    That said, turning them all into MA guy/Ashley McKnight/Montague Castanella/Percy Winkley style contacts would be a vast improvement.

    While we're at it, add the tailor contacts and the cape/aura contacts, since they're briefly mentioned by the trainer one time only, and I've seen a LOT of newbies that missed that message and never knew they'd missed out.
    I agree with all your points. I have over 400+ toons (yes, horrible altitis, I admit it) so switching to another is pretty easy to do. I do switch a lot.

    The biggest change I am waiting for in the software is to get rid of the 30 second delay when logging out, that would save me so much time (!)
  3. Before I16 I had one of every archetype primary/secondary combo (that's a LOT of toons) blueside... so my accounts were pretty full, but I haven't been able to keep up with power proliferation. It gets kind of boring after the 300+th sewer run :-) And yes, I have grave altitis
  4. I quadbox when I solo and I find that 4 accounts is about the right amount to keep me interested in soloing content. Usually the teams are not that optimal, but when I go against hard content I try to have a tank, a damage dealer, a troller and a defender.

    I occassionally six-box to try out broken combinations such as 6 thugs/storm MMs and 6 fire/rads with imps.

    When I play normally I almost always dual-box or if I am in a PUG where they tell me not to do it (I always inform), I usually do trading with the second account when things are slow (waiting for people to get to missions etc). I fancy that I can dual-box as well as most people can singlebox. It is actually quite relaxing to dualbox compared to quadboxing :-)

    When I dualbox I have only one computer with two windows, the secondary toon on follow and I keep the attack chains going just by switching between windows and hitting keys, no software used. When there are three or more toons I have a secondary computer and keyboard and use that as well, although efficiency drop enormously on the 4th toon (which is then usually just a defender on follow)

    I find playing just one toon no fun at all at this point, unless it is a scrapper or a 50 firekin and I am watching a documentary or a MMA event (i.e. something you can follow a lot by just listening to it, wouldn't work with a movie) at the same time

    I think I might be affected by having once played 18 tables of online poker at the same time regularly.

    I have inherited about 8 bases, playing on all the US servers. I have turned one into a great active SG on Virtue and I am still running the others, filled with my alts and a few surviving members. I keep paying the maintenance and playing my toons there, but I don't want to spend the time designing the base, there is just no fun in it for me. Thus the bases look like crap.

    So now I am looking for people who are interested in base constructions. I can give you fairly free reign.

    The SGs that needs this the most urgent are:

    Active SG on Virtue, around 100+ active members, daily play, about 11 mill prestige

    SG on Freedom, about 8 active members with loads of alts, about 7 mill prestige

    SG on Protector, about 3 active members with loads of alts, about 18 mill prestige

    You can send me a message here if you want to be the base builder and build the base of your dreams. Of course a leadership role is involved as well so if you want to do it on Virtue I would be happy if you had leadership ambitions as well. :-)

    You can also contact me at @Bliksta or @Zeargan

    This. I think it should be halved. The rate right now is crazy high. 250:1 would be much more reasonable, while still being worse than kiling mobs at lvl 50 (186:1 as above).
  7. I just cancel the go-see mission immediatly and move on to the next one. If I have cancelled another mission in the last three days, I leave the toon at the contact, play an alt for 1-3 days and then come back and cancel the mission.

    I never do the go-see missions. Serious waste of time.
  8. I am happy that the European friend who introduced me to City of Heroes had a NA account and that I never had the misfortune to experience the EU servers... and I recommend all europeans to have american accounts, its much more fun to play on 11 servers with players than on 2 empty ones (and 2 you can't understand) :-)
  9. I completely agree with the article and would love to see a thousand new maps. Even if they would eventually be old it would still be a time of discovery and joy.

    For me, the repetetiveness of maps (or maybe the lack on non-combat content) is the #1 drawback of this game

    I love it, I would have such a huge base!!

    The influence sink I really want to see is to have the flipper games, the poker tables and the roulette in Pocket D be minigames that would be raked. This would be somewhere I would go with my influence. Imagine playing poker against villains in Pocket D, that would be just like a bond movie :-)
  11. I think the SSK system really made level pacts unnecessary.

    But the developers have stated that they will some time in the future possibly implement many-people-pacts. It is my firm belief that these will appear right after base raids and the moon zone.

    It appears this number has changed, as my SG has 88 members. I seem to recall the number 200, can that be correct?
  13. I have to say that I love SSk and that these problems, even if they are indeed problems, are quite minor and pale in comparison to everything we had with the old system
  14. The main good thing about x2 xp from a stats perspective, for me, is x2 prestige. If I wants load of XP normally, I just farm or powerlevel my toons, which can easily be done to reach the level you want to be at (usually 20 to get stamina).

    But the best thing overall - and the reason I normally take vacation around x2 xp - is the amount of people online. It is SOOO easy to find a team during x2 xp and that is what I like about it.

    Leaving an SG...

    That would be a great way to help new SGs so that they did not need to start from scratch. I know there are many SG ruins out there that could be put to good use
  16. Just started having this problem a week ago after 18 months of play on the some computer. Felt pretty weird.
  17. Time, try upgrading to the latest driver on your graphics card
  18. An option to auto-accept the fortune teller buff would be used by me. Would that be a bad idea?

    This. Or try being a European playing on any other server than Virtue or Freedom on Euro hours :-)
  20. Did a brief search, found nothing, and thought I would resurrect an old thread to ask the question (please forgive me if it has already been asked):

    "Its January! Isn't it time for another x2 xp weekend?"

    I so hope it does not happen in January as I am booked for every weekend. I hope it will be the weekend right next to Valentine's day, then we can do the event and x2 xp at the same time :-)

    I also hope that the extra x2 xp weekend we got in October does not delay the regular one in January

    Theme/Concept: Laid back

    Activity: About 50 members, mostly Europeans, right now we are increasing our efforts to recruit American players (with a new American leader) to enable round-the-clock play (yeah, we would like a far east leader as well). Most active on the weekend, naturally. Drunken play is not looked down on.

    Other Details: We make no demands on you. Run in SG mode if its fun. We do, however, need someone who is good at base design as our quite large base is ... well, not designed very stylishly right now as the current leadership are mostly well-meaning friendly lazy people that suck at design.

  22. Sounds like I should try it out. The only downside I see myself is that I usually play loud music while I play, which probably does not work very well with Ventrilo :-)
  23. I have tons of alts, play on all servers and love to PUG, so I have been moving approximately 20 toons, primarly to and from Virtue & Freedom. Basically I have been moving toons I want to play more on to the more populated servers and moved away toons that I haven't played much
  24. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!
