Justice Blues

No, I did not know this. Glad for ignorance dispersal, sad that there aren't more rewards in the UG trial. OTOH, it was still a fun trial and I will be glad to run it again. Of course, I say the same thing about Keyes.

I would still choose the UG for crafting though. I have gotten from 14 to 17 threads each run. That is more than I have gotten out of running 3 BAFs back to back with the same league and minimal downtime. Yes I also got the component rewards from the BAFs, but at the end of 3 of them, both my computer and I were tired of running on teams for the night. (3 runs of anything in a row is pretty much my limit.) Running the 2 Undergrounds back to back wasn't tiring and it didn't feel repetitive because it is so much more varied than the BAF/Lambda. And I was still up for other trials. So the multiple BAFs are more efficient, but much less fun. And if it isn't fun, I have other things to do.

While I want my character to get T4s, I am not in any hurry. So if I get 3 or 4 different trials a day, I am getting the stuff I need but I am not getting burned out running the trials too much. And if I take a day off from running them, I don't feel like I am getting behind. And when they get the Signature arcs in, I will pick up threads or Astrals from those to help myself along until the solo path is added. But I only have 1 level 50. I am not surprised you are wanting more faster.

Yeah, but it also means you don't have to use Sauder furniture any more either. Might be worth it.

Yes, that is straight from the show. B.E.M. I believe. The alien just escaped from one of those cages.

The Slaver Weapon was written by Larry Niven. Introducing the Kzinti to the ST universe. They were then taken and seriously warped in Star Fleet Battles. The designers kept insisting that the animated stuff wasn't canon in their universe but never did explain how they got to use the Kzinti without including The Slaver Weapon.

I believe my geek is showing. Excuse me.

The ones that want a challenge are playing their purpled-out peacebringers.

Or maybe, they figure that since they told people that purchased the Collector's Edtions that those items would be exclusive to those editions and not available any other way, they should stick with that. You know. Keep their word to their customers.

Go down to general discussions and look at the All Things Art thread. Massive amounts of people asking for just that. And some good responses from Noble Savage about it.

Let me tell you man, you do not know what you are missing. It is a real experience. Especially once the FBI HRT showed up. Maybe I should have shaved my beard.

I was having the same issue and tried logging out last night. When I logged back in today, it had updated my last time on the forums to when I logged out. If I just leave, it doesn't change my last time, even though I have to log in again when I come back.

The first Underground I ran, I got 3 components. 2 commons at the end plus the Rare on the Reward table. Second one I got 2, an uncommon and a common on the Reward table. The last one was a Rare at the end and an uncommon on the Reward table.

I might have missed it, but I have never noticed any extra components dropping in the other Incarnate Trials, so assuming that the extras are WAI, comparing 2 BAFs to 1 Underground looks like the Underground is a better payoff in components, Astrals, and threads (The least threads I have received is 14.)

MMs and Controllers depends on the level of Premium he is. They are unlocked when he has completed Tier 5, which is 13 tokens. If he doesn't have that level or doesn't want to wait, he needs to purchase them. The Epics are purchase only.

Wait, you are saying that during the creation of the character, you checked the name and reserved it, then when you were finished with the creation you tried entering AP and the name was taken? You didn't check another name or leave the character creator during that time did you? Because if that is what happened, then it was not WAI.

If you left the character creator or checked another name, then you have given up the reservation. If you didn't then it was a bug and needs to be reported.

There was a bug like that in Beta where the reservation system wasn't allowing us to use the names we had reserved because they were reserved. That was annoying, but gotten around on the last screen by checking another name, then typing in the first one and entering the game. But it sounds like you found someone else had taken the name while you had it reserved.

Yes, but in the bind he had, it would have also been toggling the Rocket Board on off, therefore shutting off the power he just turned on. Not what he was aiming for I don't think.

AND YOU HAD TO SHARE THAT WITH THE REST OF US!! whimper

Not enough, not nearly enough.

Unless you create a second game account you want under the same NCSoft account.

Sonic/Sonic, Science/Magic/Tech origin (These are the easiest to explain the powers, Mutant can work but doesn't feel right, Natural would be harder.) A musician/composer (famous or struggling, whichever works better for you) decides to use his knowledge of acoustics and the psychology of music to fight for good/get rich/gain fame, etc.. Seriously, Lyrik is rich with possibilities in terms of concepts and back story. And you can combine either Sonic set with other powersets to fit the mood of the character you want.

Fire - He can generate so much energy from the sound waves that it ignites materials.
Ice - He uses his control of vibrations to suck energy out of the target. (Super hero physics, anything can work. )
Dark - Part of the sounds are ultra-low frequencies, reaching into the dark dimensions and afflicting the targets.

Tell me about it.

At least your mom thinks you are.

I had a red Targeted on my screen under the buff icons. I don't know what it meant, but the bloody thing had me targeted the entire time we fought it, both runs tonight. Of course, we had it targeted too.

Had 2 good runs tonight. The first run missed the bombs in the side tunnels so didn't get that badge, second time, got all 4 badges.

I was wondering how bad that was on a squishy. I noticed people were spamming heals constantly as we ran through the tunnels, but I didn't really notice on my Inv tank.

You can only turn on one power per bind. You can turn off as many as you want, but the opposite doesn't work.

Yes. You can use the Titan Sentinel from the Titan Network to export your build to Mids.

I had this last night after I changed my password to get into the forums. But I had forgotten that I had changed it and was using the old password.

The voiceover stuff does show up in the the Cutscene Captions channel and either the Error or Rewards channel. You may not have the Cutscene channel on your characters if it was added after you started playing. I had to individually add it to all of my characters. But it will be there for all brand new players, so they can read what is being said.

I certainly agree about the new missions in AP. Both the Habashy arc and the Training Missions. There was a lot in the old set up that was annoying, but at least you generally had options once you got to level 5. Now you get to 7 or 8 and if you don't know about Radio missions, you are going to end up running the sewer until 10 for the next Twinshot. They need more options in that level range, and a definite introduction to the Radio missions.

Just about the only places I disagree with you are your last two sentences. (Actually, while I think they need to get the market cleaned up ASAP, you can't actually buy something you already own. Or at least if you can, it is a definite bug they need to know about.) I am afraid I am one of the weirdos that actually enjoy running Keyes when I have the time. I have only done the Underground Trial once, and it is mostly a slide show due to a very old computer, but it was a lot of fun for me.

If your last sentence is in reference to your old argument about more damage for tanks, well, let's not go there right now.

There are some specific things about the tutorial, training missions, and the popups that should be changed or fixed for brand new players, IMO. And some of the prices are still a bit high. But overall, a very nice start to a new era of COH.
