  2. If it's a 2nd reboot/remake of the first one......*shrug* I'll see it, of course, but can't be all squeeee about it myself.

    If it's a sequel/continuation after Army of Darkness, then you get my full attention.
  3. Give Null the Gull something else to get mobbed for :
    "I do/don't want travel suppression turned on".

    Other things to consider:
    "I do/don't want the ability to team with Shamster"
    "I do/don't want to see Voodoo chat"
    "I do/don't want to see Mental whine about incarnate merits"
  4. I have missed your RPing, Patient.

  6. Current Poison is 90% great, 10% awful.....it gets exacerbated for MMs if you actually try/want to keep your pets alive. The poison trap is a joke. Would have liked to see that get changed to a hold, but will have to see what this toggle does. The benefits of poison, for the most part, are that you basically neuter the mob to make them little puppies. I duo'd a Thug/Poison (for thematic purposes) and wasn't ever really happy with it; my thug partner made it a lot more fun to stick with at least.

    I guess for thematic reasons, at the time, they didn't make it viable for trollers.....where it would have been 99% great and who cares about the pets. I think it'll be very strong with this incarnation.
  7. Wasn't blown over by the EA changes myself; certainly sounds like a bunch of stuff that will help the set for sure, but nothing OMGneedznow. The EA brute I made long ago was frustrating, and they had made some changes at some point to the graphics where on my (now old) rig, I actually couldn't play him with any toggles running. So I easily just tossed him aside. On the new rig, I should probably try to dust him off with the upcoming release (in October? Lol like I'll remember). He probably still just has SOs slotted. Not a huge fan of typed defense myself, but I like to build a little differently than most.
  8. No kin for masterminds?

  9. RE: Help channel and teams

    I don't use it. Never have. Never will. And I was under the impression it was a global channel. If it's not, so be it and good luck.

    If it is global, that's like the guy who sent a tell TO ME asking to join an itrial I bcasted on a Victory channel. He switched characters. And even had to zone multiple places.....before informing me he was, in fact, not on Victory at the time. Wha wha whaaaaaa
  10. Ignoring the list itself and whether people believe it should be on this list at all, I'm utterly baffled how Lost is being denied as Science Fiction status from various people (not to mention those who haven't actually seen it O.o )

    Seriously. Baffled.
  11. Reading this thread, sure sounds like Victory has a lot of deeply quiet, yet burning animosity with the intensity of dozens of bic lighters. Bubbling. Seeping through the cracks. Looking for an outlet to burst through and engulf the virtual population. I can't say I agree with this because I enjoy everyone's company thoroughly.

    I use the globals I want here because you all give me a heart on each and every time I log in. <3



    Flash of brillaince? Search is a joke being so limited. With the new League channel, Request channel is kind of useless for raiding purposes and not really ever used otherwise, so it should be changed to server-wide, and useable/accessible even while in missions/TFs, etc. Would have the person's local name and (I guess) zone they are using it from. Or they can input that themselves. If too much chatter for you, hide it. But will give the server some visible life for those that don't use/know about Globals, is server-specific, and isn't limited to empty zones while others are running doors.
  12. A) Last time I ran this redside, dragged 6 others into it: 1 first timer, 2 who weren't 50, and the rest had maybe 2 people with incarnate stuff going (don't recall any Ions also). Without stealthing anything and killing just about everything, it took about 20 min. You aren't setting the bar high enough

    B) I got those badges the hard way. That is the only way to do it. So you should have to do it that way too

    C) If you are talking about blue side, then you would be my new hero

    Can I suggest that you do away with the entirety of the "defeat X" section of this TF completely? Sounds like a good time for it.........

    And that will be the idea, while trying to maximize threads, astrals, and badges. Need something to focus on to drown out the depression of Penny abandoning me with just you

    Shouldn’t we as a low pop server ™ try to stay together?
    It might be nice, but a couple of reasons this isn't happening. Some factors include things like not everyone who plays on our server a) posts in this forum b) even reads this forum section or c) reads the forums at all. And this facet has been going on since the game's' (extra 's for lego's benefit) inception. Having a built in community collaboration doesn't even get used automatically.

    Different personalities, different levels of interaction, different cliques and clacks, and different levels of perceived control status all contribute to a realitively small group of people not all using 1 channel. And I don't even mean exclusively either. These types of things happen all the time, in any "social" circumstance, but they get more pronounced with smaller groups of people. A lot of people don't see it as a problem / doesn't bother them because all they can see is that they have the level of interaction they want.

    /2 cents

    *looked it up*

    Green stuff is the Devastation beam
    • Devastation Beam: Anti-Matter’s space station comes equipped with a powerful orbital cannon which he will use during the final battle. The first pulse of the beam will hold anyone caught in the targeting radius, while the second pulse deals heavy damage to all caught in the blast, even those who avoided the hold and ran back into the beam! Those who survive are stunned.
    • Disintegration: Anti-Matter attempts to disintegrate a single target’s body. If the target dies for any reason while being disintegrated, the matter pulled from the body is returned to Anti-Matter, healing him significantly. If the target survives, the experience leaves them completely drained of endurance. (Heals and regen to counter. It's a %HP and not damage. It's unresistable.)
    • Entanglement: All players acquire one of two auras which interact negatively with each other. Players who are Alpha Entangled must move 15’ from Beta Entangled players or suffer ill effects (and vice versa). Standing near those of the same entanglement has no effect. Opposing players deal damage and debuff defense, regeneration and recovery to each other. These effects stack, so the more players of the opposite alignment near you, the worse the effect becomes.
    • Systemic Decay: Being in Anti-Matter’s presence causes innate decay of the matter in your body. Your body will become gradually more debilitated the longer you remain motionless while in his presence. Shaking off the decay is as simple as moving, however.
  18. My thoughts for the hell of it, based on only 1 run on a Regen (I apparently wasn't good enough for a 2nd run with a group actively inviting for 10+ minutes later on in the evening *shrug*)

    I personally wouldn't say "fun". It's okay, but I think they threw in too many gimmicks in the name of "challenge!".

    The good points of it:
    - It's hectic/fast paced with no real boring parts (ie, timers waiting for things to finally happen with nothing to do between time).
    - Final AV fight has some flavor to it (but 1 or 2 many black licorice-style flavors that aren't needed).

    "Bad":
    - End reward isn't justified with the amount of activity in this thing. More astrals/emps and maybe double component reward would help. There is just a ton of stuff going on throughout this whole thing.
    - 3 reactors, with basically the same set up but slightly different executions, isn't needed. Having to drag the AV all over the damn place to activate the terminals is just asinine. I'd have stuck with 2 and/or drop the AV drag part completely.
    - Final boss fight has some completely unnecessary and out-of-left-field gimmicks for no real reason.
    * Obliteration beam -Ok, I can live with that. Wasn't any real trouble on the Regen, but others will probably hate it.
    * Alpha and Beta Entangles - ..... seriously. Why bother with this at all? Seems arbitrarily thrown in just to annoy players. I'd prefer to see sequestering here.
    * Green pool blast - Don't know what it's called. I'm okay with this (akin to Battle Maiden fights) but with more dire results if people aren't paying attention.
    * Attackable terminals or he regens everything - Just when you thought you might be close to finishing........

    I'm on the fence with the pulse attack throughout the trial. Saw a lot of complaints about it, but I can understand the purpose and it even fits into the trial story. I'd prefer if he just wasn't attackable until the end and not have to worry about people attacking him and creating more damage with the pulse however. Seems forced to create a badge for it.

    I like the AV fight as a whole. The alpha/beta thing is just stupid. The terminals affecting his regen I can do without. There is plenty going on already with the oblit blast, the green blast, the AV attacks and reactor pulses (not sure if these are still going on during the fight?)

    I'm sure it'll seem a lot easier (and some will say too easy) with whatever slots are unlocked later on, but Apex and Tin Mage still wipe the floor with a lot of people even +1 and still with the last batch of incarnate powers going. This trial seems the least PUG-friendly out of the 3, which is fine if that's what they are going for, but I still prefer my CoH to be semi-PUG capable. If more and more people segregate into cliques and clacks, low pop servers really will feel more and more empty.


    Please check your perception at the door and don't even try infringing on my rights.

    Again rather plainly my freedoms of speech and assembly were infringed
    I do understand your issue, somewhat, but if you want to be taken seriously, you have got to get away from this entirely. It has absolutely nothing to do with this.

    Whoever started the channel has the "right" to do with it whatever they want (in accordance with the rules and regs of the company allowing him to have created and use the channel in the first place). Personally, I'd take it to PMs and discuss with @Hamster (moo).
