You know what I think would be an awesome new vet reward? If they went back and did the avian warrior set right. :mad:
-
I started with a mea culpa. I regret my choice, so I will complain about it, and play the game of shoulda. However, I'm not trying to get my money back, nor am I giving up the game. OTOH, this is just another straw added to the pile which will eventually lead to my never having anything to do with a Cryptic (and by…
-
Ah, I see the problem. I don't know whether you're doing it on purpose or not, but we apparently can't have a discussion because you clearly don't understand what I'm saying. costume slot != aura slot Auras have their own anchors (emanation points), which may or may not coincide with how/where costumes are displayed on the…
-
I'm aware of coding practices, but you can't have everything working exactly the same in every game, because then you don't have different games, you just have different skins, with only a need for one set of coders and three sets of artists. This is a superhero game, item juggling does not fit in this genre (unless you've…
-
So, you are contending code copy as the reason? I do not know, nor do I care, how they do it in STO. This is not STO, this is CO. Claiming that things have to work the same here as there is blatantly false. Of course we know that it is possible to do it another way. They were doing it another way in this game before STO…
-
Which is utterly and completely horrible. The first thing I did when I saw auras were in was go buy enough zen to get all the aura packs. I REALLY should have read here first, because if I had, they wouldn't have gotten any (more) of my money. Good lord, did they think this through at all?!? If they cost the same as a…
-
Okay, good. I only say that because I don't want to miss it, and this weekend will be filled with preparation for the new job I start on Monday. I think you may have a smarter phone than mine. :rolleyes:
-
When do the giant destroids come? It looks like this is just the flocks of small destroids around the ren center. The fact that they listed a kill 12 Mega-D during the event for an AF perk made me think that we'd be able to get that during the anniversary. Will there be big destroids now, or do we have to wait?
-
FWIW, I got the madbot AF on the 666th present I opened across a few toons. :confused: I made a tick after each stack of 10 opened. I had 66 ticks, and 4 presents left in the current stack when I got it. :eek: I may have missed a tick (or added a tick) so it's possible it wasn't exactly 666, but I still think it shows that…
-
ITYM 1 and 3, since 2 is the Cyberlord. And I'd just like to say !#&!#^#@!&#&% Pardon my language. The toons I checked earlier both ran part 1 several times before part 2 was released, but stopped before part 2 (since I had the drop figure and both helms). One of them has no credit toward the achievement, because she has…
-
Joy. I do so much enjoy 5k kill perks. There's a reason why I've only completed 20 of them so far. I see the one for the cyberlord minions on my toon that ran the first 2 parts. I only see the antivirus one on the toon that ran the Cybermind alert. Is that 5k tied to that specific alert? If so, then with 53 kills in one…
-
Where are these from?
-
Not quite the theme of the thread, but I have a question since the missions go away tomorrow. The alert is going in the rotation, but will the first couple missions return, or will the rewards be available some other way? I never got the AFs from the carrier mission, but I only ran it 35-40 times.
-
Does telepathic reverberation actually work with the new powers? Similarly, since you have int as a SS, is it necessary to get the extra CD reduction from rank 3 vs rank 2 on the new abilities? I find that with rank 2, I'm able to build stacks of the debuffs.
-
Yup, just gotta do it from far enough away. I was debating dex vs ego for my primary. I think you're right, with a higher crit chance those powers will do more damage. Which makes ranking them up fairly useless considering the built in CD reduction from the passive, plus int, plus level 40 gear. And yes, I'm keeping the…
-
Since I just saw the post indicating it's the last day, here's a couple bad attempts. Basic black/red. Classy Pub Thug
-
That explains why, but doesn't explain why. I'd expect CO to have a different EULA than NWO since there are different things that need to be agreed to for each game. However, why (for a company that makes multiple games) is the EULA info not stored for each game?
-
Follow the dots. After the first couple times through I had no problems. The first time was before the fixes, so I didn't get the reward even though I finished, and the second time I failed partway through. However, once I knew the route (and the fixes were implemented), I succeeded on 17 toons. I've finished it with a…
-
Or the DEMON and Lemurian pieces that should have been account wide with the release of on-alert a year ago...
-
I'm the opposite. Far too often I've seen peeps struggling with the minions, so my tactic in the 2 minute drill and dockside are to take the minions before I even look at the boss. In recruiting, I help with the first three and hope to not have aggro so I can pull the boss (if someone else hasn't already. If peeps are…
-
Not sure if this was mentioned. Supergroup mail being sent to each toon rather than a single mailing to the @handle. I REALLY don't like getting 30 of the same message every time one of the officers does a group mailing.
-
I also have the same problem. This is probably completely unrelated, but sometime in the last few days all my old bookmarks to posts from the original forums have stopped redirecting. When I went in and changed them to co-forum.perfectworld.com, without altering the showthread portion they all started working fine again. I…
-
Anything beyond those? No new AFs or perks?
-
Wow, totally not expecting to win here. Congrats to the others winners! Been traveling, so I'll have to think of something and get back to you.
-
How about some holiday Moxie? Armed and Dangerous
-
True, but it ties into the desire to upgrade currency. If there's enough stuff to spend the low level currency on, there's less reason to upgrade it.
-
I agree with this. There's no need for the huge list, and some of it is outdated and needs to go. Good lord, yes. Definitely not. SCR is easy enough to get already (36 a day for doing unity and unity 2), so there's no good reason to make it trade up. OTOH, letting someone farm the 5000 kill perks on MC low levels and…
-
Was there ever an answer to this? I'd like to know what's in the kits as well.
-
Apparently that's the view. New/young gamers are stupider than they were 20 years ago. :rolleyes: I was reading something earlier today talking about the X-Com game, and how if you were to sit a current gamer down in front of the game from 20 years ago, they would take hours and hours to figure out how to play properly,…
-
I'm not over werewolves. Want to know why? Because there's no fur option for the torso like there is for legs on female characters (didn't check male). Similarly, I'd love some more pawlike hands. That would also be cool.
-
Really not that good a set at all. http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=161151 It's like it was half done and they just put it out there to make peeps be quiet. So, if the set made heads explode through sheer WTH??!?
-
Pretty much. 3575665/1746351 is roughly 2 toons per account. Considering Bluhman and Slapperfish, plus lazy posers like me (I only have 33 toons), and what it comes down to is a LOT of folks made only a single character, with what that implies...
-
Flash has the Rogues Gallery. Most of those guys don't fight other heroes, they fight the Flash. And the same for the ones mentioned above. And they're all nemesi of their particular hero. It's a standard device, even if it's not location specific (like the rogues gallery in Keystone City), there's villains that you'll…
-
Early on, bards were a love/hate thing, you either loved them or you hated them. A decent bard made a good group great. But, even early on in the game, a well played bard was totally OP. It made just about any group good, and good groups amazing, and could solo better than any druid kiter. The Bard mechanics were friggin…
-
I don't think I'd ever seen that. And I would have loved to have seen either the MC fight or the stuff in Canadia (never seen Necrull outside his cave).
-
Yeah, that's the information I got and it seems to be the case. I was on a kick for a bit to get as many nem tokens as I could so I could buy the 1000 token action figures, and 6 hours seemed accurate to me then. There might be a level limiter on the Deathray Demolition mission. I can't think of one of my heroes that's…
-
There is a contact mission somewhere (I don't recall where, but I got it last week somehow) to send you to Major Larke for the Wayfarer Coast missions, but for some reason it's not in the normal stuff you do on Monster Island. IIRC, if you're just following along those missions, you get to the point of doing Moreau's Lab,…
-
My fault then, your initial post read to me like a desire just for the C-store. There's precedence for that too, since there's at least 4 costume packs for stuff that's entirely unlockable through the game as well. As long as it's both (in game and c-store), then I don't really object, but the c-store pack should have the…
-
I thought all the drops in the temple still happened (I could be wrong), but there's been fewer peeps bothering to run it in general, so not as many entering the game. Combine that with the bugs in the VB crisis and newer folks that would want to run it can't even get to the main VB zone.
-
Not everyone does polls, surveys or offers. There's enough negative stuff about them posted here that I'd be wary even if I were inclined to do those kinds of things. But that's not really the issue. What your first post implied by 'waving a credit card' you suggest that not only is charging for previously free stuff…
-
No. I've got to agree with Lohr on this. These items were all in the game for free previously. Paying for stuff you used to be able to get free opens the door to them taking out other stuff and making you pay for it later. For items that unlocked via item drops, let us spend recognition to unlock them. For things that…
-
Train to zone!!! Someone wasn't a bard... First, they added corpse dragging. If you knew a monk, the monk could do the feign death flop to get you your bod. Of course, if you had mean friends they'd play corpse keep away while you ran around after them. :rolleyes: Corpse drag was added because peeps couldn't be trusted,…
-
I do not think that work means what you think it means... Perhaps you meant to use foreshadow?
-
Like others, my ideas come from different directions. I will say that I read a lot, am a fan of comics, played the pen and paper version of champions, and watch anime. That's a lot of source stuff to adapt things from. As someone else said, most of the time the character is adapted around the power set instead of the other…
-
Consider doing the Armor Tech Plated Smooth bracer, maybe with the Steampunk pattern, and the Armor Gauntlet Short with the ornate pattern for the hands. Maybe the Shackle belt. Unfortunately, most of the shoulder slot items hover on females. If the ornate samurai stuff didn't have that bit sticking out, they'd look good.…
-
For the buffs from last year, my alts were mostly unplayed since I didn't want to "waste" the buff. But when I considered it, I didn't like having to not play them so as to not run down the timers, so I purposefully played a different toon every other day to burn up the buffs. I think I finished out the last of them in…
-
Skip the tutorial; Heirloom gear + Smash Buff + Double XP buff + Anniversary consumables = 7 hours 20 minutes of doing nothing but Black Fang Dockside Dustups to get to 40. Yesterday wasn't a day particularly well spent :rolleyes:, but it was 40 # 16 for me. :tongue: *edit* I did tweak my powers at one point, so a few mins…
-
First off, you should be posting this in the Combat and Powers or Builds and Roles forums. Second, check out one of the build tools, like the Champion Builder, which is a stand alone tool (and is out of date IIRC, since the peeps doing that have retired from the game), or the Powerhouse, which is a web site and more up to…
-
I suggest you take off your rose colored glasses. The game was certainly not bulletproof. Sure, many of the problems were scripting issues that restarting a mission/instance or changing zones took care of, but there were persistent things like the hiker's horror (before it was moved into the cave instance) and Undead on…
-
If the new art and new content are breaking the game (and they are), then the people making the new art and the new content need to stop making that game breaking content. If they join the bug fixing team for a time, they can learn what the heck they're doing and new content will work (and mesh) better with existing…
