How about a perminant zone event.

Keppe the streets low of BP and the fog goes away, the sun comes out and it's a nice zone.
Let them gather in the streets and graveyards, the fog and gloom comes back.

Give it a couple of badges for bringing the light and it'll be sorted.

On the plus side there's no farm broadcast and plentful mobs. As said above good for a 15min street sweep.

[/ QUOTE ]
sounds fun, but it has to be a place where the mobs are depending on your level like the rikti, so it's not an exclusive high lvl place.

[/ QUOTE ]

As long as they didnt con JUST white/yellow i would be happy. Seriously a white connin enemy is ZERO threat whatsoever in an event! Its a case of button bashing! Whereas if they were automatically made more powerfull then boo! Tactics!

Bonjour!

Hey everybody just wondered if anybody fancied inviting me to their supergroup sometime soon? The kind of supergroup im looking for is one that doesnt mind me only logging in once every few days (stupid real life ).

Activities such as taskforces/raids etc arent important just as long as the chatter is a bit "humerous" i'll be happy.
Let me know if you want me.

Character i want to be invited will be a low level fire/dm tank by the name of damz. Thanks for reading this and thanks again in advance for your replies.

Damz xXx

Even with the recent buff coming to them soon, is it worth building one with pvp in mind? Or is the chance of actually winning with a dom that low these days?

Cant remember who but they did mention that we'ld need both coh + villains to play the expansion (so it COULD look like CoR wont have hero/villain sides installed on the disk).

Q: Do I have to own City of Heroes or City of Villains to be able to play the Going Rogue expansion?

A: Yes.

Wish people would stop referring to it as CoR: it's not a standalone game. The acronym, if one should be used, is CoH:GR or GR.

Anyway, I think there are more people in the world that use it our way, because we have a bigger cultural reach right now - like movies and music, which non-Americans can get American spelling and words from.

So pants, shorts and briefs in that order of shortness

I think, seeing as though you can read and understand what I am typing, that Great Britain has had the bigger cultural reach in History's grand scheme of things - don't you?

Everything but khelds(assuming no temps)

Actually not so sure on that anymore, what with their damage buffs surely they'ld fair really well against certain AVs.

They could certainly survive the AVs onslaught, the only problem would be the damage which COULD be solved.

And this incarnate well gives us something along the lines of an awesome new power of our choice?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well lets just say he has sealed off the well which is the source of his "unrivalled power", now to defeat him we must get to the well.

A hero would destroy it/seal it to stop tyrants evil reign.

A villain would see it as an opportunity to finally get the power he/she needed to achieve their objectives.

Now isnt that a good reason as any to a moral decision?

She is aware of her relation to Stefan Richter and although she is fiercely dedicated to taking Arachnos down, she also believes that her great-uncle can be redeemed. This core belief in redemption is what drove her to form the Vindicators and coincidentally ties in thematically with our upcoming “Going Rogue” expansion

[/ QUOTE ]

This is the part that strikes me as the most potentialy awesome taskforce ever. Joining longbow to try and redeem recluse but having to defeat your own heroes trying to stop you who disagree and believe you have turned!

Well we already know that he is preparing his troops for assault so an all war/battle is almost a certainty, even if it is just in their dimension/new pvp zones in ours.

Cant remember who but they did mention that we'ld need both coh + villains to play the expansion (so it COULD look like CoR wont have hero/villain sides installed on the disk).

Re dimensional travel: There has to be something of interest in their dimension to get both heroes and villains travelling there. Say a well of incarnate power perhaps

You might want to go to the thread with over 120 pages over speculation/links to the trailer and everything

Oh and everything you just said isnt speculation, its confirmed

Greetings lore-hounds,

Manticore here to provide some definitive answers to your lore questions. The dev team receives PM’s about lore all the time. With Mission Architect coming online there are more and more lore questions popping up on the forums as well. Instead of trying to answer all these questions privately we’ve decided to start this thread. I’m going to be digging through my memory banks as well as picking the brains of Hero 1, Positron, and the rest of the devs for these answers and compiling them here.
Just to be clear, these answers aren’t set in stone. Feel free to point out discrepancies. CoH is a huge game and we’ve had many incredibly talented people contribute to the lore. We’re trying to get the record straight here on some of our trickiest plot and character twists. If I missed something…let me know. I’ll go back to the drawing board and clear it up. So let’s dig for answers, clarify confusion, eliminate contradictions, and have some fun!

Question Galaxy Girl's sidekick, Dauntless - Does he have a given name? Any history defined at all?

Answer: The archvillain Protean had learned the secret identity of Galaxy Girl and took her captive at the charity kitchen where she volunteered. Galaxy Girl lay helpless as Protean prepared to murder the trapped civilians. Protean was planning to destroy everyone that Galaxy Girl's life touched. Dauntless, learned of the crisis and rushed headlong into battle. Although he was completely outclassed, he fought until his last breath. His sacrifice gave Galaxy Girl the time to recover and defeat Protean, ensuring so many more survived.
Robbie Prescott first met Kelly Graham while delivering sandwiches to the office where she worked. After accidentally discovering that she was Galaxy Girl, Robbie was inspired to become Dauntless. He helped Kelly in all aspects of her service to Paragon City, never expressing his love for her.

Question Is there a story reason that the Malta Group chose to name their Titans after Greek Mythos (Hercules, Zeus, Kronos)? or were they named as such just because it sounded good at the time? If they were to unleash some new variation of these Titans, or other similar technology, would they again look towards the Greek Mythos for naming inspiration?

Answer: A lot of us are mythology geeks, if that wasn’t already obvious, but it also felt fitting for a group like Malta to name their machines of destruction after towering figures of legend. It’s very likely that any other Malta Titans would in fact continue that naming scheme.

Question Was the Family world ever given an in game Portal Corp dimensional designation? And if so, what was it?

Answer: As far as I know, there was never a designator given for the Family.

Question I've been questioned for legitimacy for inserting a Longbow ally into a mission for my story arc which takes place in November 2001, 6 months prior to the first Rikti War (#71601). My detractor claims that Longbow was created after the Rikti War, though my own research only says that the group was founded by Ms. Liberty to fight Arachnos (which has been around for a long long time, even before Recluse). I can find no reference to confirm either way. Is there a date or timeframe in continuity when Longbow was founded?

Answer: Longbow is a division of Freedom Corps and was introduced in City of Villains. It was Ms. Liberty’s solution to her disagreement with Statesman’s policies regarding Freedom Corps. Longbow is much more martial and aggressive in its methods. I recommend changing either the time frame of your arc *or* calling the ally a Freedom Corps agent.

Question So, I'm doing a bit of research for a Serafina origin arc (yes, spawned by the fact Posi wants to see it, but actually being implemented because I LOVE the character), and noticed an interesting discrepancy in Scirocco's information.

Here it is stated that Scirocco died early on in the Rikti War, making his last wish to Seraphina that she protect the heroes of Paragon City. Yet Scirocco's own information here states that he (basically) just turned evil and stole something from her.

Answer: The Order of the Four Winds bestows mantles of power upon chosen champions. Scirocco is a title that comes with the package. The original Scirocco was one such champion. The current Scirocco stole the power and Serafina wants it back.

Question Okay, I'm writing a mission chain called "Family Ties" centering around Ms. Liberty, Statesman, and Lord Recluse. According to the canon I have read, Ms. Liberty is related to both by blood; Statesman is her grandfather and Recluse her great-uncle. SO! Here is what I need confirmed...

1) Is Ms. Liberty's real name Megan Duncan, Jessica Cole, Jessica Duncan, or what!?

2) Is she aware of her relation to Recluse?

3) Is Recluse aware of their relation?

Answer: There has been some confusion on this issue due to discrepancies between our website, a web article, the Freedom Phalanx novel, the in-game information, and probably some other places I’m not remembering. Here’s a definitive answer which has all the facts lined up, as well as some additional information.

1) Monica Richter was Maiden Justice and is sister to Lord Recluse (Stefan Richter). She married Statesman (Marcus Cole) and they had a daughter. Their daughter’s name is Alexis Cole and she became Miss Liberty. Alexis married a man by the name of Patrick Duncan and the two had a daughter, Jessica Megan Duncan. Jessie, as her mother liked to call her, was always a strong willed child. Jessica Megan Duncan became Ms. Liberty and took on the name Megan (her middle name) It was suggested by others that Megan take her mother’s maiden name of Cole, for legacy’s sake, but Megan specifically held onto her father’s last name, both for her love and respect of him and her desire to move out of her grandfather’s shadow, and forge her own path of heroism. Other examples of her independence are the formation of the Vindicators and her release of Dominatrix back to Praetoria.

2) She is aware of her relation to Stefan Richter and although she is fiercely dedicated to taking Arachnos down, she also believes that her great-uncle can be redeemed. This core belief in redemption is what drove her to form the Vindicators and coincidentally ties in thematically with our upcoming “Going Rogue” expansion.

3) Lord Recluse is well aware of all the nuances of his relationship with Statesman. He knows that Ms. Liberty is related to him and would happily exploit that relationship if given the chance. The core difference between Statesman and Lord Recluse is their feelings about family and friends. The two men received mind blowing power from the same source and were both in danger of becoming detached from their humanity. The catalyst for their radically differing paths was Monica Richter. Statesman felt loved by the woman who would become his wife and Recluse felt betrayed by his sister. It is safe to say that Ms. Liberty hopes to bring her great-uncle back into the light.

Can i get a hell yeah?!

8 players who can play in sync? It usually comes down to the player who plays the character more than AT or powersets.

Not as unbeatable team but I want to see a team of 4 or 5 (each AT) face every challange in this game. Maybe will start it someday.

[/ QUOTE ]

Are you thinking what im thinking? A week long challenge?

Day 1: Full man team taking on certain AVs

Day 2: Mothership raid

Day 3: AV hunt in RV

Day 4: Lusca/gm killing

Just goes to show really, that the majority of there devs are currently working on the paid expansion. The free issue's team is probably REALLY tiny at the moment...

[/ QUOTE ]

Usually i would be against this, but with the potential of CoR i would have to say this is a good thing.

Hopefully all the extra team on it will finally show the true potential of this game.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not going to commit to it being a good OR bad thing, personally. I just hope that, once CoR is released, the free issues team gets bigger again... If I16 is as lackluster as I15, I can't see people reacting well.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh believe me if issue 16 is ANOTHER QOL issue and we have little information about how big CoR is then i will be one of the ones who raise their voice too. 4 QOL issues will be a step too far UNLESS they reveal a lot of detail and not keep it as "good things soon".

I15 is just a small patch with a new TF, what's the big deal about it?

[/ QUOTE ]

We were all led to believe it was the "next big issue" when they knew it wasnt Thats a good point actually, have they confirmed that issue 16 is the big one?

[ QUOTE ]
8x Fire/Rad?

[/ QUOTE ]

What happens when you face against a mob with a lot of AoEs/mezzes? Can a team of fire/rad really survive anything powerfull and unexpected?

They're strong but imo nowhere near the ideal/unbeatable team.

Lets be honest here for a second, we all have walked alongside a riverbank with our girlfriend and we've wandered off into our own little world while she talks [she dont read these forums so im safe], thinking about what exactly would be the ULTIMATE team outfit that could face any obstacle and win [note win, not not lose].

Well we can assume in a few months we'll finally be able to do this so lets discuss! The ULTIMATE team format to take on any challenge!
[*] Willpower/dark melee tank[*] illusion/thermal controller[*] Arachnos soldier[*] fire/fire blaster[*] bots/ff mastermind[*] fire/dark scrapper[*] Warshade[*] fire/rad corrupter

To explain my choices, you have your defensive ATs which will boost all your teams def/keep them alive, with the frontline ATs all capable of self buffing greatly in a large spawn.

[sneak edit: Sorry to everyone i team with in the next few days, internet keeps crashing every few minutes and cant figure why!]

[ QUOTE ]
Shouldn't this be in the questions section?

[/ QUOTE ]

There is no ANSWER. It is a thread for discussing what people believe the archetypes that can solo an AV are.

[/ QUOTE ]

Any AT can solo any AV. Some ATs just need more time on their build than others

Oh and illusion/rad . . . . . the "cant believe the rest of the team died against this AV!!!"

[ QUOTE ]
better yet, if you die in a mission a random enhancement gets dropped by 1 level. any enhancement that hits 0 is gone for good.

now lets see what fully purpled toon is willing to rush in regardless of the odds

[/ QUOTE ]

Purples are fixed at one level so wouldnt affect us in any way whatsoever

Anyway im all for bringing back the good old debt!

Bonjour pessy!!!

[ QUOTE ]
Targeted AoEs I stand by my comment saying there pretty useless, because there difficult to aim and by time you clicked to fire the persons already moved on.


[/ QUOTE ]

If your in a pvp zone and have trouble getting the time to target the player then you are doing it wrong. No self respecting pvper in a zone would stay still so what you have to do is create a trap/diversion for them. Pvp basics!

[ QUOTE ]
In Rain of Arrows you also have the long animation to go with it.

[/ QUOTE ]

When was the last time you saw (in a pvp zone) a blaster use their tier 9 in a serious fight?

[ QUOTE ]
TP yes, you can use it but its not often your not underfire if your pvping, and the waiting time is kind of silly, I meant SS,SJ and fly are much easier to manage because there toggles.

[/ QUOTE ]

TP is not supposed to be a get out of jail free card. Its better used as an ambush attack. Fly high above the player when they havent noticed you then tp right into their face!

I dont say this often because im nowhere near the skill of some of the pvpers in this game but i think even i could defeat you if you look at each power in the same catergory the same

I'll wait for your "glue arrow is broken" thread since if a stalker gets hit with glue arrow they are a gonner

Taking a wild wild wild guess here but does the fact that its status resistance not protection the giveaway? or am i pointing at the wrong fish?
