    I made the Atlas Wentworth's my default marketeering HQ just for the people watching.
    Atlas is my default zone too - it has the best chance of finding new players who need help

    They can - just not quite as easily as before

    Name the server and your avatar name, and I'll be right there.

    I won't rip open my T-shirt and fly out the window to rescue you because first, I'm not wearing my costume, and second, I can't actually fly in RL - but me clicking the CoH icon on my desktop will have more or less the same effect for you

    EDIT: Oh wait, you found it

    =P
    And looking at CO, he does seem very intent on avoiding getting any respect at all.

    It's not advisable if you're sub-20

    Unfortunately for him, it's tough to retrofit 'character' into a developed adult psyche.
    But surely he has time to work on it until he develops one?

  11. I think the biggest problem right now is that it isn't July yet.
  12. They've crushed the MM pet exploit with an iron fist - just before 2XP weekend

    H.D.S. now = Hardly Done Since

    Yes - burn thorugh the early levels for the next couple of days, then rip up the mid level content during the 2XP weekend

    Just give NCSoft your money for the GR pre-purchase, and you'll get your pistols the moment you apply the code

    Sure it'd be cool if there's going to be other new powersets in GR.
    But I wouldn't let wishful thinking convince you it's a forgone conclusion.
    Define the word "including" in a way that doesn't imply more than what's being announced

    New Power Set: Dual Pistols

    We are pleased to introduce the first of the highly anticipated Going Rogue initiatives, Dual Pistols. Players who prepurchase the Going Rogue expansion will gain access to Dual Pistols with this release.

    The set is a primary power choice for Blasters and Corruptors and a secondary choice for Defenders. Dual Pistols is also the power set of choice for the Going Rogue signature character Maelstrom.

    What differentiates Dual Pistols from the Assault Rifle power set is the ability to modify every attack's secondary damage and the effect that has on your target. 70% of damage dealt by most attacks is lethal, the other 30% is modifiable from pure damage to cold, toxic, or fire. This versatility comes at the cost of slightly weaker secondary effects when compared to other power sets. In short, Dual Pistols is a set that can adapt to most situations by bringing a wide variety of debuffs and damage types.

    The Dual Pistols Power Set is comprised of the following powers:
    • Pistols
    • Dual Wield
    • Empty Clips
    • Swap Ammo
    • Bullet Rain
    • Suppressive Fire
    • Executioner's Shot
    • Piercing Rounds
    • Hail of Bullets
    COMBINED

    Mission Architect
    • Custom Critters: Rewards for Mastermind Boss Pets used as custom critters have been reduced.
    Powers

    General
    • Fixed a bug that caused some Hold powers to trigger Disorient animations on the target, allowing the target to walk around while held. Fix includes Char, Cinder, Block of Ice, Strangler, Fossilize, and Freezing Touch
    • Fixed animation used by Nemesis Staff and Blackwand in Shield Combat mode
    • Fixed minor sound issue with jumping while using the Ninja Run power.
    • Fixed an issue with Walk where Increase Slow IO set bonuses were affecting walking speed
    • Invulnerability (all ATs) - Invincibility: restored some missing/incorrect FX
    • Mystic Fortune: The buffs granted by this power should no longer allow stacking under any circumstances.
    • Fixed an issue that caused windup animations (like Snipe powers) to loop while flying.
    • Fixed animation issue with resting while in Shield Combat mode while Ninja Run is active
    • Fixed issue that caused some falling animations to loop when in Shield Combat mode
    • Fixed jittering flight/hover animations with Shield mode
    • Natural Super Booster pack costume change emotes should now play if in a weapon combat mode.
    • Redcaps should no longer spontaneously play their spawn animations when hit with powers such as Chain Induction.
    • Walk and Ninja Run animations now properly interruptible by sliding animations.
    • Coralax Minion Costume should now be compatible with Ninja Run.
    Power Customization
    • Invulnerability sets - updated FX for Invincibility
    • Custom Color Palette was not defined for Martial Arts - Eagle's Claw
    • Fixed an issue with Custom Animations for Super Strength and Martial Arts that would prevent them from playing while in Shield Combat mode.
    Invention
    • Fixed a bug that would cause Numina's Convalescence: +Regen/+Recovery to have its effects boosted by being slotted in a power with enhancements that would increase regeneration or recovery rates.
    Badges
    • Bug fix for Early Bird badge status getting lost from some players.
    Stores
    • The Vanguard Katana can now be purchased for use with the Dual Blades and Broadsword power sets.
    • The Vanguard Broadsword can now be purchased for use with the Dual Blades power set.
      • The Vanguard Dual Blades can now be purchased for use with the Broadsword power set.
    CITY OF HEROES

    Powers

    Peacebringers/Warshades
    • Animated body parts on Kheldian Novas should no longer disappear when using SuppressCloseFX
    Tasks
    • Manticore Task Force: Fixed a bug that sometimes caused level 40 Paragon Protector Elites to spawn, even though the TF caps at level 35.
    CITY OF VILLAINS

    Powers

    Arachnos Soldiers
    • Fixed some minor animation issues with Crab Spider backpacks/arms when walking or swimming.
    EDIT: Should we shed a tear for all those poor Bruisers, Assault Bots, Onis and Commandos who will now be out of work?

    Jack Emmert?

    Most of it is exaggerated

    It's become a sort of CoH meme though - that anything wrong with the game can always be traced back to him

    EDIT: Mostly, he just seemd to have a very personal take on what was fun in a game, and was quite determined to force it onto the players.
    For example, he thought the idea of dying twenty times trying to get to a stupidly placed mission door in the Hollows was fun, because once you finally managed to get there, it gave a real sense of achievement.
    Which is sort of right - but during the twenty hospital trips you got more of a sense of real sense of not-fun
    Apparently, he also wasn't too hot on listening to feedback

    I think maybe the forum upgrade/migration destroyed a lot of the oldest threads, so they were wiped form the total.
  20. Qiuite a while ago, in one of the "ask a dev" features, I think, one of them said his dream feature for CoH was for a serverless environment.
    I'm not sure if that was said before or after the NCSoft buy-out though.

    The fact that all I can do is beat your face in until you hit the ground. I can't force them to surrender or talk them out of fighting or "permanently" hold someone. Yeah, ok, that sounds kind of lame.

    But what I'm getting at is that the only way to beat someone is to break their body. I want to break their will to fight.
    But doesn't punching them unconscious kinda break their will to fight?

    So [Ostrich Run] will be the power from the Mutant booster pack?
