First you have to get mad.
Mad as hell and not going to take this anymore.

LOOOOL.
I'm going through my picture archive and found another one.
I see things... things that other people don't quite see.
I see things in things like faces in places >.>
And ever since they revamped the RWZ and added all the NPCs & missions there, they had these new map layouts with Rikti decor inside.
And I used to see faces in the decor, and it always used to make me giggle.
The first time I went in one of these maps, I actually wondered if the 'thing' I was seeing would actually stand up and attack me. Then I discovered it was part of the decor. >.>
This is the object, and the face I saw on it:
Which inspired me when I saw a room full of them, of what they were telepathically saying to one another:
-
Not a bug (well except that fire/kin trollers were OP & some of them became ego-maniacs), anyhow...
This one time, in Atlas Park, this tard was carrying on like he was god of the game, lord of all fire kins, rulorz of the universe and then brought his ego to the forums and continued to carry on like said 'tosser'.
He inspired me to make a picture of his sheer awesomeness.
Enjoy

For those who have never seen it before, this video probably shows the delivery of the highest amount of damage the game could deliver reproducibly in a non-bugged situation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTAcSMg6gp0
That's the Protector server, doing what I suggested on the forums would be generating the most damage in a single attack: pulling Kronos onto a Steel Canyon building, and watching the detonation hit for about 24 million points of damage (unfortunately, no floating text).
We are crazy, crazy players.
I got killed frequently trying to put out so many fires... I knew the building did a lot, but had no idea how extreme!
Thanks for sharing the vids
Also I remember reading long ago something on the forums about a rumour of a time where someone had this 'nerf bat' (or was it a gun?) and they were attacking people with it in Atlas Park & it would make the victims puke?
I've been searching but can't find it -_- -
Positron - please watch this muppet video - I find it quite relevant to what has happened.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSkKjywFrCY
I love the (original) Muppets as much as I love CoH.
I'm not sure if you remember, but I suggested a power set called 'clown control' a couple years back, and I was actually serious about it.
Then I found out after my thread that you hate clowns -_-
However this video isn't scary, it's sentimental & the other clips before/after the song also time in perfectly for the recent happenings.
I hope you like it.

Lyrics:
Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air..
Where are the clowns?
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move...
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.
Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours.
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines...
No one is there.
Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want...
Sorry, my dear!
And where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here.
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career.
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns...
Well, maybe next year. -
In Port Oakes, behind the arena on the sea-side of it, there is a ramp being built and some sort of construction. I've long pondered with friends on this - is it the launching pad for the rocket to the moonbase? What were they building there?
-
Thanks for the opportunity to ask questions!
We all know that clockwork bosses are really just big shells full of little gears.
When the gears are sitting inside the shell - what do they do?
Are they pulling levers?
Are they arguing over which foot walks next?
Do they have random conversations about what transformer substations taste good, or who they have a *spark* for?
Do they have different personalities?
Also - why do hordeling (bodies) look like plucked chickens? If you roast one, does it taste like chicken?
Also - when the hordelings that sit all over the hills in Cap Diable, they sit down in a little circle and sometimes one stands up in front of the others and it looks like it's telling a tale to the sitting ones.
WHAT IS THE STORY THAT IT IS TELLING? I wanna know.
Also - what are the Goldbrickers REALLY seeing when they peer through the windows? What is going on that so many have to do this?
Who is inside flying the Arachnos Flyer in Mercy Island? The pilot has been doing laps there for 7 years. He must have seen some interesting things?
How come the outcasts never made it to the Rogue Isles? Were they afraid to venture in?
What is inside the tanks on the backs of Vazilok exploding zombies?
Where did the thousands of arachnos spiderlings from from in Saint Martial? Were they born from a momma spider or made by whom?
Whatever happened to Doctor Geist? Do you hate mad scientists?
Who REALLY has the obilation oscillthruster? What the frack does it do?
When the ghosts in Port Oakes get sucked into those traps on the ground, where do they go? Do they end up crammed in like sardines or go to another dimension? And is the ghostbuster theme really playing on the inside of it?
Why were there never any missions inside the fancy section of Port Villa in Port Oakes (all the fancy mook houses)? What were the turrets on the roofs for over there for?
Are Nick's delicious weenies really delicious? Why is noone ever inside his hotdog shacks?
In one of the office maps, there is a room with 2 levels (upper being a sort of balcony). There are 2 sets of stairs leading up to the balcony. This room is usually a trap - theres usually 2-3 groups of mobs on the bottom and another up top.
Anyhow in this room, there is a tiny side room up the top.
Inside that room - is a picture on the wall. The picture is a photo of a mans face, with 4 panes of his face, each in a different colour.
Is this picture an easter egg of one of the original coders?
Who is Krazy Mark (the NPC in St Martial in front of 'Krazy Mark's house of bargains'?) Has he ever sold anything?
What are the wailers running from in Saint Martial? Some run like mad around the zone, almost like they are frightened.
When you fire the Warburg Rocket, where does it end up?
The shivans like to say 'blurble'. What does it mean?????
The pumicites like to yell "Galapa Oog". What does this mean??
Who is flying the blimp in Atlas Park? What things have they seen? How does it avoid the Rikti ships?
Are the kraken a distant relative to (rotten) potatoes? Will they ever get dental care?
When Babbage patrols the backwall in Boomtown, does he ever sing "I'm so ronery" or "Noooo...body knowwwwws.... the trouble.... I've seeen"? (song from Spaceballs)
The swarm - are balls of hundreds of little insects. What sort of insects are they? Bees? Wasps?
When redcap bosses throw a little one that sits on your head an explosion goes off. What happens to the one that was on your head?
Just before a sniper shoots you (you know the buggers - the ones in Founders Fall / PI / Creys Folley) - do they whisper a motto before they shoot? Do they radio one another on the top of the buildings comparing hit scores?
Which one has a longer stun? Knives of Artemis Boss or Malta Boss? Do the Knives ever date the Malta?
Do you love to run along the upper roads in Skyway City, and use KB skills to send mobs flying into the yonder, just like I do? (omg I have to do this again)
What really goes on inside those carnie tents, in the carnie zone over at St Martial?
The Spetsnaz Commandos - why didn't we see these elsewhere and only in Dimitri's missions?
Ty

Thank you Positron err I mean Matt.
Thank you for letting us adventure in your playground, for listening to our ideas and dreams, and making even more fun for us.
Thank you for letting us fly with the angels and give us the tools to create our own unique characters and adventure.
Thankyou for the AWESOME events! So much variety and so much fun.
This has been a wonderful journey.
It was my first MMO, even I managed to adapt & become quickly a loyal fan.
You & the Paragon Team have raised the bar so high for MMOs, I have not seen anything else come close.
Nothing else comes close to the fun that is Cox.
I would like to say - I am proud to have been a part of your world, and so proud of what you all achieved in making for us!
I wish you all the best & that you deserve the best as well.
Also please don't forget to keep us informed on what you end up doing next. I eagerly hope one day you create another playground, where we can all have fun together again.
Your fish was the best darn tasting fish in the universe.
Thanks for the fish. Also - please, sir, can I have more? -
Quote:There's this NPC in Nerva on the dock near the ferry who pushes a barrel around. One issue he was bugged and would continue pushing his barrel, off the docks, and all over the sea then come back out of the ocean.Originally Posted by TheNet
Loving the your favorite bugs you are all posting. Let me hear more.
The snake egg bugs. In mercy there was a lowbie mish (Geist arc I think) where there were these snake eggs & you had to bust them open in a certain time otherwise it would spawn a baby cobra. One issue the eggs wouldn't break open & you could take your time. I remember madly panicking thinking I would never get them open in time, then i started to miss them not doing so.
*note* - I used to love the -POCK!- -goop!- sound that the eggs would make if you busted them fast enough. Heh.
The stupid sliding-along-a-fence-bug. It's a bug dammit.
You know what I'm talking about. You're running along with superspeed at a million miles per second and then you go to leap over this fence and... you get stuck on it, whizzing sideways. A super powered being. And not able to get over the fence. Sliding on it. Have to hop back off it & try again. *kicks fence*
The stupid trashcan inside the foyer next to the photocopier in the entry to the warehouse map (not quite a) bug. You know that bin. It's the one if you ran into it with superspeed on you'd get stuck in the bugger & have to flop about to get out.
The I-can-walk-through-the-mesh-fence-if-i-have-superspeed-on-bug.
You know those mesh fences? The chickenwire ones? If you have superspeed on, you can pass through the fence. Just bump it a 2nd time. You'll see. (I sometimes expect to fall onto the ground in diced little chunks).
That time the face-makers-face-was-on-the-side-of-her-face bug.
Man she was scary before but this bug made her even scarier.
The skirts all turned sideways bug.
My empathy defenders skirt is still sideways, I think it looks cool, the stars are down the front.
Wrapped stilletto boots bug. That one time, it was gone, and a few of us wrapped stilletto addics were OMG Nooooo....
The Tsoo-ambush-inside-the-tailor-building exploit.
I remember this one time, I exited my tailor screen & was dead.
Turned around, realised that a bunch of purple Tsoo bosses/sorcs/minions had run amok. Half the players were stuck in gravity holds.
Some level 50 tool had taken his tailor mish, in an 8man group, and the ******* had used wormhole to put all the mobs inside. It was a massacre.
The not-a-bug-bug when you TUK MAH BRUTES SHINY SILVER INVINCIBILITY AURA and gave me that awful dull one. He still sulks.
That time when all the ice in the frostfire map turned invisible. But was still there. Except you'd think you were on carpet but sliding helter skelter.
Except for us vets who.. sadly... knew where all the ice was even when we couldn't see it. >.> And we'd even slide on the invisible ice ramp >.>
The hidden entrance in boomtown where you could fly under the map in boomtown by flying UP inside a tunnel bug. Then float underneat and LOL at mobs and use KB on clockwork and Babbage bug. Just don't fly too close or he'd roflstomp you. It was funny.
The 'i logged out in the chalet bug during xmas & now I logged back in after the event ended & am floating in infinityyyyyy' bug. Until you moved.
The server is down for maintenance - but I quickly snuck into the costume creater 10 seconds before downtime bug. ANd then I could sit there during maintenance and PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY with costume ideas for hours. >.>
That time the LGTF had a map with mobs that looked like they were floating in the air in a cavern (the ramps were invisible on certain angles).
That time 'Bounces the Brute' went to Bloody Bay and ended up coming out in Paragon City... Long before villains and heroes could co-op.
Existing villain newspaper missions after a patch (and you'd aquired the mission prior to the patch/update). You'd enter but there would be no mobs. Run to the end, mission would complete. Look around.. wtf?
The elusive glowing pile of dirt you couldn't find to click in one mission in faultline.
That time in the Rogue Isles, in Port Oakes, if you exited your SG portal you would end up UNDER the world. And if you had fly you could fly up to the road, just beneath players, and barely poke out your head and yell "BOO!" We used to haunt players with that bug. Was fun
That time when your mastermind would level and BAM all your pets would die bug. Followed by my mm dieing. :P
Not a bug but fun exploit. When a succubus would confuse you. And then my plant dom would turn around and hold a team mate XD Except not so much fun when my boyfriend got confused. Cos he has an energy melee stalker. OW :P I'd hear *FFFFFFFFTTTTSSSHHHH!* (popping buildup) BAM! *plop over dead* Followed by me yelling at him.
Kiting that jerk ghost of scrapyard to the brokers bug. And watching him flop over and his millions of followers run off in a mad stampede.
That time the Crey Plasma & Cryo bosses were OP. I remember one with a flamethrower doing an attack & melting the entire team. *shudders*
That time the wyvern bosses on one of the villain TF missions had a super-OP version of rain of arrows. *shudders*
That Cap Diable mish where you kidnap NPCs from the skulls and take them to the Vazilok. And there is a cutscene. One of the vazilok in the cutscene would stand up & sit down, each time sitting down on a totally different object.
That time warshades had a glitch when changing costumes in crab-form, and would end up with new emotes that we didn't have access to.
The if-I-use-hover-and-then-/emote drumlow-I-can-lean-backwards-and-then-scoot-about-the-floor-in-circles-playing-my-drum-and-freaking-out-newbiews-bug.
Fun times If I think of more, I'll add

ODE TO PARAGON STUDIOS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUiTQvT0W_0
It's been eight years and seven months
Then you took Paragon away
I cry every night and ache all day
Since you took our world away
Since it's now gone I can do whatever I want
I can play whatever I choose
I can play Secret World or WoW or Eve Online
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong
I could put my hands on any game I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl, C-o-H was fun
NCsoft are a bunch of fools
A bunch of tools
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
All the hours that you played, mama
In Paragon
All died when they took it away
I know that living with NCsoft was often hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you.

(May the world of Paragon Studios live in our hearts forever and ever). -
*edit* np.
If anyone else can help please holler (I'll pm Leandro as well)
*edited again* Leo has replied to me & is looking into what he can do. Stay tuned!
PS - *hugs Leo* <3 -
You know what would be really good... (if it hasn't already been done)...
I have this idea - which I think is awesome - but I don' t have the ability to put it together.. i thought I'd throw this out there to see if someone else with the video skill/talent might be able to whip it together.
____________________________
Ok here goes. *concept*
Using this music - "Holding out for a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f_HsjpSVaI
With the opening and closing screen saying "Who will save the heroes?"
Then somewhere in the begining and/or end - something along the following message:-"a new menace has arisen, something that has threatened the lives and existance of every Hero and Villain in CoH.
With a video showing awesomeness of heroes/villains working together, saving npcs from robbers/kidnaps etc, fun emotes, events, defeating monsters, all the -positive- things please.
This corporate tyrant and heartless monster plans to erase from existence every super powered being in the paragon universe.
A terrifying count-down to destruction has been set.
On November 30th, 2012, NCsoft intends to destroy the world of Paragon forever.
The heroes now need their own hero. Who will save them?"
*edit* Also lots of heroes flying (not many mmos has this) and also maybe dramatic shots of heroes threatened by NCsoft falling out of the sky to their death (or something maybe)
Also any scenes showing LOTS of players (hundreds?) in the same area working together (maybe Rikti ship) idea being that a lot of people play together.
Also one of the scenes in the video to scroll text saying - CoH has a following of loyal dedicated players for 8~years, x numbers of subscribers etc, evolving game etc (positive 'sales' summary that might peak the interest of anyone powerful enough to save us).
And at the end when the music fades out - this big text comes up on a black screen:
"11/30/2012 - will you be the heroes' hero?"
Then we could link this video on every support page / Facebook / and email it also to maybe some reporting magazines, fanbases, and the others who we have been asking for help.
____________________________
Please samurai Michelle if you are reading this if you have time... or someone talented like her, can you put this together with the music?
I know its a long shot, but with actual game play, compelling words timed in the video & this epic music - maybe, maybe it can help to save paragon.
(I am blubbing, again.) -
^The post above made me blub, again. *Medi-Kat holds Skrunchie's hand*
The only thing missing is a shivan appearing at the end, saying "Blurble" -
After what they (NCsoft HQ) have done, they can burn for all I care.
They wont ever be getting another cent out of me.
(unless of course by some miracle they either (a) salvage CoH to be played again or (b) are releasing a CoH2 with a NA team). -
That was really well done and gee now i'm blubbing again...

You guys are without a doubt the best in the business! I can't tell you how sad I am for you. You don't deserve this. I want you to know that your efforts are more than appreciated, they are cherished.
City of Heroes has been a lifeline for me during some really rough times over the last 8 years. It's a place to play, unwind, argue with Math Smarties, and have fun. This game is the best of its kind. Good luck, and please post on your blogs, linkedIn pages and elsewhere where you wind up. If you're on the game, I'll know it's quality!
Also, don't let the clowns (pun intended) at NCsoft get you down.
You all deserve better.
I just want to say thank you again for bringing us a brilliant game, a lot of fun, a wonderful world and place that we could call our 'home'. A place we always look forward to going to. A masterpiece.
I hope to find you all again someday should you work on a new venture.
Again I thank you a million times. <3
(gtg crying again) -
Thank you War Witch. And thank you to the entire staff at PS.
You guys & gals created a wonderful world, a place of safe haven for me, somewhere I could go to relax, hang out with other people like me, where it didn't matter what I look like or my status, a place where we are rewarded for having fun with one another and helping eachother.
I would come home from my boring/sad real life, then don my costume, and escape here and 'just be me' - super powers aside - I could really just relax and be myself.
This is a place that I could fit in. And not be afraid. I think this is why it hurts so much to hear the news.
I always dreamt (I've had dreams since I was a child) that I could fly, and that I had angel wings. You have no idea how awesome it felt to fly so freely like a bird, and then one day you gave us wings. I literally made a *squee* sound (happy noise) IRL.
All the things you have added have just made things better and better. You polished this work of art into an ever evolving masterpiece, and for that I thank you and all the PS staff.
Thank you for everything.
I am hopeful you get to create another world, and that someday we may get to play like carefree children again.
Thank you.

Quote:How do I keep my characters costume code?Originally Posted by Leandro
I already have demo recordings of all my characters, which include their costume code. I also am very adept at making new demos from scratch without ever recording anything, which I've used to make videos in the past. Put the two together, and I have all the tools I need to visit my characters anytime I want i the future -- after putting together a ton of lines of code, of course.
Also I'd love to know how to do a demo recording...

I love it! Thanks for sharing this anecdote.
One of my favorite things about this game was the bug in King's Row where citizens would congregate on a slanted door along the street, and a huge mass of them would lurch up and down the slope of the door. Now, there is perhaps my favorite history plaque ever located there explaining how citizens were mind controlled by a lost Rector.
And there were hundreds of them, all on the stairs in front of Miss Liberty, swaying back and forth, fighting over their handbags with invisible ghosts. -
I'm still crying. I even dreamt about it...
I woke up and managed to not be teary. Until I opened the forums.
Now I am blubbing again -
*edited & removed my original post*
So it turns out I am an idiot.
It serves me right because I hadn't played COH much in the last year, and I'd forgotten what I had originally purchased.
I *thought*, that in the past, I had only bought the going rogue *expansion*.
And I thought the *GR Collectors Edition* was some fancy NEW version of it with NEW items and a free month.
Turns out, I bought the EXACT same thing (I had bought the GR collectors edition twice...)
/e facepalm self.
My apologies to the poor support staff who just had to explain to me that I'd already bought this before. I feel like a moron now lol. At least he was very polite, and he also offered me a refund.
Geez i feel like a tard right now lol. -
I'd like to give feedback.
This pack is lacking in comparison of value for money, in relation to the other packs we have had in the past. It only has 8 emotes in it.
Whilst the issue isn't with the emotes themselves, what I could see of them in the trailer made them look really well done, and a nice addition to the game, so my compliments go to you there.
But the problem is, the pack only has 8 emotes, and none of the other nifty features from the past (such as costumes, a possible temp power, or a costume change emote, etc).
Also, the actual trailer/teaser video for it made it hard to actually SEE the emotes from all the flashyness, and it didnt even let the emotes run long enough to see each one in it's fullness, so overall the trailer wasn't enough for me to get a real idea of what I wanted to know/see!
In summary:
- the emotes look wonderful
- the trailer was inadequate
- the pack is not good value for money, it needs more added to be on par with packs of the past.
Thanks
