  1. Nice raid tonight, y'all. However, Friar is right. The lag was atrocious. It took me a full three minutes just to bubble my team.

    For next week's mothership raid, I'm going to have to mandate that everyone wear costumes sans capes, auras, and / or customized powers. We'll see if that helps any. Sorry.
  2. Sitting in Atlas Park's Architect Entertainment building, laughing at all the AE babies trying to get on farms as it slowly dawns on them that they aren't needed to pad anymore.

    I seriously expect the QQing over broadcast about the XP nerf in AE boss farms to be epic.
  3. SOE. You know, the same company that published Star Wars Galaxies, The Matrix Online, and Vanguard.

    Oh, and DC Universe Online won't necessarily be free, but it will be subscription-less. I suspect it will follow the same model as Guild Wars.
  4. Thanks to everyone that came out for two rocking Rikti mothership raids last night! See y'all next week.

I'm not interested in investing my time in something that the designers think won't make it's second anniversary.
    Lord of the Rings Online offered the $200 lifetime subscription deal to those that pre-ordered the game two and a half years ago, and that's still around and doing well.

    Server therapy?

    Well, we really could use some group therapy.

    Paging Dr. Katz...
  7. I'm playing City of Heroes Thursday nights only for a while for my Rikti mothership raids. I've been having too much fun playing Champions Online, although I'm sure that will get old after a while.

    There was a level 40 character spotted on Sunday night. I'm sure it was played by multiple people taking turns, and will be sold on eBay.

    I haven't had any problems teaming since the open beta started. A large part of that is because most of my friends that have long since stopped playing City of Heroes are playing Champions Online now, but even then, I've teamed up several times with people I've never met before to do some missions.

    I agree that the lack of an ability to see other team members' missions is a bit of a downside, but that really isn't a problem in the first two zones as everyone has the same missions, and after that, you can share most missions as long as everyone on your team is near you and they don't already have it or have already completed it.

    Oh, well, in that case, she would be correct. Cobalt had the Pingus kidnap Battling Beastman just prior to a Manticore TF, and we all know you can't possibly complete a Task Force without him.

    Odd you say that. I don't recall Amy nor myself ever intentionally excluding anyone from our raids. Nor Stray nor Yuki from their raids for that matter. However, I do recall you intentionally excluding several hundred players from attending your mothership raid though. Huh.
  10. I gave this thread an appropriate tag.

    Plenty of folks will be doing both, and that's fine. Nothing wrong with dabbling.
    I know I plan on playing both, but most of my friends have either left City of Heroes long ago or are leaving, and will all be playing Champions Online exclusively, so I don't know how much time I'll be spending here.

    Don't worry about it too much longer. Changes are a-commin.
    That's assuming that City of Heroes will still have the same number of subscribers or higher after next week...
  13. I want to make a Kin just to slot Speed Boost with three run speed IO enhancements, sit in the Atlas Park AE building, and keep speed boosting everyone there.

    George Michael is one of my absolute favorite music artists. Say what you want about the man, but he's a very talented singer and music writer, and puts on entertainly good shows imo.
  15. Very nice guide, Silas.

    However, bubbles ftw!

    Hey, I paid $350 to see George Michael in concert last year, so $80 doesn't seem too bad to me.

    Of course, I live on the other side of the continent, so I won't be able to make it.
