  1. Cool I actually got one. First time I've ever won anything. Thank you City of Heroes for making me feel special!
  2. Very sad, inviting people to an inprogress trial doesn't seem to work yet. Lets hope it'll be fixed on the next patch.

    The people were super powers were on the exterior of the city fighting the Devouring Earth, which is why the DE were able to massacre their way through the center as they did.

    Or so I've heard
  4. The endless cycle repeats.

    Day 1 "the trial is too hard, this is really bad design! My +4/x8 farmer can't breeze through these enemies and I have to think, plan and adapt!"

    Day 7 "so this is how you farm this...why can't we have anything challenging?"

    Silver Mantis

    Did anyone else ever notice that Silver Mantis's initial are S & M?

    I noticed this for the first time during a recent Statesman TF and myself and my team were blown away.

    Explains alot about her dialogue don't it?
  6. Keyes Island just completed, and with a PUG. It was smooth as silk. Go Oldest One and everyone who kicked Anti-Matter around with her on Virtue today!

    Or y'know, everyone getting some green inspirations.
  8. Extra Emp merit a day, several extra ast merits a day, new badges, unlocks both sides of the Incarnate tree at the same time, fun.
  9. I googled Asian Ball Jointed Dolls and was instantly terrified.

    My childhood fear of dolls has returned in full strength.

    I'm going to go huddle in a corner now.
  10. Another way of looking at it is:

    Would these purely cosmetic and fluff additions to the game be even available without the companies ability to make guaranteed money off of them?
  11. Ah ha! I knew the last one had to be somewhere tricky. Thank you. Is there a tricky acid temp power location any knows about?
  12. Ive managed to complete this trial twice now but each time our teams can only find 9/10 of the temp powers, the last always seems to elude me like a super reflex scrapper with a fist full of purples. Is there some trick to where the last glowie is located?
  13. Ive run five trials and only completed one, and boy was I feeling good after smashing in marauders silly face. It was hard and I didn't expect us to pull off that victory, but man was it worth the time!
  14. I am one for five in this raid. The important thing to remind everyone at the beginning is not to expect a victory. Instead remind them at this point the raid is more about earning I XP and threads and learning. People are less likely to get discouraged.

    Personally, however, I'd say;

    #) Dont' for the love of all thats freaking sane, make anymore sodding Reichsman's! Even the blueside one is freaking rediculous to fight. The Redside one with the endless ambushes of cheaty hax death and enforced team-makeups or you FAIL....no. Just NO.

    AVs should be interesting, yes. Rommy does that perfectly. Reichs doesn't. He's a big, fat, annoying cheaty sack of HP and ludicrous godmode attacks that is far more frustration than fun.
    Funny, that's my favorite AV fight in the game.
  16. Aww too bad, I wanted a way to quickly target bosses in mobs with my Rad. Thanks for the help though.
  17. Could anyone help me with a Marco to target the next boss class mob?

    Thank you
  18. Incarnates aren't Gods. They are just individuals who have drawn power from the Well of the Furies. What that power is and where it comes from, we don't yet know.

    Issue 19.5

    Long enough for all hardcore solo oriented players to rage quit.

    Better answer, it's on the test server right now, it doesn't seem that difficult of a feature to test, so I'd guess two weeks.
  20. I'm pretty sure they are saving the Shadow Shard for some kind of big, massive "Rikti War Zone" esque revamp deep into the end game.

    An event so big it could be thought of as a Coming Storm (TM)...
  21. Tested this event twice.

    First time I left I set the Tuatha to running around helping me clear out the winterlings. A few of them survived the assault, then I left them to take down Lady Winter. After a few inspirations and Demonic, I took her down without much trouble.

    2nd time I cleared out the Winterlings without the help of the Tuatha, then set them to running around. I taunted Lady Winter into the Tuatha, and they killed her almost without any of my help, I just had to run in and perform the killing blow. No inspiration or temp power use.

    A non-solo toon like a Defender or Controller could essentially use the Tuatha as their party, keeping them alive through clearing out the map and fighting Lady Winter.

    The point here seems to be strategy rather than running in blindly.
  22. I've seen those people spamming the RMT sites in Local (The fact that they are using local and not broadcast makes me think they are trial accounts). It's been a long time since I've seen any spamming at all. So while though they are annoying, it's kinda a good sign for the general popularity of the game. The RMT's think they can make money off us again.

    Go us.

    :S

    (PS. I'm a glass half full kinda guy)
  23. *Bought*

    I'm kinda happy that they aren't offering powers with these anymore, my tray is cluttered enough with temp powers that I don't use, it's probably for the best they stop tossing more at us. Plus I'm vaguely, and probably irrationally, afraid of a temp power creep...

    But beating up those hugs crowds of 5th Column guys is so fun!

    So, what's left?

    Insect Blast (a variety of villians)/Insect Control (Ant Man would be an example)/Insect Assault (So Doms have something to match it with)
