    And that´s why I always loved (and miss you) BaBs. Your freakish sense of humor. A salute to you, my friend!

    Also... Never got myself to hate (that much) Jack. So, I guess, a salute to all your cryptic ex-devs... And if all comes to a flunk, maybe there would be a nice new home for our beleved Paragon Studios people...

    So, NCSoft, come out of the dark and just tell us WHY...

    We're at lunch now. I'll post more later but I am sharing your thoughts with the team.

    If we still have forum access next week the writers and I will do an "ask us anything" about CoH lore. And we mean ANYTHING lore related. If we not know it we'll make it up on the spot.
    Anything, really? REALLY? Even about the REAL relationship between Dominatrix and Tyrant? I know it´s SICK but I´ve always tought about it ever since: "After killing her mother, the infamous Miss Liberty, she started making a name for herself. She caught Tyrant's attention and has been serving him loyally, IN ALL CAPACITIES, ever since."

    Yeah, as the lights goes out I´m getting kinky like that....

    EDIT:
    And P.S. I´ll take the chance here, as I can´t put myself to seeing everybody saying good-bye now, and say... THANK YOU to all the devs and former devs (to me, all you Red Names are "devs"...) for bringing this world to live. It´s not just a game, really, it´s much more...
  3. Thanks Doc, it has been a great ride... And from no on... What´s up, Doc?
  4. Nicely done, sir, nicely done... Congratulations on all these years making me proud of being part of such a great game/community. You were amongst the reasons I kept coming back, even if just to say you were screwing up something... hehehe

    I still hope the game gets saved someway, but if the lights really go dark... Well, I hope you all get the jobs you deserve with paying checks that are double what you earn now.

    I know it might sound fake AND gay but... We love you, Posi. Keep your head up.

    FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MMMMM!!!!!!!!!

    And just for the sake of it.... DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!
  5. Thanks Melissa... Thanks to all of you at Paragon Studios. It has been a great time... And I DO hope it still will remain as such. Maybe another company, that is not the Devil, will find a way to keep you guys running. I will not lose hope...

    Anyway, my hope and prayers that all of you transition well over this.

    FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMM!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

    Alpha slots

    OK, I´m repeating myself (although made a lil´changes in the text) but I tought this should be better brought here for answers... Not sure why. And apologize in advance for it.

    With Alpha slots the thing is... What to make with the other stuff you already have?
    My Rad/Rad is at this time slotted for Perma AM/Hasten, with the whole build pretty much made around recharge. This cost me some Damage and some Resistance, I admit, but since he is a support toon it is fine. In groups I´m a God (All Hail THE Rad!). The thing is that when I´m alone I suck...
    Now, with Alpha slot, what should I do? Go for Spiritual, wich (depending of the one I choose) gives me Recharge, Healing, Stun and Slow... And that way opens up space to change the whole build again to slot for other purposes. Or stay with Musculature that ups my Damage and also can give Defense Debuff, Endurance Modification, ToHit Debuff and Run Speed... And leave most of the damn build as it is to simplify stuff?
    I´m kind of confused, not sure what would be better for my toon... Any toughts?

    I´m kind of confused, not sure what would be better for my toon, so I´ll have to wait and see...
  8. Well, on my Rad/Rad Perma AM/Hasten I slotted AM with EF all the way to the 6th slot... But if you´re looking for Perma you can´t think only on how you slot the power itself.
    I also pretty much made my whole build around Recharge, with my Global being +182,5% of Haste as Mids say. This means that every 118 sec I can hit the button on those powers, and as they last for 120 seconds...
    Of course, with the new Alpha slot EVERYTHING will have to be tought again, so my build is outdated... Well, it was fun to spend those 2 bill info (I believe that was the total in the end), hope I can do it again. LOL
  9. OK, not flaming or anything like that, but was I the only one upset that I can not take my old toons to Praetoria? Supersidekick opened up the horizons, we´re freed of the division between Heroes and Villains (if you´re a Rogue or a Vigilante you can enjoy both worlds), but there is still segregation for the poor old Primal Earth toons from Praetoria? I personally think it is unfair...

    So, any toughts on that? Any words from the Red Names about when and if Primal Earth toons will be able to access Praetoria?
  10. At this point I won´t be able to buy it, not because of monetary reasons but because they won´t sell it to me... The have an agreement with a crappy company that don´t give a damn to what they´re offering (last update on their site was Cyborg Pack). So, until I find a way to import a box from somewhere (I want the Complete one) I´m stuck at Primal Earth... CURSE YOU LEVEL UP!!!!

Because, you know, they are all so -recent-!
    So, we´re not only locked off from NCSoft but ALL the other big stores simply CAN NOT sell them to us. Best Buy, Game Stop, Amazon... Try to buy any of the boxes from them if you want, not even the original one from 5 years ago you can buy from here. The only choice is to find something ion E-Bay... *sighs*

    Yeah, maybe, but I believe if it was really the Marvel Online game they had planned we would have lost much more... Even as crappy as they are with Champions. But for now a Marvel Super Heroes Online Game (not the big-heads one) is still far away from happening...
    DCUO on the other hand is just around the corner, and it WILL attract fans to it... Even if it turns out to be a sucky online game (S-O-N-Y).
    SO I don´t think it would hurt to advertise CoX and SPECIALLY Going Rogue, being the new shiny and all, to NEW players that might join us... Retain old players is a good thing, bring back the ones that retired too... That is, if they still check the game out from time to time.
    Come on, let´s get real. Unless we already are playing this game we won´t get to listen much about it. I have the 18 months badge (almost getting the 21) and I only joined the game because a friend found a Box in Free Shop coming back from Argentina! Until this point the best "ads" I´ve been seeing are product placement in Big Bang Theory, but that also may only be catching my eyes because I already know what that is about...

    So, if this is "the best time for a new player to join" let´s get people to learn we exist!

    /end rant

    Oh no, wait, I´m forgetting something... GIVE ME MY ASYMMETRICAL PARTS!

    now I can end ranting...

    Team Ouro issue?

    Well, this kills the SG event I was planning on doing...

    Yeah, half closed... I remember seeing that too.

    Really, could it be made any more asymmetrically and show off what we can't do in the CC?
    I actually hope that it is a tip that they´re making asymetrical for everyone... I mean, come on! This one is COMPLETELY asymetrical! NOTHING matches the other side. I want one like that... I want it NAO!
  16. Howdy there!

    I mostly team up with SG mates or PUG and do PvE content, but my SG have started to go on PvP too more regularly and I would like to join (there´s badges on that too... lol). I was just wondering what role my toons could take on it, and if they are anywhere effective...

    My main is a Defender Rad/Rad with perma Hasten/AM at 50... VERY nice for PvE, but not sure how it would work on PvP.
    I have also a 50 Tank that is softcapped for positional defenses (Shield/Warmace) that could go in some action too, but I´m not sure about it.
    Red Side I was planning in use a SS/Fire Armor Brute for PvPing... Is that any good?

    Any tips would be appreciated.
  17. Ok, coming late at the thread but... Damn! Never saw this coming! I liked the Posi administration (he´s a nice guy, come on! no reason to blame him for everything!) and was never here to see Statesman´s (but after Champions seems pretty much you can blame him for everything... LOL), but... War Witch FTW!!!
    Whatever reason this was done I hope it turns out great as most expect and not bad as the doomsayers goes by...

    Now... Trading Sides? check
    Moving Tails? check
    Market Merging? check
    Just makes me wonder what´s next... Lunar base? Underwater (not unless it looks cool)? Moving hair? Getting the Base Raids back? Merging the Server Lists (not the servers, might I add) for us to play with our European friends? I just have to say dream on guys, dream on... :-)
  18. Well, if this is still being read I have a couple of questions about cannon... Not sure if they weren´t already answered but.

    The 2 books, The Web of Arachnos and The Freedom Phalanx are considered cannon? ´Cause they´re really great, honestly, and there are several characters that we have never seen in the book and would make great toons... I specially would really enjoy seeing Vambrace or Elementar.

    And the comics? There are some stories in there that made to the game (or it was the other way around, not sure), but is everything there considered cannon?

    And, finally, asking here after having already asked in the Marketing thread and not getting any answer, is it possible for us players to have access to this lore book of yours? Edit it and sell to us guys, LOTS would buy it... I believe that Virtue only would already make it worthy.

    Edit: Cannon question already answered in the Answers Thread. Sorry, my bad... But I still want my Lore Hand Book!

    P.S. What server are you on? I can help you set up / test some of this stuff. I can be really helpful if you're on Infinity. I have no one above level 23 on any other server.
    Neither do I know of any means to farm Influ AFK... And that would be a major exploit. If I knew of any I would report it to get the Bug Hunter one... ;-) Seriously, I really don´t plan doing it even on actual game time. Farming is boring when you could be doing other fun stuff. :-)

    I´m at Justice... But thanks for the offer. :-)

    Edit: I´m still a newbie in badges, only at 531 now... Still need 4 defeats badges, almost all of the PvP and Ouro ones and a few others... But I´ll get there eventually. :-)

    And they are no longer there.

    This is...irritating. Those posts were there. I'm not the only one who's mentioned them.
    Yeah, so do I... Posi said something about that too, but not in a traightforward answer... He sais beats parts sounded more like a mutant pack...
  21. Darn it, no free badges for me... *sighs* But I´m no bitter. Gratz for those who got them.
    Kind of make me want the time traveling power to jopin beta and skip it (I would not have the computer to play this by then....)
  22. Howdy all!

    Well, I come here for tips on getting these badges for my badge-hunter toon... He happens to be my main toon and played A LOT in the 18+months my account has, a Rad/Rad defender that for most of my climbing to 50 was played straight front by the side of the tank. That said I got all Debt badges real fast. LOL
    I tend to team a lot (never much a fan of soloing in MMO) and have a very active SG, so I got the SK badges pretty fast too... Not sure how it is working now with the SK changes.
    But there are some Achievement badges that are being quite a pain to gain through normal game play, that´s why I wanted some help...

    -Damage: I´ve heard of Brutes being played since the beggining of CoV that have not gained the last of these through normal game play. The last one I got was Adamant, meaning there´s still 4 to go. I currently heal myself for 270 damages each activation of Radiant Aura, so no need to keep resting. Well, I´ve learned already that AE gives you no progress in badge obtaining, and that you have to surpass your base HP for the damage to count... So how you guys work the farming for this? How to be more efficient with the time spent AFK?

    - Hold: The problem to me is that to get this I can not be activating my heal so often, so any ways of mastering it without getting killed? Any specificic enemy I should try to find? And Immobilize won´t work right?

    - Heal: Ok, Rikti and Hami Raids, plus the special Invasion events, have gotten me until the last couple... Any easier way to get those last 2? You have to keep a buddy afk with you for all that time really?

    - Influ: this will be a straight question. Farming is the ONLY answer? I´m ok with AFK farm as that is not game-play time, but Influ farming is not really my game. I´ve IO´d 2 50s with sets already with WW Influ, but regular Influ I haven´t even got to 250mill... Any tips on what to do?

    Edit: And sorry for the long post... I just wanted to keep these at one thread/post. Tough I will probably come back for questions on other badges too, specially PvP ones... :-)
  23. Well... Sunjective feedback I hope they do read at least.

    - No way in hell they can fix the seams? Or at least try to make it look a lil´more subtle between heads and torso on the organic one? If that can´t be done in time for realease could it be worked for some time after it?

    - Claws and Katana not getting any love again... Won´t even comment on Dual Pistols or Rifle. Go figure, it´s always swords anyway.
    I still say that Organic Armor claws would look AWESOME. As it is we have to work with Fury or Widow for a so-so look.

    - Monstrous Feet and Hands... Come on, that should´ve been put in the original art desings! What kind of "mutant" booster don´t even consider those? I mean, forget about Monstrous heads as those looks like will be worked on later, but those parts are also VERY limited in numbers and I believe that more used than the heads.

    Edit: Also, no option to use just the glow of Bio without the snake scales... Darn it...
  24. Techbot, just how in the world do you find these pics so quick? This one specially was hilarious...

    Rep + If you had rep on...
  25. VERY nicely done. Gratz to you and Jay, David.
    I´ll buy the pack anyway, but unless something else is coming I believe this tails should be made free because it doesn´t fit with the already existing sets and ís a very demanded tail as you said yourself...

    But very nicely done anyway. :-)
