Malice_A4Thought

AT = archtype - the character type you decide to play- tank, corrupter, scrapper, blaster, dominator, mastermind(MM) and others but because I'm at work and my memory sometimes blanks (oldtimers disease) I forget the others at this moment.

Do not confuse origin - science, mutant, natural, tech, magic with AT - one can have an AT of any of the origins. Origin is merely the type of enhancements (and the stores that sell that type) you slot in your powers.

Suggest heading over to the tech forum area - those guys there are wizzes and can help you figure out the problems you are experiencing.

Welcome to our game!!

I sat back and watched all the knowledgeble people answer with thoughts and things to do and AT's to use.

So I will impart here the reason I like villains better than hero side.

No matter how frustrating life is at times, it is soooo nice to log in to my favorite villain of the month and go smash up some cars and crates and parking meters in a mayhem mission. Instant stress relief and no holes in the walls or foot stomping noises to irrate those that live in the same household.

And the first time I took my level 35 plant dom back to port oakes and my giant fly trap ran up behind a line of family that were strolling along the street and took them all out at once in domino fashion, I about laughed my self silly. How I wish I had hit screen shot!

Oh,, and the trams have an exit and an entrance do not confuse the two.

Enjoy!

For quck foray into Villian Side AV's at level 20, Take Lorenz Ansaldo as a contact in Shark, go to the Fortunata and change your fight level and be sure to mark that you want to fight Hero's as Heros not as Elite Bosses. You'll get Hero level critters in your mayhem missions too.

What's the question?

I read once upon a time, what best to use against the malta and their sappers. However, as I have aged, my mind has forgotten. Can someone please enlighten me as how best to take the nefarious sappers out without too much pain?

Thanks in advance
Mal

It's been a long time since I exemplared down. Yesterday my level 34 was helping out a level 20 running his missions. I noticed that I was gaining xp and end of mission bonus at the amounts that I would receive had they been my level 34 missions.

Was this changed with the issue that auto sk'd and exemplared? Do I consider this a nice gift ermm bug? Or is it working as intended?

Mal

nah was just a copy and paste from the lyrics web site

Ok I didn't read the entire thread,,,but the following song lyrics popped immediately into my head. Lots of lines here that would give a great Name!

Killer Queen
She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
Chorus

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

To avoid complications

She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined

Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
Chorus


Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a ***** cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's all out to get you
Chorus


Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try
[ Queen Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]

You're welcome to everyone that is now humming that song at work!

Welcome to the game! Since others didn't say this, UPGRADE UPGRADE your account when you purchase the game. (did I say UPGRADE?) so you don't lose your existing characters.

Yes I noticed the color sucked once I hit enter.. especially on the villain rust background. Shall have to work on that image. I *thought* it was smaller.. but will check it.

I have tried uploading an image that fits the 600x120 but to no avail. Is this just a *come on* ?

Mal

All earned XP is split 50/50. In your window if it says you received 100, you get 50 and your pact partner gets 50.

<whine>
Purples drop to anyone other than me. I play 5 out of 7 days for at least 4 hours each time. I haven't seen a purple in over 8 months.

Mal

well drat. I was all set to make a slightly .... off color... joke about changing the color of my rouge... and the subject line got edited.

<all puns intended>

Ha! I like this

To elaborate- At level 30, you go talk to the City Hall Representative (for heroes) or your beginning contact (for villains)

Right? I think?

[/ QUOTE ]

Correct. From them you will receive a series of missions. Once you complete the missions you are awarded an Aura. Hoorah!

Good luck and welcome to the game!



[/ QUOTE ]

One minor technical comment, you are awarded the ABILITY to have an aura. You must purchase the actual aura from the tailor (or use a costume change token). An aura does NOT automatically appear the moment you finish the mission.

A few of the emotes won't work for me in CoV.
chicken, dustoff, alakazam, getsome, knuckle.

Have these been removed or are just not in Cov?
