Breif hijack, but Nos is actually easier with fewer members. His biggest ick is his Life Drain, and that is more significant the more people who are around him.

We tried to fight him with a DM/SR Scrapper, an Ill/Emp Controller, a MA/DA Scrapper, a Rad/Rad Defender and an NRG/NRG Blaster, and we go *owned*. Twice. We abandoned the mission. Then later just the DM/SR Scrapper and the Ill/Emp Controller tried it again, and the controller didn't use any of her pets, just used holds/buffs/debuffs/heals, and we smacked him down.

Like I said, hijack. I've seen few cases of soloable AVs, but Nos isn't a good example. I would find it as easy to believe that a /SR Scrapper or /Ice Tank could solo him than that a large group succeeded.

I admit, Eden Studios is not one of the companies I follow closely, but I figured they were a cut above the "three guys in a garage" level. Then again, GOO's down to one guy, last time I heard.

Like I said, if it's financial issues or printing delays, I can understand. And the grown-up part of me can also understand about marketing and production.

Eden is bigger then "three guys in a garage" but it's still pretty small. I think the number of full time employees of Eden are still around a dozen. Eden also has a history of having trouble getting books out on time, due to printing delays, delays in getting licensed matterials approved, and a desire to release someting "right" instead of "fast".

Case in point: Army of Darkness was originally slated to be released Winter '03. It ships next week, although the PDF is available for download/purchase.

And unfortunately, Eden is small enough of a company that everyone is involved with everything, so if Army of Darkness is having issues at the printers, then it affects the release date of Buffy and Angel and Witchcraft and All Flesh Must Be Eaten and City of Heroes and Armagedon, etc.

I can also say that at Origins, Eden was asked to include information about Archery and Sonics for the initial printing of the book, which has added to the delays.

So, it's not just a "Let's release everything together!" ploy on the part of Cryptic/NCSoft/Eden/AEG.

can't make Origins but I'll be there at GenCon again this coming year. Wonder if they will demo the CoH pnp there. If so do they need demo GMs? The other question is whom to contact you guys or them.

Probably a bit far off to think about that but would like to help if you guys need it.

Go to the Eden Studios website and look in the CoH forum there for info about demoing and playtesting the game.

I'm going to be demoing at Origins as well.

That is unless his goth character was aware of it being a game, like the She-Hulk. I don't read the comic, but someone told me and it completely turned me off to She-Hulk... as if the name isn't a good enough reason to not read it.

You're really missing out on something. It was only in her own book (not her appearances in Avengers or Fantastic Four, or her current title), but it was really amusing. She would have discussions with John Byrne and demand certain things. It would've bothered me if it involved the rest of the Marvel Universe, but within it's own context, it was really fun.

Still, unless handled VERY carefully, a hero who knew that everything going on in Paragon would break my suspension of disbelief while playing, and irritate me to no end.
