The OP's requirement reductions are way too much, the current requirements are slightly too high, and the accolade power itself is far too underwhelming.

Considering that the curve would be carefully weighted, I don't think getting from 6 to 10 would trigger it unless you got all of those levels within the span of a single mission, maybe.

Also note that I didn't say you'd stop getting XP altogether.

You might just want to try waiting it out, if you haven't already.

I get pretty terrible start-up times on CoH, and I get the exact same problem as you. In about a minute, it should show the log-in screen background, then in another couple seconds show you the actual log-in panel.

AE Farming Curb idea: Diminishing XP returns? You can only play in the AE for so long in a particular timespan and earn so much XP before you start being penalized.

Theoretically, this shouldn't affect most story-oriented players, who are used to getting slightly skewed rewards anyway (and likely aren't reaching farmer-level XP/hour), while potentially frustrating farmers.

Bugger, so I have to pay for the Valk pack just to get those swords?

In short, yup. There are the Scimitars or Rapier, but they're not quite the same.

As an aside, I really wish Dual Blades got the Arabian Scimitar that Broadsword gets...

Well, despite the death knight being completely, irredeemably OP, people still play the game, and seem to get along [ to continue playing it] fine, do they not? That's why I bring up the point. It wasn't as though adding the DK caused some sort of player fallout of an apocalyptic scale to the game, so much as some complaining and nerf bat swinging.

Being shot in the arm won't kill you, but that doesn't mean that being shot in the arm doesn't suck.

Whereas in Alpha CoH, the Phalanx HQ was City Hall.

Ironically, the only people who would be able to constantly afford such an absurd and pointless cost would be the farmers.

I've always assumed Energy Aura to already be "Kinetic Armor". I don't see the point of making a near-identical set.

Name: Paragon Youth Corps

Currently Recruiting: Always looking for new members, coalitions with other teen groups.

RP Level: RP-intensive, but OOC chat is alright.

PvP Level: Almost zero - we only PVP for story purposes.

Theme/Concept: You've heard it all before - we're your standard teen group. We're self-managed, and have a laid back attitude.

Activity: We currently only have a small number of active members, but activity is semi-daily, and can be somewhat sporadic. Weekends are the best for more intensive RP/events.

Requirements for Membership: Your character must be a teen. (Though this rule is stretched a bit - we accept up into the 20s.)

Leadership: Assembled Girl, Psykera

In-Game Contact: @IanTheM1

Out-of-Game Contact: IanTheM1 (PMs preferred - I check the boards more often than I check my global messages.)

URL: VirtueVerse and Our Forums

Coalitions: Several other established teen groups. Some are less IC than others.

Other Details: We have a fully-functional and RP-accommodating base. We have no prestige goals/requirements, the base is effectively complete.

I find it a bit funny that my badge-collecting days ended right around I9, primarily because we got more badges.

I'd like more emotes in general and more sitting emotes too, but what I want first are for females to get the same sitting emotes as the male models do.

I'm pretty sure powers can be specifically coded to shut off when the player is in "Arena" mode, I'm fairly certain Vet Powers do this, for one.

And give us a blank SG logo. Many of us don't want to have them displayed on our floor plates or windows.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd rather they just let you choose the logo after selecting the object. That way you don't have to play games with switching your actual SG logo.

I think it should be perma, really. I'm tired of accolade powers that are only marginally useful yet have 30 minute recharge times.

That way PVPers have a nice new goal to strive for, and can finally have their private fight clubs right inside PVP zones.

Arena Kiosk idea = awesome.

Recharge bonus idea = not so awesome.

The snipe fails in such situations because the constantly refreshing suppression field debuff interrupts it, fyi.

And rest and a stalker's assassin strike and others.

Actually, Assassin's Strike works ever since they made it un-interruptible by debuffs.

If you examine the bill board you'll see it's sectioned, like those "rotating" billboards you see around cities. I suspect this billboard will be animated at some point and shift between three different signs.

That's been there since launch, AFAIK. I've always been bugged by its motionlessness.

I don't know if this is new, but It's something I noticed today I never noticed before.

The door from Talos into Dark Astoria. Now has "Dark Astoria" written on the very top where the stone is.

[/ QUOTE ]

Always been like that. Back in I3 they revamped Hazard Zone doors to have the names listed on those blue signs rather than paint the name up top where nobody could see. For whatever reason, the Talos-Dark Astoria door (but not the Dark Astoria-Talos door) was missed.

Of course, I'm far more bothered that the signs, in most cases, show the "nickname" of the zone rather than the real name. Baumton not Boomtown.

"Like adding more SG base items, more tailoring items and new faces, More world events, revamping "dead" zones into something new like what they did in Faultline, even something as simple as changing the movie theatre marquis from the old "5th column and Council"

Next time,take the time required to read a little more.I listed very simple and easy ideas from these forum over the years.

[/ QUOTE ]

The only simple or easy thing about the majority of those ideas is how simple and easy it is to demand them.

Patches have always taken longer to apply than to download for me.

Also, Tri-gun was a pretty cool show.

Tri-gun was a pretty cool guy.

Jack Emmert stated back in the day that Paragon is an alternate universe Providence, RI.

I'm just going to politely laugh, and await the delicious lockings.

How about...capes?

Edit: *shakes fist*

Not the best example, as many of the posts were lost due to the closing of the I14 beta boards, as well as a few interviews possibly missing from the homepage (or my memory failing), but here's Positron saying a bit about that.
