  1. They also used to have weekly contests where they gave them away for solving word puzzles, a mystery image, and captioning a picture. These are on hiatus for the time being. Between these three giveaways, the mass of giveaways on Twitter, the forums, and Facebook and the ongoing contests, I'm not surprised that they're scaling things back for a bit.
  2. This is a good list with some of my favorites on it. Has anyone here had fun facing the new version of Citadel? He looks the same, but all of his powers are now the official Preatorian Clockwork rundown, buffed to EB/AV levels.

    Outrageous ranged attacks? Check!
    Killer melee? Check!
    Massive self heal? Check!
    Able to use the massive orbital laser cannon of doom? Check!

    I faced him, as a -1 EB, on my fully purple and oranged out Crab at full power and it was one of the longest and hardest fights I think I've ever had. I ate every inspiration, lost every pet, and started pulling out temp powers. Wow.
  3. Definitely have never looked at a characters' butt--only at the mayhem they unleash. I just figured I was an exception since I'm wired somewhat differently.

    Dur. That's a great idea. I'll watch the counter closely and report to BS to see if we can track this down.
  5. bAss posted character shots.

    /thread








    Yeah, so i RP all of my characters and can't seem to get into character on female characters...so all but one of mine are male. :/
  6. ...I've lost count of how much inf. I have.

    Or just one of them is activated?
    Also, why if she is a hero now, still got the paper missions and the villain contacts in the contact window?
    I think it should only show both if you are vigilante or rogue, but a hero cant go to Rogues Island and neither do paper missions or just villain missions.
    What I am missing?
    Badges, both. Powers, once.

    If you're a hero now, all your villain contacts will go into your Inactive tab the next time you login/zone except for your newspaper. You get to keep that as s souvenir.
  8. OPTION 1

    I was all for Option 1 even before bAss so eloquently and artistically illustrated it with his usual flair of bAss-Ad artz.
  9. Ran Tina's arc on my Spider from front to back and defeated all AVs offered. Ran Maria's arc and every single one of her missions, and defeated all AVs present. Defeated everyone on the list more than once, and still stuck at 12/14.

    Though I was a little sad to see that the clones were Bots/Devices, instead.
    Woo, glad to hear I wasn't the only one.

    *mutters* "The spiders, the spiders, they're all over me! Spiders!"

    Rod is correct--Rularuu himself does not exist in the game, outside of the files.
  12. Even though that is a lower-level arc, and my Crab (who was flashbacked) did not have access to any of his pets...somehow ALL HIS CLONES DID. As the clones start popping out of the woodwork, I eat a few inspirations and prepare to go to work.........and my jaw just dropped as they all started summoning Arachnos disruptors and spiderlings.

    Bug or WAI?

    It's also the sort of thing that tends to crop up after the fact, with a mass experience of people. Yeah, we didn't think to test that--frankly, it's not something we'd regularly encounter. Similarly, the whole fog of war thing not clearing again, as well as souvenirs not awarding any more. There's a reason these are all cropping up almost a month after GR went live.
  14. Just because it's going to be inherent doesn't mean I'm not going to slot it on my characters who use it. I'm not expecting any of my builds to change much, if at all.
  15. This has been happening to me nonstop for the past week or so--glad to know I'm not going crazy.

    My money is on this one^^^. You need Wolf Spiders.

    And much like how no one knew that GR was deep in beta testing, I wouldn't be surprised if I20 was being tested right now.

    This one's more for in-game questions like "How do I get a cape?"

    The really scary tech-heads lurk in the other place.

    It's a dark place.

    And cold. O so cold.
    Except the expected terminology to ask such a question here would generally be, "how i mine for cape?"
  19. Iiiiiinteresting, I'll have to check this out. Nice find.

    Whoa there--Scirocco's Arc is the best story of ALL of them. Followed by Ghost Widow's. In my opinion.
  21. Since I don't drink, everyone else will have to take one for the team and cover me.

    City of Heroes beta, probably, where this idea originated and was scrapped. With prejudice.

Many MMOs have realized how a 24-hour (or multiple of) timer causes this and have reduced their raid lockout or similar timers by 4 hours to accommodate casual players better.

    Simply reducing the timer to 20 hours would allow casual players to participate in the new system each day without giving powergamers an advantage in the system. Even powergamers have to sleep sometime...
    I thought it WAS at 20 hours.
