    Except for a Fire/Rad Controller with no spawning limit on Fire Imps, of course.
  2. Wow, long time no see Nagasaki! Hope you've been doing well, and that you continue to do so.

    Nothing's stopping you from setting one up!

    Although I should point out that there have been New York-area meet & greets in the past, and this will be the first one in North Carolina.

    Basically, yes, everything that Texas Justice said.

    The game will still be fresh in everyone's memories and there will be a lot that's still worth sharing and questions still on everyone's mind. It might be a tad painful since the wound will still be so fresh, but I think that getting to meet many other players (and Black Pebble) who shared the same passion will still be a vastly positive experience.

    I was asked to be the point of contact on this Meet & Greet and to be the one who started the thread, since I've been in the Raleigh/Durham area the longest.

  7. Aw crap, I forgot to give him a tail, and also that I was going to make him a Spines/Bio STALKER.

    Oh well, the concept comes across well enough in that image.
  8. The Chupaca-Bro

    A recent shipment of goat meat from Mexico to the Jersey Shore had an unexpected cryptid stowaway in the form of a highly confused chupacabra. However, after spending a little time getting guidance from his distant cousin, the Jersey Devil, he was able to fit right in with the locals...


    Spines/Bio Scrapper (on beta, obviously)

  10. Is this still going on tonight? Yat hasn't made any additional posts or updated since his first...
  11. NCSoft also doesn't own our characters, they own the in-game representation of our characters as related to the CoH universe. They can't use your characters in any other setting and claim to own them (though they could probably make a film or another game set in Paragon and use those characters without having to pay royalties to players). Likewise, you're free to use those same characters in other non-NCSoft games.
  12. No! BAD Forbin! Do not feed the trolls.

    ...

    ...

    **** it, I can't resist either.

  13. Been there, done that. Been doing that for the last 2½ months, actually.

    NCSoft is not closing the game down because of a lack of player interest. They're closing it because it no longer fits in their business plan.

    I tend to be very brusque with my speech, even in real life. And since you don't have the benefit of seeing my face and knowing that I'm not scowling, it's hard to tell what tone I'm emphasizing on a message board post.

    Which is why I've learned to clarify when I think something might get taken the wrong way when in a situation lacking any nonverbal cues/context.

    On my Scrapper? Kinda. It's no real problem to get in, destroy a crate/tube and take off to the next one. I have to pop Barrier or Elude pretty regularly, since defense is his only damage mitigation, but faceplanting is the exception rather than the rule.

    But I'm also so used to playing a Scrapper that I sometimes get Scrapperlock on other ATs, like Controllers. And no, I can not solo the warehouse/lab on a Controller, even at 50+3.

    This. I don't mind paying for the game, as it is now, for several more months or even maybe years, but eventually I'd stop if there were no further development.

    ... Which is why you either follow the tanks, or play one. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but it's really not that hard a concept.

    This is coming from someone who tends towards a bad case of Scrapperlock and ends up faceplanting in the Lambda basements a bunch. I don't blame the tanks for not saving me, I blame myself for not being where they are.
  18. I want to be there for the Triple Threat run only, but do not meet all of your requested specs. Is that okay?

    Chad Gulzow-Man, @Chad GulzowMan
    Lv 50+3 Kat/SR Scrapper
    I have T3 Seers, T4 Warworks or T4 Longbow Lore
    I have T4 Barrier Core, T4 Rebirth Core or T4 Clarion Core Destiny
    I have T3 Support Hybrid
    I have about 10 Ultimates and can get a few more if requested
    I have Maneuvers (but not Assault or Tactics)
    I have 15x Focused Rage Team Inspirations (should cover for lack of having Assault)
    I do have Call to Justice


    I can work on switching Incarnate powers a bit if you need me to, but I'm not going to respec into having Assault when the team insps will provide a greater overall benefit to begin with. I will be happy to pick up some yellow team insps as well, if you prefer.


    Again, I ONLY want in for the Triple Threat run(s), not for RHW.
  19. Y'know, I'm still a little bothered by the fact that SatHam neither commented nor rated me.

    I DEMAND YOU DO ONE OR BOTH. NAO.

    Yeesh, looks like Cashiers is up in the mountains. Durham is down in what North Carolinians call "the piedmont," and looks to be about 5 hours away.

    Hope you are able to make it, though. It'd be nice to talk in person with someone else who actually bought the (useless) strategy guides.
  21. As long as you keep in mind that Carbine Studios did not directly cause CoH to get shut down, and that they're a group of people who work for a living and are only tied to NCSoft because they supply them with the paychecks that keep them going, say what you have to. There's no reason not to show them at least a cursory amount of respect, even if you do not intend to play their game.



    Personally, I was interested in at least trying WildStar from the information I saw last year, though I never expected that I would subscribe full-time the way I had been with CoH... but now I will never play the game as long as they're tied to NCSoft. However, I will also not berate them for that.

    Just like I won't eat at Chick-fil-A or Papa John's due to a deep disagreement with the way upper management runs those companies, I'm not going to take it out on the local restaurants by posting bad reviews all over the web for things that the local branch has no control over.
  22. You've been asking for it, and now you've got it, North Carolina's First COH Meet & Greet is taking place this December! Come join your fellow Heroes, Vigilantes, Rogues and Villains for a once in a lifetime event. Share your stories of bravery and fear.

    Unfortunately, the forums will go dark before the party occurs, but we've set up a Facebook Event that you can use to keep up to date.

    Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't want to live forever. Immortality just sounds exhausting.

    I don't really plan on living through my 50s, though I guess we'll see how I feel about that in another 20 years.

    This was actually going to be changed in Issue 24, which will unfortunately never go live. But you can go get Hybrid iXP on beta right now if you like.



    Where do I think they went wrong? Day Jobs.
