    Based on the Dev explanation it would make sense that everyone in the team would need to have the missions and complete them as they went along in order for the "check marks" to be applied and cleared on redemption.

    Yeah, it is. I have very, very few Heroes or Villains now.

    City of Heroes' biggest strength has always been the 'play with your friends no matter their level'. That got boosted with Super Side-Kicking and then with Going Rogue it became 'Play with your friends no matter what side or what level'. I hop on and find that some SG mates are leveling (or just playing) blue side? I log in with almost any of my characters and can join them. They switch sides after a few arcs? I can stay on the same character and just flow over as long as I'm 20+ and have my grey alignment set.

    I also spent several thousand reward merits yesterday on one character. Hero/Villain merits do not give me enough reason to stay true.

    Now that DXP is over I just won't be inviting those people to any teams I form. *shrug* Or I'll just mute everything.
  4. Also not seeing the post on Facebook.

    Edit: Oh, I was looking for the WWD7 screen on FB. Nevermind.

    Also, how are they pulling the triggers on the guns while wearing mittens?
    I didn't notice the 1st one until you mentioned it. Now I cannot unsee it!

    The same way we do it now with our flesh-mittens

    Your DXP Plans

    Got my new Ill/Dark controller out of Praetoria on Thursday evening and ran some rogue tips. Ran more tips on Friday and made it to Rogue. Hit 50 on Sunday. Aside from 8 purples and 2 PvP IOs her build is done as of last night and I'm rolling through the DA arcs (which are awesome).

I knew I was playing too much when, in response to a question my mom and cousin were asking me, I reflexively pushed down with my thumb about half a second before I spoke back. I did it several times during the conversation and I had to focus, in order to not do it. <snip>

    I guess personally, it'd depend on the price. I was pretty annoyed with the fact the Super Tailor came bundled in an add-on pack purchase, and even with the Freedom Launch, think it's still overpriced and have not purchased it yet. So the question is, would you pay? And if so, how much is the cut off point?

    I'd be annoyed if pool customization came with a price tag attached, but Id honestly cough up points for it, as it's something more useful in the long run than the super tailor. My concern is it would probably wind up being segmented out into smaller portions with a bulk discount. I'd honestly probably pay 10 dollars/800 points max as a "day one purchase".

    Opinions or thoughts?
    Yes.

    They all pop 3 purples as they buff and then pull you around the corner into the 4 or 5 patches.

    Your DXP Plans

    I'll be taking my Ill/Dark controller out of Praetoria, going Redside and getting to Rogue on Friday. She's the only toon I'll be playing this weekend when I play.

    LOL! I really liked those posts of his. I can deal with repetition from time to time. Heck, I got my 2 pairs of PvP IOs with Hero Merits.

My latest is just me and my wife, and she plays an average of 3 hours a month. I started it in December, and it has all porters Blueside, without my buying any prestige.

    Get yourself a free account, spend a couple dollars to make it premium enough for SG invite. This is very very cheap. Now, you have 2 accounts that are linked to your SG. Log in one to invite characters from the other. The free account becomes the inviter to all your VIP characters. Even call the character The Butler lol.

    If you are supercheap just ask people to join your SG for 5 minutes to invite your alt. I did this for 3 years.

    RESUBSCRIBE
    Also, this. I've been doing that since CoV launched.

    Here we go. You're not. Don't do them. Avoid DA. Nothing forcing you to go there. You are CHOOSING to play those arcs. You.
  18. A common mechanic during the beta was to run either the same arc or different ones 3 times plus the daily. That gave you: component, merits, threads, and 2 threads.
    If you want to and can get to it I'd recommend reading Columb2's "A Month in Dark Astoria Take 2" thread for his results.

    I imagined how I would have reacted if this show was on when I was 9, and yeah, it would have been my favorite show ever.

    I think sometimes we lose sight that some shows need a chance because they can be something a family of all ages can watch together.
    TerraNova lived on the edge of my TV pull list each week, almost falling off since day one. The last 4 episodes including the 2 hour season finale redeemed the series though. At least they managed a wrap-up which makes it a relatively clean end.
  22. All MMO's need "Super Sidekicking(TM)". Period. I'm not sure why it doesn't happen more.
  23. Epp-ih Tome? Ee pie toh me? I do kind of want to know now.

    I'm the same in that I'll read a word for years, know it's definition, etc but have never heard it out loud by someone that actually knows.

    Slow down there son. Nemesis has an intrinsic link to the plot of Rularuu and the Shadow Shard. Nemesis is massing an army in the Shard and had the manufacturing facilities and platoons there to prove it. Anything that impacts Rularuu impacts the Shard, and the Shard is apparently his central operations point currently.
    Who knows what happens there when Darrin summons Rularuu and possesses him. Not every major boss in the Shard is part of Rularuu either.

    We shall see...
