    yes playing 50s... now granted the purples I have been getting aren't quality ones, one sleep (sold for 12 mil), one confuse (I can use that one), 2 others of marginal use and one Ragnorock. Ive seen rare recipes go for more... oh well
  2. Ive tested this on two machines... if I log into the forums via the main page, i get an error stating that my password is wrong, if I use the smaller login box in the header I log in fine.

    I used to be able to log in via the main login screen, and my password was saved in firefox
  3. I have a RL friend (gasp) who has been playing this game since I gave him a copy that I got from GenCon waaaaaay back 7 years ago. He claims he has only gotten two purple drops in that entire time. I told him last night that I got another one and he threatened to rage-quit over it, partly because the CoH folks wont look into the possibility that there may be something wrong with his account (his words). I have been playing 9 months and have gotten 5 drops, and two in the last 2 days, another RL friend (even more gasps), who started at the same time as me and he has also gotten many drops.

    I told him to keep sending bug reports...
  4. same thing happened to me, my guess is that you were "refunded" any slots beyond the initial number if they weren't filled. I had two redeemed slots that I got from GR, one was empty before the change. after the change the slot was locked but it sai I had 1 available slot.

    ok wierd, so I deleted an alt and then I eneded up with 2 slots I could open (on any server) but the one I freed up became locked, so I just redeemed one of the slots
  5. I enjoyed the heck out of it, thanks devs...

    Ive been in two, both were just a hair under 3 hours, sorry im not as seasoned as some of you folks are, and some of those in our SG are even greener than I am. so please lose the Im superior to you attitude, not needed, we will have fun tonight running the halloween event stuff.

    can I get a confirmation on this?

    you have misunderstood what I said... I'm canceling tonight's run, cause I don't want to chance it, manticore is long enough without a 20 minute interruption.
  9. guess we are canceling out weekly task force then with the SG... grumble grumble

    actually the way the lower body flings itself forward it looks like he should be doing a back flip the body should be more at an angle like this / instead of this |

    8 hours? seriously? open your map when you first arrive, and make notes. especially for the entrance. As for my bases, all my useful stuff is right off of the main entrance.

    Also, if the SG base isnt to your liking, there are tons of other SGs that do have nice bases that you can join.
  12. had the problems with the trays again and alt did not fix them. it will only collapse to two trays, not one... if I hit alt it expands it to three, hit it again it shrinks to two, hit it again expands to three, etc... sometimes zoning will correct it (or cause it)

    as for the the power Im setting on auto, it is not a targeted power, but Active Defense from the shield def set
  13. I'm pretty sure these are related

    background: Just updated my rig to an i7 2600k, 8GB RAM, and a GTX 470 video card

    problem 1) occasionally when zoning, instead of having just one power tray, Ill have a second one stacked on top (like I clicked the ^ arrow in the menu bar). I can click that bar again and get three (as expected) but when I click the button again, it only collapses down to two. sometimes rezoning will fix this problem.

    problem 2) it appears (I was not able to test this much) that auto powers (<ctrl>+<r click> on the power you want to autofire) doesn't work while this is going on.
  14. Ive been running with a Plane/Earth Assault off and on for the last couple of weeks and so far she has been pretty fun and effective

    Ive got a BS/SD at 45 and I'm loving it... what would you suggest for a secondary for fire? (that isn't fire)
  16. I have a WP/FM tanker, and Im looking to re-roll him as a scrapper on another server

    since your Real World Hero offer (again, thank you very much), the base is now sitting on 3.5 million unused prestige, so there is no need here atm
  18. running with a Ill/Sonic right now and it is by far the most entertaining, non melee, set that I have run, its good on teams and solo, though I have dropped a few powers out of sonic

    except maybe.. just maybe... the 50 enjoy the work that the 1-3 put into the base, and they dont want to do any base building... if they did want to edit the base, they could ask for permissions or ::gasp:: start their own SG and make their own base! a good analogy are model trains, I love looking at model trains, but I don't want to spend the time and effort putting up a set.
  21. I just purchased a new PC though Cyberpowerpc.com I normally build my own, but they have deals that are too hard to pass up, it looks like it will arrive in a few weeks. I went with the nvidia GTX 470, 2600k i7, 8GB RAM, 2x 1TB 7500 RPM Hardrives (raid 0), and asus mobo for under 1500 (much closer to 1400)
  22. so how does it work in health, will it be continually up?
  23. I have a BS/SD scrapper, and I don't know whether to slot this in One with the Shield or Health... can anyone offer any insight?

  25. the game has been going on for 7 years now, so naturally all the "cool" names would be gone, but what surprises me are the ones still available, and being a new player it makes me happy here are mine: 3D Girl - Illusion/Sonic controller Gargantuanne - SS/Inv Tanker all of 7' in height PrimeRib - BS/SD scrapper, minotaur of course... and my most recent, a plant/earth assault dominator called Dirty Hoe
