well that sucks... pants dude, I hope it all sorts itself out really well for you.

I'll get blaps earning influence to put on another event soonish

sure

1) The first question was somewhat confusing to some folks, how far from kings to perez, people gave all sorts of answers but mine was based on the road sign to galaxy from kings.

2) In steel canyon what does the shop next to Cookes Electronics sell?

3) How many cars are there in the car park immediately by wave landing in north independance port?

4) 109 yards south of hutchinson park in founders are some statues, what way do they face?

5) In PI, which is most northern facing zone of the arena?

All those and you had to be a level one to find them, I think founders was the hardest to get too for most people!

the answers... well go find them!

ergo the rangers are really the top earners... yay us.

that was nippy, you punk kid with too much time on your hands and a short enough atention span not to get bored of the same missions over and over and over and over and over... good job mate... might go intoduce myself to dreck with a couple of toons (or not)

It was funny...

Jummy bear wins 5 million for the scavenger "easter egg hunt"

Pyjamaman wins 3 million

Egg fu Yung wins 1 million

Chook won cozzie comp for 1 million

Sweet Zombie Jebus took 3 million for the pvp

Ginger Jesus got 2 million

And whoever frogue was got 1 million (the final amount was decided as god intended with paper scissors stone.)

now to earn some more influence and run another event! I enjoyed it, it was fun...

Prizes can ONLY be collected by the TOONS that won them, not by an alt, you can arrange the transfers with me during this week. Blaps will pay up.

Thanks to those who came, I really enjoyed it.

bout bloody time too, now what?

slight ammendmant to make the contest faster.... the first clue will be given in Galaxt City by brawler, following clues will be given in the SG base

Monday Night, starting at 8pm GMT I will be putting on a little event for anyone interested. I will be in Galaxy City, I will give 5 clues which will be of INCREASING difficulty to answer and the first person to collect all 5 answers will win the jolly easter egg of 5 million influence, the second will win 3 million and the 3rd place will win 1 million... but there is a catch

you must complete the task as a level one character, you may not gain any levels in the process of completing the challenges, and if I even suspect you of cheating then you won't win anything. To ensure that no cheating occurs all contestants will join a super group that I will be starting so I can monitor who is online and what is their location so no switching toons to one with a travel power, the SG will dispand after the event...

to allow everyone an insight into how they are doing, after every successful answer given a promotion will be given to the candidate. SG colours will be worn through the competitions progress.

So you come straight to Galaxy City with a new toon and join the SG, NO TUTORIAL. I will give the first clue at 8pm, players go find the answer, then come back, send me a tell standing INFRONT of me and then I will reply with the next clue. Simple eh?

At the conclusion of the treasure hunt there will be a RUMBLE in the area for your level ones, the winner will be awarded 3 million, the runner up 2 million and the 3rd place 1 million.

A further 1 million will be awarded to the player who creates the toon with the most apt name and costume for the event! YOU COULD WIN 9 MILLION INFLUENCE...

Blapper will award the prizes... but I shall be creating a special character for the event to be games master. (easter bunny girl)

Sign up if you're coming for a laugh and tell your friends...

Oh yeah, NO KHELDS!

my word, I don't even now the password to that account any more!

/em sob, truly moved

my sub runs out in july, and I doubt I'll be renewing it, I will register on the new forums, and I will be online occassionally to chat and see the odd ranger hit 50, scape, aero, shny, I'm looking at you.

Don't know why I couldn't log on, but I can now so thats nice.

As I've always maintained it is the community not the game that has made me love this game so much since I first signed on 12 months ago, and I shall be on the new forums lots... (it will be my home page )

My emotional health is improving and life is settling down into a more steady rhythm... expect this old timer to spam rubbish over coalition chat for a little while longer.

if you won todays hunt (solar blitz) then you can't win again, sorry.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah dont worry, Ill try to hunt you but only to hunt, not for a prize. And also D its influence not pressed cheese. But ill let it slide since your D and getting used to the game again

[/ QUOTE ]

and I gave you 5 mill of the stuff today...

who cares, go make one, make it the best you can... we believe in you...

Tomorrow evening there will be a hunt the Blapper challenge, some where in either IP or KR the 8ft tall energy blaster with glowing eyes is hiding, and if some one finds him within the allotted time window of 9.00 to 9.15 PM (GMT) they shall win 5 million influence. simple as that. there will be other competions for influence coming over the easter weekend so stay tuned.

Rules are simple:

1) you must be over 5 years old to compete
2) you must be a member of one of the 1AT Coalition groups to compete (Overlords, SNHS, Rangers, Cosmic Justice, Team GBH or Armoured Core)
3) first person to find blapper wins, the rest can wait another day
4) if you won todays hunt (solar blitz) then you can't win again, sorry.
5) its my prestige so my decision is final.

I will be thinking of other events to do for large sums of influence, none of which involve cossie competitions (cause scapegoat would always win )

edited for morancy, ty solar

Many of you know that of late I have been playing rather a lot but this week I haven't even read the forums really, equally a lot of you will know that I have been of work for some time with depression (including ALL the nasty bits it brings). In this time CoH and its community have been a wonderful escape and support to me but I have to move on a bit. Spending 9-12 hours a day at the computer both helped and hindered my rehabilitation (and made aspects of the game a touch jaded) but now I feel able to move on a bit, don't worry I will still be playing but for family and personal reasons I need to play less and broaden my current outlook in order improve my emotional state. As such my playing is now (self) limited to friday and saturday nights, but I will check the forums most days, even if I don't post...

So see you on Saturday (as I have mates over on friday) when Terra comes over for a mass gaming session... It will be a late one... see you then

AR/En with med pool is brilliant

tech 1 for a BB and Medieval 1 for a term

And I just stand there and get hit? Cool.

And I just face plant? erm...

Get online with DoW... I suck at PvP on it buts its a different pace to CoH and a nice change for a bit, plus no fees! I have to say that imperial rifles I have made might look the business but my skillz are not yet ze uberest as in the 4 matches I have played I have not one any yet (but only lost 1 outright), but hey I am a DoW n00bstar, the first expansion pack give imperial guard, the second one coming out later this year is Tau and Tyrannids I believe... am contemplating retiring my imerial rifles regiment till I have a clue and make a pick and neon blue army called the Scrapapocalypse with which to get pwnded with...

Sorry harps was getting spanked on DoW online... really tired and drained today can't really be bothered to play tonight as in my state of mind I would either fly around the base all night or get my team killed by not concentrating, will be on tomorrow...

One tired commander

also, update the first post or post a definitive description of allowed ats/powersets and instructions for the costume and colours

[/ QUOTE ]

POWER SETS AND CLASSES DEFINED

Battle Brother
Assault Rifle - AR/EN - Chapter Silver trim on pads
Broadsword - BS/Regen/SR/Invul - 5th Red in trim on pads

Scout
Ranged Scout - AR/Dev - As yet to be decided green on pads
Melee Scout - Katana/SR (probably best to reflect nimbleness but others are ok) - A yet to be decided colour on pads

Librarian - Chapter Silver Armour with standard pads
Mind/Illusion + Kin Controller/Empath
Kin + Sonic Defender
UNIQUE Storm/Elec Defender

Chaplain - Purple Armour with Black and Purple Pads should at least tip hat to the Chaplains in 40k
Empath-Sonic Defender

Apo - Chapter Silver Armour with FULL purple shoulders
At least 3 healing pool options chosen (one being rez)

Terminators - Standard colours Huge Athletic build (if poss) as tall as can be made with BIG robotic gloves, Purple and Silver as with the AR/En Marines

Claws/Broadsword/Regen/Invul
Invul/Super Strength/Energy/Axe

Commanders - Imperial Purple with gold trim

Helmets are currently all Purple with the 5th red along as the eye colour

The next unique build will be the CHAPTER HERO which will be the closest thing we get to an old school chaplain, Mace/Invul. The competition will be in a couple of weeks if anyone wants to go for it, the colours will be BLACK ARMOUR with Purple Details, normal Marine size, no helmet. The competion will be based on builds PM'ed to em and discussed by me and a couple of other judges, the build we like the most will get to have this unique Character in the SG and we will help you level to get him usable in teams ASAP.

If you're interested get thinking now about how to make a PROPER champion

Lol well we've alrady shaped the WH universe in the war log by trolls and supedine being far distant cousins of the ork...

How about this, the emperor eventually comes about as a result of the crey experimentation that they took from an Imperial Rifle who they captured, who was only there cause he was sucked back in time through a dimesnisional portal whilst fighting for the emperor. (Terminator series syndrome)

The CoT are surely the precussors of chaos (not the marine kind, but if you merge them with Rikti...) the Malta go on to develop the technology that is used in the Dreadnaughts and (for those who remember them) the titans...

other races are aliens (eldar and tyrannids etc) so we don;t need to worry about them... unless the Eldar appear in CoV

doulos stay as a blaster.

[/ QUOTE ]

awwww shucks, are you only saying that cause I don't know how to do anything else?

Discussion closed, we have what we have, lets stick with it, it works, the teams are fun...

I agree that classes should be limited on powersets, personally I think a scout should be AR/Dev due tot he inherrant tactical nature that scouts recieve in the actual game, stealth etc, TP friend should also be part of what they do, but Terminators can be given the ability to TP short distances, therefore a Terminator should only have tp foe and tp self. It is tempting to change a lot of stuff after all this discussion but people have already put hours in to their toons and I don't want people to loose enthusiasm because all of a sudden they can't be what they thought they were, if the Broadsword is a Powersword then is the katana a chainsword? If this is the case then BS/xxx are squad sergeant types and katana is a Apoc type or an assault marine (looking at what different classes are allowed to be equiped with)

Scouts can be equipped with a normal bloter, a flame thrower or a sniper rifle they are not intended for melee...

As stated I DO NOT WANT people to have to have a cookie cutter build, yes it is about concept but it is also about fun and surviving in the CoX universe, we have limits on the powersets for people already which can make a team work, do we really want to be so anal that we loose enjoyment from having to limit the already limited powersets we can have.... I'm just grumpy I can't have a dreadnaught, how fun would it be to look like a hercules titan!

We are back on the purple armour, I personally would rather stay a blaster but it was just a suggestion, anyway the reason for my post!

If you go through the temple we now have a library where the librarians can tell us all to "SHHHHHHHHH" pop on and have a look later!

Wel Electron, I already have this sitting at level 14

here is my proposal for a commanding Invul Mace, he might take a while to get going but the main thing about him is his precense on the field of battle...

not the most defence heavy tank but come the 30s he's a damage machine... but then I already have my energy tank who could take Bals place as a commander... what do you guys think? Shall Bal fall in battle as Wes take his place?

if you guys want Wes as a commander... he would look like this
