    From what I understand it was late 2007, after NCSoft fully bought City of Heroes and started pouring cash into it, when the devs decided to begin serious work on power customization. Still, it'll amount to 18+ months of development time and untold man-hours. Any way you slice it that's a massive undertaking. Nothing is impossible, but 'possible' and 'worth the effort' are two very different things.

    And if none of this is possible with their i16 THEY DIDN'T DO IT RIGHT which is why they said they wouldn't do it. Get it? Either this is possible or they did not meat their goals.
    The level of ignorance on display here is incredible.
  2. Awesome party. Moving the CC venue to Atlas AE was a nice twist.
  3. You made the right choice, A_C. You will be missed.
  4. This was worth it to see that Statesman was banned.
  5. I was thinking Emp/Archery.
  6. Jolly good show, Tom and Cowboy. o_q

    Will the character creator be opened up to non-closed-beta testers at some point? Or will that wait until open beta?

    not only does it have two new rows (two more blue rows), some of the old columns seem to be missing and replaced with new colors...

    i wonder how this will affect current costumes...

    but yay for new colors anyway
    Different powers will have different color options. For example, there's a Bright Energy Blast and a Dark Energy Blast, both with different palettes. This doesn't affect costumes.

Also, Shield Charge is great fun, even if it isn't an AV soloing power.
    Don't forget Soul Drain!
  12. You're not stuck with him as far as your patron pool is concerned. You can respec into a different pool once you've finished his arc. However, you are stuck with him as your patron contact.

    That's quite a necropost.

    That explains the Pacing of the Turtle proc I got on a random earlier.
  16. Supply and demand is too complicated!

    If there's less of something it's worth more? What kinda voodoo is that?

    Or did you really hotlink the picture?
    What picture? I don't see any picture. There's no proof I tried to hotlink a GIF of Zoidberg dancing.

  19. I'd like some reputation-flavored jellybeans.
  20. I'm guessing it'll be minimal. I haven't seen a huge "I'm leaving for CO" movement.
  21. My fondest newb moment was finding out that the stores shown on the paper map the game came with were actual buildings you could enter.

    Also up there was finding out I could slot more than one type of enhancement in a power.

    Oh, and I stayed away from Hasten for the longest time because I thought it made your powers cost more endurance.
  22. Given what's been seen so far of power customization, this is certainly possible, but since weapon sets have customizable weapons already I'm guessing these are a lower priority.
  23. Well, apparently Hawaii is in Oceania so I get to say hi to the peoples on the other side of the International Date Line.

    I play exclusively on Champion, and I play Blasters, Scrappers, Brutes and the occasional Tanker.
  24. New issue announcements don't make me less interested in the game, quite the opposite.

    Right now I'm playing quite a bit, etching the memories into my mind, so that when someone asks "Hey, remember when we couldn't change the colors of our powers?" or "Hey, remember when we couldn't set our spawn sizes/levels?" I will lean back in my chair, eyes glazed over in introspection, then reply "Yes. Yes I do."
