TBH I wish they'd just get rid of prestige but not replace it with anything. Make prestige PvP equipment only, let the PvE game use Inf or nothing, as having a huge pretty base in the pure PvE sense doesn't hurt anyone gives you no advantage... or make prestige only for use with crafting base stuff...

Hell I don't know, I'm sick of grinding missions to scrape Inf + Prestige + Salvage + Recipes. Removing Prestige would make everything that bit easier.

Or mind/rad I'm thinking...

You are however in the login server, taking up space and using bandwidth. Besides why on earth do you want to sit there longer than the few minutes it takes you to select a new character and enter the game?

Now removing the timeout while using the character creator would be quite nice, having timed out there quite often.

The only one that springs to mind at the moment is I'm Sexy, I'm Cute for Miss Atom. Her bio' is noted below so you can understand the reason.

Amber George - supermodel, aspiring actress and vocalist on the international number one tune "Love Beyond Love" - was walking to her local organic health food shop when a man stepped out of a portal that had appeared in front of her and said, "There. Now you have fabulous powers." From that day on Amber has masqueraded as Miss Atom, fighting crime in between Hollywood parties and hair and makeup. She also does some charity work.

Too long since I last saw that film...

After watching it everyday for the best part of three years at work it was once in grained on my psyche...

, it not like you don't need masses of salvage to make the good stuff anyway,

[/ QUOTE ]
With the AH and base storage Salvage is never a limiting factor, even in my lowly base I can make all of the advanced equipment I have access to hundreds of times over in both tech and arcane varieties. Yet I can't afford to place even the lowest of them.

I agree that prestige and base construction needs an overhaul. But TBH this isn't the way, I have enough stuff to spend my Inf on already.

TBH ow they have changed the amount of Inf you get when in SG mode after 35 prestige is easy to earn. On just two accounts (with a little help) I have managed full base teleporters and all. I never play outside of SG mode and not only have I something like 3 million Inf in that SG I have plenty of cash for nice enhancements. My main controller is rapidly closing on earning 1 million inf on her own.

I could/get two Titans, but my duo will be at the raid and I doubt I'll have time to get through an awful malta mission between the raid and the rampage. Plus I have a feeling that I'd die too quick with two of the buggers.

Every /unsign is a vote against PvP.

Every /unsign vote is a vote by someone that knows how to play. If this went into the game at least two ATs would be worthless in PvP or PvE. Hell if this happened half my characters would be impossible to play. And all other ATs would need a drastic nef to bring them inline with those effected. Probably remove all mezz resists/protections. Then try PvP.

What gold?

If you mean Inf then go to the SG registrar he will convert 1,000,000 inf to 2000 prestige (or large figures rounded to nearest million).

Who, in their right mind, would START playing a four year old game?

[/ QUOTE ]
Um WoW... Feb 11 2005 - 3 and a bit years old (from US launch)
Or EVE... 6 may 2003 - 5 years old now or something.

The same people who would start playing other older games...

(Release dates from Wikipedia)

GMT or BST?

If so what is 8pm GMT in BST?

Either way I'll try to be there.

The fact that models can't change shape might have something to do with why the Council troops that beome Warwolves are all much larger than their comrades, even in human form.

[/ QUOTE ]

They clearly can though, otherwise Kheldian transformations and Stone Armour wouldn't be possible, would they?

The Devs have made references in the past that these are just alternate "special" costumes. They even have specific limitations on what emotes you can use in other forms, so there really should be no technical limitations on allowing these, as there is existing precedent for it.

Could be.
To me games are like cars; I'm quite happy to play with them but I have no idea how they work.

I'm all for it, I'm just sure I remember there was some technical reason against it in a long ago thread.

If you go far enough back most things we have now was once though impossible... well maybe not most stuff but you get my meaning.

I can see Dark Control... I don't see why it'd be anything like either illusion or gravity...

Take Dark Miasma (Defender/MM set)

Swap Twilight Grasp for a ST Immob
Swap Darkest Night for Tenebrous Tentacles
Change Howling Twiglet to remove the res.
Fearsome Stare comes earlier, ST Hold.
Change Black Hole to a AoE Hold rather than foe intangible
And either change the pet or leave it as it is, but I'd think remove its healing ability and a minor model change (lesser shadow imp thing).

Essentially take the controllerish powers out of Dark Blast and Dark Miasma and put them into Dark Control.

Heals wake an ally from sleep though, always.

Not sure if a targeted heal (transfusion, etc) would wake a mob or not and currently can't test.

Having seen this thread...
http://uk.boards.cityofvillains.com/show...e=0#Post1119639

I now find that I have not as yet attained all the Sword models, and the 2nd I want quite a bit.

Scrapper is currently level 44, but I' going to keep working on her today to get her a touch higher, anyone planning an ITF please think of me.

NEED!!!

OMG Still haven't got the armour on my BS/Rgn...

/t <see sig> if any spare spots, lvl44 ATM IIRC.

I'd go dark...

Why? Well Dark 2ndary is far more controllerish than the others, you have an AoE stun and a cone immobilise. The damage type is not highly resisted in PvE or PvP (Negative) and most of the ttacks are pure negative. Plus most if not all of the attacks de-buff To Hit. True it does have a power that does knockback, but that is one from the whole set, unlike energy (I deleted my kin/nrg).

Saying all that I have a level 44 Kin/Dark who I hardly ever play...

I could do this on a variety of characters, but not sure I can be on then.

Lets see...

2x Controllers need it. (Fire/Kin Duo, though can be played separately).
1x Blaster needs it. (Nrg/Dev)
1x Scrapper needs it. (BS/Rgn... though LN could come for the recipe so DM/Rgn too).
I also have a defender who could do it, but I tend not to play her its not important. (Kin/Dark)

You have my global, anyway.

Most of the controller AoE holds do no damage by default, though you can - and many do - add damage procs to them.

1)Been like that since it was implemented sadly, a patch or two ago they fixed some holes and that reduced some of the lag but even then I find that mission to be pretty damn horrible due to it.

EBs even those running under AV code are never going to be impossible to a competent player. AVs that are actual AVs are a different matter.

I recently completed the faultline arcs where I face Arbiter Sands as an EB several times, because he is an AV stepped down to an EB he still has the little purple triangles that stop him getting held properly... in fact I found him all but impossible to hold even with two controllers stacking their holds, plus both rad debuff toggles (one of each). I did kill him in the end but it was a hard fought battle.

On my fire/kins I have done all the AVs as EBs offered by Tina and Unai in Peregrine, plus the GMs as EBs (Psychic Babbage, King, Adamaster... etc). With my fire/kins being significantly higher with better slotting (damage as well as accuracy) I found these EBs to be a push over but I doubt they'd have been easy as AVs or if I was only playing a single character.

Make damage break Crowd Control abilities (mezz, hold, sleep etc). Being able to just CC someone/something constantly while also doing damage to them makes you literally invincible.

This is overpowered and no longer relevant to the games of today.

[/ QUOTE ]Bad idea. What's next, an Empath Fender/Troller that cannot heal, or remove taunt from all Tanker Powers.

If you don't like mez, just fight Trolls only. Or in PvP, don't pick duels with Trollers/Doms.

You sir, get the prize for the worst suggestion for 2008.

[/ QUOTE ]
Dman I was formulating a plan for flying toilets... I wanted that prize. :'(

Not beaten the game... hope it'll never happen.
Finished my dual boxing Guide... it will happen.
Played tank beyond level 12
Or kheldian beyond 20
Or most villains beyond 20
Or any villains beyond 47
Or hamidon new style
Found/Bought a full set of Purples...
Achieved even a tenth of what I want to do.

It should also be pointed out you could create the file from scratch and have each of your characters ding fifty multiple times.

Heya,

Can you let us know where you saw this, and what was going on at the time?

[/ QUOTE ]
Also had this precise message, I think it is a hero side zone event message. I assumed it was for babbage as I have yet to see a message for him appreaing in Boomtown... however as I was in Boomtown at the time of the message and I checked out his spawn points I didn't see him... so maybe not.
