is it still available somewhere that i can buy it?

[/ QUOTE ]

I doubt any retailers would still have any, it's been a few years. You might can try places like Amazon and Ebay, but if you find any that are used at places like that then the code would likely not be any good anymore, and if you did find a new one there may be no way of knowing which helm comes with it. When it was new which helmet you got depended on where you bought the pre-order box. EBGames had the Crab Spider helm, Gamestop had the Blood Widow helm (which later on also contained a red wolf spider helm for male characters since the BW helm is female only), Best Buy had the Mu Mystic helm, and all other retailers had the Wolf Spider helm.

wow some great ideas there... hey clobbertime howd u get the mu helm? or is that from the new update beta testing?

and djeanie any chance of a pic?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's a CoV pre-order helm from Best Buy. They had the ones with the Mu Mystic helmet, which is the one I chose from the pics of the helms they had posted at the time.

I can't say I like the Create Your Own Story Arc (it will really, really muddle with canon). But thanks for telling us.

[/ QUOTE ]

A story arc is just a series of missions strung together by a common plot. Doesn't have to have anything to do with game canon at all.

Well, the chaos leather might let you simulate the straps to a degree. My main villain wears the Mu Mystic helm and armored pads. I didn't make him to be a Mu character. I wanted to have him wear green and black but had to go with red and black since you can't change the colors on the pre-order helms (hoping a side effect of the VEATS will fix that.), but with the Scirroco PPPs he does have a Mu sort of look to him.

So far these are the people I can use for the Calender and possible placements...

January= Turbo Ski
February= Frosty Femme
March= ????
April = Herri
May = Crestent
June= ????
July= ????
August= Mellani
September= ????
October= Death Chemist
November= Nezumi-Ko
December= Gideon

[/ QUOTE ]

Unless you're just using heroes I think March would be good for a villain since it's said to 'roar in like a lion', although that actually refers to stormy weather. Too bad I12 isn't here yet since I have plans for a fire/storm corr, but since it isn't here is my rad/thermal corr, The Bishop of Battle.

My first CoH character was a dark/dark scrapper named The Ringwraith. I wound up deleting him because the dark armor sounds bugged me. Still do, so when I recently re-made him I made him dark/regen and gave him a new name.

Barbarians can't read! :3

Sure about that?

[ QUOTE ]
And like I said: if someone tracked me down and said, "hey are you the owner of X name?" "Yah, why?" "Well I've got a great character concept but it sucks not to have that name. Are you playing it?" "No, actually I'm not. I'll check - I don't even think it's high level, I could probably stand to remove it for you."

[/ QUOTE ]

They won't have to have a GM or anybody else to look up names for people. When the City Vault launches people will be able to search for names themselves and start bugging the crap out of whoever has it to give it up so they can have it. If the name is on a dead account, then they can start bugging the crap out of the GMs and devs to give it to them. What a wonderful tool they're building for us.

I appreciate the 2 free slots, thanks for that at least. It does seem a little skimpy though (skimpy as in 1 additional slot per year of paid account time), considering the capacity for 36 slots *per server*.

I'd buy 5 slots per server for 20 bucks, but 5 slots total is crap. Almost as bad a deal as a wedding costume or two for $10. 5 more slots on 11 servers would run me, what, $220?! Please correct my math if it's wrong, but it looks to me like maxing out your 36 slots on all 11 servers will cost you about $1000.

Well at least you don't charge $25 per character transfer, like Blizzard. Although, considering the way things are going, who knows what to expect.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or the bargin proce of $15/month for a full 12 extra slots per server via a second account.

[/ QUOTE ]

Paying $15 bucks a month rent on an additional 12 slots for however many months doesn't sound like much of a bargain to me. At least with buying them it's a one time charge and you can have up to 3 accounts worth (36) on a server and only pay $ 15 bucks a month for one account.

What about the self comp builders that forget to put in a video card? Don't they get anything? Devs hate soundcards!

[ QUOTE ]
Get a Defensive set... Ok let me get this straight. Brutes can't get Ice Powers because the slows cause the enemies to hit the brute less thereby decreasing Fury generation. But the can get defense based armors which prevent enemies from hitting them at all? I don't get it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Getting hit does not generate fury, getting attacked does. Fury builds up even when the attack misses.

[ QUOTE ]
Sadly I concur... perhaps it might have been better to avoid speculation. They SHOULD HAVE instead just said there was going to be a huge surprise patch and some such. By doing this we would have just been surprised, amazed and grateful that they GAVE us more stuff. Hype is bad news to the main forums.

Actually, what they should have done was just put up the list of ported sets when they announced proliferation. A lot of folks were speculating on what was going where and getting thier hopes up, which naturally led to disappointment when a wanted set turned out to not be on the port list. Just telling us that a surprise was coming would have just had people speculating on what the surprise could be and would have it's own buildup of hoped for additions and acompanying letdown when the truth came out.

What they really need to do is just stop trying to be all cryptic and 'nudge nudge wink wink' when they make announcements. I believe the majority of us are most likely adults capable of being dealt with in a straightforward manner. Just dropping hints and letting peoples' imaginations run rampant with specualtion is just setup for a lot of folks to be disappointed and a backlash of complaints from that disappointment should not be a surprise.

[ QUOTE ]
Just one question.

Is the Corruptor version of Electric Blasts going to be colored red to match the theme of villain electricity?



[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. Doc Brainstorm did say that the new villain electric sets will be tinted red like the current ones.

If B.S. has any cajones, he'll man up to his mistakes on a daily basis by using this avatar:

Shouldn't that be 'OOPS! Bab did it!'?

Put together a couple from a screenshot. I imagine you will be seeing the shield used a lot.

Hmm. Since BS is a cop maybe I should have used a pic of a donut instead.

I need an Avatar and I want a unique fan made Avatar. So that every time I see that Avatar I'm reminded why I do my Job, because you guys make this game great.

I'll pick my favorite submission March 31st.

I've never been confused with an artist. How about a theme song instead?

'I've got the low down corroded non-stainles steel blues.'.

Thought I'd give it a try.

[ QUOTE ]
Heh, I'll be interested to see how it's explained that The Midnight Squad - a premiere Hero supergroup - is willing to work with Villains. With Vanguard, it sort of made sense since they operated in pretty much of a gray area anyways. I hope this doesn't just mean Villains are going to get more "heroic" storyarcs "in the name of defeating a common enemy".

[/ QUOTE ]

It's not in the name of defeating a common enemy, it's in the name of couldn't think of another way for villains to unlock the Roman costumes.

If any zone was in need of a makeover, this is it! I've avoided it like the plague since it was added. Yes, it has been more preferable to me to hunt CoT across the rooftops of KR than hopping around the Hollows. Looking foward to checking it out.

The Midnight Squad

JOIN THE MIDNIGHT SQUAD (LEVELS 10 - 20)
The clandestine organization of mystics, scholars and mages, known only as the Midnight Squad, seeks to rebuild its numbers since the devastating assault of the Rikti Invasion. The Midnighters hold a secret that could bring the alien assault to an end, but without the help of the Heroes of Paragon City™ it will remain Lost forever.

NEW ROMAN-STYLE ZONE MAPS (LEVELS 35 - 50)
The Midnighters hold many secrets within their walls, including a highly coveted Ouroboros crystal, enabling them to travel to the far reaches of time. There is a familiar threat in an ancient land and the Midnighters need the help of both Heroes and Villains to stop it. Players step foot upon the ancient land of the Roman Cimeroran Peninsula, where they battle deadly creatures, defend an ancient city and ultimately come face to face with the enemy of time itself. Throughout this journey players uncover the mysteries of power and the origins that guide them today.

Looks like the 10-20 is Heroes only, and 35-50 is Heroes and Vills.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's the way I read it as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm 99.9% sure the lvl 10-20 content is available to both heroes and villains. The Devs had said there's more interest to making content available for both heroes and villains than just one side or the other so this might be a misread.

Can we get red-name confirmation on this?

[/ QUOTE ]

The way it reads to me makes it seem the 10-20 is hero only while the 35-50 will be open to both so both sides can get the roman armors.

Costumes look great! Too bad you have to make people jump through hoops for you to get them , though. Roll over. Play dead. Now beg. Beg. Good doggie.

Looks great Doug... but I don't feel the "focus" from Supes and WW.

Perhaps double check their head tilt?

[/ QUOTE ]

That's because my VG is standing just out of frame in a staredown with them. The calm before the storm!

Excellent work! It's been years since I've bought a DC comic so I don't recognize some of them. How about somebody up to speed with them naming them for us?

[ QUOTE ]
I love the idea of getting Merits from doing flashback missions as long as it isn't something as an insane amount needed for each piece.

[/ QUOTE ]

Any amount of hoop jumping to unlock costume pieces, weapons, or whatever is insane. People that have no interest in badge grinding, pvp, or market trolling shouldn't be forced into doing it just to gain access to content they can't get any other way. Too much of that in the game already.

Uuuuuhm.. Writing, writer etc only has one t in it... :/

[/ QUOTE ]

I wasn't sure if I should say something or not. But it did kind of baffle me that a writer would misspell that word in particular. Once is a typo. Twice is a coincidence. More than that and I have to start asking questions.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry wasnt really paying attention all the time. Really does it matter? -Spell Check- does help me when I am just typing really fast and just putting thoughts typing. But you really dont have to respond at all if you are going to discredit me like that. Thanks!

Message boards seem to have a way of drawing the inner english teacher out of some people. Don't sweat it, it's not your fault that some people can only feel better about themselves by belittling others.
