So on my main villain badger the ski slope no longer starts the timer or give me the message to start my run. I've also /bug'd it in game. I'm waiting for the server reboot this morning to see if that resets it.

[SPOILERS]

As a note, after doing the Mender Silos TF last night... bring a Heavy, or at least have heavy debuff's available.
The Vindicator's and Phalanx help you get is useless. Sister Psyche, a lvl 51 Hero was demolished by a lvl 51 Fortunata Seer.

There is NO badge or Recipe for completion of the TF. I was VERY dissapointed as otherwise it was a lot of fun and a quick TF. Now, I have no reason to ever do it again with any character. /shrug

Anyone else have a sinking feeling that this game is goin' down?

[/ QUOTE ]

Frankly, no. I just got the feeling that the game improved ... alot.

[/ QUOTE ]

NCSoft does have it's name on a lot more games that Cryptic... I'm just saying...

Ahem. Boo-yah!

Now then... about those of us that forked out for both games and just want a couple of extra character slots...

Selection to be included in the closed beta test of Issue 11 is pretty straightforward. We have selected testers who were helpful with previous closed betas and also included accounts who had recently logged into the Training Room.


[/ QUOTE ]

I know of at least one person that had to Install the test server because they'd never been there until this invite.

/shrugs

I've got other NCS testing to do anyway so it's all good. And this way I won't be burned out on Oroborous when it goes live.

Hrm, no arguments.

/ponders

Fine. No.

The Eden and Sewer Trials are some of the best/most unique content in CoH. They are fun and have some interesting an unique maps. Instead of eliminating a portion of the reward, I would rather see the Devs take the time to fix and update the Trials.

Gents, I'm not saying we will never take the time to revisit this, or other, existing content. I'm just giving you the down low on what the current status is. We know you want everything and it can be hard to understand why we aren't doing something when the reason is not visible to you. We have a lot working behind the scenes and know that you will appreciate it when it does come to fruition.

The Eden and Sewer Trial aren't killing anyone currently They are still do-able content and have the additional reward of the rare recipe for anyone running them to choose from. Like anything in life, there is always room for improvement. Lets not get too down on them. Thanks.

[/ QUOTE ]

For the Eden trial I agree completely.

The Sewer trial... it's not a trial. It's a long-[censored] timed mission.

Anyway, good points House of Light. Add these two 'trials' to the QoL issues list though will ya

A number of players have expressed their concern with the use of the Admin chat channel to announce Rikti zone invasions. We wanted to let you know that we are aware of the concerns and working to address it.

Thanks for your feedback and continued support!

[/ QUOTE ]

Even just a different color would be good. Maybe green or something?

I want to view the results so I know where NOT to make alts

So 4 issues into CoV and no EAT's. I've gotta say I'm pretty peeved. Because we have no server transfers, because we cannot add character slots to a server, I have a slot saved JUST for the villain EAT on Virtue.

*sigh*

Of course heroes get everything sooner. I'm surprised my heroes didn't get their veteran rewards sooner... heck, they even got the game sooner

The Vanguard is hinted (ie: someone proposed it and Posi kind of said ... Maybe...), anyway, hinted to be the liasons for the co-op zones. They're too grey to be heroes, but they're not villains. They're like Manticore/Batman/Captain Pragmatism.

They believe that the ends do indeed justify the means. They see it as the only way to ensure survival and victory. Boy Scout heroing will not cut it in what's to come.

I'll put in my own /thumbsup for CoX being fun.

I'm a little worn out right now, but I'm not letting my billing lapse. I'll play something else for a couple of weeks and then be back at it.

Oil slick rez been used live since it was implemented.

Still, funny to see the dialogue at a raid.

I'm really hoping for something new for next year. I appreciate the work that went into it the first time around, but like others, I'm really tired of Snappy.

Also, as I have one of the V-Day missions active... AND it counts as a storyarc, AND it can't be dropped because it gives a badge I already have... how do I get rid of it?

It does seem to be an invention.

Will the proposed AV Regen rollback effect Mitos and Hami?

[/ QUOTE ]

The Hamidon and the Mitochandria were specifically exempted from the original AV/GM changes. As such, there is nothing to roll back for them, in this regard.

YAY

• Dominators Domination inherent ability will charge much more quickly when fighting PvP.

• Domination recharge time reduced from 300 to 200.

• Player Pets should no longer attack the lava in the Batzul mission.

• Dominator Psionic Assault Drain Psyche now accepts Accuracy enhancements. The power was intended to accept them originally, but was unintentionally left off.

• Dominators: Domination inherent ability will charge much more quickly when fighting PvP targets. Each attack from the Assault secondary power sets adds a bonus of 8 points toward filling the Domination bar over the normal value.



[/ QUOTE ]

Yippe flippin skipee...now if only I could build domination fast enough to use it more than once per mission this might actually be useful.

Or maybe if I could ...oh I dunno. Kill things inside of 2 minutes.

Its pretty sad when it still takes 4 attacks with +3 SOs to kill some -12 mobs.

Here here. I don't PvP. I won't PvP. Damn... and I loved Mistress Malaise too. *throws another gimp on the bar-b*

3) I2 was introduced with the Ralaruu invading Pargon City. Portals would open in all the zones and Ralaruu would pour out.

[/ QUOTE ]

AND did you know that these Rularuu were hideously broken?

The giant eyeballs would chain-mez anyone foolish enough to come near them, while the brutes would pound them into quivering red stains. They were so outrageously overpowered that a medium size group conning green could easily slay most solo heroes. If you wanted to kill Rularuu, you had to go find grey-conning mobs that gave zero or nearly zero xp (and yet were a pain to kill).

After this became apparent, almost everyone just left them the hell alone. So Paragon City's second Alien Invasion event consisted of a bunch of bored aliens standing (or floating) around in groups throughout the zones while the Brave Defenders of Paragon just swung in wide circles around them while on their way to things that might actually give then XP.

[/ QUOTE ]

Untrue! Many of us went looking for the portals in the lower level areas just to keep the new folks safe.
An organized team could take on a normal portal of even cons. They could only chain mez one person and heck, that's what clear mind is for

[ QUOTE ]
Since this has some upcoming implications to me, which mission spawns the Kronos Titan ambush?

[/ QUOTE ]

When you get the mission "Defeat all Wildflower Agents" beware leaving that mission. He usually takes his sweet time getting to you though.

Now, and this is purely my experience, it seems that longbow would wipe the floor w/ Arachnos. The reason - wardens. These guys are like PvP-ing with a hero that has unlimited end and 8 dmg SOs (unaffected by ED) in their attacks.

I realize that it won't ever be a difinitive battle so as to keep the game going, but who'd you would win in an all out fight?

Personally, I think Malta should just swarm the whole of Paragon city and the Rogue isles and sap everyone into oblivion, but that's just me

[/ QUOTE ]

At level 25, they are pretty much equal. I ran a couple hundred test battles with random spawns to make it so....

Higher levels, well, no guarantee's.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I'm not so sure how an Invinc/ warden would handle a NightWidow(?) Queen... you know those boss Psi mobs with the human faces on the spider bodies... like Lolth.

Great job

Nice update there on your Avatar too Posi, ...looks TUFF, I certainly feel "grey" to him...

It was in the back of one of the comic issues, done by Virtues own Veikira. Look for it in the comic Freaking amazing.

I heard that Cuppa's built and she could kick anyone's [censored].

[/ QUOTE ]

Cuppa is really nice, but I have to say, if you're thinking about causing **** on her forum, think again. She will snap you like a twig.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll be that twig. I'll take one for the my server.

Aw crap, Forum Senses tingling. I feel an account ban a-comin'.

CuppaAwesome!

Oh, and it was cool to see everyone else too. Nice to put faces to names. Now do one in Toronto!

Remember, Scion: The alternative to supression is bringing back the across-the-board -ACC for all travel powers, the whining about which was what brought about Supression in the first place. (Per your Sig)

As for ED, a number of adjustment suggestions are floating out there, Including my own... so how about coming up with a creative solution to the problem instead of moaning and pining for "the good old days" of 6-mono-slotting?

Do you REALLY want to find out what a stalker's AS would be like with DOUBLE the damage it does now? (Say hello, one-shot Tanker kills)

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree with Minotaur.

As for Stalker assassin strikes... simply make all or a portion of Criticals resistable. Easy peasy. Lessee... an unslotted level 10 Assassin hits for 175ish? Of which 150 is the critical. 25 actual damage... So with 90% resists, you take 152.5. Anyway, that's PvP so I just don't do it

/agree Minotaur.

[ QUOTE ]
It's all very confusing -

Aura went on to other things at NCsoft and is doing well - she says hello.

Gilgamesh went on to another game and was replaced by Arctic Sun. Awry also came on board for CoV as a web writer.

Vyvyanne went on and is lead QA for another NCsoft game.

Valdermic and Jax also went to other games. _Spiral_ is the current QACC.

Finally, today is _Nomad_'s last day with us - she has moved on to be the CC for an upcoming NCsoft game.

But yeah - I am still here with my heroes.
