Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I can't recall a concrete example of it due to it having been so long ago, but I'd be surprised if an Ill/Rad couldn't solo a GM before i6, what with multiple sets of PA and Phantasms out.
And I don't think anyone was pre-IOs, without the recharge it becomes difficult for them to tank it during the PA downtime. Might have been though can't really say for sure.
I really fucking dug playing it.
I didn't immediately look for Narbus or Scott to get me to the 30s. Everyone was so giddy with their bad puns that we all just decided to constantly team with each other because it was so much fun to see all of those cones and aoes going off. I actually managed to outlevel the Shining Stars Arc, and was depressed for about 5 minutes before yet another All Staff Team formed up and it got me to DOs. Then I literally spent the last 5 hours going through the Faultline Arc. Mainly because, believe it or not, there were people IN FAULTLINE. So once again Team Staff bogaloo'd our way through anything the game could throw at us.
For a set that apparently is Sub-OP, doesn't do nearly enough damage blahblahblah, It's a set that's about as fucking versatile as Peanut Butter.
Shit just goes with everything.
I leveled a character pretty much the way you describe, but spent way more of it solo.
Soloing stuff as a blaster builds character.
No chance that Valk/Battle Maiden is going to get a redesign to use the staff set with her spear, is there?
And I read somewhere that there was a Preatorian Blue Steel back in the day (when Preatorians were just mirror universe villains) called Black Iron, but he was "killed by Cole for being too weak" (Shield defense/melee took too long to get working is my guess). Any truth to that?
There's a couple of things not covered in the notes that I found over in the CoH thread at SA coming from someone who may be a dev that posts there.
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
I was there today, and part of going was a bag of small goodies. This included a Collectors DVD edition game code. I already have this.
So who wants it? It comes with the following:
Prestige Power Slide
VIP Badge on all characters (or Destined One for Villains)
DVD edition cape, sort of translucent thing
First person to post that they want it will get the code PM'd to them whenever the hell I wake up tomorrow. Night!
also yay pummit. but...stuff I knew because leaks. Whoops.
We have a winner!
And yeah they teased the hell out of Zwill over that.
Dunno, I just know that's what VIP shows up as for villains.
Yep, that's the one. Also had the PVP comic thing and the Paragon City map. I've been to both player summits now and they have given stuff like that at both. Old bonuses they had extras of. Shirts, badge holders, costume power codes from old Hero-cons, etc...
Oh, that was fast. They showed that in a slide at the summit but I didn't realize they meant this soon.
Looks like its 700 points. I might save up for that. I don't even group that much and it'd be nice to have a perma-missionport every 30 min.

and they don't sweat you when you came around
What happens if like 5-10 people all use it at once in the same spot? Like, right next to a quest giver or the Black Market/AH npc?
This is what I'm referring to.

15 people, all standing next to the Auction NPC, head off to their next mission. Leaving 15 aircraft there for a full minute. Now the AH is hard to target and, if they have collision, impossible to approach. As soon as they start to clear up, the cycle starts again.
And this isn't even taking into account people using this to grief other players in the same way, once they realize they can.
if it were me I'd probably just move over to a different marketeer npc, or take 30s and go to a different zone's market

Anyway, it doesn't summon a "clickable" craft that everyone on the team has to hit, hop in, then it runs off. It works exactly like team teleport, where the most you get is a 10 second prompt asking if you want to take the thing to a mission. It shows up, the 'hop in' animation plays for everyone who had clicked yes, and then it's off to the mission door. The "hop out" animation plays and blammo. Away it goes.
Also the new Anniversary event is live. It's a reskin of the rikti/zombie invasions but with Nemesis because even though those are boring and stupid apparently they can be shit out really easy so fuck yeah low hanging fruit.
Get enough people together and a Nemesis AV spawns. Kill it and the the "A Nemesis Plot..." badge.
Yeah I think they are still getting used to doing things like this. I almost feel like the game is on life support, if that makes sense. They seem just as shocked as anyone that their new business model is working, and now they have to learn to adjust to the new schedule.
I also suspect they aren't yet making quite enough money to develop large amounts of new content. I am happy it's working for them however.
this post is full of a lot of shit
like seriously
have you not paid a single bit of attention for the past three issues, man
jesus christ
I have absolutely no idea what you think life support looks like but this is not it. I'm not entirely thrilled with some of the stuff they've released and some of the choices they've made but there is no way to say they're not producing at a much, much faster clip than ever before they went free to play.
If you want to see a game on life support, check out Champions Online. They have plenty of players but, well, there's an awful lot of stagnation going on. Perfect World has managed to mire the game in (what I like to call) The Great Cash Shop Hellcycle.*

2. This leaves the dev team unable to create actual new content in any reasonable time frame, so players can only use their new shinies in the same tired zones and missions.
3. They get bored and stop playing/spending, which makes PW scream at Cryptic to poop out more cash shop stuff to prop up their numbers. Go to Step 1, do not pass Go, do not collect a $200 lifetime sub fee.
CoH doesn't have this problem because it has tons of content for freebies to begin with (due to surviving on subs for a long time) while simultaneously maintaining enough of a subscriber base to support a constant stream of new content. CO's problems stem from the game being released in a turd-like state, so they had to spend their time making the game work properly instead of making new content.
"Well, it could be worse."
Totally right.
Waiting in line for a spot to wait for Ferd to respawn was just mind-boggling. I mean, who thinks world spawns for quest completion were a good idea? In 2009? While there were plenty of other problems and the game was released early, it was bad design that really killed CO.

do they even do anything?
dude, join the PA global channel, and you're part of the community
this isn't like other MMOs where it's join the guild or go fuck yourself
supergroups serve no real purpose
minirhyder, look me up any time and I'll team with you redside. I have more globals than are in my sig but I'm always on at least one of those.
Oddly, I'm always rather annoyed when I realize I haven't tagged a character into the Dawn, Twilight, or Midnight, because then I have to walk all the way over to someplace else, and I don't have access to the enhancement/salvage bins.
giving you bonus access to the main PA supergroup base, which is pretty much the only reason to join a Supergroup these days.
Had some good times running as Princess of Guardia, a completely original Ice/TA troller and in no way inspired by Marle from Chrono Trigger.
