There's not a problem at all with that; everybody needs to take a break now and then to keep things fresh. I'm pretty much going to do exactly the same as what Spatch said--grind the bejeezus out of the new stuff on my badgers over the next few days, then take a break and play Skyrim (except on my Xbox instead of my PS3). I also need to really buckle down and find a job before the summer is out, and that means studying and figuring out where to get (and how to afford) certifications. You wouldn't believe how hard it's been to find a place around here that will just let me pay for one or two certification classes without requiring me to sign up for a ton of other stuff and paying over $10K for the "privilege". |
Also to Cerulean_Shadow I love the new content and the new zones and costumes and whatnot but one thing that holds me over more than ANYTHING is new powersets. Personally you could release an issue with nothing but shiny new powersets and that would be enough to keep me playing for a long time. I spend most of my time playing around in mids thinking of different powerset combos. I love the new additions for this issue but I'm burnt out anyway to be honest.
Everyone is different, for some all they need is new lore, some new zones and costumes...or some people are even steven but for me I would say that I'm...
49%-New Powersets
20%-New Content
20%-QOL Changes
11%-New Clothes/Threads
:P

You do know that with the in-game font that looks bad, right? You know, how I and L look exactly the same... It might cause confusion.

Will these teleporters or whatever make it easier to find places????Cause the main problem I have is find ways to get to places like Perigrine island and places like this when I join a team.

I just realized something...
The Penny Yin artwork is a secret clue as to the next powerset! Stretching is a go!
Servers are coming back up. Freedom, Union, Vigilance, and Virtue as of now.
EDIT: Server status page didn't list Pinnacle as up, but I'm in, so check your home servers...
Up? Woohoo, lets give it a check
"Watch gigantic evil Statesman hop around. Get a warning for stupid AOE. Back off 300 feet. Still get hit by overpowered lightning thing. Move a little slowly due to some choppiness. Go to hospital. Repeat for rest of trial."
This trial is a disgrace imo. If an option to unlock Hybrid iXP with other trials (MoM and TPN at the very least) and flat-out buy it with threads/inf. isn't added very soon, my sub is canceled. This trial is the biggest bucket of fail I've ever seen in my life.

Hey, at least you're at home playing it! I'm stuck here critiquing the comments about it. I'd say you win.

They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

Eh, its the new paradigm. Pre-Freedom, people threatened to quit because the devs didn't add anything new recently. Post-Freedom, people now threaten to quit because the devs added something recently they don't like.|

Also, quitting has been redefined to mean "switch to premium and continue playing" which means the innovation in protestation is that players elect to cease being one of the players NCSoft is trying to retain and become one of the players NCSoft is trying to attract. I'm certain this confounds NCSoft statisticians to no end.

After 8 years and the more modest pacing of new material in Issues 2-20, I like new content

Psylenz FF/Psi, ArticQuark Storm/Rad, Symon BarSisyphus Bots/psn, Max VanSydow Thugs/Dk, Cyclone Symon Bots/stm, Blue Loki Ice/Cd, Widow 46526
HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
Seems gamers are turning more and more demanding of things like they are entitled to the moon....I think so far this is a success...

Thats strange, the servers don't recognize my previous bought powers and I am still VIP and everything. Is there a delay in the paragon market server?
Ps. I like the new penelope Yin tf. A big improvement over Sis Psy.

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
I was rather hoping this issue would present a solution as to what to do with enhancement catalysts when you've already created your set but keep getting more.

"Why is everyone worried that I am spending too much time in Dark Astoria, and the place is starting to make me darker? The truth is, what I have seen, what I know... these are the things that have made me reconsider my direction in life. I am still a hero... I just do things my own way now."

I agree. I was dragged along for a TF run "I haven't did an Sf or TF in over a year or more" but I LOVED it...almost as much as the Katie Hannon TF...which I probably only like because it's short and it has to do with Croatoa lol.

In fact, we're coming up on another anniversary for this game's death soon. We have about sixteen or seventeen of those a year, because this game has died quite a few times already.

In my pre-premium sojourn I ended up at one of those other forums populated by assorted exiles, one of which personally sounded the CoH death knell every six months or so. |

Running across of his posts from around the time BAB's moved on gave me a chuckle.

Just to be clear, but it is still possible to get the 8-year anniversary badge, right? That didn't accidently get shut off, did it?
