    Wasn't it fixed in the last patch to live? That's what the patch notes said, at least.

    Heh, they decided to skip beta this time, and go straight to live!

    That does seem to happen around every issue though. People will see the announcement e-mail, and assume that means the issue is live.
  4. I didn't have a ton of time to play this weekend, but I managed to get my fire/ice blaster Stargrazer from 34 to 37.5.

    It was kind of amusing because every time I used Inferno, I would get a mapserver disconnect for a few seconds. That's one hell of a power!

    (All these things have something in common besides an AV/Hero. Can you guess?)
    They can't be dropped, right?

    On-topic, the "Save 26 magicians" mission in Orenbega is a huge pain. I hate it so much.
  7. I wouldn't be surprised if they upgraded the servers a bit. They had to be as tired of Freedom melting down as the Freedom players were.

    In a way I suppose, in that the name of the company which is making CO is also the name of the company that originally made CoX... however, most of the actual people who worked on CoX with Cryptic are still here with Ncsoft/Paragon Studios.

    Jack Emmert is still there at Cryptic, but from what I've read he's at a more executive level now. So while his influence is felt on the game's development, he's not as involved with CO as he was with CoX, since he's got a lot more on his plate now.

    So yes, the same company made both games, but it does not follow that if you like City of Heroes, you will like Champions Online.
  9. huge pic is huge.

    Well, clearly it's time for a bandwidth killing screenshot thread! Now with actual inlined screenshots!

    Yeah, but according to the e-mail, if you keep your account active during that period you'll get into the GR closed beta, so it amounts to the same thing.
  11. Those are some fantastic names. The Big Rock Candy Golem, heh.
  12. I'm curious to see if I can browse these forums from my phone like I could from the old ones. I'll have to look into that.

    Other than that, it looks alright. I was really used to the old ones, so it's going to take a bit of adjustment.

    That Fist slam for footstomp is awesome. Definitely going to be using that for my SS characters.

    Yeah, the fog be gone button and the vidiots plugin will definitely make navigating hazard zones (especially the shadow shard) a lot easier.

    I've seen an awful lot of Banished Pantheon guys banging on drums this evening. (Not sure if that's a new thing, or not, since I'm pretty new around here.... )

    Depends where you are. I remember a bunch of them in Dark Astoria doing that. They all drum because they worship Buddy Rich. true story.

    If you have a mad scientist character or one that transforms into a beast or something, you're going to love this one.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    indeed. I have a non-mad scientist that accidentally transformed himself into a plant beast (these things happen), and now I can make him hulking in his final form.

    Glad I found this thread, or I might have had no idea that the game was looking for something that wasn't there.

    ditto. I changed the name of the updater a while back so that Vista wouldn't give me the UAC prompt all the time, and completely forgot that I did it. Glad I checked the tech issues forum before support.

    I checked the Dom set, 4 melee or pbAoE powers, plus one new power still leaves us 4 powers short.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    the article said something about it having controls, too... so I figure there will be an immob power, maybe a sleep power, and then some sort of single target hold as well.

    Eh, I dunno ...

    It seems like quite a few power sets on that list are real head-scratchers. And there's no real verification about where that list came from. I think I'll wait until gamezone puts up their version of what's to come; at least we know that they're getting info from the source.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Did you read the link that was posted with the list? From: http://www.totalvideogames.com/artic...e_12_12989.htm

    It's definitely the same stuff, Dr. Brainstorm revealing the powers in story format.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    So they copied and pasted yesterdays article from Gamezone. That doesn't tell us anything. Until I see Redname Confirmation, I'm assuming this "TVG Exclusive" is a hoax.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    so you're assuming the UK City of Heroes site is propagating a hoax then? because the TVG article is linked there.

    Definitely the second best rickroll ever.
    The best, of course, being awarded to xkcd

    xkcd also had the most subtle one ever... those are the notes to that Rick Astley song.
