Quote:I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants the Origins of power answered. I asked about it in one of the AMA google docs. Even the arc explaining it doesn't do much to clarify anything.How and why powers work in City of Heroes is something I've always felt should be fully thought out and consistent, whereas its always been treated as eh, whatever.
...
I would have loved to be able to sit down, across from the writers, with the lore bible in my hands ...
... and beat them senseless with it until they made a consistent origin of power backstory. -
For me personally, I just want access to by solo SG base. I'm non-VIP, meaning I can't pay rent, and therefore can't get into it...
-
Good stuff. I want to see the concept art too!
So... War Witch = CoH, Posi = the dev team, and Numina = players? It fits, since Numina was a player created contest winner; Posi is, uh, Posi; and War Witch has been a sort of symbol for the game since she was in the comics.
I thought about writing more, but I didn't want to over analyze it any more than I had... -
Does the program work with the test server? I have yet to try to long in to the test server, but it *appears* that I can still copy characters to the public and beta test servers... no idea if it's worked yet, though.
-
Quote:I was told that someone would be getting a "snapshot" of the beta server, and to transfer all my characters over to it. No idea if that's actually going to happen, but I was able to transfer characters that are locked.Some interesting news came out of the twitch.tv broadcast yesterday. Apparently they're enabling beta access for all players, including premium.
Something to try on a premium account -- can you copy a locked character to Beta and access it there?
If so, that might be an option for those stuck on Premium to get time capsules of their characters -- copy to beta and run the export there. I'll speak with Guy but I don't think it would be too hard to make a version of the program that works with the beta client.
It's also possible I misunderstood and the "snapshot" is the individual character program being talked about in this thread. Either way, you can transfer locked characters (although I haven't been on the server to see if I can even access it or them). -
I would love to be VIP. I hadn't played in a while (stuff happens) and when I came back, my solo SG had base upkeep due. Now I'm stuck possibly never getting back in since I can't go VIP, and only VIPs can pay rent...

Everything from this document that someone put together: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...m5fIVs7Z4/edit

I would DEFINITELY play CoH 2 (although like Feycat I'd want it on a new engine with lots of fancy shmancy new features).

@Victim 51, per this thread: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=264245
You'd want to contact Jagged Legion (if they're still around?) for pics of his character, probably. -
Well, hopefully if there's any merchandise left, people will be able to get it somehow...
-
Quote:That's what I really want to know about. What the initial plans for things were, how they were transformed or dropped entirely going into the actual game.Any lore that wasn't implemented but was talked about in years past.
Also:
More on Merulina, and how she "died".
More on the Origin of Powers, especially how it was originally intended to go and where it was heading now.
How does demon summoning work? -
So... I still need one of these. Can I get one somewhere, somehow? Maybe release some leftovers from the warehouse?
I was at Comic-Con when they were sold ('08, '09?) and somehow completely missed them, even though I was at NC Soft's booth multiple times. When I saw a picture of the booth and those shirts, I kicked myself for being (apparently) completely oblivious. I still want one... -
Darn it! I want my cigar! At least give me a 1 Inf consolation prize....
Edit: Hot dog, I can post now! I wasn't able to earlier because I'm no longer a VIP, but... now I can?
Edit 2: My signature is gone :/ -
Well, based on the email I got from the CoH team, it's not Statesman... unless the pic is of his ghost looking through a morgue window at his body.
-
The email I got says the "Rulu-Shin Cult" attacked the Midnighter club... based on that, my Rularuu guesses are looking pretty good, unless it gets interpreted as a whole new enemy group.

I think the best idea I heard for Crey was having a Paragon Protector helping out in the tutorial.
I'd like to see more about the origins, as revealed in the origins of power arc. Maybe origin specific missions or something?
Lots of good stuff in this thread! -
In the "Origins of Power" arc (or whatever it's called) Origin also determines which of the five people you talk to have expanded dialog options.
-
I really liked that stuff, thought it was great.
Quote:Would have liked either a little cleaner voice over, or actual text to read along with the voice, even if it was only in the chat window instead of a popup.
Quote:But the single biggest is that the early content has been massively reduced. Where I once had a different story arc route based upon my origin, it is now all the same and I am already bored with it. Similar feelings about the old red side content is why I don't have many villains. That worries me. So far I have found Freedom to be a great success but the starting levels need to have more variety otherwise Freems will not create new characters, will get bored and will leave.
Luckily you only have to do that once - any time you do the tutorial again on that account you don't get that dialog. -
I started a thread on a subject similar (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=272404). A poster has a way to get around it: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...59&postcount=8

Got two more guesses in... one of them's a bit of a long shot. We'll see.

Quote:That image doesn't prove much, other than the fact that all the pieces don't clip within the pack. Now, if that was a demo record image with the hat and, say, armor or something, it would be more convincing.Did this an age ago (before the re-re-design):
Funny... all the bits I was looking forward to aren't in the pack
Quote:Are there any female boss or lieutenant Circle of Thorns in-game? I haven't seen any.
And even if clipping with the female model is an issue when it comes to giving the players parts, the disparity (noted in this thread) between female and male clothing for players ought to mean that at least male player characters should get the hat... -
Not if you follow the link I have in that post...
The website looks better now, maybe because I'm at home? But the work/home thing never made the website look different (it just reset all my viewed threads :'( ).
Speaking of the website, now that Statesman and the Clockwork are dynamic and moving, any chance people who like some resolution to things could actually see them clash? I'm really kind of expecting it now, and I imagine I'm going to be perpetually let down... -
Quote:The only problem there is that all CoT stuff should be in one pack. Players shouldn't have to pay the price of two (or three) packs to get one pack's worth of items.The more I think about this, the more I expect there to be a second and perhaps third CoT costume pack with the remaining costume items. Perhaps a CoT Lt pack, then a CoT boss pack. This would also given them more items to aid with the whole add something new ever week statement.

1. Go to coh.com (redirected to http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/freedom.php )
2. Click "Learn More" (redirected to http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/about_freedom/ )
3. Get 403 Forbidden error. This happens if you go to cityofheroes.com as well.
The only way to get to the useful site is the link in this post (http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/about_...m_overview.php) but that page is all kinds of weird and messed up. The outer edges are all white now, and the "Back to Top" link is three pictures (http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/7467/badsite.png )
When you click "Home" on the main page, and are redirected to http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/index.php , that pages is also messed up (http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/4250/badsite2.png ).
