    This.
  3. Things that I would like to see:

    -Offline Costume Creator (with the ability to save, load, etc)

    -Out-game messaging program. I remember back in the day, there was a way to communicate with people on Battle.net without actually having to load up the game. And I hear you can msg people cross-game now with Battle.net (If you're on WoW, you can msg someone on Diablo or whatever)

    For the sake of simplicity, this could be global based. Bonus points if it showed server/toon name/faction. I'd love to have a plugin for Trillian for something like this.

    Reasoning behind this: I hate logging into CoH to find that either my friends are offline or teams are full/busy etc.

    -Smart phone app would be cool - Messaging capabilities (like mentioned above), "friends online," and such would be nice. Heck, even a tab to check if my stuff at WW sold would be cool (with the amounts listed)
  4. Hami raid was in progress and was just about finished.

    EPIC FAIL.
  5. Personally, I would take Combat Jumping over Jump Kick.

    If I'm going the Flight pool, I take Air Sup (generally).

    The base numbers on Hover and CJ are relatively low but the powers themselves open opportunities for slotting.

    Example: Both open at level 6. Need knockback protection? Slot a Karma KB protection. (At lvl 7 you can slot the lvl 10 if you can find one)

    Noticing you're not hitting as much as you'd like? Slot a Kismet 6% Accu.

    Or slot both!

    Need some more recharge time bonuses, slot a Luck of the Gambler 7.5% recharge.

    So yea, the defense bonuses may be on the lower side, but you definitely have options. And every little bit helps.

    Assuming you don't have the City Traveler vet badge, you'll need to pick one or the other regardless for your travel power. Worst case scenario is you have a slot to place a spiffy IO.

    If I'm going the SJ route, I use a macro to toggle between CJ and SJ. This way I can make use of the mobility and the defense bonus without have to search for the power.

    Virtue go boom?

    Sigh. And I didn't get to dance in the bowl at the Hami Raid
  9. It looks like one of the drop-down menus is missing from the Arena window (on the top left).

    Hopefully this will be fixed in a future patch.

    - 1 tank, battle axe/invuln
    - 2 defenders, stormy & rad
    - 2 controllers, kin & earth/bubbler
    - 3 scrappers, all SR (broadsword, MA, and spines)





    Best part: There was no agonizing draft pick. We just grabbed who was on at the moment and shared ideas as we went. Myriad is someone you always want on your team.

    Worst part: The grind on the greens. Usually, most Master runs are plagued with nerves, those split second screamers when someone drops to one hitpoint. Not so much on this one.. we cautiously cleared damn near everything. This Master's biggest challenge was patience.

    Unexpected: So. .. we knew going in that the green mitos, in their current condition, would be a *****. The bubbler was our VIP, she left zone to respec into group flight (note: this won't work on co-faction teams, as it would have auto -booted them) but... interesting side-note: clicking to leave the mission did not work, she had to Ouros portal out of the mission just to exit. Not sure if that is a bug or intentional?

    And yes, we did pinch a few extra plus size inspirations for the last mission from bases but not many. They really were not needed. The EOE's on Hami were - I'm a scaredy cat.

    Good luck to you all.
    Hey look, it's me

    I had fun on the TF. Granted there were times during the Hami Raid that I was utterly disgusted and frustrated, but other than that it was fine. Great company too

    We kept asking for Hami on Virtue but nada

    I was evening dancing in Oro!

    Overall, fun concept for the event, but the lag was just horrible horrible on Virtue.

    Atlas Park itself crashed a few times.

    I probably crashed out around 20 times (crash with send error report screen).

    Seriously though, there needs to be a way to allocate additional resources to heavily populated zones/server during these types of events.

    Concept: 10/10
    Fun Factor: 7 / 10
    Implementation: 5 / 10

  13. So after the newest patch, a few friends of mine kept complaining that it seemed as if Stealth was nerfed.

    Upon looking at the Real Numbers, it appears that Super Speed's Stealth and the Stealth from the Travel Sets, ex Unbound Leap +Stealth, are not stacking.

    (PVE) Super Speed = 35ft
    (PVE) Unbound Leap = 30ft

    This should add up to 65ft.

    Real numbers is showing as 35ft.

    AOE Stealth from outside sources, ex Arctic Fog are in fact still stacking.

    If this is WIA, I think this should have been noted in the patch notes.

    Otherwise, this bug is very annoying and I hope gets some attention.
  14. I'm not sure if this matters, but are you running in Windowed mode or full screen type mode?

    I run dual accounts on a Vista64 box with a GeForce 9800.

    Running them Windowed works fine for me.

    As a side note, if you do run Windowed, you might want to consider this command:

    /maxinactivefps 5

    By keeping the frame rate lowered to a snails pace on the inactive window, it should increase performance a little.

    It may be something you guys want to consider.

    Heh... a thought just popped into my head while typing this, The Television and Dr. Aeon should both get Facebooks and battle it there as well as on the forums. But I digress...

    For what's it worth, where I work, most of our business was generated through referrals and word of mouth. Unfortunately with other vendors that do what we do, and the internet, that doesn't work as well anymore.

    People have too many options these days and need to be reinforced on why they should be using your product as opposed to the next guy's.

    Anywhos, I still <3 CoH and hope it continues forever and ever.

    /sigh
    They revamped the hero-side cape mission, updated the Halloween event (which is triggerable) and added the Winter event.

    Also, iirc they added the Ulterior and Vines costume pieces.

    My time-frame may be slightly off, but still... new stuff.

    Also, Issue 16 was released within the past 6 months.

    So yea... I see lots of new stuff
  18. Do we get to keep any tokens that are leftover after the free transfer period is done?

    I will concede that point for now... *shakes fist*
  21. Congrats to the promotions, hires, etc

    But the whole "Here's news that you will be getting news soon(tm)!" is getting a little old.

    While it's still better than no acknowledgment at all, it's still rather irritating.

    Anywho, grats again and keep up the good work!
  22. There has to be a better way of getting these types of announcements to players other than posting them on the forums.

    I can't even speculate on how many people use the forums versus how many actual players there are, but I do know for my immediate group friends who I play with, I'm probably the only one who regularly checks the forums.

    In my opinion, getting information to players should be more of a priority - either via Email, in-game pops/GMOTD, etc.

  23. I've spent much time in Atlas Park on Virtue running the Winter Event. Depends on the time of day, but the interest is still there.

    Another week of easy merits? Yes please.

    I still wish there was a way to access the Winter stuff year round. Like maybe running a Task Force that opens the Ski Chalet for a certain period of time. Or completing a series of missions from a contact that gives you a temporary pass.

    The BNY missions should be locked until the event is officially started though.

    But I digress...

    Anyways, thanks for the extra time, etc etc etc. <3
