    My first 50 took 9 months, my Bro's first 50... over 3 years.

    Take a character you enjoy playing, talk to your contacts, and run the missions. You'll experience the content on your way up.

    After 3 years, there is still content I've not experienced.

    Oh and also, who here calls asking someone to join your SG threw a tell 'Spamming'?
    That right there constitutes spamming, sending one character a tell does not constitute spamming, sending the same tell to multiple characters does.

    Here's a situation:

    <eating dinner>
    <phone rings>
    Me: Hello?
    BU&U: "Hi, this is Joe Schmoe with BU&U and we have some great new services th..."
    Me: No thank you and I really don't have the time, I'm eating dinner."
    BU&U "Well, I certainly und..."
    Me: <click>
    <phone rings>
    Me: Hello?
    Daily Rag: "Good evening, I'm calling you to offer you a great deal on the Daily Rag, for just...
    ME: Don't want it, thanks.
    Daily Rag: "Any particular reason why?"
    Me: You comics section is only half a page.
    Daily Rag: o.O?
    Me: <click>
    <phone rings>

    See where I'm going?

    While, each of them only called me once (today,) I can guaranty you that they called 30, 40, 100 more people. That is spamming. Oh and how I wish I had an ignore button on my phone.

    Needless to say when I played on Champion more, I used to get so many blind SG tells/invites that I put in my search comment that "No, I don't want to join your SG, tells/blind SG invites will be /ignored."
  3. Rosen, sorry the other thread got Mod'd. All I can suggest is to make a deviantArt account if you haven't already and go from there. Or people can send yo PM's
  4. I've already got everything on my primary account (excluding the Party Pack, dot want.) Perhaps I'll add a couple to my secondary account...

    Chug is referring to Cyber Monday, I expect to see an official announcements in the forums at some point.
  7. I've gotten that error once before. I think I copied the error and bugged it through the Support - Ask a Question page.

    Try going directly to the NCsoft account login page and see if you get the same error. You could try PM'ing Avatea or TheOcho with your concerns as well.

    For those who have less modern GUP's or who dislike the effects it is easy enough to add an option to disable weather on your computer.

    Of course should I have to choose to have the weather right away or, say, 20 bright shiny new tiles for each set I would have to go for the new map pieces first. I have, however, wanted weather since before issue one. I loved the first time I journeyed into DA and found the dark and scary fog within.
    Well, for immersion sake, then perception would likely have to be halved. Rain/snow/fog always decreases visibility. Not to mention, AT's with physical weapons, will likely have a -ToHit. I mean, it can't be that easy to maintain a grip on your Broadsword when it's pouring down rain.

    Oh, and that Stalker Hide? *pfth* just look for the rain hitting nothing in midair.
  9. Out of my top ten character, three of them have the Fitness Pool, and I'll likely be respec'ing out them out of it.

    COH cyber monday

    On November 29th, Cyber Monday, Best Buy® Game Zone members can buy City of Heroes Going Rogue Complete Collection for $9.99 for one day only through BestBuy.com. Then go to the NCsoft store, where, everyone can buy some of the hottest City of Heroes(R) Booster Packs for up to 50% off. Cyber Monday is the best time to get your friends to try out City of Heroes, and get some cool Booster Packs at the same time!
    Emphasis mine.

    Looks like it won't necessarily be all the packs, nor all at 50% off.

    We've not got the Wedding pack on one account, nor the Mac/Valkyrie pack on the other. And neither account has the Party pack. If these are among the sale items, and if they're cheap enough (read: if the Party pack is among the 50%-off items), then I'll snag 'em up.

    Just curious -- I may be misremembering, but isn't there some weird security thing on the store where you can only buy so many items on any given day/month? If so, will that pose a problem?

    d
    I commented about that in another thread. As I read it, it looks like some will be 50% of, while other will be less. Likely the $10 packs will be 50% off and the $5-$8 will be less. Though until we see an official announcement clarifying the wording, no on knows for sure.

    Traditionally (in the US,) the Friday after Thanksgiving is know as Black Friday, while in the age of internet shopping the following Monday has become know as Cyber Monday.

    Well, mostly because the bars in Pocket D are dumps.

    Note that this is a far cry from "solid no." As with all things, we'll look at the priorities of the project at hand and introduce new tricks when they make sense. Cheers.
    You heard it here first, folks. We're getting a new tavern. My recommendations on interiors...

    Especially considering that most of those customizations wont lag my computer, which I doubt could be said about weather.

    I couldn't care less abut the speeders on the road. I'm more concerned that it appears that only drunks are given a license to drive in Paragon.

    Personally, I want an ice cream truck traveling the streets that I can buy inspirations from.

    Can someone clear this up for me? will issue 19 be released between the 25th to the 28th november or is that the duration of the thanksgiving holiday, and it will be released after that?
    Thanksgiving in the US is on the last Thursday of November, the 25th this year. Typically schools are out that Friday as well, so the holiday stretches through the weekend. (Hence the 25th - 28th dates WW gave.)
  18. I've met quite a few people in RL that I've know in the game, or on the forums. Matter of fact, some of them I play with in game because I met them in RL at HeroCon'08, then again at HreoCon'09 and at the M&G a couple of weekends ago.
  19. The only way I'd buy a third copy of GR is if I could get the Utopios version.
  20. Pum, you read my mind. I was going to suggest that you post down here in the S&FA forum.
