I agree on getting 3rd party communication set up. If the forums drop, we'll be SOL on getting in touch with one another.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the servers did come down before the announced date. The closing of Paragon Studios just feels so wrong that not following through on the claim that the servers will stay up would not be a shock.

It has been a great run and I'm sad that it had to end like this. I do understand that eventually all things do come to an end. But this just feels so wrong. If Paragon Studios had known about this and had the opportunity to come up with their own end of days scenario, I could accept that a whole lot easier.

Same here. My tastes are eclectic and when I feel like being tactful about my preferences, I'm discerning. When I'm not being tactful, I'm picky as hell. This just sucks. It feels wrong. From everything that we as players experienced, new content, powersets and upgrades that represented a significant investment in this IP, there was no reason to believe that the CoX franchise was struggling. I'm not familiar with the kind of effort that it takes to implement something like power pool customization, but I believe it had to represent a significant amount of coding time. In fact, Issue 24 was looking to be one of the most significant issues in terms of QoL improvements and content.

It just feels wrong to lay off a development team that was known for their loyalty to the IP on the eve of a holiday that celebrates workers. It feels wrong to dismantle a company that showed the potential for profit in these trying economic times. I wish that I could find better words to describe how I feel because as someone who has put years of studies into the humanities, I feel that I should be able to express this more eloquently; but this just sucks.

City of Heroes was far more than a game to me and I believe that many others feel the same way that I do. It was a meeting space for like minded people to meet and make friendships. City of Heroes was a collection of shared experiences that has left me with incredible memories and wonderful friendships.

I really like the idea of a bucket list team. I know that I'll never be able to get every powerset to 50, but I can finish out the ones that I was most excited about.

Looking forward to Friday, hope everything is going as well as possible for everybody.

If Baub's the one who knocked the ice cream off the cone...

The five second rule has so many variables when it comes to ice cream though. What flavor is it, if it was high quality how hot is it that day, what did it fall in, how much fell, how much you really wanted to finish it and that's just a few variables.

This should be a lot of fun. It's going to be hard work too; but I'm looking forward to building a sand sculpture and supporting a great charity that does a great job in supporting my community.

This is very true. Baub and I happened to get in on the epic double ship raid that Friday. Which gave us way, way more xp than expected. IIRC, King got in on that with his new blaster as well. When Baub hit 41, this left him unable to level because he had not finished his patron arc yet. (BTW, thanks again to Hedge and King for helping take out Mako. That was a right pain.) We rushed the patron arc at -1, but it still gave us a fair chunk of xps.

Like Hedge said, we're not going to be spending any team sessions running itrials. There's still task forces to be ran, hero and vig tips, and the various story arcs with AV goodness.

The next WST is Yin/Mantis. I know that Yin can be done fairly quickly, but Silver Mantis has a few maps that can be slaughtered for maximum xp gain.

Fixed that for you
