Great video. It made me shed some tears.
I also love the Babylon 5 music.

Goodbye.
(This had seriously been tearing me up. Nothing about this situation makes the least bit of sense.) -
I could never afford to make it to the meet and greats or any convention.
Zwillinger put a face to the Rednames with Ustream and TwitchTV. I miss him greatly, and so, so many others.
This is the best game I've played, and their is no replacement.

It's my 36th today as well.
I wish so many things to be--that simply are not.

It's going to be better for everyone (the community & the people still left from the Paragon team) if you only pay attention to information coming directly from the involved parties.
I've heard form someone about a multi-million dollar offer that was turned down. The party involved(whom I know) did not share the exact figure; this could be where the rumor comes from. -

Never again. -
That this comes shortly before a huge update to the game; one that had what we wanted for so, so long. Pool customization, the new IO sets that rocked the house...there are so many things.
The fact 80+ people all got fired on a friday
The fact that we'll not get to see the rest of the incarnate tree.
We'll never see what battalion looked like; unreleased art that by contract must remain unreleased.
The fact that all 42 of my characters will disappear at the end of November.
That I will never Fly through Paragon again.
The fact that this was my bastion for 8 years; my outlet when things got bad (I had just lost a good friend 2 weeks before NCSoft made the announcement to end CoH forever).
The fact there were--are stories that are going to go untold.
The fact an amazing amount of work done over the last year isn't ever going to be used.
The fact that on my Birthday I planned to put down a good chunk of money for Points for Super Packs 2.
The fact NCSoft ended a game that was going stronger than it had ever had, for reasons that are secret.
The fact that even if saved, the game will not be what it was before Aug 31. -

My time has finally come.
This will be my final official communication as a member of Paragon Studios and a representative of NCsoft. I've made the decision to spend some time focusing on family and the job hunt, mostly family
. While I love what I do, it often times results in long hours (especially in the weeks leading up to the announcement) and I feel like it's important that I spend some additional time with the wife and kiddos before I jump into my next great adventure.
I've got all of the squishy, touchy, feely stuff out of the way on the other thread, but I just want to reiterate how much being a part of this Community has meant to me. You guys and gals are amazing, inside and out. Much like the team here at Paragon, I have, and hope to someday again, walk through fire with all of you.
This isn't goodbye. I'm staying in gaming. I love building amazing online Communities around games and don't see myself doing anything aside from this. The social experience is why I play online games, and this is where my passion lies.
So until next time...

If there is a miracle and somehow CoH is saved, we reserve the right to change any and all answers given in the doc, to maintain suspense and surprise.

Hi guys,
Please keep in mind stuff that is "dived" from i24 beta, i.e. not actively being tested or even available, was currently in development and was not to be released for some time. If you're using some methods to find it in the game, you're looking at things that are placeholder, ranging from animations to damage numbers to damage types. Please keep this in mind and try to avoid criticizing content that's dived for this reason; we were working on a lot of things for many issues out, and there could have been months of iteration time on anything in there.

Okay,
We talk, over and over again about how extensive the character customization is. And most of the time we're talking about the costume editor.
Let's do a bit of "back of the napkin" math to run up a guesstimate of possible build combinations.
As of right now on Live.
14 Archetypes
Blasters have 13 primary and 7 secondary sets
Controllers have 9 primary and 13 secondary
Defenders have 13 primary and 13 secondary
Scrappers have 15 primary and 10 secondary
Tanks have 10 primary and 15 secondary
Peacebringers have, essentially, 1 primary and 1 secondary
Warshades have, essentially, 1 primary and 1 secondary
Brutes have 16 primary and 11 secondary
Corruptors have 13 primary and 13 secondary
Dominators have 8 primary and 8 secondary
Masterminds have 7 primary and 11 secondary
Stalkers have 12 primary and 9 secondary
Soldiers, at final level, have 2 primaries and 2 secondaries
Widows, at final level, have 2 primaries and 2 secondaries
1281 Primary/Secondary
9 Primary powers (EATS and VEATS have more choices)
9 Secondary powers (Again, EATS and VEATS have more choices)
4 Inherent Fitness
3 Static Inherent (Brawl, Sprint, Rest)
1 Origin Inherent (One of 5 origins)
4 Ancillary pool choices (10 pools, 4 each powers deep, plus 3 additional "third tier" powers in the travel pools)
1 Epic pool choice (9 pools, 5 powers, varied by the 14 ATs)
24 Power choices
67 Assignable slots
73 Alpha combinations (including "blank")
46 Judgement combinations (again, including "blank")
73 Interface combinations
118 Lore combinations
46 Destiny combinations
37 Hybrid combinations
Granted, a significant fraction of these are legal-but-broken-in-play or illegal configurations.
But I haven't even begun to delve into possible enhancement combinations, and we're already talking about numbers in the tens or hundreds of QUADRILLIONS.

Quote:I was spending more than that a month anyway. Damn you NCSoft; you clearly don't want our money.Originally Posted by HotFlash
Just a thought..............would you be willing to pay up to $19.99 per month to keep the game going ? ? ? I know I would. Let me know and maybe we can start a new petiton to show how many players would be willing to pay more to keep the game alive and maybe just maybe if NCsoft saw that they would reconsider with all that new cash coming in every month.

Quote:It only took them a day to close the whole damned studio.Originally Posted by Blondeshell
The thing is, since the game is shutting down, it would put NCsoft in a very messy situation if people still had a way to give them money, even while they might be trying to figure out what to do with the people who paid for more time than the servers will be available. I agree with their decision to just turn everything off when it comes to cash transactions, even if it inconveniences some players. It just eliminates a lot of potential headaches that way.
As far as making everyone VIP goes, though, I could see that happening later, maybe for November. Give 'em a little time to make a decision. It's only been a week so far.

Quote:Also, everything under "Content" does not have the "Buy Now" button. you can add them to your wish list, but the Cart button is greyed out. No one can buy any SSA (I cannot play Pandora's Box parts 4 & 5).Originally Posted by Alpha Wolf
I sent an e-mail to Skippy Sidekick about the Beta Store issue. The earliest that they can address the issue is on Monday.

You should upgrade to LED. They're much softer than CRTs.

It's still technically 9/6 here in CA at least
.
As a heads up; We still do not have final details surrounding VIP status or the state of player services moving forward. As soon as NCsoft provides an update myself or another of the remaining team will update and hopefully answer any questions you may have.
Best,

I probably will not like what they have to say
