/agreed!

Hey Jugg, I always read and view your stuff, but dont always post. But for this I have too. GOOD STUFF MAN!

Wow, alot went into that. Good stuff

Yeah man, colored very nicely, it looks sweet!

Dang man, that seriosuly reminds me of an old Marvel Universe Super Poster I use to have when I was like 18 (32 now). But the best thing about it is, it's all CoX!! Great stuff. If you color it, and have posters made, I'll buy one! WOOT!!

I'm extremely disappointed that an image of Statesman would be used in such a way. I know that we designed City of Heroes to appeal to "children of all ages." My proudest accomplishment with the game is that many parents (including my brother) play with their children...sharing, I hope, the same joy for the comic book world that I've had ever since I was 8. I cannot express the shock that I felt seeing that a character created by Cryptic would be used in the same sentence as Columbine.

I feel ya States! I too play with my son who is 4. Yes 4 years old. I am 32. And he plays as good as some of the gamers that I have played with trhough my stint here in CoX since Beta of CoH. My son and I "Arrest" the bad guys, and in NO WAY do I feel this game is Violent like it is trying to be portrayed. If I felt for a moment that it was any where near the games of today which find blood & guts a common place, I would never let him near the computer. My son and I have loads of fun, and we participate in Missions, Task/Strike Forces, and even PvP Base Raids. My son (who turns 5 in end of Feb.) will continue playing this great MMO experience, despite how some would like to try and belittle it.

Well, I am 4 pages or so late in replying, but welcome!

He means powersets.

Are the patron pools truly permanent or can they be changed in a respec?

Had to ask in case you were still lurking.

[/ QUOTE ]

Excellent question, and I hope we all recieve an answer to this. But since these powers appear to be something you choose,, and gain through going through a contact, I want to say that they will indeed NOT be able to be changed. But then again, when doing a respec, will they (the Dev's) section off these "Patron powers" so that you are stuck with them.

Lets be honest, if you gain these powers by chossing a specific Patron like, lets say Mako, it sounds as if you deal with him and learn about his past and work your way to gain his trust and in return he grants you with powers that you can only get through him. So........in a respec, they wouldnt grant you access to other Patron powers if you did not do the missions or contact to obtain them.

Thats just my thoughts, but I hope we get an official answer on this as it has be very intrested, and it makes choosing your Patron something to be thought about, rather, than a hastily made decision.

Hopefully we get another red name response!

Neither are in I7 (fyi)...BUT Geko and I have talked a little about Shields. We're thinking that Shields would be a Primary AND a Secondary Power Set for Tankers - and a Primary Set for Scrappers...but this thinking might change. I'd imagine the set is mostly about Defense, but again, nothing has been designed yet.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, as for SHIELD's being "thought about", but nothing has been "devolped yet", leads me to several questions.

I believe it was GEKO who stated something about Electric Tankers, and some other AT being almost ready, while others were "close". (*Trying to find his post)

If Shield Tankers (which by the way has been mentioned as far back as Sept. '05) havent even been designed yet, then what is on the way?

Anyone wanna lay un us faithful subscribers some things that may be coming down the pipe line soon? Like I8? (Just a little table scrap to keep this puppy from starving)?

Okay, okay, here is my ten tracks.........


1. Chevelle - Seeing Red
2. The Used - Taste of Ink
3. Breaking Benjamin - Polyamorous
4. Something Corporate - Woke Up in a Car
5. Dashboard Confessionals - Saints & Sailors
6. Bare Naked Ladies - Old Apartment
7. 311 - Amber
8. Greenwheel - Breathe
9. Tonic - Take me as I am
10. Candlebox - Far Behind

Rock on!

Myself and my lady play!

And so do our 4 children, yep, 11, 7, 5, and 3! WOOT!!

Well, I thought I remember after the issue of the Shadow Shard, he mentioned that a City of Aliens, or Galaxy of Heroes would be an expansion/stand alone with introduction of travel to other countless planets, and all new Alien races both good and bad.

I thought I remember this, but I may have smoked my lunch that day! WOOT!!!

Sorry if anyone doesnt agree with me, but.......

I have a bow/bow Defender, and yes, he is under powered, but now that I am at lvl 33 (Yes, the hard way), I am loving him. I mean the Primary as a Archer has awesome DeBuff's, and Emp arrow now slotted is awesome. Give it time, as once you get in the higher levels, I think they ROCK!!!

I'll be 50 by Thanksgiving!

All we do know is that it is a new Epic Archetype that is coming soon (coming soon translation = between 1 year and 20 years from now, hehe)

Quick work! Kudos to Alexa!

YES ROCK N ROLL ALEXA, TY!!!
YES ROCK N ROLL ALEXA, TY!!!

Well TY Alexa, I just hope those pictures come before close of business today FRIDAY!!
Would hate for them to make us wait till Monday, I might have to take my frustrations and impatience out on some poor kittens! LOL!!!

There are some very good idea's here, and just like another poster, it seems that most people have beat me to the punch. So let me just state my wants real quick like.......

#1) All Task Forces to have badges. Everyone one, from the Shard, to Striga, to Croatoa and yes, if they are datamined, it would be great, and the Calvin Scott TF Badge would be sweet!

#2) A Official CoH Badge page on these forums or this site. Basically like everyone says, a place to go and see all the badges, and how they are obtained. Not where, not how many, just how. Like, "Pumpkin Head" - this badge is rewarding for killing the Fire Blog. Doesnt tell us how many, just shows us the badge, and a small description of the badge. Or you can give a complete description, thats up to you Dev's to talk about.

#3) A better in-game way to view your badges and such. Many people above have already mentioned this, and I second, and third, and well, you get the picture, I support it.

And thats all I have to say about that. WOOT!!!

WOW, very cool trailer. Love thjose Ghost Spider powers. Will be intresting to see all the new powers and learn what power sets there will be. WOOT!

Well, I was excited about this game, about a year and a half before beta launched, we got a whole new skill system from the one that was originally in place, and the game has not stopped growing.
I have played other MMO's, tested them in Beta, and to me CITY OF HEROES is by far the most fun and entertaining MMO out there. The fun and cammeraderie that I have experienced with my SG and coalitions with other SG's, has been a blast!
With as many Archetypes as there are, and comming from my huge comic background with collecting and drawing heroes since I was 6 (still have my drawings), this game was a dream come true, and the main reason why I have 5 accounts. Yes, they are all active.

Happy Anniversary to CoH, and I wish you and our community here MANY MANY MORE!!!

WOOT!!!

Couple of changes we're making in I5:

1) Instead of the first five levels being debt free, the first TEN levels will be debt free.

2) XP debt will be halved on mission maps (that includes outdoor mission maps, too).

[/ QUOTE ]

I like this. It will make the hollows a bit more bearable. I like the hollows, but man, sometimes its tough to go across map at lvl 6 and get wiped out by some huge mob that spawns right in front of me, hehe.

Cool stuff STATES!

So your saying....

3 trays now?

WOOT!!! Bring it, I dont care what key strokes you hook it up with, this is long over due!!!

THANK YOU!

Don't forget to add "more mini-events like the giant Octopus, the Ghost Ship and the infamous Paladin."

[/ QUOTE ]

YEAH!! What he said!!!!

I love those 3 specials in game, they are very fun, and make for very cool in game relationships while trying to get these different badges.

What tweaks would you like to see for Super Groups?

What new features?

[/ QUOTE ]

OHHHH Statesy, you made me happy asking this question, well, let's not fool around, let's get to it!!!

#1) Ability from SG Creator to be able to Demote/Promote/Remove Heroes, no mater they're rank, from the SG whether they are online or not.

#2) An exclusive SG E-Mail ability, as Message of the day is too short, and it would be nice to be able to whip up an E-Mail just to SG members.

#3) The SG Alliance Chat. A Chat that when a SG was invited, they would be added to a certain tab, and have a specific chat color. If anyone in the Alliance Chat "shouts out" anyone from that specific SG would/could see it, and respond back.

#4) 1 to 3 more Rank positions for SG ---- I.E.> SG Creator, SG Captain, SG Recruiter, SG General/Leader, etc.

#5) The ever-mentioned SG Vault where we can deposit/store Influence and Enhancements

#6) The Ability to change the colors of, and the symbol of your SG (Maybe this can be a mission where up to 8 SG members partake in, to get the ability to change it, as the citizens of Paragon wouldnt know them if they abruptly changed, like a trial to gain back popularity of they're SG? Okay maybe shooting in the dark with this idea of a mission)

#7) To have all Symbols availible for your SG to choose from. From my knowledge the Maple Leaf and the Fist are currently not availible.

#8) SG Costume option - a Panel, where the SG leader or creator of the SG can set a SG Costume from the hero creator that all heroes can get besides just the 2 color choices we crently have. So basically, take out the 2 colors, and let us be able to make a SG costume with up to 3 colors. WOOT!!!

#9) FOR THE LOVE OF CoH, Make the SG limit from 75 to 100, PLZ!?!?!?!

And thats about it!!

Thanx in advance!!!

Sorry I haven't been on the boards recently. I've was away for personal reasons for the past week. I'll be scouring the forums this weekend!

Like I tell all my Primers, dont be sorry, real life issue's are more important than a game or anything else. When your good and ready to be back, we will be here for ya.

WOOT!!!

Okay 1st off, I use CAPS to emphasize words, it doesnt mean I am YELLING. If thats how you take it, SORRY!!! Too many people always feel that what THEY THINK is what is the standard. This isnt a classroom, its a FORUMS, so thanx for NOTHING, if you wanna reply, lets keep it on TOPIC!
-----------------------------

Now to get back to the subject, from what I hear Alliance Chat is totally different than Global Chat. And hopefully a DEV will respond to this as well.

Alliance Chat is suppose to be a way to "Ally" with other Super Groups. Basically if a SG confirms an alliance, a "special" chat almost like Team or SG Chat is availible and when someone types and presses enter, of course all the people in that Alliance will be able to see the chat. Thus, a shout out of "Hey any Phoenix Prime or Knights of Paragon members want to do the Eden Trial??" Thus if both groups were allied, they would see the chat and be able to respond.

At least thats how it was described to me.

Global Chat seems to be the priority, and they are obviously working on it, but when will ALLIANCE CHAT coming? Well your guess is as good as mine. We can only hope to hear more on this as well.

SWEET!!!
