  1. I predict a long and healthy life for this thread based on teh lulz factor alone.

    Oh.

    DUH.

    That whole word "Mayhem" should have clued me in a bit, huh?

    Well, at least the wiki page I linked contains this sentence: "Villains can get a Raptor Pack in Grandville, in front of the Lord Recluse statue, near Arbiter Apolis. Villains of any level can make a purchase, as long as they have the infamy to pay for it."

    Thanks for pointing that out LKN_351.
  3. Also, keep in mind that going through doing Safeguards now solely for the transport power isn't as pressing, as any toon of any level can now go to Firebase Zulu and purchase a jetpack from the vendor there.

    Personally, I prefer purchasing the temp jetpack from the vendor in FBZ at whatever level I want over having to set up and run Safeguards. YMMV.

    Northern Lights. And boy, are they annoying for squishies (I didn't even know they were there on my /Invul Scrapper, but on my 'Troller I sure did!).

    The friends you can make in game.

    The people you can team with.

    That I can PM Castle and say, "Hey, what about...?"

    Or request a costume piece from Jay.

    Everyone on the forums.

    It's the people.
    OMG get outta my head DB!!!

    Probably the "Suggestions and Ideas" forum would actually be a better choice...

    Same here, Munki (and anyone else jammed up for extra toon slots) -- since I play exclusively on Victory, I have tons of open slots on every other server. Feel free to hit me up (@EricNelson) in-game if you need any help!

    To be fair, there are quite a few players who enjoy soloing as their main gameplay experience, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm sure they have every bit as much fun as others who team regularly. To each their own.

    This.

    CoX has always placed more emphasis on buffing (preventative) rather than healing (after the fact). With the wide array of great buff powers available (Sonic, Cold, FF, etc.), healing just isn't really very useful (ironically, however, the Emp buffs are great).

    Hit me up in game sometime and we can try to plan a mstf for this weekend.
    Yeah, this is the man that can get that badge for you without having to move!

    I can bring a shielder or whatever if this happens when I'm on this weekend, always happy to help out another new "Master of" badgeholder!

    Finally!

    Congrats, and welcome to the club!
  15. The ability to easily "see" your reputation within your User CP was removed by the devs a short while back in large part because of some abuse of the system.

    I'm pretty sure you CAN target it (just not cast anything as far as I'm aware).
  17. I believe it's also purchaseable from the Candy Keeper (5 Candy Canes, 10 influence/infamy).
  18. Congrats on the new-found ebilness!

    That's wrong on so many levels. A good deed is a good deed for one or many. It's simply a non-event for others (or should be -- I can't figure out why you're getting so bent out of shape over something that you can simply not utilize).

    And what "significant number of the paying customers!" are you saying this isn't a good deed for?

    And now (for a short time, anyway), the transfer is free of charge!

    I'm sure there is a keystroke like /release_pets_all or something, but I just click-dismiss.
    I do the same exact thing, DB (but mostly because I'm a crotchety old man, and I just get pissed at people using my workbench without the courtesy of a "May I..." ), but note that others CAN use any portable workbench deployed -- in fact, that's sorta the point to it, being able to pop it out during a long TF or something, and have you and teammates craft up some stuff if desired.
  23. Wow...and yet AGAIN we see that no good deed (by the devs) goes unpunished...

    Geez, it's FREE, guys! If you don't want it or can't get any use out of it, then don't use it and you're no worse off than you were yesterday!
