Anthem Aegis

I'll never understand why people fret over the amount of players online at a given time.

It's as if the number were a direct representation of the amount of fun they're able to have.

Typically, there are about 600+ people on the server when I check for kicks. Damn. I guess I won't be doing that 700-man raid....

If you can't make a team of eight out of the hundreds playing, the problem may be a little more personal than server population.

Incredible. This news, coupled with the incoming AE nerf may just be enough to bring the AE nay-sayers back.

Even after all these years, this game never ceases to amaze and surprise me.

Huzzah!

My first attempt at an actual arc. This mission is chapter one and I'll be adding more and more until the conclusion.

Enjoy!

The one thing that needs fixing in these things is the auto-power rewards. (+movement, +HP, Dept protection etc)

AUTO POWERS SHOULD NEVER EVER HAVE ONGOING PARTICLE EFFECTS.

Someone needs to take that sentence, write it on a piece of paper, and staple it to the forehead of whoever configures these things.

I levelled a guy past 40 yesterday who had just got rid of the prior effects. Bang. Stupid pink swirly things 24/7 to signify debt protection.

Please. For the love of God. Make it stop.

Pink Swirly Things: +Debt Protection, -Masculinity

Spiffy! Thanks, Summerstar!

Oh God, yes.

What was your favorite 'feature' of Issue 9?
I chose Statesman's Task Force. It was a difficult choice, however. There's no denying that the Invention System and Consignment House added a great deal of depth and purpose to the game, but content is content. STF added some nice gameplay mechanics, story and badges. At level 50, when it's difficult at times to fight off stagnation, additional content is absolutley welcome.

What new shiney were you most excited to get?
I chose badges simply because I'm an addict. Love those IOs, though!

Do you like the addition of a dynamic economic system?
Absolutely! Obviously, it still has its kinks and prices are high, but these are all fixed with time and experience.

Did you find the Invention tutorial to be easy to use?
Who didn't?

How would you rate Issue 9 overall?
3 and a half stars, here. I love that an economy has been added along with a deep enhancement system because the game definitely could use some depth. However, as I said before, at level 50, it's difficult to find ways to trick yourself into continuing to play.

I hear I10 will remedy this, however.

Great issue, devs! I absolutley love the direction in which you're taking this game!

Very cool.

Jeez, all this art flying around is kind of inspiring.

"Legacy" is one of Guardian's most swiftly-growing Supergroups and we're looking for a few good heroes to join our ranks!

We're a close-knit group of casual players who partake in every facet of gameplay from PvP to badge hunting. Our members make every effort to team with each other whenever possible (no matter what level) and are never too busy to help those in need. We believe that frequent play, constant events, rewarding SG interaction, and getting to know each and every member are key elements of a successful Supergroup.

What does Legacy have to offer you?
-- A fully-functional base complete with workshop, medbay, eight telepads (a total of 16 locations), salvage racks, inspiration collectors and more!

-- More options for Supergroup management with every rank!

-- Supergroup uniforms specific to rank!

-- Task Forces and trials run every weekend!

-- Coalitions with both Heroic Conquest and Order Sixty-Six as well as participation in inter-SG events! Legacy also makes an effort to participate in every player-created server event we can!

-- Voice chat on Skype, Teamspeak and Ventrilo!

-- Supergroup website!

-- Frequent players, the majority of which are on every day!

-- Off-the-wall events that'll have non-members raising their eyebrows!

Our goal is to become the most rewarding, entertaining and premier Supergroup on the Guardian server and we're fully aware that the only resource we have to reach these heights are our members, both current and potential.

For more information on Legacy, feel free to contact Thunder Torrent, Nightwave, Red Sprite or myself, Anthem in the game. Or please feel free to send me a private message via the forums or head on over to our website at http://www.CoHLegacy.com

Thank you for your interest in our group and we look forward to becoming a legacy with you!

Yay. Totally.

Seriously.

A lot of times, my friends and I team on CoH while playing in the same room and it's so degrading when they snicker every time I taunt.

I swear I lose HP when they do....

Can we get a change to the taunt sound effect?

Tired of sounding turned-on when I taunt criminals....
