  1. I agree with all 3 points in the OP, Gun Drone needs looking at (as does Time Bomb).
  2. Whilst I agree with you to a certain extent there are several activities that would mean a person wouldn't see the tell or wouldn't be able to easily reply. They could be respecing, modifying their base, messing about with the AE interface or creating costumes or they could just be AFK.

    But yeah it is annoying when you don't get a reply
  3. I hit 1201 on my badge toon this evening. Still need MoLGTF and Partner but i'll get them sooner or later

    After quitting the TF, I sent the leader a tell to let them know the tank already had the Saved the World badge. Had obviously survived the TF. And that it was their damned loss

    Elitism is an ugly thing
    That's terrible. I've done a number of STFs this week and had various tanks keep LR busy including WP, Fire and Invul and we never had any real problems. I think you did the right thing.
  5. -The time I discovered you could use tp foe on the bombs in the TV respec. Cue team wipe!
    -Old style Hami raids. They were a nice way of socialising and getting a nice reward at the same time.
    -My first Quaterfield TF. This was long before Ouroboros and SG bases so it took ages to get anywhere. 9 hours of hell...

    Probably. The badge text explicitly states

    You helped 50 teams complete a Weekly Strike Target even though you already received the bonus for the week

    Agreed. There are other ways of restricting how long it will take to earn these without making it a grind.

We finished it, then moved onto the second mission, which crashed on us twice (02-01-2011 17:12:17 and 02-01-2011 17:16:53) both times resetting completely, at which point the team gave up.
    Had a similar thing happen tonight on Union. After running an STF we all crashed 2 or 3 times on the first mission of the LRSF but we managed to complete it and were able to continue on and complete the SF.
  9. /reply should work but like others have said, I just use Backspace.

    Funny you should mention that, I have been trying to do just that this week....I am on my 5th customer service rep and counting

    Back on topic, nice looking rewards!
  11. I think Lady Arete has covered everything and as Wanted suggested, try playing on both Union and Defiant. Welcome (back) to the game

    He has been triggering a zombie invasion for quite some time now. I believe completing a Katie Hannon TF is the trigger for a zombie invasion hero side, although it has been some time since I ran one so I cannot be sure.

    Why not just ask them to put the rating up? I have been of TFs where someone has done this and the teams have usually been quite happy to comply.
  16. I joined an all blaster ITF on Defiant a couple of weeks back. We died a fair bit but there was plenty of vengeance to go round and we still finished in quite a good time

    4 Dark Watchers
    5 Glimpse of the abyss + Tohit Debuff IO

    ^ all good ways of slotting it, probably other good ways also.
    4 Dark Watchers + 2 Endoplasm HOs is how my corruptor has it slotted currently.

    EU test Borked?

    Just patched and logged in with no problems.
  19. Congratulations on the new opportunity and thanks for your efforts on the EU servers and the forums. Best of luck!

    Updater Problem

    You would be better off posting about this in the tech support forum but in the mean time there is an easy way to bypass the Updater altogther.

    Create a shortcut to CityOfHeroes.exe then add -project "eucoh" to the end of it. For example, mine reads:

    "C:\Games\City of Heroes\CityOfHeroes.exe" -project "eucoh"

    I only use the Updater on patch days
  21. I know what you mean. I did a LGTF yesterday and the team consisted of 2 tanks, 2 controllers, blaster, scrapper, defender and my PB. The two controllers disappeared in the first mission never to be seen again. The scrapper quit at the third mission, as did the blaster who decided we wouldn't beat Hami so we carried on with 2 tanks, defender and PB...and finished succesfully. There's probably a lesson in there somewhere

    Yes, I have a free respec (and forgot I have plenty for the veteran reward too). I respecced with one of my characters and it worked!

    Any guide on the new updates happening like that Alpha, Omega stuff and what should I need to do with IO/Inventions? I am still aiming for SOs is this out dated? lol
    Check the Player Guides section and you can also get help with builds in the various AT forums but as Shadowclone you should be fine with SOs for now

    Annoying Players

    I like to think I am an annoying player. More so in the 'I've just done something stupid that's going to get us all killed' kinda way though and I do warn the team...when it's too late
