    To all of you...

    I cant post in the main thread (no VIP account, atm, or anymore ) so, here will have to do.

    The gaming world has lost its Grandfather today, it will live on in our hearts and minds forever thanks to the great community, that I'm proud to be a part of (all be it in a very small way).

    City of Heroes was my first MMO, and I always thought it would go forever. The ability to drop in, do a few missions and drop out is what kept me here, there was never any pressure to be the best of the best.

    To The Dev Team: You guys where the best, always willing to engage the community, take on suggestions and listen to problems like it was life or death and I wish you all luck with your future, you are all very talented people and I know you will find it easy to move on to other jobs (just please, don't go to zynga lol).

    Goodbye City of Heroes, I will wear my Player Summit 2011 T-Shirt with pride.
  2. Gratz Guys! At least there's some good news this week from the DDRUK years :P

    *makes a note to buy the wedding pack* :P

    Ahh, those where the days, I still have the video I made kicking about somewhere - and I would love to do it again

    But we did it lol and we made history, even though we didnt get many yeys for it lol

    Besides, were all probbly IOd out with uber damage/healing/tanking/computers - would be much faster now than it was in 2006 lol
  6. Hey preachmoore, i'll add your name to the list.

    Keep your eye on here to see if it goes ahead

    *nods* it was, but i have a much better one now, one with no client lag what so ever hehe

    would be better with the new motherboard in it though
  8. I had a perfect connection...

    The computer however, was a pile of wank lol
  9. Dr Quaterfield is the killer - 4 Hunts (50 each), 6 Defeat All's, 24 Missions, The only one where your shot down to level 44 and 111 Reward Merits for it all.

    It is possible to do the 4 within 12 (say 15 just incase lol) hours with IO's and Jetpacks for speedsters and even the mission teleporter power coupled with recall friend/assemble the team.

    To be totally honest, although its possible, to do i dont think it can be done, at least this year. It takes 7 (8 including me) dedicated people and its shocking to expect people to take 24 hours out of real life for this.

    Oh and Kendai, it took about 19 hours because i wasn't level 50 at the time (i was using it as a springboard to 50) thats the only reason

    With IO's it could take less time (My AR/NRG blaster is fully kitted out) and with the right team even less

    Bit of linkage to see what your getting yourself into lol:

    http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Justin...ine_Task_Force
    http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Faathi...ind_Task_Force

    It is possible to do, just need 5/6 more people to say yes and St_Angelius to fully say yes and GG to hopefully say yes too

    Mebbies have a dry run of the Dr Quaterfield one day to gage how long each will take
  11. Hi Kendai and St_Angelius

    Before you commit to this, I have to tell you that it WILL be hard, its literately 4 of the longest task forces in 24 hours with no real brakes in between (10-15mins here and there and coffee and bio brakes when needed)

    So yeah, have a think about it. Psy, Gonk and GG will probably tell you what it was like first time around if you ask nice enough lol
  12. Hell yeah im crackers - gotta admit it would be fun though
  13. This isnt gonna happen, i would love it to but its a mammoth task.

    Unless there are some new people who want to try

    Getting up at 6am to sneak down to the pool, collect all the towels "reserving" the sunbeds that were placed there at about 2am, and chuck the lot into the pool is a pain!
    I better not tell you that they can reserve them online before the even get to the resort now lol

    Am i the only person who read this as the EU servers wont be getting double xp after I16?
  18. Wasnt ment to sound that way your thinking about it makes me want to do it more is all
  19. Back on the very 1st ever Double xp weekend, myself and 7 other crazy heroes ran 3 of the 4 Shadow Shard task forces, back to back, in 1 night - a very fun, if not hard night that was.

    After speeking with Golden Girl, I want to do it all over again, the 4 sstf's in 1 night - with the original team (or others if some of the original 8 cant make it)!

    Couple of things, There is no date set, only a day - Saturday (It is Task Force Saturday after all lol) and a time, between 9am and 11am (GMT/BST) for the start.

    So, what you think? Im i crazy or will it be possible and will the original team want to do it again... lol

    Post thoughts, comments, "yes i want to do it" stuff and i'll see what happens

    *or something like that lol*
  20. if beaver is a banned word, im walking out the door now lol
