i just want a custom title of my post count ever gets obscenely high, or i qualify for a custom title for some other reason. Bastardo! would be a title i would enjoy.

The rep meter? Eh, not overwhelmed.

Eh, the blue-grey(ish) is acceptable.
i do miss the option to jump to new posts, and a few other features.
Not sure if they're supported, or will be enabled.
Still, it's all shiny and new; now comes the period of adapting to the new environment.

I've been under the personal opinion (though I could be incorrect) that Going Rogue was going to come out before i16, since i16 feels like it's going to be coming out around February (guess), and Going Rogue would make perfect sense to coming out for Christmas.

That's just my feeling since people need to buy Going Rogue and they don't need to buy i16.

Back Alley Brawler said that I16 would be coming out before Going Rogue.

[/ QUOTE ]
At the San Diego Comic Con it was announced that i17 would be Going Rogue.
Also, i16 should be going to test in about a week or slightly more at this point.

Friday i should be at a con.
Same with Saturday and Sunday.
Still, i might fit some play time in.

Thanks. I went ahead and dropped it, but thanks for the info on the /petition. Luckily, my drop had just reset.

[/ QUOTE ]i had the same thing happen last week with a scanner mission that was the same setup, but with Nemesis instead of Arachnos and in Founders' Falls. The team i was with reset it several times, but it still wouldn't complete. The next day i tried it solo with the same result. i'd used the drop option a day before the first run and couldn't drop it, so i petitioned. The GM confirmed that all enemies and objective had been cleared and said it was a bugged mission. i suspect one of the scanner mission templates is broken. It was a stop the robbery mission on one of the less common shop maps.

i included the map file name and mission name in the bug report i filed. Hopefully it will get fixed soonish.

Perhaps I am just burned out but I have kept my subscription active in support of what I believe has been a truly great game. I just have not logged in for about 6 months and I still find no desire to log back in which is why I have finally canceled my account. I just feel there is nothing I can make anymore that I have not already made.

Like I said the ability to color change completely is what I wanted and would have opened many possibilities in what I could have made. I use that rubies thing as an example. It may be their decision for artistic reasons not to do it, but they lost me because of it. It would be fair to say that they may have lost me after a few months even if they allowed it, but I guess we will never know.

I suppose my problem boils down to the fact that I feel like there is not a single thing in the game that I have not already done or explored, and even the content I have not done doesnt feel different from everything else enough to get me excited. I suppose it's just my time to move on. Owell, I can't really bash the game, I have about 60 months in vet rewards. Can't say I didnt enjoy the time. I just wish there was something they could do that would save me from leaving so that I could enjoy the game again and I was hoping Issue 16 would be it.

You know... There is a whole boxed expansion coming with several NEW ZONES in it?

I'm having a serious cognitive dissonance moment here. I hope I'm not having a stroke.

Nothing quite so Cronenburg i'd think. She said "stroke", not "Scanners".

...There doesn't seem to be a mod about.

We have a few hours until the current boards go down for good and we get a new system that most likely can't be broken by ziggurats of doom since it will automatically dismantle them as they grow too large. Now would probably be the absolute final chance to build a pyramid worthy of the title epic.

Then again Mod 8 already did indulge us in allowing a final pyramid of epic scale at Bronx's request on Sunday, and even left a sticky at the top as a nod to those who witnessed its glory.
...
Yeah, never mind was i was going to suggest. Just pause a moment to remember, or at least acknowledge, that the Champion forums were home to the last, and perhaps greatest, quote pyramid of the old boards.

And damn do i look forward to new forums with functional search and greater stability.

The old boards are dead! Long live the new flesh!

Err, boards. Whatever.

uccessfully completing your first lv5-9 Mayhem will get you a Temp Travel Power good for 2 hrs of Flight time (Once it's gone though, it can't be reaquired).

[/ QUOTE ]

Villainside, this isn't QUITE true. There's someone in Grandville right in front of Lord Recluse's statue selling flightpacks for 10K apiece.

[/ QUOTE ]There's a jet pack vendor in CoH too, it's just that the Hero vendor is in the Shadow Shard which so many people seem to not know exists. (And unlike Grandville, is restricted to lv40+)

[/ QUOTE ]
Really, i think it's the 40+ gating that makes the hero vendor so unpopular. Redside it's not uncommon to make the trek to Grandville at any level you think you need a jetpack to get one. i joined a villain SG the other day on a new (to me) server and as part of the tour i was escorted to the GV vendor as a level 2. No lackeying needed, just took the base portal. Then again, it's really not very difficult to make the trek by yourself even at level 1 if you wanted to do so. Slow, maybe, but not very hard. The 10k inf is a bigger barrier, such as it is.

Spankenmonkey: Different people have different levels of tolerance for illiteracy.

We're not your English teachers. Nobody's paying us to read your crap.

If you WANT people to read your crap, try and make it easy on them. If not, then why are you posting?

[/ QUOTE ]That's a little harsh. While i did come across as a bit snarky, his post lent itself to the impression that he was in high school, as i see that "style" of writing most often at roughly that level. Which is a somewhat silly assumption as i've read some CEO emails that were abominations in the eyes of all literacy. Anyway, i was thinking that the OP was in fact in high school, and in that context it was meant as serious advice, not simply snarkiness.

Still, as an earlier poster pointed out, the only thing we can judge someone by on the boards is their writing. Write below a high school level and it should be understandable if occasionally other people think you're in high school. It's not like chat in game where you may need to write quickly and can't take the time to proofread or edit.

[i]Edit: One of J_B's extra periods apparently wandered into my post. Fixed.

BTW, i want a game mechanic like the one in your avatar to be added to this game so very badly. Replace Dimension Shift in Gravity Control with a power that does that and it would be a winner.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hum seeing how this was taken from the Beta of Aion... I'd say the mechanic already exist only problem is it's on the Crytec engine so i'm not sure they could pull it off in CoX

[/ QUOTE ]Obviously it exists as a mechanic in other games. However it is not possible with the current CoX engine.

oh ok I see.

the news paper just appeared under contacts.

so I made me a fire wielding,stone armored mutated brute

I seem pretty tough. is that a good build. it would be a bummer too find out my guys sucks. after hitting lvl 20

[/ QUOTE ]

It's pretty solid. Not the best build and not the worst. You trade damage for survivability later, but that won't be until after level 38 and Granite Armor.

[/ QUOTE ]

what would be the best build for a brute.

Not every language has an equivalent punctuation system, but in English a question mark (?) is used to indicate when a sentence is a question and not an exclamation or statement. This may not seem important now, but in the future you may find that most occupations that are higher paying and more prestigious than mopping restaurant floors or washing dishes are difficult to get without basic punctuation skills.

As for builds... i would suggest reading and asking in the Brutes section of the forums. There are already many threads with detailed builds posted there, and you can create a new thread if you can't find one that already answers your "question".

i tried to reply saying that it looked like Ocho was so tired from SDCC that he slept in and missed the thread when i got the access denied message. So close.

The avatar is from Boondock Saints IIRC. Awesome movie, a must-see.

I like this one. 4 out of 5 bacons. I came from the i15 forums recently and after reading the OP I feel a little less like tearing my eyeballs out and feeding them to my grandmother in a satanic ritual to bring the Ultimate Evil to this world in order to utterly destroy it.

[/ QUOTE ]NOOO! Feel the burn, feel the HATE. Don't let a bit of whimsy sway you from your destiny! i will use lots of exclamation points to emphasize this!!!!1!!!!1!ichi!!!!one!!!!!!ein!!uno!!!!!!!!!n inja hedge!!!!11!!!!!
