Andora

Thanks for everything, Zwil! Best of luck and enjoy the time with your family.

Happy birthday, JT! You're my favorite speedster (and not just cause you're the fastest).

Posted my thanks over on Formspring, but I also wanted to echo those sentiments here on the main boards. Thanks so much to everyone who helped planned this event and to those of you who showed up to support the RP. It was awesome, and I had a great time - even if I missed half the dialogue in Siren's because I can't multitask well!

Seriously, you guys were awesome. Thank you for coming out!

@Andy

Thank you, Dink! Can't tell you how many times I looked at the boots and thought, "Man, I'd totally buy these if I could get them without spurs." I will now be purchasing the Gunslinger pack when I22 hits.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I would love to have bikini bottom and skirt textures that match the textures of sleek tights, leather, etc. That way if I use a sleek tights top, my bikini bottom or skirt can match so it looks like a single piece.

Also, I'd like to see leather textures that are super shiny.

Thank you!

Edit: Hah! Posted 3 minutes too late!

Hello, Virtue! Titan Industries is still around and still recruiting! Head over to our website for information or an application. Essentially, the group is a mercenary outfit that has a fondness for acquiring advanced technologies. We have a weekly team night, plus a heroside group for when you want to be good.

You can find more details on our website!

Happy holidays and happy gaming!

Andy

Thanks so much to PERC for hosting this event! (Also, thank you, Fulmens, for your funding!) What a wonderful contest and such great work. Congratulations to all the winners!

Weird, but one of my favorite things about Going Rogue was the music. It's epic! Mr. Graves did a fantastic job.

Yay! I always hoped you two kids would get together...okay, well not always, but eventually! So happy for both of you.

<3

This was a wonderful event, guys! Thanks for putting it on!

Name: Titan Industries

Currently Recruiting: Yes!

RP Level: Moderate to heavy. This is an rp vg; our members are generally looking to share stories together, both in-game and on the forums. We have an OOC channel, but teams and sg chat should be considered IC unless indicated otherwise.

PvP Level: Player's choice. The group doesn't pvp, but individual members are free to pursue it as they like.

Theme/Concept: Established in 2009 by Brooklyn Cale, Titan Industries is an acquisitions and problem-solving firm. The company operates out of a secure facility in St. Martial in the Etoile Isles and specializes in the quick, discreet resolution of problems. Employees are free to pursue their own interests, cultivate their own clients, and work on their own agendas. In order to find and perform jobs, each operative has access to the human, electronic, and financial networks provided by the company. In exchange, employees give a small percentage of their incomes to Titan Industries and occasionally carry out an assignment given to them by the firm. Jobs assigned to operatives by the company pay extremely well once they are successfully completed. Good performance and loyal service tend to result in better assignments, bigger paychecks, and more perks.

Most backgrounds and all origins are welcome, though there are a few concepts that probably wouldn't fit in too well. (For example, Arachnos loyalists or anyone under the age of 18.) Regardless of background, any character who is admitted to the group will need to be interested in making sure Titan Industries is a successful business. Different motivations for joining the company are expected, but overall, we tend to admit characters who will fit in well with an environment that encourages professionalism, efficiency, and discretion. The mentality is that operatives who protect the company's operations will find themselves well-rewarded in terms of benefits and money. Finally, characters are recruited into the group, so there's no way to apply IC. Players are certainly welcome to ask about joining though!

Activity: We currently have a nice group of about 15-20 experienced roleplayers. We tend to be active after about 8-9 PM, EST, though there's a few of us who pop on during the afternoons. We have in-game teaming and rp (including a weekly team night), as well as forum-based rp. Members are not required to use the forums for storytelling, but they are certainly encouraged to do so.

Requirements for Membership: There is no minimum level to join, but anyone who's interested in applying will need to fill out an application at our website. We expect members to be mature, thoughtful, and active.

Leadership: Titan Girl - Director; Shock Torrent - Captain; Tommy Cortex - Captain

In-Game Contact(s): @Andy, @Anhedonia1, or @Kalen.

Out-of-Game Contact(s): You can pm Andora on the main CoH forums, send a tell to any of the officers in-game, or leave a message for us at our website in the application section.

Coalitions: Anathema

Greetings, Virtue!

Titan Industries is still around and still recruiting! Head over to our forums for information, an application, or a riveting discussion of Tiger and Bunny. (Apparently it's quite enjoyable!) We run our weekly team nights every Wednesday, and we run other events throughout the month as well. Because we like playing together so much, we've also established a heroside group for our members, and there's information about Zenith Force available on the website.

Happy gaming!

Andy

I agree that condensing the AT forums into Some Other Organization could easily be more confusing than just having a bunch of different forums. However, there are forums that could be merged or scrapped to help with bloat. I think a few of these have already been mentioned, but I'll add my input too since you asked!

- Move the "Player Events" and "SG/VG Recruitment" threads out of the "News, Events, and Announcement" forum group. This is a great place to disseminate official information from Paragon Studios and having those two forums there has often struck me as strange. Maybe consider moving the Dev and Community Digest feeds here too. Again, that's information straight from Paragon Studios. Could easily put it all in one place.

- If you want to keep "Player Events" and "SG/VG Recruitment" forums, move them to the "For Fun!" forum group. While I do think groups could do without that specific forum for sg/vg recruitment, I think it could still be useful to new players. I'm undecided about keeping or scrapping them, but I do think they should be moved out of their current forum group.

- If you're going to keep the Mac Forum, move it to the Development forum. Most of what's in there is tech support, so I think it should really be with the other technical support resources. I hesitate to suggest scrapping it entirely since I imagine digging through a bunch of general tech support posts could be frustrating if you need help specific to a Mac, but still. I think it should probably be with the other tech support stuff.

- Merge Player Guides and Player Questions into one forum. "Have a question? Want to offer some guidance? Post here!" or something like that.

- I'm not a badge person, so I don't know how useful this section is, but...how useful is it? It seems like strategies for getting badges would go in the "Player Guide" section, while the coordination of obtaining said badges could be moved to the appropriate server forum.

- I don't want to exclude our non-American friends from having a place to talk and plan things together, but are the two lounges necessary? Could they be merged into one forum? I'm not in this category of player, so I'm not sure how helpful those two forums are for our non-American subscribers. I'd like to hear how they feel about them.

- Merge the Screenshots and Multi-media sections into one forum.

- The "Suggestions and Ideas" forum seems out of place in the "For Fun!" forum group. I agree players should have a place to voice ideas about the game, but is this section actually necessary? Couldn't suggestions and ideas just as easily be placed in "Player Questions" or "CoH/CoV Discussion" or "General AT Discussion"? If you want to keep "Ideas and Suggestions" though, I'd suggest moving it to the "Development" forum group.

- Maybe combine the two PvP sections into one PvP forum and move that forum to the "Player Help" forum group.

- Leave the AT forums as they are, but maybe add the type of play style as part of the title. (I forget who suggested this, sorry!) "Blasters (Ranged Damage)" or "Controllers (Crowd Control and Support)."

That's all I have! YMMV.

Thanks for coming in on the weekend, guys!

Wow, this is exciting! That "hello, hello?" frame looks AWESOME. Feels like this is going to be an epic tutorial. The drawing with Sister P and BaB looks awesome as well, though I have to agree Sister P does look a bit too surprised given what we know of her. Overall though, nice job! I'm really impressed and excited! Can't wait!

PS - I would like to see her get a new costume, if for no other reason than it's pretty easy to replicate her look in-game. She needs something original!

Congrats, EMpulse!
