Heya all!

D: I've been gone forever on these crazy deployments and I really miss playing the game. I've seen that there have been some updates recently and was hoping to group up with some people and see what's changed. I can't wait to finish patching and play my little mousie corr again!

Has anything significant gone on around here? It'll take me a while to read through old posts, but I can't wait to catch up!

Oh, and anyone from Infinity planning on going to this year's Hero Con? I'm excited about it myself and plan on going.

It's good to have ya back, Laylia!

Where is Hero Con? I've always wanted to attend a Con, but most of them are in the Cali area... and I live in Indiana.... and can't really afford to travel very far...

Welcome back! I hadn't seen you on my global list in awhile so was hoping you hadn't quit the game like so many others! I honestly haven't even been on to check out I15 but will probably jump on tonight for a bit.


Coming back out of the woodwork after a couple years away from the game...

Thanks you guys. ^^ I'm happy to be back.

Um, from what I read, this Hero Con is going to be in San Jose towards the end of October. I know there was talk of some East Coast people wanting to rent some vans and do a road trip out there, but the person organizing it is not sure he'll be able to make it.

I'm hoping to catch a military plane out to California and try from there, since they're free for us. But that's always very risky, because you're not guaranteed a seat. So I might just have to fly out from Philly or something. I'll have to start looking around for cheap prices.

The Infinity crowd was TOO small last year! I know, I know, I live in Cali so it's a piece of cake for me. But we only filled a table and a half!!!! And that was when Ex sat with us cuz she said she liked Infinity!!! So please more Infinity folks COME TO HERO CON!! It really was a surprisingly good time.

I don't know might be fewer people overall. Seems the game's population has died out quite a bit since the last con. Sad I know.

If you can pay for my plane tickets and provide me with a place to stay... sure, I'd be more than happy to show. ^_^

Of all the reasons I can think of for going cross country, this isn't high on the list. Although a drunken debate between Positron and myself would be comedy gold, HBO has shown interest.

lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit

You know it's kind of funny that Blizzcon is going to be shown on pay per view this year and they are giving in-game rewards for those who either watch or attend the con. They truly know how to milk every dime out of people.

They give standard land mounts at lvl 20, epic land mounts at lvl 40, and standard flying at lvl 60 in the next patch. down from 40/60/70.

This change really irritates the hell out of me. Bliz goes and pretty much hands crap out to players, makes leveling a complete joke, and then expects me filter through the inept masses to find the few worthy of bringing along to my raids? Thanks but no thanks.

I'd already burnt out on hardcore raiding(yes, I was one of THOSE people) and decided to come back here before hearing about the changes. Makes me even happier to be back home in Paragon City/the Rogue Isles.

But CoX is no different, Travel is a joke here now too. from jet packs, Ouro jumping, mission transport, to full on travel powers at lv 6. I don't list the base transport because it is almost always faster to ouro go to talos and run down the hill. by about 4 seconds for me.

and as far as weeding through the masses ... welcome to the Post-AE weeding

Aion is very pretty, but I will find it interesting to see how a lot of COXers deal with the PvP (or PvPvE as they put it) at the end game. Most other MMOs have PvP fairly integrated, so I see a larger adjustment for CoVers in that aspect. ... But yeah it looks to be a fun game.

I tested Aion on Beta last weekend.. and granted that the graphics are cool and all but it sorts of feels like my two day sting at WoW.

Maybe because I didnt play enough of Aion, which I hope to when more beta testing comes out or even when Aion goes live.

Hopefully NcSoft can prove to me that Aion is better than WoW. Heres to Aion~!

Most will agree that our SG isn't PvP oriented here, but on Aion, well it's a totally different story....

The Rifts are cool!!! The Cross-Faction PvP is Amazing. We are totally digging it...

Doc Science should love the game.... There isn't any SB

But you've been doing that since classic because leveling in WoW has always been silly easy. The changes are just to encourage more long-time players to make alts and to ease the 1-60 transition even more which many long-time players find boring by this point. Weeding through idiots occurs naturally regardless of the lvling speed because people will naturally get there even they die a thousand times every level.

Not certain exactly what you mean regarding that. Not my favorite character by any stretch of the imagination, but it lends itself to an interesting playstyle when I'm in the mood.

IRT Turbo_Ski:

I regard this game and WoW as very different styles of game. WoW is mostly about leveling up, learning, and gearing your character to get into raiding. WoW is endgame, or destination-centric.

CoX is a much more journey-centric game to me. I enjoy leveling and growing in power, seeing a build come together in ways that sometimes surprise me(sometimes not pleasantly ). Most of the story arcs are actually very well-written. Travel powers are a part of growing in power in this game, IMO, and not just something to shorten the grind.

Which brings me to my low opinion of the way so many people use the MA. I love the option of player-generated storytelling. But I hate how people seem to mainly care about farming it to level as quickly as possible without actually experiencing the game.

My first 50 was an energy/ice, bit of an inside joke.

The MA 50's are a mixed bag, on one hand if you want a PvP toon, PLIng may be for you, also if you've played 20 or so toons to 50 and like the endgame (limited as it may be).

But then there are the MA babies. The new players who get PL'd result in clueless 50s. Off course there are also players with multiple 50s who are n00bz. The only logical conclusing is PUGs rhymes with drugs so- friends don't let friends do PUGs.
