    Yo G69 How you been old man I know how to do it, our base has access to it, I will take a nap friday evening to be up early. It would be fun to do this and maybe some of our west coasters would be willing to join and maybe direct it Would love to see a 7 minute COP I generally am the weakest link in any speed trial. If I don't see you before Saturday I'll see you Saturday early.

    Look at it this way: people who would be new to COH aren't exactly looking to see how well the guy behind the keyboard is playing the game. These live streams are great exposure for the game, which is why we're looking to host some ourselves.
    Sounds like a plan I'm game sign me up.

    supersidekicking in place

    Anyone 34 and under will only earn 10 v-merits and xp,

    35+ will of course earn normal v-merits only if they have unlocked the RWZ content. You must run the Vanguard mission arc "Join Vanguard" to unlock the zone V-merit cap.

    If you have a Vanguard HVAS bring them to help earn even more rewards.

    League Form up will be done in Broadcast/Local and League. The MSR Pylons and directions will be issued in Request. If you don't have Request set up in a window please do so. If you don't know where you're going follow the league. Pylon order below:


    Pylon order is as follows; counter-clockwise: 12, 11, 14, 13, 15, 17, 16, 6, 5, 7, 4, 8, 3, 2, 9, 18, 10, 1

    Bomb phase: Left side of ship, team sets bomb, shouts bomb and clears the hole, by hugging the shipwall and/or breaking line of sight to prevent splash damage. Once Bombs are set head to ships center.

    Once the Bomb phase is over all radiers to ship center to attack GM. Once the GM is down all taunters should be pulling into the ship center until the shields come back up. There might be a potential to get more then the intial bombs after the GM has been defeated before the shields come back up.

    If you die hit the hospital if you havent been Rez, and request a port back. If you DC or some how wind up out of league, please send me a tell or I probably won't see your request for reinvite.

    Looking foward to seeing you all Sunday night.

  4. What's the strangest excuse you've ever been told for someone going afk or quitting a team/league on tf or trial?

    The silliest?

    I thought this was a farm.

    The most excusable?

    AFK BIO/Drink

    The most inexcusable?

    No notice stopping to do something not team /tf / trial / league related- nuff said

    Discuss, debate.

    Nuff said already, So WHY??
  5. Looking foward to this Freebie Friday giveaway remember the time zone thing starts the 24 hour clock 00:00 to 23:59 based on the BST and adjust accordingly.


    Feedback:
    I think on Freebie Friday not just on the launcher or the home page announcing it that it would generate more interest in Market use if it appeared as a GMotD on log in once you are in game. This would alert people who never visit the forums or homepage, and be a reminder to all players who might have forgotten about the promotion.

    display message could read some thing like this:



    Announcing a new pilot program for the Paragon Market: Freebie Friday
    Freebie Friday is a new test program in the Paragon Market where all players, Free, Premium and VIP, can claim (only once per offer) a selected free item! The item could be almost anything currently available in the Paragon Market and will change every week! Currently, we plan for each promotional item to be available for 24 hours

    Step 1: Play City of Heroes Freedom and Log in to the Paragon Market!
    Step 2: Claim your Freebie Friday item from the “Featured Items” section
    Step 3: Come back regulary for more great items found in the Paragon Market!

    You will get a bigger more postive response IMO.

    This week: a free xp booster
    Next week: Who knows? I'm looking forward to it.

    Disclaimer: I already buy stuff from the store and knew it was there, but I was curious what would show up on the top page for new people coming in for their freebies. I think it is well handled.
    Sadly I missed it.

    Feedback:
    Not easy to find as twice when trying to get to store the market locked up my computer causing a reboot of the game.

    When I finally got home from work on 5/11/12 Friday, well it's not Friday some where else so even tho I can go see a Friday night movie after dinner, the temporal vortex of COH has me being displaced until such time as Saturday truly resumes.


    Maybe next Friday.

    So - what do you all want next?

    Mo- LGTF
    Mo-Keys

    Toon name/archetype - Attack/Style (Info related to your toon).

    Personal examples:

    Amman Tobin - Drop It Like It's Hot (Flaming Tanker Mix)
    Energy Blaster - Concrete Dancing (Sniper Go Boom Mix)
    Stone Tanker - All Out of Granite (Sisterhood Remix)
    Ghost Thief - Behind Your Back (Echoes of Garrett Remix)


    So, Liberty, what's your toon's music video like?
    Okay not sure this is what you ment but:

    American Valor/INV-SS -- PBAOE/Taunt -- Real American

    Two Gun Kid/DP-Dev -- Hail of Bullets -- Blaze of Glory


    I generally run a playlist of my personal FAV music it works for all my toons

    If you miss one, I seriously doubt it will be a big deal. It sounds like they'll just be doling out some of the lesser-priced consumables. Worst case scenario, if they're giving out something you simply have to have, you can always buy some for cheap on the Paragon Store.

    Edit: That's Eastern Standard Time. Eastern Daylight Time is UTC-0400. If you are literally at -5 right now, you're on Central Daylight Time, and your window will be from 6:00pm Thursday until 6:00pm on Friday.
    Thanks Tony

    Remember, it's a pilot program. It's subject to change and we're looking forward to getting your feedback. For now, just know that when you log in tomorrow, you'll have a free item waiting for you in the market.

    Right I understood that, everyone gets the same thing, time frame issue is based on it's Five O'clock somewhere or in this case it's 24 hours friday some where.

    So I'm at -5 hours from the time zone. so when will my 24 hours end and how would I know this.

    Personally I think floating Friday giving each 24 hour by time zone just like we do in real life is how it should be handled My Saturday Morning at 2 am is still Friday night on the west coast. Something to think about.

    Otherwise I'm all about this lets see if the plan to get me to the market will get me to spend more points.

    We almost got MoUGT again, but since I already had it, I'm not quite clear on what we may have missed - and we may have gotten it, there were some conflicting reports. We didn't snipe the bombs in the clustered hallway, but used Champion's @amygdala's technique of using 80 yard ranged attacks and I am the one who messed up his targets, and we just missed it by a second - or we may have gotten it. Again, reports were conflicting - one thing is certain, noone got blown up by it, so it may have been an Mo. Either way, it was a league effort from start to finish, so thanks to Champion and @amygdala for letting me join them to see a new way to do things.

    Kudos also to @Dr. Photon and @frankx who reminded me of the fourth "ear" sidepath bomb - somehow I passed that up.

    Tomorrow, I will endeavor to get an MoLambda - but it will depend on who brings what. It will likely take a couple of different runs.

    So, Tuesday night, 9pm Central, 10pm Eastern

    Yes awesome runs, Not sure on the conflicting for MoUGT but both Steele and myself have it I know several others earned it but unsure if someone who needed it didn't get it. We are looking foward to tonighs MoLAM, once again thanks for running such a great event.

    Re: voting... sorry, add me to the "neither" camp. Both pictures have their merits, true, but when I think COH, that's not what I'd expect to see at the top of the screen.

    For a HERO option, it'd be cool to just have the Freedom Corps logo, or maybe the Phalanx's, PPD, something. For the VILLAIN option, use Arachnos, Cage, or even the emblem of the Zig. For OTHER, maybe the Praetorian logos (Loyalist/Resistance), the Rogue/Vigilante symbols, something that doesn't take up the entire screen.

    It avoids character favoritism, and would probably be a bit easier on the sizing.
