  1. Not in the least!

    I'm OCD. I LIVE off of people telling me my mistakes so I can fix 'em right away and never do 'em again. It wouldn't bother me if I was corrected, and as much as I try to refrain from doing so, I can't help but correct others. Not intentionally, either. I usually don't realize what I've done until I've hit the 'send' button!

    Now on the FORUMS, I know how to hold back. In-Game? You'll either get really sick of me or find me endearing. I'm just happy to have found a community where the player base generally acts the way I do, with the sole intention of helping their fellow players with simple things like terminology.

    Edit: Scratch that. If you catch a brand new post from me, a fun mini-game is to refresh every couple of seconds. The text will magically reform before your eyes.
  2. What I'm more concerned about is what I'll be doing when I get my Beta invite.

    While half of me wants to wait out the Beta, thus being completely surprised when GR is released fully, the other half of me wants to take complete advantage of the Beta. I want GR to be completely bug free so that, when the wave of new players come in, they'll not just be satisfied, they'll be in awe.

    That's nothing. I hear the beep at completely random locations... Repeatedly. I ALWAYS look around when I do.

    I'm not kidding. I need to do that RIGHT NOW!

    Yup! City of Villains used to be an Expandalone (It was its own game, but worked in conjunction with the hero servers), but when the partnership of Cryptic Studios and NCSoft ended, allowing Cryptic to go on making Champions Online, NCSoft rounded up all our existing developers, gave them their own studio (Now called Paragon Studios... See what they did there?), and gave all the subscribers full access to both games without having to purchase either seperately.

    I recommend taking a look at the following link: http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/gam...ssue_list.html

    If you're like me, you'll probably feel all tingly excited when reading over all the game features. I still get that feeling when I read over the update list, only my tingly excited comes mixed with a large dose of nostalgia.

    Since nothing has been said on this, I'll would assume helping.

    You've probably been told that by vocal members of the playerbase, or the NCSoft Customer Support. They are not the developers.

    It is nice to hear that it is being looked into but all it does it create false hope because people will be waiting for something that might take a long time, if it will ever come out.
    A.) I didn't forget anything. I understand completely. You're just mistaking marketing and NCSoft's lack of service for the developers genuinly wanting to help. Now you just have to understand that they genuinly have nothing they can say.


    B.) "It's not false hope until you've given up the hope you had."

    I have a good bet that it does, in fact, bother the developers that a portion of their playerbase is upset. Don't start raving about how you're the ugly duckling and that you're going to be voted out of the pond. Don't be like the band of PvPers that up and left. Their leaving is what made the decision to put PvP on the backburner. Why? Because the change would cater to no one. If you give up on them, they'll do the same.

    This is probably the biggest point you can make. And I completely agree with it.

    I know this has been said before, but it must be reiterated.

    We don't pay the saleries of those working at Paragon Studios. We pay NCSoft to have access to the game that Paragon Studios developes. Paragon has the developers on a fixed salery that'll continue whether we pay NCSoft or not. The only thing our money is good for is letting NCSoft decide if the game is profitable enough for them to continue funding the Paragon Project.

    Paragon Studios is under the will of the En-Cee logo.

    Edit: Got rid of a pointless sentence.

    That's a little unfair to say. That's like to getting mad at your parents when they can't afford that super cool thing-a-ma-jig you've been wanting, even when they reassure you that they'll get it for you when they have the money.

    War Witch wants to have something to tell us, but she currently doesn't have anything. She's just reassuring us that the moment she does have something to tell, it's ours to know.

    Im New

    Howdy, howdy, hey, hey! Welcome to the game!

    I've been with the game for over five years now, and I still love it. I take things a bit slower then I used to, but really, I'm just pacing myself to get pumped for Going Rogue. When I first joined, Infinity was my server. Became my home. Loved it.
  18. *Wide eyed stare*

    Can I PLEEEEEEAAAAAASE have your stuff?

    Edit: Well, I can honestly tell you that I'm not a person to hoard anything. In fact, I've never once gotten past the 100 million infamy/influence milestone. Ever. I'm WAY too casual of a player.

    Then again, I'm also the player that trades all my infamy/influence for prestige. And I'm the leading prestige holder for my villain group by 400 - 500 thousand, with over a million saved up. So, maybe I do hoard...
  19. ... Well, kind of/sort of.

    I'm going through ftp://ftp.cityofheroes.com/music/ right now, looking for some of the in-game music that I really really like. More specifically, I LOVE the Rikti Mothership music that plays when entering that neighborhood. I just... Can't find it in the above website. Naming doesn't help either.

    Is it in there? If so, which one? I might have skipped it.

    That makes more sense, thanks guys.

    No, not those, I just did those! The AE ones Venture mentioned.

    I don't think that's quite what she said.

    Bravo, Devs!

    Hey Golden, welcome back!

    Logging in-game to try out those two arcs.

    You probably missed the parts of those two missions (Part 2) that had the impassable locked doors. It was a really cheap explanation, I understand, but at least it helped me understand where my double was supposed to be in the mission.
