I think I died 3 times on the final mission, all to the Thorn Tree itself, and I had a full Domination bar at that point too. Once we got to the point where we were all attacking it (Brute, MM, Dom, Corr), it went down pretty easy, and no one died... unlike the first Respec trial, where we had multiple TPKs in the final room.

Posi, were you teaming with some other Dev's, or just doing the normal "I'm a regular player thing"?

Nice for someone that appreciates dominators. Have you tried brutes? They're ftw.

I wanna group with Positron's Dominator! What server? If not Champion, then I demand you guys open Server Transfers.

According to a prior Positron posting he is playing his Dom on the one true server, Justice.
He didn't state what server States is playing his Plant/Psi Dom on however.
Also, Positron has appeared in full glory on several servers during the Pockeet D weekend event a while back. He had to resort to appearing outside the confines of Pocket D (Void Walking IS against the rules BTW) due to the sheer number of people crowding around him. And yes, he had all his powers. That same night I recall seeing Ghost Widow, CuppaJo, Silver Mantis, and one other whose name I can't remember. All had their full complement of powers. When bringing in the Signature Heroes and characters, yes, they use the codes to bring them in, but they don't use those powers unless it is a special event. Since I didn't participate in the End of CoV Beta Event, I don't know how those heroes were played, but it was likely with toned down versions of what they have available to them.
I also recall some events on the Test Server quite a while ago (Arena Testing?) where some of the Devs participated using their Uber characters with power combinations there is no way a player could get.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.

Of course it was with other Devs, since us lowly mortals aren't cool enough.

Yes, I've even fought her a couple of times in PvP.
She cheats though, with a dev code that keeps her unaffected by TPFoe.

Anyone ever wonder what it would be like if you were on a team with a dev?
Look for the guy, speaking complete proper English, in a comic-book-esque outfit, with an interesting bio, who happens to know EXACTLY what to do.
[/ QUOTE ]
Look for the bios. If it's a very nice one that ties in with all sorts of stuff in the storyline of the game, you may have found Manticore...

On a funnier note. I can't wait to here when Domsitron gets a mission go fight Positron. oooooo
[/ QUOTE ]
I would pay good money for a screenshot of that...

Purple triangles of DOOM!! Domsitron's primary powers are rendered useless through most of the fight.

I bet there's some UBER SECRET spot the devs use just to be cool... like you talk to a fire hidrent or type in a certian command or something... like go into a telephone booth and type /superman or something... and it gives you XP for lvl 50 I swear game developers do this all the time, I know I would if i was a game developer...
[/ QUOTE ]
When we play on the development servers or Training Room, sure... but when we play on Live servers even we dont get any special commands or cheats. We level up just like the rest of you... I know I will be on with my Dominator a bunch this weekend.
[/ QUOTE ]
How come Cuppa gets the Uber-Button and not Posi? Poor Positron, not being able to get to 50 in an instant.
P.S.: CuppaJo came and judged the SG Costume Contest for Infinity. She was a level 50 Blaster that hadn't ever increased in security level. I think even the devs (or moderaters like Cuppa) wouldn't be able to stop themselves from leveling even once during the journey to 50.

From personal experience I would imagine 2 or 3 things are required for them to use any special commands.
1. An account flagged for the priviliages to use the commands
2. A special client only distributed interally at cryptic and NCSoft.
3. The computer they use to log in must do so through their own network as to be part of an authorized subnet that the game servers recognize as valid access.
There may be more to than that even.
Golden Avatar - 50 Invul/Mace Tanker (Infinity)
Police Drone GA - 50 Fire/FF Controller (Infinity)

I might also help to later attempt to duplicate their outfit. If all of that is true (except the last one, that may well be false), you've narrowed it down to the fact that they're either a dev, a smart player, or possibly a ninja. More than one of these may apply, depending on who the dev was, and if you teamed with a Stalker.

Nah, that's too obvious -- devs are smarter than that. They probably roll toons with d00dsp34k names like "Ub3rL33tz0rz", and write garbage like "I wuz born a mutnat and I killed my parents cuz they sucked" in their bios, just to throw us off...

That describes half the people I play with, some of whom I've met in person and I know they're not Devs.

@Mr. Magnifico
The devs are hogging up untimed Wolves/ninjas missions and have no aggro cap!
Someone tell the City Hall Activist!
I already did...But he refuses to be an activist against someone with such absolute, and complete power over him and everything he does.
...Plus I hear he wants a Hami Bud as a pet...Would you anger the people that could give you a potty-trained Hami Bud?
*Waits for response*
No? I didn't think so.
