I'd have to go with Castle. A CoH version of "rosebud" would be extremely tempting.

Quote:Indigo and Crimson immediately come to mind as blueside contacts that might be more willing to "take a chance". And I'd be willing to understand if the Longbow and PPD in Atlas Park were not quite so understanding.Originally Posted by treboreleets
I really hope they don't force teaming on a "grey" character. I prefer to play solo (though I'll team occasionally) and I for one hope that "grey" characters can get their own contacts on the other side.
Right now, there are contacts that work with both heroes and villains (DJ Zero, RWZ contacts, Mercedes Sheldon, and some of the Cimerora contacts) so I don't see why some hero or villain contacts wouldn't be willing to work with redeeming villains or falling heroes. -
Quote:Indeed. It's not too much of a stretch to imagine that Wentworth's has a secret side business (Where do you think those trucks out back go?) and that not everything with them is on the up-and-up. And that the few blueside that know this tolerate it because it gives them another opportunity to keep tabs on things redside.Originally Posted by EvilRyu
The devs keep listening to people who keep using RPing reasons for not merging the market. Which is kinda sad because there are more RPing reasons to merge it than to not merge it. Personally though 20 levels for the change over is way too long and the fact that you miss out on key badges in that time(villain mayhems) I wont be moving any heroes to that side unless they already got the TF commander accolade.

First of all, thank you for coming on and clarifying a few things for us. However, I still have a question. You keep mentioning that rogues and vigilantes will be able to team up. But will they be able to have their own missions on the opposing side, or will they be totally at the mercy of team leaders? Or...will some mission contacts be available, and some not?

Niviene: Dev Digest we are still working on getting it up and running again. -
And so I sit here, asking myself, "Is it back up now? How 'bout now? Is it ready in 3...2...1...now?"
Curse you, City of Heroes developers. Curse you for creating a game that after 19 months I still want to play on a nightly basis. -
The issues honestly didn't affect me too much. A few minutes Friday night, a few minutes Sunday night, that was it. But I am excited to hear another such weekend will becoming before too long, hopefully with less mapserver problems.
I wonder if this should be a the start of a trend, holding a Double XP weekend shortly after the release of a new issue. Once the bugs are sufficiently worked out, of course. -
*Taps microphone* Is this thing on?
EDIT: Yes! She is alive! -

"Desdemona" does suit her better than the others. And it's not like it's unprecedented in comics for two characters to use the same name, even at the same time.

Not really. There are already two Romuluses. -

Very interesting Dev Diary and character bios. I love reading about this game's lore.
I'm excited to get the next Dev Diary to learn more about Praetoria.

If you all are nice, I might have even more info to share tomorrow. (That's the 16th right? I need to check my calendar).

^ That's what Posi said on Twitter .
UPDATE: Old_Gray, I'd curse you for beating me to the punch, but I should actually curse Issue 12 for giving Brutes like you Super Reflexes.

Would have been much better, especially considering there's already a Desdemona in the game.

Trying to make a majority of you guys happy.

Mostly you do. It's just that most of the guys who are happy are too busy playing the game to spend a lot of time on the forums. -

Pogo Stick power activate!

A perfect compliment to a "toy summoning" power set.

Honestly, I'd like a travel power set that'd actually make sense for natural characters. Perhaps some sort of mini-vehicle power: pneumatic jump, gyrocopter pack, motorcycle.

[ QUOTE ]
and meh on demon summoning imo. because we need yet more people doing demon costumes...
[/ QUOTE ]
Perhaps. I'm kinda wondering how many Malice Vundabars I'll see. -
Apparently I've wasted my life. What I should have done was create a cool game that lot of people enjoyed. Then I'd never have to buy my own food again.

The Four Treasures of the Tuatha De Dannan
Arc ID: 164100
Faction: Heroic
Creator Global/Forum Name: @Perceptor II/Chris_Zuercher
Difficulty Level: levels 30-50, contains 1 AV that you face twice, though you are provided with allies both times.
Synopsis: A break-in at the Midnight Club touches off a mad scramble as several groups vie for possession of the Four Treasures of the Tuatha De Dannan, magical artifacts by which they once ruled Ireland. Arachnos, Circle of Thorns, Council, Crey, Nemesis and Red Caps all appear in the arc, plus an odd custom group.
Estimated Time to Play: 5 missions. I've gone 1-2 hours solo, depending how the third mission goes.
While this story is fully steeped in CoH lore, it is also the result of some historical research I did in coming up with ideas for characters. The treasures are real legends, and the archivillain is a real historical figure, albeit a fictionalized version of him.
