  1. I agree Tyger.
    Good to see Im not the only one who would say this..
    Thats why I can say... Sal is the BadgeGOD of Union, the paragon.
  2. *nodnodnod* Death is not permanent... I will insert this into my new strategy... why i quoted Epicine in AO... aaaaaah

    But to OP... oh I think we can get you to all of them debt badges before that.. muhaha...
    Just joking
    But it is harder now to get them debt badges, but not getting them before lvl 50 (after debt was hard to get... i have no idea).
  3. Well its.. sort of Priority need though Unless you want to give more targets to heal for other players?
    The Gladiator Warden 2 is the only one with an area heal, thats why its a basic tool for the farm i had in mind...
  4. Quite agree with you Scarlet

    Although to be fair to the idea of changing...
    They did after "How many issues?" finally change Empath and reducing it to its proper size = one ZERO less. Its playing Devils advocate here I know.. *bite lip*

    Just hope that its a bug and will get fixed again. (Taking away things are not good, improving is!)
  5. Well Ravenswing... maybe its unheroic.
    BUT
    Remember that many of the heroes have been "villains" before, or slightly been on the dodgy side.

    So Devs please DONT remove those badges!! *Please with sugar on top*
  6. Mistake.. surely. We must await for the Devs to reply.
    AS the badge has been possible to get from issue 6, and all the other valid comments being done in the latter part of the tread.
    Also it seemed that there was a problem for villains to get that badge too? Just as there was/is a problem for the 3 fire badge?

    Sweet Devs, say it is NOT so, make these messages made by these two Gm's false... please.
    Ghostraptor, could you confirm or deny this after a little chat with the Devs?
  7. Was pondering the possibility or if there was any interest for some Gladiator Healing farm. (Still lack Medicine woman and Empath on my main badger)

    To be part of this you need the 400 pvp badge (which gives you the nice warden 2 gladiator... the one that can heal).
    And many... many... other cheap gladiators.

    So far I have envisioned us to be in 2 big teams and when its up, leaving our warden 2's to heal the other gladiators (it will be a lot of passive heals) during the night (while we go afk, grabbing sleep, work or whatever seems to be pressing matters, while the gladiators heal).

    The more the merrier (and quicker to get the heal badges)...If there is an interest then it would be easy to get one started, if not, oh well...

    I say again you need the following:
    Warden 2 Gladiator (From getting 400 pvp rep)
    Cheap gladiators... like outcasts or cogs.
    And
    Willingness to keep the computer on for the duration.
  8. Well Col_blitz
    Sometimes when your in a team (dont think it has happened to me when i have soloed) and the mission is a lead hostage to exit or down up to another part of the mission map...
    The hostage sometimes gets stuck near the elevator and vanishes.

    To prevent this from happening, make certain that the one who has the npc following him/her/it is the LAST one to enter that elevator. Cause everytime you enter that elevator the npc will try to follow you etc.
    I remember this happening alot when i played villains... Damn the Vimes woman

    It did also happen a few times during father time mission, but I recon the npc got confused to.. whom to follow.
  9. Hmm, wonder why in my mind I had the impression that those 2 free gift slots where limited in time, and why i was under the impression a Red name told us that.
    Oh well, glad that I am wrong on that one, thanks for correcting.
  10. You get a free new char slot each Year, not each badge. When they began with the program they gave us 2 free ones, which we had to use as quickly as possible or they would be forfeit. Also they gave at the time 1 for each year.
  11. oooo.. tough pickings.

    Favourite(s):
    Statesman, The Paragon of the City, the man him self, badass to the core and really has the likable features and the compelling charm of a dead (and rotten) goose. He is arrogant etc, something that Manticore feels very strongly about. (in the comics). The irony (like it).

    Dr Aeon: The lunacy, the back story given for him is great. As mentioned doing a certain contact in Cap and you get to see more of this fellas future.

    Nemesis: This fella has so much going that he can't be human any longer, no sane human mind could keep track of it all. But then, who says Nemesis does?

    Hated:
    Synapse. Big crybaby. The Crey did this and this to me so im going to be emo about it. Sheesh, brighten up! (Specially had this feeling when I did the Origin arc and I felt my char had a worse background then him)
    What I would see for him is a little character development. Something that could bring a smile to his face... a little like what we see in the later comics.

    Signatures heroes and villains I would like to see more of for char development and plot development are:
    Preatoreans (all), Maestro and the rest of the Council Arch villains, Synapse (for above mentioned reason)...
    and oh, he is only a scientists and a contact but "Victor Von Grun" (love this aspiring mad scientist, he makes me smile)

    So whats gonna be in the Magic booster pack? My money is on a Tommy Cooper style Fez hat costume piece!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    i remember reading an interview with Posi (but not where it was), and he mentioned that this pack would have content linked to the stage magician as well as the arcane. so my guess would be, yes. something like a fez probably some new emotes for using a wand and a pointy hat! we desperately need a pointy hat! (with stars on it) and perhaps even a robe

    jbWarsmith out!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yes.. but we need the possibility of SHOWING HAIR with them hats. We do have the sorceress hat, but im NOT going to use that on any char that actually has long hair. I would only use it on chars who are bold, and since i don't have any chars that are bold, so much for that... meh!
  13. Have updated the badgesheet1_3.
    Frostbitten added.
    Minor fixes.
  14. Only one I got so far is
    Lady Arete (583)
    But with a bit of work i'll get two more
  15. Ludicrous.
    Why they did not go for Second life instead (seems that is more near the mark) i dont know.
    But patenting mmo, what have they smoked? And who the heck are they?
    Guess Blizzard and every other mmo will help.

    Lets see...
    If it is Hero side:
    AND
    You have not been part of the valentine missions, then the badge you wonder about IS
    Reformed (1000 Longbow).
    (if you have been part of Valentine missions (Terrigol missions) then it could be Coldblooded or Weed Wacker. However this is unlikely, so go and hunt Longbow.

    If it is Villainside then its a tad harder to guess, cause then you have the choice of:
    Strikebuster, Mongoose, coldhearted, Villain & Weedwacker.
    This however would be VERY unlikely (if it is then you have missed a lot of contents).

    So for now I will conclude that it is the "Reformed" badge so go out and hunt Longbow. This can be done by Gaussians Longbow mission (farm it) or the Old way... Get confused by a villain in pvp zone and wack Longbow.

    Just wait until next Valentine (its soon), and you get the two badges i mentioned by doing the "Defeat Terrigol" mission... Just DONT FINISH that mission until you got the badges!
  17. Edited: My thought drifted on the wrong badge (Igor is correct).
    Thought the badge in question was the "new" history bar of Nemesis. (That one is a bug)
    Serves me right for posting when not awake.

    Also as an aside (and I've been guilty of this when I go into the D on several occasions) - Pocket D has some kind of barrier to prevent conflict. I'm never quite sure if this extends to being able to use powers if you have any (making ice cubes or causing it to Snow outside), or if a person throws a punch will they end up in a cornfield? If someone could be more proactive than me and find out for certain what the deal is, I would be grateful. Then it could be one thing that might actually be able to be applied across the board so that whenever anyone's in D, acts of violence can be dispersed by a kindly tell stating whatever the case happens to be.



    [/ QUOTE ]

    Always thought that since Pocket D is a pocket Dimension made by DJ Zero, (His info when clicked?) that Pocket D is HIS world. Aka, his will is absolute. He made it, thus his will reigns supreme. Nobody can be hurt there, nor can superpowered beings use their powers.
    That is atleast my impression after also reading the comics where the superheroines make a visit to D...
    Luminary talks to D about setting up a Grudgematch...

    Thus I use that as foundation for powerusage in D. If I am wrong, do correct me.
  19. Wishing you all a Happy New Year. May this year be your best year yet.

  20. Why "Godly" chars are frowned upon?
    Well there has been many valid points; the cops and robbers.. and the kid who just dont want to die is one.
    Cause in the game there is always those who want to be the most powerful characters around.
    There is just a few problems with Godly Characters. If they are so all powerful, then there is no need for the other players characters. There is no need to fight, there is no need to play, cause Players "GOD" can fix anything with but moving his, her, its finger.

    My problem often with meeting players with GODly characters are "What are the odds meeting a God in D?" It should be none. Cause Gods usually have other things to do then hang around in bars .
    Its about belif or is it believable? God have worshippers, dont they? Its all about exiting background and a deep, long History. It must NOT be a powertrip akin to the "My character is stronger then your characters nanana!"

    Besides examples from comic literature with Marvels THOR and Hercules joining heroes (Avengers), there are few GOD's or Pantheons in COX lore. We assume the greek, the norse etc God chars are around (most likely we are right in our thinking).
    Why Gods would enlist as Heroes [Question to OP: Was supergroup chat Heroes or villains? Cause if it was Heroes... im a little concerned about this Son of Ares ] is another question.
    If Gods where meddling to much in the affairs of man... then there would be no need for Heroes (or villains) or any of our characters.

    I may have some powerful characters but I use a system of 1-5 to scale my chars power.
    1= passive powers, little power.
    2= Stronger then 1. Minimum requirement for joining Hero program.
    3= More power and more control over your power(s). Can have multiple powers too.
    4= Extreme power. From you comes power, just like it comes from characters like X-mens Magneto.
    5= Your power is like (or is) a God. (Stronger then Marvels Phoenix, like Galacticus, like Unknown. In our game, like Heqat (misspell), Statesman (he is incarnate after all) etc.

    Personally i tend to get in the 3-4 power range on my chars but the chars have limitations. And if such characters have limitations, then GOD's should have to. Perhaps even more so.
    If a player really wants to make a GOD character, it must be an interesting character. You may not even know he or she is a God, nor those around them. They should have limitations that would bring them down to heroic stature. After all you dont see Statesman throwing lightning rods galore. They should be interesting, developed and with room for development to. The problem is that since they are GOD's they are very set in their way and you will have a hard time getting any development on them at all.
    (Thus my sentiment is, why do you want to make a God, a lvl 5 character... it is less fun).
    A GODly character needs also a skilled player behind him or her with the knowhow of when, how, where and when NOT to use the chars abilities.

    Oh.. and I love D. In D, even Gods are near Mortal status... for in D, DJ Zero is THE God. (Its his pocket dimension after all)

    As long as the RP will be pure GodModding from a players part (and not only those who play Gods do this) then I dont have a problem with Godly chars.
    Well hope some of my thoughts or confusion helps the OP's question.
  21. Your old characters are still there Grammy. If they have been low lvl like.. lvl 5'ish. You may have lost that chars name, and become generichero"something".
    However you will get a chance to rename and not remain "Generichero..."
    But again, no. They are still there.
  22. Lady Arete

    Your Blasters...

    Lady Arete: Fire/Fire/Fire and my main (lvl 50). Its fun, do lots of damage and.. its playstyle is *spotting a big crowd of villains* "Ooo must... nuke"
    This sometimes happens when I do NOT play my blaster and I got to remind myself... Not on my blaster now!

    My other blaster is a "spoof" char of my Defender:
    Gun Cyrene: AR/Mental. She is still in her twentieths++ so still powers that lack.
  23. Merry Christmas everyone. Enjoy the festivities, the food and the company.
  24. Don't know. I would try a search with those words on the net
    Due to a sg member having lots of problems with windows and CoX it was suggested that he could try Linus. (dc'ing after 10 min in prime time is just not fun)...
