I have to work Mon & Tues.
Have off Weds & Thurs.
Go back to work Fri.

Sigh... next year a four day weekend for me though, damn trouble of running a service company

Star Strider Forces Registry
Name: Cosmic Herald
Global Contact: @Cosmic Herald
Level of Classification: 50
Origin: Science
Super Rank & Super Group: Leader / Crusaders

Why are we filling this out? Tell me it isn't that some one didn't die and their attorney wants to give me ten million dollars and all I have to do is give my personal information!

Bruce,
Where will City Of.. be going direction wise from a story writer point of view such as yourself?

Well I have to say that I am disppointed with the pricing structure they chose. I believe for this type service, $5.00 is much more in line.

But it is not my business and I personally doubt I would ever use this type of service.

Grats to more options (I guess).

I want to thank BAB for coming on and clearing some things up for us.
He corrected my thoughts on calendar year versus timeframe between issues.

He also gave us more insight to things behind the curtains so to speak.

It is this kind of communication that is also a two edged sword for us.

We have come to love the information we get from our team and when other information comes around ... and we get silence from our team... we get... irrational

MUCH thanks again to BAB for coming in and giving us his thoughts. It is very much appreciated by myself at least.

Outstanding Video !!!!!!!

Fantastic in the form, the way it moved and the music was spot on!!

Wonder what could be classified as "Wicked"?

Recluse?
Nemesis?

Would be nice to have City Vault, but not sure how that is classified as "Wicked".

Cathedral of Pain trial coming back? haha... nah, couldn't be that.

Looking forward to hearing what it will be.

I logged onto my main character:
I globally went hidden (to test it)
I was hiding from everything possible, all settings.

I logged off and immediately logged onto another character.
I was completely visible.
I *Should* have been still globally hidden but locally available.
When I typed in to locally hide, I noticed I was globally unhidden again.

This has been repeated for seven characters so far. The server side is not keeping track of the global hide feature any longer.

Seems they need to check into this ... or... I am misunderstanding the way the new system works now.

I know,
Was just informing Ex of a broken link is all.

Says forum not found when I click on the city link you have Ex.

I will add my grats to everyone here as well.

Now knowing the staff was at only 15, it does explain quite a few things and the direction the game has taken.

The Devs literally did a lot with a little.

While I don't know how many it would take to normally run and produce content for a game such as this. Their contribution is well noted and much appreciated.

Thanks to all the Dev's for their work on a great game.

Outstanding piece for sure!!!

You have surpassed your normal greatness with that one!

But Borts,
You don't need the infamy! You're already Infamous!

PS:
Send me the 25 mil in influence

Grats Lighthouse!

Make sure you have Jack and Matt and co. take you out for a good steak lunch!!!!

Geko,
I have to totally 100% agree with you on this!!!

EXCELLENT job to the entire staff at Cryptic for making 2007 a Very Great Cryptic Year indeed.

Now back to the design grind... anyone know a good way to pick a handcuff with a mechanical pencil, a Hero Clix, and a poker chip?

PMing Posi the instructions and design basis for handcuffs so that he may pick it open with his pencil

Okay Developers,
Speaking for myself, I find this abrupt news of it ending disheartening.

Not two days ago I posted a thread in which Positron himself said he was watching the thread. In that thread there is a overwhelming majority that asked to keep the invasion going.

I know we posters only make up a vast minority of the total game population.
Guess I just had hope they would have extended this event longer based on the 'minority feedback' which was positive.

Edited: The original post I wanted to make, I edited myself because in the overall scheme. It would not have made a difference and wasn't worth the flames it would have caused.

Good overall video. I'm sure Matt enjoyed the narration and did a pretty good job.

Wasn't James Earl Jones, but no one can do voices as well as he.

Good job Matt!

-Cos

Well I have to say that so far Issue 10 looks like a pretty good winner!

I will be very much looking forward to the invasion and all the rest of the new content!!!

Very good job on the surface stuff you have released so far Dev's!!!

Way to restore faith and excitement (although mine was not gone ) in the game that we all love!

I would be very impressed with the wings, IF, they didnt come through the inventions system.

Leaving something like those options up to random chance, or the greed of others is not my ideal situation.

Other than that, good job on the looks of them for sure. Something we have come to expect from Cryptic's art and animation department. Very well done on how they look and work.

I personally have never tried any of the other MMO's out there. CoH was the first one for me.
I know the fantasy genre is the most popular, something about fighting ancient animals and such appeals to the masses.

I could never really get into going to a city called Farnworthfloghavingnowater or some such thing. Nor fighting Adorkus De Animalwholookslikeapigus .
The names just didnt appeal to me.

Here is Paragon, set in modern times, with things we can easily understand, is my cup of tea.

Everyone comments on the costume creator, and I mean everyone does. It is a fantastic piece and the first piece we get to really see of CoH/V. From all I have heard, it is second to none in the whole industry. That is some accomplishment for a first time game.

The play style is what you make of it here. If you want it easy or have a specific goal to not level up that fast, you can go that route. If you want the AV's, you can go that route too. Many choices in how you play.

So I guess for me, they got it right. I too look forward to additions to the game, as I feel any game that doesn't add, will become stagnant causing people to leave.

I guess you could say I will be around till the servers shut down.

Still have room in the SG for one without much art, but long timer??

Jack,
First of all it is really great to see a couple of posts from you.
These boards have been without your posts for far too long.

I enjoyed that article, but there is one thing at the end, which I find a red flag being raised about.
It mentions that Cryptic is going to put into MUO all the things they wanted to put into CoH.

"City of Heroes was very tightly focused on moment to moment combat," Rogers says. "The Marvel game will have more big components to it. It' It's going to be all the stuff we wanted to put into City of Heroes and you'll get to run around in Marvel costumes. We've got more money now and more people. We'll add more depth. We want to take it to the next level."

[/ QUOTE ]

Is this hightlighted part really just a blurb in an article, or is there some deeper truth to it. If CoH is still enjoying Cryptic's full support, then why is MUO going to be all the stuff you wanted to put in CoH. What is left for CoH if MUO will have it all?

I love CoH and play it very often, would not like to hear that CoH will not continue to get all it should or could have.

Quick update:

Ms. Liberty getting Rezzed in the final battle is a bug and will be fixed.

When I first did the RSF, and saw that cut scene by Statesman (The character, not the Dev), my first thought was....
Ohhhh now we did it, he is peeved, this is going to hurt!

That is exactly what I am saying Lady_Athena.

I guess to me,
If the post would have said something like....
"I am not sure, just chiming in to let you know I will see if I can find out" ... would have been great.

Having said that, I still think Lighthouse does a superb job.
Having said that.. I am clamping up on this subject.

Lady_Athena stated it much more eloquently than I.
Thanks for the help Lady.
