Manticore, I was wondering if, like the Kheldians, will all of the future Epic Archetypes be part of the continual story of City of Heroes and City of Villains? What I mean is that in the game CoH, we already played out stories featuring the Kheldians as minor roles in the game. One story that sticks out in my mind is the "To Save a Thousand Worlds" arc.

If we already knew about Kheldains to a slight degree (their ability to be in symbiotic relationships), will we, the players, know about the other Epic Archetypes in story arcs or task forces before they ever become playable?

Good theory.

I know how he got the power to "teleport" his arrow. There is no indication that he can do that to himself. Also, that would be a really cool graphic to have projectiles phase through or teleport past things.

It's not a theory if you can prove it.
And this is why I'm called a Manticore fan.

Actually, he DID gain a superpower when the flame of Prometheus was releshed upon him...

..and if you were going for sarcasm...yeah, I failed to see it.

BTW, I was going to ask this sooner, but if CoV forums don't open during beta, could you keep this thread stickied so beta-ers can post stuff about the game here?

[/ QUOTE ]
This section will likely remain as-is during CoV beta, but discussion of the details of the active closed beta prior to it going to 'open beta' status will be verboten. Word to the wise.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep. As was done with the CoH beta, CoV will most likely have a "secret" forum for those in the beta to post bugs, glitches, questions, praises and cries.

This:

"We are planning an August release date. -George Vasilakos Zombielord Eden Studios"

Is from these forums.

So that would be nice.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks, mate.

As am I! Is it even out yet? I've been looking, but to no avail. To Google, I say!

More from me:
Aurora Dionysys (fire/FF controller)
BA Lucius(? I know it was Luc___ ) 40K (assault/dev blaster)

It's BA. Lucifer 40k

I don't think I like the whole "everyone in the zone loses their powers part". What kind of spell can stop EVERYONE's powers regardless of what their source is?
Turns off a mutant's genes, stops a tech hero's armor from functioning, strips the power from magical artifacts, keeps magic heros from casting spells, somehow keeps the changed body chemistry/whatever of science heros from functioning, strips kheldians of their natural alien abilities....

So we get the cop out "a wizard did it".

[ QUOTE ]

Q.How can Super Intelligence be used? How would my character be different with it, than without it?
A.Super Intelligence will be very advantageous for skill-based heroes—those that use a lot of items. They will be able to figure out and use their skills more quickly and effectively.

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]

Q.How many powers can I have?
A.The number of powers you can have depends on the origin you choose but the range is between 3 and 8.

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]

Q.So what are skills then?
A.Skills are used to successfully attack and inflict damage with a power, or perform non-combat operations such as lock picking and bomb disarming.

and i also found.........


THIS *dum dum dum!*

[/ QUOTE ]

!!! I OWE YOU! The last web page...I...I've been looking for it OH SO LONG. The original Coh.com site...mm....now to compare!

[ QUOTE ]

the powers in the blaster melee set were the exact same ones in the tanker secondary set (minus mace, axe, and super strength)


[/ QUOTE ]

Want to take that back with the bit on Super Strength?


I remember the "Weapon Mastery" powerset.

I remember the MANY changes to Gravity Control.

I remember the bug that made the water in Perez Park red.

I remember the bug that made it so that all the enemies in Outbreak spawned OUT of the energy barrier walls.

I remember how to get past the energy barrier walls in Outbreak is kill those contaminated.

I remember when the police drones were broken and an ambush of Freaks sat at the Perez Park/AP entrance.

I remember when people called me crazy for NOT making FotMs...and now how those same people call others crazy FOR making them..ah....ironic, eh?

I remember when you could attack with Personal Force Field.

I remember a certain trainer missing his hands for awhile....

I remember this website back when it had the powers of "temperature control" and "fire control"....before there were ever ATs.

I remember watching the video of Jack playing CoH at E3 and thinking to myself "Wow....now THAT looks fun!".

I also remember when blaster no longer had "melee" but "support".

I remember when there 3 servers....but only 2 (Prime and Pinnacle) were online...and Justice never went up.

Heck! I remember there being only Prime!

I remember looking at the map that came with the game and, looking at Talos, thinking "Wow...I wonder what those creatures must be!".

I remember when my name was first taken on another server. (Whoever took 'Celtic' on Pinnacle...you'll pay for that!)

I remember getting new graphics card and looking at my costumes...only to see that they were NOTHING like what I wanted and hoped for a way to change them.

I remember the dance party on top of iCon when it was introduced on the Test server.

I remember the original site banner and the scrolling in-game heroes.

I remember when enervating field had damage with it.

I remember being able to solo at level 8 in brickstown with hover and enervating field.

I remember when the black costumes had pink on them.

I remember being the first person to fly UNDER perez park...and I remember the people who petitioned me for attacking their mobs from under the lake.

Ah...beta....such a fun time that was.

*sigh* About the comments on ice/storm....I can tell you...that is all true.

I was on a team..I think...yesterday evening. It was full of enemies, and I'm only level 19 with the controller, so, I was thinking of different ways to control them....then...I looked at my powers, and realized the easiest way:

Wait for the tank to gather all the mobs into a close proximity of one area...then...lay down an ice patch. Once, all the enemies are focused on him, and now being all knocked down, put out a freezing rain to increase our damage. Then, with steamy mist already up, I just went near the edge of the ice patch and went afk for about a minute....just reading. When I looked back up, the last enemy fell and nobody was hurt once.


Lazy? But of course.

GRAH!

I was going to go (I even have the pink paper taped to my computer) to WonderCon...however.....I HAVE A SURGERY!

*shakes fist into the air* Why do you tease me so?!
