    It's a waste of time because the devs have already stated quite clearly they don't want vehicles in the game. They hate the idea and a good chunk of the playerbase does too. Although it could probably be done somehow, it would be a logistical nightmare and not worth it for a lot of people.

    Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
  2. Maybe every 5 or 10 levels. Fighting your Nemesis once every level would get tedious fast. "This guy again? I just put him in the Zig yesterday! Do they even have security there?"

    Buddy Code?

    I think each account gets a Buddy Code they can give to a friend to use for a free trial of the game. Pretty sure that's what I used when I tried (and failed ) to get my friend into the game.

    Unless you're proposing that the devs develop actual world-hopping tech so we can play against our real-world parallel universe counterparts, that is not even close to how PvP works.

    Weren't they removed during Open Beta? Or were they added back in for the Live release?

    Perhaps Wiki could use a little updating.

  7. Seriously though, you should file a petition if you didn't get the character slot back, that's clearly a bug. Maybe also post about it in the Tech Support subforum, as that's a pretty big issue.

    But we already have that. We have worse than that. We have unlockables that require you to play specific content. Vanguard costume pieces and a enormous robot pet? Vanguard merits, ship raid is the easiest way, fighting Rikti also works but not as quickly. Roman armor? Do the ITF. Rularuu weapons? Kill 100 Overseers (or do some other Rularuu-related content). Want Hami-Os? Do a Hamidon raid (lawl) or the STF/LRSF.
  9. Right now huge GMs like the one you described are (mostly) beyond the current capabilities of the game. The largest entity in the game (not counting Rularuu, since he doesn't actually ever appear) is the Jade Spider, which can be difficult to fight because of how targeting works.

    I seem to vaguely recall seeing a dev post saying that they wanted to rework how targeting worked so they could do larger entities, but obviously nothing has come of that so far.

    But I agree, it would be awesome to see an enormous GM. It would also be nice for Boomtown to get a revamp, as Faultline did (and to a lesser extent, the Hollows). Right not you get sent there maybe twice during regular gameplay. Like Old Faultline, it's not even a very enjoyable place to be -- everything looks the same, there's no distinguishing features. It has a GM already in the form of Babbage, but that's really it.
  10. Wednesday nights, usually starting at 8 PM EST, although sometimes they get started sooner.

    They said it would be after I16, they just didn't say when. I still could swear someone said October once, but I haven't been able to corroborate that.

    If you had been using the ingame group the Cabal as the group of witches, you would have also learned that the word "cabal" is banned.

    I'm not joking.

    Logging out

    If you're having trouble getting the options menu opened with your mouse, you can also open it by typing /, then Q will give you the quit window. Failing that, yeah, verify your files, failing that, file a support ticket (through the PlayNC website I guess, since ingame petitioning won't be an option for you).

    EDIT: Sorry I just noticed your reg date, you sounded like a newer player, so I apologize if you already know any of this.

    Kheldian naming?

    Warshade-Fallen Avatar of Perdition's Penultimate Occultation
    Peacebringer-Luminous Advocate of Freedom's Fantastical Offering

    What's that you say? Those names don't fit? Hmph, shows what you know.

  16. So have any teams formed yet? I haven't found anyone who's doing this yet, so I was wondering. Myself, I'm open for a run later in the afternoon or (probably better) evening.

    In fact, most of the time when faced with an enemy that had Kryptonite, Superman would either use some trick to get the Kryptonite away from the bad guy, or he'd leave and grab a lead suit, then come back and kick the snot out of the bad guy, all while smirking as the Kryptonite does nothing.
  18. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

    I WANT THIS MUTHA-******* KANYE OFF THE MUTHA-******* BOARD!!!

  19. It seems like they've been trying to de-emphasize hunting missions since releasing City of Villains, which has maybe 5 hunting missions in the entire game. I would be nice if it were a separate option, that way it wouldn't be foisted on players working through regular missions as it currently is blueside, but I'm not sure how likely it is.

    Stories

    It also bears mentioning that Going Rogue will almost certainly move ahead the storyline, as well as (apparently) refresh the current Praetorian story content.
  21. "Mez protection for all!"
    "Boo!!!"
    "Very well, no mez protection for anyone!"
    "BOOOO!!!!!"
    "Hm... Mez protection for some, miniature Hero 1 capes for others."
    "YAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!"

    Pain or Thermal

    Others(Lower on Cold): 43.8%

    With heals, debuffs, and Forge, its got a lot of synergy going for itself. Also you can slot the 2 Def procs for a +10% def to all, which synergies wth all the -tohit in the pets ranged attacks. Not a lot of def mind you, but its better then zero.
    Glad to hear it, I'll keep slogging through. However, I was making my comparison solely on the basis of upkeep necessary, which is what some people seemed to take issue with (and is entirely a matter of playstyle).

    I have to say, it'll be nice to approach a Longbow Flamethrower and not go "aw crud" the way I was with my Bots/Dark and Thugs/Pain (although with the latter, I got to fight fire with arson).
