Having said that, I think we need a list of ways to ease the transition.

1. NA board members must include extraneous vowels into words.
2. Euro board members introduced to Forum Games.
3. NA board members inoculated against kidney pie, head cheese, and spotted dick.
4. Euro board members innoculated against Taco Bell and KFC.
5. NA board members elect a Pwnz Court to administer to Euro boards.
6. Euro board members introduce Creative Genius series to NA boards.
7. TheOcho goes bilingual to assist the new Euro board sections: TheEight.
8. Avatea goes from Polynesian Mythology to Vermont Mythology: Champ.

Spotted dick is not too bad - my friend gave me some for Christams a year ago - "The result of a slight fracas
in the mess, sir,
with regard to the quality of a pudding
known as spotted dick.

Add me to the clickers.

I think there is kill stealing - when the pest is your level or close . Then there is harrassment when the pest is much higher. Kill stealing might be for points. But when the pest gets no points for doing it and follows you around repeatedly that is harrassment.

Dear Caves , Would you please tell me what happened to Timothy and Big Bad John. Does Lonesome Polecat and Hairless Joe stil co- habitate in you? Then would you attend a seismic event and convert to being a valley ?

someone please remind this dumb bunny why we have rent? I find it lacking purpose...

It's a comic book superhero based game and since all the hero and villain groups in the comics have to pay rent on thier various lairs, bases, and whatnot, it would be silly to not have the heroes and villains in a comic based game also shelling out rent like thier comic book counterparts.

Yes ! I remeber the time Kingpin was late on his rent and had to crash at the Green Goblins for a week and the Fantastic Four had there Fantasticar repoed. Not to mention Darth Vaders lapse of paying the Death Star electric bill causing a halt in going all Alderan on some planet. ;]

the problem isnt just in the ranged attacks, its in the number of attacks that they get at ALL levels. A friend made an MA arc and I ran it on a soft capped sr brute, it was effortless however he had a few messages from people who tried his arc who found it totally impossible, reason being was players at lvl 16 had to face the same attacks as I did as a lvl 50.

custom mobs are becoming more and more off limits and as a result what will be the point of MA? I fear its dangerously close to being another Arena, COP or base issue.

I have to agree with you. The arenas have been out how long and are barely used. I wonder if the zone pvp movement resrtictions were to try to nudge people back to the arenas.I am done with the ma myself - I made a misison with hth mobs in it but am told it was a exploit. Seems like a better beta test might have been a good idea.

I already unpublished my stories on both accounts.I'm done with the ma.

Ok , this goes in the definite buy category. Wow!!

I like them ,I think there much more fun to play than a Khled. I wish there were something hero side more like them.

Weird. I got the badge on a couple of characters for boringly converting brainstorms . I rember when the badge popped up and thinking big deal - throw me a bone for cleaning this mess up. Oh well .In fact I might have deleted that character already. I must need exploit practise.

I wonder who is in charge marketing , game developers or circular motion?

I got the Winters Gift Badge - it says slot in run , jump, fly or tport power. It won't go in Srpint or Hurdle so what can you put in at lvl 10 if you do not have the first flight power. This just seems like a waste of time and effort and could atleast have a disclaimer on the power.

Halos with no warning you cannot use them , Winters Gift you cannot buy. I tried to buy the universal travel power had over 3 million inf and 45 candy canes - got a message saying my inventory was full - which it was not. Did the misions on one of my low level alts and did not get rewards . Galaxy and Kings Row spawns switched . Maybe that is working as intended as it was switched last year.

I have made three shield users- the scrappers use too much end - can barely end a fight plying solo if there is more than 3 foes. The brute version seems marginally better but he is only half of the scrappers lvs. Might delete them all soon as other scrapper power sets seem better.

30 slots of salvage sems too small. And having to run a character or park a character to pay rent is not fun. I payed the rent Dec. 18 and it pops up rent due Dec.26. constant rent cycle almost begs for a better way to pay if we must. I have many alts and am in 5 Sgs and have to pay rent on most of them personally.

Mine is subjective.

Halos either need to be accessible from the moment you create them or have their recipe text change to reflect the fact that you must be Level 30 and have completed the aura missions, in order to use them.

I find it odd that wing recipes which are crafted from in game items and currency are available as soon as you craft them( as early as level ten), even if the person who crafted them doesn't have the requisite Veteran Badge. Shouldn't craftable auras fall under the same rules then.

Thank you for your Time

I agree.

Wow . I was counting on using my previous respec before the 21st. Guess NCNC did not feel the need to do what they said.

I don't have any use for the merit system it just seems like an odd add on . I don't do Trials or task forces or Strike forces . I do like fighting Giant Monsters but some of them seem hardly worth the effort reward wise. so for me the merit sytem is just flat.

Its all servers/zones as far as I'm aware. During I13 beta run on Test BaB said that the devs implemented that change by design to prevent a certain exploit (that no one could really figure out).

Its not just Sprint... its either all travel powers or all toggles in general. I usually deactivate my travel power AFTER I begin my attack on a given spawn (or switch travel powers... say Fly to Hover) to save on endurance. I usually do this by turning the travel power on.... advancing on a spawn, target a mob, queue an attack and as that attack is animating I hit the key that turns off the travel power so that it deactivates during the activation period. Now, I cannot do that, and find myself either spending significantly more endurance than I would like (by not bothering to turn off the toggle) or by causing a significant gap in my opening attack chain (which HAS lead to a couple of my toons face-planting as I repeatedly hit the key that detoggles the travel power that particular toon is using).

I bugged it last night for emphasis, but BaB stated that the devs are discussing it in order to see if there is a way to still prevent the exploit and not degrade the QoL for players in general who are affected by the change (many of whom voiced their opinions in the original thread).
BaB resorted to sarcasm, which didn't help matters any... and after that communication by BaB, nothing has yet been done to address the issue (most likely because there were/are bigger bugs to stomp out prior to- and post- i13's drop to Live.)
I am hopeful that it gets addressed relatively soon though... it puts a major "cramp in my style" as it were.

Thanks for the info. I face planted last night running my 18 lvl PB because of endurance and not being able to detoggle. Runners that run around a building force you to sprint or lose them and when you run into another mob I have always been able to detoggle and fight . This is just annoying .

1.I seems good if it's a new base or you want to dismantle the old one
2. On 2 bases no . On two other small base maybe.
3.Since I and my son and my friend are involved in 6 bases on 3 servers - quite a while.
4. Seems like players versus base on salvage now.
5.Have to rethink base building time versus playing time, salvage to outfit base versus salvage to outfit alts..
1.Have to spend too much time converting - it's City of Heroes not City of Converting.
2. Maybe the pathing changes
3.Small amount of time but I would rather play than learn the new system.
4.Market problems , pricing , availibility with everyone competeing for same things to build.
5.None as it is all family or firends in my groups but this slows down my consideration of other new members. I think it opens the door to people trying to get into sg's for looting problems.

Also 30 pieces of salvalge in a unit is too small. Also we are not intrested in base raiding - why build a base to let someone else come in and trash it.

I was late on my 51 month reward and petionted it and they fixed it that day.

Oh good another free something I cannot have due to geography or travel issues.

I wondered if there was anything that could kill the buzz about I12. I would like a redname to comment on the spyware issue. If this slows the game down or pop ups appear before you zone in - I'm done.Also if they start political or activism groups ads that will realy open the door to trouble. Imagine the fun -PETa, NRA, Planned Parenthood and Anti- abortion ads all in your game space .THey might need a new board and plenty of handlers to deal with that. I plan to opt out of the ads .
