  1. we need a power that lets you cut off the head of a defeated player and display it as a cut sceen.

    well then, maybe you should just relax and realize that the game isn't about names. it is about playing with friends and having fun. if someone want's to name their fire/fire whatever Captain Corn Popper then thats fine with me. same as if someone want's to name their ice/ice or ice/cold or cold/ice Slushy Pants.

I understand that purple are super rare but ask yourself this, why are they so expensive now on the black than before the merit system went on line? I mean be realistic, 250,000,000 infamy for one recipe! Give me a break! I understand that the population drop caused a big portion of the shortage, but there is no way to earn that much infamy by playing the game. I have been on this game since 2004, and I am still a badge shy of that accomplishment. The system needs a revamp.

    And for the record, Strike Forces and Task Forces are the same thing, one for the Villian side and the other the Hero side if they are short change SF's that is a whole different issue.
    hate to tell you but purples never dropped from the random recipe roll at the end of sf/tf's. and there also was never a choice of getting salvage at the end. also purples were introduced in i12 and merits started in i13. the purples went up in price due to i14 and everyone farming the AE which is where all the infl/inf came from.
  4. post a cohhelper report and we'll be able to tell you more about it.
  5. when i read the title of the thread all i could think about was a big old gradma rocking chair.

    And another...ooooohhh I wonder what I might get... moment, which I always like.
    for one of these just earn merits and tickets and random roll.

    This would help with a number of things, stop the market being flooded with them and stabilise the prices.
    the prices on these has been fairly consistant from what i have seen.

    Help to unclutter those 4 benches full in the SG base.
    maybe it's time to tell the sg that they are there for everyone to use.

    i was gonna say, you kinda need murky cloud. it's one of your shields. but glad to hear you got it fixed.
  8. but you are still missing the point that while you sit there playing that toon the name you have finally come up with has a 99% chance of being used. name generators, a thesaurus or dictionary can help cut down on the time you spend thinking of a name.
  9. let's see, it's a purply black and red color now... try maybe a light color effect blue/green mix maybe... or off white/orange. the light color effect should cut down on the flow look of the miasma i think.
  10. i'm not really sure that changing the colors will help if it is the effects that make it hard to play for you.

    If you are removing inf by the creation of tickets there would be a difference.
    not really. all it will do is cause more ticket farming for people to get more gold rolls to make more infl/inf because prices will rise for a bit. i see this as being a big circle just like when AE first came out. then the devs would nerf it and people would ***** and whine and we are back to square one. what i am reading, and i may be reading to much into the OP, is that they still can't afford purples or unique io's. if that is not the case then i do appologize for reading to far into it.
  12. that's why you come up with a name first while playing other toons. you already know what power sets you want so all it comes down to is naming the toon. think about how mad you will be if you get to 25 with a generic name holder only to find out that the name you want is now taken.

    didn't we learn our lessons when all people were doing was farming AE tickets? prices rise.
    i would rather have the infl/inf to prestige exchange improved to create a better infl/inf sink.
  14. yeah. you definately have to be in the tunnels in wolf's throat for them to count.
  15. dom's and corr's, in my experience, can be a little slow starting but more then make up for it after around lv 25 or so while solo. they can solo and team well though. for doms, think troller w/ blaster powers. for corrs, think blasters w/ debuff/buff powers. both are very fun to play and can be "in your face" types as well as sit back and see everything.
  16. we already have enough currencies in the game. we do not need anymore.

    If you die in a mission with a Collector, whatever inf you have is taken from you to pay off this debt.
  18. how many people do you know that will put their item in ww/bm so that it doesn't get dupped? i don't even need my hand to count because that number is zero. and you seem to miss the coding nightmare that this would be.
  19. go back and read the OP. this is a thread that should have been stickied and locked and all replies deleted. all it was was a bunch of answers to help everyone who is whining that they can't afford purples for all their toons understand the idea behind purples.
  20. and another reason that there seem to be less people on is because the halloween event is on test server right now and people are testing it to make sure it comes to live with as little bugs as possible.
  21. that is what media player is for. you can run it while running CoH. all you have to do is turn down the music and special effects for the game and you can hear it. or get an mp3/ipod and listen to it while playing.

    oh and just to add, that would be changing the games programming which is a BIG no no. you can get your account banned for it.

So in my opinion people should bring back farming so that people can actually start leveling again and these problems will go away. Anyone who agrees please respond, and if farming is decided to be put back in respond. I am beging you to put farming back in because for me one place I go to every ones to weak and everwhere else they are to strong.
    you should have been trying the actual content, before the AE was implemented, which is still there. if it bothers you to actually play the game then maybe games aren't the thing for you. don't expect to just sit there and have blind invites thrown up in your face, get out and start your own teams and run missions. you will level pretty fast doing that. get a radio/paper and do those missions until you get a contact. then go to the contact and do those missions. and please do not blame other games for your lack of teaming ability. people are in level appropriate zones doing missions. so find out what zone is appropriate for your combat lv and go there.

    i give you a 2/10 uniquedragon rating.
