Generalissimo

Pff, that's old news

As much as I enjoyed dragging my tanker around the Shadow Shards on the original SS marathon I'm not finding the game all that enjoyable at the moment so I doubt I'd be up for taking part in the repeat. Have fun with it if you run it though

I gained a few bars on my Grav/Storm controller, got quickly bored and moved to my Spines/Dark scrapper where I gained a bar or so before getting bored again and moving to Battlefield Heroes instead where I shot a bunch of dudes with burning bullets and had a great time.

^ waiting for Going Rogue to see if the spark re-ignites

Howdy all...

As I was making this I couldn't help thinking "is the colour broken on my monitor??"

Custom mobs are a real strength of MA, but using them severely limits what you can do with the story.

I totally agree. I'd love to see what kind of missions people could come up with if they weren't so entirely limited by the number of custom enemies that can be used. I had a diverse range of enemies designed for my custom villain group before I realised how much memory they took up. My villain group of 20+ individuals got slashed to 12 individuals for a 1 mission arc and had to get slashed again to 8 individuals for me to be able to use them in a 3 mission arc (and I still had to sacrifice some story detail to fit in the 8th member). I think my group works well still but I'd love to see people facing them in their original planned diversity. If they changed nothing else about the design of the MA apart from reducing the file size footprint of custom enemy groups I'd await the live release of the issue a happy man. Alternatively increase the current limit and introduce a "low speed internet users beware" warning for larger arcs.

I won't be able to raid but I do have 10 EoEs to pass over to raiders at some stage from Monster hunting tonight.

If I find myself telling someone else about an arc I'm playing then that'll be worth a 5 star rating from me (considering I generally don't pay much attention to the game storyline and rarely feel engaged by the story).

Can't be arsed adding it all up together and translating it to £'s but I've two accounts; one almost at 48 months and one at 36 months. I've bought every booster there is and I've bought 3 physical versions of the game for my first account and 2 digital versions of the game for my second. My largest expense has been buying two Dell computers at various times to play the game which I would never have bought but for the game. I'd say I'd have about 6 grand more in the bank if not for COH. Money well spent I say.

I read a review of the game in the Sunday Times just after launch. I got the ok from my sister to play the game on her computer (my laptop at the time was pretty minimally specced for the game), ordered it, ordered another account and a new computer a few weeks later so we could both play and then dragged my brother in too.

Fun fact: I took part in a naked photo with Barenaked Ladies and 850 other people 3 weeks ago on a cruise ship in the Caribbean - now that would have been an awkward time to ask Ed Robertson if I could touch his awesome button

For the EoE hunt on Friday would you be ok with people who aren't planning on raiding Hami stopping by and joining in the monster hunt?

I almost feel slightly abnormal for being more curious/interested about what's happening than worried/concerned like some others seem to be. I'll cross whatever bridge comes when it comes. Until then it's wait and see.

This'll be great for any solo characters I have that want to take teleport - no more wasted power pick on tp foe or recall friend.

I've completed it - some interesting questions although they were a little obsessed with hippies and paranoia

I have a lvl 30 FF/Dark defender that I used to have a lot of fun playing. On the dark side I focussed on well slotted tentacles and dark pit to take the minions out of the fight. I also used force bolt a lot to keep the heavy hitters out of my face and I took the medicine pool to help heal any damage that did land. I found it quite an active build. I haven't played him in ages because my old computer made teaming become unenjoyable - really must drag him out again now that I've replaced the puter.

Wow, we all must have made a great impression on a new player like yourself

Although your other post does have the hallmarks of... Flush? Thanks for the mention anyways.

How is Oro a good way to get them?
you mean go back and do arcs again?

[/ QUOTE ]

For example, on villain side you get 12 merits for Von Grun's Redemption arc (lvl 45 to 50) which can be done in less than an hour solo. I've not checked out arcs on hero side though.

This is what I'm going for. It's de-lovely!

That's the card I have on my new computer and it is indeed quite lovely.

I won't be able to take part in the next double xp weekend because I'm flying out to Miami that Saturday for a cruise - it's tragic really *cries on the inside*

My original group of alts were all born and raised on Defiant but a while back I got the urge to start playing on Union and most of my time is spent on there now. All my infamy is on Union so I can't see myself ever playing a villain on Defiant but odds are I will still play new heroes on Defiant in the future.

Hang in there and hopefully it'll be resolved soon. It could be worse - US customer service perma-bans accounts that do a chargeback on subscription charges.

Um... for the unintiated, what's a 'brainstorm' and how do I go about making them? Also, what benefits do they have etc etc... never heard of them, and I can't find any info on them.

/e waits for the hillarious comments about spider diagrams...

Base salvage drops were removed from the game with Issue 13. You can convert your existing base salvage into brainstorms and brainstorms can in turn be converted into invention salvage.
