Congratz Agile Falcon is 50!

One of my husband's many alts, Agile Falcon (MA/SR Scrapper), has finally reached 50. This is been an awesome ride to get this character leveled. I'm glad I was there to see the finish. I have teamed with his scrapper many times in the past only to pass him and get my heroes to 50. It was good to see one of his heroes finally get there at last. He wasted no time creating a Peacebringer named Bright Hawk. Since he has so many alts, I'm looking forward to the next one he chooses to level. My best guess would be his tank Lyta Hammersong will be the next one to 50.

BTW, I want give a special thanks to Azrhiaz and Chaud Woman posting to my little blog. It's nice to know that someone is reading it!! LOL Thanks guys. You two are so awesome. Also, the three of us and Millie Volt kicked ass on that Positron TF!! WOOT!

Double XP weekend was a blast. I got to team with some heroes I haven't seen in a while. Also we are well on our way to earning 1 million prestige. I'm thinking we should be able to upgrade the base in a couple of months. Thanks to all of you for helping us reach this goal.

New Update on Live 1/25/07

It's the day before Double XP weekend starts and we have recieved a new update on the live servers. The best news with this update is the rent overhaul. As I posted previously when it was being tested on the Test Server, the rent will now be charged by the plot size. Since we have the smallest plot, our rent is free. This is pretty good for us since this will help us save up for the next plot size. We are about half way to reaching our goal so we are well on our way. Also I read the Faultline beacon has been fixed so I will be placing one in the teleporter room. It will most likely replace the Kings Row beacon. There are numerous other changes/fixes also, you can read them all here.

And don't forget Double XP weekend starts January 26-28!!

Woot! Double XP Weekend Jan 26-28

Time to level your heroes/villains! Another double xp weekend has been scheduled for January 26-28. There had been much debate on the forums as to when this would happen. I'm happy to say that it came about much sooner than expected. Here's the information from the city of heroes site. Hope everyone can take advantage of this opportunity and get their characters leveled. Some of you are close to 50 so this would definitely be an ideal time to reach that goal.

Positron TF, Base Upgrade, & New Patch on Test

I love doing taskforces especially with a good group. My main concern is getting through it and having fun along the way. I'm hoping we can attempt Positron as soon as everyone is able and available. I had read on the forums there may this taskforce may get an overhaul. It was originally suppose to be a two parts. The idea was scrapped because they couldn't get the programming code to recognize whether a character had completed the first part. So they rolled it all into one. This is why Positron is so long. My last attempt didn't fair so well and we didn't finish. I don't like anything getting the better of me, so I still want to give it a try. I have a Warshade at level 8 so I'm not to far off. I've also got another toon who hasn't completed any taskforces so I could use it instead. I know everyone has a busy schedule but just let know know when we want to tackle it. I think the team still needs to be small. I'm thinking no larger than 5 or maybe 6.

We are well on our way to earning enough prestige to upgrade the base plot. I'm not trying to add any more items until we get the new space. I want to place my veteran reward items ( & allow the sg members also) as well as more decorative items. But if it's added now, our rent will go up. A new patch is on test right now with the new rent rates. We are now only getting charged rent by the size of the plot. This is really great because we have the smallest plot & it's rent free!! The next plot size I want to upgrade to has a rent price of 20,000. This i still a very good bargain.

Speaking of the new patch on test, the double xp is now active for the weekend. If you want to read more about it, it's listed here. It's a long post with alot of changes. Hopefully this will be live soon. I'm really glad the rent issue is resolved. Looks like they tried fixing some of the bugs so I see this patch as step towards the right direction.

Bringing in 2007!

I want to say Happy New Year to all my fellow COX players. Last year was a memorable one. I'm really looking forward to 2007. I'm hoping to play alot more. I have so many toons to get to 50 but it's the journey which makes the game so fun to play.

Well just when you thought Snaptooth had ended his reign of terror, we get another chance to beat him down. Looks like the Winter Event will be back starting Jan 8 - Jan 15. Although I milked Snaptooth for all the badges & temporary items he had to offer, I didn't get the chance to take on the Winter Lord. I'm looking forward to the opportunity.

With all the buzz about Issue 9, there has been considerable debate about the inventions. I've read most of the posts from the forums. I'm not sure if it's something that was needed in the game necessarily. I love new things to play with but I would also like more new content especially at level 50. But we will wait and see. :)
