I've been around since closed beta. I enjoyed the ride. As much as I don't want the game to end, based on numbers below from the NCsoft Investor Website, COH/COV may not be bringing in as much money as it once did:

Consolidated Sales Breakdown by Game (Excluding Royalties)
NCsoft Corp. & Subsidiaries
(January 2012~ June 2012)

(Unit : KR Mn Won)
--------------- 1Q, 2012 ---- 2Q, 2012 ---- Total
Lineage ----- 43,646 ---- 58,449 ---- 102,095
Lineage II ----- 18,413 ---- 16,912 ---- 35,325
Aion ----------- 52,947 ---- 36,367 ---- 89,314
COH/COV ----- 2,890 ---- 2,855 ---- 5,745
Guild Wars----- 1,709 ---- 1,277 ---- 2,986
Others ----------- 6,334 ---- 13,822 ---- 20,156
Total ----------- 125,940 ---- 129,682 ---- 255,622

Not sure what these units are: "Unit : KR Mn Won"

If I understand the above correctly, COH/COV had less than 1000 sales ($14.95) per month? Can that be right? Also, I'm not sure how point sales were tabulated.

Mr. Spectrum is a L24 alt of mine. I just logged on for a 1/2 hour or so while doing the laundry. Corebreach sent me a tell informing I won after I entered the Training Enhancement store in IP. LOL I thought it was a joke and he'd give me 75 influence. But he handed over 75M in influence! I need that type of luck in RL.

Thanks again Corebreach!

We are crashing because we downloaded today's patch. Reload the previous version of the game, the current version is broken. I'm going to miss out on getting the cryogenic armor because I can't complete the "Defeat all Sky Raiders in Lab" mish

I've crashed twice on virtue and freedom in the past hour

I redeemed all six of my new character slots on my home server Freedom. I used four, and then logged in my L50 Villain so I could roll a VEAT. After I logged out my L50 Villain, I logged back into my account to find my two remaining new character slots gone!

Has this or something similar happened to anyone else?

Ok I logged to desktop and then logged back in and the 2 new character slots reappeared

The Faultline beacon actually teleports you to the old fault map. I was at the old dam for one seconds and then the loading screen for AP appeared.

I'll wait for a redname to respond on this issue before I do the leg work for the new Faultline badges.

And if anyone has done the leg work for the new FL badges and has the coordinates -- please post em

" Many objects in the game which were meant to be immune to Teleportation have been made so. This affects several powers in the Traps Secondary and Gadgets secondary for players."

I don't believe this quoted reason for one second.

Are you telling me since Issue #1, Auto Turrnet was never meant to be teleported from mob to mob? Give me a break. If this is the case why wasn't it fixed Issue #2-#6? You mean you're just now getting around to fixing this?


Wild Theory:

I think this is all about the FOTM Uber Thugs/Traps Masterminds that popped up Issue #7. The Friend Recall nerf to the MM Traps power set forced the Blaster Devices power set to take a hit (to be in line) IMHO.

BTW, I love FOTM builds, what a don't like is the nerf to the power set Traps forcing a weak power set like Devices to become even weaker.

And if we go with the quoted reason for this change, Why should we expect a balancing boost elsewhere in the power set? After all, the objects where never intended to be portable in the first place!

Only one type of banner can have one type of logo. What I mean by this is say you change you SG logo and colors to that of a coalition SG (Thats what I did) then place Large tech banner 1 with that logo, then you drop out of base edit mode and change your logo and colors back to your true SG ones.
When you return to edit mode you can never again move or use that banner again, if you do it will change to what ever your logo is now.

If you look you can see that none of the baners are the same other then the ones with my real logo.

Thanks for that tip DT. Here's my first attempt, I may go back later and make all the letters the same color

Valhalla's SG Banner

Nice Work Dark Tower!

I started playing around with the new base features. I still need to finalize a color scheme, but posted the results below:

It will be looked at between I7 and I8.

The "Shield" Logo appears as a blank solid square on the SG hologram stand.

The new banners, tables and logos really look sharp! Nice touch Devs. The prices, as always, are insane.

Gratz on the promotion Positron!

"Issue 8 will also bring with it the Veterans' Reward system. This will allow us to give out special thank-you gifts to our players based on the number of months they have been subscribed. These gifts will range from costume pieces to powers to base items and beyond. You don't even have to do anything to get them, other than keeping an active account."

Cool! A bride for not cancelling our accounts

problem is that the dev rationale for the repel change was to keep stormers from pinning opponants in corners during base raids.

seems to imply it was a pvp change.

And if we follow the Dev's rationale a bit further, I'm afraid we may see powers like force bubble and telekinesis whacked.

Patch Notes:

“Hurricane's Repel effect is now slightly less abusive in PvP situations. Hurricane will still interrupt Assassin Strikes, but it should no longer be possible to pin a player in a corner during Base Raids. The repel effect activates more slowly causing a reduction in the endurance cost over time to use the power.”

You know, this may not be a lie, but it is definitely a half-truth:

1. “Hurricane's Repel effect is now slightly less abusive in PvP situations.” (TRUE)

2 “Hurricane will still interrupt Assassin Strikes, but it should no longer be possible to pin a player in a corner during Base Raids.” (TRUE)

3. “The repel effect activates more slowly causing a reduction in the endurance cost over time to use the power.” (HALF-TRUTH) After reading sentence 1., one may assume that this is a PVP change made for PVP reasons. Why wouldn’t one make that assumption? Hurricane has been working as intended in PVE since Issue one.

I guess I made an a$$ of myself for believing that there would be a PVP version of Hurricane and an untouched PVE version. I mean that is the wildest assumption one could make reading the patch notes.

PvE repel is exactly the same strength as before. Yes, it ticks more slowly, which is a double edged sword -- it costs you less endurance to maintain, but it's not quite as good defensively.

Why was hurricane touched at all for PVE? Were the patch notes a lie or mistake?

STOP NERFING PVE FOR PVP!!

"Tired of not being able to store those special Inspirations you’ve been lugging around for months? Do you wish you could leave your Salvage and Enhancements in your cozy citadel for you and your compatriots to use later? With the new Storage Items you will be able to create Inspiration receptacles, Enhancements containers, and bins to keep all your Salvage in a convenient spot for all to share!"

Why can't we just buy storage bins? Why must we create and then place them?

...and in case didn't hear...

Tank were never intended to hit moving targets.

This was done to bring them in line with minions.

I think you may also need the Manticore TF Badge too. It appears to be that way with my toons.

One shotting by AV's. In a word, you are ALL correct. It's not a good thing for an Ice Tanker to be leveled by a single blow. So we're going back and changing the damage done by AV's so that it's no longer possible for a Tanker to be one shotted.

I hope that goes for my Regen scrapper too

I hope the Giant Monsters get toned down a bit too.
