I actually liked both Part 1 and Part 2. The only thing that bothers me is that The Rewards from both parts seems linked. So if you get the Astral Merit in Part 1 you can't get it for 7 days in either 1 or 2. So if you ran part 1 repeatly till you got all the Rewards Part 2 is only good for 5 merits. As something that is Basicly VIP content unless you buy it should at least reward you for each part.

I agree with 99% of the Restrictions. but one of the best things about City of Heroes has always been the Community. How can we be welcoming when they are not allowed to Join a VIP's Super Group because the VIP's invite is restricted to the new Player.

As for my Friends They Bought CoV just for the Masterminds and they were there mains. After Hearing from me how awesome they were as a beta Tester for CoV (After the NDA Dropped of Course) They have some pretty good Vet time as well. but to buy the then be asked to pay again for the same Content that was basic. Thats gonna suck no matter who you are.. After talking to them seems they have got up to 12 Tokens in the Rewards..These guys jump to every MMO I play with me starting back in EQ so if I could use my own points to unlock their Mastermind's for them I would. (In a couple months after I built them back up (Friggen Rocket Board is awesome lol)

As for the Going Rogue Content that may have been unlocked for him. I'm waiting to hear back after he tries it out.

I've been a subscriber since launch. Thing is I have a bunch of broke friends. But thanks to other MMO's going F2P they got into Gaming with me and have actually bought things or gone VIP in the games. I'm always a VIP games. This is the first time I ran into this Issue in a game and I really only bring it up because as a Super Group leader that was excited for the new wave of fresh players. It bothered me that my gaming experience and my time spent in City with my friends that I brought to the game and wanted to invite into my Super Group depends on them gaining level 2 Paragon Reward level or Going V.I.P. . I can Understand a Free Player not being able to "Start" a new Super Group. But not allowing them to join the community I see as a problem.

So my suggestion is let Free Players join existing Super Groups.

I also have friends that have bought City of Villians & Going Rouge. Only to find that content locked to them as Free Players.

Lol Love the little "I22:" Folder tucked in there. Always the Tease.

Being physically disabled I have alot of time to spend gaming and like to feel what I do in game matters. So For me It would be....

BETA TESTING

"Getting into my first Beta with City of Villians" I've been lucky enough to beta test every expansion & update since.. This even goes back to the Cryptic Days of Cityof Heroes. The City Community being what it has always been. I talked to Devs both Cryptic and Paragon Studios. Which lead to Beta Testing Champions... which Lead to Beta Testing other Games.. I honestly believe after earlier this month I can offically say I have beta tested EVERY game with Tights & Capes todate.(OK so I'm hoping to add Lightsabers to that list)"

LOYAL SG

"While My SG Is not the biggest or most active With pretty much only 3 active members. We have Managed to not only keep it going but have amassed a fully functional Base. Dispite my medical condition or RL events keeping me away for nearly a month at a time simetimes..I return and Rents been paid, New Teleporters or something new in the Base Map.(Seriously Theres like always a new room or Memorial for some of out Earliest Members that helped me the most in getting the SG started.We forever write their names on the Base Walls)

1. All the AV's are Yellow

2. You have collected every issuse of both runs of the City of Hero Comic.

3. Your friends are sick of you explaining your City Character beat their favorite Comic book character. ( "Wait who's Kid Kaos and how can he beat Franklin Richards?!")

4. "Whats WoW?"

5. You have a shrine for every Community Rep thats come and gone.

Not a bad make over ya gave the old girl..

Please use this thread to discuss the below announcement.





When I look back upon the game that we shipped in 2004, I can’t help but look at all the things that were missing from it. Things we added immediately, and things we added recently. Badges were not in the initial launch. Heck, level 41 to 50 were not shipped with City of Heroes! As the game has progressed, I think we have added more free features with our updates than any other MMO on the planet. Multiple zones, missions, features and systems have been added to the base game over the past four years, making the game better and better with every update.

Every time I visit the Tailor in the game, I say to myself “Heh, I couldn’t even change my costume when City of Heroes launched.” Every time I Exemplar down to play content with my lower level friends, I note that this too was not a feature in the game four years ago. Now I actively seek out Inventions and Recipes both in missions and on the Black Market. The Invention System worked out very well for both City of Heroes and City of Villains, and was not part of the plan when we were finishing up CoH in the first quarter of 2004. Just over this last six months we’ve also added our Ouroboros Flashback System, Weapon Customization, and more quality of life features than the game had ever seen (until Issue 12).

That’s not to say we haven’t been without our missteps.

Awwww Posi's giving me flash backs .Make us 4 year Vets Feel Old gonna start telling stories that start with "Back in My day" oh may as well "Back in my day... We didn't get no stinkin capes at level 20. You Youngins get it easy with your wings and your Shoulder capes. All we got was a Towel and a Safty Pin and you know we made it work." I got Villian Stories too " Back in My day.... All Mercy Island Missions exited into Atlas Park With their Police Drones of Death.But did I complain nah. I sliped into City Hall and got an "International Spy" Badge if I remember right it was something bout "Spy". Rushed one to many monorail Police drones back then so its a little hazzy."


Can't wait to see whats next and get a shot at the beta to see what goes wrong with it during testing so I have more stories to tell th Youngins when they get use to everything running smoothly.


P.S. I will not be happy until Positron is Grey to me.

You should have a pretty good idea of when Issue 12 (and optional character slots) will go live by how the beta progresses. We are in closed beta and have more weeks of that to go, then weeks of open beta, then launch. That's as clear of a picture I can give at this juncture.

hmm this is intresting makes me wonder how ya'll gonna test that "Alrighty today we need everyone to test the slots make up 36 Test Characters! in the training Room" I mean the though that goes into one character. I bet Most likely see alot of people phone it in with the Random Button eh.

This is so my Favorite Posi Post to date... so the first rich person with 36 Level 50's on all 11 live servers will be crowned "The Master of those with no lives" and will look like Golem from Lord of the Rings sitting at the PC Drooling in a zombie state.. " Sell me more.. must have a level 50 Godling

35 + Rikiti spawning everywhere.. "This has hospital Stand off written all over it ." to translate for lowbies.."Debt ..Debt... Debt... oh and More debt enjoy" *chuckles* Co Op TF will Rock since all my friends tend to enjoy being villans over heroes.Good Chance to help them reach 50 so they stand a chance in the arena.

Those Powers Sets all look good to me. Still feel there are more that should be added. Melee wise I would suggest Quarterstaff since there are a few heroes known to use them. Most noted right off would be Robin (Tim Drake) and Gambit. Duel Blades are cool But How about Sai ( I know it seems so Elektra but as a Former Martial Artist it was the first weapon I was trained in and my Prefered). I have offten imagined a Fighter that could physicly Lash out with his Spirit. Where Ghost like Limbs would Pull from from the flesh and strike a Targets Spirit. But Since there wasn't a Soul Strike Style in the game I had to go with Martial Arts for my Main. Also a Flaming Sword would be Nice Not like the Blaster /Tanker version but an actually Flaming Sword Based powerset. As well as other Elemtenal Based Melee for Scrappers who lack any Element... While Not Melee based I also thought "Commander" would be a good New Heroic AT that would give a balance to the Villian MM's. Like a PDP Commander or a Longbow Commander or a Robot Commander , Army pretty much limitless . Basicly it is a Nick Fury Styled Hero.

As an avid Gamer of all kinds. I pretty much own and Play Every Violent Game shown on that.But I agree that them tossing States in that is just wrong.I try to look outside my point of view when confronted with why some games are targeted. I mean Mortal Kombat and GTA games thats a no brainer same with the Punisher game (Which Personally I think Rocks) but Why would they toss in CoH? Could they be afraid that some kid plays CoH he is going to run out and shoot a purse snatcher with a Super Soaker? Perhaps the most realistic sets in the game that could be seen as realisticly Violent would be Katana,Battle Axe,Broad Sword, Mace & Ninja Swords maybe they were what sparked them to target CoH. But if that is the case why not stick footage of those powers in use instead of slapping States face on it? Personally for me to better understand that I'll need to watch the Doc to get the full story.

10 Points to who ever can Bank The Big Red Ball off the Freakshow into the Tsoo!
I can see it now
Contact :"Mars has been knocked out of its orbit and is going to hit earth.Kid K what can you do about it?"
Kid Kaos :"We're all gonna die when we are flattened by the big red ball ,Whata ya want me to do about it?"

*Laughing* Back Alley Brawler was Da Man. When I seen Maincore in the begining in Mercy3 he instantly ran like a little girl. Liberty put up a fight though she was teamed with Brawler. All I know is I blinked and I was in back at the base like 7 or 8 times. She might have been the cause for one of those but Brawler Sooo Schooled us.

Manticore , I have really enjoyed the story arc's I've completed. 2 of my favorite missions have been. The one for the Doctors Ally Badge and the mission with the A.I. you needed to help escape ( Think it was Called #6).They seemed like they could be very cool contact characters for later story arcs if they ever make themselves known again. Anyhow to my question. out of all bades and accolade my favorite was the "Freedom Phalanx Reserve member". which was the One I wanted most and worked hard to get. Will there ever be room for advancement to become full members of Freedom Phalanx through story arcs for players Heroes?
