In the new COH newsletter about E3, is a picture showing States and Co and Lord Recluse and Co.

Right behind Lord Recluse is a new type of villian that appears to be a shark-man with claws on its hands.

Isn't that the description of a Coralax from one of the Striga Island missions?

[/ QUOTE ]

The shark guy looks a bit metallic. I got the impression from the mission text that the fish-like creatures was more organic. If we assume that mission text is a hint for the coralax, I think the shark-like villain is something different altogether. I could be wrong, though.

Happy b-day, Flaming 1!

What in the hell is going on? This was on the front page?? It's from September!

So you felt the need to dig up a thread that had been dead for months just to refute the analogy? Where do you people find these long gone threads, anyway?

it's skills

you need to pay more attention

[/ QUOTE ]

That was one of the things that was mentioned at some point...

But I was mainly just seeing if I could get any posts into the oldest existing non-stickied thread in the General forum.

Upsen.

edit - and it still doens't really answer anything about what's happening with the non-combat system. Is it on hold for a future issue I guess?

[/ QUOTE ]

The skills system is the non combat system. They are one and the same. The skills system is currently planned for Issue 5, and States seemed to be absolutely about that deadline.

I bet the 5 AT's is the lie.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or maybe he wanted us to think that, so it's true!

But then maybe he thought of that and posted something that wasn't true BUT would appear true...

And then, realizing we would catch on to that, he posted something that was true but would seem...

[ QUOTE ]
Or, you know, there could be the four planned ATs, and the fifth is an epic AT...

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, good point!

Does that mean no killer mimes?

States said that there would be four ATs for CoV. So unless that's changed then I say The Facemaker (great name!) and killer mimes are true.

Why are we being so concerned with small minded folks that will kick "slow" players at the drop of a hat? Who wants to play with people like that anyway?

How often do you lie dead for longer than a minute? That almost never happens with me. Is this a common occurance among the majority of the playerbase?

If the answer is no then your complaint is moot.

That's true, 300' isn't terribly far, but you will not be buffing/debuffing/holding/healing outside of the range. I think that was Pitho's point. If you are working with the team and close enough to contribute then you will definitely get xp.

[ QUOTE ]
Remember, you have to do DAMAGE to get XP, not just be in range

[/ QUOTE ]

.... oh my god.

Please reread Statesman's post. Any teammate within 300' of an enemy's defeat gets the xp. No matter what. Whether they actually damaged the enemy or not. This includes healers and buffers/debuffers/whatever.

If a person did damage to that enemy they will get xp no matter what.

Please do not spread misinformation like this. Go back and reread the posts to make sure you understand before commenting.

This is what we feared. As people in other topics mentioned, this actually is worse XP than going solo. So the player is penalized XP-wise for splitting from the team. In other words, if you split the team into two teams to complete two tasks, you're actually getting LESS XP than if you created two SEPARATE teams to do the same thing.

[/ QUOTE ]

And the problem is? If you're not working together on the same fights, why should you get xp for them?

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. The point of this is to prevent people from getting XP for battles they do not actually participate in. If a team splits up to do separate tasks why should everyone get the experience for both missions? Each player is only fighting one battle, so why should they get the xp for two?

I hereby give the "Nostradamus" badge to UncaMilty for his amazing prediciton powers.

I also award Grendyl with the "Necromancer" badge for his amazing ability to dig up a long dead discussion and foist it upon the rest of us.

While we're on the subject, I can't believe Devs are nerfing Smoke Gernade! They suck!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

How dare you whine about smoke grenade when dark armor and stone armor still don't stack!!!

LMAO!

You bring up the dead horse then complain that people are beating on it?

I remember when this thread was still active.

It's a simple pattern: as an Issue gets closer to release on the test server, and then closer to release on live, the Red Names drastically decrease their post activity. The less of them there are on the boards, the more excited I get!

I want to know who Fear Factor and the Killing Crew were...

[/ QUOTE ]

Take this with a grain of salt, but I heard that Killing Crew was the original Sky Raiders. Thw went from blood thirsty mercs to, well, greedy government trained blood thirsty mercs. I have no idea about Fear Factor, though. Perhaps some group that will be added in the near future?

[ QUOTE ]
I remember London. I do not remember missing him yet, however.

[/ QUOTE ]

Same here. You can add Vegetator to that list as well.

I remember when a lvl 39 friend asked me to join him in the Abandoned Sewers. Of course I didn't know where they were and he told me "It's a secret place, hardly anyone knows about it."

I remember Diva Dautnless calling for Geko's resignation

I don't remember this. What was that all about?

[ QUOTE ]
I remember Aura sending out beta invites and half the people screaming YAY and half saying $&#%$@



[/ QUOTE ]

Good one. I forgot about that until now. Oh the disappointment everytime a wave of invites went out and I still wasn't one of them! Oh the joy when I finally was!

I remember when Illusion was called the worst controller powerset. I was even called "gimp" during beta because of that.

I remember the constant complaints about "City of Blasters."
