Marine X

I still need the 2nd Debt badge so there is a silver lining even if I lose, lol.

When the game first started the Origins were more impactful because Matthew and Twinshot did not exist, neither did, Crafting or Invention Origin Enhancements. Dual Origin enhancements were available through stores in Certain Zones. You often had to do Missions for an Origin Appropriate Contact to be able to Purchase Single Origin Enhancements. The games power balancing was all based on Single Origin Enhancements. There was no Wentworth's ( Auction House ). You either followed the chain of Origin Specific Contacts or you wouldn't have the right enhancements to be competetive and that was no fun. Hamidon Origin enhancements in the late game were extremely sought after for their Multiple Boosts. With Crafting and the Auction system in place, it really kind of made Origin a bit meaningless except for Backstory and Roleplay.

You see this in Comics all the Time: Nightcrawler- ( Mutant ) son of Mystique ( Mutant ) and Azazel ( Demon ) Forge- ( Mutant ) Has the ability to Construct Technology and Intuitively Understand Tech. ( Tech? ). Spiderman- ( Science ) wall crawling and strength from Radioactive Spider Bite, ( Tech ) web slingers Powerhouse/Franklin Richards- ( Mutant ) hard to classify his powers ( Science ) His parents Mr Fantastic / Invisible Woman got their powers from Cosmic Rays. Captain Britain- ( Magic ) and they never explain how ( Mutant ) Psylocke is his sister. Cable- ( Mutant ) Son of Cyclops and Jean Grey ( Mutant ) but most of his abilities are tied to ( Tech ) and his metal body parts to a techno-organic virus ( Science? ) Beast- ( Mutant ) had his strength and dexterity but modified himself ( Science ) to become Blue and Furry so no one knew it was him, but it became permanent, oops. Hawkeye/Clint Barton- ( Natural ) as an Archer but then ( Science ) when he became Giant Man/Goliath. Northstar & Aurora- ( Mutant ) but it's later revealed they were Part Elven ( Magic ). Thanos- ( Natural ) from his Alien Parentage on Titan but ( Mutant ) because he had Inherited Genes from Deviants that gave him most of his Strength and Appearance. Scarlet Witch- ( Mutant ) for her Hex Power but ( Magic ) after Agatha Harkness trained her to use Magic to focus and Control her abilities.

As they added a whole section to document Titan Icon and Paragon Chat's ins and outs, they may choose to begin Chronicling Homecoming. It could be an Included reference to each of the Major Servers and what the differences between them are. Other than Market Crash and the Sentinal AT the majority of changes are fairly small. ParagonWiki is still valuable reference material and an Important tool for the Homecoming Community.

Strangely, I battled the Brickstown Blizzard Curse and Lost. I did each thing I was told to do, completely reloaded fresh twice, replaced the original file with the File you posted on the forums to correct the white map, Just finally gave up and moved on. Then Today I had a mission in Brickstown, and the Map was...........fixed????. Snowstorm Over. Perhaps the issue was external to VidiotsMaps, because after the last file I have done nothing, Have been there several times since and it was still white, Yet somehow it fixed itself. Could it be related to the 64 bit conversion? Just thought I would let you know.

Well, I successfully Soloed the Weekly Strike Target for last week on Sunday, Numina: Soul of the Woodsman. Took a little Help from my last Shivan Decimator to take down Jurassik. ( Back to Bloody Bay I suppose). This weeks Target is the Lady Grey Task Force. Has anyone ever Soloed this? Looks like Horsemen and the ending might be Problematic. Have not had any luck finding people on during my available hours on Reunion to do something as involved as TFs. Are there any TFs that are especially easy to Solo? Have done The Steel Signature Arc with Positron and found it to be pretty manageable.

Yes, it is floating in the sky above the Lake. At least it used to. I think it was added in one of the later issues.

The Witches Hat is I believe is unlocked by running the Katie Hannon TF and I thought it was available as part of a Costume Pack later on. The Halloween Event can never run long enough for me, between Trick or Treating *, Zombie Apocalypse Being almost Constant and the Mysterious Floating Island appearing with its Haunted House and Festive Pumpkins in Croatoa, it's has a lot of Variety and is a Blast. *Trick or Treat ( Click on any Inactive Mission Door anywhere and Receive Halloween Salvage, Halloween Temp Costume Powers ( with Badges Awarded based on how many Unique Costumes you have acquired) or Several Baddies Jump out and try to thump on you )

Play Marine almost every day, have Perma-Rage, and with all the Resist Damage Invulnerability Gives me I really don't notice it drop. My Set bonus's and Incarnates compensate to the point where I really don't have to stop and wait for anything. I suppose with more Defensively based sets it could be a problem. Personally I take what they give me and turn it into a steak dinner. Just glad to be back playing him and I've always tried to not be the squeaky wheel, so I just consider it a normal part of life to have to deal with changes and challenges

Hey, we were on a Couple PUGs not too long ago, Hello again. I am from Ohio, USA so am at GMT-5 daylight savings and play between 3:30am and 6:00am most weekdays before work and at a bit more flexible hours on the weekend if I don't get called out. My Reunion Super group is a DUD however: me, myself, I. 2 SG Mates from Live who hardly ever Play and, uh, ME. If you're super bored and willing to put up with me, my Global is @Marine X.

With my Incarnate Abilities developing Nicely I have suddenly realized something...........I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!!! I See...........Casab3263864...........will be banned from the forums.........really.......I SEE IT!

If you click reveal hidden contents you can view all the combos. He must have had space issues labeling all the columns.

Looks like I could be 24 of a Kind if I roll an Ice Armor / Katana Tanker, I'll have to see if I can name him, Cold Cuts, lol.

You might also see what you can do at a trainer, there is a set your badge title there, Sadly I always set my title from the badge menu, so I have no idea what is there, but worth a look.

I think there is a setting in the Menu under options, seems it might have been same place where you can customize your text color. Can't log in from work or I would check on it for you, but I think it's somewhere in that menu.

Started a Villain last week, Xeniram, ( Marine X backwards )Bio Armor/Titan Weopon Tank on Reunion. Instead of using Kalinda or Burke I did a " Find Contact " and started from an entirely new place for me, no snake hunts etc. Has actually been pretty cool so far, and already to 12, like this Defensive set and Titan going well. Have yet to see more than a handful of players and none were social. Trying to play him as not so Villainish but more just trying to survive in a very Lawless hostile place, missions are giving me Morality choices so I have been taking the high road when possible.

Overguard Armor with the Mecha Armor head in Blue and White would be a good starting point then tweak from there.

Ok.....from looking at the Paragon Wiki the only way to start Dilemma Diabolique is from the LFG Tab, so I have to form the group first, they join the Queue? Is the LFG Incarnate Trial Tab been just abandoned or does it just not work? What about the regular LFG? Played from Issue 1 thru Sunset and always did my own for Task Forces and Trials but the Instructions from Dream Doctors mission were pretty specific, Is that just not how it's done here. I live in Ohio and play on Reunion ( Halcyon Originally ) and tend to play before work, 4:00am to 6:00am weekdays, and here and there on weekends. Anyone around to join up sometime, not having much luck in game finding teammates.

I must need a shower or have bad breath because I just can't seem to ever find a way to do the Incarnate Trials. Have sat in the Queue for hours and nothing. Is there a better way to do this? Getting a little discouraged, Had a 3 day weekend with 1 goal, do the Dilemma Diabolique Trial, and now the weekend is almost over and NADA. I figured if I was available more, even on Reunion, I could get this done.

I think it used to last longer. I played this Arc on the Original Marine X, which he would have been in the level range of this in late 2004 at the latest, and I remember it was really a grind to do. Paragon Wiki has it that Dr Anne-Marie Engles introduces you to Jim Tembler in Faultline which would have taken place after the Faultline Redo in Issue 8. I think Mansome is correct, they Nerfed it at some point because It was Quite a Pain In the AXS, I think there were a couple large street hunts you had to do while Infected and it was the Only time I ever died a bunch. On the subject of things that got changed....I remember doing missions with my brother, Delphon, and wondering why it was always such a tough fight when we did his missions, nothing but Purples and Reds everywhere. Then one day someone explained to me that if you change " How people in the City view you" at the Hero Corps Field Analyst to, oh say, " INVINCIBLE ", it MAXES the difficulty of your Missions. No SXXT! um....Del...................we need to have a talk.............. The new system is a lot more self explanatory, to say the least.

Crap, I was looking forward to the suffering, only time I ever recall a debuff lasting even when out of the Missions. I could barely survive street hunting till I cleared that Arc. Oh well, Guess it's time to roll that Petless Mastermind.

Does anyone recall this mission Arc and who the contact is to get it. I remember going through this on Live and actively avoiding running the arc ever again, but now in my older, more Sadist days wouldn't mind doing it again. It wasn't just the "swarm of flies" buzzing around me constantly but the almost complete lack of endurance and health recovery that drove me nuts, like going to work with the flu. Mission after Mission gimping along, sounds like fun, lol.

I think we have already seen the beginnings of this. It is almost a daily thing where I see questions being posted by people who had never played on Live and are enjoying COH for the first time. Ran into 2 people in Game that I met when on Paragon Chat ( thank you Codewalker ) that had never played the game, but loved using PC for role play and were now in Awe of the game. I really think that word of mouth and the gaming community are already creating a bit of passive advertising otherwise it would only be Veterans here for the most part. Most of the comments from these new players is how much they are loving the game and community. We saw a huge surge in players at the beginning, then it slowed a bit, now it is building back up, albeit much more slowly. I think time will tell, but I foresee it getting back closer to peak population over time. Plus I think a lot of that initial surge was a lot of Multi-boxing and Power leveling by those that didn't realize that a lot of the best parts of the game are not at the end.

There is this thing you can pull up called Game time but it is not in a convention time keeping format. I'll check it against regular time and post it later.

Not a Skilled AE Mission Crafter, but was wondering if Anyone had ever created a Mission Arc to Cover the 7Year Gap in COH Lore. It could be something say where The Freedom Phallanx were in Cimerora or Ouroborus for a Meeting when Rularu broke free of the Shadow Shard and consumed the Universe. This left them and whatever Heroes or Villains were there to put things right, somehow. It could be done as a Contest with the winner getting his or her Mission assigned to a NPC to dispense outside AE ( if that is Possible ). If we are here for the long haul it would be great to be able to add content through the AE system and the truly outstanding ones that fit with existing Lore could become permanent content. Just a thought, I know I had on Live Played through some Outstanding Player Created content, and believe some of it could clearly be integrated into the Game. Any thoughts?
