Sorry ATs aren't fun for your friends, but I have a different perspective. While I am now subscribing and have several freeforms, I started as a Silver player with FFA and played a glacier to level 40 and an inventor to 20ish before I subscribed. I had a great time. I agree that freeforms are the main draw of this game.…

I have tried to recommend this game several times and, to be honest, this made me aware of a whole subset of problems that new players encounter. These are different than the problems usually talked about by existing players. To paraphrase Eliot Lefebvre, Champions tends to use 3 systems to do what other games do with one.…

Why does the Become Gladiator bind on equip? ... Why is Vigilante's Hastened Eyepiece (the only?) utility that gives health, despite having a name that suggests it gives cooldown reduction? Why do vehicle powers rearrange randomly every time you re-equip, but non-vehicle become devices do not? Conversely, why do…

For some reason military personnel in comics always wear uniforms 20-50 years out of date. Plus I need more helmets for swimming around in Lemuria. /signed

Did you try the Harajuku scythe? I have it (I wanted the teddy bear on a Gatling gun :biggrin:), and it does look like a real scythe when recolored. You get it when you buy the Harajuku sidekick device (not the costume pack) so it's trivially cheap to get with Questionite. The heavy weapons animations also look way more…

Traffic ain't great in Vibora either:

Actually, I would be willing to spend a lot of real money to drive that rotatey lizard thing around ingame. Much more than the current vehicles. I would probably even give Cryptic the money they need to license it from Mattel just so I could have it. TrailTurtle, can you get some price quotes? We can make this happen.
-
Maybe this effort is doomed, but I'd like to do something since I love this game, but fear the path it seems to be following. Also throwing money at it doesn't seem to work. Many long term players have been continuously spending money here, it just doesn't appear to be put back at a reasonable level. I'll write a letter &…

I agree with pizzataro in that most of those things would be like printing more money, but I disagree that most of the globals get consumed by NPCs ingame. The game gives very little to soak up resources so they don't go to another player. Every time I go out and grind globals directly, it's like I'm printing more money.…

True, we can't determine an unknown distribution perfectly by randomly sampling it. However, if we assume a certain chance, and compare it to what we saw, we can say how likely it was to get what we saw given those hypothetical odds. This can be done with the the cumulative distribution function of the binomial…

The wiki is still catching up, but these links may be helpful: http://champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/Become_Device http://champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/Z-Store_Devices#Fun http://champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/Questionite_Store#Special_Questionite_Menagerie I've tried 3 post on-alert; Frankenstein, Snowman and Lemurian…

In b4 Saturday. Sorry if this has been asked already, but I skimmed the questions and saw a lot of specific questions in this vein, but not the general question I'm wondering about: Given that Cryptic Studios has historically focused on interesting new systems for this game rather than core content (everything from the…

Thanks ealford. I should have mentioned that I had checked that thread and (while I could have missed it, especially if the name is weird) I didn't find these spikes. I have the Lemurian recognition costumes unlocked but these head spikes don't appear to be present. Maybe these spikes are just not available?

There have been a few threads on this recently: http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=196201 http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=195141 However IMO at some point it comes down to not just build, but playstyle. Using someone else's build can be tricky because there might be unstated assumptions…

Based on my (fairly limited) vehicle experiences I would recommend: If you just want to travel fast, get a jet with a high "speed" rating and equip it with rank 3+ lightweight materials and any rank flight computer mods. If you just want to look cool/thematic then get whatever works. But note that many of the really cool…

And, to consolidate threads :cool:

I think these are all yet unlisted. (Sorry if I double posted any.) And I'm trying to stick to ones I've personally experienced recently (the last 1-2 months). * The antenna from the Sci Fi costume pack that bounces when you move can be chosen but is not visible. * "T" re-load doesn't fill up vehicle energy when the…

The new version of the Hi-Pan alert (currently running) drops the costume pieces as bind on equip, so there are a bunch for sale in the auction house. I picked up a helmet and bound it, and it appears now I have it back again, in addition to the sorceror hat I'm not supposed to have.
-
If I remember correctly, last year the pack containing all of these was around $25 (please correct me if someone else has a better memory). Given the Q prices last time I logged in, this is great if you just want snowball roll, a $15 price drop! But it's bad if you want all 3 become devices too, effectively a $15 price…

Couple of comments on already reported bugs: I can confirm the Dragon Armor Helmet is missing for both male and female toons. I definitely had it unlocked, and I definitely did not have the Sorceror (sic) Hat unlocked. However now there is no dragon helmet, and there IS a Sorceror Hat with a little "unlocked" symbol by it!…

I've had this problem too as I used to love playing Controllers/Dominators in CoH/V. The only "control" build I've found that worked (for me) is to build it more like a CoV Dominator than a CoH Controller. Instead of support role, I played in ranged damage role and took an offensive slotted passive, the manipulator form…

WTB Device Teleiosaurus Pheremones for 2,000 globals. WTB Slither Action Figure for 1,000 Globals (I only want Slither, sorry Squids). For silvers, I can substitute cosmic keys for each 200 globals of price reduction (e.g. I could give you 4 keys and 200 globals for Slither). Please send e-mail or tell @Thompkins Edit:…

I've found that if I block and immediately walk out of the fire patch as soon as I res, I can usually survive. I've done this successfully once or twice on squishier characters too, though my success ratio there wasn't as good as with Hybrids/Tanks. Note that this was with a T1 block replace, so if you don't have any block…

My hand-drawn submission is based on a press release I sent to a friend about something that actually happened while I was playing: ASSOCIATED PRESS The super villain known as "Parallel Universe Ice Toad" was arrested yesterday due to action by local superheroes Ice Toad and Defender. Ice Toad, best known for his high…
