    EDIT: it's worth noting that I don't play enough with any one character or server to really be a SG/VG member, so this really is about pickup teams.
    Form your own. Learn to use the search tool, send directed tells with good grammar and enough info for players to make a decision, and you'll have a full team before you know it.

    BAD: Tell player, wanna team?

    GOOD: Tell player, level 31 team running croatoa missions, want an invite?
  3. Anyone have a link to it? Or can copy/paste instructions?

    Also, anyone have suggestions for good taunt insults for a WW2 hero?

    @jwbullfrog: Do you off hand remember how high spawns are in orange areas? +2-+3?

    //Jack
    It's based on the level of the zones, which have varying ranges. Green is a safe area or minimum zone level, yellow/orange are medium, and red is near the zone cap. For example, in Skyway City, 10-19 zone, the yellow area at the north end of the zone has mobs from 10-15 while the red area at the south end has mobs that are 17-19.

    TF Times

    Here's a good list that was created for mobile users: http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddb97fvv_20fpc8r9gn

    It has every TF, estimated time, merits and a summary of the missions.

    Which developer

    Just to clarify, JLove is the costume designer, but doesn't have anything to do with the actual implementation of the creator, so if it's anything involving the GUI or programming, he's the wrong guy.

    Because it's Ultimus. He likes to take existing topics and make his own.

    Edit: He's the thread he got it from: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?p=2131585

    I have a brute named Pwnzasaurus Rex, a dinosaur the Freakshow got a hold of and... modified.

    Dev Digest

    Woot! You got stickied!
  10. I too have done the train entrance/exit glitch, but my best newb moment was when I was teaming with some level 50 SG mates in PI when I was in the mid-30s on my first character. No mission was set, so I was wandering around portal corp and I found these big blue glowie things - so I clicked on one and entered a level 50+ mission alone. My SG started laughing and asked if I was going to solo that mission.
  11. Have you made other transactions in the last 24 hours?
  12. Short answer: No.

    Long Answer: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooo.
  13. Stalkers are incredible soloists. Now sure what your primary is, but my dark melee stalker leveled extremely fast.

    For building teams, use the search tool, join an active SG, talk on global team-building channels and keep an eye on broadcast when you're in zones.
  14. I use a wireless Logitech mouse and my only complaint is that the connection fails every now and then, which essentially freezes my mouse for about 10 seconds. Other than that, it's wonderful as long as I keep my eye on the battery life and pop it on the charger overnight when it gets down to one bar.

    From the article:



    That was from a Comicon interview with Matt Miller and Joe Morrissey. Barring any major unforeseen obstacles, looks like i17 will be concurrent with GR as a few others have asserted. Exactly what all will be free versus what will be part of the paid expansion has not been made clear. But that quote makes it pretty clear that i17:GR::i6:CoV.
    You seemed to have missed the last paragraph:

    They could not talk much more about it other than to say that they would have missions and areas for new characters as well as level 50+ characters. Although we did joke again about Ninja Pirate Monkeys. Yes, the expansion after #16 is Going Rogue... the Space Expansion. This is a joke, readers. No Ninja Pirate Monkeys down the line. Unless of course, the joke is too good not to make true in an April Fool's Day event.

    You'll probably have more luck asking in the PVP help section.

    I'm not sure a Dev has come out and said that, though, but since I16 should hit around September it sounds reasonable.
    Ok, I didn't think there had been any official word - just more hopeful player speculation.
  18. Quick tip: If you have a delivery to Steven Sheridan, the base TP to Brickstown drops you right around the corner from him. You can then open an Oro portal and jump right back to PI. Total round trip time should be under 2 minutes.

    I mean, it's CALLED ParagonWiki and that's the domain that TonyV actually owns. If it ever moves again, we have to go through the whole song and dance about correcting people all over again. Am I right?
    Because for a while, ParagonWiki directed folks to the Wikia page that was full of ads for gold farmers and other MMOs. Until TonyV managed to reclaim the PW domain name, cohtitan was the only URL that worked, and we just didn't change our bookmarks once PW started pointing to the right place again.

    You guys sure are optimistic about Going Rogue. Personally, I'm expecting it next summer, which would make it around Issue 19.

    I'm expecting Issue 17 to be story-driven. We've gone a long time without any serious update to the lore, and the last several issues have been extremely mechanics-focused.
  22. I've had the pre-Issue blues overlap with the post-50 blues, so I'm not playing that much. I like getting online, chatting on my global channels and playing slowly.
  23. I'm continually amazed with what the dev team has been able to do with an expanded crew of minions instead of being limited to the Freem 15.

    Bravo.
  24. Yes, I believe there is. I don't know what it is, though.
