Is it just me or is there a huge amount of less options with the gloves?
I am sure there used to be the option for folded or spiked sets of gloves, which I cannot find anywhere!

List updated to include channel merges.
I hope the new format is easier to read and provides more infomation.
I've also removed the small niche channels like Virtue Exalted, as they can be advertised on the servers they originated from.

Hey So I do want to start off by saying that I do love this game! This is not one of those "Wah Wah Fix this QQ" posts. This is just a list of suggestions that I feel could strenghten an already strong game.


1.)Allow access to LFG at level 2, and have a pop up that introduces it. I see far to many people who don't know about the LFG system, or how to use it. I feel the feature could be great, but you have given it no introduction at all. You need to make it so that is well known what it can do, and exactly how to access it. I feel pushing it to level 2 and then having a pop up or description when training would be the best and easiest way to introduce the system.

2.) Allow cross server trails with the LFG. Heroes from Exalted should be able to do trails with Heroes from Virtue or from Freedom. At the very least LAM and BAF are very easily Puggable and being able to run them cross server would be of a huge benefit, especially for players in the EU. This will also allow people in global chat channels to arrange itrails with their friends whom are on a different server.

3.) Include normal Taskforces within the LFG system. There really is no reason not to, is there?

4.) Have a bit more dialog with the players. You guys are the expert at keeping things a secret to build up suspense with only letting little bits of infomation slip. However this isn't always the best way of advertising and keeping a solid player base. Whilst you need the suspence for some elements of the game, you also need open communication for others.
Watching a video of Zwill the other say, a PvP question was asked and he simply said "We have plans for PvP but we are not ready to talk about them yet." This is not the best way to keep players interest and it does not help you guys in anyway either. We don't want you to tell us every little plan, but it would be great if you would engage with us and tell us some of the ideas floating around. Even if they are changed and do not make it into the game (you would make that very clear from the start) you have at least shown us that you really are serious about working with the issue, aswell as respect the opinions of the players.

5.) I used to play WoW. Whilst the game wasn't that great and I left to rejoin CoH, there was one thing they got right and that was Battlegrounds. I think we should use that concept and apply it to COH. Have a 10v10 or 5v5 BG system that allows us to queue (cross server using the LFG) for a battle to complete a certain objective in a pre-existing PvP zone.

6.) Start selling more IO's within the game store, however keep that as Bind to Account. They won't be used to make any money, but they are there for people to buy if need be.
I would be very happy if I could spend a few £ to buy a couple of PvP IO's or some LotG + 7.5% recharge.

7.) Come and do more stuff with us, during EU times! Every event that has taken place on Exalted at least has been during US time. I get that you guys are a US company, but you are paying too much attention to the US and not enough to the EU. Show us that we are still important.

8.) Don't forget about the old power sets and Balance. Look I am gonna be honest and say that this game is by far the worst balanced game I have ever played. Being a super hero/villian is great fun, and the powers have to be fun (which they are) but you are too focused on the fun and not enough on the balance. Whilst it is important to have a fun game, it is also important to have a balanced game where powersets are not considerably weaker than others.
I feel its important that old power sets are gone over and tweaked to try and balance the game a little better. Having power sets that are FAR too weak or FAR too strong really isn't good for the game.


Thanks for reading!

Make sure you aren't doing anything silly like having Mids open while trying to download the new version.

A freind of mine tried downloading it, whilst having a build open which obviously caused an error. Soon as he shut it down, it worked.

Nope

This topic has been brought up many times. There are definitly far too many channels on this server, and whilst the suggestion has been made to merge the channels, nothing has really been done about it.
This post outlines my suggestion for how we should do it, aswell as to create a dedicated thread to discuss this issue in.

The Suggestion
We use 2 main channels for this server.

Exalted Events - Used to arrange all forms of events regardless of the type. They could be your Costume Contests, PvP Ladders, Mothership Raids, Trails, Badge Hunts, Task Forces, Hamidon Raids etc. If it's an event carried out on the server, it could go under that heading.

VIP - Used for general chatting/socialsing, forming pickup groups and having fun. Annihilus has his Friday night Triva too, which would make this the perfect fun social channel for the server.

All other channels that are not under this heading would merge into them for the sake of keeping the community together. If you were a Mod of your previous channel, then you'd also became a Mod of the merged channel.

I honestly think if we could pull this off, and ALL channel leaders were in agreement with this it would be a huge step forward for the community.

The Discussion

So as I said previously, that was just a suggestion as does not have to be carried out. The 2 channels I suggested were because they were in my opinion the 2 that best suited the servers need, but that doesn't mean everyone will share that same opinion.
It would be important for us to make this work that the 'channel leaders' did not have a huge bias in their own channel and will be uncooperative if it was not their channel used as the 'main channels'. I may be a large active role in Exalted Events, however if it was another channel like BMT of Exalted used then I would be more than happy to leave EE to merge with them. What's important is we pull this off, not that it's your channel used.

I hope this thread can turn into something good, and it can be used as a platform to make it what the server really needs, 1 or 2 channels for people to join instead of 8 or 9.

Thanks for reading folks.

Well, at least the new servers that caused us to be offline for around 16 hours were a great success

So i've just logged into the game. Soon as i log in before killing anything I get a warning message about Marty, and then gain no rewards for 'defeating' the bad guys.

I don't want a refund, upgrades needed to happen and they give us advanced warning everytime.

What I am unhappy with however is how it it seriously cutting into EU playtime. I understand with it being an NA based game and a greater number of NA players to cater too, however when the EU and NA side of the game merged it was promised we would not be treated like second class citizens. I would like you to bare that in mind as I ask 3 questions.

1.) If the EU were not being treated like second class citizens, why does every Dev based event happen at such bad times for the EU? The vast majority of the stuff on Exalted has been happening at 1am BST.

2.) If the EU were not being treated like second class citizens, why when there was a forum merge did the NA get priority?

3.) If the EU were not being treated like second class citizens, why has every single planned downtime within the last 2 weeks happened at times that least effect NA, with a disregard of the impact on the EU?

If you guys just came out and said "Yeah, its an NA based game, so everything will be favoured towards them" then its fine. But you haven't, you have promised to treat us all as equals and have failed to keep that promise.

Is there any way to add my own music to missions, that would play instead of the CoH music?

I am working on a storyline atm, and that would make it so much more effective.

Also added Exalted TFs.

If you are the mods of any of the above channels and would like their description changed please let me know!
Also please post of any other Exalted channels, to add them to the list and allow anyone moving to this server to see easily all the channels which we offer.

Added POOF and Exalted Incarnates to main list.

What I do with teleport (this may help you).

I put it in a powerslot. Doesn't matter which. I go to keymapping and bind that powerslot to the R key.
I then just R, Click, R, Click, R, Click to teleport across the map.

You could easily do the same by keybinding leftshift to the powerslot with teleport.

I would buy this.
