  1. This looks as bad as Green Lantern... getting the same vibe...

    In this movie instead of his motivation causing Uncle Ben's death and learning hard "With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility."

    Peter instead will be a hero because of some dark secret of his CIA parents... yeah...

    The actor looks 30 years old and trying to be 16? Not working for me.

    Lizard looks horrible.

    This is not looking good. More and more I see. More and more I read. This movie is going to bomb.
  2. The new download recently has made many player's video cards obsolete even though before they were fully supported.

    This is discussed in the Bugs and Technologies section. Many people including yours Trolly cannot access the game well enough to play. My new Video Card is in the mail.

    Now saying that, there are some awesome new Beta stuff going on that has split people trying out like the new Incarnate and new powers up the yin yang. New costume pieces etc.

    That is taking away people as well.

    The evil of Schrim and a rival new MMO based on a popular movie franchise has had us drop people who are normally on.

    I personally hate Incarnate, because I hate Farming and Grinding, the new Zone Change, I hope will make it more fun for me.

  4. How much you want to bet that the missing Paragon Points people have been mentioning are going to appear around Black Friday?
  5. Went to his website and he has a cool color design up. I love the art but obviously he does not know copyright law.

    The artist is violating copyright law by posting this on his site but DC/WB usually do not have an issue as long as the person is not profiting by selling the work.

    The artist is now selling limited prints for $40 and the artist does not own the rights to the characters the artist is using...

    DC/WB will probably stop the artist sales and remove the artist's site at some kind because of copyright infringement.

    Sad really this is really good work and DC should hire him but they probably now will shut him down.
  6. My theory is this we will get our Paragon Points when their major product out on the Market.

    I agree completely I did not get my September points until after StJ came out and right around the Halloween set.

    I wait for October which I thought according to their system I would have received after Nov 12th because of their post from last month and the ticket I received from October over my points.

    Or
    I think this is a product thing. The big release for November did not happen (it is not the new Non Combat Pet: German Shepard).

    After the Halloween Costume ended which was Nov 18th, Friday and the Pilgrim Hat rumored to be coming out would be out for Thanksgiving and a costume set Gunslinger as Titan Weapons are still rumored to be in the playtesting stage now, but I think the Paragon Freedom Convention is interfering with their plans.

    I honestly do not think they have the infrastructure for this new Pay as Play System for Freedom completely completed yet.
  7. Most people have an issue with the price of the German Shepard not that it is something being sold. There have been several things I have not been interested in and things I have been.

    As Z said not everything is going to be for everyone. Which I think we all agree it is the price of the German Shepard and how the Paragon Market has been set.

    It is the price from people I have talked to on 3 servers not the idea of the dog.

    I can see this being cool with a lower price and a different animal from the people I have talked too. People are not against the idea of the Non Combat Pet but the price. PRICE.

    Even here in this thread it is the biggest complaint. But this is a feed back thread does not mean all the feedback on the item will be what the company wants to hear but they should be listening.

    We the players want this to work as much as the Devs.

    The only reason to buy a dog pet is if it actually does something.

    1. Attacks bad guys on command.
    2. Fears bad guys by barking at them.
    3. Jumps on target and knocks them down.
    4. Takes a leak on target's leg on command.
    5. I can throw a ball/frisbee/cat and it retrieves it.
    6. It can pull my fallen body out of agro range when I get taken down. (Hey Rin Tin Tin could)
    7. Barks at hidden/stealthed enemies and makes them reveal.

    Nice 4 leg rig though. Seriously this is like releasing a single passenger car with a top speed of 10 mph when what the customer is looking for is at least a mini-van which will go 65-75 mph and carry a soccer team.
    If it did something like that other than follow and not just look cute following you around it might be worth the 500 Paragon Points, but it is not worth the 500 Paragon Points.

    By saying this is 500 Paragon Points they are saying the Original Vet Non Combat Pets are worth 500 Paragon Points. Does that make sense? Not to me.

    It is 100 Paragon Points more than a Costume Set. It 100 Paragon Points less than the Rocket Board, which carries you around and helps you in the game.

    Maybe I don't understand why it is 500 Paragon Points for something that is just decorative. That does nothing that you cannot even customize in the coloring as well. It just is. *scratches head* There are a lot of things sold I do not like and I have never commented on but the price is too high for a decorative accessory. It is too high of a price based on what is already established in the Market and it is a head scratcher on the price.

    Since we are asked to discuss this that is what even some naysers are trying to do.

    Shhhh don't say that... they will post their weird confusing excuse again with why the dog is 500 points for doing nothing... shhh...

    Seriously disappointing. Where is the Pilgrim Hat?

    No I will see my points When Titan Powers, Gunslinger Set and Pilgrim Hat come out Thursday or next week.
  10. Anyone else notice this Non Combat Pet: German Shepard? 500 Paragon Points for it?

    Huh? That seemed to have been added to this patch... or I missed it before. A little pricey for a decoration.
  11. You did something for Bases... Wow... holy who are you people?

    Do you know my wife will be happy over this? HAPPY even with no new textures.

Definitely don't think that happened last year. Also, still upset for 3Mile even though he was late to the judging, but not by much, it's not like Triumph's population is overwhelming like Freedom; so that was a bit harsh to not include him I thought. Especially because he's one of the few of us who really love making characters and costumes.

    Regardless of all that... hoping the necessary changes have been made to improve upon the rules and judging for this contest, and looking forward to see what everyone brings this Saturday. Good luck everyone.
    Wow I can make it this year! Last Year I was not able to participate because the time they had stunk.

    Glad they are going it early.

    Oh and Kay you are going down!!! MU-HA-HA-HA-HA!

    Seriously looking forward to completing against you or Mag not sure which toon I will enter. Hopefully one of the four of us does well this year.
    I am kind of sad they are not seperating Hero and Villain.

Cussing players for asking questions, berating people for asking for a farm or team, cracking on costumes, names, etc, etc. Folks this is plain and down right the most foolish bunch of garbage I've ever heard. We all pay our fifteen bucks to play the game and to play on this server. If you don't like someone that you don't know from the next man (unless you actually do) then stop being rude and quit giving folks a hard time for no reason. This is not that special of a server at all folks, it really isn't. Sure you pay to play on it whoop-tee-doo, does that make you entitled or special? Mmm sorry but no, it doesn't at all. I myself have personally not encountered any of this but I'm just taking a stand for those that are. Enough of the foolishness folks. Its just a game and if you weren't aware, everything we do in this game is recorded so I'd hate to hear someone got banned for being reported because it can and it will happen.
    Been on Exalted since it began not once have I seen any of this so-called behavior. Every time I asked a Question, I get help quickly and when people ask a Question on the Help Channel in between all the people talking they are answered quickly with no attitude.

    I have never once seen any attitude or elitist behavior at all. You said you did not see it yourself. If you have not seen any of this so-called issue yourself, why are you making a stand for people that "claim" this is happening. If you have seen it yourself then maybe you can give us examples.

    So far Help and all the Exalted Player Made Chats have been really friendly.

    I am sure a small group might be gruff and jerks but never when I am on. Never in a team I have been on. Never anyone I talked to. Same with my wife, Sidhe Blade. Never in any chat channel in the game.

    I'm initially from Union and it's an unwritten rule that you don't use this channel unless asking for help about an issue (not help to level etc).

    Seems this is a bad habbit that some players on Exaulted seem to be carrying on.... Where did this trend come from!?
    It is all over the place not just Exalted but yeah very annoying. Exalted has Channels for this that are not help.

    Instead a lot of people spamming about things I care not about. I removed the HELP channel from my toons because of it.
  15. My issue with all the pieces that they held back, the high collars, hat, back piece etc makes to me no sense for signature groups. For signature characters such as Statesman, Manticore, Lord Recluse, Ghost Widow, Noble Savage etc. makes perfect sense to me.

    With missing some of these pieces being able to customize AE Archvillains for COT for our missions they look like they are lacking. Making my big boss he does not look like a head villain or power broker of the COT.

    This idea of keeping "unique" pieces for signature groups when it is some of those "unique" signature group pieces that help our costume designs and AE missions. What is so wrong with giving us as much as possible?

    The reasoning given by Positron (other than the graphic and clipping issues) sounds like old school MMO thinking belonging to our competitors and not COH.

    The big thing about CoH is our ability to create Character Costume Creation better than any MMO. No game has this kind of control and those that try have fallen short compared to CoH here. Yet the thought process is to keep also "unique" items sounds like something our competitors would say.

    Now for the Signature Characters of the game, that makes sense like Statesman, Manticore, Lord Recluse, Ghost Widow, Noble Savage etc. but I do not see it for a signature group like CoT, where with our VEATs for instance we can make a character look like an Arachnos Agent.

    And with Mission Creation as well that we have with AE it is surprising hearing this. We don't just play but can create in this wonderful world that has been going strong for 7 years.

    Someone mentioned we would pay CoT1 and CoT2 to get these slots. That poster is right. Talking to a lot of people I know online on our chat channel we all do not understand why CoH is thinking this way.

    What is funny is talking to all my friends about this even those that play other MMOs many of them would love to make characters that look like they belong to signature groups but no one allows them to do that. It does not cheapen the signature it is because we LOVE the signature group, it is like playing an evil race in D&D pen & Paper game or the Sabbat in a V:TM Pen & Paper Game.

    Being allowed to build a character linked to a signature group especially the Villain side may help people playing on that side. I can see SGs that already exist and some in the future that are all about branches of those Signature Groups. Look at the VEATs when we finally got to play them we have seen a string of VEAT SGs on every server. Not just because of the class (many require if you are not a VEAT to at least have the Signature Arachnos Helmets to be on one of your characters. I could see the same with CoT if the pack was done better and talking to people playing the last few days a I know a bunch of people who think that way.

    CoT Costume Set could have set a new standard here not just CoH but MMOs in general.

    Yes, I own it and I am using it not as much as I was hoping.

  18. Sadly my request for the giant ticking clock chest piece still has not been made!!!

    How are you suppose to make a Wacked Out Gangsta Barbarian Rapper Legend without a giant ticking clock chest piece?!

    Those Devs... I swear!
  19. Congrats man. As a father who also had a child born recently (9 months ago on Dec 18th), I can say thank you for helping repopulate the pantless server 9 mos at a time.

    I am sure Sidhe Blade will be on shortly to say her congrats as well.

    No one was using it much so the Devs decided it gets attacked by the Shivan and is now the new place our new character start from.

    Now I heard from the BBC (Base Builders Community) they were told not to remove their Galaxy City beacons even though as of i21 Galaxy City is a non player zone. That if they did later on it would be harder on them with the beacon or something like that that Galaxy City or whatever the new name will be may be back in a later issue. My wife Sidhe Blade who is in the BBC was reading me the post 2 weeks ago.

    Now we can go back to Galaxy City to do the old missions in Ouroborus which we now can get at level 14 as of i21.

    Sad to see Galaxy City go but it was mostly an unused zone even the Devs ignored it with storylines and such. When we are sent out of our Zones to another Zone rarely was Galaxy City chosen it was Atlas Park. Atlas Park had all the cool stuff from a Wentsworth, Sewers and where we establish and pay our SG money. Galaxy City had just Wolfe who is moved to guess where? Atlas Park.

    Now I am curious what is going to happen to BaB but I am thinking he is going to die. Someone is suppose to die and BaB is my primary choice.

    Exalted?

    Yep actually I am but this is because several friends of both myself and my wife from several other servers want to use Exalted this new "virgin" server to create a SG we can all be apart of at the same time.
  24. On September 11th, 10 years ago...

    I had just started my two week vacation. I have a rather well known fear of heights and flying that my friends have tortured me with for years.

    I wake up going to pack later for my trip, I jump on my computer to log in on my chat game New Bremen. My Trillian logs on and I get bombarded by IMs in both Trillian and New Bremen. People are happy I am alive. People are telling me that a plane hit one of the Two Towers.

    I of course think this is a massive practical joke. Everyone knew I was worried about flying to see my family some I had not seen in over 15 years. I tell them they are joking and one of them gives me a URL directly to the CNN feed.

    Shocked... I look over at my roommate playing a MMO not CoH and I am scrambling to find the remote control. I tell him, he thinks I am pulling a joke until the TV is on as we see footage of the first plane crash on TV.

    I run to my roommate who was sleeping wake him up telling him what was going on. He thought I was pulling a practical joke as well, he is ex-military having served in both Desert Storm and other areas. He did not believe me until I turned on the TV to show him.

    We watched in horror as live or tape delay we saw the second plane hit the Two Towers. We were addicted. Then we got calls from people asking me if I was on any of the planes.

    My flight was actually for 9/12 my friends got the day wrong but who can blame them for what happened? Panic was in the air.

    I obviously did not make it to see my family until November from what happened. I was luckily able to cancel my vacation and go back to work and got my 2 weeks back which I used later on.

    United of course gave me a voucher and number that I could reschedule my flight since I was in these certain dates.

    So at the end of September, I reschedule my flight for November.

    I called up with my voucher and special number in hand. To talk to this customer service rep and get my free flight. Well the woman on the phone was angry with me. I am in a good mood, I had a good day that day.

    I tell her my name and she said without wanting to listen to my special voucher code. That I had to pay full price and I did not get a free flight from United. I had the paperwork in my hand. According to her I was scheduled to fly out not in the date 9/12 but 9/19. United tried to reschedule me and many others but a lot of airports took a long time to get reopened with the new security measures, however, since my Original Date was 9/12 that is what my paperwork said and the rescheduled date was not my original date so it did not matter.

    I calmly tell the lady this on the phone. I mean I really kept my cool over this idiot. I tell her my voucher code she refuses to hear it. I told her this is a special voucher from United I need to give you the code. She refused again was yelling, I mean yelling to me on the phone lecturing me how we all were effected my 9/11. She was so loud my roommate heard her on the phone as I pulled it away. The woman was not rational. I could not believe I was calm and I tell her listen just put in the code and you will see what is going on.

    Well all of a sudden the phone goes silent then I get hold music. I am looking at my roommate wondering what was up. I then had a new person on she said she was the Supervisor on the floor and she was doing a QC check when this was going on. She evidently looked me up and I was up for the free voucher. She said sorry to me over this and that United does not treat their customers like this. That the individual I talked to has been taken care of. (I am hearing yelling on background which I think was you cannot fire me!, I suspect the supervisor had to call security before she was fired so she could be removed quickly.)

    She upgraded my flight seat to 1st Class and gave me the number of her boss a Vice President in United if I had any issues or changes needed to be done call his office and he will deal with it personally because of how I was treated.

    With missing my original flight although minor compared to what happened. I missed a surprise birthday party where all my family including extended where there. It was a planned family reunion. First we had in over 20 years.
