Ironblade

Also, if I'm recalling correctly, the 30 Years War lasted 24 years.

I remember the good old days - after the simultaneous clicking was removed but before you were required to defeat the AV. We would run this repeatedly when it was the weekly to get the three assist badges. The fastest run I was on was 88 seconds. You can still blast through it really fast, particularly if you have Grant Invisibility and someone with Assemble The Team.

Just got this badge the other day. 1. Everyone helps clear the mobs by the crystals before going to Lord Winter. 2. We had 3 high DPS characters (2 blasters and 1 corr, I think) patrol the crystals non-stop. 3. Everyone else on Lord Winter. 4. When a Guardian spawned, everyone leaves Lord Winter and hits the Guardian except the 3 patrollers. 5. Profit.

Yep. Missed a month so donated extra.

depreciate - to diminish in value over a period of time (like a car) deprecate - to disparage or belittle - BUT - in an IT/computer context, it means to phase out or discontinue support So, yeah, Tequila is being deprecated and will no longer be supported as of the next update.

Can confirm the one on the roof of Pocket D. I've been out there to see it.

Yep. This can be useful.

Like many other games, CoH has a 'team finder' system (click on LFG above the chat window). What's different here is that no one uses it to join teams. Everyone just uses server-wide channels like 'Looking for Group' (LFG) or global (cross server) channels. For things that happen in a specific zone, sometimes they just use Broadcast in that zone. The LFG tab is often used as a quick teleporter to the contact for a specific task force or trial, but that's pretty much it for that system.

Snarky, before and after the badge attempt.

Ironblade was my first character. I read the game manual while I was downloading the game (I believe I had DSL at the time), back around Issue 4. I read the AT and power descriptions and figured regen would be an easy set to use while learning the game and broadsword gave him a D&D feel. (He was an archaeologist who discovered a magical helmet.) When Homecoming came along, I remade Ironblade first and I now have Ironblade on every shard. He's level 50 on all except Victory so far. I've only ever redone one character. Unarmed Wombat was a claws/SR scrapper around level 25 until someone commented that he wasn't really 'unarmed'. I deleted him and rerolled as martial arts/SR.

I always wondered about that. Maybe it's comparing your IP address against a blacklist of known bot farms?

That's a nonsensical argument. Surely you can grasp that plenty of people devote time and effort to 'organizing things' by doing tasks that others perceive as a waste of time. If someone chooses to perform a task AND derives satisfaction from it, for you to argue that they're harming themself is rather rude and insulting.

A few. Some content is only accessible to characters in the correct level range. Therefore, I have a stalker at level 4 with XP turned off. And one at 9. And at 14, 19, 24, 29, 34, 39, 44, 49. Sometimes you just need someone with kinetics for something like the skiing badges so I have Glowing Kin ( the name Pocket Kin was taken) on my 2nd account. And sometimes you need to move a lot of stuff between characters or servers, so I have Mule Train. Oh, and you know the Manny Gas station floating in the void outside Pocket D? I have 'Manny the Gas Man' who lives out there just so I could do a funny screenshot.

City officials smart, not hire dumb trolls.

"Making all IOs slotted +5" I consider that a massive waste. I already have most of the important effects slotted into diminishing returns territory. Upgrade to +5 is useful when you one have one or two slots to spare for a power or where three would be wasteful. A perfect example is Hasten. You don't need three slots there when you can just have two level 50 IO's upgraded to +5. "Attuning all IOs slotted" I don't bother. Too much extra work. "Adding Hamidon enhancements" Where it makes sense, absolutely. An HO gives a big improvement over a single IO set piece. Some powers beg for HO's. For example, on my invuln tanks, I will put two Cytoskeletons (+def, +to hit, end reduction) in Invincibility along with a couple defense IO's to get to ED level on the defense. The Cytoskeletons are also a top pick for Fortitude in the Empathy et. In Parry, I'll put four pcs of Luck of the Gambler, and then two Nucleolus (accuracy, damage) to ensure I hit and do reasonable damage. "Adding all purple enhancements" Definitely, with the footnote that I don't add them later. I design a build while the character is low level and decide what purples to use. In those powers, I just use SO's until I hit 50 and can slot the purples. A lot of people respec at 50 into their "final build". I design the final build early on and work toward it. Respeccing is such a pain.
