The first time i entered Fire Base Zulu. I saw loads of soldierboys training. They looked mighty mysterious as I couldnt see their names just a secret number appeared. I thought it was part of the secrecy of the Shadow Shards. Nowadays they are soldiers with names and everything. Still I wish for the magic of the first time and those mysterious people to reappear.

I don't hate Cryptic. I don't hate NCSoft.

I like this game and it is still getting improved as we speak. The new games are yet untested. They could be better they could be a flop. The future will tell.

In the meanwhile I am enjoining this game as it will take many many more months before one of them is ready to be tested.

Ahem, we are supposed to be a NICE community right?

A nice community doesn't start with a flame war the moment a newbie shows up with legitimate concerns. Even if you truly disagree with him. Yes what he said is being discussed many many times before by us. So he is entitled to have his view. If you don't feel like arguing, give him a link to one of the older threats instead.

If somebody is new and says something that makes you feel offended, give him some slack and tell him why you feel offended.

About the OP post.

Yes I am worried as well. But whatever happens in the future, right now i am playing a nice well developed game with developers who try to squeeze every last drop of goodiness out of that 'old' engine. If Cryptic still was the boss, we wouldn't have had any new stuf to play with. Simply because they are more interested in developing new games then to spend effort in making an excisting game better. They would have left a skeleton crew to guard us and this game would have been truly dead right now. Which tells me a lot about what cryptic thinks of their customers.

Your first 50. A good moment for a big congrats!

Nerva? What about Port Oakes, around Marconeville? What about Villa Montrose? I've prowled both these areas and found boss Family.

[/ QUOTE ]

Those are the wrong boss types.

In villains you get two types. The Marcone boys and the ones form the 'Don'. The ones you need for untouchable and therefore the tommygun are the 'Don' types. Those you can only find in Nerva Dock area. Even worse you need to read their description to be sure you get the right ones! They are not common spawns there as well. I get maybe 1 or 2 each hour. So yeah I gave up on that badge.

I am 100% sure villains dont need to do that. I leveled plenty of villains and you need the brokers to get contacts so newspaper missions are essential there.

If they were truly evil yo8 could buy more then the 5 cossie slots per character you have now. Good thing they dont because now i can manage not to pay for more more more.

BTW grats on discovering cossie slots And grats of being at least lvl 20 or rich enough to be the event salvage!

Or the tommygun for a mobtype who can only be recognized by reading his info and appears in exactly 1 single spot on the server.</rant on>

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey that one was great to get; was worth it for the gangster look. Althought the insane impracticality of it since a tommy gun also seems to fire grenades, a flamethrower and missiles. Missed that in the untouchables. :P

[/ QUOTE ]

The tommygun is a great weapon and i goit it on my AR/Dev blaster. But getting it on Hero side is not a problem.

Getting it on the villian side is near impossible unles you fancy a few days hunting in nerva docks for that elusive 1 mob spawn.

You have to go get the radio/latest paper...

[/ QUOTE ]

You are wrong there. Once you have activated the newspaper/radio you dont have to see a broker to activate them in a new zone.

So the only reason to see them is when you do a bank job.

[ QUOTE ]
Maybe if you had the option to turn off double XP you had the option of faster Day Job progression (and vice versa).....?

[/ QUOTE ]

Excellent idea!

BTW as i read it. Log of in a day job area and you wont get double xp. Only those doing On Patrol will have them. So it will be quite easy to avoid actually.

30 days sounds doable to me. After all you will get at least 8 hours each day. And that is assuming you play the rest of the time. So assuming you play maximal 12 hours a day you will get your first badge in 60 days and your second in 120 days with an accolade. It requires some planning but its easily doable.

only one really that i liked in there and that was the Talsorian one then i rembered were i seen it before only in star wars the phantom menace

...and henceforth it will now be known as a Jar-Jar shield.

[/ QUOTE ]

You have to admit. Those Jar-Jar shields were very nice and well done in that movie. One of the redeming features in my book. I can nearly forgive Jar-jar himself for those shields and other smart uses of energy fields use his race was capable of. I liked them. I like the Taltrosian shield as well.

Plus the villain side storyarcs are way more interesting then the hero side storyarcs.

Other things you can do is roleplay (I am still trying to figure that one out myself), go out and PvP other players, collect temporary powers or allways a favorite collect badges! The last one has as benefit that badgehunters like to do Task Forces all the time because they want to have the shiny sparkly badges you get at the end. Of course that rare recipe you get as well is a nice bonus.

Interestin set. Fits nicely with the mindset that CoV does not have true defenders.

So..

Buff ally, buff ally, Fireball!!!!!
Now that is a win win situation. I might give that class a try now.

A save your cossie button

Now that is something that has been requested many times for a QoL thing.

Thanks for listening to us DeV's

I like the new male cossie models. Perhaps it is time to change the tux of my MM a bit. His tux was the height of fashion in 2005 but now it looks a bit dated

Check the third post down in this thread:

An offline costume creator was available for City of Hero (the defunct Korean version), but by best guesses it can't be made available in the US due to issues with Marvel by total [censored].

This is not the US. If it was possible in Korea perhaps its possible in EU? Imagine the fun to find out in every EU country if it is allowed

If you change it from after you have done the first big heist (mayhem mission) you get the phone. But never before that one then I am (reluctantly) in favour.

Even if I think that we should not encourage people to do newspaper jobs all the time.

Maybe after doing one bank mission for them, they'll let you call them for any further ones?

I can live with that. Of course in a new zone you will have to prove yourself again.

Oh yes those audio commercials were very annoying.

Indeed it is about time we get them.

No!

With the exception of the Port Oakes broker. You only have to see him once for each zone. When you go to do the bankjob you dont need him to get the newspapaer missions after all. Is it that much to ask for to visit an NPC once? So I say no. Every contact has the right to be visisted at least once. If only to check you out in person.

Thats faster then I managed to do

Grats.

It was the getting team as an empath that shocked me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Are empaths out of fashion or something?

[/ QUOTE ]

Check out this are empaths useless in the EU thread for the answer.

Summarised. A lot of persons thinkk that Empaths are not seen as a great adititon to a team anymore and its hard to get a team with em. I happen to be one of those persons.

C)

The club is allready used for a villain sided mission. Where all thsoe nice teabagging people like to beat you up. And lets not talk about the statues...

Not sure how they implemented this as a mission area and a non mission area though. But i wouldn't be surprised if this was a bug left over from the fact that it is also a mission map.
