12+ Fire Imps and a Jamba Juice nearby, and I'm pretty much good to go. Toss in a McRb just to be safe.
Ok, this was just an excuse to get my first (and probably last) FPARN. I apologize. -

For some reason mid-fight, I got picked to be turned into RuluCole. It was AWESOME. The camera angle made it really hard to fight unless I went first-person or tilted the camera straight down, but it was really cool to float over the battle and rain down giant bullets from my giant pistols. One of my favorite parts is that if I zoomed in just before it faded out my character model, it looked like an FPS with my pistols being held on either side of the screen. Unfortunately, due to the camera issues with playing a character that large, I couldn't see what it looked like when I did Hail of Bullets
I can not stress enough how amazing this was. Arcana and co. did one of the coolest events in game history on their own. I'm gonna miss everything about this community. -
I may not have ever played with you guys, but I'm gonna miss you beautiful bastards. GG.

- RulaCole is going to be in the zone attempting to transform the Battalion Barrier into a Dreamspace shield to protect Primal Earth from the Coming Storm
- Prometheus will also be in the zone, calling the defenders of Earth to rally to the defense of the zone. Prometheus has a special surprise for primal earth defenders: to face this ultimate threat to Primal Earth he has agreed to unlock all incarnate potential in all who have such potential. Anyone, whether they are an already Incarnate hero or just a beginning security level 1 villain will be empowered by Prometheus to their full potential. Prometheus will be in the Rikti War Zone about an hour before the event begins to give defenders of Primal Earth some time to adjust to their new empowerment.
[Note: that is exactly what it sounds like. Prometheus is going to grant everyone who enters RWZ full incarnate status with all the incarnate slots and powers. If you are not level 50 Prometheus will buff you to 50. But you will still have to train to 50 to actually use Incarnate powers, and you will still need to actually slot incarnate powers before using them.]
- If there are not enough players to form a reasonable raid on the mothership, RulaCole will expend some of his vast power to destroy the mothership.
- Either way, we're not going to be just blowing up a few grates and taking out a few Rikti. When the players finish off the Rikti defenders, someone will set the mothership's reactor to overload, permanently destroying the portal to the Rikti homeworld. Its unclear what happens when a Rikti Mothership reactor overloads. Might be interesting to see.
[Note: i.e. I'm not sure what we've planned will work, but if it does hopefully it will be memorable]
- Neutralizing the mothership and destroying the Rikti homeworld portal will alert the Battalion that humanity is up to something. They will push their advance team to secure a beachhead on Earth and accelerate their invasion of the planet. Expect to see Shivan assault squads attack. They will focus their attention on RulaCole, so players should seek to engage those forces at that location. RulaCole will be in near the heart of the crater and not hard to spot. Rularuu is usually not easy to miss.
- The initial Shivan assault will be reinforced by Kheldian slaves, and then the Battalion themselves. An unknown number of Battalion soldiers will be there commanding the advance forces. Unlike the Shivans and Kheldians, they are immensely powerful Incarnate-class foes with exotic powers. Players should try to team up to take them on.
- Whether the players defeat the invasion force and the Battalion or not, RulaCole will continue his task to render Primal Earth shielded from the Battalion. When he succeeds, the Battalion on Earth will be cut off from much of their power. They will then be much easier to defeat.
[Note: perfect balance is difficult under these circumstances, so the players may be able to beat the Battalion we have cooked up, or they may not. Either way, there's a specific cutout designed into the story to make it easier for the players to take them down at the appropriate time.]
- Mender Silos also has one last trick up his sleeve. He's made a deal with Hamidon to assist in the defense of Earth. However, Hamidon no longer trusts humanity. Hamidon will come to Earth and attack the Battalion, but will not be friendly to humanity either. Players can decide whether to engage Hamidon, or leave him alone. -

1. Oh man. Scrapper, or brute. Unsure on this one.
2. Favorite characteR: I couldn't say. Probably my first 50, Cripple Commando, a BS/Regen scrapper on Guardian. But I stopped playing him long ago.
3. Definitely Blaster. I never played a blaster past level 10 or so for a long time. Then Dual Pistols hit. LOVED it. Made my 3rd 50, Officer Heckler, and pretty much played him non-stop since the powerset was released until now. -
Holy swear word, DJ Jester AND CuppaJo? I can't take all these feels

Dat's a lot of codes. Got mine, thanks Paragon!
I used 359T-SKPY-832Y-L7ZY-L3RA, by the way. -
Looks like we (possibly) finally got the Cyrus Thompson Community Center in I24!
They moved the Cyrus Thompson statue across the street and put in a new building right behind him. You can't enter it (that I know of, correct me if I'm wrong). I don't know if there's any official in-game confirmation that this is the Community Center, but still, it's a nice touch.
It's really tall!
Unfortunately, there's a tree blocking the statue as soon as you exit the tram station, so you don't get a great view of them together

Huh. Did not expect this thread to get as big as it did, especially as late as I posted it. Damage control time!
I was kinda in a rush, hence the lack of explanation. What the griefer did was jump into Hami, get the AoEs to target him, and get back to our league before they hit him, killing us with the splash and chain damage. It happened several times, and led to a general state of disorganization as we tried to scramble back form the hospital, get our buffs back up, etc. In addition, he was taunting our league and our leader in Request chat, and had a name which I don't think I'd be able to post here.
Sorry if it seemed like a hate thread. I figured I'd mention Goon Squad, since many people familiar with griefers have at least heard the name, if not had first-hand experience. I was mad, and wanted to vent, but I figured people could use this thread to share some of the stories and commiserate and/or laugh together. My bad, everyone, I didn't realize that people wouldn't appreciate this.
And while I have no idea about how this thread turned into an Anti-Virtue thread, lemme throw my two cents in: I started on Guardian, still have my original hero and villain there and bust them out for trials and the SSAs. I moved to Virtue because it's far more active, especially late night which is when I typically play. I also moved because I enjoy staying in character (or at least attempting to), and role-playing while playing. I've got no problem with the folks in Pocket D doing their thing, nor do I care about their bio. At least they attempt to stay in character, unlike on many other servers.
And Ryu: To be completely honest, that wasn't even the worst Hami raid I've ever been on :P Thanks for attempting, I would have bailed far before you did. -
So was finally able to join a Hami Raid tonight on Virtue for the first time in months, and what happens? Goon Squad shows up. Keeps killing our league, we get disorganized, the leader ragequits, and it all spirals out of control from there.
Had no idea griefing groups were even still around in this game, especially Goon Squad. Didn't think they cared about us anymore. Anyone have any stories from the "good old days" of Hami griefing, or funny/rage-inducing stories in general? -

this patch be looking good, and i did notice the part about steam integration before it was removed (glad its being worked on at least lol)
For those that don't know, there is a way to see Steam's Content Description Records online, though I don't know the site off-hand, and I'm not sure if I'll be allowed to post a link to the tools to see it yourself. Recently added were two trailers for CoH Freedom, and one new game without a description called "COH LIVE". Good to see that this will actually happen! -
So, new patch on Beta today.
Quote:10 threads may be a bit too high, IMO, but everything else looks rad. Big fan of the guaranteed Empyrean merits.The Daily Repeatable mission reward has been increased to 10 threads from 2 threads.
Players can now earn two Empyrean merits a week by completing all Dark Astoria arcs every week. They can speak with Taskmaster Gabriel, who is outside of the Dark Astoria hospital, in order to claim these merits.
Taskmaster Gabriel will inform players on how long they have until they can earn their next Empyrean merit, along with which arcs they still need to complete for their next reward.
Adjusted the maximum merit reward in Dark Astoria's Repeatable Missions to 2 Reward Merits. This is attainable once per 20 hours. After that, each Repeatable mission will only offer one Merit. -
I'm actually kind of sad after looking at this list. Not at the repeats, but the fact that we're not going to be getting the Statesman TF for a WST one last time before he bites it. Am I the only one?

Quote:Kinda bummed about Spring Attack, that was my idea for a Smashing Judgement attack. Except, you know, flashier, bigger damage, knockdown/stun, etc.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I'd like a physical Judgement attack - like Nova Fist or Foot Stomp - or if they prefer to make it a ranged AoE attack, then some kind of body slam/shoulder charge like Shield Charge.
But until that happens, my Judgement slot will remain unfilled -

I have a good feeling it will be this:
The quest for the Spider Lantern will take you from the skyscrapers of Paragon City to a hidden jungle Arachnos base. ItÂ’s up to you to stop Lord Recluse from finding the lost Spider Lantern and uniting Arachnos for one deadly purpose.
Next we'll stop the CoT, lead by Darrin Wade for some reason, from building giant mystical towers in Atlas to bring back dead gods and absorb their power. -
My main scrap (CrippleCommando) and Brute (Robomination), both on Guardian.
I'd have some extra slots though, due to Vet Rewards, so I'd also be able to get my DP/Elec blaster and Kin/Sheild scrap on Virtue. -
