I went with Real Villains of Paragon City. Bland I agree but I wouldn't want the QQ crowd to not get what we will be.
I cannot wait to take my shade over to Nerva as a vigilante and murder hapless Longbow and Wyvern and bring my booty back to Wentworths. -

Good idea on bringing lunch to work, however I do that already... and it really only saves me about $2 a day.
I'll probably do a transfer, but I doubt I'll do it within the next month or two... the toon I want to transfer is a lvl 34 version of the lvl 50 I have on Freedom, but he was one of the first characters I made (never got isolator because badges didn't exist yet when he was in the tutorial). I'm pretty sure I would even lose his name, and it's a really cool name.
Oh well, I guess I wait.

The OP could sell blood plasma. In the US there are centers all across the country and every plasma donation center has its own compensation plan. Generally you are paid $20 to $25 for the first weekly visit and $30 to $45 for the second. On top of this, many centers have additional cash prizes or gift certificate programs to keep things fun and interesting.

kinda sucks that they skipped 57 months.

or death.
Though my liberty alts are about my lowest levels and least played of any server. -
Quote:Yes, but usually that is due to an outcry of people who roll up the new characters (like Demon Summoning tomorrow) who didn't get the free one.Originally Posted by Aett_Thorn
Don't they tend to now give a free respec on issue release, then a few days/weeks later, give out another?
Personally I think they are overly generous in the freespec department. -
Long timers have the vet respecs: 9 months, 21 months, 33 months, 45 months, and 69 months so far.
You can pretty well count on at least 2 freespecs a year, the anniversary (we get one tomorrow) and usually during the winter holiday (aka Christmas/New Year's time). Then often there is another 1 or 2 related to a big power change.
Not many people use up all those respecs plus the 3 (4 for villains) earnable ones in the game but even if we do there are the recipes plus we can buy them from NC.
I just don't see the bang for the effort to let us stack them. Heck, I'd have I don't know how many on my characters if they stacked. -
Quote:Yeah but on a team there is less need of super-ness too. At least the ones I get on seem to steamroll everything in sight.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Two words:
"Too expensive."
Well, not really, but in my opinion, it's too expensive for too small of a benefit. I generally have enough influence/merits to IO out one build on a character, and given the choice, I'll do it for my concept build. Most of the time, that means even a "team friendly" version would be worse for the team than the IO'd concept build where I skipped hasten, the rez, SB, or whatever else we're quibbling about. -
Quote:I did something like that 6 years ago but it was because I didn't have a clue and was curious about the travel powers.Originally Posted by Mr_Grey
I once saw a player pick powers from Flight, Leap and Teleport instead of Storm Summoning and Electric Blast powers. I asked if the player understood how badly they'd hamstrung their gaming experience and received "I know, but this is the way I wanted to build my character."
I couldn't argue with that. -
I don't look at the numbers to know if my character would be more or less effective when I choose some powers.
There have been times I've built, say a defender, to be solo more than team oriented. But with dual builds I have tried to minimize that.
Or taken the Patron powers I enjoy seeing more probably at the cost of being more powerful. But I think the difference isn't likely all that great in this case. -
Quote:I'll also be sure to avoid any potentially petitionable names.Originally Posted by SpittingTrashcan
I'm pretty sure "Villains of Paragon City" is taken on Virtue. Also, pretty much any name that sounds like a house of ill repute.
I ain't judgin', I'm just sayin'... -
Quote:I'd pay a million inf to have Council wear Pepsi's colors and 5th Column to wear Coke's.Originally Posted by Gaming_Glen
How about talking to Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola (*) about having a Cola Wars ad campaign inside the game? This is something that may not have been done in an MMO before (I could be wrong) and might make for free publictity for all three (Coke, Pepsi, CoX) by any news that could be generated.
* This could also apply to any other other businesses that wage ad wars. -

Hmm... I come off as an introvert to you? Seriously? I mean, in theory I'd agree with you, but seriously? I have, like, eleventy billion posts and I've been called names by practically everyone who's held an account here. I think I've done well for myself

Quote:Quoting Michael Keaton's Billy in the "Dream Team" - "Chaos is great!"Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
That's my take on it. Chaos is good.
As for the "have to because of the GUI change" statement, That makes sense to me.

I would think with SSKing you should be okay at +/- 10 levels of you. Plus now we earn XP even when exemplared/malefactored so it's not like you miss out on that.

Quote:You just don't appreciate the beauty of chaos.Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
i suspect the goal is simply to make the market changes as painless as possible to implement for devs. Removing the last 5 sales data completely would be an extremely bad idea since players would have no ability to judge the price of items whatsoever and prices would fluctuate even more wildly than they currently do.

Quote:Honestly I think they may have to for the GUI not as a service to the players. But I am with you. I'd think it far more interesting to have no pricing histories to go by so people can bid/list what they feel it is worth.Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
But why do it it all? What's the goal? Why not just remove the last 5 sales data completely and forever?

Quote:For low moving items it will impact the sales since people won't have a pricing clue. For high volume stuff it won't matter for more than a couple minutes.Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
Proving my abject market ignorance... I don't get the relevance or importance of this.
But it could mean a quick score of a valuable item for a lower than normal price. -
I'll create the SG with a darky-dark Warshade to hold it for us. Any good name ideas for me to try to grab?

Quote:Wouldn't it have to be Virtue?Originally Posted by Nethergoat
OH GOD hadn't thought of that.
Now I am DEFINITELY taking the Goat "hero", with a special origin about how he's subverting Paragon City from within and paving the way for the Thousand Young of Shub Niggurath to erupt from Atlas' globe and devour all that is good and right.
I'm just hoping one of the new emotes is HIP THRUST so my prosthelytizing in broadcast will have an appropriate visual component!
What server does Alt-O-Holic call home, does anyone know? =P
/edit
hey, someone should pick a server and start a Paragon City Villain Group for all of us who're just there for the markets but are still evil in our hearts. =D That's where my Blood Widow is going to be to corrupt the youth of Paragon City (assuming she can find any).

Quote:You are one of the people who are an awesome contributor to the game.Originally Posted by TonyV
It's very close. Seriously, we're talking soon, not Soon™, probably an announcement within the next couple of weeks. If you're interested in helping out on the development side of things, drop me an e-mail at tonyv@cohtitan.com, or hit me up on Gtalk (same address) or on Skype (tonyv.paragonwiki). If you're interested in being a contributor, keep your eyes out!
Thanks to you and the other diligent game supporters who make things like Mids and the badge tracking site and Red Tomax and Beefcake and lots of people I am forgetting and others I don't know of. -
Quote:Anything goes.Originally Posted by dbuter
Did they limit transfers from heavy pop. servers to lighter ones, or was it anything goes?

I just have to ask. Why are you working on your PvP build when they aren't done altering it?

Quote:I often wonder if the other servers got people transferring to them from Freedom caused the evening out. It would be interesting to see migration numbers from NCSoft.Originally Posted by Ironblade
Actually, it seems most of the servers did. So, aside from Freedom and Virtue, the rest of them. . . . 'dance around' a lot more than they used to. I've seen Infinity ranked 3rd, 8th, and everything in between.
