    We need to promote someone from within the Freedom Phalanx to be the new leader, but that will still leave a hole to be filled. We have plans to fill that hole with a character submitted by a community member in a contest. We did this prior to launch and picked Numina to be one of the Surviving Eight, and we'd love to do this sort of thing again. We'll have more details on that in the coming months, but suffice it to say that your character has a chance at making into the official game lore as a member of Paragon City's signature supergroup.
    Do they mean an existing character, or a brand-new one created for the contest ?

    If the former...

    On one hand, you'll have the "honor" to have one of your characters promoted as a game-wide NPC.

    On the other hand, you'll lose control over that character, and will never be able to play it again. Before all the Incarnate stuff, players routinely "parked" their level 50s so this was not much of an issue, but now ?

    Anyway, since it is a contest, I'm already disqualified...

    I'm not either, but it has more to do with the format of the SSA.

    To use a comic-book analogy:

    I've "read" (played) the first 2 "books" in the SSA so far, and it's been "meh".

    I'll wait till the "trade paperback" (all 7 parts) comes out to pick it up again and "read" it all in one setting.

    thank you
    I saw your other thread on the German forums, but my German is almost inexistant so I will answer here...

    From the NCSoft Launcer, go to File / Settings, then Advanced Settings.

    Changing the Region to "Europe" and the Language to "German" should work.

    So, OP, I am willing to raise my bid to TWO [Hydraulic Pistons] and a [Temporal Tracer]. My final offer.
    That's too rich for my blood, Stone - I fold.

    Sorry to disappoint y'all, but I was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, where I still live.

    So ?

    I live in Canada, that makes me a Canadian with freedom of speech (*) and the right to refute any of your arguments to my heart's content...

    (*) which, as some pointed out, is totally irrelevant to this discussion
  14. Ok, to add something positive to this thread:

    Re: How to Get More Players

    Simple answer (which some of you mentioned earlier): Advertise more !

    TV ads might be a bit over-budget for Paragon Studios, but what about

    - banners on gaming blogs and websites ?

    - ads in magazines and comic books (where I first heard of this game) ?
  15. Y'know, Godless, you need to air out your text a bit, let it breathe...

    Here, I'll do it for you.

    If that was the case, we would probably see a trend of "RAGEQUIT 'CAUSE SERVERS ARE EMPTY" threads in the forums. We haven't.

    Lrn2Pl... sorry, wrong forums.

    I can understand about the Global Channels, but th Help channel is available right there on the Communication window, so that's no excuse.

    And your point is ?

    Like Hyper said, if a new player sees "only 4-5 players in Mercy" (which I doubt very much unless you're playing in the middle of the night) and quits without experiencing the game any further... well, "there are not the players we are looking for..."

    No, it won't, for reasons explained above (i.e. /hide, instances, etc.)

    Eh, I have to agree with you on this: there are several servers with a population about the same as Pinnacle, AND IT'S QUITE ALRIGHT !

    If you have been subscribing as a VIP since COH:Freedom's launch, you should have at least 3-4 transfer, which mean you only have to wait 1 more month to transfer the "5 characters that [you] care about."

    I concur: same thing happened to me last Sunday with a character that had Beam Rifle. The character was locked, even though I'm a VIP and I have purchased Beam Rifle (otherwise that character would not have been able to get to level 11...)

    After a few seconds of "WTF??", I went back to the server list and tried again - it worked.

  18. I suggest you follow the instructions here:
    [Guide] Asking for technical help on the forums

    and post the results in this thread, so our more tech-savvy colleagues can have a look.
  19. And... they're all in !

    Got my last card, from Nomme & Kidengineer, yesterday !

    Thanks to all !

    I bought the Rocket Board because a few of my characters could conceptually use it (even with the Fire Truck Red paint job).

    Magic Carpet ? Not so much. But to each his/her own...
  21. Is there a Last Chance tonight ?

    As a note, the WST for this week is :
    • Terra Volta (44-50) (from Major Richard Flagg in Peregrine Island) or
    • Tree of Thorns (44-50) (from Ractespriel in the Nerva Archipelago)

  23. Bien le bonjour !

    Joueur de CoH depuis Mai 2005 (principalement sur Protector), j'ai récemment crée un perso sur Vigilance à la demande d'un ami, et suis à la recherche des canaux globaux (Global Channel) utilisés sur ce serveur.

    J'ai bien vu "Vigilance-FR" mentionné plus haut, mais quand j'ai essayé de le joindre, j'ai recu le message:

    Impossible de rejoindre le canal privé 'Vigilance-FR'.



    Est-ce qu'il y a un truc ?
