Okay, good to know it's not just me. Did the Ganymede/Scratch missions, got the Handsome badge, spoke to DJ Zero about Valentine tips, but have not gotten any V-Day tips.
Pity, I was hoping to get those badges too.

Take care, Andy. You were, and are, amazing at what you do. I can only hope our paths cross again.

Quote:That would be the petition that NCSoft is still choosing to ignore, right?Originally Posted by Nericus
If it makes you feel better the petition to save COH is 19.1k signatures as of now.
Unfortunately, with today's "here's how you get your money back" announcement from NCSoft I think we can officially say that the proverbial fork has been stuck in City of Heroes.
Thanks, as always, to Zwill and the rest of the team for many great years and an awesome game.

Success is the best revenge.
I wish great success to the Devs and all the employees of Paragon Studios: may they get to work on new and exciting projects that are at least as cool as our beloved City of Heroes.

Update: I'm working on some messaging regarding the cessation of player services right now. There's some details that are still being worked out by NCsoft, but I would expect something in the next few days.

Quote:Yeah, me too. After waiting around for over an hour (and juggling my schedule so that I could even be there in the first place) moving the shoot location at the last minute kind of sucks.Originally Posted by Sylph_Knight
So THAT'S where everyone went to.
Everyone vanished when I went AFK for a few minutes so I thought the shot was over and left.
Not cool. -

You gave us a world where we could fly. I can't thank you enough for that.
I wish it had gone on for another 20 -- I'd have been there.

These sound fun and should make it a little easier to put together a purple set.
Thanks for the update.
-Buxley -
Is there some setting I'm supposed to turn on for my name to be in GOLD? Because, as of right now the posting I made yesterday shows a white name and, not to brag or anything, but I'm definitely a VIP...
Thanks,

The cookie has been set to 8 hours of inactivity AFAIK. This is as far out as it will be set.
The COH forums are not Fort Knox. They're not my bank account. They're not even Twitter or Facebook. Why can't the cookies be set to expire every 30 days like a more normal website?
As it is, every single time I visit the COH forums I think "Oh crap, not this again. When are the gonna fix this !@#$% bug?!?" That's probably not the takeaway your marketing group wants for VIPs to have while visiting the web site.

I'm very disappointed that the "Gunslinger Pack" only includes what I would consider gunslinger attire for male and huge models but not for women. Women have to make do with what could be charitably called a "saloon girl with a heart of gold" outfit. Wow. Sorry, but that's just ALL KINDS of fail...
This topic seems to come up with every new costume pack. Every time we hear "we hear you, we'll do better next time" then... stuff like this happens.
My two INF...

There's a new item of some kind every week on the Paragon Market. That's FIFTY-TWO times a year that the Devs have to come up with something shiny for us to play with. As much as I'd like to see something as cool as Street Justice or Beam Rifle every week, it just ain't gonna happen. Not every week anyway.
And for this, my wallet is thankful.
-Buxley -
*sigh* Well, I guess not every week's offering can be a winner.
I'll be skipping this one for all the reasons people mentioned above.

Quote:As others have said, and I can confirm, costume codes sold fairly briskly at past Hero Cons at $20 a pop. So just because you don't think it's worth $6 worth of Paragon Points doesn't mean everyone agrees.Originally Posted by Brillig
Ok, so you're willing to travel to San Diego just to get a costume code, but $5 for a costume code is too much.
Does not compute.
I'm very glad to see them made available. I've wanted the Rikti code for a while...

Quote:Oh, that's seriously too bad. Any chance of getting these changed to account wide rather than character based? Badges per character makes sense but auras and costume change emotes should be account wide so we can use them on newly-created characters w/o having to wait until Halloween next year!Originally Posted by Zwillinger
My sources inform me that it is per character.
Get to running!
Thanks,
-Buxley -
Sounds fun! I'll be there.

Quoting myself from another, less appropriate, thread:
I liked the new Signature Story Arc a lot, the writing and the maps were both top notch. I'd give examples (there were plenty, but want this to be spoiler free). I could have done without being exemplared down to level 20, but that's a minor quibble.
As a Rogue however, I did find the choice of rewards at the end rather... underwhelming. Yes, I know Rogues can't get Villain Merits but a choice of one Astral Merit, or 10 threads, or 22 merits seemed a bit light especially considering the Rogue-equivalent of earning a Villain Merit is *60* standard merits!
Perhaps up the reward to 1 Villain/Hero merit (for villains/do-gooders), or 1 Empyrean Merit, or 20 threads, or 60 standard merits, awarded once per week and the current lesser rewards for subsequent runs per week?
Oh, and a shiny new badge would be nice as well.

I didn't see a Signature Story Arc discussion thread, so I'm putting this here. Apologies if it's out of place...

So, I finally got to the point where I can log in to the forums by setting my account password on plaync.com to my existing password (Really?) but now there's a new annoyance: every time I go to the forums it requires me to re-enter my login name and password for access.
Since I visit the forums multiple times per day this gets to be very annoying very quickly. Why can't the forums remember who I am for months at a time like it used to do? (And it can't be "for security" since other websites, like Amazon.com for instance, are happy to remember who I am...)

Quote:This. Seeing things I know I already own makes me wonder if that cool-looking costume piece might be something I already have as well. So I end up buying nothing.Originally Posted by seebs
All I really want is for the market to stop showing things I've already got.
That kind of defeats the purpose of the Paragon Store!
I hope this gets fixed soon!

Quote:I have the same problem -- I cannot select Exalted (VIP) nor can I select my home server. So even once the servers are up, I'm effectively locked out!Originally Posted by Captain_Denmark
We have the same problem on two different pc's - we can't scroll down to Exalted, it snaps back up as soon as you let go of the mouse button.

And Buxley does his Happy Dance.
Is it Tuesday yet?

Well at least they've acknowledged that there's an issue. The Justice, Liberty, Guardian, Infinity, and Union servers are all down.
Guess I'll be going to bed before 2 am tonight.

Is it my imagination or did Dr. Aeon's introduction to this (well-deserving) story arc sound like it was written by... TELEVISION?!?
You know, Television is everyone's friend. Everyone including Dr. Aeon. You should be watching Television right now.
