  1. There are no storage bins for recipes. If you don't want to keep it on your character, mail it to an unused character to hold until you need it. I would recommend against using gleemail as storage, people have reported that they are losing items.

    As for the CoP, you need a Raid Telepad and an Oracle or Mission Computer.

  3. Air Superiority with Pounding Slugfest: Chance to Disorient slotted.
  4. Quite a few in the base-building community convert hundreds of millions of inf into prestige, I'd consider that an inf sink.

    More importantly, base-building is a time sink for players which I think is more in line with what the devs gear towards, than taking inf off the table. It's something to do during cool-down times, in between leveling.

  8. Been happening to me for a couple of updates now. As far as I can tell, it has to do with my camera distance. I tend to keep my camera 3-4 click out or more. If I gave my character next to the portal and zoom out it goes away, zoom in and it re-appears.

    Affects the O-portal in Ouro as well, zoom out and it will constantly re-spawn, zoom in and it functions properly.

    You know, a million years ago when i played WoW, I also used a few mods to make the game more enjoyable. Same with other games. I think, to me at least, using a few custom mods is part of playing an MMO, so I don't frown on CoX for needing a few.
    You would be talking about the How to silence specific game sounds thread, which also gives you directions on how to apply your own sounds to the game.

It's not a game breaker but having the extra row does make it easier to sort drops until you can combine while still keeping a few specific ones (break frees and purples mostly) available for tough fights.
    I like this idea Adeon. /signed


    As for the OP's idea, meh.

    We really don't need more inps slots. An often neglected item in the game is the Empowerment station.

    "Uh yeah. That was weird. What in the world was that?"

    "Dunno, but it was freaky."

    The next day we found out that a 4.1 quake had hit about 45 miles from the house.

    Not many people can say that the earth moved on their anniversary.
    LOL


    Reminds me of a night back in my first couple of weeks playing CoX, was on a PuG and I think it was one of the outdoor Warfolf missions. All of a sudden it felt as though I were getting dizzy. Looks at my bed stand lamp to see it wobbling.

    I typed into team chat "Huh, earthquake." To which one of my teammates responded.

    "Me too."

    I was o.O for a few seconds.

    Me: "Where are you?"

    Him: "Tiburon."

    Which is about 30 mins drive south of me. Small world.

    I've actually gotten in more Stalker time since GR came out then in all the last three years of playing, even though if you read the GR forums, some people are claiming that they are obsolete and at the bottom of the rung.

    Sorry, my original post (before getting dropped from the forums) was not worded as "you did PL" it was more like a "sounds as if".

    Ah, wasn't sure and I'm stuck at work and couldn't verify. Thank Bill.

    True, we will likely never perceive the game in the same way. Everyone has their own opinion on how the game feels for them.


    Also not being confrontational:

    But a couple of your statements don't add up for me...

    You are a returning player, that either PL'd or 'ground' your way past more than half the content in the game, and have already twinked out your character with an infusion of 1 billion inf.

    I understand that some players like to play at max level, blow through the lower levels as quickly as they can. (I think we heard from some of them when they went through Praetoria... "This **** is nuts!" "These mobs are too hard!" "WTF!" Granted the ambushes get a bit mind-numbing sometimes.)

    Likely what you are looking for is the I19 Incarnate content, much of it is for "end-game" players. Definitely check out the info page on it up in Announcements.

    And Welcome back to the game.

    <copies entire post, as these ******* forums have logged me out twice while attempting to post>
  16. I don't know, my level 3 character feels pretty heroic when taking on half a dozen even-con foes in a single mob, often with at least one Lt in there.

    Does Drain Psyche have a 'Animate in PvP only' option? I know on my Martial Artist, choosing that option effects the sound of her powers as well.

    Just a thought.

    I will state though, OK has had several earthquakes this year make the news. Now it's no surprise (at least to me) that OK has earthquakes. Actually the area generally gets the most in the US, they are just so low nobody cares or notices. But this was the first time I felt and heard one so, yay! for new experience! Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come though as this state is not, at least in my humble opinion, earthquake ready.
    I remember when I was stationed in Ark and they had a quake on the New Madrid fault, it was something like a 2.5 but it was shallow. Didn't even wake me up, but you should have heard the tales the next day.

    "It threw me out of bed!"

    "Knocked plates off the wall!"

    "Half the water came out of the fish tank!"

    Go for a swim?

    Sorry to hear that Michelle, you and Blood will be missed. But I look forward to things turning around and seeing the two of you next year.

    The only thing Im finding a bit disconcerting, is the fact that for a MMPORG, I've barely seen anybody who isn't an NPC
    I'm pretty sure Defiant has a couple of Mentors. Head down to the Server forums and poke you head into the Defiant server section and introduce yourself. Let them know if you are still on a trial account, as they have certain restrictions that limit your communication abilities within the game.
  22. I knew I was forgetting something... <.<

    My Illusionist is about half way through WWR.
  23. A lot of good advice here.

    My suggestion is to continue with the Mercy Island missions as they make for good training for new players. Plus there's a badge for snake defeats...

    You will get a variety of foes, many will be melee, some will be ranged. Snakes, Longbow, Infected, Skulls, and a couple of others that will be good practice on how your chosen powersets function.

    Having a Control set Primary, pulling and separating mobs is your best tactic. Lock down one, pull another out of line of sight (LOS,) that should give you enough time to finish off the pulled foe before the other one releases and comes after you.

    If you'd like to ask for some in-game help, head up to the Mentor Project and give a shout-out. You'll find people on every server that have offered to donate their time and knowledge to new players ("newbs", not to be confused with "n00bs" who are players that think they know everything and are unwilling to listen to anyone.)

    And, Welcome to CoX.

    Rub it in, Vorac.

    Looks like you're buying the first round.





    I foresee a lot of "first rounds" in your future...

    With the knowledge of inherent Stamina etc, I just cant seem to want to work on my characters. I always throw Stamina in whatever build Im leveling usually by 25 or so. I also like to respec once I hit 50.

    So what I see as my choices are:

    1. Play as normal, get stamina, then respec after i19.

    2. Dont bother with stamina, and be without end all the time. Then respec after i19.

    3. Play lowbie toons that usually wouldnt have picked up stamina yet. Deal with all other problems lowbie toons have, no end, acc, money, etc.

    4. Respec Stamina out now, add other powers, deal with recovery issues, then respec after i19, to add a slot or two in health or stamina.

    Yeah so I kind of feel stagnant, not sure what to do.

    Anyone else experiencing this? How are you playing for the next month? or so?
    My answer is a combination of 1-3

    1. Play as normal, get stamina, then respec after i19.

    2. Dont bother with stamina, and be without end all the time. Then respec after i19.

    3. Play lowbie toons that usually wouldnt have picked up stamina yet. Deal with all other problems lowbie toons have, no end, acc, money, etc.
