So I was playing my lvl 41 Staff/WP Brute and wanted to log him out in the PPD building for the day job patrol xp bonuses. I was in PI at the time, so I went inside that particular PPD building and then BAM! I was in first person mode; and it looked like I fell through the map (but not all the way).

So at first I was like, "okay...." and tried to zoom out but no go.

My screen looks like this:





I tried logging out and then back in and the view is the same.


I'm able to run, fly, walk etc...like normal but the view is like that no matter what I try.

I /bug'ed and sent in a /petition but...just wanted to throw it out here...don't go in the Peregrine Island PPD building! :P



I was going to get a lowbie to the PI PPD building to see if it happens again but..alas, when I logged into a totally new character I had the same view


Edit:


Okay so it wasn't a "brand new toon"....a lvl 1 I had made for a name reservation...I just made a brand new toon and no camera issues for him....walk into the PPD PI building and no issues.... scared to try other toons that I want to play with...

Well, a lvl 50 villain is okay and one of my lvl 50 heroes is good....wonder why my lvl 1 villain toon that is a placeholder for a future toon is messed up? :|




2nd edit:


Ooookay....that's weird.


So logging out and then back in didn't help the toon...

But logging out, exiting the game and re-launching fixed the issue on my original toon (staff/wp brute)....whatever.

So I just finished watching the movie.


It was okay but...meh...definitely had the "just watched this" feeling from it...


Didn't really have that much fighting/action in it, to me at least...*shrugs* Which I guess is "normal" for "origin stories".

Ah okay.

So on FB City of Heroes put up a picture of Water Blast:




My question is:


Where is the action taking place? I don't recognize any of the visuals/buildings...part of a revamped Kings' Row, IP? Or just a section of Praetoria that I don't recall since I don't play there that much?

I think I'll be seeing this movie tonight w/a friend.


We'll see how it goes...

I agree, thanks for 'dumping' the Friday part of Freebie Fridays

I gotz the hat!

And even if you could put it in hurricane, doesn't hurricane do a repel effect and not technically KB? So it wouldn't work anyways, yes?

I have a DM/DA Tanker that does pretty well on all iTrials. He's died a few times but that may have been due to my ability to talk/chat instead of clicking on my heal power


He has t4 Barrier on top of DA's great resists (and have him IO'd for 45% s/l def atm)...


The times that I've died on him were:

In the UG:
* From Olympian Guardians PBAoE almost-auto-hit nuke/stun
* Of course Avatar (mainly from the darn -end/recovery debuffs dropping my toggles and then killing me)

In MoM:
* Mainly because the one time I led it with my tanker, I had way too many lvl 50s or 50+1s...so...yeah...

In Mag.:
* All those Commanders doing Energy damage (my least resisted dmg type). But only died once or so.
* From the 3 AVs because of the -healing received debuff/power



Beyond that he's pretty sturdy

I liked the video. I'll agree with what others have said that CoH doesn't have too much power creep in it.

Yes the Incarnate stuff does have it to some degree (the lvl shifts are the biggest red flag) but overall; not bad.

I agree with Arcanaville, and have stated before as well, that there should be other ways to complete missions. Why can't controllers/doms hold a mob to "defeat" him and get xp? Why can't there be side-objectives to heal NPCs and keep them alive but never attack the mob(s)?

I remember reading a review for, I think, Superman 64 (for the N-64 ) and they said (paraphrased), "since supes is basically invulnerable, instead of giving him a health meter and worrying about some thug beating you up, we gave the city a health meter."

I never played the game (think it was rated poorly due to bugs) but the whole "save people from x" or "put the fire out" may be better for some ATs (player controlled toons) than others.


Edit:


As far as new incarnate slots I really hope the devs continue to limit the newer iTrials. But not just by "needing to unlock" destiny/lore (or Hybrid) but actually slotting the t3 ability so that at least the person is lvl shifted and can be of some help. *shrugs*

I still wish we could see who is in the queues for trials. That way if I see 3 scrappers (tankers, etc...) in the queue I know I should swap and get a debuffer/buffer


I did the SE once with a stalker, brute (me), tanker and scrapper. We did it but it was painfully slow (darn Sylvia Roxeman (sp?) AV took forever).

I'll just agree with what others have said.

I think most play this game because it's "fun"; what fun means is different to others but I see that big behemoth of a game being attractive to some is the company name behind it as well as "well my rl friend is there..."


As others have said, there's no real competition....about the closest thing we have is badging and seeing which server(s) gets the hardest badge first
