    How bout fire/Cold? I'm currently working on a fire/cold.

    I love my rad/rad but fire doesn't have the rooting, range, casting times and recharge problems that rad primary does.

    No, we are not over-reacting. People are reacting perfectly reasonably to a change that was not needed and pushed through without being mentioned in the patch-notes.

    These are the types of changes that piss customers off to the point of canceling subs. This "fix" has ruined the routine of many players for the past 2 weeks.

    Castle wants to fix something, fix the server lag on ITF that MANY have been asking for. Fix PvP using the communities requests tribe had listed many posts ago.

    If no one is complaining about it don't F*ing fix it.

    Signed,

    EDIT: The design intent for Green Mitos is you essentially HAVE to hold them or they are nigh unkillable.

    Dear Castle,

    The new rule is more than welcomed in Hami-raids.

    This is a completely ridiculous change for a TF of eight. Please change it back.

    Thank you.

    Hi there!

    Just recently migrated my rad/rad to Freedom from Virtue. I had the privilege of holding the " worst PvPer on Virtue" title; hoping to continue the downy kid legacy here on Freedom.

    I've been searching for a list of Freedom Global channels to join, i'm surprised there isn't a Global Channel thread stickied in here.

    My interests are speed runs and PvPIO farming and Hami raids; been having trouble getting people interested in speed runs on virtue, I figured the community on freedom would be less adverse to it. Any suggestions as to what Global Channels I should join would be much appreciated.

    d;D

    I have most certainly adopted a 'wait and see' approach. The lack of community relations and advertising concerning GR have made me VERY skeptical. The last few issues have been nothing but fluff yet branded with the words "new content." Now GR comes along and we are told it's an expansion with loads of content yet we have been given little more information for several months. Beginning to think the claims of "loaded with content" are a bit exagerated. I haven't jumped on the doom wagon yet, but advertising/marketing has certainly made me a skeptic.

    I'm pretty sure the poor implementation of i13 PvP and AE had a dramatic affect on subscribes as well. Funny how the problems with both i13 and AE could have been avoided if the devs had listened and reacted to the warnings from the greater community.

    Pretty much hit the nail on the head with the above statement. CoX development team have never been about updating content in order to keep the game current. It takes time and resources to update existing content, much easier to create new content to distract players from the old. (The posi TF is an exception to this rule and I hope the beginning to many more exceptions to come.)

    [Tell] Guy?: lol u turn down xp?!
    [Tell] -->Guy?: Precisely.
    [Tell] Guy?: u must be a noob nm lol
    [Tell] -->Guy?: *Polishes 66 month badge* Ayup!
    [Tell] Guy?: 66 vet and ur still a noob shame

    So, there you have it, folks. The big news for today - I'm a noob. And here I always thought I was just a garden variety idiot. The more you know, I guess.

    *edit*
    I'm ashamed I got my veteran badges wrong, by the way. I just checked, and the last one I have is 69.
    I am glad you came to terms. The first step is acceptance.

    I like the new features of this new market UI, however it is clunky, cluttered and ugly.

    I'll point out a few things I'd like to see changed once I get home and am able to fool around with it but the above has been my experience so far.

    Oh, yes and the new market ate 200mil of my infamy. It's an insiginifanct amount I know, but it was annoying and I'm still having market burps where I will accidently purchase more than one or have to click "get" repeatedly for it to appear in my recipes tray.

    How can I fully become a hot + sexy + swift + strong + powerful super cat girl if I'm suppressed (LAME) , my powers and sets are diminished (LAME) , I can't heal properly (LAME) , I'm auto mezzed (LAME) , and all that other lame stuff (LAME, LAME, LAME) while I'm trying to save Paragon and the ENTIRE planet from all those mean yucky eeew gross villainous villains?

    Also, this cat girl wuvs her shiney shinies but they are so hard to get even though I have killed lots of mean yucky eeew gross villainous villains (LAME) , WW employees never give out cat girl discounts although they keep hitting on me (LAME) and I don't have an e-sugar daddy to buy them! GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You said on your interview that your job was to make sure the game is not lame so for the wuv of all things kitty (yes cute wittle puppy doggies too!) , prrrrrretty prrrrrretty prrrrrrease hehe use your super anti-lame power of suggestion on the boys in the office and make them fix all these LAME PvP things soon without the tm so I can become the hot, sexy, swift, strong, and powerful villain vanquishing super cat girl with lots of shinies that I deserve to be!

    If not, give the state of the game, I would really love to see them either change existing SF's so they can be done with 2 or made some duo friendly SF's.
    Just ask politely if someone will pad for your SF. I'd strongly recommend getting a third person if you are attempting to speed run. I run Cap SFs in 30 mins and respec trials in 15 with three people.

There would be interaction in the sense that actions on one map could affect the other map, e.g. capturing an objective on map A would unleash a mob on map B.

    For example, one scenario could be a prison break. The hero team is fighting thru prisoners to reach a control room guarded by AVs, and the villain team is fighting thru guards to reach the control room guarded by AHs.
    So you want indirect competition? I like the idea of competition with goals such as King of the Hill, capture the flag and base capturing, this makes PvP much more fun than the "lets go to arena and foight each other," style of PvP which is just...boring.

    Guild Wars has an EXCELLENT PvPE end game and some great rewards for cooperative PvP games. (Such as special Auras exclusively for PvP ranking and high-end loot.)

    I'm hoping perhaps the Developers from City of Heroes get a chance to work with the GuildWars PvP team.

    I couldn't stand the grind of Aion, but that's anothr NCsoft game I'm sure the devs could learn from.

    However, let them get PvP right first. (Meaning, it'll probably never happen.)

    Rumor has it they are updating the database as a precursor to a possible server merge.

    I'm enjoying i17 immensely. Im rich so I am able to afford a connection and a computer that can run Ultra Mode. keep up the good work Devs!

    Oh, the RV Villain heavy still has no endurance. I believe the market is still down. I lost about 500mil through the mail system when globals went down, but I have more.

    Oh, ouroboros teleporter animation and sound are looping on villainside. PvP is still bugged. After you enter the cim map next to the crystal people are getting stuck under the geometry and in the geometry.

    ITF there's still a tremendous amount of server lag. MM pets disappear or run away on a few of the indoor maps.

    All I can really think of at the moment.Quite a lot of bugs to remember, I'm sure someone else will remember.

    Everythings really pretty though and Aeon's new villain archs are fantastic.

    3) i prefer the old WW interface anyways

    4) I cant read the numbers enhs anymore in my build screen


    So to the op "shafted" maybe/maybe not but some things are very suckky atm
    I agree with this sentiment completely. I felt shafted with the PvP and AE changes, the above are understandable yet sucky side effects of an issue going out much too early.

    I sympathize with the development team, they have a metric ton of work preparing for GR's release.

    I am much more irritated with MARKETING sitting on their thumbs and twidling the anniversary week away. Where the hell are our GR sneak peeks? Come on... a picture of a zone, a new biography..give us something other than NOTHING.

    Heres the vid. (I lol'd)

    Honestly I'm touched that he took the time to photoshop pictures from cohfaces to make this stalkerish vid about me. Dude even drew pictures....

    Another good example I can think of is my all human peacebringer. He is a kheldian merged with a photo-electric AI with a robotic shell around it. Since the object he merged with is non-organic, he cannot leave this robotic shell without dire consequences (No shapeshifts, but lightform is ok because of the time limit and crash).

    I have rationalized though. I've got an AR/EM who's not supposed to be super at all. A few of the EM attacks I took as "martial arts training."
    The limitation of your imagination is not my problem.
