For all the fish.
I soloed a lot, and when I teamed most of the people I teamed with were on Virtue...but Justice is where I rolled my first...and last...character.
I started shortly after launch and have been playing off and on (mostly on) ever since. I used the name Angelus back in the day, and switched to this name a few years ago.
Take care everyone, and be excellent to each other. -
I would be interested in transferring my main to triumph for this...HOWEVER
While I'm T4'ed out I don't have hybrid unlocked. LvL 50, ss/fire/pyre brute.
I also have a lvl 50 nec/dark MM that's also quite incarnated out ...
Yay? nay? pity spot?
oh..and about the 'be ready to listen'....I'll be listening AND looking for the bread crumbs... -
I'm going to do something I hate when other people do....I'm going to relate this to a real life tragedy.
Growing up, I was a HUGE wrestling fan...went to wrestlemania V with my best friend, ordered PPV's, read the dirt sheets. I followed it as I grew to adult hood, hung out with work friends on Monday nights to watch Raw/Nitro.
Then one of my favorite wrestlers killed his wife, his child and then himself. I've hardly watched it since.
I think MMO's are going to be the same (ie...after ncsoft shuts down CoH that's it for me). -

Because I got tired of people in the past assuming I'm a male but I'm female and someone made the suggestion to make note of it because their is no way to tell and most people would assume male. It was a good point and thus I did.
Unless you're a dude and trolling...which I believe you are. -

about the length. You'd swear I broke post length records. My longest post is ony 4 thousand words + a few. Yet no mention about length in this post which is 5 thousand words. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=297902.
Most of the rest are about 1600-2,500 words and there are more than few that fall into that range such as, yet no complaint about the length, so as muc has people say these things are too long yet seeing their silence about length in a post that is over 1,000 words longer than mine, I do not think the length is the issue even though some say it is. -

And boy, the airport is super quiet and nice. I could even keep my car in idle at the terminal.
The BEST BBQ places have the MOST health code violations! -
I've been to several airports (Philly, Baltimore, Midway, O'haire, one in Orange County, CA) and the QUICKEST airport I've ever been through is in KC.

Lets do this.
Date:
9/28 (Friday)
Place:
Sheridans frozen custard place
Address:
6825 West 75th Street, Overland Park, Kansas, 66204.
Time:
3:30pm.
Look for the 6'2 Asian guy wearing a COH shirt.
The more, the merrier. Seems like we'll have at least 5-6 people.
I'll be the short dumpy white dude. -
I live in Kansas City, KS...though you're flying through KC, MO.
PM is in coming.
oooh, if you're gonna bring swag can you bring the code so I can set up my private server using Google Fiber? -
Thanks for the follow up.
Actually I'm the one who let this sit fallow for a while, so your quick response was both welcome and unexpected.
I don't mind saving some money, so if I'm under budget...YAAAAY.
This is 'similar' to a system I built on ibuypower.com, though I settled for a non-K i5.
1) In this day and age is over clocking really worth it?
2) Is the performance jump from an i5 to i7 worth the hit in price?
I'm not scheduled for google fiber until Fall 2013, long after CoH will be gone....*sigh*.
I really didn't think my fiberhood would make it, so it was a happy surprise when we did.
Thanks for your help. -
1) What will you primarily be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming, running some servers for personal use (IIS, FTP, apache).
2) What's your budget? (Real Dollars) Are tax and shipping included? This is important as it allows people trying to help you to suggest things appropriate to your budget.
2000-2500
3) Where do you live? This is important as it affects what vendors you may buy from and how much shipping costs might be.
Kansas City
4) Are you planning to buy or build?
prefer to buy, I've built in the past
5) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need. If you're unsure what exactly you need, say so.
PS, CPU, case, MOBO, RAM, video card, on board audio is fine, Gig Ethernet (running cat 6), HD, Optical drive (blue ray reader, dvd writer)
6) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Reusing logitech 5.1 speakers, apple 24 inch cinema display, mouse, keyboard (ie old system is going to be wiped and sold (or donated)with vista reinstalled on it)
7) Will you be overclocking?
prefer not to.
8) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
Apple 24 inch cinema display (native 1920x1200)
9) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
next 2-3 months
10) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? etc.
USB 3.0 would be a 'nice to have' currently all of my devices are USB 2.0
11) Any specific must-have features? Must be able to max out Ultra-Mode? Must have 6+GB of RAM? Must have an SSD? etc.
8+GB of RAM (current machines is 4 years old and has 8GB of ram), I don't know if I can justify the cost of a SSD since I would need to have 2 HD's, I'm getting google fiber in the next 12 months so I'd like a GB nic, wireless N is fine until then, looking to save some money by getting an i5 as opposed to an i7
12) Are there any vendors/brands you'd specifically prefer to use?
Intel for the chipset, nvidia for the video card
13) Are there any vendors/brands you'd specifically prefer to avoid?
prefer to avoid AMD
14) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit? (Note: If your current OS came with your computer, odds are that it is NOT transferable.)
Yes, bought an OEM copy of WIndows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (computer shipped with vista) -

That's a link to the doc, in case these boards get shut down, and because I don't want to clean it up for our forum posting format (if someone ELSE does, feel free to pad your postcount).
Some answers are not satisfying. Some answers are made up, and that answer only exists in that doc. I tried to get everyone who was involved in the stuff at the end to answer the questions as best they could.
MM: Matt Miller (Positron)
JH: John Hegner (Protean)
JAH: Jeff Hamilton (Arbiter Hawk)
SM: Sean McCann (Dr. Aeon)
RG: Ryan Greene (Viridian)
TS: Tim Sweeney (Black Scorpion)
If there is a miracle and somehow CoH is saved, we reserve the right to change any and all answers given in the doc, to maintain suspense and surprise.
I truly believe that NCSoft was the best, and worst, thing that happened to CoH. I think the game became much better after the sale...well..until the betrayal.
Thank you Matt and team.
NCSoft.....go pancake yourself. -
So, I've decided I want a new computer....and while I usually build my own I haven't done that for a few computers now.
My requirements are pretty straight forward
At least an intel i5.
At least an Nvidia 670
At least 8-10 GB of RAM
I've hit the big box retailer in the area (best buy) and a smaller shop (micro center) and it seems like no one is selling big pc's at the brick and mortar store. Most try to scrimp and put an nvidia 640 in the case, which is a good video card, but its not a 'true' gaming card.
Has buying a gaming pc always been this hard to find at retail?
Also, is the 640 comparable to the 670?
Is this a first world problem or what? -

I didn't report clones.
I didn't understand why so many people who played SWG were upset about it being shut down until August 31.
I did report clones....and well...I sometimes made them...though I tried to be obscure as possible.
My favorite heroine was Mary Marvel, so I made an evil Mary dressed in black named Teth-Mary. Never got caught (amalgam of Black Adam and Mary Marvel) -
Quote:That's right!!!!Originally Posted by White Hot Flash
That's about how I feel about this particular situation.
Anytime you buy Time in advance, you're running the risk that you won't be able to actually use it when the time comes to do so.
And whoever stockpiled thousands of points "just in case" gets no sympathy at all. Why would you spend money for points you might use later when you can just spend money for points that you want to use right now? Why should a company refund someone for poor planning by the customer? If this sounds harsh, it's called Life. Welcome to it.
If I were looking for refunds, I'd stick to game time only. Microtransactions are usually "buyer beware."
(girls..don't wear a short skirt around this guy...just sayin') -
Quote:Did this happen to be on Justice? back in the day I seem to recall my empath getting kicked and something similar happening....Originally Posted by MisterMagpie
Once, I was on a team and there were two empaths (me and another), the leader spontaneously kicked the other with no warning and said something that amounted to not wanting doubles when we all went 'wtf!'. We'd been having no problem on our missions before thatt.
I spent the rest of the mission 'accidentally' letting him die and being really apologetic each time, and reporting back to the other empath.
And this amounts my only semi-evil act in the game. -

Airmen on Liberty were a strong group. When we showed up for a mission, we were held in esteem.

Just talked to their live chat. They no longer are offering a free trial. I'm not going to plop down $50 on a game that I doubt I will like.
I don't want to be an elf, or a gnome or a fairy (not that's there's anything wrong with it). I want to be in the modern world (or post modern). However, I won't plunk down 50 bucks on a game I'm kinda 'meh' on.
(In full disclosure I didn't like CoH when I first played it...damage was too little....then again on an emp/energy def what did I expect? stuck with it, changed to an issue 0 AR/Dev blaster and loved it) -

7.5 years of paid subscription and multi-accounts for many of those years and I'm stuck with:
Limited Forum access
No access to SGs
No access to my characters on Exhalted
Paragon Points that are worthless
Because I happen to be on the first break I've taken from the game when this happens. Another kick in the teeth from NCSoft. I will never purchase a product of theirs again.

But hey, I'm sure the NCSoft CEO got another golden plunger for his 3rd yacht. -
How much XP do you think NCSoft got for killing Paragon Studios?

Quote:My first toon way back at launch was an empath/energy defender.Originally Posted by Muse to my Ears
I can't believe it! It has been so great playing! I think I might cry a little. I had so many plans fr the next year and new builds I wanted to try out. I 'm sad to say bye to the most amazing class...the defenders....we weren't held by conventional "heals" we were something more. We were the most diverse AT.
We had out bubbles and debuffs, heals, and soft control. We took care of our friends and tried our best, no matter the situation.
This was always something a little more than a game to me. I drew comics since I was a little kid and had my own band of misfits characters i've had for ages. I found it to be the most fantastic thing. To bring my black and white drawings into color, with sound. I will miss all the great memories and times i've had on here. I'm not sure what I will do next....still in shock....but I will never forget all the good times I've had here...
I still remember when the respec trial came out....I was level 28 with a horrible build slotted with TO's.
He's still sitting at level 42...maybe I should get him to 50 before the anti-matter sweeps through.
