  1. This just in.

    As the game was being carted away with the rest of the dead it was heard to be singing "I feel happy!"

She said the first thing she would do if she won the lottery was...start a radio station that played "good music" and not that "crap that kids listen to these days."

    Funny, first thing I'd do if I won a few million is hire a financial adviser, an accountant, and an estate attorney. Call me crazy.
    You're crazy!

    But seriously it would suck to win so much that I would have to hire people to manage the money given how many professional athletes find themselves ripped off years later by money managers so I would also have to go to school to learn how to do those things myself so I wouldn't have to rely on others.
  3. A noble effort but entirely predicatable based on the Luck Charms same activity last year.

    Next time if you really want to be an anti-marketeer you should buy the garbage set recipes where no one is bidding and 10 or more are for sale. You can probably get them for 1k each and make a lot of people happy to make the sales.

    That will make it interesting. Since you will have access to your powers 5 levels higher then in Cat's example at 29 he would want 32s in his level 30 and 32 powers if he wants the set bonuses.

    Funnily enough, I have started to slot level 32s versus 33s such that I have set bonuses if I flashback to level 29 missions.

    I doubt that will catch on and view it as a personal eccentricity.
    With Issue 16's SSK, does the window shift to 5 levels instead of 3?

    I'm also a fan of the cemetary in Sharkead- lots of zombies and CoT, just have to be careful of wandering spawns.

    Blue side, battle maiden and the ever popular behemoths. I'm personally partial to the Banished Pantheon 'close mystic ruptures' mission you get from Cadao Kestrel, but my fondness for the undead perhaps colors my vision.
    I love that one portal mission with BP from Unai. I hate to finish it.

    Some people relax by doing a variety of difficult things. Mountain climbing comes to mind. That does not sound relaxing to me any more than re-running the same mission over and over but I figure to each their own.

    I practically live in Fortune's Wheel with my villains when they are the appropriate levels. I am always a bit sad when I outlevel it.

    Kill X mobs

    You cannot hate it yet. Wait till you have to defeat X where X is 45 or higher Carnies in PI.
  13. Yep. He has the European version and you have the North American version.
  14. I have done this:
    Churned out some quick tickets and rolled common midlevel arcane salvage for sale.

    I have not done this but it is guaranteed inf:
    Use those tickets to buy a currently high priced uncommon or a rare selling for 1 million and sell it. (It really cannot get any easier than that I don't think.)
  15. When I last tested this the following happened.

    Bob did not get exp so Sally did not get xp at login or even if logged on.

    However even though Bob had it turned off, if Sally earned any Bob got his half when he logged on or while he was logged on.

    The best way to think of the effect is this:
    If you have xp turned off you do not earn it for your pact but you still get any xp earned by your pact partner.

    2. Why are you pitting CO against just CoX? I have been with CoX from the very beginning as with others back when Perez Park was the place to level. Since then, I had friends try out CoX just to express how boring and repetitive the game is and later watched them leave for WoW. IMO, if WoW and CoX got together and made a baby...it would look CO.

    3. Why on earth would you not think CO has a market??? WoW is still the #1 MMO around, by far and for good reason; Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Iron Man, Hulk, Green Lantern (soon), Capt. America (soon) etc.... all have and will have movies coming real soon. The superhero genre has a market and there is no better place to live out that fantasy other then an MMO.....one which style is somewhat similar to both CoX, WoW, and other MMOs.

    As for the kinks...I remember when CoH had kinks. Cryptic did a very good job with CoH, IMO. I am sure it will do a very good job with CO as well.

    1. Is true. I got that message on my machines which run City of Heroes without complaint. I don't care what the requirements posted say they are when I load a game on my machines and it won't run, then it won't run. That isn't a matter of opinion.

    2. Do you know what this thread is about? How THAT game will impact THIS game's market. What else would I compare?

    3. Because I never came across it during my playing? I did assume it would have one or if not they would.

    Is there some point to your post because I am missing it.

    [Edit] Ah I see you MISSED that this is about the ingame markets (Wentworths and the Black Market) not about the sales market of the game.

    Do you know we have inventions and markets in this game?

    Costume recipes (Pool E) only drop from minions. Purples, like all Pool A recipes, drop from bosses, lieutenants and minions (as long as they aren't grey and are level 47+).
  20. Have faith!

    I am trying to come up with my scenarios to test including zones to missions and missions to zones and different bots summoned, etc. The more data we can give them the better our chances are.
  21. There are a lot of bosses in the RWZ and I know people farm the Cim wall but the bottom line is it is just stupid luck. Good luck. Personally I am in make inf mode and buy them at this point.

The colors are indicative of their race... it's all the same across the entire race. Where as with say an electric blaster... ionizing atoms for a lightning bolt could maybe refract light on the light spectrum to change colors. My 2 cents.
    They do limit some of the options of coloring certain sets have so I would expect when we do get it it will be a limited form.

    Back to the topic though.
  23. I think you only needed to write

  24. It is definitely important to check all pets and all zoning possibilities and bug every instance that does not work. We do not want this going live working some or most of the time.
