  1. What I am about to say is a personal plea, and is in no way as a representative of Paragon Studios or other NCsoft companies.

    Please don't punish ArenaNet or the other NCsoft companies because of this closure. There are many talented, highly motivated people that have worked years to bring you fun games to play. I would ask that you judge these companies on the quality of their products, and not the actions of the owners.

    Thank you.

    It was very tough at the beginning.

    PS: I'm very sure another long time player will be revealing their civilian identity Soon™.

    SO FREAKING COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey, you still owe us an all-Scrapper i-trial on Pinnacle!
    I am glad I was able to be part of the All-Scrapper Incarnate Trials. It was proof of how open this game is; that you didn't need Tank, Healer, and DPS even in the end-game.

    I'm heading out now, but I'll be back on later to chat it up, and to hop onto Pinnacle.
  4. You wouldn't even let me FPARN my redname? Oh c'mon...

    Do you honestly believe that? This is not an attack on you or your desire to have Linux support for CoH, but it really looks like you're just putting words in their mouth.

    Try a combination that excels in different things. Go for an AoE combination. Go for something utterly indestructible. Hell, you could go for a combination that you enjoy playing for thematic reasons.
  8. Wow. Yeah that MA/Inv was my first serious try at using Invulnerability. I had a ton of fun playing that character! It was just after they had buffed Invulnerability - prior to that I didn't have much interest in the set.

    The link doesn't work by the way. When posting Data Links, make sure you don't use the Preview Post (or Edit) button. It will kill the link because it is too long. Usually I will post the Data Link and the Data Chunk, so people can get the build from either way they prefer.

    Cheers!
  9. For me, any reaction time really. I play all sorts of games on all kinds of systems and I'm very comfortable with anything from Counter-Strike to Final Fantasy Tactics.

    And yet, here you are ignoring it.

    It was possible with all of the previous "All Scrapper" events we've done before.

    We'd end up clearing the whole zone out of bloodlust.
    Which is basically what happened in said events. 8 Scrappers go in 8 different directions - all is destroyed. It was a thrill doing things like the All Scrapper STF long before Incarnate powers.

    Think of LotG 7.5%'s as a Global Bonus and the other 7.5%'s I have as Set Bonuses. Global Bonuses (like Numina Proc, etc.) as far as I know, can be stacked as much as you want and also do not interact with Set Bonuses towards the 5 stack count. Then again, most Global Bonus IOs are procs and unique at that, so there's no need for a 5 stack rule for them.

    I've got a few ideas for Succubus Kali on what I might be able to do with those 3 extra Power Slots. Hell, I've got ideas for a lot of characters!

    Shouldn't the minotaur have some cool barbarian wings?... 'cause... y'know.



    ((Note - I have no idea what 'barbarian' wings would look like. Some sort of tattered battle standard tied to them maybe, but that'd ruin the joke and make this a serious suggestion.))
    Redbull gives you wings!

    Thanks for the update!
  17. When there's a Scrapper on your team.

















    What? There's nothing to add to that. Everything got destroyed the moment the Scrapper was invited to the team.
  18. I'm not entering the contest, but my guess is that Mayuri Shiina dies! Time Manipulation wasn't enough to save her.
  19. The Results aren't in for Scrapper Battle Axe, Scrapper War Mace, or Scrapper Street Justice!

    The 15 I clicked the Search/Reserve button on were listed as taken, despite the search giving me the checkmark.

    The 5 I didn't search were given to me.

    ... I'm gonna go post this in the beta forums now.
    It is bugged at the moment, but before the latest patch this feature was working for me 100% of the time I was testing it.

    Let me say something more general: it is possible to have successful teams with unusual compositions. It's even fun.
    Completely agree. Doing the "All Scrapper" runs of various content is really fun!
  22. I think the best QoL Feature they've added to the Character Creator in I21 is the Temporary Name Reservation! If you click the Find button (magnifying glass icon by the Name text field) and it finds that the name you've picked is available, it will hold the name for you temporarily as you create your character.

    No more need to rush at character creation! Take your time, your name will still be there for you when you're done!
