Quick question

I have my re-up due in the middle of all this, last year it stepped in the way of me getting the time active rewards. I wanted to make sure this is a smooth transistion (I pay my one year I have ordered next month...)

Is this going to be an issue this year?

Thanks,
elvnsword

I like the idea of a group of mutant teens in Praetoria feed up with Cole's line of BS. Perhaps an even split betwen simple rebels, and destroyers. I could see a single mentor teaching shield defense techniques to all his students, similarly to how Prof X teaches teamwork to all his folk.

Shields are easy to make, and mutants gifted with melee powers, but no defenses might take to the shield as a way to gain those defenses.

whatcha think

I have a /SD concept I wouldn't mind running with a team of other Shield players. When Shields first came out they did have a few static teams running about, the main one I can think of were the Spartans, all BS/Shield, they apparently did quite well for themselves.

My hours vary, (military), so I don't know if could commit to being there for EVERY session, but I would certainly do everything I could to make it happen.

Here's my view on this. I can see both view points, those arguing for the availability of names opening up from extinct accounts, and those argueing that many good names are still out there just waiting for a player with enough imagination to find them. However what I DON"T see in this discussion is any good justification why there shouldn't be a much more extensive purge.

My suggestion is to create a script to purge all accounts older then 2 years inactivity, in addition all affected characters should have "*" added at the beginning and end of the effected character, and a rename token added to the character if they feel like trying to snag out the name again when they come back.

What do you think of that? What would the downside really be?

Frankly, I agree with a buff to Peacebringers, or a change to they're inherent power.
Frankly I don't think ANY AT should be dependent on teaming for they're power. It is EXTREMELY hard to solo, or even duo a Kheldian.
As such, I think it is perhaps time to give a bonus to PBers and WSs which is NOT dependent on having a bunch of friends online at the time.

perhaps a changing bonus based on the form. My suggestion would be Status resist for Human Form, (both WS and PBer)
WS: Damge Resist Debuff in Nova
WS: Accuracy Debuff in Dwarf

PBer: Accuracy buff for Nova
PBer: Damage Buff for Dwarf

These could be buffs which only take place when the PBer is alone, when on a team, the existing buff would be in place.

and


whaddya think?

I fixed by deleting the coh.checksum file. This forces a verification of all files, and it looks at the files to reassess the build.

worked for me.

Congrats to the happy couple...

I am glad to see other folks don't go for the whole, down on one knee in a mundane restaurant.



Also, I am proud of the community we have here, griefers are so rare, we don't get to see they're crap for all the well wishes being said. One more reason for me to stick here for as long as I can.

Congrats...
@Enforcement out...

I agree with op with one consideration. Greater immersion should be reason enough.

Rain is used in movies to set mood, even adding perma-weather to some zones, toggled every so often would do a LOT for immersion.

Small, but well off SG needing a base architect for one time work, or as a permanet fixture of our group. All members of the group have attempted base building at this point and we have discovered we have no talent for it. As compensation I offer either/or/and membership in the group, 25 million influence on commision, 475 million on completion, and full access to our stores of recipes, enhancements, and salvage.

Interested parties should contact Megashield, Archangel Mycheal, or Fallen Liberties in game on Virtue server, @enforcement, or send me an PM on the boards. Thank you for your time and attention in this matter...

SG is themed as a liason driven branch of the PPD, technically seperate, but recieving a govt. black budget funding to try and bring the situations in Paragon back under control.

SG Base is fully functional with portals to most every map in Paragon City (The Chantry and PVP areas are all we are missing, I'm working on it...). We hold a weekly SG meeting, followed by Task Forces.

Feel free to join us on Facebook, search for the Local Gamers 859, we will be happy to have you in Unified Force.

• Character Description
I am the forgotten brother, the Fallen Son. A failed attempt at reproducing Statesman's powers through and arcane ritual brought my powers to life. I served for no small time as Kid Liberty, Statesman's loyal sidekick. However, when he left me for dead under a Panzer Mk XIV, I was understandably upset. My attempt on his life cost me my freedom, and through no small number of coincidence I ended up as a hero in the Rogue Isles, now I am set to serve Paragon City again, as a beacon of light in these troubled times. But I will never forgive him, for all that I and he have done, for the lose of my eye, for the gravel in my gut, and the anger that feuls my very powers. I will not forgive, I will not forget, and one day... One day we will have our fight, but today, the people of Paragon City need me... They need Liberty, even if it is cracked, busted, and Fallen.

Back to the Topic...

I tend to agree with the sentiment of the OP.
Banning a singular temp power, one that has to be earned from a challenge in game is not ok.
We play this game hard, and I understand that we find ways to break it you never even imagined... that's what happen when you expose something to the geek hivemind.
However, banning a single EARNED power from a single in game challenge is the start of a horrid precedent and trend. Instead, if we are somehow doing something you didn't expect, give us the reward and make the next challenge even better, even harder, without arbitrarily banning an earned in-game accomplishment.
I have not done the CoP yet, and at this rate probably never will simply because I don't want to participate in portions of my favorite game tainted by the heavy handed nerf bat.
This is a similar attitude that lead to Enhancement Diversification, and other controversial changes in our game. The players aren't doing what we expected and intended, which means they must be wrong...
Please... Give us a little credit as the genius we are for finding a hole in the system, let us have our dinky rewards, and let it go. We WILL keep playing, no matter if I can get a toon to 50 in 2 days, 20 days or 2 months, I would keep playing. I adore this game, it's community and story. Finding a strategy that works, should not be punished...
Thanks,
Elvnsword

On dling the patch and install, it gave me a "not enough disk space error" however I have over 120 gig left on my C:/ drive with no partitions.
has this happened to anyone else?

So I bugged something a couple days ago, and then received an email that it was as intended, and it makes no sense to me.
I run a LOT of shield characters, I like the shield set, and love playing melee... However, shields is unique in that when you have your defenses active you can't emote... None of the emotes work, and today I Was told that was as intended...

Could we please get some explanation on this... please...

~Elvnsword

No Costumes, No Power, No Buy...
Sorry Devs, We love you but we can't be ripped off like that. Costumes and Powers have been the primary drive for most of the boosters so far. A booster with only emotes, (4 more then the first pack but still only emotes), for only one dollar less then the rest of the packs is severely overpriced.

I will not be purchasing this booster, which is a shame cuase I have bought all the others on release day... This on just disappointed me.


~Elvnsword
PS: Want to make it work 9.00 without having to balance a power, give us the NPC Costume powers from PAX and all the other stuff. I would pay 9.00 for those and a group of emotes... That would be worth it to me, even without actualy costume pieces to use.

we need the original Flares animation back as an option (I stopped playing my Corruptor because it was missing... ::sadface:: )

We need alternate non-gunfu animations for DP

We need alternate animations for Energy Blast, possibly alternate energy shapes (think the Pratorian Police's blasts... )

Arrows need color,

Masterminds need to be able to change pet colors/customize pets entirely. (I still want my all female gang leader, "for The Master" ftw)

Others have mentioned this, but we do need the Fire melee abilities to have the options to use the sword ALL the TIME...

Power Pools, Patron Powers, and Epic Powers ALL NEED COLORING OPTIONS, and some need alternate animations.

Mu Lightning NEEDS coloring yesterday. Especially with the options for heroes to have Mu Lightning as they're epic pool powers, and the tech for it already exists with Lightning blast sets...

Hasten is in desperate need of color and animation options, as are Jump Kick, Punch, Kick, and the whole medical pool.

~Elvnsword
PS: Sorry to anyone who I didn't manage to credit for they're ideas if posted earlier, this is imho what needs to change. If I stepped on your toes it's cause I didn't read the whole 10+ pages, and I happen to agree with you. Take it as a sign of good taste
