Marine X

The Hulk corner of the MCU will have a chance at redemption in the near future. She-Hulk is in development, which if they stick to the origin will give Mark Ruffalo another appearance as Professor Hulk, which would be excellent. Not sure if they plan on regularly breaking the Fourth Wall as the comic did ( ala Deadpool ), but I hope they keep the Humor, that was a great book. Still have the first dozen or so issues of that one hidden away.

Map server issues are usually tied to the Internet Connection, and pathway to the servers. One built in advantage Homecoming has for troubleshooting in the Servers, If you want to see if it's a Internet Path issue, create a character on Reunion which is in Germany, while all other servers are in Montreal. There is been a defined issue if you Internet path goes through Detroit to get to the Servers. Read through this for some additional Ideas on where to look.

I would recheck the badges required for the Accolade against the badges you have, I'm inclined to think there is an additional badge you are missing.

I've been known to totally give up on a new character if I can't get a good name. I also prefer single word names over multiple word, unless it's a first/middle/last name. Marine X is my old and new main, and I have both @Marine X & @Marine X2. Some of the ones I was pleased to get: Radient - Thermal/Radiation Defender A.C. Volt - Electric/Electric Tank Livingston - Stone/Fire Tank Bubba Burns ( Beau Buford Burns ), Sonny Burns ( Enos Samuel Burns Jr, ) (Twin Brothers) - Fire/Radiation Brutes Goldfever - Illusion/Kinetic Controller Major Meson - Radiation/Radiation Tank Soulstice - Ice/Fire Tank Warhorse - Shield/Mace Tank Thunderess - Storm/Electric Defender ( Made for my Wife ) Grimmwolf - Bio-Armor/Savage Melee Tank Polar Pyro - Ice/Fire Tank Amethyst Anne - Earth/Kinetic Controller ( Made for my Wife ) Cold Cuts - Ice/Dual Blades Tank Hawkstar - Fire/Fire Sentinal Crimson Cage - Peacebringer and many more.... Always thinking of new ones....

If I enter the park I built on top of the base the individual Grass Sections flicker spastically as I move across the area, if I stand still it stops. Also is there a way to install stairs to the above base area? I have the TP beacons and Wormholes set but would like the physical stairs for effect. I can't seem to figure out how to get thru the ceiling.

You can drown your sorrows in a Giant Basket of Sweet Potato Fries, they are not a Nightshade, are becoming readily available frozen, and are quite a good substitute. Now where did I put that side of beef, mmmmmm.

Perhaps, but 28 Days of Inebriary might end up requiring Rehabtember to replace January.

Energy Melee kinda got NERFED on Live and has never really been fixed to where it is a top choice. But Invincibility is a top pick, and a Tank's Offensive abilities are not the biggest deal as long as the defensive/resistance abilities are good. I had a Willpower/EM Tank on Live that was really fun to play, just required some creative slotting. The other 2 combos seem reasonable enough, and I've seen them used effectively before.

My Arch Enemies on Live early on were "Major Lag" and "the Map Server". Both Ruthless and Heartless Villains out to destroy my world. Later on it became "Giant Buckhorn" and "Green Green Grass", they were relentless, and sometimes included "Leaky Pipes" and "Fresh Paint" in their Schemes. Since, Homecoming, the Inevitable and Invincible "Time" has become my only True Nemesis, constantly thwarting my best laid plans.

My biggest Pet Peeve is when our old Cat Sasha coughs up a Hairball she projectile poops in the opposite direction. I am not making this up...

Personally, I think the accuracy of the Roman Calendar is a little WONKY ( Get ready for all the Italians to LOSE THEIR MINDS ). When I was young there was always snow at the last couple football games of the high school season, which ended the beginning of November. It also virtually never snowed in May, let alone June. I think the calendar is off and it needs replaced by Marine's Calendar. Months = 12 Days per Month = 30 ( 360 days to gradually back us slowly up to where the seasons match the date ) New Years Eve becomes it's own Month, "Inebriary" ( 1 Day ) Days per Week = 7 Work Days per Week = 3 Monday becomes Sunday 2 - (Son of Sunday: The Relaxation Continues...) Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday - Work Days ( ugh... ) Friday becomes Saturday Lite - ( Great Taste, Less Filling ) Saturday is Perfect just the way it is. Sunday gets a little do-over as to Bar Hours. ( From Dusk till Dawn, from Sea to shining...nevermind ) February finally gets to join the Month "big leagues", and those day hogs ( Jan, Mar, July, Aug, Oct and Dec, you know who you are ), Get whittled down to size.

If it's not too much trouble, please go to your previous thread and edit the title to include " Fixed or Solved " and a brief description of what you found to correct the issue, It really helps when people are struggling to have these resources available and easy to spot when looking thru a hundred pages of forums.

I think at Veteran Level 100 you should suddenly revert to level 1 and have all your powers disappear except brawl and your Incarnate abilities. Then you have to slowly re-earn them 1 at a time only by hunting down Contaiminated in Atlas Park or defeating Jack in Irons Solo, Then stealing and selling his Loincloth at Wentworth's for Leveling tokens.

The way it is now is fine and how it was intended to be, and gives going there a little sense of danger, which is cool. If you want the badges in a PVP Zone, there are risks. Check! If you want to run content in a PVP Zone, there are risks. Check! If you want the badges in the Hive, there are 50' tall risks. Check! If you want Temp Powers from a PVP Zone, there are Huge risks. Check!* *( Even more so with this one, Bloody Bay and Warburg are the only instances of Looting of Salvage that exists in the game, that I know of anyway )

N E R F E D !

Welcome Home: If you are ever on Reunion or Everlasting and need a hand early AM weekdays, look me up @Marine X.

Wow...... Don't even know what to say to that. A person can prefer to Solo or Team, and are still Part of the same Community that has members who believe it is their place to tell them they are not welcome. I thought we were above this Elitist garbage. "Everyone can play how they like" has always been a Motto of this game, and is part of what makes it special. I solo a lot, not by choice, I play early in the morning when few people are available, but if I'm not welcome here, and should not be bothering to play, you'll be sure to let me know, right? Typical MMO culture does not apply to CoH, never has.

Also an easy Experiment that might help isolate what is causing the lag is to create a Character on Reunion. It is a totally separate server, rather than a shard, and the connection to it follows a totally different Internet Pathway through ISPs than reaching the other shards in Montreal. If this works properly you may be able to set up a VPN to avoid the default route to Montreal. Strange as it sounds, a lot of people have had issues if their Web Path goes through the Detroit Area ISPs. The Following article covers this subject:

Found this on the Paragon Wiki; To calculate the total enhancement value use the following method: Add up the values of all enhancements in the power plus the portion of the Alpha Enhancement that is affected by ED. Apply ED to this value. Add the portion of the Alpha Enhancement that is not affected by ED for the total enhancement value. Examples Example 1: A character's power slotted with three Recharge Single-Origin Enhancements will have 99.9% increased attack rate pre-ED which becomes approximately 94.9% once ED is applied without the Alpha Slot. Slotting a common Spiritual Alpha Slot ability (33% increased attack rate) ignores ED for 1⁄6 of its effects but ED is still applied to the remaining 5⁄6. The power therefore has a total ED affected enhancement value of 99.9% + 5⁄6 * 33% = 127.4% which after ED is approximately 99.1%. The remaining 1⁄6 of the Alpha Slot's enhancement is added to this giving a final enhancement value of 99.1% + 1⁄6 * 33% = 104.6% Slotting a very rare Spiritual Alpha Slot ability (45% attack rate, stun, and healing) ignores ED for 2⁄3 of its effects but ED is still applied to the remaining 1⁄3. The power therefore has a total ED affected enhancement value of 99.9% + 1⁄3 * 45% = 114.9% which after ED is approximately 97.2%. The remaining 2⁄3 of the Alpha Slot's enhancement is added to this giving a final enhancement value of 97.2% + 2⁄3 * 45% = 127.2% Example 2: A character's power slotted with 2 Recharge Single-Origin Enhancements will have 66.6% increased attack rate which since it is less than 70% is not affected by ED so remains at 66.6%. Slotting a common Spiritual Alpha Slot ability (33% increased attack rate) ignores ED for 1⁄6 of its effects but ED is still applied to the remaining 5⁄6. The power therefore has a total ED affected enhancement value of 66.6% + 5⁄6 * 33% = 94.1% which, since it is greater than 70% is affected by ED resulting in approximately 90.9% post-ED. The remaining 1⁄6 of the Alpha Slot's enhancement is added to this giving a final enhancement value of 90.9% + 1⁄6 * 33% = 96.4% Slotting a very rare Spiritual Alpha Slot ability (45% attack rate, stun, and healing) ignores ED for 2⁄3 of its effects but ED is still applied to the remaining 1⁄3. The power therefore has a total ED affected enhancement value of 66.6% + 1⁄3 * 45% = 81.6% which, since it is greater than 70% is affected by ED resulting in approximately 80.4% post-ED. The remaining 2⁄3 of the Alpha Slot's enhancement is added to this giving a final enhancement value of 80.4% + 2⁄3 * 45% = 110.4% Hope this is helpful...

The Premier Shopping Experience in Paragon City was the White Plains Mall and Expo Center at Coordinates 2949.6, -18.5, -5637.6. There was a misunderstanding regarding Long Term Parking Permissions that has been interfering with it's operation for some time. The Paragon City School District's Eastgate Campus was the Primary Educational Source for children K-12. It was located at Coordinates -749,-539, -1647, right next to the Paragon Airport.

Just thinking after doing some re-watching recently on HULU how well the SGI, Atlantis and Universe hold up. Only notable flaw is the aspect ratio of SG1 on a Modern Flatscreen. But what could be done to rebuild this Wealth of Lore, a Lot. I actually believe the future lies more in Tying up old loose ends, creating new ones and building from the existing Mythology. Not making it sexier, fresher, more Millennial. Missing Closure: The Tollan: Last heard from as Tannith was Obliterating their Cities and fleeing Ships from Orbit after they backed away from Selling out Earth. Ships? They had Ships? Really? All we ever saw was a really grey City, a Homemade Stargate, people who could Phase through walls, and a bunch of now ineffective Big Honking Space Guns. When did they get Ships? and Why? They had no need for ships with their ability to build Stargates... Unless they were establishing new colonies or mining sites on other Planets. They may have already had other "one destination Gates" for the Transportation of Resources. Either way, if they had Ships, and it wasn't Thanksgiving so everyone was on Tollana preparing for a Tryptophan Overdose, the Tollan still exist, probably in significant numbers. I want to see what a Tollan Ship can do. Gimmee. The Goa'uld / Jaffa I know, I know, done to death. But as the Tokra always said, The System Lords were the Issue. They enslaved Millions, and even with the System Lords gone there were still many Goa'uld roaming the galaxy, Overdressing for every occasion and Making Grandiose Schemes to acquire power and influence. They just can't help but want to empire build. it justifies the wardrobe. The Jaffa on the other hand went from being thugs, to freedom fighters, and probably back to being Thugs. It was the only life they ever knew, and for some of them, It was tied to their life goals. They at the end they had already embraced the Ori, and showed that they too craved power to some extent. Not a surprise that the Lucian Alliance was flying around in Goa'uld Motherships, they were probably a lot a Jaffa and former Goa'uld Slaves in their ranks. The Tok'ra Although Devastated from multiple attacks on their home planets, at the beginning of "Continuum" there was a new Tok'ra Homeworld. With lots of Chanting. And Ba'als, lots of Ba'als. Enough Ba'als to have figured out how to successfully Clone Egeria, their Queen, with all of her Memories and build a Peaceful and Benevolent Society, with Ba'als. ( Sorry, just couldn't not go there) Atlantis Hey, hey there...Still floating around in the wrong ocean, they could have at least parked the damn Cityship off the right coast. The Red Zone is for the unloading of Passengers only, any... The Blue Zone is for... The Red Zone....nevermind. Anyway, this needs some closure to say the least, the Pegasis Galaxy still has a small Wraith Problem we made worse and now we're on holiday, for good? huh. Universe Crew-cicles, a bunch of Crew-cicles, so sad. The comic took care of resolving this but is not cannon as far as I can tell. Freezer burn is a bitch. To be Continued.....? Ok, time to go make some Creamy Deviled Eggs and prep some Garlic / Parmesan Chicken wings ( 3 lbs ) for our family cookout, I will be in a Barbeque Stupor by about 4 pm today so I need to put away all sharp objects and check the house for trip hazards. Later.

Bored at work today, we must be the only people open in the known Universe. So I decided to play with my Calculator and this mornings server statistics. Hopefully it will be useful and Informative, or at least a mental exercise. ( This Data is from about 9:00 EST this morning, I will try to redo this later during closer to peak hours.) Most Heroes by % goes to Excelsior @ 79.3%, followed closely by Torchbearer. Most Villains by % goes to Indomitable @ 16.8%, followed closely by Reunion. Most Praetorians by % goes to Reunion @ 13.8%, followed closely by Indomitable. Most Mission Maps compared to population goes to Indomitable @ 89.4% by a wide margin of almost 11%. Least Mission Maps compared to population goes to Excelsior @ 64.4%, by more than 8% ( Formula Used: Player Group/Map divided by Total Population X 100 =% Shard Name Online Players Heroes Villains Praetorians Map Instances Torchbearer 178 139 (78.1%) 22 (12.4%) 17 (9.6%) 139 (78.1%) Excelsior 334 265 (79.3%) 32 (9.6%) 37 (11.0%) 215 (64.4%) Indomitable 113 79 (69.9%) 19 (16.8%) 15 (13.2%) 101 (89.4%) Everlasting 201 151 (75.1%) 27 (13.4%) 23 (11.4%) 146 (72.6%) Reunion 174 122 (70.1%) 28 (16.1%) 24 (13.8%) 135 (77.6%) Total 1000 756 (75.6%) 128 (12.8%) 116 (11.6%) 736 (73.6%)

Odd that a Data Center issue is affecting all Shards considering Reunion is on a different Continent.

Excellent, I love unique bugs, that's a keeper.
