Of the Earth or Stone archetypes that have ranged or control powers (not looking at melee at the moment), which would you say is the best? And from that archetype, what would be the most effective complimentary power set? I created a pair of "earthbenders" some time back, ran them to 50 each, but I always found the results lacking. I'll not say which two setups, as I want to see un-influenced results, but I would like to try again with something more impactful.

Wondering if the OP wasn't sure because AE was pulled from Atlas Park to make way for the relocated Fort Trident. As @Darmian notes, it's still found in several other areas.

A good thing to point out. Those of us who've wanted to donate to the game but always miss the opportunity due to the rapid response, can still have an impact, and at our slower pace.

Costume or bone crest as well? The latter might be quite tricky.

Yeah, accordion makes sense that way. Ramen: I've personally taken to sub for "2 thumbs up" since there are 2 chopsticks up. (BTW, is this gluten-free ramen? It might be important to some.)

I've not noticed any drop in performance. Are you sure some neighbor's not hacking your cable? Actually, that's not a bad idea. I think I've read that not all the shards are on the same server. If that's accurate, you might test by moving a character to each of the other servers temporarily, and if the rubberbanding continues to happen on other servers, there's a stronger possibility that this issue is happening at your carrier's level rather than the game server. If, however, tests on other servers don't yield a result, then the problem may be something related to Excelsior's server. There's probably better tests, this is just a "poor man's" test.

Trike's referring to the fact that the particular statue's gaze is deliberate by the game designers. They placed an exploration badge marker on the fire escape specifically talking about the statue's intrusive gaze.

I feel the same way about Dick Van Dyke. Every time he pops up somewhere, unexpected or not, it's a gift to his fans. I hope the rumors are true, that he won't pass on until he's learned a proper Cockney accent.

Remembered another one and a documentary that's almost more like a movie. Both of these are life-affirming films. I had no idea what to expect with either, but ended up so taken with both that I told all my friends. Movie: This Beautiful Fantastic - a young, eccentric writer clashes with a curmudgeonly neighbor over the state of her back garden, to the point of creating a real threat to her stability. Yeah, the description is not much, but I didn't want to give away too much. Documentary: The Biggest Little Farm - a couple with no farm experience tackle a dead-earth small farm with the intent to transform it into an example of a farm in harmony with nature. The husband, who is a documentary producer films their first 10 years. The film runs the gamut of human experience and emotion: joy and sorrow, successes and failures, life and death. Bonus: really catchy, uplifting theme song.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB FOR.... (Psst...Lou, who do we have for on-call tonight?)

Was in Peregrine Island the other day when I realized another possible badge: number of snipers eliminated. Possibly a lower count, like say, 50, since there's only 1 or 2 in P.I. at a time, and many would be trying for the badge.

That would be Freak. Hmm... I don't see "jock" on this list...

Is it the same mechanism they used to change the theater posters? 'Cause those could use some cycling as well. And yeah @SnoBahr, I'm all for new billboards occasionally in-game. It would be nice to see an ad for the tiki beach area they added to Talos, for example.

Might work. I think I'm back from an errand in the next state over by then. Try seeing if we can get a full team.

I think you answered your own question. Just try being an ordinary citizen standing alone at a bus stop for 15-20 minutes in this city. (Actually, that might make an interesting mini-game. Play an ordinary citizen, see how long you last through a set of daily routine instructions: wait at the bus stop, walk to lunch, survive an attack in your office, etc.)

By that video's definition, I'm a geek, with traces of nerdism: IQ and obsession. Always have been. There are several sci-fi properties I've studied out pretty thoroughly. For decades, my friends referred to me in terms like "the trivia guy" because I just read and retained so much. The funny thing, though, is that I took a geek test several years ago (I think it was on website "Major Geek"?) and I only scored 38%. There's some truly serious geeks out there apparently. I'm also not a...I'd guess you'd call it a "pan-geek". I've met people who are obsessed with everything pop culture, and my mind just reels at the amount of time needed to get to that level. There are large chunks of such culture I have no interest in. Anime and manga, for example, although I was a fan of the early stuff brought to the State back in late 1970s: Robotech, Starblazers/Spaceship Yamato, etc. Curiously, my geekdom does not dramatically play out in CoH. I'd probably suggest I'm a well-informed casual player. But when I read people studying the finite details of a crafted set and how it works better for one specific controller over another, my eyeballs roll back and I risk falling asleep. It's probably the math involved. I scored reasonably well in math entering college, but other than geometry, I've never had an interest in it.

Apologies, you lost me. Are we talking billboards in-game, or something to do with the website, as this thread is about? Perhaps there's a terminology for the website/forums I've not picked up on?

Depending on the time/day, I might be up for it. I've got a couple of responsibilities to relatives that weekend, but nothing requiring my presence all the time.

I'm assuming the old link had more information than just the server/shard status since that is at the bottom of the HC Launcher?

And still you missed that spider. Depends on how well you play them.

My guess is that they're likely parked on some salt flat somewhere still waiting on the cars' computer chips. What's wrong with the 1970s? Cars, I mean. Let's not discuss the rest. My former 1979 Chrysler New Yorker drove like a dream. It was a great car if you overlooked the lack of more elegant aerodynamic designs and it's tendancy to drink gasoline like...uh...whatever drinks gasoline.

I'm still game for it, the challenge is that real life keeps making a consistent schedule for entertainment a challenge. Perhaps others have the same issue. If so, might we work something out like is done for Mastermind Mondays and Tanker Tuesdays? All-call instead of supergroup? That might help, even if it won't be alliterative. I did notice a slightly higher population gold-side this afternoon.
