Well, here's hoping we can get a big reveal sometime later this week - though frankly if I had to pick between that and cracking open the Lore Bible one last time, I can leave this detail hanging.

Also, Arcanaville - my fiancee is now hooked on the webcomic in your signature. I'm not going to get my laptop back for a couple of days now, but that means I get to keep my desktop, so it all works out for me.

My main and namesake checks in at 6607 hours - 275 days and change.

The next closest, for comparison, was my "villain main" until I got bored redside and brought her over to the hero side of things. She breaks the charts at a whopping 661 hours. There are a couple others in the 400-hour range, and everything else doesn't come close to that.

Got to work this afternoon (I work evenings), only to have a coworker ask me quietly if I still played this game. I got a link to the Kotaku article about this when I answered yes.

It has been a rough shift - and I know what I'll be doing when I get home.

Pando's attached to Lineage 2 - presumably for updates, since it looks like P2P software. To my knowledge, it's not anything that is used by CoH.

Whoever Alan Deslock sent you to (Kalinda or Burke) will have your cape and aura missions. If you didn't run their lowbie story arc, you may need to run that before the cape mission will show up.

Did you get a drop after you defeated Clamor?
Because I did not get any other drop at the end of that TF, so I figured it had to come from the mission.

[/ QUOTE ]

That was the drop from defeating Clamor...I got no drop at all for TF completion a few minutes later.

[ QUOTE ]
Scirocco's Dervish: Dam/Acc/End from Citadel TF just now.

[/ QUOTE ]

Interesting, but I have to contest that.

Scirocco's Dervish: Dam/Acc/End from AV defeat

AV defeated: Clamor, on Sister Psyche TF. AV defeat was NOT simultaneous with mission completion. We had a hostage to free in a group behind the AV yet.

...silly useless temp power...

[/ QUOTE ]

Crey Pistol is the most uber power in the game. People just don't know how to maximize its potential.

[/ QUOTE ]

Looking good. Obviously. That power-spray-bottle and the whole pistol animation is pretty cool.

It's also good for a couple dozen lines of fake-n00b spam at Hami raids.

All I want to know is where Positron's going to show up....

[/ QUOTE ]

He'll be late. He has to take Synapse, y'know...and ever since the world found out that he's (Synapse, I mean) a tool, well, the guy just doesn't want to go do the heroing thing anymore.

7pm Central? YES! Perfect timing with my getting home!

...no more patches, though. Please?

Oh, and happy birthday, Athyna.

Aye, it's optional.

Though...if a villain does the first mission in Siren's Call (1-hour timed, plant 2 bombs in Longbow base), you earn a Gladiator for your efforts. Not sure about the hero's side of things.

Let me be the first to say: [censored]???

[/ QUOTE ]

Beat me by a couple minutes, as I spent a few minutes staring at this thinking "Wha....?" before I was distracted by a lawnmower outside.

[ QUOTE ]
Personally, I think he's sitting somewhere glued to a chair. We'll probably hear from him soon.

[/ QUOTE ]

I always knew Juan was evil....

I mean, come on. He's standing on a rooftop guarded by Clockwork.

Evil, I tell you.

P.S. This thread slipped down to page 3. Bad people!

Excellent resource, in both forms. And now...the last few tiny bits that fell through the cracks.

In "Extras", you've misspelled Firebase Sulu. Now, don't get me wrong, Hikaru was a wonderful navigator, but he doesn't have his own Firebase. Or a badge named after said Firebase.

In Task Forces and Accolades:
-Levels for the Statesman Star Accolade show 24-33, should be 34-43.
-Destroyer of Strength TF: Sarah Moore's. Missing an apostrophe.

Yes, your original link is now dead. Filename was changed from badges.pdf to badges_a.pdf and badges_z.pdf, so it isn't recognizing it anymore.

Oh yeah...the Praesidium GuildPortal site is pretty cool. Nice job on that. If I could e-mail pie, I would do so.

well in my experience GMs in l2 are bots.. mostly...
but then i've never seen a GM in CoH

[/ QUOTE ]

You've got it backwards. All the L2 GM's are outsourced to India, and all the CoH GM's are police drones. After seeing my third one (all for needed-item-glitched-into-wall issues), I can definitely say they're all the same.

Vyvv, from someone who is slowly shifting to L2 from CoH (I'm sorry! I tried to fight its call...but...the swords...so shiny...can't...resist...), I'm glad that the QA lead position is filled by someone I know to be more than competent.

This is my nominee for best thread ever.

Not only is it *amazingly* impressive to necro something on a board as crazy as this one that's 5 months old, but it also generated an "I agree" response at that point.

I think we need to keep it alive indefinately at this point, just for history's sake....

[/ QUOTE ]

I could direct you to a thread where Cuppa posted about the manual update coming with Issue 3, if you like...y'all are more than welcome to necro that one too. It's even six months old, just like this one.

Here be the link!

It's eight. Numina was created by the players in a contest. I think the current dispute is whether Ms. Liberty or the Back Alley Brawler is missing person from that list. Personally, I favor the latter, for a couple reasons. Ms. Liberty is the founder of Freedom Corps (always wondered why she's in Atlas, when her HQ is in Galaxy), and BAB is in the cinematics released to promote the games, implying he has earned Statesman's trust.

I've got a theory about why they're where they are, but that's not the point of this thread.

I figured he had the same powers as Anti-Matter... or the opposite powers of Anti-Matter.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sarcasm, my friend. He was being sarcastic.

Yes, I imagine the powers are similar to those of Anti-Matter. Though like the other comment stated, he does have the powers of Super-Ignore and Super-Annoy.

My completely random suggestion...herd Freakshow. The Dreck AV mission is offered by Unai in the 45-50 range. Get yourself energy resistance and a nice electric or energy blaster (Freaks are weak to energy damage), and go to town. XP is definitely not bad, and I found it to be quite a bit more fun than wolves, since the scenery actually changed. No offense, but that rock gets boring. In the 40-44 range, you've got the Bile AV mission, which is (IMO) an even better map, and far larger than the wolf map.

What I find amusing...is that a large part of Protector is actually blaming a single person for getting a timer added. Personally, I find this hillarious.

I know that I am going to seem like an idiot for asking this question. I have seen lol and fotm a lot. What do they mean?

[/ QUOTE ]

"lol" = laughing, sort of. "fotm" is "Flavor of the Month", or the powergamer's current uber-build. Very often whacked repeatedly with a nerf bat when the next issue goes live.

[ QUOTE ]
I have a question. Would my character called Fan-Boy who looks like Superman and his alternate costumes look like Batman and the Hulk against the Terms of Service? He really isnt supposed to be them, just a guy dressed like them. I hope he isn't because I like him a lot.

It's not much of a stretch (if at all) to say that yes, this may well violate the EULA/ToS.

EDIT (somebody beat me to it): I won't claim I'm right...but from what I've found the devs have grounds to force you to change your character, or delete it, if they choose. I imagine it all depends on how this lawsuit works out.
