  1. redside would be stalkers "the death machines" mms just are in the way, doms dont dominate, corrs dont corrupt, brutes are tank lite, widows also rock. blue side blasters are way cool the rest are adequate. this is my opinoin
  2. i just got my PB to lvl 47 went on down to WWs to buy a purple set which i had saved up for when i was informed that you cant slot purples until lvl 50, when you can slot all other lvl 50 sets at 47. is this a bug or has it always been like this? if it has always been like this, whats the reason for it?
  3. i could see it as a 60 month vet reward. i mean seriously, after 60 months of paying they should get a shot at a lifetime membership. they paid their dues.
  4. while the game was down yesterday i went looking at the new mmo's coming out . i saw something that caught my eye. it was this new mmo that had a lifetime membership for $199.99, and i thought that was a very unique idea. do you think this game could do something like this?i would gladly do that over any other pay rate we have now. not saying this $200 price is set in stone, but the concept is great.

    A Synapse followed by a quick Katie will get you enough merits for 3 random rolls. That's kind of why they implemented the diminishing returns, to encourage people to run different TFs instead of the same one over and over all day long.

    i guess what im trying to say is that a tf that isnt worth a reward recipe roll isnt really a tf!

    PS- you said yourself you did this on a PUG. that means the problem is with your pug, not the TF 99 times out of 100.

    leave it to the forum cartel to come in and flame a thread. thats all you guys are ever good for!you guys should save your opinions for someone who isnt afraid of you!

    at worst you're looking at 3 completes.

    as for your completion time..thats highly abnormal. the average run on katie is 30-45 minutes, tops. the reason its worth so little is a well built team can blitz it in 25 or less.

    Plus Katie is insanely good exp, and has a decently interesting story, so I run it all the time anyways.

    did you forget diminishing returns for doing a tf in the same day? 9 1st, 4or5 2nd, 2 or 3 3rd time then 1's fron there on.
  10. did the Katie Hannon tf last night. a pug team, we had 4 team wipes, several other deaths, then finally on completion we recieved 9 merits. not enough for a merit reward roll.by my calcuations you would have to do this tf 8 times to get a reward roll. the risks were way more than the rewards here. i know some people say they could do it in less than an hour, but with all our deaths we took over 2 hours to complete. wont be doing this one anytime soon!

    yes it would be nice,but i see you've already been flamed! i understand there is a trust issue to do what others have suggested when your plan prevents theft and gms getting involved and all the bad things associated with a transfer.
  12. i too was quite disappointed in this weekend. found 1 team the entire weekend. mostly soloed. tried all the famaliar ways to get a team going noone wanted to come out of AE. and i dont go in so it made for a boring weekend but its over now and i can get back to reg mishs with a good team.
  13. just happy its over i get in way more teams normally. found 1 team the whole weekend for a terra volta trial, no pugs, no tfs. its over now back to normal! played on infinity all weekend. dead except for AEs. i find no joy in an AE bldg.
  14. you change forums when the old one had so much negative attention attached to the game it was losing you subscriptions.if you need some how to hide all that it would be a reason to change it but that is one possibility out of hundreds.
  15. i guess what i should have asked was will this go the cov did? started as a new expansion then after awhile it was just what you got like everyone who buys gets both coh/cov. i will wait untill they intergrate it into the game.
  16. it is very hard on the eyes in its current format. if it was a MA arc i would half star it!
  17. my question is. how will GR work with a team full of mixed members? by that i mean you have 4 ats(any)who have paid for GR and 4 ats(any) who havent, and the half the group decides they want to GR. what happens to the team at that point? i see alot of bad blood here. but i'm not pyschic. will teams only be looking for both way players and how is this suppose to help? some people have been put off so much by lack of recent decent gameplay. it seems you are intentionally alienating some people from the game!
  18. its very hard on the eyes. i have a hard time looking at it for more than 5 mins at a time.
  19. thamks Zombieman that helped alot im no longer infected hooray! reloaded javarunning smoother. the magicjack is a mixed blessing/curse its cheap less than $20 a yr if you got high speed cable. but when it rings and you are online the phone part hijacks the rest of computer and locks it up till you answer phone.very annoying if im playing coh/v. thanks everyone who responded for your help!
  20. i get a lot of this lag too heres my hyjack report couldnt get the cohhelper to run right

    It takes only a moment: read how many mails you have. open email tab. Click that number of times on delete.

    It takes nothing more than that. It's not going to change. The reason I say click "spam" on the ones with names still attached is because that account hasn't been closed by NC yet. If they know it's spamming, they WILL.

    Gold farming is here. Period. So... maybe with I16 or GR we might see some change with the system but I seriously doubt it, and the problem is *not that bad*.

    have you ever gotten a non-spam email? Are you WAITING for someone to send you an email? If not, delete. That's all there is to it. It's half a moment you CAN spare.

    [/ QUOTE ]



    couldnt help but to disagree with everything you said. i have hundreds of spam so it would take hours to read them all and delete them. the problem is a growing avalanche with the only end in sight is filters or the big off button for the email system. but everytime someone mentions a way to end the spam this way some cappa incarnate or forum cartel comes and flames the whole idea which seems a perfect fix for the monster problem that is spam/email.

    farming and pl'ing are not exploits you [censored]. it is things that give little risk for their reward which were already dealt with. how about everyone stop comming to the forums everyday and starting new AE ruined... threads. you are not making the game look any better to people that may want to try it. in fact if these didn't pop up you really wouldn't see anything about the MA other then the occaisional question in it's appropriate section.

    [/ QUOTE ]



    i find it refreshing that both sides are told here on forums. not everyone is a butkissing dev wannabe. the people that are looking to buy should see this is not a perfect game and that serious problems occur here too. and that way they can make an informed decision on whether to purchase this game or not.
  24. hands tyger42 a cup of lighter fluid and a burning torch. everytime someones says something close to this someone from the forum cartel comes on and flames him. enough is enough let them have their say without a bonfire!
