I'm in full support of this idea. I think it'll restore a little of the goodwill that they lost by doing this.

In regards to the concerns about the RMT spammers, I don't think it'd be an issue. They know that a dead game holds no profit and at this point, City of Heroes is dead. They won't be an issue, but if they are there are ways to block them quite easily. There's an option to only allow mail from friends/supergroup members, plus you can hide yourself from searches which will limit random RMT tells unless they're in the same zone as you.

When they can do that ON THE LAPTOP alone, then it'll be impressive. Rendering the frames on 4 other computers and sending them to the laptop to be displayed makes the laptop nothing more than a glorified monitor.

Not to say the idea itself isn't pretty cool. Done properly it'd bring a whole new level of graphical quality to gaming. I don't expect there to be consumer processors capable of handling stuff like that for at least 10 years and gaming companies probably won't use the tech for at LEAST another 5 after that.

I think I had this same problem Monday night. My screen would flash/flicker black almost constantly. Only way to have it not happen was to stay completely stationary. Odd thing was that Monday afternoon, no problems. It got me so frustrated I did a full reboot of my computer and no more problems.

If I could tell a "noob" one thing...it's this: be a newb, not a noob. But you made this thread so you're off to a good start.

If I could tell a "noob" a second thing...it's this: don't be this guy.

But no seriously, the advice you're getting in this thread is just about perfect. Just a couple additions.

Don't be afraid to team with lower level people, you will keep all powers up to 5 levels higher than you drop to. Though most teams in this case would ask you to get missions so that's not a problem most of the time anyway.

While even the basic IOs can be quite pricey at times they will save you lots of inf in the long run since they never "go red". Some people will say to wait until mid-high 30s for IOs, but 99.999% of the time they're referring to IO sets and not just the basic IOs.

From what I read, this next one might be redundant but here it is anyhow. Don't feel you need to rush through levels. Just because there's an "end game" doesn't mean it's any better than the content in the previous 50 levels. Every one of us has probably seen at least one person at level 50 who doesn't even know how their basic powers work because they got powerlevelled to 50.

Above all, have fun and remember the one and ONLY rule to City of Heroes gaming: If it moves, shoot/punch it til it stops twitching.

edit: one last thing, remember, Dark Armor Sucks.

I was actually wondering this exact same thing. I went out and bought a gamecard on Saturday the 24th and applied it when I got home. My renewal date was Sunday the 25th. No reward token(s), no Paragon Points. I double checked my account page to verify that I did put it in right and everything looks fine.

edit: nevermind about the reward tokens, just logged in and those are there waiting, but no PPs. Perhaps they changed when those are given out and forgot to tell us?

You wanna talk about epic hair, you need to talk to this guy.

The one thing everyone should know about CoH is this: it's the GOOD superhero MMO. It may not be the prettiest one out there but to people who really care about a game, there's FAR more than shiny graphics.

General Grevious was the prototype for Vickie huh?

Anyone else find it funny that the number of likes and dislikes is over double the number of views?

What about how part of a trial team gets crashed out immediately and can't rejoin? Or was that fixed already and I'm just behind the times?

Soon(tm)? 'When they're done'? Valve-time?

Not really, it answers the question posed in the thread title exactly. If the question was 'are there any plans to look at pvp in the foreseeable future?' then you might have (haha yeah right!) gotten a different answer. But since the question asked about before CoH Freedom the answer is quite straightforward.

Didn't they say something a while back about not wanting to put in silly weapons? Now we get ridiculously oversized swords and railroad crossing signs. I demand Swordfish Melee now or at least a giant plastic squeaky mallet.

As has been pointed out above, chainsaw swords are not limited to only one IP so we could have them here as well but you'll need a good name. I suggest... 'Razor Blade'. Then we could even make barber villains. "Just a little off the top? Okay! *slash!* Hrm, maybe a little TOO much. *cue villainous laughter*"

*sings* Shave and a haircut...
