    Sunday, I got Mo'Cudda (solo/multi-boxed, no one runs villains on guardian), ran my hero alignment mission, and, since I got the two badges from the Cooling arc today, I will have 1223 badges next Sunday when I get "Heard the Call."

    (Try saying all that in one breath!)

    I bet it's really hard while eating cookies!


    And congrats to all
  2. heh, just did a quick check; oldest toon I have that has been offline is only for 2590 days heh....

    He's on Pinnacle.

    Edit:

    But I remember seeing either on my account or my friend's account where the offline day tracker was way off, like had a toon that had 8k days offline heh.
  3. Might want to check out the Earth Assault powerset. It's available only to Dominators (I think). It's a fun set
  4. I'm glad my toon in a cavern mission was able to help out!
  5. Very nice I have a few toons that I haven't touched since I made them years ago....wonder what the oldest (untouched) toon I have is....

I just need to know at the client which one to click and at character copy... which one to click. easy right? one would think! lol
    You want the Going Rogue beta server on the copy webpage...same thing as the "BETA" on the NCsoft launcher
  7. I'm at work so I have a lvl 6 blaster that's afk in a mission in Kings Row right now! (unless network connection dropped ) I'm all set! Come on badge!

    I'm betting that wormhole won't work against him to move him about and every other control power will be counter to the overall trial. You won't want him slowed down, immob, held, disoriented, confused, slept and certainly not phased. This pretty much is counter to what controllers and dominators do reducing their overall function. Its a potential concern.

    I'm guessing there will be other mobs to lock down/defeat so that you don't have to worry about AM....*shrugs* we'll see.

    Can we at least wait to test it once or twice before we ragequit/complain how it will kill MMs?

    Did you know you can get more acids from the chambers that spawn outside in the courtyard?


    Now maybe it's cause people on Liberty are awesome () but having all 10 doors open now it doesn't matter for the runs I've been on. Spawns can be (and will be) judged.

    Usually on Lambda runs there is about 2 doors/portals still open....if it's less than 4 I don't even bother to wait and say, "take out the doors!"

    Heh, in fact the last Lambda I was on, there were 2 doors left and the leader said, "we need to take them out." I said something to the effect of, "it's only 2..." and this is while we were fighting Marauder and he was down to like 20 or so HP (20/100). Leader said, "I've failed because we had 2 open." But about 1 min. later Marauder died...

    Again, not saying it's not possible that the adds swarmed them or whatever but...*shrugs* I don't see it as a challenge/worry anymore.

    .

    Only reason I haven't done a Lambda in a while is because usually people don't want to do it because of lag (dc) issues....sad because I like doing lambda for the most part.

    Except for the whole "only 2 trials to do run over and over again" crowd that want something new to do.


    You could apply what you said to almost any new content that came out after Issue 1.

    Why did they do x in Issue 3? It all unlocks XP and not needed...

    And this....


    I for one "hate" running 14 BAFs (or so) to unlock the Judgement and Lore slots whereas I only need to run about 4-8 Lambdas (again, rough estimate) to unlock both the Interface and Destiny slots.

    If the KIR can give more than 10-15% iXP per run towards Judgement/Lore, I'm all for it!


    Plus more badges for my badger!

    I've been working with Support on this for weeks, and nothing that has been suggested or tried has worked.

    I got 60+ fps until I get a WHOLE bunch of players on the screen or I get into a league that starts pushing 24+ people... then my framerates can drop below 1FPS.

    I'm going to try that MSE exclusion this evening and see if it helps, but since I already have chat logging off, I don't honestly see why it would help.

    Just FYI, but if you're in a league doing an MSR or an Incarnate Trial....everyone gets lag (well; at least in certain parts of trials). I know for me MSRs are just absolutely horrid with lag. I really don't even like doing them because of the lag.

    The BAF trial mainly has lag during the escapee phase.

    I don't have much lag with the Lambda trial; although if people do have issues; it's usually in the warehouse map(s).


    I will say, updating my video card drivers, adding the exlusion(s) to MSE and having CoH in a separate partition (on the same physical hard disk) seemed to solve my issues for the most part. I still have random crashes (even when watching youtube videos in Firefox sometimes and nothing else going on) but....they are quite random....as far as I can tell.


    I do have chats logged still...

    I had no idea what a powerlevel was so I though that missions with lowbies teamed with high levels forced low levels to stand next to the war wall. We just stood around and chatted till someone said, "exit."

    A few days later, when I was invited to a team, I ran over to the war wall and just stood there thinking that what I did a few days earlier was how the game was played.

    About a minute later, the team leader asked in chat, "Umm.. where'd the tank go?" Having no clue that a tank was actually supposed to tank, I replied, "I'm hugging the wall. Where is everyone else?"

    30 seconds later I was kicked from the team.

    Suffice to say, I learned pretty fast how the game really was meant to be played. :P

    haha, I agree with what TonyV said...hilarious but...obviously not a good way to be introduced into the game

    That'll be nice, I'm "tired" of running the BAF over and over again (12-16 times) to unlock the Judgement/Lore slots; whereas 3 or so (maybe 4-6 runs each) Lambda runs and Interface and Destiny are unlocked
  18. Very cool! Too bad I'll be at work I wonder what it'll be like

    So Firefly...

    Yes, welcome!

    I never heard of Firefly until a co-worker/friend told me about it. I got the DVDs before the movie came out and watched 'em. Great show (and my dad really liked 'em too)....movie was good too but....obviously not great (since it killed too many peeps! ).
  20. Yeah I was thinking along the same lines you guys were thinking of; the Doctor clone is the one that gets shot/etc....


    But we'll see....overall I wasn't too impressed by the show...kind of boring/meh to me....


    Maybe that was because I was tired (more than usual)....but...
  21. I don't have any problems with the incarnate powers in the 'normal' content. Heck that's how I got my MoLRSF. Most 'badgers' (at least whenever I'm available on Liberty) have scrappers as toons....yeah...that's great but not the best when we need debuffs (or holds/etc)....

    But after 3 attempts (2 silly deaths) a bunch of lvl 50+ Incarnates got the MoLRSF badge. Hooray for Destiny buffs (among other things)!

    Heck, I've wanted the other 2 lvl shifts to apply to normal content too....ah well


    Edit:

    Oh and slainsteel, I know I was a part of a LGTF that did it in 23 minutes. To be honest I don't remember if it was a Mo or not...but...even if it wasn't..I don't think anyone died (can't remember).

  23. Hello,

    So today I am solo'ing my lvl 46 KM/Nin. Stalker a bit and doing Black Scorpion's 3rd arc (first one when you hit 45+).

    The mission I'm on now is the "Raid Portal Corp" mission. This is where you disable 4 computers and blow up 4 portals. This is the one where some Longbow spew out of the portals when you start attacking the portals.

    So anyways, I hit Build Up + Assassin's Strike to start taking out the portal...except I miss. Okay no big deal right? I've missed with AS before. So I take out the Longbow that comes out of the portal and then work on the portal slowly. I noticed that I've missed with AS 4x in a row on the one portal.


    So I went to the next portal...BU + AS and still miss....now that's 5x...hmmm...I ask in a global channel just to see if anyone else had the issue and no one has.

    I check my combat logs and add the ToHit Rolls chat to it. I again do BU + AS and I see the ToHit Roll for BU and when I use AS on the portal...there is no tohit roll at all and I miss the portal again.

    Every other power I use has a tohit roll against the portal and I'm able to hit it....but Assassin's Strike just does not work.


    I have /bugged this in game but wanted to post this here too. Anyone else notice this?
  24. On one LGTF run (not a speed but a defeat all in the way but not a complete defeat all run) I got 9 shards.

    The next LGTF I ran (same type of defeat all in the way) I got 5 shards....yep, random is random.
