I suppose you could contact customer support and explain what you want but I wouldn't hold out much hope for them transferring them. I have bought numerous slots on virtue (okay I am an altoholic and am maxed out at 36) but once you pick a server for them to be added to that is pretty much it.

You could try customer support they are pretty good at working with people. Long ago I mistakenly opened a 2nd account because I didn't realize I could use one to play both COH and COV. They were very nice about shutting down the second account and even credited my existing account for several months using the money I had spend on the second. It's worth a try. Good luck

One thing that has annoyed me for quite a while is the change that took place a some time ago and now just about every villain group does the same thing. You attack a mob of 3 minions on solo and after defeating the first 2 and maybe getting in a few hits on the third he takes off running. This has always been standard procedure for COT and is one of the reasons I dislike doing missions against them Now, however, even groups that used to stand and fight to the last ounce of strength will turn and run like scared little puppies. Best part is I am not just talking ones that are the same level as me but even +1 or +2 spawns that have more strength than me ... as soon as its a one on one fight they all become wimps and run off.

This is annoying enough on standard missions but when it's the last guy guarding the hostage I'm supposed to free to get Mission Complete or whatever and now I have to engage in a foot race to try and track him down and end the mission it makes you want to scream.

Before this NERF you could count on, and sort of respect, groups like the Freakshow, the Lost, Nemesis, ect that would stand face to face with you and fight to the last breath to please their boss. Now everyone just up and runs away.

Is it semi realistic? I suppose so but it's also annoying, time consuming, and half the time they try to lure you, when not at full strength, into a health group of minions, Lieutenants, or whatever. This of course has promted me to devise new strategies.. Let em run while I heal and take out that next mob at full strength which adds to the time it takes to complete a mission because NOW I am standing around doing nothing periodically while I recharge.

I'm not asking for every group in game to become insane fanatics but can we at least turn some of them back into something less than spineless jellyfish unless the odds are 3 to 1 or better in their favor?

Let the flame war begin

*sneaks up and tickles Fedor under the chin Then plop on a cushion to watch Wall-E and sends Ramone for popcorn*

I love this movie. Oh dear I should have had Ramone get gummy worms as well.

*reaches for her cell phone and adds to the order*

He's such a good Boi and a great body guard but it does get a but creepy having him always RIGHT behind me no matter where I go. We had to have a LONG discussion about the unlikely possibility of me being attacked in the bathroom.

Hmmm looks like we have plenty of Trollers (my first love) I guess I will provide damage with a Blaster. Now if you are starting from scratch sadly NC Soft won't let me have anymore slots on this server but I have no problem exemplaring down (can always use the extra Inf and the prestige will help my SG) I have a very nice Arch/Ice Blaster that is quite deadly.. She is also a very cute and a rather ancient Elf madien (looks very good for over 1000 years old) *giggle*


Hmmm last I remember Bag boi was dangling from the ceiling by a web? Now he's watching Wall-E?

Oh I am semi-retired (at a rather early age thank you very much .. and NO we will not discuss my age. Okay I'm 43! *stick out her tongue and chuckles*

Oh sorry I almost forgot I am a Taxibot .. Friday evenings after 9PM Eastern are out. We get together for a group night then. Other than that I is available any evening and since I DON'T work these days I am also around during the day

Ohh You look so cute up there!

*smiles and tickles his feet as she walks by*

A Rookery team Hmmm I don't have ANY villains on Virtue At The Moment but I'd be up for a Blue side group? Just let me know what AT and level ya need ( I has 36 characters on virtue... But I swear its not an addiction). *giggles*

Ramone! Can you get me another coffee sweet one? You know how I like it.

And hey who says I am naughty? Oh I AM! lol

Good ole' Days? I am on Virtue and unless I get tired of running them I can get on an 8 man TF daily.. some time 2 or even 3 a day when I have the time. Some are speed runs and by speed I simply mean we have stealth and TP available and get through some missions by heading straight to the boss and minions rather than fighting our way there. Others are slower grind it out for XP Task Forces... I even had a GREAT PUG team on a Positron TF last week....With no Stealth we managed to finish in 3 hours and 5 minutes!

I've done Respec trials, found just regular pick-up groups doing both radio or Contact missions. Yeah people are still doing AE stuff but the newness has worn off and I think they are starting to realize that those do nothing to get you accolades like TF Commander, Atlas Medallion, Etc. that add extra Health, End or additional temp powers to your inventory.

I do some AE mission, ones by freinds that I know are good or others just to earn some tickets and I have completely enhanced characters without using any influence at all so they do have some benefits (along with the added content).

Some one else mentioned it as soon as I 15 hits there will be a mad rush to take on Reichman and the 5th Column and then it will just become another TF to add to the list of things to do (eventually). Come on now I'm not even the Oldest player in game but in the 3 and a half years I have been around one thing I have come to expect is that every new issue will spark an insane fascination with THE NEW STUFF until it wears off and just becomes MORE STUFF.

BTW I have done the new Hero TF on Beta.. PRAY they nerf Reichman before it goes live ... he has insane Unstoppable and is way too hard to beat IMO. It could develop into another one of those specialty TFs that only get played when JUST the right AT with just the right powersets are available and that would be a shame.

Fire/Fire-perfect for teams because all you is damage
Fire/Mental-more ranged then fire/fire and three AoE attacks
Fire/Ice-much safer then either of the two and you bring some awesome mitigation to your team
Archery/Mental-crashless nuke and two great cones
Archery/Ice-great aoe as well as great mitigation
Electric/Energy-AoE Sapper
Electric/Electric-Adds some great mitigation and some great melee attacks.

[/ QUOTE ]

All great choices I have an Arch/Ice that was great on teams and could still solo at 50. I have 2 Arch/MM.. liked the first so much I wanted another... one of the first characters I have ever had that I enjoy using my secondary powers as much as the primary. My Fire/Fire just hit 30 and somewhere around level 15 became a Blapper.. not sure why he just seemed to get awesom on DOs and even better with SOs. I don't own any Elec/Elec YET but have payed on teams with them.. great powersets.

Enjoy and remember... when all else fails RUN RUN FAST RUN FAR lol (not nearly as necessary these days since blasters got love).

What server are you on? Yes AE farms exist but I am on Virtue and can still find PUGS, TFs, Trials .. you know the normal stuff. then follow Memphis Bills suggestion.. as you find good players form friendships and team. Not sure if other servers have them but on Virtue we have a global Virtue LFG Alpha (the first filled up so fast and so many went inactive they started a second). where you can monitor for teams looking for members in all zones and advertise that you are looking as well. We also have Virtue TF, Virtue Monsters and the original Virtue LFG which many still use.. 4 global channels designed to help you find other players that want to team.

Another good tip.. find a good active SG and you can team with your new SG mates along with any coalition SGs they may belong to.

Oh and not all AE teams are farming.. and there are GOOD missions in there as well. To find a GOOD AE team we also have the MAArc Finder (another global for those looking for an AE team or to just get advice on good missions or if your a writer good advice from other writers).

Have fun

I don't use it much but did come in handy when my Fire/fire blaster emerged from the sewers a 9 level I shut off XP until I had a safeguard so I could get my Raptor pack then turned it right back on.

The reason for this, as explained, was to make it easier to get through content or get badges. I love badges but was never quite this fanatical however back before Ouroborus I knew badgers that died on purpose so they could stay at the debt cap and level slower while trying to coax the badge mission out of a contact. It exists for things like that. Make sense?

Yummy *finished her waffles and deposits the dirty dish in the dishwasher*

Oh dear Be right back! *rushes upstairs realizing she left Ramone the new Phantasm/poolboy/boitoy in a rather exposed and uncomfortable position in the bedroom* Now where did I leave the keys to the handcuffs?

hehe

I agreed with this idea which is a huge suprise to anyone that knows me since I love GM battles.

COV has always needed a couple more good GMS but I think the small number of zones limited the amount the Devs were willing to add (not wanting a GM in almost every zone)

One idea I had a while back was a Tsoo GM. In most oriental cultures dragons are considered a sign of strength and revered. I sort of figured hero side a good spot for that to spawn would be Talos (IP already has Lusca) and not sure spawning in Steel would be a good idea but possibly. Use the same Tsoo Dragon in COV on ST Martial and both sides get a new GM to battle. Yes I realized that supposedly the game in not geared for anything 4 legged so why not a dragon that walks on two legs and used its front legs to attack?

A like the idea if a Giant Mechman and that could very easily be placed on Striga (hero side). Or since Council exist in the RWZ how about putting it there and give heroes and villains a chance to get it and even team up to do so.

COV have a Circle of Thorn GM in Caleb but getting it to spawn can be such a pain. There is a COT monster in Portal Corp missions.. Baphomet and it does award a badge but it's an AV (even an EB solo on Heroic). How about upgrading him to GM status and having him spawn in Nerve (COV side) and possibly the Hollows (COH side). Hey radio missions kind of killed the interest in the Hollows maybe a GM will bring a few people back if for no other reason than the GM fight.

As for giant mechanical men it has always struck me as odd that Nemesis, being a complete egotist, wouldn't create a HUGE version of a Warhulk if for no other reason than to prove his was better than Malta's Kronos Titan or The Clockwork King's Babbage. This could easily spawn in Eden hero side since Jurrasik already roams Crey's Folly.

A GM in the shard could be fun I like that idea and it might spark some renewed interest there as well... place is sort of dead since the RWZ and Cimerora opened up and most only go there to be tortured by the 4 TFs running out of there.

So anyone else got any deas?

Okay you want cause and effect and you claim that PLing NOT farming PLing doesn't hurt the game or me personally? alright...

1. Was on a pick up group a while back and things went okay until several members dropped. Five of us remained and the new "leader" picked a bank mission (Talos safeguard). We enter the mission and hit the bank defeating everything at the entrance and I head for the vault ASSUMIMG everyone is right behind me. I engage the signature villain (a Boss due to team size) and hold my own for a while with my scrapper but he has a Tsoo Sorceror healing him and I start watching my health drop. I check the mini map and discover ony one other member of the team (used losely at this point) is still in the bank. Eventually I run out of inspirations and die. By then even the one other member of the team is gone from the bank. I hit the hospital and by some miracle we do manage to stop the villain at the Arachnos Flyer and get a mission complete.

Checking badges .. 1 of them was a 3 month vet the others had NO vet badges and none of them had many other badges aside from ones earned doing AE missions. I had debt to work off because NONE of them had apparently ever done a safeguard before and had NO idea there was a signature villain to battle in the back of the bank. I use both hands to manuever and fight with so I usually don't chat much in missions..especially when fighting a boss trying to kill me so trying to EXPLAIN to them at that point they needed to get back to the bank only would have meant I died faster. So how has their RAPID accent in skill without any experience other than killing thigs on a PL farm NOT affected me?

2. Joined a Maticore TF and we had 8 members after about 10 minutes of recruiting (early afternoon during the week so that was pretty good). Everyone is in zone except 1 32 level and we explain he needs to get to Brickstown before we can start. Minutes pass and we ask if he's on the way. At that point we get a message asking where Brickstown is? *sigh* We expalin its one of the scheduled stops on the Green Line Just go to the train and you will be there in no time. Minutes pass again and now its Where is the green line? A 32 level that has no idea where Brickstown or the green line are located? Well the leader Kicked him after a quick vote in tells and we managed to find another to replace him. All this added about 15 minutes before we could start the TF. So thanks to someone who obviously made the majority of his levels in AE we spent more time waiting for him to arrive than we did initially recruiting. And that doesn't affect me or the other members of the TF?

Farming in and of itself is not the problem. Farms in one form or another have existed as long as this game has.. the problem now is these AE farms are producing high level characters that have no clue how to play the game. They have trouble just getting from point a to point b and now they are out there driving other players insane with their lack of knowledge or experience. No your idea is hogwash. NC soft considers those PL farms to be against their rules, just like they consider the groups that constantly Email us trying to sell influence/infamy. I have nothing against old school farmers like the ones in PI.. heck when there were no other teams to be had I have joined them and picked up a few bars for the next level. But a farm that allows a 1 level to make 50 in hours and then unleashes him on an unsuspecting COH population? Anyone that reports them is by no means wrong.

*stumbles down the stairs in her jammies and then check* Oh thank goodness I do have them on!

I smell waffles Mmmmm I like waffles

Morning all Is the coffee ready yet?

Oh WN see what you do to me? LOL after checking this I just had to stop leveling my 44 level scrapper so I could get the data and post here. Since I have done Tradmark Infringment and Death to Disco can you rate the following for Moi?

Arc ID: 124380
Title: Trouble on Old Mac Donaldson's Farm
Global Name: @Taxibot Sara2.0
Mission Count: 8
Notes: A tale of Ailen Invasion on Old Mac's farm with 1 mandatory rescue and one that isn't. The AV will spawn as an EB if soloed on heroic

ID: 54641
Name: Sings like an Angel while the Devil Plays along
Global Name Same as above
Mission Count: 5 (was over 50 but I mistakenly unpublished to edit and had to start over LOL)
Notes: Big Bubba and his brother kidnap Country singer Jessi Blaze hoping to force her to sign a long term contract. AV again spawns as an EB on heroic (solo)

By the way all who may read this Wrong Number has created some of the best and funniest arcs I have played. If you haven't tried Death to Disco or Tradmark Infringment Go do so NOW!

Nice to see you expanding into review work WN See you in game

Heck, it might just be me finally getting on the ball but people seem to be doing more Task Forces than ever.

Kinda funny how people see the ITF's popularity and assume it's a farm. It's not, it's challenging, epic and makes you earn every Merit. It's the kind of thing that makes you WANT to play it again!

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh yes do an ITF and survive that Mechman activation portion in mission 3 without at least one faceplant.. The only part of the whole TF I hate LOL

I too am a TF Wh#$! and have had weeks (recent ones since I 14 hit) where I have done at least 1 a day and sometimes two.

Posi is also my least favorite which is probably why I am in a situation where I need it on so many if I ever want TF commander *sniff sobs* Heheheh I actually did one last week where all but one player on the team was way above 15 and without Stealth we finished in 3 hours and 5 minutes I seriously wish to adopt all those team mates and keep them with me always WE ROCKED

Oh the breaking news story that good PUGs are dead is false as well. I have been on numerous ones the past few weeks some good, some bad but that is the very nature of the PUG.

I have a Plant/Rad in the 30s now that is awesome. Her holds and immobs even work when everything around her is purple. Now As for Ill/ Not sure how much has changed while you were away but I have several variations of Ill/ (Ill/Emp, Ill/Thermal, Ill/Rad) and they solo very well. There are only a couple of things that see through Superior Invisibility (Rikti Drones, Knives of Artemus, those HUGE eyeball thingies in the Shard.. to name most). So I can stealth in, confuse mobs, and unleash my Phantom Army and Phantasm to clean up.

Fire/Kin is the FoTM (been that way so long it really isn't right to call it of the month lol) but as mentioned a LOT of the players that have them did so simply to farm. Others that are trying them don't really play them too well... Stacking 4-5 SBs on a scrapper in a cave mission is a serious NO NO. But some of the bad ones seem to think if a little SB is good a WHOLE LOT just has to be better. Tanks and Blasters love Kins for the quicker pace (tanks) and faster attack recovery (Both) and all my Blasters are SB Junkies (unless I am in a cave.. I hate touching my controls and finding myself in the middle of a huge mob when all I wanted to do was move up a few feet so my shorter ranged attacks would fire).

Hey hope that helps and welcome back

[ QUOTE ]

Though my ice/dev probably could bump the slider if I wanted the risk vs reward factor between actually getting missions done vs xp from the mobs within keeps me just high enough for hard mobs and real bosses.

Just chill, turn the settings down a bit, and you'll probably do better.



[/ QUOTE ]


I agree. One other thing to keep in mind is TIME when picking a difficulty level. Now I have a few scrappers that can chew through missions on rugged with no problem and handle the bosses like they were Lieutenants. On the other hand my Tanks have the damage to do that but with fewer and, in most cases, slower attacks. Rugged or higher means I am going a lot slower and getting in fewer missions. Setting the diff to level 1 or 2 MAY make it appear I am earning less XP but I can get to mission complete faster, get the nice end bonus and move on to the next. In the end if I play for a few hours in the evening I actually earn more overall XP on heroic than I would if I was on Rugged. With an AT like Blasters where that diff may also make the difference between getting through missions without using an awake or making a trip to the hospital and the XP earned increases as well.. since you aren't working off debt or using patrol XP to remove it.

Another good point I saw was concerning inspirations. They are available for a reason and that is to make our characters function and survive better. You don't run around with enhancements empty do you? (unless of course you don't have the INF at that moment to fill them) If I am doing missions that mean I will see a lot of AVs I head to base and pick up the tier 3s I earned doing TFs. Normally I may not need to use an inspiration at all but if I know I'm going to be pounding on an AV for a while before it goes down I want the best I can get.. same holds true, when I have the time, for battling a Giant Monster. It is not a crime, a sin, or anything to be embarassed about if you use inspirations to survive. Its why they gave them to us in the first place.

I'd like more options for skirts.. for one something similar to what Sister Solaris wears in the ITF and in various lengths. I understand the mechanics for having long flowing gowns or robes doesn't work, apparently, but that is only becaus they design everything to be worn by every AT and powerset. SO of course its impossible for an MA/ Scrapper to perform kicks etc wearing something like that.. OKAY so then maybe the PLAYER sould realize that and NOT use it if it was available.

Stockings.. currently we have 2 options thigh high fish nets and full fish nets so if I want my character to "look" like she is wearing normal ones I have to use tights. How about leg warmers? Or how about ankle length sock instead of just knee highs?

As for shoes why can't we get, I am speaking primarily for female characters BTW, ankle high boots. Or furry ones .. I'd like to see a whole cave man/ woman style outfit available including furry boots.

I'm like you Sam I sort of agonize over my character's look..thank goodness for free tokens and Vet rewards. LOL One of my oldest characters is Wicked Wendy and I changed her look so much it became a running joke in my old, and now defunct, SG. I actually had one older character that just sort of sat there while others passed her by and continued to level. I finally realized I hated the way she looked and was't playing her because of it. I went in and did a omplete make over for hair, skin type, and clothing and she a level 45 now. LOL

Most of this isn't new .. It's been asked for on Jay's page for some time but I understand the entire staff of Dev's can't drop everything else and spend 6 months just making outfits. And they are trying .. I am happy with the new faces coming out because frankly there are about 4 or 5 I like so most of my characters look like clones. And the male faces were needed badly. I do have a few male characters.. hey if guys can run around playing females heroes I can have a couple male ones LOL The male face options really sucked and I would spend considerable time in scales playing with noses, chins, etc so at least they all dodn't look exactly the same.

All we can do is keep asking and keep watching for new stuff with every issue. But I do hope they come out with some different items soon for variety. Oh and keep bugging on the forum as well... JAY CAN YOU HEAR US

Oh I NEVER said my Fire/Fire was bad. In fact somewhere around .. I can't recall exactly .. but let's say level 15ish I realized he had become sort of awesome. Early game with very few attack and even fewer enhancements I was vulnerable at 30 level I'm a Blapper and can be found in mellee range almost as often as the scrappers. I just kept lucking into one Task Force after another and before I knew it I was a 30 level.

Someone said they got squishy again after 30 + .. I am waiting for that to happen since I did the Midnighter's club arc at 30 and .. Okay I took damage .. But I never died and I can get into Cimerora now as soon as I hit 35. Personally I think its a great combination.

I heard they also took his lunch money and gave him a wedgie. He and Blue Steel used to be friends but after the incident Blue won't even talk to him. Something about finding him curled up in the fetal position and bawling like a baby. LOL

Ohhh your right I guess I stopped reading and went into mini panick mode at Get rid of all but one desk. I DO like that idea we could actually customize the look of anything that way and make the bases even more unique. I will go stand in the corner now and be quiet.

Can I add one thought? hehehe Make different sizes for that one desk etc. So we'd have a large, medium and small version all with a pull down.. the possibilities could be endless.

Afraid I am not much help either. About the onlt thing I will attempt to solo Malta with are my Illusionists. Like Siergen I stealth in, confuse the Sappers and Gunslingers and watch the carnage. I never paid much attention to what they did after that I was too busy helping them defeat everything else.

I have Field Crafter on one toon redside, and am working on it on another blueside. I have NO intention of getting it on anyone else. Adding this as an option would not give me any incentive.

Personally (and maybe this should be a different thread), I think they should get rid of all the duplicate items that are functionally identical so that we have ONE vault, ONE crafting table, ONE desk, etc. Then, on the info window in the editor, add a drop-down menu with a list of skins. Then, for your crafting table, for example, you could choose "Arcane", "Tech" or "Whatever you call the Abandoned lab version", with an easy way to add more, without needing to bloat the database with "new" items that are really just a reskin.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh NOOOO That would be so boring! If anything I want more options so I have a better chance of being unique. What you are suggesting means that aside from room placement everyone's base would look almost identical. What's the fun in that?


Heck off the top of my head I want...

A bed that doesn't have restraints. I have a sleeping quarters in my base and it would be nice to have a BED for the heroes to sleep in. Currently they have 2 options a rough looking wooden cot or a straw mat on the floor (Yeah THAT looks comfy)

Desks, aside from the few we have now that allow stacking, and items like computers that can be individually placed on them.

WATER.. I know a lot of SGs that have manufactured swimming pools but all they really have is a plain blue floor. It is feasible we can swim IN game so give me water as a floor option so I can have an actual pool for pool parties.

I want those privacy screen you find in Mother Mayhem's asylum .. I have an infirmary and it would be nice and LOOK right if each patient had those for modest purposes.

More and DIFFERENT types of pictures and wall decorations.. We currently have 3 modern art pictures we can hang and 2 are huge.

Ummm Okay I could probably go on for a LONG time but you get the idea. We want more options NOT less.

The Rookery is pretty damn pointless.

*smacks Emgro on the back of the head* Third rule of the Rookery NO FARM Flaming post. LOL I am SOOOO tired of those I don't even open them up anymore.

*looks around for the pamcakes and a nice comfy chair she can snuggle in*

Okay A couple of things you may want to try.. I have a Fire/Fire but in the low 30s and I did most of that on TFs although I have done some soloing with it on occasion. I picked up Midnighter's Club badge solo so I am able to get into Cimerora when I hit 35 (for example)

1. Drop back on the diffidulty when soloing. You stated your on unyielding (level 4) that means everything in mission is at least 1 level higher than you, or two, and the spawns are larger than normal. I rarely solo anything, except my Tanks and Scrapper, above Heroic (level 1). Okay the XP and INF are not as great but I don't die so it evens out because I am not constantly trying to work off debt or wasting Patrol XP.

2. Try another build.. I have a 50 level Arch/Ice/Cold Blaster that was still soling nicely as she made 50. Ice gives you some nice Holds/Immobs that keep anything form getting in your face and I will win a ranged shoot out every time. I currently have an Arch/MM that IMO may be even better. It's the first character I have made that relies on, and uses, her secondary powerset as much as her primary.

3. Y0u change tactics when you solo? Yeah who doesn't? I change tactis when I solo as opposed to teaming when I am playing a scrapper. Solo I rush headlong into anything knowing the mob size is small enough that I can take it down long before they hurt me. On an 8 man team running INV missions... I wait on the team and use the old rule of thumb and follow the tank (when available). Yeah solo I could take down 3 purple minions or one minion and a Lieutenant but I am NOT charging in blindly on an 8 man team.. Too much damage output and I don't like dying.

Admitedly Blasters were the last AT I grew to enjoy. I had tried a few when I started but hated how squishy they were and just focused on my scrapper. My first 50 level Blaster was an AR/DEV/MUN and while she mainly teamed her way up when needed I could solo with her.. again I was suppose to do an ITF with some friends on a Saturday. I did not have the badge and one of them was going to "get me through it" so I could join. I decided to give it a try solo. Yes it was slow going but I even managed to get Crazy Jane to the chest in mission 4 against the COT. And I had fun with the Rikti boss.

I laid down so many mines in one spot I hit the cap for how many you can place (older mines were disapppearing as I laid down new ones). Then I positioned myself so I was in a direct line from him with the mines between us. I used my snipe to get his attention and after taking one ranged shot he rushed me, as they all tend to do, He hit those mines and the resulting explosion knocked ME off the upper platform. I panicked a bit and got up quickly looking to see where he was and how bad I had damaged him. He wasn't just down he and the minion that was coming with him were gone. I vaporized him LOL You aren't going to solo with a Blaster as easily or as fast as a Tank or a Scrapper but you can solo. Now if the Devs want to give me more love I certainly won't complain but the AT is far from broken.
