  3. What do you think I should pick up instead?
  4. I have never really looked into IOs before recently and I was wondering if you can critique my first attempt at this.
    This toon will be always on and duoing with a stone/stone brute.
    Also, can you try to ballpark how much this would cost? Didn't go for any purples...

    Any help is appreciated, thank you!
  6. There was somebody in Cap yesterday charging a million infamy per farm run, he got a lot of flack for it.

    Just was curious if this was discouraged.
  7. Thank you everyone for your response!

    If anyone has anything else to add please do
  8. Look back, add up all the money you spent per month and all the boosters you bought.

    I have spent over $900 on my account since August of 2005, and I recently got my girlfriend into the game, bought her the boosters as well, and spent at least another hundred.

    I am 21 now, and have been playing the game since I was 16. It is kind of shocking when I realize I have been playing this game from when I was in high school and from when I got my first car. Over the course of the game I moved out, met and now live with my girlfriend, and work for a very nice company.

    One weeks worth of pay is more than worth 5 years of regular updates for a wonderful source of entertainment and socialization.
  9. A few nights ago I logged in and started doing my ritual of broaddcasting "Level X X looking for team!" When that doesn't work I look for people my level or lower and send a tell "Hi there! Level X X, Could your team use a hand?"

    Normally I get one of 3 things "Sure, one sec", "Ask X, he is the leader", or "No thank you, we are full" to which I normally respond, "No worries, please keep me in mind if a spot opens. Take Care"

    However, here is how this conversation went.

    me: Hi there, Level 41 Corruptor. Can your team use a hand?
    him: no. I am sick and tired of people inviting themselves onto my team. If I wanted you on my team I would have invited you. Stop trying to intrude on other peoples team. I have no idea why people just don't form their damn own.

    I should have stopped there and let him be, but nonetheless...

    me: Well for one, that was rude. Two, I just logged in, maybe you could have used another and instead of wasting time trying to find somebody, you go ahead with the mission. From my point of view, why form a team without even trying to get on an existing one?
    him: Grow up kid, if you think that was rude you need to open your eyes, stop playing the game and walk outside. Also, welcome to my ignore list.



    EDIT: For the record, I was not spamming and they were not in the same zone.
  10. My girlfriend and I have been playing for a while on and off. We recently started to see the Magic of IO sets and it has actually been drawing us to play more.

    But, when we see stuff that we like and they go for 10-400 million I cannot help but be mind boggled on how people obtain that much money.

    I feel like we HAVE to farm if we want those IO sets.

    I was actually almost tempted into one of those RMT spammers, seems like the only way to obtain them.

    So, what are we missing that we are only getting 0-1 recipe drop a mission and a few thousand inf?
  11. My girlfriend and I got our MM/Stalker duo to 50(I will never play a zombie MM ever again). She wants to make a Soldier and I have never really gotten into the VEATs so I'm curious(I played. What would go best with her? Would a Soldier/Widow be a solid duo?

    Also, any budget build recommendations?
  12. Haven't heard any news about it other than there are plans for it.
  13. I put out a broadcast "Need help with Ghost Widow EB, level 48"

    I got a response from a 50 Stone brute. Upon joining the team he asked "...Do I have to be skd?"

    I tried to tell him about SSK, and he responded "...That's pretty lame."
  14. Why not just add an alternate animation to fly?
  15. So, for the last year I convinced my girlfriend to play CoX with me. She somewhat enjoyed it, but played it mainly for me. We had our computers side by side and she was running a computer with 128mb graphics card, 1.8ghz processor, and about 512mbs of RAM.

    Well, we went to tigerdirect and bought a whole new setup for her.

    I built the computer and loaded the game and she could not stop saying how great it looked, and that it was like a whole new experience.

    Now, she actually *wants* to play the game with me!

    Yay for new computer!

  17. All for it, just as there are no "Defeat X Boars in Cherry Hills" missions.

  21. I don't see this ever happening.
  22. I have been playing for several years now. One thing that I miss the feeling of being immersed. I was thinking of ways that the CoX experience could be taken further, so...

    Picture this. You are cruising around atlas and all of a sudden you see something like this on broadcast.

    "Ghost Widow: Greetings heroes of Atlas! Now doubt you have heard of me, I am Ghost Widow. I have some...business to take care of here. So, let's make a deal. You stay out of our way and we won't have to kill you. Since we all know you can't keep to yourselves, I've brought some of my friends with me. Heroes of Atlas! Meet Wretch."

    Maybe changing the color of the sky to a dark purple, arachnos start patrolling, etc. Maybe a Recluses Victory thing where you have a bar that measures how many arachnos must be defeated... etc.

    Vice versa with the Rogue Isles.

    "Manticore: Criminals and low lives of Mercy. We are looking for the hostages of Cargo Ship 889. If you comply, maybe we can get a month off your sentence."

    Then Wyvren just come pouring in.

    Feel free to expand.
