  1. I can't wait for I19...I have tons of respecs to do, plus with the new ranged animations, I have some slight character tweaking to do. There have been some characters that haven't felt right lately, but I think shooting sonic beams from my hands or having a fully optic blast type character will help
  2. Thanks everyone for coming out! It was a blast and there were a TON of great costumes there. Here are the screenshots of the winners:


    Each honorable mention recieved a Numina Proc!


    1st Place: 600 Million Influence and a Costume Code
    2nd Place: 400 Million Influence and a Costume Code
    3rd Place: 200 Million Influence and a Costume Code

    The costume codes will be sent out as soon as they are provided. Again, thanks for all the support. Omega Factor plans to have another contest again soon
  3. Don't forget, costume contest is tonight, Saturday, at 8pm EST, on Pinnacle in Pocket D!

  4. Omega Factor is hosting a Costume Contest on Saturday, October 9th at 8:00pm EST to celebrate our entry into the Top 5 Supergroups on Pinnacle. There is no theme to this contest, just bring whatever you think is your most well designed costume. We'll be having it in Pocket D so all characters from any alignment can take place, even Praetorians. And it will be on Pinnacle because that is our home, but people from any server can enter, even on Level 1's!

    What: Costume Contest!
    When: Saturday, Oct. 9th at 8pm EST
    Where: Pocket D on Pinnacle Server

    1st Place: 600 Million Influence and a Costume Code
    2nd Place: 400 Million Influence and a Costume Code
    3rd Place: 200 Million Influence and a Costume Code

    If there is ample interest, we might be handing out rare IO's for honorable mentions.

    I've already posted this on the appropriate threads, just wanted to repost it here so more people can see, and since the contest is tomorrow night. Hope to see a lot of you there!

    Don't even joke about that!

    Bless you, Ocho. I feel better already!
  7. I'm scurred. Should I be scurred? Can I have a hug?!

    That's a neat idea. Do you call them anything specific, or just call them by their game name?

I feel the need to fix up all of my characters, yes, but the feeling that I couldn't be arsed is significantly stronger
    I'll have to try that. Of course, when I feel lazy, I just wanna play CoH, but then the characters will need to sell or respec or something and I'll feel guilty and the cycle continues, lol. I'm just glad that it seems I'll be busy in this game for a very very long time.
  12. Unfortunately, I have a mild OCD that demands characters are maintenced. It keeps me VERY busy...
  13. I've always wanted to name my imps or other pets like Masterminds can. I constantly refer to them by the names I give them, and wondered if anyone else did this. Here are some examples.

    Fire Imps - Sasha, Babbette, Francois
    Dark Servant - Mr. Fuzzykins
    Animated Stone - Crapface
    Jack Frost - Well...Jack...

    I even refer to pet type things that can't be targetted, like
    Lightning Storm - Nimbus
    Tornado - Swirly
    Spirit Shark/Spirit Shark Jaws - Bruce
    School of Sharks - School of Bruces (or Bruci)

    My whole supergroup has started to use these terms, and we're even considering making Bruce our mascot. Just an example of how I keep the game personalized, even if it's only in my own mind.
  14. Just slot it in Health and fogettaboutit!

    That is so true. I usually just power level my toons from 1-22 or so, but now I can actually play them without wanting to bang my head against a wall. And with having the 60 month badge and Ninja Run, now I won't HAVE to take any power before ones I want. WOOT!
  17. I'm even going to have to respec my level 6's, because I generally take swift or hurdle ASAP just to get it out of the way. But I am SO looking forward to running low level arcs even more without having to rest or not run toggles. So much stuff to look forward to.
  18. but when I19 comes out, I'm going to be stuck in MIDs and the respec screen for weeks! Not to mention redoing all my ranged attack poses, Task Forces, Alpha slots on like 20 level 50's, getting my badger into Praetoria, who isn't even near finished getting her villain badges...never ending I tells ya!

    Lol, too funny.

    I didn't think about Illusion Control. That would be quite effective as well.
  21. I think the following could really get to him.

    Radiation Blast/Emission
    Sonics
    Psychic Blast
    Mind Control
    Devices (Works for Batman)

    Ambush Magnet

    Does this ever happen to you? You're doing a task force or some missions, and out of no where an ambush comes. It ignores the mission leader, goes past the tanker and the scrapper, and slaps you right in the face with a missile? This happens to me constantly, no matter what toon I am. It's become a funny joke in our SG that if I'm on the team, I'll get the ambush. Sometimes I even get other team's ambushes, like lvl 50 Malta suddenly blasting my lvl 24 blaster in Talos. Oh, I must have been next to their target, but alas, I am alone!

    Anyways, just thought I'd see if this happens to anyone else.

  24. 1. Male

    2. Defenders because I like to save people.

    3. Usually blueside.

    4. The newer ones by far, the ones with your clones and Praetoria ones. So well written and they make me feel like I'm making a difference.

    5. I'm a huge comic fan, and this lets me bring my ideas to life. Plus I have a fantastic SG.

    6. I used to play some WoW, and I've tried other MMO's, but CoH is where I remain.

    7. Since Beta 2004.

    8. I have over 80 alts, average range is late 20's, and i have 19 level 50's.

    9. I've only began using set bonuses, but they make a world of difference. Only use them once I'm 50 though. And my difficulty level varies based on character I'm playing and team makeup.
