  1. You were renting an MMO game. All of them close eventually.
  2. Seriously? It's a game. Also, an MMO. You are renting it.


    I do feel really bad for the devs, as this appears to have happened without warning. I hope you all get great jobs quickly.
  3. The Shining Stars questlines are my favorite part of the game. I really wish they lasted longer.

    I'm talking about a very specific and sometimes vocal group. It may not be a large group, but (generic) you always know where to find them, so it seems like there is more of them than there actually is.
    Unfortunately, these types of people infest MMO's. I wish they would drop the game.

    Haha! So true.
  6. All's I can say is that I hope every copyright lawyer in the world has a horrible accident. Between trademarks and copyright, all kinds of creative fields (even programming) are being stifled.
  7. Cool. I love Faultline, and she's a great character. Maybe Jim Temblor should start becoming a superhero.
  8. Psionic melee? Guess it's new. Didn't see it on the CoH website.
  9. Don't know who the girl on the top right is, but the power looks cool. I don't recognize it, though.
  10. Capes showed up for me yesterday, and I did nothing new in the Marketplace. Score one for silent fix!
  11. Your Support web page is not working, so I'll post here.

    I am using Virtue server, currently on a free account. I had previously been subscribing, and had paid for the Time power set and for Cloaks. Now I have access to neither one. Please fix this, as I paid for these items!
  12. Thanks all! For the record, character is a SS/Willpower Hero Brute.
  13. For super strength, are there any powers that are must-haves? Any that are skippable (I'm assuming Taunt is skippable). Hand Clap looks kind of iffy, as well.
  14. When I hit someone with my fist or nightstick, there is a white flash. Not sparks, but a noticeable graphics affect. Was this always like this and I didn't notice, or is it new?
  15. If players just stand off to one side and refuse to help defeat the Giant Shivan, how about not advancing them to the ambulance?
  16. So this is just a spam for your buddies book? You even admit you couldn't be bothered to read it.
  17. From what I've heard, the show has had it's budget slashed, so the writers are doing what they can with the little money they get. AMC is apparently putting most of it's money into Mad Men.

    I know I'll make a mastermind guy in leather just so I can do exactly this. Great idea!
  19. I'd like a speedster set for melee. Super fast punches, whirlwind, etc.
  20. Imagine that. DC artists screwing up a well-liked character.

    (See Harley Quinn for the worst change).
  21. You may not realize this, but CoH is not real life.

    Karl Urban is a decent actor, so I think he'll be fine, barring a really bad script. The girl looks like your typical Hollywood starlet. For being a Judge, she's giving the camera a serious "wanna go to bed with me?" look.

    That's because they're not dealing with people. They're talking to a computer screen.

    CoH2 already

    Gotta love "programmers". Conceited lot. ONLY they are qualified to make suggestions!

    It seems 2 out of 3 suggestion threads get answered with "The game engine can't do that". Then there's one snide remark about the suggestor "not being a programmer". It's very frustrating, and I doubt this game would still be around if only "programmers" got listened to, luckily for us.
