Brimmy

Zwill. Devs. Fellow players.

The last 8 years have been amazing. I know many would think us all silly to care so much about a game being shut down, but I say to heck with those people.

We may be nerds and geeks and gamers and basement dwellers one and all, we may be "accused" of living fictional lives because we play games like this. But by god we are more ourselves than most people could ever claim to be!

We, the community of City of Heroes/Villains along with the lovely people at Paragon Studios, have always shown great solidarity and pride over who we are. Player meets, ingame events, social encounters of several varying kinds. I have always, and will always, take GREAT pride in saying I have been a part of this!
Those who know me personally also knows what this game has meant to me, things I can't bear to put into writing here and now. So I will just say that the extreme hardships I have gone through in my life would most likely have broken me, had it not been for this game and the people in it.

I encourage you all, especially the developers, to take great pride over what we have accomplished here. City of Heroes was not just a game, it was a second home to thousands and thousands of people where they could forget about troubles and hardships and lead a happy carefree life alongside others just like them, like me.

I bow especially for you, Andy 'Zwillinger' Belford, you took up the job as Community Manager for a community that was already flourishing and you made it EVEN BETTER. You have been truly fantastic.

Finally, to my comrades at the Union server. Thank you one and all for some truly amazing experiences, lots of laughs and frustrations has been shared in our very tight-knit server community. I have not always gotten along with each and every one of you, but even families have their disputes. I salute you all.

With this message I now bid you all farewell, Gods speed in whatever endevours you take upon you. Know that this paragonian will never forget what we had.

Most sincerely, and with a heavy heart: Kristofer 'Brimmy' Kjellberg....

I'm getting so frustratedly fed up with waiting... Honestly..

The set was obviously ready enough to be put into the game in the hands of NPC enemy groups, it's been functional on Beta for ages.. Why was it held back in the first place?
When are we getting it? Why havent it been released weeks ago?

at the VERY LEAST you could answer those simple questions, especially about -when- we're getting it...

Staff Fighting was, by far, the most anticipated new 'item' of i22.. You advertised it to be PART of i22 launch.. then you never gave it to us!? Get on it!

Stop mucking about with Vanity pets and stuff, sort out the things that you yourselves said would've come with i22 THEN you can do that other stuff..

/end rant

That Enhancement Converter's drop from any level enemy is actually not a bug at all. Converters drop from any enemy as long as the character (meaning You) are above lvl10. In fact the drop-rate for them seem to grow higher the lower level you are, especially if you're out of range for purple drops (this is to me very logical).

I will however agree that it's a bit "odd" that they would drop from enemies whos level difference is so great they give -no- other reward what so ever.. but i can't complain ^^

Dark Knight is one of my absolute favourites, both because i'm a huge batman fan and it really suits my fm/sd brutes costume and story.

also quite like the International Spy (i think that's the correct name at least) simply because, well, who didnt dream of being an international spy when they were young(er) :P

snipers can actually move, they just don't :P

the Turrets and Council factions seem to have joined forces, run for the hills! :P

Just popping out a big "wooooooop" and "thank you!" to all the participants, great fun and it's been a good while since there was much action going on

I know many of you where also in BB earlier on and PvP'd there, hope you had fun!

Here's hoping for repeats of tonight!

lvl50, crafted, 2.5b PM/Mail me in-game on @EU Brimmy if interested


--SOLD--

and lets not forget, it's not only a vat of consumable items to a cheeky price.. they're items you can get for free by running the Striga Island story arcs..

stop trying to trick people into paying for useless stuff, either provide items of value/usefulness enough for the price your asking or dont bother at all.. honestly, dont..

Well going by past experience from many an hour spent drop-farming, my self-educated guess would be that even though the 'freebie' can't recieve a recipe that doesnt necesarily mean the drop can't trigger on them.

When you solo, each and every trigger ends up in your pocket, but when you team, even with a freebie, the trigger goes off and then a 'decision' is made as to who recieves it.

Now where i'm going with this is, the freebie may not be able to "collect" the triggered recipe/salvage but the RNG may still divert it in that general direction as per usual resulting in an over-all lower drop-rate across the board simply because the recipes drop but are never "collected".

This is backed up by the fact that if you dual-account farm with 2 accounts that can -both- recieve recipes/salvage, it's almost always the 'secondary' account that gets the most drops.

These days, with i21 launched, you really should consider Energy Aura for a top-spot on the "most durable" list.. Easy to soft-cap against types, +Def/+End drainer which is very good, a Heal/EndDiscount power, +Res autos to help things along if you want it, quite nice DDR AND a t9 panicbutton if you have a spare powerslot :P

i've had it on a lvl50 brute and now also on a scrapper that's in progress, and i must say that i was really impressed with the survivability of the brute, soloing +3x8 with ease, barely needing the heal and +4x8 worked really well too though i needed to heal a bit more.. pair it with an AoE heavy toon, like spines (which my scrapper is) and you will soon be unstoppable.. Consider it

What i wonder (and i'm sorry if this has brought up allready without me seeing it), is why Reward Tokens, Badge, Server Transfer and Paragon Points arent being given out at the same time? Today i was given my monthly PP's and Server Transfer, but no Reward Token or Badge.. I'm expecting the RT and Badge to be given out on the 10th which is my re-sub day, but why is it spread apart like this? makes it really confusing in the long run and it's gonna be hard to keep track of what i've gotten and not...

Although, maybe that's the way they want it? us unable to be certain what we've recieved so there's less chance of us noticing if something's missing?...

at least the american players arent getting affected by these downtimes as much as the rest of us.. 10am to 10pm for me (assuming they get it up on time which they NEVER EVER MANAGE)..

seriously though.. how can you expect to maintain a "Freebie" player-base if you're gonna keep this up? heck how're you even expecting to keep us VIP's around if you're gonna keep this up?

It's a disgrace and someone really needs to sort this crap out.. at least start giving us EU players a frekkin break and have the downtimes at other times every now and then.. we may not be as many EU players as there are NA players, but that's no reason to treat us like dirt under your shoes..

and honestly.. if this turns out to be "for server stability" i may actually snap.. because, honestly, every time you've done something "for server stability" things have gotten worse than before..

and i do mean what i wrote in the post earlier.. downtimes of this magnitude DESERVES REIMBURSEMENT! and i'm not just talking some crappy costume-code that 5/1000 players gets.. give us ALL something that's WORTH having all these downtimes.. DXP week or free PP's or -something-.... those costume codes are just a slap in the face to be honest.. a handful of people get something for what everyone is suffering for.. be better if you just laughed at us and be done with it..

the way i usually do it is i bind both to the same button..

i.e. /bind <key> "powexec_auto Hasten$$powexec_auto Domination"

this way i only have to push the button when either goes off, and it'll change the auto to the other one.. simple, works, i'm all for it :P

uhm.. i'm not entirely sure where this problem would be coming from for you.. when i installed the Beta Server client i did what i always used to with TrainingRoom. I copied my game folder and ran the new install in that, it skipped over all the stuff it wanted to install that i allready had.. no issues whatsoever..
