    Wow, I really like that.

    You might want to sew some belt loops on those pants though.

    This was my number 1 complaint about the trial. Two of us got the trial together and we ended up waiting outside each other's mission doors street sweeping until they were finished. It wasn't good or fun.

    Luckily I was able to call my son the next day and have him reactivate his account. With the 3 of us, one on a real account, we were finally able to experience the team environment.

    Of course, knowing what I know now I should have asked any of the people under the Atlas statue, around Ms Liberty, or inside the City Hall for help. But I barely knew how to communicate back then and was frankly intimidated by all the strangers running around me (I had never been in an MMO before). I had no way of knowing then that 90% of the players in this game are just good folks who'll bend over backwards to help a new person. I'm sure if you ask you'll find someone that will gladly invite you both into a team then drop so you guys can go explore together.
  3. Something that isn't an Ouroboros SF and preferrably something that doesn't fight Longbow or Arachnos.

    I have no specific suggestions but it seems very odd to have this big gap in the middle of the villain-side content.
  4. Move me from try to definite. See you guys Saturday.

    Actual deities don't get faceplanted by Hellions at level six and try to scrape up enough influence to buy endurance enhancing trinkets.
    Heh... same but Chinese river dragon for me. She may know the secret of immortality and be on a first name basis with the celestial Emperor, that that doesn't make her a goddess.

    My dark tank Shadowguardinal came from another game where she was an actual Guardinal (celestial angel-like being), but in this game she's just a human. I don't expect that to change.

    Those are the only two I have that come even close aside from a couple carrying around magical artifacts said to hail from the gods (but who really knows?).

    I imagine I'll treat the incarnate system as a way to grow more in power without any supernatural explanations - like everything else in the level-up process. But we'll see when it comes out.
  6. I'm going to try and be there this week with my level 30 Widow, Amycinae.
  7. I prefer to play in a world that is complete to the point that it's flexible for player needs while providing plenty of fodder for a variety of characters to develop in.

    I think CoH hits the mark pretty well.
  8. Strange... I could have sworn I'd responded to this already back on page one but...

    My guess is for November 16th, the Tuesday after the yet-to-be-announced Double XP weekend.
  9. I had Heroes on page 1 and Villains on page 2 but I've recently overflowed on heroes so they are sort of mixed up right now with a couple of heroes and a Praetorian under my short list of villains on page 2.

    That's on Justice. My Protector list is short enough they all fit on page one with a blank slot between heroes and villains.
  10. Almost everyone changes, if nothing else to get an aura at 30th level. A few have had tweaks as early as 3rd level, a very few never get changed except for an aura or adding a cape. Most get major refits throughout their lives.

    Golden Avariel has gone through DRASTIC changes from my first tentative steps into Atlas Park and now. She looks nothing like she did back then (when I didn't know you could turn off the two-color lock :P).

    I 19

    I'm hoping it's the Tuesday after a soon-to-be-announced double-xp weekend - the 16th of November.

    ToT issue

    It does make tanking for a ToT team challenging when an early taunt is completely ignored but waiting too long is just as bad. Thank goodness that auras work just standing in front of the door although not as well as a taunt.

    The really bad part is that they don't all become vulnerable at the same time. It seems pretty common to have werewolves charging the knocker straight out from inside the door before everything else was even spawned yet.

    But I agree it is probably WAI. Anyone that wants to knock should put up with a little bit of risk, even in a team.
  13. Thanks Elf, I'll keep you in mind.

    Thanks Pum... I knew you could come up with something useful if I tried harder.

    I'm organizing my coalition. We can only put together a couple of full teams but we could provide maybe a half-dozen competent team captains with support instead. Most of us belong to both channels so I'm sure we can get some recruits when the time comes but that's a lot of bodies to try and secure at the spur of the moment. Anyone that thinks they can put together a team in advance speak up. I'll give out more details closer to time but it will almost certainly be sometime Saturday the 6th in the evening (U.S. time).

    I thought the ships could be slowed? No? Then is there any reason to have more than buffers and damage with as many rads (or whatever) debuffing as possible?
  14. Thanks DR and Elf but there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest.

    I can't imagine it would be that difficult a thing. You just need to know the flight paths and get in with lots of flying folks who do lots of damage to intercept the drop ships as soon as they appear, preferrably on one of the longer sides to give you plenty of time.

    I would think the hardest part is organizing that many people to hold together long enough to get in at the beginning of an event in an optimal zone for the attempt. That's the part I couldn't do. I have a hard time trying to organize a single team for a monster hunt when it's standing right in front of me.
  15. Does anyone know for sure that Superior Conditioning serves to pre-req Physical Perfection? I'm thinking the wiki just hasn't been updated yet.
  16. Level 28 SK'd to a 38 in Brickstown. 2.5 hours of play, no costumes... but then I only got 4 treats all night too.
  17. Nerva doesn't seem to go all the way to 40th. My level 38 stalker was unable to ToT there this morning. I popped around the main islands but never found a door that would open.

    Luckily St. Martial worked fine. I alternated between the 4 double doors near Vanguard and made a killing.
  18. Running it for the first time on a tank I decided the you-know-what ambushes were never going to end so I left one of them alive. It followed me all over the mission doing little 10 point bops to me once in a while so no big deal. After the end boss reward I went ahead and killed it. Imagine my surprise when I only got one more ambush.
  19. Any chance someone might want to organize a Drop Ship event that weekend? I'd love to help take one down but I have no idea what's involved.

    Halloween Mobs

    Seem the same as last year and I complained about them then. Obviously they aren't going to change so my ranged characters will be force to either leech off the melees or team up to ToT... just like last year.
  21. No, I think it's just fairly rare and you got lucky with the second character.

    It doesn't help that there are always more tricks than treats and the tip only drops as a treat. I support the idea that the tips should drop from both treats and creatures... although I have no idea how that would effect the dropping of regular tips from those same creatures.

    I did get to bag Jack in Irons in Brickstown though so that was good. (thanks for helping DR and everyone else that might be here in the forums).
    Got on this morning to do maintenance on that character. On a whim I put on the Crey Agent costume and clicked a door... Tip. LOL

  24. I never get tired of Frostfire.

    Or the Eden Trial.

    Also the first time I ran...
    final mission of the Wheel of Destruction. Huge and a timer to boot! It didn't occur to us back then that we could simply fly around to the objectives... we fought our way through the whole thing defeating the final boss with 5 minutes to spare.

    final mission vs the Envoy of Shadows. Epic fight!

    the TV Respec. The absolutely toughest thing I've ever tried and failed... we were so young and dumb back then.

    the final mission of the Tarikoss SF. Map was... wow... I still enjoy that mission.

    the final mission of the Mender Lazarus TF... I don't actually remember much about the mission except for that final room. Epic.

    Auto demotions.

    Agree it seems buggy sometimes. I lost the star on our Protector SG the other day. I know the days is set to 45 and I know I've never let Justice Fencer go longer than a couple of weeks without playing. I have no idea why I got replaced. Luckily it is just my wife and I in that group so it doesn't matter.
