I've wondered for some time now why there's no Wentworths in PI. We spend an awful lot of time there in the upper levels, especially since I19.

When you need to sell, you have to get to a zone that has a WW. That means:

• Take the ferry
• Use an O-Portal
• Take a Base Teleporter
• Use the WW teleporter (if you have it)

It seems to me that we could really use a WW in PI. In teaming scenarios, where downtime between missions seems to be a crucial factor in keeping the team together, putting a WW closer to where we're actually doing missions seems reasonable.

As Hami is my witness, I will never underestimate the cat-girls again.

Clearly, cats are martial artists.

It's not much, but here's my before-and-after attempt. New costume based on the idea that these guys are vendors, and the game provides no heroic background for them whatsoever.

Can't really say, as I seem to keep getting the same 5 tip missions over and over again.

All a DPS meter would do is create a new class system in COH. Don't want.

Don't have X DPS or higher? Not allowed on teams.
Can't maintain X DPS? Kicked.

Sorry, seen it too many times in other games, and don't want anything to do with it.

As for knowing who's pulling their weight on a team, that shuold be fairly obvious with decent leadership. Furthermore, if you let everyone do their jobs, and you haven't set the difficulty too high, everyone will be pulling their own weight.

Sure, there are leechers. But they're so few and far between as to be laughable. Deal with them on a one-by-one basis and move on.

Plasma Fury (50 Fire/Fire Blaster): "Need End!"
American Argonaut (50 WP/SS Tank): "I admit it: I'm overpowered."
Knockabout Nick (Energy/Energy Blaster): "Sorry about that!"
Sandstorm (Earth/Storm Controller): "Rez please!"

I'm very excited about it.

I've been around for a long time and still haven't done the STF or a couple of the other major task forces that will drop shards, and all because folks were doing them as speed runs. Now that folks are taking their time, I'm really looking forward to doing them, and enjoying the experience.

Of course, the drops will help.

I only have two fifties (a blaster and a tank). The tank is the main badge toon, and I'm really looking forward to getting him slotted with his Incarnate components, so I have to learn to adjust my play style a bit. (My own stupidity there--I still play a tank like it's my job to herd the map, and you just can't do that with twenty Mastermind pets running around.) The Blaster will probably beat him to the slot--it's fairly easy for him to join a team and just do his job.

I have other toons who are getting to 50 that I am somewhat meh about. I'm not sure how I feel about a semi-deific Dual Pistols blaster. (Thoroughly a role-playing issue.) On the other hand, an earth/storm controller with godlike power will be something to see.

Then, of course, I'm looking forward to building a whole new tank from scratch who can actually have enough endurance to run toggles at lower levels. I'm actually twitterpated about that.

But shards first, new toons later.

Oddly, that option is disabled.

EDIT: Never mind, found the problem. You have to right click the character in the right-hand panes, not the big list on the left.

Thanks for the help, WN!

I'm trying to get my arc to include a named boss. I want him saved for the end of the arc, and so here's what I've done:

• I have two separate custom villain groups. One group is called "The Tempted", and the other is "Tempted Bosses."
• The named boss is in the "Tempted Bosses" group. He has a unique look and name.
• In the missions, I have set the enemy group to "The Tempted."
• I put a Defeat Boss mission objective in the last mission, and set the enemy to Amron the Damned from the "Tempted Bosses" group.

Here's where things get weird. I see Amron showing up in normal mob groups and patrols as a regular boss. I can't figure out how to exclude him from normal mob groups so that he only shows up in the final encounter. Since defeating him is required to complete the mission, it makes it difficult to figure out which Amron is the one you have to defeat.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Every time you needed to run to the department of Motor Vehicles, or the bank, or get to the emergency room, a city-wide event would occur that made it absolutely impossible for you to get anything practical accomplished.

Doubtful.

More desirable: 2xp weekend. (More for the inf & prestige than xp, tho.)

Personally, I would *love* to see both weather and seasonal changes, but not at the expense of a revamp of the older zones and new missions. Weather would be a "new shiny" whose high sheen would probably dull pretty quickly, but I think it's fantastic for immersion. But that's my personal opinion.

What would be cool is if we had some sort of freakish weather event where the zone was entirely covered in low-lying clouds, with lots of lightening, thunderous booms and whatnot. And, descending from those clouds are massive, monstrous tentacles just like Lusca's, which attempt to snatch people off the street to consume them. Your mission? Beat the creatures back into submission.

If you design the creatures the right way, you could have several of them scattered across the zone, so everyone's not congested in one place (reducing assault & battery on our framerates). The tentacles should reach the ground (to get to their victims), but you should be able to make out massive mouths and bodies in the cloud cover. As an optional task, award a badge for leading an assault on the body and defeating the creature overhead, but as an alternative, simply take out its tentacles to make it flee.

That's just my idea.
