    ah, found it

    Can't do one without the other (even though we do hate villains), and they're both behind Pools powers in the queue.

    That is because he spawns at the front

    You just made a new character, and zoned into Atlas, Galaxy, Mercy, or the tutorial. What do you do now?
    Most of what you describe, I do in the tutorial.

    After the tutorial, I now:

    Set my SSK settings to +50, -25
    Grab my other account, transfer 1 mil inf and a set of Halloween salvage
    Hit the base
    Turn in the salvage
    Hit the low level costume shop
    Log off (start working on that day job)

    I somewhat understand that, but, there are already test server specific things. The market, and Super Groups on Test server do not reset when a new build is published. I think if they wanted to allow a separate NPC to let you level instantly, they would do it. They just don't.

    No you wouldn't. It's already in the game, it just costs an extra $15 a month. If it were that exploitable, people would already be exploiting it.
    I am an evil exploiter. Every character that I create gets at least 1mil inf and a set of costume salvage as soon as they finish the tutorial. That said, I wouldn't mind having an option such as this.
  6. I find that when I am reaching burnout levels, playing the other side helps break the monotony.


    I too dabble in that other Cryptic MMO as a change of pace on occasion.

Every single time you log into the game, I am going to say Hi to you within like 1 second. Seriously... I am going to play the game with my global handle window open so when I see you log in, I am going to say Hi. Each and every time! You will feel so special when this happeneds everyday for weeks at a time! You will feel even more special after you take a few weeks or even months off from the game! And when you come back here I will be! Waiting to say Hi to you!

    And after I say Hi to you, I want you to say Hi back... No pressure or anything, just yanno... Since I am saying Hi to you, You should say Hi back! Your not obligated or anything... just yanno... I am waiting for you to log in everyday so I can say Hi to you, it would be nice if you said Hi back.

    When I say hi to you, and then you say nothing back... is it because your AFK? I mean why do you log in if your not going to be sitting there waiting for me to say Hi to you. I mean you know I am going to say it. So be there! For me when you log in.

    After we say Hi, I am going to ask you questions about stuff you may or may not want to chat about... Like other games... or when you are going to Farm/PL again. Yanno... Normal stuff people talk about. And instead of you blowing me off!!!! Now, since we are laying out the rules to our friendship... You have to respond. And not just respond... You have to respond in a nice friendly way with lots of ! So that I know your happy with me, since I am your best friend on the internet.

    Wait! Don't walk away yet! There is something else I want to add. Just one more thing. It's no biggy... Ya. Don't send tells to other people when you are talking to me in tells. I know your doing that sometimes because you say "mt" or something that just doesnt make any sense to me at all. Like when I was asking what you are doing for Double Exp... and you replied, "oh he's upstairs making a cake"... What did that have to do with what you are doing during double exp? You were obviously talking to someone else...

    One more thing, I swear I won't add any more rules after this. I swear! this is the very last one. And then we can be best internet friends ever. Stop going on /Hide. I know you are online sometimes but your name isn't glowing on my friends list. Like when you make new characters and you must immediately put them on hide... Are you trying to avoid me? We are best friends right? Anywho I just wanted to ask you nicely to not go on hide anymore, and especially not during double exp weekends anymore. I mean come on... We both know your going to play the whole weekend...

    Anyways TTYL BFF!!!
    Ack!

    I had people like that on my Global when I was on Freedom. One or two missions together, global friend invite (I'm a softie), and poof insta daily tell spam.
  8. I really like it. I haven't had many opportunities to do it yet, but the few times that I have, I enjoyed.

    Nice Job, Devs.

    I really like the new wrinkles added to the Halloween event. It's pretty cool!

    Kudos!

    I am sick of the stupid comments people make in them. If the star system had to go, this has to go with extreme violence.
    /agreed.

    I am all for removing the cloak of anonymity.

    I would like the Devs to serioulsy review this option because i have been wanting this for years now.

    Please provide feedback and suggestions as the more we ask, beg and rebel for change to more apt it is to occur.



    What if you could use the existing "choose build" option to be allowed to change your secondary **OR** primary powerset only. (one or the other, not both :P )

    Perhaps it could be incorporated into a "perk" upgrade, like the magic, wedding, science ect perks.

    Maybe after the purchase a new contact could be placed on the map to do a powerswap of secondary powers, maybe pending a mission arc of some sort.

    I Think it is penalty enough to loose all your Slotting Hancers especially if you have IO's.

    I would buy it even if the Perk Upgrade cost $15.00!

    After all you are only able to choose 2 builds so exploits could only go so far, if at all.


    Perhaps this could become unlockable content at a certain lvl, like 25, 30, 40, or yet another Perk of becoming lvl 50.

    I think it would be cool to be able to get to 50 and have the chance to "Master" different powersets. It would add to the enjoyment of getting and playing my 50's.


    **New Contact Dialog Box at 50** Congrats your character has reached lvl 50, a new contact is now available to further your abilities. Arc content and contact info text inserted into pop up tab.


    Like i said i would be happy to even pay for such an option. This idea could rake in yet more cash, or much needed cash because it seems that not only is the content lacking at 50 but players are becoming.....distant from COX more and more.

    Please incorporate this!!!
    I can't see it happening.
  14. For some reason, I cannot access the dropstats site at the moment, but I will say that I would not have posted anything had it not been for a trend that I was noticing. I am now going to log chat and use that drop rate calculation thingy, because my drops have been few and far between as of late. I think it's borked, but have no data to back it up. I will now collect the data.

    Quote:
    Both recipes and salvage are very close to the expected rates.
    All collected since the drop rate 'fix' went live
    Is the data you collected solo or teamed? Regular missions, Street Sweeping or TF/SF?
  15. Last night I ran an RSF and came away with zero recipes for the entire SF. We then ran a MOBSF in which we killed every flippin ambush in the final room. I got one recharge reduction recipe. I understand that drops are spread out over the team, but one common recipe across two strike forces is a little low I would say.
  16. The Seer Marino arc has been doing this forever. The others are new to me. It wouldn't be much of a problem if it didn't prevent you from starting arcs(especially Patron) later.
  17. Bumpity bumpage.

    Are we gonna farm EoE this round or pass?
  18. Personally, I think the next hero Epic should be Longbow, and the next Villains epic should be Arachnoids. That way everyone could be frustrated equally.

    That about sums it up for me
  20. We had the same issue last night on an ITF. It was amusing when it was showing the Blaster on the team as being in Cap. The novelty wore off quickly.

    Note 3: Obviously change Black Dwarf to White Dwarf, and Dark Nova to Bright Nova if you're a Peacebringer.

    Note 4: You can also swap the secondary and tertiary trays: gototrayalt <#> and gototrayalt2 <#> should work for those.

    Note 5: You can drop the powexectoggleon part for the human macro if you don't use the shields. I can't see a reason not to use them, so switching on my Smash/Lethal shield when out of other forms is helpful.

    Bonus: /macro costume "cce 1 <ccemote>$$s <witty saying here>"
    Thank you!

    All worked perfectly. I owe you one.
