Spot on mate - there's a LOT of things CoX\Cryptic don't get credit for - most assuredly this game is STILL fun even with all it's little annoyances. It's like the HS girlfriend you married and now 30 years later, she's saggy, baggy and she down right grates on your last nerve some days but yours it the true, deep love that lasts through all the little things.
That's why I've renewed my annual subscription every year and plan on sticking with an annual subscription. -
My account has been 3 months behind - and no matter how I've tried to prove I'm me when I talk to support (I bought the game over 3 fracking years ago NO I don't have the ORIGINAL CD KEY) - it's been stuck in limbo as 3 months behind.
This. Sucks. Mucho. -

Oh, I know. But this way the people who just skim for "red name" posts get a chance to see it.

I am listening to your ideas, but a Flashback system is simply not something we can implement in a timeframe you would all be happy with.
Instead we are looking into other options to get you the Pool B choice so level 50s don't feel gimped.

Yes, but after ED, some of us are very gun shy around Crytpic. -

Ok, sure, it would have been best if Inventions had been in the game all along and you got them as you did Story Arcs, but I don't think that should preclude the team from adding extra "stuff" to those arcs.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes and no, but no not really. When CoV launched I easily missed half of my early contacts because I ran with a group every night and outleveled the 1-20 story arcs VERY quickly.
And that sir, to be technical, blows chunks. -

ARGH! Well PLEASE PLEASE do give us a choice. Some of us didn't PL, some of us ran PUG's day in day out to level up - and missed at least one story arc's along the way!
I sincerely hope "we are looking into" becomes something along the lines of "we've implemented ..."
Thanks -
Jack Thompson's a clueless troll, the very epitome of a flamer. He best watch out the, problem with fire is it's a fickle, fickle thing.
As for the whole videogames inciting violence ... gimme a break. What about the way parents act and handle stress and anger in front of their children? What about the way children are allowed to act in public? What about movies? Music?
If parent's were parent's, children would be a lot better adjusted and have a good head on their shoulders. -
AIM+BUILDUP+Transference or FS if you have it and you hit your damage cap PDQ.
AIM+BuildUp alone are great help when soloing ...
Still I miss the days when my 50 could single-bolt grey 35's minions ...

I've never had a CTD with either CoH or CoV (not counting Beta's & TR of course) - with the release of this issue I've had 3 CTD's.
TWICE on the same GW Arc 3 mission (Rescue Doc somesuch) - where after being on the map for a good bit and taking down some PPD, I CTD. Everyone else on my team CTD's too. This was bugged and the bug report sent in.
ONCE on the Atlas SG map just as I tried to enter, this time only some part of the team CTD's. My second attempt to SG Atlas worked fine.
I've also noticed that on HUGE character body types the Onimoshi and one other chest type actually makes the upper arms (bi/tri cep area) go transparent - I'll have to retest this and take screenshots and send in the bug (John Silence/Victory/CoV). -
No worries, I've got like 25 costume change tokens on my one alt ... and I'm all out of ideas\married to the current costumes ...
Hey ... how about more costume slots -

One would assume that Haloween will run from the 18th to the 31st, if not a few days longer.

My vote would be from the 10/18 through the 11/6, give the folks w/ kids and travelling and what not time to land get in and get at least a few alts badges and the experience
But that's just one old fart in the wilderness. -

Our lead programmer has been doing nothing but fixing bugs since I7 was released. He mentioned to me the other day that he hadn't written one line of code that was only in I8. We -are- trying to get the major issues fixed, but eventually the new issue has to come out, and that gobbles up the Training Room server, and we have to button down new fixes until that Issue goes to Live

Kudos to him and whoever made\supported that decision - bravo, bravo! Encore! -

Is it poor foresight on our part to put something like this in? Probably. Will it change in the future? Doubtful

You had me until you got to that point.
It was probably poor foresight, but it's doubtful anything will change.

We are going to implement a couple changes to make this better. The early brokers will only require 3 missions and 1 heist to introduce a new contact. In addition, if a group completes a broker mission everyone on the team will get credit toward a heist that will lead to a new contact introduction. This should help keep you from leveling out of content. Just like in City of Heroes, if you start a Story Arc in City of Villains you will always be allowed to finish it—even if you outlevel it. If you miss a contact entirely, you can still Exemplar with a less experienced hero who has the correct Story Arc assigned to him or her in order to hunt down any pesky badges you may have missed.

Ugh, dudes, why not just remove the blasted caps already!? I *regulary* run teams on Victory and always in danger of out levelling my story arcs! It get's frustrating because I have some form of MMO ADD and feel that EVERY alt of mine must collect everything including, yes, souveniers!!!
Just pop that cap off and let us go our merry way, eh. -

My advice to you neophyte blasters is: use defiance on purpose until level 10, at which point debt kicks in. Then never use it again on purpose. If you get hit to within a hit point of death, and then get a blast off, well, gee, that was lucky for you. Maybe you kill the boss that almost killed you. Then a minion trips, falls on his laser rifle, which accidentally goes of and hits you for 3 points of damage. Luck goes both ways, and with Defiance, luck will be -against- you, not -with- you.

Couldn't agree with you more. Nice concept, poor execution.
Have you considered the Energy Mastery Ancilliary? PFF, Temp Invul & FoN have come in QUITE handy, especially during those times when it goes to heck in a handbasket and you're suddenly in a tight spot. Properly timed FoN can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory - just be ready to book as FoN wears off if you're not in the clear yet.
