On the day they merge the sever list, I will bid goodbye to my family and descend into an utter fury of alting and playing, not knowing what to do or where to go with myself. I would probably emerge about a week later with over forty alts all around level 12 on various servers. :P
Maybe they're talking about being closer to other game communities through the launcher, maybe they're not. I can at least hope. -
Quote:I don't think I've ever experienced this launcher application, doesn't seem too popular by the sounds of it. How on earth would it bring the CoX community closer to the other NCSoft communities?Unfortunately, with the ncsoft launcher, they probably mean the 'communities' of the different MMOs, such as Aion.
(Hey, I can hope can't I?) -
You spotted that too huh?
That and the move of our servers to the NA site have me suspecting something very big in the works. Might just get my wish granted after all. -
Quote:Emphasis mine.For example, we are currently working to integrate City of Heroes into the NCsoft Launcher, which will bring with it a significant improvement to the process of downloading and updating the game for all NA and EU (Mac and PC) customers. One of the immediate benefits is that all of our customers will finally benefit from the same launcher and the most up-to-date information; this is the first step in bringing our communities together.
If this means what I think it might mean, you have just made me very, very excited.
In other news, I'm hoping that a monthly newsletter and NA only Meet & Greets will not be the only way you're interacting with the community. Just a thought from your friends over the ocean. -
If I recall correctly, I seem to remember this coming up at a Dev Q&A. The reason why it was so tricky was because most Dark sets already have controlling powers in them and they wanted to make something more that just Dark Miasma with a few more holds. Can't check for links at work though.
I'd love to see such sets in the future though. -
Something about that screams 'Carnival of Shadows' to me. Is Vanessa DeVore's mask linked to the Well? Can we expect an Incarnate trial somewhere in Venice a few hundred years ago perhaps?
As for new animal skeletons, I'll believe it when I see it. I fear that Damz's prediction is unfortunately more on the mark. -
I find that different ATs have to use different tricks. If you're a high damage AT, just load up with red inspirations and pound on him. If you can get your DPS high enough, his regen can't overcome it and you should be able to get him down before he summons too many clones.
If you're lower damage, you'll need to take out his clones as soon as he spawns them. I found the Back Up Radio power really handy for this as he gets distracted by them while you take out his clones. -

If I remember correctly, he petitioned the BBC hard to get a part in the show because he's a huge Hitchikers fan. I'll have a look around and see if I can find a source but I certainly remember it being something like that.
EDIT: Can confirm it's definitely him, just can't recall where I heard the story from.

Quote:Plus you can double that up with Peter Davidson guest starring in that version of Hitch-Hikers as 'The Dish of the Day'.Incidentally, Georgia Moffett's mother is the actress who played Trillian on the television version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. A geek pedigree doesn't get much better than a Whovian-HG2G crossover.

I told Mechano that I'd be up for this and I still am as I need to do more rp on these boards. I can contribute a couple of characters towards this easily.

This news is going to make watching 'Time Crash' even stranger knowing that he's talking to his father in law...
-
Lovely thank you, I will do that.
Thanks for looking into it Avatea. -
Quote:You would be better off posting about this in the tech support forum but in the mean time there is an easy way to bypass the Updater altogther.
Create a shortcut to CityOfHeroes.exe then add -project "eucoh" to the end of it. For example, mine reads:
"C:\Games\City of Heroes\CityOfHeroes.exe" -project "eucoh"
I only use the Updater on patch days
Perfect! Thank you very much. I'd all but given up hope of getting it to work. -
I've been having this issue for the past couple of weeks but tonight it's finally fallen over for good. No amount of rebooting of PC or router is working.
-
Same here. It was wobbly for a few days last week and now it's completely borked.
-
Quote:Agreed. Whenever I saw his name in a supporting role on a film, I would wait patiently to see how bad he would make the 'star' look in comparison to his own exquisite performance.Kind of one of those interesting actors that is always around, has minor roles, but seems a better actor than a lot of the big names, ironically.
An excellent actor and a sad loss. RIP. -
I had a long post stating why this is great.
Then the forum logged me out.
So I just say: YES. -
Thanks for helping out a fellow EUer Leandro.
Hopefully we'll run into him soon. -
Gotta agree with Shadow there I'm afraid. Those trailers sell the game so well, I wonder just how many subscribers have discovered the game because of them.
As for me:
1) To participate more in open RP plots on these boards and not to hide away in my own SG. This includes trying again at large scale forum RP. *gulp*
2) To continue to highlight EU server issues where it appears that we're being forgotten about.
3) To actually post some of my artwork and other creations and shoulder any criticism I receive with good grace.
4) To get my Earth/Fire Dom and my Kin/Ice Defender to 50.
5) To apply myself to IOing my Kat/Dark Scrapper in a way that makes him playable. (He was my very first toon 5 years ago so I kinda owe it to him.) -
Quote:This is my fondest hope too.I wish the servers had a list merger. Maybe put some highlight to differentiate EU and NA servers but they could be freely accessed by either.
Anyway, still good to see some Dev interaction with the players so that is at least one small hope I can feel good about. -
True you can't and fair play, that list only mentions the higher populated NA servers.
But this and getting to test the Winter Event? I'm not the kind to keep score but the term 'neglected' springs to mind. However, this is pretty much what players on the EU servers have come to expect.
An EU visit would be nice but I'm not going to hold my breath. It wouldn't be good for my longevity. -
Quote:Any news of them dropping in on the EU servers?In a splendid show of still connecting to the playerbase, the devs were in game during New Year's Eve around 1am Central. SexyJay was on Virtue, War Witch was somewhere, Synapse was on Guardian, and Positron was on Freedom that I know of. I will be posting some pictures in a bit of the clues SexyJay dropped off in Virtue.
No? Didn't think so.
So certainly far less splendid for us then. Or, if you're an EU subscriber, business as usual.
