we could fight our reflected selves as EB's/AV's in a Uuralur TF/Arc.

Also of course they could finally let us fight the big guy....

(Apologies if this has all been mentioned before but I dont read the forums often, does that make me a troll?)

Happy New Year y'all.

Seeing how I've had to petition a lot recently due to Richard Branson and his seemingly endless capacity for evil.

Thought I'd post my stalkers costumes, shes a lovely Steampunk/Nemesis woman with a habit of stabbing..

and Ghost Widow as the scarecrow....

[/ QUOTE ]

Wouldnt Scirocco make a better scarecrow and GW could be the fairy or something?

Just a thought

[/ QUOTE ]

Yea...I was thinkin that too, but y'know....flying monkeys an all that jazz.

Oooh ooh how about the Wizard of (Arachn)Oz?

Featuring Black Scorpion as the Tin Man, Mako as the cowardly Shark and Ghost Widow as the scarecrow....Surely it'd be lovely with flying Rikti monkeys and the Recluse with big butterfly wings...I've not thought this through, my mind sidetracked at flying monkeys....

Oh and those other ideas were awesome too.

What happened was last week some of my characters wouldn't load, it'd just say No mapServer Connection. Try Again. It seemed to do this to my characters when they were loading zones leaving them in some sort of limbo that I'll never be able to see, but on the select screen it says they are where I try to zone to (it happened when loading mission maps aswell). I contacted the thingy-of-whatsit folks via petition and they basically said I should forward my ports (after some other stuff, like sending them the thing from using their support tool) Of course the funny side being that they are forwarded and this IP is in my routers DMZ. So I figured 'meh, must be the router' and thus I remove it from the equation. The same problem still arises though and now I have all my new characters stuck and unplayable and the ones I can play are stuck in one zone and I dread to try moving them. I will get back in contact with them again though but I'm just wondering if anyone else has similar problems? Could just be a Virgin media thing where I live though...I just hope I don't end up missing the winter event because of this and having just resubbed (funny thing, I resubbed once it ran out and then pow...I can't play anymore, hahahaha) and bought several new character slots aswell...

I've got several characters stuck because of this, they just wont login. Very frustrating.

But yea if anyone should eb blamed its Branson, he's been out to get me for a very long time.

Well that just aint fair....

It's gonna be the Good Vs Evil thing all over again and we're gonna be made to pay for those pieces if we want them. Seriously...'Whats that? You've been playing almost 3 years and your last Veteran Reward was a Respec? Well good news, heres some stuff you wont get right away because Mac users are busy lording it over you and then we'll offer it to yuo for a price! We reward loyalty'

Wow...Captain Andromeda's costume is awesome.

Lalalalalala. Ok here it goes:

1. Volt (my main)
First (Main Costume) - Second (Vanguard Cossy) - Third (One of my favourite costumes) - Fourth (had to use the cyborg pieces on at least one of his costumes...)

2. Exigent
Second (not gonna bother with his first...) - Third (Cyborg pieces yo)

3. Despoiler
First - Second - Third (Hail to the 5th) - Fourth...isn't getting posted as it blatantly rips off a certain DC character

4. Dr.Pulsar
First - Second - Third

5. Disastro
First (Lost costume) - Second (tried to do Rikti Mesmerist armour..this'll probably get changed) - Third (Tried for a gold age style look) - Fourth (Carnie costume)

6. Polygone
First - Second - Third - Fourth

7. Dreadlock (kinda overused Vanguard armour on him but meh he is actually a member so hey everything is fine now yay)
First - Second - Third (PPD armour...sorta) - Fourth (I just needed an excuse for the Nictus sword)

8. Vacuon (my only toon on Union, was gonna rp with him but I could never work the courage and whatnot...)
First and Only

I have more but this is a tiring endeavor for one of such laziness as myself....

...and if you are THAT unlucky that you don't get anything decent after 18 hrs TFing, you surely will have generated enough inf to purchase the desired recipe anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yea, I was this unlucky and no I did not have the right amount of inf to buy what I wanted and the recipes I gained from the TF's were rubbish. This is why I welcome the merits. I'd rather know I can definately earn them while playing gaining inf and not lose an incredibly large amount of inf once I have enough (Or in my case recently save up so much only to discover I still dont have enough as the people selling were asking far more than what had previously been sold).

And in total I think my bad luck spanned quite a bit more than 18 hours....

-Merit System: I don't like the looks of it, but yet to try it. Tbh what upsets me most of this system is the change from Posi's initial announce where it was supposed to be an option to existing rewards.
I like doing TF's and some of them are mandatory (*sigh, Positron) for accolade so I'll keep doing them anyway, before I had the chance of a good/useless recipe, now I get supermarket vouchers and I need to do quite a few TF's for same chance of same recipe or grind quite an awful lot of TF's for the desired recipe... I guess I can live with that since, as I said, I like TFing and I like some accolades.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well you can roll for a random TF recipe for 25 merits...which is basically the same. And all TF's seem to give at least 25 merits meanwhile others give more so you could get 2 the chance for 2 rubbish recipes :P Or you could save up and make sure you get a good one (Well, more than a good one, the exact one you want...if you want any...)

I seriously hope they change their mind on Surge of Power (looks wise)...was considering taking it on my blaster as its more thematic than Force of Nature but only if I dont get turned into a mass of rubbish. I hate powers that conceal costumes ('Yea lets hide the best thing about this game! Take that Dark armour users!'.....joy)

Wheres the Nemesis horse things already?

Happy Birthday...so, level 18 huh? You gain the new ability 'Legal Drinking'.

This does of course take all the fun out of mischievous illegality...

Aw [censored]. I really enjoyed Omega Sektor, was hopin' it would happen again..

I only hope there is another thing like this in the midlands (mainly so that those who live further North might be more inclined to come)
