    Then why not make it large enough so every doesn't have to petition?
    I'm opening a ticket now to confirm this and I will post the reply.
  2. This tool is enough to get you into the game and to differentiate yourself from others. CoH's "stagnating" Costume Creator is still way more than what others have. Also, do you buy the boosters? They have additions.

    Did you come from DCUO? Their game is different from COH. PVP and PVE are on separate servers there and you have to buy/earn all high end costume pieces.

    My advice to you, buy the CoH boosters and the costume stuff will take care of itself.

    One more thing GR will let you create charcters in CoV, CoH and Praetoria. In Prae, you can create any of the archetypes in that zone.
  4. Freedom is not overpopulated and your are out of your mind. You should be proud to be on Freedom...this is the fastest leveling server in the CoH Universe. If you can't find a team, you need to post your gameplay times and your global handle.

    Freedom has lots of 50s though. What levels are your toons? I have lots of 50s and several 20/30/40 toons. I play regularly and will be online the next 4 weekends after this one if your serious.

    This is a true statement that I will agree with you on. What is Hurley's role in this show? I thought she was like mother wonder woman or something. "IF" this show should make it, we will need to see a Wonder Woman eventually :-)

    Regardless I really don't have a problem with Lynda doing a cameo. As a recent example we can see how Richard Hatch had a cool role in the new Battlestar Galactica show which had nothing to do with his former role as Apollo on the original show.
    Hatch had a totally different role on BSG. Hatch is a guy too. The rules are diffferent for men. If Lynda shows up on the show they will compare the two. To insult/put a nail the new WW, they'll probably build up Lynda just to for spite/add excitement. Viewers love showdowns with Women!! Brings to mind WWF, Sable(Lynda) vs. Luna(new WW)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO2n3mTlPsU - Fans helped Sable just like Lynda in real life :-)
  7. We need some solution. I don't care what it is. I'm probably going to waste 8 hours trying to "discover" my new SG bases. The owner/creator get the base edit window which allows the to see the base for construction purposes but I'm a grunt SG member now and I just get the plain map with no visual rights.

    3) Take it if you've got the space. While you *could* use it as a situational power, chances are, in any situation you're in that couldn't be overcome without Serum, you're better off just running than trying to salvage a win with Serum. Instead, use it as often as it's up- it'll make your Commando a happy (addicted) camper. When the crash comes, give him a blue and he'll keep chugging along.

    Hope this all helps
    Your comments are good except for this one, number 3. I just carry extra greens and blues. That's the 2011 "serum."
  9. How about this one?

    Diana Prince meets Wonder Woman :-)

A new Wonder Woman actress was not only going to have to be accepted as a new Wonder Woman but she was going to have to be a suitable replacement for Lynda as well. I seriously don't think ANY actress really could have done that to the complete satisfaction of everyone. Adrianne may not be perfect (and I've even said I'm not sure I really like her either) but at least she'll start the process of moving us away from thinking "only" Lynda can play the role. If we don't get past that we'll never see another Wonder Woman show ever.

    As far as "planning" for TV time I've been watching TV via TiVo for around 10 years now so that's not a significant issue for me. I'll simply watch it whenever I have the time.

    This brings another comment to mind. Lynda Carter should not be allowed to cameo on this show. That is a recipe for disaster. Even old Lynda Carter is more woman than what TV is trying to push us now. I can see the headlines now, "Wonder Woman meets the Real Wonder Woman!!"

    And that's cool and okay. I don't have a lot of time personally, I'm always looking ahead to plan my time. I just don't watch TV to watch it. I plan it or I watch it later when it hits DVD.

    This show has not attracted the right talent to do it justice. It's sad really but no one yet can present a modern version of WW. They keep on trying to recreate some part of the past that simply is dated in 2011. I go out on a limb and say this but WW must be "reborn" physically to be sucessful. Lynda Carter will have to die too :-) Her image "as Wonder Woman" is preventing WW from getting her due like Batman and Superman. Lynda Carter is Wonder Woman in many people's minds. For example, I have a home in Columbia, MD. Lynda lives in Potomac, MD. She is so adored by the community here it would just make you sick. She is WW to many here and they just don't want someone replacing her yet.

    I make no predictions about how this new Wonder Woman show will do. But once I actually WATCH it I'll be much more able to either rip it apart or praise it as the case may be. I've been wrong in my guesses far too many times to really assume anything about Hollyweird anymore. *shrugs*
    Smallville was different. They targeted it a very specific group. Smallville was presented in "Young Adult" vision. This subtle difference is what made Smallville successful. It reached it's target audience without being compared to the Mature Smallville we know in DC Comics. They even gave it a different title to set expectations,"Smallville."

    This is what the Wiki says about Smallville:

    The longest-running comic book based series in television history,[3] Smallville began its tenth and final season in September 2010.[4] The series follows the adventures of Clark Kent (Tom Welling), who resides in the fictional town of Smallville, Kansas, during the years before he becomes Superman.

  13. Darn boards is logging me in and out

    Honestly, they picked the wrong girl...she has a gimicky outfit...they are doing poor...very poor promos for this show. Is this the best they have to offer us? The shots to the public should be better than this. This is haphazard. This show is DOA.

With very little effort you could dig up "prototype" test pictures of just about any genre show you could think of. To think that the first Wonder Woman picture we saw at the top of this thread was going to be the "final" version of the outfit was just silly on your part.

    At least come up with some reasonable reasons to dislike this show.
    You can call it a stupid comment and I will accept that. They clearly have not done their homework on Wonder Woman.
    They only group that will "buy" this version are the under 18 who have had no exposure to WW in any other form. The rest of us will puke at this version PERIOD.

    This is a great comment. Where's her lasso, too? What I see her with is chicken wire.This show is going to be a joke and the thought that they are still changing based on audience feedback says they have no creative direction/talent involved.

    Is this the same girl? Jez, I still hate this show. They should have made her boots knee high. They don't look right. And what's with the goofy armbands branded with WW. Just battleworn bracelets please. They need to just give her a black jacket and be done with this.

    Look at this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7Nf-m6WGl4
    This has WW details.

    But's let's talk about something else. What kind of personality is this new WW going to portray? Flirty, Aloofness, Butch?

    Edit: I'm looking at this picture again. This woman has no body! WTF! This is a girl not a woman!! Jesus! This show won't even make it to DVD/Home Video.

    I predict high day one ratings like the bionic woman and then the same path. I see a mid season cancellation here.

    I've been on some similar monstrosities, and I've gotten confused.
    I think your on to something if your being serious. I joined 7 SGs over the 18-21 weekend and I have to "learn" all of them. This slows my progress in the game now. I'm really starting to appreciate the solo SG.

    Moving along, I think at least key areas/items should be color coded for base members. Vault, Salvage Rack, invention/enhancement stations and of course the exit.
  20. Mercs, Mercs, Mercs and more Mercs. Quick question. I'm leveling my first MM. I reached level 34 this weekend and got access to something called Tactical upgrade. I'm not sure how this power works. During play, I used it. I thought it worked liked equip mercenary but I think I got this all wrong.

    Equip Mercs - when I first used this I thought all mercs got upgraded. When I used this they all got helmets but the wiki says only one does.

    http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Mercenaries

    Tactical upgrade - I thought this was for all too but it seems I have to do every merc for this. I went through the Ouro portal and I had a tactical upgrade drop for all minions.

    Follow up questions:

    Zoning seems to automatically enable these features. Also, if I have to enable each merc this is time consuming during combat but this would explain why the mercs "seem" to be least amount the MMs. Finally, I thought burst and rifle was for me but it's really for my minions, right?
  21. Capt,

    I don't have any problems with you. I'm sorry if you feel that way.

    I'll post some details about myself so we can move forward. The alpha stuff demands a lot of time. In addition to my regular times, once a month I dedicate a weekend to maintain and PROGRESS towards my shard goals. In my mind, I have a number like 1600 shards. This number haunts me in my sleep. This game can easily steal your time due to it's design. When I did my 12 alphas on Diva, 25% of the time was spend clearing, crafting, selling salvage, recipes, and enhancements. I hate this part of the game with a passion. I'm very happy to have a routine to play with a group regularly. Last year, I had to tell, LFM, LFT on almost every engagement. Sometimes, it would take me an hour each time to build a team and that's assuming no one quit.

    I'm single and I'm managing this game barely. I can't imagine how married people with families deal with this game. These are my comments for March 17, 2011

    No offense, but you continue to question how I handle the event and you keep making suggestions on how I proceed to run the event, if you don't like the way I do it, you are welcome to create a different event, The Weekly Strike Target is not exclusive to Sunday, it can be run all week long. So forgive me if I don't honor your personal holiday.
    I think you misunderstood me Capt. My comments are just comments/words. Please don't take them personally. I maintain two accounts on NA and the EU. I'm always looking into the future because my time is so valuable. Did I ask you to honor my holiday? I thought it was a holiday weekend. My Mistake.

    Simply because Toshiba private labels Kingston memory doesn't mean only Kingston memory works in the machine.

    If you took this way from the conversation with the technician, you either misunderstood or were being sold a bill of goods.

    If "only" Kingston memory worked, you wouldn't see pages specifically devoted to it on the sites of other memory wholesalers. Especially ones GUARANTEEING compatibility.
    Hey, Hyperstrike, do me a favor, contact this vendor and find out why their $hit didn't work on my laptop. I'd contact them but Ebay booted them off their site after my transaction.

    Greetings!
    Please include this RMA# R225739 on the outside of the package.
    You may send it back to:
    UpgradeTronix
    301 Yamato Rd. #1240
    Boca Raton, FL 33431
    sales@upgradetronix.com
    Sales Order U355235


    We will issue a refund after the memory is received. If you like to get the money faster, please got to HELP on eBay and click RESOLUTION CENTER and file a case requesting a refund. Ebay will address this faster since our account is not active and the refund will be issued with a few days.
    Thank You

    Here is my last email communication with the vendor:

    Who am I speaking with now? I noticed the email name changed. Who is Omni Technologies and how do you relate to Upgradetronix?

    I'm pretty angry with this deal. I don't understand why this memory won't work. Before I bought this memory, I specifically called and talked/asked your sales guy if this would work with my model and he said yes. What brand of memory is this specifically? I purchased a new laptop and this thing is flipping out with this memory. It reboots. I've lost data. I'm having a hard time dealing with Toshiba to get any resolution. I sent my laptop to them to get this resolved and they said it's the memory but I just can't believe this.

    Toshiba recommends Kingston Memory. What kind of memory do you use? What could be causing this problem? This computer has been useless a month. I have to get to the bottom of this.

    In January 2011, I purchased 2 KINGSTON KTT1066d3/​4G 4GB DDR3 Laptop Memory Modules and the Laptop is problem free.
  24. Your information is incorrect. I will make these comments and then I'm not posting again.

    In December, I bought a new Toshiba Quad to experience ultramode and to be able to run Vmware. I required at the time an Intel chip that supports "VT." I bought third party memory and my computer flipped out. I contacted Toshiba. They asked me some questions then shipped a box UPS second day and I sent them the laptop back.

    After the tech looked at it(1 day), he sent the laptop back 2nd day (less than 5 days total)and emailed me. He said that the memory I had in the computer was unsupported by Toshiba and invalidates the warranty. I asked him what memory doesn't invalid the warranty. He said Toshiba private labels Kingston. I bought Kingston memory on ebay and have never had problems again. I have the tech's email if you want to verify my story.

    SERVICE ORDER V-21372501, First Name: Octavio, Tech ID: oxg3, ToshibaRepair@tais.toshiba.com

    Also, my laptop has a low level Intel HD graphics cards using shared memory and I was able to get Ultramode with it. I had to upgrade to the latest "Intel" windows display drivers though. I had to manually uninstall the windows update drivers to make this all work. The video card listed above should have no problems whatsoever running ultramode because it is way superior to one I have.

  25. Capt,

    Numina is a good jog. I ran it earlier this week. Can you split us up in teams so we don't have to all run around? Here's a suggestion for 2 teams based on 8 members:

    Perez Park(Team 1)10 kills
    Atlas Park(Team 1) 10 kills
    Steel Canyon(Team 2) 10 kills
    King's Row(Team 2) 10 kills
    Skyway City(Team 2) 10 kills
    Faultline(Team 1) 20 kills
    BricksTown(Team 2) 20 kills
    Crey's Folly(Team 2) 20 kills
    Terra Volta(Team 1) 20 kills
    Independence Port(Team1) 10 kills
    BoomTown(Team 2) 20 kills
    Talos Island(Both Teams) 30 kills
    Dark Astoria(Both Teams) 30 kills
    FF(Both Teams) 30 kills
    Eden(Both Teams) 60 kills and finish

    also, I'll have Lady Attitude this week.
