Arg... that's what I get for having too many windows open lol. Accidentally posted in the wrong forum. Sorry folks.

If you don't want spoilers or images in regards to the Christmas special 'End of Time' which is David Tennant's finale do not read below.
Quote:Already knew Dalton was coming back as a Time Lord (reports are he's the Meddling Monk but that's unconfirmed) but if there were ever any doubt that huge honking Seal of Rassilon on his chest is a dead giveaway lolWho is David Tennant standing next to in this photo? The answer reveals a lot about the storyline of Tennant's final adventure as the time-traveling eccentric in Doctor Who, and its impact on the show's mythos. Major, huge spoilers below.
No, really. This is a massive spoiler. Are you sure you're down with that? Okay then.
Yes, that's John Simm, probably returning as the Master, the Doctor's arch nemesis and fellow Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. And on the other side of Tennant? Timothy Dalton, having a view to a kill as some kind of Time Lord dignitary, complete with Gallifreyan bathrobe and medallion. It's been rumored for ages that Simm was coming back for Tennant's finale. And it's also been rumored that Dalton will be showing up, playing the Chancellor of the High Council of Time Lords. This picture, which appears to show Tennant, Simm and Dalton clowning around between takes, seems to clinch both of those rumors.
I have to say, if the Master causes Tennant's Doctor to regenerate into Matt Smith, then it's going to be the third time this has happened. The Master polished off Tom Baker's Doctor (in "Logopolis") and Sylvester McCoy's Doctor (in the can't-believe-it's-canon TV movie.) You'd think after someone killed you three times, you might start getting a bit stroppy. That's almost a quarter of the Doctor's lives, right there.

Theres mostly threads in the EU training room near the top, but some people might not look there so is logical to post here too
Oh and btw . . . . this issue has already made the game seem new and fresh for me! Had no idea changing the colour of powers was THAT effective!

Quote:True enough Bill. I am never surprised at nerfs or changes at this game anymore. It's not a question of why anymore as to WHEN.Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
hey... everyone in here dumping on Xyzyx for his statement...
Please carry on.
As to the change in XP, it's been a long time coming. No surprise there. -
Groovy. Great work guys.

I'm back from the dead, and I come with TREATS (especially tasty for those of you that hail from the land of yore)!
Those treats, quite tasty I might add, have been poked, prodded, and shoved a few dozen times into a tube until it eventually fit, and they show off many bright and wonderful (also dark and horrifying) flavors!
The first tasty candy highlights a general overview of "Costume Creator 2.0", as well as a few powersets, especially Super Strength (alt animations!), Spines (alt spines!), Martial Arts (alt animations!), and several others.
Next up, is a wonderful 1765 Bordeaux, such a wonderful year! This masterpiece, direct from a wonderful vineyard, is chock full of rich Stalker preview goodness! It presents all the alternative animations available for the Martial Arts Stalker variant, as well as another demonstration of spines (including a fabulous color match, if I say so myself!) along with a few new touches on the "pom poms of doom", and to top it off, a preview of the newly proliferated Broadsword powerset for Stalkers! Wasn't 1765 a fabulous year?
Also on the menu tonight is a lovely serving of caviar. This caviar is often considered the 5th wonder of the world, starting to make a come back to what was rightfully theirs. Also on display, is an example of a multi-colored EM/ in action... I must say I am quite fond of the bright green TF, if I say so myself!
Next on the menu is a wonderful- yeah, screw it. Next is a video showing the new difficulty system called 'SRSLY'.
Lastly, we have a video of the dual pistol set from Going Rogue! It's pretty freaking sick!

Quote:Don't feel bad man. I've got millions of stories far more funnier and pathetic like that. How about the time I was on my level 31 empath/energy defender back in like I3 or I4 and a level 13 scrapper came up to me and sent a tellOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Heck, I'd probably have given it away if the guy hadn't come off like a moocher. I don't exactly have a lot on this one - barely 9 million and I know I'll blow all of that off pretty soon. But just saying the word "please" does not immediately make every wish convincing. If he'd approached me as a person and tried to explain his plight, I'd have probably helped without a second thought.
But running up to a stranger and greeting them with "please give me money" does not warm my heart.
I quickly got the hell out of there and not only reported him for harassment but also logged off my toon period and went for a walk. I just had to clear my head and try and process how moronic the human race can be lolQuote:Lvl 13 Scrapper: powr lvl mi and go kill
Me: Excuse me? Do I know you?
Lvl 13 Scrapper: ****head go kill fer mi. you high levl
Me: Okay not only do I not appreciate you using profanity at me but my friend I'm a level 31 empath/energy defender. I'd like to be able to SOLO myself (tongue in cheek).

Quote:Or just hunt Striga when everything cons grey to you so you can wipe them out with like 1-2 hits. But on topic. Power leveling has been in this game since day 1 and while the devs have made an effort to remove the more blatant forms of it as long as sidekicking exists in this game PLing will too.Originally Posted by Mirai
You can finish up those badges fairly easily with Maxwell Christopher's arc in the lower 40s, if you don't mind waiting that long.

Or how about that giant honking door in the Hive which would have been used for the trial they had planned for the Hive but never followed through on.

Quote:But on the flip side to be fair. Even a lot of well documented bugs like all the problems with MA were pushed through to Live for some unknown reason. That ticked a lot of people off too.Originally Posted by Red Valkyrja
Well, we all saw what happened with last issue's Open-Closed Beta. A bunch of people getting on test, seeing it buggy,then running right to the boards complaining on how "This is a buggy POS "How could the Dev's release something like this!! ZOMG!!111!!eleventy-eleven!!11!!!!!
To which BaB's responded "Welcome to day 1 of closed beta. Told you guys it wasn't as fun as you all seemed to think they were."
Closed Beta is not some exclusive club, to which you need the secret password in order to get in. And as for the so-called "elite" you speak of, if you mean players that along with just playing the game, the also have the dedication to pound/peck/twist/contort something so see if they can break it, and report their findings to the Dev's, then yes, I suppose there are an "elite" class of players. They would be the ones you don't hear saying "Why should I do the Dev's job for them?" They are the one's that do this out of their love for the game. -
Quote:Just be patient and wait for your invite like everyone else. No one really knows. I've been invited to 3 closed betas myself the in the first wave and I've been playing the game since Beta. I've always filed several bug reports and tried to test the issue as much as possible to help out and yet I was not invite for I14 or this one yet. Why? Who knows. Maybe they wanted to give someone else a chance at testing other than a veteran like me. Maybe I wear glasses and someone found out at Paragon Studios and they don't like people unless they wear contacts? It's pointless to try and figure out the why. Just accept it and move on.Originally Posted by MEdelen
I want to know what the requirements are to get into closed betas? I've been playing this game since about a year after it launched. My account is a 51 veteran awarded account with just a few downtimes due to other financial commentments. Whenever I see a problem, I utilize the petition system to report it.... But I have yet to be invited to any closed betas. I know this thread will be read by less than average intelligent people and they will no doubt choose to insult me about this post, or nag about it. But I would like to know. My whole family are CoH players. My main toon is Kravist, my wifes toon is Agent Monroe, and my daughter plays various characters as she is still learning to play. So we are avid players who want to contribute.
Anyway, What are the requirements or guidelines you put in place to judge someone qualified for closed beta? -
It's always awesome when an old player returns to the fold. You picked one of the best times too. With I16 on it's way and Going Rogue gearing up it's a great time to be playing COH

That's a very hot topic and often leads to fights and disagreements. Even to this day Jack has supporters and followers in this game that cling to the notion everything he did was super-duper-awesome-candy with a side order of bacon. I'd just tell whomever asks that it's a VERYYYYYYYYY long story and if they don't have a half an hour to kill learning about him just know he's gone and were better off for it.

Quote:There are all kinds of little bugs and glitches like that all over the game. It's tiny problems that they've either never gotten around to or considered so insignificant that it wasn't worth the time to look into. Pay it no heed.Originally Posted by Ice_Wall
I just came out of the Orion Store (Science store) in Steel Canyon, and standing in the archway outside the door under the spinning Orion sign, I am hearing the sounds of people chatting, and what sounds like a mike giving feed back. If I move away, it disappears, but when I go back under the arch it's there again.
What the hell is this? Is this a sound bug or something? Or is this sounds from a secret room like the Cyrptic offices in Grandville that have a few sounds coming from strange places?
Anyone know what's going on? I thought I heard this the other day coming out of another building but I didn't pay attention to it. Is the outside of the building supposed to sound like a crowded restraunt? -
That's why when we were migrating to the new boards I made a checklist of things to do. First thing when the boards came online was to disable the Rep meter which serves no purpose. Second was to punch in all the names I had ignored into the new server CP so that I didn't have to worry about any surprises when I started posting/browsing.

God Bless you AC. I've seen your posts for years and while I didn't always agree with you I did always value your opinion. You are one of a select few on these boards I can say has a truly deep appreciation for this game and a great head on your shoulders. I'll pray for you and that you find success in your chosen field. I thank you for all your stimulating posts and sometimes hard headed opinions that led to so many heated yet fun conversations. Go with God man and may you find happiness in your life and if you ever get a chance drop on by and say hi to the gang from time to time

Quote:Don't feel bad. This happened to me the first time just as it did to MANYYYYYY people.Originally Posted by tuter_king
I went to the wrong place in the train so i was going to go to the place i wanted to from the train. I clicked on the train but did not let me in i tried to get in about 100 times when i shouted on the broadcast then someone told me there were two places in the train one were you go in and one were you go out.
As far as other people. God the list could go on for pages. But my most fondest memory is once when we were doing some missions back in about I5 I think and it was me and 3 or 4 other SG members with a PuG tanker. She was a Fire/Mace tanker that was 48 which already made me suspicious since Mace back then sucked BIG time but as long as she could tank that didn't bother me. She kept getting stunned like every 5 seconds and we had to wait after every mob for the stuns and holds to wear off her before moving on. Finally I got so frustrated I asked her "Is your Plasma shield bugged or something? You shouldn't be getting mezzed like this".
She replied along the lines of "Oh I hate Plasma Shield I never picked it up on this character."
To which I exasperated retorted "You hate Plasma Shield? It's your MEZ protection hun of course your getting stunned left and right. Why didn't you pick it and how the hell did you ever get 48 levels without it?"
Completely bewildered at my astonishment she said "Oh I didn't pick Plasma Shield because I hate the aura and it covers up my costume. Besides you don't really need mez protection as a tanker and it's never been a problem."
So either she was lying or she was as dense as diamond because her answers alone told me she was a complete chowderhead. Didn't matter though because half way through the map after she kept getting stunned every other second (we were fighting Malta) and becoming hysterical that she couldn't function she left the team anyway

Quote:Yup it's pretty sad sometimes but when you get to PI everything past 45 in the 45-50 range most of the missions are pretty meh. Some of the storylines are interesting like Crimson and his World Wide Red arc but other than a few exceptions the missions are pretty sub-standard.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
or, why MA (and before MA Radio missions) appeals to so many players.
Running Tina McIntyre's arc with a scrapper. Things are going along fine, then I hit a 'defeat all' hydra mission. Okay, the map isn't too huge, no problem.
"Oh you beat the hydras...okay, now run to Brickstown and talk to this guy on the other side of the zone!"
Well, I don't run that many story arcs and it's been a while since I did one of these annoying FedEx missions, so alright, off I go.
Oro to Bricks, run across the zone to the hospital, talk to the guy, get the totally predictable mission right back where I started...and it's the same freakin' kill all, on the same freakin' map that I just cleared.
Oh wait, this time there are some glowies to click and a boss to beat, so I guess that makes it okay?
Logged out in annoyance to check the market on some of my other characters and to whine about it here.
Just a reminder to everyone that there's a reason lots and lots of players prefer the convenience of content that doesn't send you all over the world before handing you a carbon copy of the mission you just did. -
Quote:Hell I'm not even sure I17 is GR. I mean it's possible but until we get some more concrete word it's premature to speculate.Originally Posted by Mental_Giant
I'm confused... "get away" with a content heavy issue? We've been waiting for one of those since I13! We would love a content heavy issue for I18 (since I17 is GR)!
However, since GR will bring a metric buttload of content to the game, I'm pretty sure I18 will be a refinement issue, without too much content. I hope to be proven wrong, though. -
