    Agreed - hope he lands somewhere soon.
  2. I've heard many CoH sound effects in other media so no doubt they all use cheap or free sound libraries.
  3. "The Flash now has a certification for the NFI-2000 Turbo which will temporarily increase its speed. We know you are going to try it because it has the word Turbo in it. Don't worry about the fact you effectively have a small afterburner beneath your crotch. We've tested this thing successfully at least twice, and sometimes the driver didn’t even die."

    XD

    10/6 notes
  4. I'm not going to condense over an hour of content into a few sentences for you guys - come on get real.

    What do you consider newsworthy? Where is the bar set?

    Scroll down to the audio player.

    I didn't want to give a direct link to the file, which I hope is proper etiquette, but there ya go.

    Fixed that for you.
  8. Healing Flames recharge so quickly - although yeah, in the lower levels I could see this being a temporary issue.
  9. After watching the video and thinking that punishing other development companies with publisher boycotts are a great idea, you are just as much of a '(insert insult)' as this guy.

    True, all I have to go by is the comments of the forum, so maybe you will understand why I wrote it that way.
  11. Yeah I was able to get every powerset unlocked. I wouldn't have had enough had Bio Armor gone live though - and it's mostly due to going nuts during the last Black Friday sale on LOTG sets and stuff.

    I mentioned it before in another thread, but I wouldn't be surprised if sales talks took place a long time before that fateful Friday.

    There never was any other possible outcome. They held all the cards, owned the table and were paying the dealer. It's still good to fight the fight. Doing so is more about who you are, than winning or losing. Are you someone who lets themselves be hit or do you stand up for yourself ? Our community stood up and threw everything we had at them. It wasn't enough and it could never be enough but still we tried. All in all, not a bad way to go out.
    Yep, now we can at least breathe a little easier and enjoy the servers while we still can.

Or maybe he has compassion for his fellow players and wants to facilitate the grieving and healing process. Or maybe he is search of viable alternatives in a bad situation. Or maybe he is just as tried of people braying over and over to no avail as much as you are of downer messages.

    I hope you get a response. I'm pretty sure my shut up and go away reply will follow in short order.

    But if you feel that way, why bother posting?
    I assume you realize I could say the exact same thing on the other side of the fence. I'm not trying to convince anyone to change their mind - I'm just telling those who don't know jack about reverse engineering software that even if we had the same people who worked on the game doing it, it might never work right after several years have passed.

I've stopped getting my hopes up, as I feel there is nothing we can say or do that'd stop CoH from being shut down and never reopened in any way, shape, or form. NCsoft have made their minds up. They don't want to game live anymore, and they don't want to sell it.
    Correct - which could also mean they are more poised to legally counter emulation projects.

    So, on August 31st, they told us they were shutting it down.
    Yeah exactly - nothing's changed other than prolonging the inability of acceptance.
  18. I think if the original Paragon Studio devs were doing the reverse engineering work we would still have massive problems and it could take years.

    It's over - really. Immediately I assume attacks will be sent my way for being honest but I don't really care. I just don't understand why people are setting themselves up to be hurt in the near future. I DO understand the majority love rooting for the underdog in most situations but regardless of what is written on the Titan Networks I just don't see anything but disappointment happening.

    I agree.

    Then again, I don't believe in pursuing anything else either. It's over - I don't want to hear about emulation/reverse engineering efforts either, because we all know how that will go.

    Thank you!

    Oh wow, I always regretted not registering on the forums immediately after the game went live, but waiting 7 yrs to do it is crazy, haha.

    As for street versus staff, staff is more fun to watch for me, but street is something I wanted for ages and finally got, so street wins for me.
    Do you still have points coming in Oct/Nov? I can't remember if you went VIP towards the end or not.
  22. Staff has more aoe than StJ, which might matter to some.
