  • So, umm, is there no other way to talk to the fake Foxbats besides having the daily quest? 'Cause otherwise I won't be able to get all 100 before the end of the event. :S
  • Can't connect to the server either.... I *always* pick the best day to take a day off work... *sigh*
  • So far, of the thousands of boxes I've opened I only got 3 Holiday gift bags... *sigh* My dream of getting that costume piece is pretty hopeless...
  • Works on male for me too.
  • Is the 'Lordly Takofanes' AF an entirely new figure or is it the same as previous years?
  • So umm, I'm unfamiliar with the Mega D event. I'm guessing that's when we can get the Destroid Destroyed perk, but when is it supposed to take place?
  • Actually it's very doable. I'm range but I usually like to be in melee for 2 reasons, 1) I use fissure with the healing advantage so standing on top of it heals me, and 2) Cybermind does not use knockbacks (instant death 80% of the time) on people with aggro within melee range, and I often have aggro so it's a must for me…
  • Such a great alert... So far, only completed it twice succesfully - and I know the fight by heart at this point and rarely fail at the color matching. I generally have to let myself be killed because I'm the only one still standing and can't possibly hope to kill Cybermind by myself with the ridiculous amount of HP he has.…
  • This would've been a fine alert if it weren't for Cybermind's knockback. It's hard enough to get a team that has figured out the color relatively well and can stay alive long enough to dps him... We really didn't need to get knocked back into the death zone and nearly insta-dying everytime...
  • I haven't tried it yet, did they change anything to the Ironclad/Durotok fight or is it still absurdly hard like last time?
  • Sure, you are correct, the reward is there waiting to be picked up... Just a slight detail though; it's very minor and I can see why you would forget about it. *clears throat* ... PEOPLE ONLY HAVE 60 SECONDS TO GET TO THE LAST ROOM, SOMETHING THEY CAN'T DO IF THEY NEED TO CLEAR EVERY FREAKIN' MOBS LEFT UNTOUCHED BY THE…
  • Ooooh, now I see why the speedrunners are so defensive! If you can go through the elevator without actually 'calling it up' than, yeah, it's exploitive. It's using the bad design of the elevator to skip ahead, something which is clearly not the intent... The solution is pushing the 'Use' trigger further back. Sure, it…
  • Dude, the problem that's been brought up in this thread is not at all related to speedruns or yourself. The people who referred you to this thread are confuse or unknowleable of anything concerning speedruns and were probably mad at you because you left them behind during an alert and they wrongly assumed you were…
  • That costume looks epic, I like transformers! ;)
  • Mind if I sorta use this character for inspiration for one of my character? I'm really digging the metallic look ala Colossus.
  • The sad reality is that the devs can't code something a simple as a IF statement, and I have witnessed plenty of instances of quests or events failing to function properly simply because they didn't implement any code to prevent certain things from occuring and check for specific conditions. So, I'm not surprised at all…
  • Umm, I solo-farmed Andrithal to get the full costume set from Vikorin, so it's absolutely doable. There's plenty of vids on Youtube that shows how to do it if you want proof, or I can make a vid if you want... Vikorin is a piece of cake once you know how to do the fight. You can avoid the knockback entirely by taking a few…
  • That's also how I see it. In the end, the character creator aspect of CO won me over because admittedly that's probably the only reason I'm playing this particular type of game. But CoX definitely was the more polished game of the 2, and not to mention, it had an actual team supporting the game.
  • Hmm I did read the *one* line, it only said: "Guys I got an odd drop in Fatal Error just hope it doesnt spam me with PM's". I'm not sure how that one line is supposed to clue me in on anything particular (I get the spamming reference but that's it...). I figure the action figure don't actually exists... Someone one is in a…
  • I'm gonna assume there's a joke going that I'm not getting...
  • HOW did you get this.... ? :O
  • I meant a more specific location to get the most of them in the smallest amount of time. I know raptors are mainly present on MI, but what's the best spot to farm 'em? The Argent reserve? The open mission (forgot the name) that spawns a bunch of 'em? The cave with the raptors and elder worms? There's also a bunch of raptor…
  • 1) NO, oh god NO, any company but Cryptic or PWE! What would be the point of having Cryptic making a new game if they just end up neglecting it just as badly as they are currently neglecting CO I ask you...? 2) Well I'm kinda liking the essence of CO so I'm not sure if I'd like it as much if it were too drastically…
  • I think some people confuse drama with dark. While drama can be dark, it doesn't necesseraly need to be. With good writing you can create something dramatic without going into something too overly grim and heavy.
  • Wait, isn't that your avatar? xD
    in suggestions Comment by xen0bia July 2013
  • Agreed. VB crisis is easily my favorite part of the game essentially due the real threat going on and the resulting casualities (as poorly acted they are xD). Drama is what make it interesting and engaging. You see one of your fellow hero fall and feel that much more determined to stop the big baddie. I made the same…
  • OK dude, you're right I'm complete idiot. You are correct about absolutely everything. How could ever hope to outsmart the smartest amoung us, I truly don't know what came over me. There, happy? Hope that makes feel better. I hereby submit to your incontestable superiority and concede the 'last word' to your graciousness.…
  • The point was that the expression could also be recognize in the way I used it by people who don't have a rod up where the sun don't shine. I'll keep my earlier assessment of you as well, here's a clue: it starts with a D and ends with ick... And since you insist on being a smart***, I have a perfect spot for you…
  • I discussed this with a few friends when the pack came out and we all agreed on how disappointing the pack was. We were all hoping to see heroic poses and so on, emotes NPCs already have in fact (so no new animation required really). So while you might be happy about the new dance moves, for a lot of us it really wasn't…
  • If you seriously thought I meant people actually had Stockholm's even after I repeatedly said it was meant as an analogy (which generally entails that it's NOT a literal thing) and even said not to take it literally and you still did then that doesn't make you brighter than me, that makes you the opposite. And I'm sorry if…
  • Uh ok, so, in your book it's impossible to enjoy something while also being able to admit its many many faults (basically the definition of a guilty pleasure) and actually agree when someone makes valid complaints about it? Also, I never disagreed with people defending the good points about the game - I'm playing it after…
  • Is that directed at me? If so, have you read my original comment? Because nowhere do I say that I hate or despise the game, I even said the contrary. I find the game terribly lacking and other things but, not unlike a person that likes a bad movie as a guilty pleasure, I still get fun and entertainment out of it. But if…
  • Calling an opinion stupid goes beyond disagreeing, it's condescending. Also, look at who made a fuss over an analogy and then tell me to settle down.
  • Oh, please keep going, it's not getting old yet. I'm sure you can come up with something better than that. *pats smoochan on the head* In the meantime, I'll be writing Kaizerin a thank you note for creating the forum ignore function. Toodles! I can't quote this 'For Truth' enough...
  • So? If the cap doesn't fit you, don't put it. Doesn't change the fact the some players act in that manner. Also for God's sake, it's a freakin' analogy, it's not ment to be taken literally. So, please, get off your high horse. Ah didn't remember what the currency converted to. I stand corrected. I still think it's…
  • I was explaining my use of 'stockholm syndrome' in a previous post to someone that asked about it, and that person isn't you. So get off my case? Thank you.
  • I seem to recall costume sets (which are currently the same price as the emote pack) to be 380 CP back in the days, not to mention the frequent 20-25% off sales they had back then which dropped the price even lower. $5 may not seem like that big of a deal of an increase but in the grand scheme of things, it is. Also, for a…
  • You're overthinking it.
  • Yeah, basically what I was saying was that CO players cling to the game like battered wifes cling to their abusive husband. Even though they are given little reasons to, they still love and defend them. The one tender loving smile they might get once in a while (the equivalent of the one whole new mission we get once per…
  • It's because you quoted is something *I* said. I have many admirers you see...
  • It's like you're reading one sentence and ignore everything else... You know, one fo my hobby outside of gaming is cosplaying. If you think making a great costume in CO is hard work, imagine doing the same in real life. I spent nearly 2 months building a Sith armor and then went on to show off at a convention. Also…
  • Still not getting the point I see... Even if the dealer is giving out money out of is own pocket and the goodness of his heart, what's the point of being there if he's only rewarding the same person over and over and over again. What exactly is the fun in being there playing at that table when you know full well you don't…
  • I could swear I've seen it happened even when standing much closer to the base. I'll have to test it out.
  • I know what you're saying, but it's still too often thrown around as a pretty dismissive rebuttal to anyone who might have something to say. I've hosted CCs and judged costumes (not all that many, granted, but still), I know it's not always easy, yet I can still have problems with other people's method of conducting a…
  • Well sorry if I don't jump in the absurd WoW hate band-wagon. I absolutely loved every single second I spent playing that game and many aspects of it I miss terribly (mainly organized groups and raids). It had a tremendous amount of lore, and since I had been playing since the first RTS game, it was a ton of fun seeing the…
  • I agree also. This ties to what I said already. You go to the casino for fun first and foremost. Losing is no big deal but winning is bonus fun. However, if the dealer purposely hands out all the aces to the guy sitting next to you, whether you are there for fun or to make some serious money, you'll get pissed pretty…
  • Of course, how could I have even hoped for something different than the classic de facto response of a person that has no real good argument... Keep digging yourself deeper into that hole.
  • This statement is wrong on so many level it's not even funny... CCs are only fun if you know you have equal chances as the next guy to win. As I have previsouly commented, losing to a great costume is okay; losing because winner is the judges best buddy isn't. Winning isn't everything in these event, sure, but the prospect…
  • Sure, you can't play a superhero in WoW, but can you really dismiss *everything else* solely based on that? Listen, I've been paying the monthly fee since release and I'm not about to stop either (because apparently I'm masochistic) but even then I can man up and admit that CO is a POS product compared to WoW and other…
