    But if they went quietly, it wouldn't be a nerdrage quit, would it?

    That's entirely a value judgment and one that I happen to disagree with. Yes, all events have an effect on the market. I don't consider any of them as 'screwing it up'. Some people like variety.

    I Hate St0n3y

    You could have spelled it Stoni and seemed European.
  4. I don't use Mids. On my inv/EM, I took all the primary powers, added Tough, and IO'ed him for +regen (300%). He's pretty darn tough and regen is an easy bonus to get so it was dirt cheap (under 30 million, not counting the +regen uniques which I had lying around).
  5. Zloth has a stickied thread of things to do/try.

    In this post, he links to two useful programs, CoH Helper and HijackThis

    CoH Helper would be a good start as it will list a bunch of key items. For example, how much RAM you have, which would be my first question based on your problem.
  6. You can also get the bow and sword in Safeguard missions, from the Weapons Deal side mission. The sword is called a Claymore and there are a TON of other cool powers - the IR Goggles, Flamethrower, Shotgun, etc, etc.

    The only downside is that, if the random roll picks a temp power you already have, you get nothing.

    Purple Drops

    If it gives you more enemies to defeat, then yes. The ONLY factor is how many enemies you defeat. As long as they are high enough to drop a lvl 50 recipe, it doesn't matter if they are 49, 50, 51, 52, whatever.

    I Hate St0n3y

    I wouldn't say that I hate him. . . just that anyone who writes his name in leet needs to be slapped a few times.

  10. Most of my tanks are lean on attacks. I generally put a Nucleolus Exposure (acc/dmg HO) in Brawl. The lone exception is my invuln, who has 2 pieces of Pounding Slugfest for the +regen bonus (he already had 5 of every higher ranked regen bonus).

    Hardly likely. How many....
    1) people are going to play CO and...
    2) buy lifetime subscriptions and...
    3) be such big babies?

    It would be even better if there was some way to 'pay in pennies'.

    OMG! Striga is full of cool temp powers. There's also the War Wolf Whistle and the Holy Shotgun Shells.

    To be accurate, Disney didn't change the law. That was done by contemptible, for-sale, slimeballs in our government.

    Or unprecedented hoarding.

    Still, I'm up for any excuse to run more TF's. As I recall, I did nine last Double XP Weekend.

    Also, can you be more specific than "look terrible"? Even better, could you post a screenshot? A picture is worth 10,000 words.

    Your power tray, through? I looks like you just took a big handfull of powers and tossed them at the wall to see how they would stick.
    You should talk! Your screenshot had Rest, Pocket D Teleporter, Ouroboros Portal, GvsE Jump Pack.... all that junk clogging up limited screen space.

    Anything that all my characters have goes in a keybind.

    Six. You only need six dimensional anchors. You'll have more than 6 rooms, because not all rooms can hold an anchor.

    They generally run away when it crashes.

    No.
    It's all relative. 'Back in the day', people would sometimes have to respec and sell back old SO's in order to afford the new ones. With the invention system, most people are rolling in money. The purpose of respecs is not to facilitate hoarding and wealth-building.

    Axe or Mace?

    This.

    I posted the EXACT same question (and the search tool can't find it). The consensus seemed to be that mace was maybe a teensy bit better. But concept was also a factor so I went with axe.
