this is one of teh questions i have had for a long time, dev all have there "vision" of what the game should be. player pay for the game so they want what they think the game should be, to be.
so is the game
for the dev vision of the game
or
for the players vision of the game

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
anyone remeber jack emmert and how people disliked him because he made the game into his vision rather then giving players what they wanted?

Did you just troll yourself?

A friend and I both bought the game a few days ago. We're trying to catch up to our other friend who is level 21. So far we're level 10 but it seems a bit slow. We have been doing the same exact missions together ever since we started, which is why I'm asking, is leveling with a friend slower than leveling solo?

[/ QUOTE ]

Now that you're level 10, you can Exemplar your level 21 friend. They won't get XP while exemplared, but they'll get double influence and prestige and you can all still play together. Then when the two of you hit level 20, you can drop the exemplar and all of you play and progress normally.

A HERO is supposed to be AV rank. MONSTER and HERO are alternate terms for the AV appellation for when 'ArchVillain' doesn't fit the character.

The problem is that too often when a HERO is downgraded to an EB rank, the HERO appellation remains; and vice-versa -- a heroic foe that is AV rank is called an EB when they should be called a HERO.

At level 50, the standard hp of foes should be:

Minion: 431
Lt.: 803
Boss: 2,570
EB: 5,354
AV/HERO/MONSTER: 28,271
GIANT MONSTER: 70,679

So, if you ever come up against a heroic EB or a HERO, immediately check out its hp, and that will tell you its true rank.

Well.. ok.. you got me there.. it's not really LoS to your character.. just LoS to your "camera", so you'll be able to actually click it.

As for proximity.. I haven't found any distance that it doesn't work at. You have me curious about it now though. I think I'll try to measure it one of these days and find out.

[/ QUOTE ]

While the range is extreme for a glowie, you can be within LOS and still not be able to click it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Read what is typewritten: "It's not really LoS to your character...just LoS to your "camera", so you'll be able to actually click it."

The glowies in the CoTTrial are bugged in that you *can* do long distance clicking. I've bugged it long ago, and I doubt it's been fixed.

The "City of Heroes" and "City of Villains" forums are the same forum, with different background skins.

I use the Heroes skin and it is hard to read your text.

Encouraging me to read something else instead, and not answer your questions.

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah, i know.

But that doesn't change the reason im using it, nor the topic of the thread (that, not being the color of my text) and no one forces you to read it, look at it, or answer it in any way. im not trying to be a jerk, but i can use whatever color i want, and then its your choice to take that, and answer, or not answer based on that. i guess....

Just a side note, i use both background, and like red on both.

[/ QUOTE ]

You might want to check out this thread to find a better color that's readable on both forums. The one you're using isn't that readable unless it's in bold.

And the attitude of "I can use any color I want" will mostly be countered with everyone adopting the attitude, "I can ignore this self-indulgent poster and not help them out with their question until they learn common courtesy.

It is totally within Ms. Liberty's character to run out on stage at a Springer taping and hit Lord Recluse on the back of the head with a chair.

To help convert him.

ThunderKatt, the booster appears to have been disabled on test this morning.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was wondering about this myself. I just saw the patch notes this morning & tried to view the new stuff but couldn't. So they only allowed the new stuff to be viewed for a day? That's not very long to see if something works right or not.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, quite a few bugs were caught and reported last night. Both Castle and Ghost Falcon were there, and with a player's help, Castle was even able to track down a geometry corruption bug which screwed up a character's body if they switched genders while in SG mode. Believe me, those of us who test stuff work rather quickly.

[/ QUOTE ]They might also be testing to make sure they can properly disable it for when it goes live, since as far as I know they haven't done open testing for previous boosters.

[/ QUOTE ]

They did for the Wedding Booster. That caught several bugs before going Live, but still had to correct some after it went Live.

I thought KB IO's were unique? I know you use to me able to run multiple Steadfasts and Karma's, but I thought they changed that.

If I can stack Steadfast still I will be mighty PO'd after spending huge inf on a Zephr to go with my Karma and Steadfast for -12.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, definitely not unique. See Zombie_Man's links above.

[/ QUOTE ]

Part of the confusion was that when IO Sets were introduced people started calling all of the Special Single-Acting IOs 'Uniques' when, in fact, many of them were not 'Uniques' but could be multiple-slotted on the same toon. See the table of special IO linked above to see which are unique and which aren't (and which are Globals and which are Procs).

[ QUOTE ]
Also, since the lvl of the IO makes almost no difference, shop through those available to find a good deal. I think mine were some rather odd levels (i.e. not 50 or 35 as is typical), IIRC.

[/ QUOTE ]

No. The KB Protection IOs are Globals. They will turn off if you exemplar more than three levels under the level of the IO.

There are three KB Protection Global IOs:

http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Steadfast_Protection (Resistance)
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Karma (Defense)
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Blessing_of_the_Zephyr (Travel)

And there's one IO set that grants Mag 3 KB protection as part of the bonus from the set:

http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Kinetic_Crash (Knockback powers, only takes four from the set)

"Our next MMO" may be H.R.'s unfortunate way of referencing Going Rogue.

Oh, and scooped!

You just used (defeated and exploited) the chiefs of the four major factions for a mission directly on behalf of LR. First, that pretty much puts you into Arbiter-land. Second, you'll need the title to keep all four lieutenants from ganging up on you after pulling that stunt.

I leave the flaming cat on the doorstep of a neighbor and ring the bell. Then I run and hide to watch their expression.

Team, team, team.

When villains team it often becomes steamrollers of doom and the xp flows fast and furious.

Wow, excellent work.

Again, as mentioned in many threads, the SF dialogue points to an Axis America dimension filled with AA troop, not 5th. <sigh>

I just hope the 'new' boards are NOT phpBB3 and that hopefully its vBulletin. They have a new version, 4, coming out in a few weeks (months). Not that it matters, as the current version of VB is great as it is.

There's nothing wrong with phpBB, I am an avid supporter of it for 6 years. It's just not the BEST solution for extremely active boards.

I still can't believe that PlayNC/Cryptic paid any money for these boards.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's vbulletin. NCSoft already purchased vbulletin for its various games.

[ QUOTE ]
QR

just curious, when the forum migration was rumored long ago,
vbulletin came up.


[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, it will be vbulletin. It's what the other NCSoft forums migrated to and what was tested in closed I13 Beta.

Oh, dear... I have the weirdest PM ever, and I know for certain y'all won't be able to top it.

Ler Bwerpathon

Hai ther personneighbor! ^.^ Are you Bwerp?

Did you just say No?

Well, PENALTY. You now playing the BWERPATHON.

Rules: You must survive the Bwerpathon! For SOME STUPID REASON, a character of YOUR selection HAS BEEN selected BY ME. This character will have to go through a series of horrible events for the lulz of it. ^.^ The character will have many pant legs. Must choose. If you choose human flesh, you GO ONTO the next event. If you choose DOGGIE, your arm and most of the other bones in your body goes BWEAK.

So choosy yes nums. ^.^ Goodk, amirite?

It looks like your horrible luck is being dolled out though, cause everyone else on the forums that I know is also trapped in the Bwerpathon. Many will enter. Only 1 will be the sum of all errors.

The more RP toons you have, the better the top of the sky you are in chances. More characters you have, more LIVES you have to proceed through Bwerpathon. If you don’t have any characters, THEN GET A LIFE.

You also start the Bwerpathon with 100,000,000 HP. If you lose all HP, you lose all lives and instalose. Spirit of fraking city, yes?

Each event below has set answers. Each answer has set result. Send your answers back, along with the number of lives you had, and I’ll post the results and the winner, along with handing out a prize. ^.^

I will restate, for clarity, that every question has a set answer. No matter how the question is phrased, or what options you are given, there is only one actual answer. Some questions may require pure luck to answer, but all of them are references to popular culture. The exception to this rule is the last question, in which I will take a variety of answers based on who is answering them and how.

If you are ready for the Bwerpathon, continue.

EVENT ONE!!!:@-+

A cute baby needs his food to survive. He asks you to feed it HUMAN FLESH. You do not have any other humans, but you do have a DOGGIE. Do you feed the baby HUMAN FLESH taken from your body, or do you feed the baby the DOGGIE?


Question 2!

The baby from the last question grows uber powerful after feeding it and transforms into a Temple of Beth Israel. The Temple of Beth Israel attacks you using COMFY COUCHES. Do you defend yourself with RELAXATION AND MUSIC, or MOOLAH from your wallet, or AN EXCLUSIVE BRICK?


C:

You are running to the West, and you must pass through Amuricuh. To get through the West, do you use a SILVER REPLICA OF THE LOST ARC WITH AN H, or SLINGSHOT LAG, or THE MAGICAL STAR GOLFBALL?


17-

VOLCANO. Do you INSURE, use your BLUE CAR, or GO IN FOR A CLOSER LOOK, or GO BACK IN TIME AND PREVENT THE ERUPTION?


?

What do you think of the Bwerpathon so far? WHAT, or WHAT, say WHAT, and WHAT?


A question:

Does your answer happen to be THE NUMBER TWO, a NEW PIECE OF MUSIC, a BIG DRILL BIT, or a GREEN TROLL, or perhaps even MUSTARD GAS?


The same question as last time:

Does your answer happen to be THE NUMBER TWO, a NEW PIECE OF MUSIC, a BIG DRILL BIT, or a GREEN TROLL, or perhaps even MUSTARD GAS?


@

You are feeling under the weather? Well, what is the best medicine for that? GREEN BILE, YELLOW BILE, BLACK BILE, WHITE BIBLE OR DIET LIME COKE?


L

Which question is this? Question L, Question 10, Question 9, L, a question asking you which question this is, or a question asking you which question is this?


Easy Question

What is my favorite drink? Moonbeam Absinthe or Ketchup?


Insidiously hard question to make up for the last one%

What is the answer to this question?


Lollerskates(

What does OMGIOFFPSSPMO stand for?


MY CHARACTERS COME OUT OF NOWHERE TO FIGHT!!*

Charles Simmons tries to teleport inside of you using the mailbox cheat! What do you do?

Silver Meniscus kicks you in the nuts! If the character you are using as your current life is male, you may lose either 1 life or 5 hp.

Commander Cynic tells you to drop and give him infinity. There is some whipped cream, a clown, and an octopus, and a crystal ball within immediate range. WHAT VOODOO DO YOU DO?

This thread is really about the fact that the Positron TF is, at least as far as design goes, truly the definition of... yeah, failure at having fun. And that's all it is. I have heard about this TF for years, and it really is a badly-designed snoozefest.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree with you.

However, if you have a level 50 toon with a second build designed for low level exemplaring and IO'd out such that you can SuperSpeed and Stealth it and TP your teammates around... then it's a very lucrative source of Merits and can be done in under 2 hours.

I've got the debuff, heal, and crowd control. If I grab two blasters, it's under 90 minutes as Perfect Pain says.

One-starring this thread!

Ghost Falcon and General Hammond rip you off with buy-back prices. Use the Rikti War Zone store. There's a door to it in Peregrine rather near Ghost Falcon. Very handy.

[ QUOTE ]
Were could I buy level 30-35 science enhancements?

[/ QUOTE ]

And when you hit 35, use the store in the Rikti War Zone for the best buy-backs and for having all the SOs you need from level 35-50.

((brb. I have to put the cat out. He's on fire.))

"Here, take some 'dyne. Back Alley Brawler doesn't know what he's talkin' about."

Very well done!

Oh considerably worse. Because when pressed Jranger made sense She just *kept posting* apparently for the sake of posting.

She was like the MA baby of the forums.

It had a purpose: To lobby for animated hair. In every forum. In every thread. In every post.

That was put an end to even on the EU forums. (Remember, there's now a 'no lobbying' clause in the forum policy manifesto.)

It's not like we don't have worse here. From what I've seen, they're getting the short end of this deal. And that's coming from me, a 'Mer'kan.

Meanwhile, there are several posters over there I'm looking forward to regularly interacting with. They're extremely knowledgeable of the game, wryly witty, and quite erudite. It's like getting several more mes.


And if anyone's worried about name clashes... you can search the EU board.
