  1. I was thinking about this thread the other night when I was out teaming with my son. We pulled together a great group that plowed through about 7 radio missions and safeguard in Talos Island. He and I were on Skype when I added a Kheld to the team. I commented that this *might* make things interesting and sure enough, we got a Void in the very next mission and then a Cyst in the one right after. FUN! We dealt with each in turn with no real hassles.
  2. I've been doing a lot more team building lately and I generally do a broadcast first to net 3 or 4 people and then a quick run down the LFT list to see if there are some obvious candidates.

    I will always reply if someone sends me a tell inviting me so I will always thank anyone who replies even with a negative and wish them luck. Sometimes that will get me a tell a while later with "finished what I was doing, are you still running a team?"

    I definitely pay more attention to the comment field than the actual flag.
  3. Wentworths is somewhere I am always afraid to visit. I hoped when I upgraded to my 2gb system it would happen less but there hasn't been any change in that regard really. I'm going to add another 2GB tomorrow actually and I really hope that reduces my crashes significantly.
  4. Put me in the camp that doesn't want War Witch "Brought back from the Dead." I don't mind seeing something added, like a TF or whatever, but I don't want her sacrifice to be watered down.

    Ok, maybe not, but I thought it was funny. Grats once again to everyone involved!
    I plan to make an AE arc based on a group of Hockey Themed bad guys called 'The Original Six' some day. It may also involve Don Cherry.

    still have to finish the last piece of my Basilisk arc though.

    On topic... very excited for everyone and their new responsibilities. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with. Content Content Content. I feel quite content about it really.
  6. I think if you were to do five zone based on Origins, you could come up with five great looking, consistently themed places to play in. I don't see a need to restrict WHO can play in them though.

    Defining what each place could be like could fill these forums for years without ever reaching consensus.

    So something like Magic Origin End Game content could focus on Oranbega or on the true source of the issues in Croatoa but any lvl 50 who wanted to explore it could.
  7. I'm on the fence on this one. There is something cool about the added 'fear' that comes with having a Kheld team-mate. Will we get a Cyst at exactly the wrong time? Can this group overcome it?

    It is definitely frustrating to wipe hard and fast because of one mob and its accompanying swarm of unbound, but I think I'll take the risk over having a mob that is just 'inconvenient.' It makes me wish there were other 'random' mob hazards in missions that could throw you off like this does.
  8. Terrific news. Local girl hits the big time!

    Congrats from up in the most beautiful place to be from.

    hrm... I should as a question. Is there any way we could get the chest symbols to display on the side front/side of the thigh? It would add some very cool versatility. Especially if it could be done asymmetrically (On chest, On left leg, on right leg, on both legs, on all three). I mainly want this for one of my Canadian toons who needs maple leaf emblems on her legs. Right now a Canadian themed toon really only has the one option. Maple leaf on chest.

    I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here.

    When you say "once you craft a recipe like this, you can't make it again" do you mean that you have already done this on THIS toon before? If that is the case, the wings are already unlocked at the tailor and you don't need to do it again for this toon.
  11. Some of my characters know each other.

    Delicious Jailbait and Fanboy XIII go to the same High school on Talos Island, although they are a few grades apart.

    Pinwheel XIII and Weapon Canuck are both members of the Canadian Govt's Northern Watch program and have trained together in the past.

    Fanboy XIII has actually heard of all of my characters one way or another and is a big fan of them. He is also a big fan of all of your Virtue server hero characters as well.
  12. The thing that hurts the most is that until this moment, I only knew about the South side entrance. Staring at these pictures of the North side entrance... /e fetalposition

    I flew over it so many times without seeing it. SO MANY TIMES!! My hatred for Arachnos has just increased.
  13. What I would like, once you are on the server screen seeing your toons, would be the ability to get all that information, plus things like how much exp to next level and how much patrol XP etc. Maybe show me the EXP wheel so I can see how many pips I am to level. I support any suggestion to make more info available without having to login to the toon to see it.
  14. This one drove me nuts for almost a week before I ended up on a team where the leader showed us the entrance to the underground cave network.

    When you come out on the other side of the dam, the entrance to the excavations is just to your right. The Arachnos dudes are basically standing on top of it. There is a wide tunnel leading down.

    (One of the guys on the team told us he only discovered it because he used his mission teleporter to get to the door.) I had completely forgotten that I HAD a MT!! 5 days of circling that stupid Freakshow infested warehouse thinking I was an idiot. I abandoned the first mission only to discover that it pointed into the ground again.

    Public Apology

    Apparently you don't need rare moments to accomplish that.

    Here we are in a thread where you were apologizing for bad behaviour and it was going well until someone chose to correct you (in a fair effort to protect us all from a grammatical eyesore). Now, sans alcohol (I'm assuming) you are degenerating into a belligerent, even petulant, poster who won't accept that the advice is solid and that following would have long-term benefits here.
  17. The other part of the request for offline promotion/demotion is the ability (if you have the rights to invite at your level of the SG) to invite other of your own toons. It is annoying that you can't make a proper personal superbase for all your toons without having someone else invite the rest of your toons.
  18. this would be a significant QOL improvement.
  19. If only they would release a Rikti booster pack to coincide with 'event'.
  20. My old guild and alliance over in GW had a pair of vent channels we used on a regular basis. It was always a ton of fun and made the long long underworld runs more epic. Given that I am prone to impersonations and general re-interpretation of characters, giving me a mic and a captive audience was usually a recipe for fun.

    In CoH, I only play with my son, so we use Skype and chat as we dispense justice. It is fine for one on one stuff, but doesn't compare to vent for large groups. With more than 2 people, button to talk is really important.
  21. I have a couple characters with tails who would be very happy to have a belt option. This is good news. Animated tails would definitely be a terrific bonus but not essential.
  22. Idea: Liked!! Yay.
    Replies: Amusing
    Devs: Listening?
  23. It would be nice if they could take the symbol set and let you put those symbols on the outside of the thigh as well as on the chest. There are some cool symbols that would look good like that.

    I'd love to have 3 Maple Leafs on the outside thigh the way the Stars pattern does it.

    That would be a reasonable cameo I think. The fun part so far has been trying to design Villain costumes based on the original six uniforms (or recognizable modern versions).
