  1. The Party Pack Booster didn't sell well enough to keep BaBs around.
  2. Illusion Doms sound cool, but everytime I see someone say Controllers got Plant and now Doms don't have any unique sets I have to think about all those Assault sets Doms and noone else gets.

    Proliferate Assault sets to Corruptors and Defenders.

    Well change them around abit, level 38 snipes aren't really gonna be all that great on fenders.

    You can still do this, very handy trick for when a team leader says goodnight logs and the star gets past to someone new, who is buried in the level up screen, and he doesn't realize the whole team in talking to him and sending tells, asking him to pass the star or pick a mission.

    I call it the Praetorian Syndrome
  4. If/when you get more into IOs the wording on this recipe isn't gonna bother you.

    OH! I bet Dominatrix has recharge debuffs. Anyone know for sure? Her powers appear to be missing from paragonwiki.
    Isn't Dominatrix a Grav Controller? Pretty sure she is, which means she has -rech in her holds and immoblizes.
  6. Rush now has his own Six.

    Best Dom pet?

    I'm not too impressed by pets but I have to admit Stoney is amazing. That little guy can tank and his 2 big hitters have built in controls, his hammer causes knockdown and KO Blow can hold.

    I have a keybind set up so that if I see Stoney running off to someplace he shouldn't be I can just despawn him. With Stoney there is a small chance he'll use Hurl Boulder (great control power) knocking an enemy back into another mob and then run up and punch someone in the face. I'm in charge, I decide who gets aggroed and when.

    I mean, seriously, I'm chilling on Nova Praetoria's waterfront, looking at the towering jungle at the city outskirts, and thinking to myself "the Hamidon is the bad guy here? What?"

    This reminds me of those folks in Independence Day who were partying on the rooftop, welcoming the aliens, wearing their pretty costumes and cute signs. They thought the aliens were here to be our friends, our buddies, our pals.

    Then the aliens nuked them with some crazy nuclear laser ray.

    Hamidon may not be cruising around in a spaceship (yet) but he is not
    your friend
    your buddy
    your pal
  9. That Volcano in Striga is fairly tall. It sucks having to ninja run over/around it.
  10. 1. Male

    2. Blasters, Scrappers and Doms are all kinda tied for most played AT

    3. Redside but I think thats more of a base issue then me preferring the content in the isles over Paragon.

    4. Darrin Wades first arc, Council/5th were you discover were Warwolves and later Vamps come from.

    5. The Superhero genre allows other genres to fit inside of it so easily. Other MMOs just lock you into one or two genres at a time.

    6. Borderlands and Star Trek Online are the only other games installed on my computer but any free time I have to play video games gets devoted to CoX.

    7. I started playing in Issue 2, I should point out I was one of those who over reacted to ED and left the game for something like a year. I would at this time like to thank the Devs for giving me Vet Reward time as if I had never let my subscription lapse.

    8. I can't buy anymore slots on Virtue. The Default slots on Justice and Freedom are pretty much filled with level 6ish characters that I rolled in order to test costumes and concepts before I cleared a slot on Virtue for them. I have 6 50s but I have a habit of abandoning toons in the early 40s.

    9. By 38 I like to have every toon to have built 20% recharge and 20% defense to something (mostly ranged). Unless the toon is really single target damage (EM) I'll increase to 4 virtual teamates before I bump the level of my enemies up.
  11. Only the leader of a team (marked with a star) can set the active mission for a team.

    First time I saw that tip was in Croata, several of us were doing Gordons arc but the team leader was always the last to load exitting the previous mission. I had just called Gordon got the next mission and entered. Which sets the active mission.

    Theft of Essence

    You don't suck at picking it up at the market, that just happens to be one of the most rare recipes out there. Since so many people roll in the 35-39 pool and this recipe caps at 30 very rarely does new supply hit the market.

    I've got a 75 million bid on a lvl 30 +end IO, that bid has been there late august.
  13. I don't remember the name of the Day Job Accoloade that grants Crafting Discount Tickets but you get for having both the Day Trader Dayjob and Shopkeeper, swap Shopkeeper with what ever dayjob badge you get for ferries redside. It's around a 30% discount on crafting fees.
  14. Nevermind.

    I didn't recall you had to click next in order to find the safe mode option.
  15. So I'm having a problem booting the game and figured I'd see if I can run the game in safe mode and there is no longer a safe mode check box on the updater.

    How can I see if I'm safe if I have no safe mode?
  16. Head to your User CP and you'll see "Edit Avatar" near the top of the column on the left.
  17. What would be nice for an Advanced Teleporter is the option of where in a zone you get dropped off at.

    For Steel you would have a choice between the normal teleport spot in Northern Steel and the base entrance next to the Strong Guy statue.
  18. Did Teabag (from Prison Break) die? The crazy Lucien leader sent him to kill either Rush's group or the group in the infirmary, after that I didn't see him.

    What was wrong with the Alpha/Omega pack? I'm using those pieces all over the place.

    New Aura Preview

    I will be so bummed out if these auras are tied to fighting Snaptooth.

    I unlocked halos on 2 characters and said screw it. Being forced to repeat the same mission over and over again on multiple characters just to unlock capes and auras is bad enough but having a 2 week window a year to get a character access to a coustume piece is going to fill most people with a sense of accomplishment. It just makes people feel like they are wasting time.

    Oh and those 2 characters I unlocked halos on, I don't even play them anymore. I've moved on to other alts.

    Sounds like you have trip mine and time bomb mixed up.
