Kitsune Knight

Never would have called that one!

If someone bought me some awesome fox ears...

I already play APB (I've never considered pay, though). I'll probably keep playing that, especially if they actually add the Nyan rocket launchers. It's basically the only game I consider to have superior character customization to that of CoH (although I hate the placeholder character model before peoples' character loads...)- although most of it's locked behind progressing through the grind (they don't have stories...).

I tried Champions Online twice, both times it was completely and totally unenjoyable. I bought Aion years ago, and never played past my free month (what a horrible game! why do other developers come up with a neat feature, and then try to make it totally inaccessible?), except for a short time with several friends on a free private server (that gave about 10x as much XP as on the live servers... it was still a slow grind fest...). I tried STO, but didn't like it. WoW's gameplay is crap, and looks like crap.

I guess I'll give TOR a chance once it's F2P. It has a bit of scifi, and it's not just elves in woods as someone else put so well. But, I don't have high hopes for it. Maybe some other non-generic-fantasy-elves-magic-everquest MMO will come around that lets you customize your character... maybe one day.

Since the end days are upon us... how about an actual end of the world event in game?

Whatever community reps / devs are still around, give 'em a day where they get to screw around, throwing whatever they can at us in a huge event (obviously more akin to Shark Week, since I doubt they'll get to write any new code for it). It doesn't have to be anything formal or all that, basically just a final event for the players to be able to interact with Paragon, one last time. If you guys have any Battalion enemies already hidden in the game, throw those at us as well (or anything else you guys have hidden away in those PIGGs!).


And then when the dust settles... we all have a big group hug before we turn off the lights!

(and then Zwill pulls off his Rikti mask, and points and laughs, saying we 'Players: Punked'! ... maybe this part is just wishful thinking...)

I just purchased a Super Pack on the Paragon Market... so at least that's still up... maybe they just meant purchases of points?

Well, that was unexpected. I really doubt anyone at Paragon actually knew this was coming (a couple might have known it was a possibility...). Seems like every channel on Virtue is talking about this as well... and I was excited about rolling a new Dual Pistols character later today (damn my altitus!).

Who in the what now?


(some game's being shut down? )

Isn't this costume available in the CC already? Or is this a costume change power?

(not found one that works yet, either)

I love Quantum Acceleration (+Jump Pack for MAXIMUM SPEED!!!!!!). Plus, it's a great spot for a LotG: +Recharge.

1.) I called it.

2.) *Squee!!!*

The thread views is definitely inflated... I probably account for 20-30 views alone

Got mine!

What you do is go to http://us.ncsoft.com/en/, and hit 'Log In', and login to your NCSoft Master Account. Click on your CoH account on the right hand side (should have the CoH logo and the account name), and on the next page click 'Redeem Code' under 'Actions', and enter the code on the next screen! After that, it'll ask you which account to apply it to (maybe not for everyone), and you're done!

Edit: Also, you do NOT need to be VIP. Even Freems can use the code!

So, we can come to the conclusion that (unending) western comics and (unending) shõnon anime handle power creep in different ways... Western super hero comics simply retcon the power back down (same thing the TV show Heroes did) / hand wave it away because the McGruffin only worked due to the right alignment of the stars (and then they gave a half-***** McGruffin reason), while the animes just runs with it and raises the stakes/scale of the world.

In neither of those is 'power creep' a problem when the stories actually end. I greatly prefer the ones where the entire story line was pretty much already decided before the first episode even aired (those tend to only be one or two seasons, not 20). This is largely why, while I absolutely loved Last Exile, I refuse to watch the sequel series (that was made many years later) due to them "I got better"-ing a very meaningful death.


Also, as for 'collateral damage', that's one thing that's always bothered me about super heroes... they do these things, but their 'no killing' policy always results in more suffering, and is something I always would complain about whenever I'd meet someone obsessed with comic books. Hilariously enough, over the summer a roommate tricked me into watching Superman vs The Elite... which immediately got me started into the rant after the opening fight... little did I know that was what the entire movie was going to revolve around. They definitely handled the subject extremely well (although I was rooting for The Elite ). Not as good as The Avengers (EMH) cartoon, but quite good.

I'm T9. I have access to beta. I'm interested in the TechKnight set.

Today's CoffeeTalk was the first time I'd gotten to see it


And hell, I probably get on beta far more than the vast majority of the playerbase (the vast majority likely never having even installed it), and likely the majority of the T9 VIPs as well.

Plus, at least for me, I've not generated any tokens on beta/test since Freedom launched, so I couldn't even check it out if I wanted.
