  1. I would also like them to add Mystery Science Theater 3000.
  2. The changes don't bother me but their implementation (as provided) seems amatuer-ish. I'm not really buying into this yet until it's confirmed after the release of the blu-rays (9/16 IIRC).

    I'm a huge star wars fan but I've never understood the hate people spew in regards to the PT, Lucas and his changes. I understand the opinions people disliking certain movies/changes, but not the 'hate.'
  3. I wonder if "Forum Bug Fix" will be added to the Paragon Market for 800 PPs.

  6. I'll start then:

    2Op

    Firefly pls!
  7. Reading the thread about the Farscape conventions, someone mentioned the idea about a Second Chance channel that would show shows a la Farscape.

    So, that inspired this thread.

    First off, we need a name. Give me your best names for this Second Chance channel!

    Secondly, we need shows. List what shows you would like to see aired and why!



    tl;dr: Name the channel and provide shows suited for said channel.

    GO!
  8. If this new Star Trek show was similar to TNG or even Enterprise (wait, don't throw that stone!), meaning more space adventurer-y, then I would watch it in a heart beat. I love shows like Star Gate and SG: Atlantis. Even if most of the missions/episodes are similar, I like seeing the characters develop.

    Plus, it's fun to turn off my brain for an hour or so and just relax. Working two jobs and dealin...err...I mean helping out a pregnant wife will wear your brain down pretty quickly.

    More Sci-Fi shows please.
  9. For a second, I thought the PWNZ forums had returned.

    Sorry to hear about the lag but the good news is it will be fixed ASAP since it affects the PvE areas too. So, you got that going for you...

    But it was relevant enough for you to wave your e-peen about it. Hmmm.

    You don't seem to be reading what is typed. It's obvious teaming is going to earn better rewards, there is no issue with that aspect. The issue is the LACK of a solo/small team path that is reasonable.

    Seriously, how many times does this have to be repeated?

    Not one single person is asking for the same earning rate as the trials.

    Edit: removed snark, well more snark. :P

    This is what I think is wrong with most raid systems, honestly, doing them are not really fun.
    This. I enjoy them from time to time but the sheer number of runs needed to make meaning progression turns any fun into tedious grind. I hate grinding these trials immensely but my hate for grinding is less than my want for the Incarnate Abilities. I will be one of those people who will jump all over solo progression if reasonable but will still run a Trial from time to time just for the sheer enjoyment. This is how I play this game...for enjoyment.

    I really hope this solo path is worthwhile. Surprise me devs.

    Yes, that Death Star Laser sure was ineffective. Do we know the potency of lasers in SWs?

    EDIT: NcNum did a much better job than me. -10 Geek points for me.
  14. I was thinking of the Phantoms for my INV/DM Tank. Mainly for the AB from the support pet. I will have to run some numbers but with the additional recharge I believe Hasten and DP would be perma at that point.

    I mainly use him on teams/trials, so extra damage is not something I'm really worried about.

    From a purely technological stand point, the only two really interesting questions from that debate were who would attack first (probably the empire) and what the numerical odds would be. Starfleet wins in a straight up one on one fight, but that's not the likely circumstance. Its more likely to be a first strike by the Empire, using hyperspace to surprise its targets, and at odds of dozens to one.
    True and I wonder if Star Trek would be able to fend off the hundreds of Tie Fighters that would accompany the Star Destroyers.
  16. I've been holding out for the Bluray copies since I can remember. FINALLY.

    I really wish I could use those PP somewhere instead of a server transfer. I've used 3 my entire time here at CoH, and that was during the free transfer weekend and just to move 3 shelved 50s to another server (which I probably could have deleted just as easily since I haven't touched them in forever).

  19. I've love to give feedback on this Trial but I have yet to see one formed, on Freedom no less, during my typical game time.

    My game time isn't much lately, that I will admit. It's usually Friday night from ~9 pm - 12pm EST. And the same Sat or Sun night.

    And I'm dead serious. I see BAFs and Lambdas forming right and left, but no Keyes. I've even asked if people had interest in one and I get the obvious 'lulz' from the players.

    I know I will get on one eventually and I feel sorry for that league since it will be my first attempt and they will probably be short on patience like most players.
  20. So, does everyone feel better now?

    Totally not the same thing, but I understand the hesitation by the staff.

    Heh. I was going to say something similar but I'm trying to cut down on my infractions per month.

    Funniest part of the entire WH13 episode...

    Pete: "What I would give for some Gold Bond."

    No need to name call man. This is a suggestion forum. Lighten up. And 'approve of?' I will just say that they may not 'approve' farming yet but that definitely don't disprove of it.

    Citation needed please. The Incarante Trials are farms. They are dressed up in nice outfits but are just farms.

And if that thought occurred to me, I'm sure it has occurred to them as well.
    Slippery slope arguments are for chicken little, IMO. Fear shouldn't de-motivate the company from providing an outlet for a playstyle. Iunderstand they don't endorse the AE custom mob farms, but there are numerous methods that remain untouch after many years. Not to mention the addition of the Trials which have to be farmed if the player wants to make any meaningful progression towards Incarnate Abilities.

    Basically, I know that farming won't receive it's own forum because of the slippery slope argument you pointed out and the four letter word that is 'farm.' However, I bet, given enough time, that some type of forum will exist. It's only a matter of time IMO.

    Thanks again for the discussion everyone, even the troll(s).
