Let me get this straight, GR has been talked about nonstop for a while now and all they got as an update is a screen shot of a character?

Come on already give players some thing more, whats next? A screen shot of a wall with some bricks?

Seriously stringing out GR information seems pretty pointless.

Hey all!


So far this year has been one hell of a ride, from my near death experience to taking care of the new puppy; I have a hard time getting any game play in.


I just wanted to give you all a quick heads up, that I am NOT leaving COH, just on hiatus for a bit. Some of you may have seen me pop in now and then for a few minutes and then log off, others might not have.


OH! I am also suffering from a severe sinus infection, I have to go in next week and get a CAT scan of my head-lucky me!


Any who, I hope to be around again soon, you all misbehave untill I get back. And make sure Jimmy stays out of my cookie jar!


Miss you all and Hugs (except for Knight).

Ugh, I don't mind people commenting on peoples bases, but mindless chatter that is completely off topic of what this post is about is quite rude. If you want mindless chatter send each other PMs or do it in game.

I’ve been on Pinnacle since the game was launched and nothing; I do mean nothing will get me to make a server change. I made a lot of friends on Pinnacle, some have left and some have remained. It‘s good to see some of my friends still around, but for those who have left, I met other people and became good friends with them. It’s an online game people will come, people will go, and you cannot expect everyone to stick around forever.


People say “Oh, the server is dying, the game is dying.” It is only if you think it is. Understand there are other games that came out and are still coming out. Some of your friends may have left or will leave to these games, but nothing is stopping them from coming back. And if you’re complaining it’s hard to fill a Task Force or a team, think about what time of year it is, it’s Christmas! And on top of that it maybe the wrong time of day or people just are not interested. You want to do something with people, join PinnBadges and force the message on people, make them feel welcome. And once there on a team treat those people with respect and not like crap, the second you treat someone on your team like there one of your workers, you’re done.


The thing about this game is you do not need to be in a super group villain or hero to get anything done. Sure having a base is nice and all, but is it required? Nope. Sure it’s nice to have people in a supergroup, but is it required? Nope. Age of Conan was the opposite; you were not in a guild that was fairly large you did not do raids, period. Here on this game being in a large supergroup is fine but it’s not required to do anything in the game. Of course if your hell bent on holding out till they get supergroup raids up and running again, but kind of silly in my opinion to wait for that or want a supergroup just for that purpose, but that‘s my opinion.


If you want to team, ask anywhere on broadcast, Pinnbadges, wherever! If you cannot get people to join, solo for a bit, sure it may be boring but have some patience. Hells while you’re soloing, strike up a conversation in Pinnbadges. I have zero problems with soloing, but I do ask folks to join on most things I am doing, if I get bites, great, if not, I‘ll either ask later or just keep going at my own pace.


If you’re depressed your friends left and there is nothing to do, you can change that, jumping over to another server is never the right answer, you can fix that yourself on the current server you are on, if you choose to take the time to do it.


Yes, I prattled on a bit here, but it a little shocking to me that people I know are jumping over to another server all because they got a “Free” ticket. You know it may be a matter of time before that server becomes as “dead” as you say Pinnacle is.


They can offer me free server tickets till the cows come home, but I won’t leave Pinnacle even if I am the last one remaining.

For the love of cookies make this an AOE buff already, like RA and Regen. I've been asking since a year into the game, came back a few months ago and still its not an AOE buff.


Is it game breaking? Uh no. It makes things simple, easy, instead of having to click on every freaking person to buff them.


And if a DEV can pop in here and explain why this has not happening yet or if it's coming soon, I'm all ears.

I know there is a thread to showcase your bases. Thought it would be nice just to have our little area to show our bases from our server.


I posted this video I made of my hero's base.

Now, get to posting your screen shots or videos of your base; villain and or hero!

I am going to get this off my chest and come and say this, the Loyalty program was a joke.


The first post amuses me, “Thanks for being loyal!” Loyal for what? Being one of the people, who managed to get this badge because you didn’t have finical issues, had a flub with your payment or maybe you were just bored with the game. You know I was standing in Went’s the other day and saw this player with a pretty cool character, so I clicked on his or her information and guess what? Six months of game play and they now have the badge that guarantees then a space in Beta. Excuse me? You want a six month player in an expansion pack looking for bugs?


And of course this whole thing about if you’re having issues getting the badge contact support. Many people are in line waiting for a reply back. My friend had to wait almost three days for a response. Guy has been here a very long time, has all the veteran badges. They told him, “Sorry, you don’t get the Loyalty badge because you missed a few days do to a payment mix up.” What? That’s not considered loyal, having 66 veteran reward badges? He does not care about getting Beta Access, he is upset because he is a badge nut and that's one less badge he will never get.


Am I bitter about not getting the badge? Sure. Am I leaving over it? Nope. Even if I did get the badge, I would still be here ranting about how dumb this program was.


They put 60+ veterans as the next in line for Beta access. They could have saved themselves one hell of a headache and did a program to where if you received the 30 month veteran badge between August 15th and November 15th you get the Loyalty badge and a third spot being in Beta access. That’s considered being loyal, not a small three month span time.


That would have been simple, easy and eliminate a lot of folks being upset they did not get it and have to wait days to get a response back from a GM, telling them “No.”


<Takes a stand and applauds> Congratulations on pulling a Jack, I am sure he is proud.



Yeah I am probably going to get tomatoes thrown at me, but there are a lot of folks, I spoke to who feel the same way.

Everyone here has a base and now it’s time to show it off!


Once a month a day will be opened to allow people to come and check out your base to see how cool or crappy it is. This will allow people to get some inspiration or possibly beg to redo your base.


On the 28th of each month, bases are opened to anyone who wishes to come to see it. All you have to do is sign this post with your global, super/villain group name if you wish to par take in this event.


When the 28th hits all you have to do is look at this post, see any bases you wish to go check out and send them a message.


It gets better! Each month I will read peoples replies and check these bases out myself. Whoever designed the base, got the best feedback and review from me, will win 20 million influence or infamy!



Rules:


1. One person can only claim this prize, make sure you know who designed your base.


2. The prize money only applies to either a super/villain group base, not both. If you viewed both bases, choose one you liked best.


3. Post feedback and or screen shots in this post of the base you liked the most. Your feedback is important just as my own review!


4. If you are not signed up for this monthly event in this post you cannot participate in claiming the prize money. And yes you only need to sign up once, not every month.


5. The base designer cannot win the prize money more than once even if their base has changed.This applies both to villain and hero bases. This gives other people an opportunity to win. Don’t be selfish .


6. The person who designed your base must be in your super group/villain group! Prize money will not be awarded to those not in your super/villain group.


7. If your base has won you have a choice if you want infamy or influence.


8. This contest only runs one day, but it may take up to a week for a final winner. Be patient!


9. Winners will be announced on a separate post.


10. If at some point you no longer wish to be in the event, make sure you do so before or after the date. On the date of the event, once you are in, your are in until its over.


11. Any feedback/screen shots posted before or after the date will be void. Comments/screen shots MUST be added the day of the event after you viewed the base.


12. If you are in the super/villain group, you can only post a review/screen shots of other peoples bases, NOT your own.


13. If no comments/screen shots are posted about a person base, I will use my own review to choose a winner.


14. If you are the winner of the event you will be contact in game by me. If you cannot be reached, I will leave a message and then send you a PM.


(Rules are subjected to change and more can be added. Make sure you check them before entering.)




The first base open invitation starts, November 28th, 2009 when the clock hits midnight!


Get those bases ready!



(IF you have any comments or questions about this event, please send them to me by PM. Please do not clutter up this post with mindless chatter. I only wish to see peoples entry submissions and comments/screen shots.Thank you!)

Hello All

If and when you have some free time, I am looking for feedback on my AE Arc:


Title: Arachnos Interrupted

ID Number: 344672

By: Lady-Dee



I worked very hard on this story and I would love to hear any comments; no matter if they are good or bad.


Thanks!

Maybe. I am not sure yet, depends on my husband's work schedule.

It's about a 3hr drive from me, not too bad.

1. How do you get it in the nav to say "place the last bomb" or something to that extent.

For example if you choose to have five bombs in the mission to place. Ok plant four of them, get to the final one to plant or whatever and it just says <blank> bombs to plant.


2. Going to assume this is a bug. The first mission escort some one out. Ok, they go to the door, open and leave. The next escort get them to the door and they just stand there. I DID make sure that the "Run to the nearest door" was marked. What gives?


3. Allies. I chose my ally to help aid the character upon entering. I chose the option no baddies around the ally. Guess what? Enter a mission and there is baddies around the ally. Bug again I assume?


4. Random blinkies and by random they have a mind of their own. I have a blinkie marked as IN the back, enter the mission and guess what? Its in the front! Go back and look, yep checked to be in the back. This a bug too?

5. Has anyone else notice for the contacts the description part is shorter then in game? You pick someone, I dunno like Lord Recluse, no information about that contact. Go to Wiki copy and past his information that IS in his description in the game. Comes back and says its too long. Maybe I missed something >_>.


Sorry for all the questions. If anyone has any answers, I'd appreciate it!

Dunno kind of on the fence for this type of challenge. I mean for me it’s almost like your hero went out and blew up a building BUT they did it for the greater good, damn Lost won’t live there now!

Also don’t get why there are restrictions on who can submit and who cannot. Is that not the purpose of a challenge, to have everyone involved?

Anyways, good luck to those who can enter.

The servers are down and then I read this:


*Please note that if a character logged in and claimed the "Walk" power, the Walk power icon will appear grayed out and unusable.




I'm sad, now I cannot walk through the Shadow Shard =(.





Please for the love of cookies entertain me for the next 2hrs.....<goes insane>

I came back so there is hope

Where: Recluse Victory

When: Tuesday, November 3rd

Time: 8:00pm Central Time

Goal: To obtain the badges from Heroes, Pillboxes and to have fun.

End Time: When people get bored.



I am pretty sure the heroes will be out like the villains were for last week’s event. So bring your villain and make Lord Recluse proud.



~Note~: Time and date can change if it is an issue with a lot of people.

Before we get to the event, let me clear something up. Yes, I am back on this game; I am having a great time and plan to cancel my account on Conan. Before I left for Conan, I did all sorts of events, contests, Task Forces, etc. Since I am back, I am going to start doing these things again.


I’ve heard people say they enjoyed my Task Forces and the contests I’ve held. One that sticks out is, “Take A Stand.” That’s where you had to be the last one standing against a crap load of Devouring Earth Monsters. This MAY come back again in the not so distant future. I do appreciate all those who have helped, participated in those events and enjoyed themselves. That was the whole point of doing it!

Now with that cleared up, let’s get to the event.



I am putting together a raid for Archvillans and Pillboxes in Recluses Victory on:


Tuesday October 27th at 8pm central time (Time can be changed to fit with people’s schedules.)


Will all meet inside the Heroes Base in Recluse Victory, will form up teams and go nuts! The purpose of doing this is to of course have a damn good time and also to get badges for those who are seeking to get them.


If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post them here. If you plan on attending, saying you will attend in a post is optional. Just show up and you’ll get an invite-simple!


Oh and one last thing, can the sexy peoples of PinnBadges please post this event in the MOTD! TY

LOL! Me back?


Dunno about that. Popped in to say hello.


Kind of get that itch every now and then to play COH again. But it's gone before I feel the need to scratch it.

How have you sexy peoples been?



And yes before you ask, I am alive =O.

Please use this thread to discuss the below announcement:

NCsoft NorCal is proud to announce a new feature for the City of Heroes® and City of Villains® games; that of Visual Sounds. Visual Sounds are based on the comic book staple of onomatopoeia, or the use of a word to replace a sound. Classic comic book examples are “Pow” and “Ka-Boom!” in colorful bubbles while heroes and villains are slugging it out. City of Heroes takes a huge stride forward by replacing simple sounds with the exciting new visual medium of Visual Sounds.

OMFG &lt;face palm&gt;

Great and come Issue 13 everything is going to have signs everywhere saying what is what.

Yes, I'm being sarcastic.

Any Red name wanna come out and let us know if Elec/Elec tank is going to be added?

Well I’m fairly happy with what I see so far. However the only one I find really dumb is this:

Tank:

•New Primary - Dark Armor
•New Secondary - Dark Melee


Personally I think Tanks should have gotten Elec/Elec instead of this. But maybe in the future it will be added.

Cannot wait to make a earth dom.
