    I always walk back to Ms Liberty once I hit 50. From where ever I am. No flight, SS, SJ or teleport. I do use sprint, but nothing else. I figure it is nice to slow down and just look around and remember where you've been with that character.

    Of course I have. Ranger Coffee! (Ok, not the brand) But:

    Take all the left over coffee packets from MRE's dump them in a canteen cup, add creamer packs as you get them. Put the cup in an extra canteen pouch. Clip to your belt. Go on very long march. Reach into the pouch and pinch out coffee along the march. Gives energy and keeps you fresh. Follow as needed with a sip from your camelback.

    I use the Stars and notes function a lot. I actually love the system. I rarely use it for negative feedback. I use it for a few things. Everyone in the SG I am in gets 5 stars. After that I use it to rate.
    As I said I only rarely use it for negative comments, to be honest the people I run into this game for the most part all rate 5 stars anyway. But there is the odd occasion (probably 2 or 3 times since the function came out) that I've just given somebody 1 star and moved on.
    I have a couple of times since seen one of the people moving through the city with that star over their head, and once was invited to a team they were on. As I said, I love the function.

    This.

    I know there have been things I've been critical of. But mostly that is because I like this game enough to want it to be perfect. We do have the best devs, and the best game.

    Now... if they would just listen to me all the time...

    (Let me know if you need the wink translated.)

    So no, the costume codes don't harm the game because they add virtually nothing to it, unlike costume pieces.
    Add nothing to it? I have a character that is a super powered tank. I use the Tank Smasher costume code that I got from a convention. The entire character is based off that code. I think it adds a lot. By your arguement it allows me to play a Freak Tank while others not lucky enough to go to the convention can not.

    However, I see nothing wrong with attendance perks, swag, or whatever you want to call them. I just have never understood the sense of entitlement that some people view the world with. It makes no sense.

    I will be getting this in 8 days. I appreciate the veteran awards. I've been a subscriber nearly straight through from CoH beta (nearly because there was a card mix up for a week or so while I was serving in Iraq).
    I appreciate that loyalty is rewarded and also hope to see what the 84 month reward is. Heck I want to see what the 150 month reward is.

    No problem. I just now logged on and took these:

    Here is a shot looking back at the center entrance. The entrance is laid out exactly like the lobby area of Pocket D.

    Here is another shot looking the other way.

    More coming in a sec. BTW, I posted links because the shots are big.

    If you logged out in the Paragon Dance Party before it was changed to Pocket D (and stayed there) then you can still log back into the Dance Party (though it is very lonely when you do).

    3. Use Ouro crystal to teleport to contact.
    4. Quit mission/task force.
    I am now at the Croatoa entrance to the Midnighter's Club.
    If you have the Cimeroran contact that gives constant timed missions just call him and use the mission teleporter (if you have it). I usually just let the timed mission run and ignore it while I'm doing an ITF or such.

    Subjective feedback: I have to agree. The stuff in the pack is very cool. But, it just feels like more of what we already have. We have so many horns and demonic options. I know these are ultra cool horns and demon options... But still. I really don't get a "mutant" vibe from the costume pieces. Now that I have seen what is in it I am no longer that exited. This will be the first booster that I wont be sitting with my mouse hovering over the buy button to buy it the second it comes out.

    The entire reason I worship the guy is specifically because he ISN"T dead. He is very much alive.

    That would be awesome. Especially if it were attached to the Rikti Monkey Plushies I hope they someday make.

The Kill Arcana Special Edition. I would think they were completely retarded if they *didn't* do it. By comparison, giving GameStop customers a few mid-level enhancements is a trivial advantage over my own gameplay.

    I just hope BaB makes me some nice death emotes if that ever happens. Which of course everyone else would get to have in the Arcana DeathPack for only $9.95.
    See, your looking at this all wrong. It should be like the Batman issue where people could vote to have Robin die or stay alive. It should come with two powers. The keep Arcana alive, and the kill Arcana powers. Each activation would basically be a vote... And you'd only get your really cool death emote if there were more activations of the kill Arcana than the Save Arcana power. Much more fun that way.

    I'll bite.

    You're right. I've been around since CoH beta. And I've made sure to have everything so far. I'm all for anything that brings in new customers. Any hobby will die if new people aren't brought in. So I get that. I'm not even really complaining about this (check my posts I haven't).

    I will just say for me, yes the issue is that I want this because it is kind of like collecting. I'm can't imagine why that is a bad thing. I enjoy this game, for me it is a hobby. So what is wrong with a person wanting the newest thing that comes out?

    I think the problem is crying doom all the time, and casting evil intentions on NCSoft for the slightest thing. Not wanting to have a new thing.

    I just want to see something official answering my question above. Since I pre-purchased, will I have to get the Gamestop edition and the $7 pack to get everything? Or, can I just get away with buying the Gamestop version?

    And on the GR site, they said it will be $6.99
    I may have missed this. But, what I've been wondering if the above will be in the the Games Stop Edition. I know it says complete edition. But I never assume, and I can't see anything that specifically says the above will also be in there in addition to the Enhancements and the mouse pad.

    I have a level 50 DM/Regen. MoG is the best power. If I have a problem with the power it is my own tendency to wait too late to activate it. But, there are a huge number of times that the entire team has face planted and I am left to clean up the mess. It is a lot of fun to be the one that saves the day that way.

    As far as Regen rate. I am far from a min/max player, so I doubt my numbers are anything but average. But I get the following at level 50:

    Without anything running: 19.08 hp/sec 1619.7 max hp
    With just Integration (INT): 35.66 hp/sec 1619.7 max hp
    With Dull Pain (DP): 53.05 hp/sec 2409.5 max hp
    With Instant Healing and DP/INT: 152.82 hp/sec 2409.5 max hp
    With Instant Healing and INT: 86.14hp/sec 1619.7 max hp

    The character has Portal Jockey, and the Freedom Phalanx Reserve accolades.

    My recharge bonus is 32.5% without Hasten and 102.5% with it. My dull pain currently is 141.1 sec recharge. (oh... if I could only afford purples). Dull pain lasts 120 seconds. So it very nearly is perma.

    Add all this together and you see that having 15 seconds to heal a total of 2292.3 hp is kind of a big deal.

    (Of course I will bow to Arcanaville if any of my numbers are wrong. For the record all but the individual recharge times come from the in game power monitor. The recharge times on powers come from Mids using my current build.)

    Now if I could just get MoG to recharge faster than 95.9s. (So need purples).

    That belt might be a challenge too. Football pants might be the way to go. Here is one place:

    I also had a friend that did a Super Hero costume using wet suit pants. Just a thought.

    http://www.wetsuitwearhouse.com/page...m-wetsuits/SSH

    Wrestling boots are also a great idea:
