only if we also get /bombardmoney
which naturally throws coins AT people.

[/ QUOTE ]
I"ll sign this if I can throw ROLLS of coins. Now THAT would hurt!

And knowing is half the battle.

Some people never cared. Some have always paid attention to it. I'm the top earner in my SG and another one where I'm a member. I'm in the top 5 in a couple others. Now that you always earn at leave 50% influence, and with invention drops, influence just rains down on us. All but one of my toons are in SG mode at all times. (I don't have all the influence badges on my badge-hunter.)

Wow. Did team two break wind or something? Everyone hates us?

I'm not sure which I drink more often. It's either Diet Coke or iced tea.

[ QUOTE ]
If you are solo, you can get 1 rep per defeat of a single target/team per 10 minutes (you can defeat others for rep sooner), +5 rep if they are 20 or more rep above you, and the decay rate is 0.2 rep a day.

[/ QUOTE ]
I wish it were so. The rate of decay for rep is .1 rep PER HOUR, with a maximum of 2 per day. (From a guy who farmed Disruptor twice.)

[ QUOTE ]
In short. You're wrong. PERIOD.

Now go be insulting to someone who gives a damn about your opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]
FYI, you're not the only one who thinks he's 1) splitting semantic hairs, and 2) wrong.

Time isn't a unit of measurement. It's an abstract noun. Minutes, hours, days months and years are units of measurement that measure time. Just like acres and hectares measure land. Time is very sellable. TV and Radio stations sell time on their station to advertise whatever the buyer wants.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, they're not selling time. They're selling the service of broadcasting those ads. And time is measurement, minutes, etc are just sub-categories. Time is to minutes as distance is to miles.

[/ QUOTE ]
They're selling the service of broadcasting the ads. The fee they charge is based on the DURATION of the ads; i.e. how much TIME it takes to broadcast them. Price are often stated in terms such as "30 seconds during half-time".

[ QUOTE ]
Hey, thanks for being completely dismissive, Iron. Implying I'm a paranoid is a lot more useful than actually offering personal experience and insignt.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, isn't claiming that an individual or small group are being singled out for subpar or malicious treatment pretty much the definition of paranoia? As for personal experience: I just got my 4 year vet badge and I've gotten 8 or 9 purple drops. This, of course, has zero bearing on what anyone else has received or is likely to receive.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm forced to wonder, with all the time I've invested in CoX, and all the money I've spent on my subscription, why have I only recieved two rare recipe drops in 46 months? I've made note of my "bad luck" and have had several discussions about it with people more "lucky" than myself. I've also met a few others who have "luck" similar to mine and noticed the common thread is that our accounts originated in the earliest issues of CoH.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, this is certainly a new conspiracy theory. No need to put 'luck' in quotes. There's no sinister plot against you.

As for finding others with "luck" similar to yours; you specifically went looking for people with the same opinion and you found them. Not much 'luck' involved there.

Seen it a few times - anywhere from 0 to 6 people crash on exit. Manticore seems to be the worst.

[ QUOTE ]
for the primary - i want a primary that can tank every task force in the game without major issues that isnt stone.

[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
if it's a resist primary, it has to be able to deal with large spawns of all dmg types.

[/ QUOTE ]
Despite the much-mentioned 'psi hole', I have yet to find anything I can't handle with my invuln. I've tanked the Malaise and Mother Mayhem missions/AV's and Lord Recluse in the STF.

I've only used dark armor on a scrapper, but suspect it might fit your requirements also.

I have yet to try any really hard stuff on a defense based tank. Not after doing the ITF with my invuln with the combat monitor running and watching the Cimerorans get him down to -100 base defense. So I can't really evaluate def-based sets for the tough stuff.

I know. I'm such a bad person. I have a macro auto-reply that says, "NO, YOU CAN'T JOIN OUR TEAM, NOOB!!! JUST BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW YOU, LOSER!!!"


[/ QUOTE ]
Gee Ironblade, those who don't know you might actually think you are serious!!

[/ QUOTE ]
Okay, I really don't have a macro like that, but I don't do PUG TF's. I'll do PUG teams - in fact, I did a PUG team in Faultline the other night and invited one of the team members to my SG.

But no PUG TF's unless it's a really short one. I can suffer through a Katie TF with a bad team but a Positron TF with a bad team is not to be considered.

wont be a issue 16 this year

going rogue will bite that bullet for us..hope you dont get your hopes up cause this is the only issue were getting this year


ill bet money on it.

[/ QUOTE ]
When you say "the only issue", you actually mean "the second issue", right?
(Issue 14 was released April 8th.)

How hard is it to find Rularuu brutes red-side? They hit with one massive attack with about a 10 second recharge. They're what I used for all the damage badges (blue-side, where you can get infinite repeatable missions with them).

Is it possible that a boss hit you with the 'Curse of Weariness'? It's a pretty debilitating power - bad enough that you can craft a cure (Nectanebo's Curse Breaker) in the Vanguard base. I recall getting hit by it, and using the cure, but have no clue whose arc it was in.

edit: And Reverand_Clint beats me because I didn't refresh the page before replying.

When ever i have SS on my power thing says i have minus threat lvl and i kinda of want to know what the hell that is.

[/ QUOTE ]
For the most part, you can think of it as another stealth effect. Technically it isn't, but you're only likely to have an issue with that technicality in PvP. Stacking stealth+SS gives you full invisibility. It's better than Invisibility from the power pool because it doesn't make you "Only Affecting Self", but it's nowhere near as good as what Illusion Control gets.

Some of the stealth effects do not stack with each other but, since SS is 'technically' not stealth, it stacks with all of them.

[/ QUOTE ]

-Threat and and stealth have nothing to do with each other. Not in the way you are indicating.

[/ QUOTE ]
orly? So you're saying they don't combine for effective invisibility?

[ QUOTE ]
You must be doing them with your circle of friends. omg so greedy and selfish of you and your friends to hog all the TFing. For shame. Kirby is disappointed at you <(v_v)>

[ QUOTE ]
well, I'm not new to tankers, I just need a new one, I've got a late 30s fire/stone and a late thirties stone/ice if that helps.

[/ QUOTE ]
Definitely narrow your search to ice armor or shield defense, since you have not done a defense based tank yet.

As for your secondary.... if you go shield, take a secondary with a self heal. If you go ice.... ice is pretty much self-contained. I have a 50 ice/SS and ice is really well-equipped. You have a +HP power, an END recovery power and a panic button power. Shield does have a different feel to it (my shield tank is 36) and it has some pretty serious offensive power in the primary. If you want to focus on damage output, shield would be good.

Not entirely sure, but I believe there were several laws bent, stretched, and flat-out broken to prosecute him...

I think his prosecution was pretty straightforward, unlike more recent ones involving the RICO laws.

If I bought the AE Edition online, do I get a link to download the AE Edition ISO? Is there any other way to acquire the disc than actually finding a physical copy of it being sold?

[/ QUOTE ]
1. No. You just get a code to apply to your account.
2. Do you have a DVD burner?

I hit my -seventh- character on Justice who has earned Task Force Commander accolade.(*)

That was when I Did Numina with my L49 warshade Admiral Kremmin and a random pug team, was pretty good.

Is that Kremmin of Star Corps?

[ QUOTE ]
so the defense cap for a shield is 45 percent is what you are saying, but in mids the build i have its at 60 percent, are we on the same page ?

[/ QUOTE ]

no matter how much defense you have, no mob will ever go below a 5% chance to hit you. 45% is the soft cap - it puts all mobs even av's at that 5%

[/ QUOTE ]
AV's have a higher minimum odds to hit. I believe it's 7.5%.

ugh... You get that ruler behind you on the creation screen but not at the tailor. I can come up with a time-consuming workaround. Take the first character to Atlas Park (or Galaxy City) and stand next to a landmark, like the trainer. Take a screenshot if you need to.

Create a new toon with the blank costume and make note of the height on that ruler in the background. Then go to the same zone and stand next to the same landmark. Repeat until you get the right height.

I can't think of an easier way offhand.
