  1. Fun:
    1)Costume creator
    2)MA. Love it, although I have never put a story for the public, because I never can finish an arc.
    3)The plethoria of powers, and AT's at my disposal.
    4)The market.
    5)Gameplay
    6)teaming/soloing.
    7)My wife plays
    8)the community.


    Not fun:
    1)The stripped down time I actually can play because of my job, family.
    2)No nemesis system. No, MA is not the same. I want my enemy showing up in a paper mission with me beating up the skulls.
    3)Lack of redside teaming. I prefer villians side.
    4)defeat all missions/find the glowies on huge city street.
    5)I am the last of my friends to still play this game.
    6)My wife playing the game. 1 computer, one game.
    7)the lack of having any kind of presence on Itrials. It's just team up, and finish as soon as possible.

    All in all, I will still be playing this game until the server shut down, or they make a COX 2.

    Until, if ever, they release the night ward balls of lights, the closest you will get are the wisps, under the red caps enemies.
  3. One thing I really wish they would add to this game is to give your toon the option to use some type of object, although just cosmetic in appearance, to create the illusion that your fire, ice, energy, radiation, etc blast are not coming from your hand or glove.

    I'd like to see as part of the costume creator the option to use cosmetic objects for your sets.

    Here are some suggestions.


    1)Hammer
    2)Wand
    3)Glowing cube
    4)talisman
    5)gauntlet
    6)technolgy device
    7)gun
    8)sword
    9)magic book
    10)magic runes
  4. My suggestions:

    1)If you are using a router, I'd say connect the modem directly to the computer. Most average routers only give about 56mps, versus 100mps through ethernet cable directly connected.

    2)Shut all of your internet windows down before playing. This means Facebook, youtube, etc.

    3)See if there is an upgrade for your graphic card drivers.

    4)reboot the computer and modem.

    5)Like the suggestions here, lower the graphics to the very minimum and raise it from there.

    6)If you are playing on a team with tons of powers shooting all over the place, this may contribute to lag. I even set my graphics slider to min when on Itrials. You may also want to make sure you don't have memory hogging background applications going on.

    7)Good luck with your progress. Worst case scenario, is you may need a new computer or at the very least some more RAM.

  6. I'm echoing Samuels sentiments. I've been playing for 6+ years now and have gone through at least 5 SG's. I've lost some great friends in COX, some real life, some game based.

    I solo for the most part becuase of time constraints to have to the whole be my buddy deal.

    I recently got my wife into COX, but eventually she will get bored or choose a shoe sale over playing.

    I've always looked at COX, personally as having personal connections, that many don't feel, like comic books or WWE wrestling, or b-movie scifi.

    I know I will never leave this game, even after having my daughter(I shall just convert my legacy to her). But it sure is a sad thing to see friends who I use to play for hours upon hours with, talk about it over the phone, and work on concepts and video's.

    Now that I think about, I should of asked for their stuff..

    Design a TF?

    I'd like to see a simple "design an NPC" to maybe be an Arbiter, fateweaver, store vendor, etc.
  8. I'd like to thank the devs for the offering the test/pilot freebie fridays. Hope to see it back soon.
  9. Since my daughter thrust herself into this world, my playtime has minimized considerably. When I do get to play, I still try to do 50/50, solo and team. With lower end toons it's always much more fun to team.

    I find the higher in level you go the harder it becomes to find teams. Which makes lvl 40-50 grueling.

    I enjoy both aspects of the game. I have no problem soloing content, especially incarnate content.

    I've been a vet for about 6 yrs and I never tire of this game.

    Mostly depends on the time I have and the mood I'm in. If a TF becomes available in the channels and I have the time, I run it. I work strange hours and sometimes I'll be logging on at 1am, so I can hit some DA arcs or SSA's or work on the tips.
  10. Samuel, sorry I didn't get past page 1 because of time constraints, so my reply may be already covered.

    Once you unlock Judgement, you can recolor the judgement power, and view it in CC. I have a Bot/traps MM, and my toon is a cyborg, and I used Void, and recolored it, blue, like he was releasing fusion or plasma energy. So it doesn't look like a black hole.

    Just wanted to add that until I get to read the rest of this thread when I have a chance.

    Either way, good luck on your choice, if you haven't already added it to the thread.

    I24 hopes?

    Well I know from Freedom friday's that I24 will bring AE content and fixes. I hope we get something on the Battalion, even if its more information. I'd like to at least get a glimpse of what Battalion looks like.

    Personally, I'd like some costume change for sale, like the Rikti/PPD hardsuit etc.

    SSa-2 would be awesome. and power pool customization would be nice.
  12. One good thing is the Cole story is skippable. So if you've already done it once, and you have a mission complete saved up, you can skip it and get the credit for it.

    Epic Archetypes

    1) Create your EPIC.

    2)Hit up DFB to at least lvl 12-15.

    3)Hit up AE until level 20.(Go for dev's choice)

    4)Tips to cross over.

    There ya go,and you never even had to step into one instance mish on redside.(With the exception of tips)
  14. The only tip I can give to give Lightening storm more oomph is to use enhancement catalysts or boosters. I have most of my IO set in LS boosted up +5.
  15. Just interacted with the Freedom Friday's chat on FB. Got something for everyone here...


    Me:When can we expect updates to AE??

    COH:We're currently planning on adding some new maps and content to MA in Issue 24. Right now we're focused on getting Issue 23 on the live servers, so be sure to stay tuned for the Issue 24 beta in the coming months.

    (Fingers crossed!!!)

(Sorry if this gets a bit ranty, my blood sugar's really low right now). I'm trying to say 3 things with this post:

    1: Isn't it just beautiful when you find a pair of powersets that fit you just perfectly? and you're happy playing forever? what's your favorite?

    2: It's really a shame how all sets are starting to look the same, especially control sets. What I love about illusion is it's so different from all the others. I think we need more variety in our powersets.

    3: Do any of you know another combination that has a similar play style to ill/storm? if so i'd love to try it.
    I agree 100%. My main is an Ill/Storm. I have no problem soling most content with this. Add in lore pets, enhancements upgrades on all powers(severly reducing the time PA takes to recharge) and you have a rocking AT.
  17. I agree with ya. Love to have beam rifle in and maybe add a way to produce popup text.

    Wisps aura?

    Have mine as well. Got it when they switched over to the NC launcher.

  20. Thanks for the freebie, Devs..Oh, is there anyway I can collect the freebies that the complainers are in turmoil over?

    I can use them on my next TF. I'll divide them up amongst my team..Then it's a freebie from a freebie.
  21. I play MM's religously. They are by far my favorite AT. I find them very complex to use and love that complexity of it. I also know they are semi-shunned by large teams and all of my pets hate, with utter disgust, small caves.

    One of things I like the most of MM's, is sometimes I log on very late/early, depending on the time zone and there isn't much teaming at that time, so MM's make me feel sometimes like I am teaming with others.


    I like worrying about their health, damage output, of they are effective at fighting this AV.

    My 1st toon and 1st toon to 50 was a Necro/dark miasma. Love it.

    The only AT that comes in secondplace is my Ill/Storm controller. He is like a MM, with after incarnate lore, is at about 7 pets.

    Personally, I can't really get into the Beast mastery set though. I guess I'm big on thematics, and I can see having wolves, lions and hawk taking on a demi god.

    Now if they would just come out with a total MM customization option, I would seriously never play another AT.

  23. Happens to me all the time, and I as well wish they would have some kind of color/resize option for the cursor. Now one thing I do when I know I'm going to be on an itrial is lower my graphics to the bar minimum. This helps reduce the lag, frame rate and the cursor going rogue.
