A Holiday for what? -
You need to post an image of the 52 synthetic enzyme enhancement. Personally, I only care about the crafted IOs.

I deleted an Alt on Freedom in January. She was an Electric Control Controller. She had reached level 29 but she didn't fit with my long term goals. My long term goals was to have a barn of Dominators and Masterminds. I have one hero controller who I will delete once her replacement, a hero dominator reaches maturation.
Also, I deleted several on Defiant(7) because the server was too low volume and I didn't want to pay to transfer them to Union.
My questions now for whether to delete an Alt follows:
1. Do I like what I've created?
2. Will I alpha slot this alt?
3. Can the alt(s) maintain themselves? If an Alt has no offensive powers. You can't Alpha quickly or it will be painful. This is why I'm deleting my controller.
The alpha slotting has changed my attitude toward my toons because it requires so much effort. If I don't 100% love my character, he/she is going to the delete bin. I'm not creating characters to do maintenance. Less is more with me. -
CP, this is a holiday weekend. How many times are you going to run this on Sunday?

I don't know if this an issue or not. Since we started the WTFs, my zoning is taking a longer time on my laptop. In the past, I would have pauses between 15-45 seconds but now the pauses are from 30-180+ secs depending on the map. It puts me way behind with my teammates. Sometimes, they'll get all the way across a map before I appear. Should I just reload both the EU and NA clients now that we have the NCSOFT Installer?
Also, Alt+Tab is harder to execute. -
I'll be on EU servers all weekend starting at 1pm Friday till noon on monday(EST)

Boxwood, I'm online tuesdays and thursdays and all weekend 24x7(18-21,2010) Look me up @gcarlisle2

Very, Very Nice. This game is coming together nicely. Way to go Paragon Studio/NcSoft.

Thank you SynakuOne, that was both pointless and racist at the same time.
Minstral is actually a term for a musician in the medieval era, the term was transfered to both African-American performers and so-called "black" American performers (there again musicians etc.) in the 1020's when white Americans would paint their faces black and pretending to be of African descent so to play typically comedic roles which African-Americans either were not allowed to perform in, or saw the role as to demeaning to participate in.
Let this go. I was in a hurry when I wrote this yesterday. I was trying to get my notice on the villian side. I misspelled Mistral and said Minstral. I did this online yesterday too and go "pecked" to death by the user base but I still go my notice so I DGAF now. -

Aside from a pure support toon, almost any arch can take on the kills in the first 5 zones, Bricks, Crey's, Terra, and Boomtown need two toons usually and perhaps 3 to accomplish depending on who's in that zone, Talos and DA will be comprised of a Trinity of toons, while FF and Eden will be assumed by most all of the TF.
I have seen this done on many occasions by Luna, Mr. E, and others in the Horde and it's effectiveness is well known by those who play with them regularly. It's much faster than only splitting up into two groups, in actuality you are effectively splitting up into around 6-8 groups. Thanks for the suggestion though, but I believe the Horde method is faster.

Anyone running ICE Minstral tonight around 6:30pm-7:00pm?. I've been trying all week and haven't found a team.

I read this article and felt Melissa was being cautious. Writers want to make a name for themselves. The questions he asked would have put people on the defensive, he was not really knowledgeable or concerned about the game in my opinion.
Examples:
1.Returning to City of Heroes a while back to check out the Going Rogue content, it seemed like the streets were a bit more ‘barren’ than in the game’s early days. While the City of Heroes game world has expanded, the player base doesn’t appear to have expanded with it, instead dispersing the same number of players over a much larger area. How do you think the Superhero MMORPGs can attract and retain more players?
I think the above question just points to the ignorance of the writer. Praetoria is a trial zone once you mature...you leave. The zone usage will vary depending on the number of trials and new players at any one time. This cannot be used as a measure of the realtime community.
2.Action-oriented MMORPGs such as DC Universe Online and forthcoming juggernauts Guild Wars 2 and Star Wars: The Old Republic are leading the way toward a new generation of MMORPGs. Turn-based combat seems to be slowly on its way out and faster, action-RPG style combat is in. Story telling has also advanced considerably beyond the read-a-dialog-box-click-accept model. How does City of Heroes plan to evolve or keep up?
What?
3. City of Heroes has done an outstanding job of continuing to add new animations, power effects, costumes, and other content to their character creation system. But visually the game is definitely showing its age. Will we see future visual improvements?
I have ultramode on my laptop but I play with the regular settings because I want faster game play. Even with Ultramode, two of my friends have been upgraded out of the game. Graphics require more memory and disk space. CoH is 3-4GB and DCUO is between 13GB(compressed) and 30GB(uncompressed). How much time do you want to spend downloading? Even at that DCUO isn't "Praetoria." Read their boards to hear about the game. Also, DCUO PS3 and PC are different platforms completely. You can't play with your friends competely on your terms.

4. Will there be a City of Heroes 2?
This is a noob question. City of Heroes has lots of life left why talk about COH 2?
5.Are there any plans to follow a Cataclysm-like mold and just blow the whole damn world to hell and ‘re-write’ old regions of the game?
Melissa answered this question in the first interview, why he's asking this again?
"While other games try to emulate that “magic formula” to be the big WoW-Killer, we incorporate systems that fit our game, our genre, our style."
6. Any plans for new giant monsters?
I'm surprised Melissa didn't laugh out loud at this question. Just Tacky!
7.Going F2P has clearly been a winning move for Turbine. Dungeons & Dragons Online and Lord of the Rings Online have both benefitted heavily in terms of subscriber numbers from switching to this model. City of Heroes already has an in-game store. Will City of Heroes eventually go completely F2P?
NCSOFT decides this not Paragon Studio. He talking to the wrong person. -
Quote:Everyone complains even I have at different times(My problems were related to client downloads). Simply, this game has the best hand2hand combat around. I'm not a speed run fan but finding quicker runs I am interested in. Every team arrangment in this game is different. Sometimes, I play with grinders(tanks mainly), they just pound. Sometimes, I play with Strategists/Controllers/Dominators who can set up hits for the other teammates.Originally Posted by Philtrum
Made me LOL when I read this.
The thing I like about CoH, and the reason I still play as much as I do over five years after first subscribing to the game, is that there are so many different aspects to the game.
For the first six months it was all about gettin a 50. Then it was about getting more 50s. Then I discovered the joys of scrapping.
Probably for 2-3 years I could never see the point of playing post-lvl 50.
After never being able to see the point of badging I got into that.
More recently, as you may know, it's speed runs that float my boat. It's just another challenge. If I end up teaming with someone who does not like speed runs, then a mistake has been made, as it's not my aim to drag someone through a speed ITF if they really want to pause, look around, go for a bio, do some facebooking during loading screens etc.
I have more 50s than I can reasonably manage, more inf than I know what to do with, I've done every TF countless times, I've played every AT, I've tried most powersets. The challenge, for me, and for a group of like-minded players, is to get the best 50 you can build, get the best team together you can, and get through a given TF faster than most people can do it.
I enjoy it. And others enjoy it. But I accept that not everyone shares this view.
There is more than enough room in the game for us all!
PS Attempting Apex speed record this evening. Wish us luck!
I'm in a 3D animation class and software engineering class this semester COH is the MMORPG case study. This game is amazing. Even DCUO, the wannabe challenger, is no where even close to this game. My friend invited me to CoH because it was the only MMO with a user mission creator. I haven't even used/designed with it yet because the game has so many dimensions to it.
Honestly, CoH has done things that other's couldn't or wouldn't do.
I take the long view with this game now. -
Quote:I have NA and EU accounts. I want to play with Euros. I created an account recently on the EU and I'm learning the ropes there. I created it so I could do the large events because they have newer servers and fewer people so they have no lag. They play different but I've committed myself to help grow their community. I see only the positives for the Queue.Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
To be fair, who really wants to play with Euros anyway?

Quote:I think this is a great idea PERIOD for the game. For several reasons:Originally Posted by HT_Ingram
OK I have played games that use anyone can queue systems to form teams. Here is the more then typical result.
1: team forms people take 1 look at each other and say NO WAY! and quit.
2: A random person has no idea whats happening and ultimate team fail till people quit.
3: no one uses it and does somethign else instead.
4: Everything takes 3x the time it should have and people never want to do it again.
5: People join and its all weak build n00bs and they can not win the battle cause there is no tanks and no healers.
Common outcome. FAIL.
Just curious, Personally I hope we can still form teams the way we always have in the past for these things. But if this becomes the norm, I can see a whole new level of rage team quiters emerging.
1. You get to play with different people. Broaden your mind! It takes real skill to win with any team. I'm tired of the Pseudo Leaders I see online who think being selective about everything and leaving people off of teams who can contribute. It's a waste and inconsiderate to have people come online with the little time we all have to waste it looking for a team.
2. No more having to post LFT or LFM. I'm hardcore and I'm wasting too much time looking for teams. On the new large teams, a new system has to be implemented. I can't spend/waste time trying to recruit very large teams.
3. On EU Servers, the users are mainly solo. I've never seen anything like what I see on those servers. They get mad when you tell them asking to team...in an MMORPG! On the teams, they fight and boot each other over petty stuff. It's no surprise the servers are so low volume. Tolerance is still a useful skills to acquire in 2011. -
6 PM IS the NEXT ONE< 4PM i a scratch

I'll get an incarnate done soon, right now I'm respeccing the stamina out of everyone.
I'll let you know when I can't participate. The range these are in, though, I'm going to use for levelling up some of my not-quite-main toons.
Also, re: double merits, would that work on a toon that was locked at 47 or so? Double merits sounds good. -

Why is it that southamerican customers get the short end of this?
I can't help to feel a bit discriminated just for my location
Need to use a proxy to buy the booster packs cause the "local retailer", that is in portuguese and the rest of spanish speaking southamericans don't understand them, dont even bring the booster packs.
And now we get this error, thankfully this one is more easily fixed.
Going to try the fix... Hope it works -

Hey I can probably make the 6pm run. Not sure which toon at this time though. Then I can make the Meg run at 8pm and somewhere in between smooch the wife and feed the dog. Or is it feed the wife and smooch the dog??? I get sooooo confused....

NP, Luna. The Tier 2 slots require lots of shards. I can patiently wait for the notices but the Shards I have to push harder to stack. I played the game through the firewall today using the Ncsoft launcher. This is real progress.
Edit: I can get to the login and I can select a server but I get a "cannot connect to DBserver"
