  1. Not the best headline but it is what very often happens to me and escpecially on the large outside maps. I run past a spot wheer you expect a mob but there isn't one. So I stop and turn around and then they are there. Or even worse... they appear just as I am in that very spot. Or even worse than that; they don't appear until much later.

    The last bug/problem is obvious when it's for example a mission where you should free hostages. You run around looking for the last victim to save and then all of a sudden they are at a location where you have been before.

    I have bugged this problem but a bit curious if anyone else has this problem? I can tell you it has nothing to do with lag; this happends every now and then without any correlation to the lag/non-lag.

    Same here, first or second month after EU launch, in team in the Hollows. Very stupid.

    Going to level my tank around level 40-45 in Steel Canyon and bringing in a DE ambush to that spot. Lots of lower level toons killed and me very red faced.

    Any one care to explain me what's the point of Dark Astoria? Apart from it creeping me out? I think that should be the next zone to be revamped imho!
    The new zombie Co-Op zone!

    Used to be farming zone when Magic Salvage was worth anything, so far it's mainly for GM badge or mask hunting for badge if you don't have the Unai Kemen mish.-

    No... the point is the fog. Makes you run/jump into buildings. Smack - ouch. Smack - aiii! And so on. No other point besides locating missions on the far end of the map, which in turn only increase the number of smacks.
  4. Got the badges for zombie minions and lieutenants on my main badge toon but not the bosses badges. Grumph. Spent the last night online but never saw an event on the event message channel. Well... sighs.
  5. What can I say? That's an impressive initiative Mother! Thumbs up, mama! All three of'em!

    Dont remember the exact circumstances but I think I got DC on exiting a mission but still came out and then... this.
  7. Bye bye and take care!
  8. Major Pain - A pun and well I was making a military toon and it was available. Also the title of a very silly movie from the early 90's. (First blaster then tank, inv & fire)

    Intermezzo - just fitted as a hero name somehow. Perfectly. (Scrapper, spines & inv)

    Queen of Hearts & King of Hearts - can you believe I got both of these ? Queen was meant for a theme SG (yes, playing cards) that never happend. Both are scrappers.
  9. The romantic rumour that the 40-50 content should be something different and fantastic (just waaait til you get to meet the AV;s!) is ... bull. To me. I think that I'll agree that CoV has a lot better story arcs but also more fun mission with more variation. The whole fight the AV-thing in CoH is quite boring to me. They are just like minions only it takes a lot longer to kill'em. (Hmm, arrest)

    What the heck is Castle doing in the costumes department? Wasn't that Sexy Jay's niche/nest/pigsty?

    I hope soneone evicted him after the crazy idea of having a set of boxing gears as a vet reward.
  11. So one of the pillars of the foundation is leaving. Too bad and I'm sorry to see you go... but, hey! Who stole the cheese anyways?
  12. It was a mission against Nemesis on one of my 50's toons. Not sure from which contact but I might be able to see that ... no I could not, unfortunately.
  13. Ahem... and then I log in with another toon just to see that the number of villains doesn't show anymore. Strange.
  14. I just noted that the mission display shows how many villains there's left inside the mission... did this become active after todays downtime or has it been like that for awhile? I've had my account deactivated for about a month... but haven't seen it in any other posts.

    The HEATS are well known as being two of the most difficult AT's to play. So difficult, in fact, that most people just give up and declare them "rubbish" or "broken". Of course, the simple truth is that they're neither of those things. They're just... Boring MAD.

    What the heck was that? You saying its a good idea If so why? You saying its a bad idea? If so, why?

    Why bother to even go to the keyboard then to reply just to say something like that?

    What is your point?

    If people were auto-mentored they'd still be able to power-level themselves. <insert Level 50 here> invites a load of low levels into a Level 53 mission. All the lowbies are then in EXP galore. Would it be any different from now? Nope.

    As for being mentored one level below the Threat Level of the enemies, the Level cap is 50 so that wouldn't be possbible (I think).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Oh yes. We must do everyting we can to prevent the evil of power levelling. I don't even see why anyone cares, it's a big brother mentality that I just can't cope with, especially considering I was raised in a socialistic hell where the politicians thought they knew better than everyone else. If people wanna PL let'em, go ahead and mind your own business and play the game the way you want to. Sorry, I don't mean to poke anyone with a pointy stick. But the "stop people from PL" makes me tired.

    Am I Evil....?

    In a zone where there are no rules only breaking the EULA would be truly evil
  21. "flogging a dead horse" is a pretty nice and descriptive way of putting it. I started this game for the atmosphere and teaming/PvE. Then someone got a vision and started fixing the things that was allready working. "Balance" became the keyword and some twisted way that over shadowed "fun". That is my perspective and as you might have guessed I am not overly thrilled about that... If someone likes the PvP and even has joined the game for that, fine.
  22. Oh, numbers... not so impressive but not totally doooom either. Can't help wondering how many has double accounts though. Only in my SG alone there are several who has that.
  23. 1)The great Paragon Marathon - I totally agree on that one. Even after you got the travel powers you have some of these. I don't mind going to another zone but some of them are really boring. Like patroling Talos for Freakz activities, clicking the phones. sighs.

    2)The Shadow Shard. Oh yes. I thought it looked cool the first time I came there. Then I tried travelling. Oh no. And then I saw the mobs... of something mixed up between Doom and Hollywood aliens. If I had to look at those mobs forever I would rather be blind.

    3) Lack of postal system. I'd like to be able to send gold or recipies or whatever to my other toons or other players toons without seeing them. Choose the items, fill in the name, send. Simple as that. I would also like to not having to go to the contacts to buy inspirations. :P
  24. Problems seems to be gone now... got a ping that seems steady around 160-170, which isn't the best but much better than before.

    The lag on union is insane. Powers indicate they are recharged when they are not.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    To be fair, that's old and happens all the time on some powers. Rest is a massive culprit. It pretty much always actually becomes available about a second after the icon goes active.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Has never been that way for me except for occasional lag fiestas but now... I have it bad on all my toons. Started after the latest patch.
