    I don't have WinRAR on this computer, so it doesn't work for me.
    Doesn't really matter, either, since I can download it through PlayNC. I just need $15.

    You have no program on your PC that can open a .zip file? Because it's a .zip file and nor a .rar.

    Heh, just messing around man, wanted to see if you're still on. Yeah I'm planning on coming back to the game later this week. I won't be on all the time but I'd like to pick it back up now that I have some time on my hands.

    I'm in now as well, though I didn't have much time to play around with this today before I had to head in to work.

    I've got to do some research to study the archetypes a bit more before I decide on a permanent character, but so far it looks promising.

    I've been going through some of the character guides on the official forums, and I think that was a mistake.

    Most of those posts are so heavy on acronyms, it's like trying to understand a foreign language. ;)

    For those of you who've been playing this for some time, what archetype/powers/etc would you recommend as a "good start" for a new player learning the game who's likely to be solo much of the time due to odd playing times? ;)

    Scrapper for heroside, I don't have much experience with villains.
    Scrappers have the damage output and survivability to solo pretty much all the way to 50. Tanks can also solo decently, but slower than a scrapper will.

    Pretty much all of the scrapper powersets are good, though some play pretty differently from others. I'd suggest trying a couple different combinations to see what suits you best.

    */Super Reflex might take a bit of work (it's a tad endurance heavy) but is still soloable.

    Yeah, so I took Victorious to the test server to give Orouboros a spin.

    Only to discover I have done almost every story arc available to the character.

    I had no idea I had done so much with him.

    Then again, he was my first CoV character that I made when it came out.

    He's still only level 32

    you might have to have the contacts unlocked before you have access to them in a flashback (like TV or Slot Machine).

    I'll be coming back when I11 hits as well. I have my eyes on a very specific mace build and look that I can't wait to try out.

    I kind of wish there were more options for axes but oh well.

    Level 1 characters get access to most of the weapon choices right? This is important.

    EDIT: Just checked PU. Perfect. Exactly what I need from the word go.

    EDIT EDIT: Oh my god and the new hairstyle are completely fucking perfect. I am so coming back, I11 just needs to go live.

    Unless they change it before release, my Stalker will be pounding out level 50 off of double xp mission arcs.

    I want that particular grind to be over and done with so I can concentrate on other villains.

    This issue fixes about 85% of the issues I ever had with CoX. More hair options (including guy options that aren't RETARDED), weapon customization, the chance to be a suave swashbuckler hero, the chance to go back and do stuff you might have missed and get proper credit for it.

    About the only worries I have is that a lot of the archvillain fights still won't be as tightly designed as the ones in, say, WoW, but it looks like I10 and I11 have been dealing with that heavily. Unfortuntately that won't trickle down to the legacy content. Also CoV still has performance issues. And the character creator still has one flaw: eye color is linked to your facial choice still. This has been an issue with a few of my characters. (The faces in general are a bit dated at this point but that's a tech issue now.)

    However, there's been so much improvement in the past few issues that it's basically impossible to not at least check it out now. I still need to wait till I11 (partially because I need to make a little room on my credit card), but I'm very interested.

    Well, when you complete a mission that's in your level range in the Ouroborous Flashback stuff, you get double the mission complete exp and inf.

    Well, yeah there is. Flashback doesn't let you do every mission, and you still have to manually unlock some of the contacts to get access to them in Flashback.

    Err... yeah you do. If you select the mission level bracket that you're in.

    If you're level 40 and choose a contact from the 40-45 level range, you'll get xp from the mission. Any lower than that and you'll get the extra inf you would if you were exemplaring down to someone.

    Basically, once you hit 25, you can use Flashback to go back and do any story arc, task force or badge related mission, and it will exemp you to its max level (most stuff is on a 5 level range, like 20-25). You can also set limitations on yourself, like no temp powers, and there's some extra badges for stuff like that.

    Some missions give temp powers, so having a constant supply of Warwolf Whistles will be nice. Though last I heard they were nerfing those to "Echoes" rather than the full powered normal versions.

    So, looks like we'll be getting a rather substantial Prestige boost as part of the NC ownership thing.
    Something to the tune of 20,000 per super group member.Also, debt wipe.

    I'm curious as to what, if anything, our intrepid base architects where planning on doing with the free money?
