Now that the technology is in place, Issue 15 is our first opportunity to provide a number of more universally themed costume change emotes as part of a regular content update for all of our players. It's our goal that everyone, even those who didn't purchase the Magic Super Booster Pack, will benefit from the extra time and resources that we've devoted to creating these booster packs.

[/ QUOTE ]

And..............the final stake through the heart of B_I's paranoid fantasies about booster packs stealing all the good stuff from everybody else.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, you can compare Vines and Ulterior to, y'know, the content of the Valkyrie and Magic packs for starters, and see which one[s] have vastly superior content.

Because me, I view Magic as "good stuff" and tights patterns as "nice, okay stuff... but not stuff that knocks my socks off." Never said that we're never, ever getting any more costume pieces for free.

What i did say was that we'd most likely be paying for all the "knock your socks off" stuff; I see nothing here which makes me want to amend that. Nor do costume change EMOTES stand in for free costume content to me. If your mileage varies, have at it.

[/ QUOTE ]

The thing is, "Knocking your socks off" is entirely subjective. I know a few people who wern't happy with the past two booster packs, while I loved the cyborg pack.

I think the size of i15 has less to do with CO and more to do with being sandwiched between i14 and Going Rogue.

What, didn't you know? Champions Online (And Jack Emmert) is at fault for EVERYTHING. They forged the magic bullet, hired John Wilks Booth, spearheads the Illuminati, the free masons, and the NWO, caused the dissaperance of Emilia Airheart, was responsible for the troops not finding WMD's in Iraq, Killed Jimmy Hoffa, stole the contents of Al Capones vault, runs Area 51, bombed Pearl Harbor, eats babies, kicks puppies into the sun, tears the tags off of mattresses, and was responsible for Troy Hickman not winning an Eisner.

[/ QUOTE ]
In other words, Champions Online is a Nemesis plot?

[/ QUOTE ]

EVERYTHING is a Nemesis Plot. Except those times that it's not.

But when it's not a Nemesis plot, it's because it's a Nemesis plot.

Hey, there is no proof that they kicked any puppies into the Sun.

That's just what they WANT us to think. Unless... Unless your one of *THEM!*

Done. I doubt it's coming for another month, though. Then again, I haven't really fiddled with Beta much. There's a reason I'm glad I'm not chosen for Closed Beta tests

[/ QUOTE ]

They skipped closed beta and went to open beta as a way to make everyone feel included, and because there wasn't sweet **** all to test.

[/ QUOTE ]

They didn't skip closed beta, they just opened it up to everyone. The content that is up is still in the same unfinished, unpolished state that it would be in if the beta were closed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Except if it's open to everyone then it's not a closed Beta, it is, by definition, an open beta. So they skipped the closed beta.

This just in:

NCSoft has announced that it will be cancelling all of it's games (Including the in-the-works City of Heroes 2) so that it can focus it's intention on the true moneymaker: Lineage.

How does something this big go completely unmentioned in-game?

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, it gets mentioned all the time. Unfortunetly, super powered teens get emo and punch through reality, people get married and have their loved ones killed only to make faustian deals with super devils, mindwipes happen, you mix in a few infinate crises on infinate earths with an identity crises and the occasional civil war, and then a wizard or three does it...

It's suprising we can remember our own names, really.

For the record, "Incurable Chick Cancer" is probably the most fun to say phrase ever.

Am I the only one who's strongly reminded of the Issue 5 era right now? Massive anger on the forum over game changes, frenetic developer work, and an expansion on the horizon?

There's massive anger on the forums every issue. Don't worry about it.

I sense much fear in these posters... Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to Hate. Hate leads to the Dark Side.

That's the thing though, HE wasn't the one messing with people. He was reacting too much, yes, but he didn't *start* the crap with those guys, he simply said "no" and they went ballistic. There was a LOT of "no" "ballistic" that week, believe me, but most of it made sense while I was watching.

Now, he'd said some OTHER extremely unattractive things, which was more or less what did get the banstick deservedly.

Heck I had a quote from him about magic versus something... it was a while ago, in my sig. Just kind of to prove that he DID say things other than "no".

[/ QUOTE ]

I believe it was in relation to Harry Potter and muggles.

Pretty much everything he said in the weeks before his ban was pretty tame. The worst being "the ability to control magic runes has to be the stupidest mutant power I've ever heard of." Nothing major, considering some posters who remain on these forums.

Did you know that Snape snogged Dumbledore?

True story.

Wait for the "other game" to launch.

Then you'll see a massive return of old players who realize CoH is THE superhero MMO.

Just checkin' to see if we're representing @ E3...

I mean, with those other guys breathin' down our necks, it'd be nice to remind people that we're here.

At NYCC, CO had Defender there, posing for pictures. Is Statesman at E3, taunting Defender over his white tights?

[/ QUOTE ]

They showed a trailer of the upcoming City of Heroes movie. It seems that in order to make things more appealing to the mainsteam audience, Woody Allen will be playing Statesman, Morgan Freeman will be playing Manticore, and Robin Williams will be playing Lord Recluse.

It seems that in the movie, Nemesis (Played by Jack Black) and his best friend/Heterosexual life mate Backalley Brawler (Will Smith) will be forced out of their appartment building due to it being purchased by Countess Crey (Julie Newmar) in order to make way for a new chain of Snuckies convenience stores. BaB's and Nemesis, desperate for a place to live, will then dress up as women in order to live in an all womans boarding house owned by the Carnival of Shadows. There, they will learn how to love and get in touch with their feminine sides.

However, in a heartwrenching story of redemption and hope, Citadel (Patrick Stewart) will learn that he has a long lost daughter, who is infected with incurable chick cancer. He will then go on a soul serching journey to connect with the long lost daughter he never knew he had before she dies. Thankfully, he has help from a lovable pantless hobo (played by guest star Troy Hickman as himself) who will teach him to love again as they get mixed up with the lonesome drifter Castle (Samuel L. Jackson) who is hunting Warwolves in a quest to avenge the death of his one true love, Becky the Tarantula Mistress (Sigourney Weaver), who was killed in a traumatic wheat thresher accident).

This is all capped off when Positron (Adam Sandler) is accidently sent back in time thanks to the time travelling car built by the eccentric genius Dr. Brainstorm (Tim Allen). Now, stuck in 1955, he must then make sure his father and mother marry while trying to figure out how to generate the 1.21 Gigawatts needed to get him back home.

I'm betting it wins an emmy.

Rouge Demon Hunter is 29 on Virtue. She doesn't only hunt Rouge Demons but they are her specialty. She has a fierce hatred for them. That includes Scarlet Demons, Rose Demons, Fuschia Demons, Crimson Demons, and Cardinal Demons. She gets mildly annoyed by Salmon Demons.

has she teamed up with Wesley or Cordelia?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, but she has partnered with acute vampire who runs a detective agency called Angle Investigations.

Wasn't that Horus from the original comic runs' real first name? And I recall his schtick pre-kheld merger as being a dude with power armor and energy blasts.

Hrm, didn't think of that. If that's the case, it'd make it even more awesome.
