If there will be a COH2 version that is completely seperate.. they will split up the COH players in two... as many will never stop playing the old version. Splitting up the player base is not a good idea. The merging we have now of COH and COV is proof that the devs see that problem too.
I would say evolve the game ... not start over and have COH and COH2 next to each other. I see that going wrong in many ways. People still play the 2 D Ultima Online as they dont want to abandon their old toons... do we want that effect on this game? -
I am actually not so sure fitness as inherent is a good thing. It was one of the things that made people think about which powers to take. One of the things that could completly go wrong in a build.
So making powerful builds becomes easier... the game becomes easier... again! Do we want it so easy?
I am not sure... -
Quote:Child cruelty is NOT something Liz likes or wants to do.. In this case it is totally Tomb on that. She was a mother of several herself and is not interested in hurting any. I already stated that it is one extra reason why she will hunt Tomb down herself.Originally Posted by Fanservice
The above is pretty much why I don't want to get involved and thanks for changing it so that's no longer a problem. There's certain lines of RP I don't particular like crossing and child cruelty or death is one of them. Invincible villains (Or heroes for that matter) are also kinda a personal peeve and when nuclear weapons aren't a threat I don't really see what my characters can do.
Which becomes a compound problem when my character is totally unable to meaningfully punish people who's actions lead to the death of children. Yes we do need villains to make the RP work, but I don't *want* these kind of Villains and I would not enjoy this kind of RP at all.
I never said Liz was unkillable.. Far from it even. But she is expecting an attack which means she has several escape routes pre-worked out. As would Dr. Doom has and even the smaller villains. And I am not playing her as a small bank robbing villain.
She is a vampire and a witch. Put a stake through her heart and she will die. Silver will stop her regenerating.. A cross or any holy symbol will hurt her... Holy water too... She can not enter churches.. she can not stand on holy ground. Just watch a movie on vampires and you know she is killable.
I just hoped some people would be able to except a villain that is actually roleplayed by someone and that can give some feedback in plans or effects. Or are villains not allowed to join in forum rp? Are they to be monitored and controlled? Control that which should be impossible to control?
Anyway.. end conclusion here is that we have a group of rp-ers on Union that love the comic book extreme in hero and villain plots.. and a group that is tight but mostly are only rp-ing about school events and relationships. And they are willing to ignore the extreme part of the rp community on Union for that reason.
So be it! -

Ah, and those of us who wern't online at the time get to just flutter in the wind?
Sorry but I cannot warn everyone everyday every moment. I did my best though. -
Quote:I told about the start of the Open Season and what it was on about in the Militia channel and on the Union RP channel. I chatted with a few of them.. Including Crimson Archer who told me he was not monster hunter enough for it to get involved.Originally Posted by Dante
I must have missed the memo...
I hoped it was at least read upon. -
Well.. what a nice thing to find when I finally find a working internet connection. I will try and bring my views and idea's here.
As start I want to say that this sub plot was C his idea and I gave my ok on a killing and mayhem. How big the killing was I had no real idea of.
-OOC-
The complete Open Season plot is very nicely written and a lot of fun. The starting idea was by Big Game to kill off some of his characters he want to kill off / delete.
As of the amound of children... 1000 are to many. I would say that several of these schools are in the city and each would have about 200-300 students. Shadowe his actual death count sounds the best to place there. If that helps people to be able to ignore it.. so be it!
The big problem for some of the players who never wanted to be involved from the start is the feel of being god-modded into action. As the story they where ignoring from day one (even though I warned everyone that this would turn out to become big on forum, PM and Union RP) cannot be ignored anymore. That would still be a prob if it was onl 12 children death as the paladinic hero would not ignore that either.
Villain rp needs to get some slack here.. as so few is done. Without a real villain no hero will have anything to fight. And stories end up dull. So discuss stuff and we can get to some kind of agreement. In this case there is a OOC for it... where you can talk and discuss with CB over it.
-IC-
Elizabeth was already looking for Tomb which would not end well for Tomb. She rubbed her completly the wrong way so to speak. As the event happened already and the robot was actually getting result taking down the Priest she let the attck unfold further. But she was once a mother and attacking children this way is not something she will agree upon. The robot was made by Tomb without Elizabeth her agreement on it.
She went out of the country for a meeting of the vampiric council (as I always do when I go on holiday) so sheis not there. But Tomb made her list for sure... It is just a matter of time.
She expects an attack... even big nuclear ones. She also made sure there are ways to survive this whole thing. If you think you cannot ignore it... and you like to be involved... that is why it is Open Roleplay. Please do!
Ofcourse heroes should hunt Elizabeth to death if they can.. As they should do with every court member. Ofcourse there is a prob with attacking the isles as Arachnos will not allow any heroic super force enter the isles. Even if it is to do something like this. And most of the court are 'almost' impossible to destroy permently.
-End-
I say change some till we are all in agreement and finally be able to play together here. If we are seeying this universe as one... we should be able to discuss it. THe whole Open Season and all around was started with warning to as many rp-ers as possible. This whole topic should be in the OOC part that was made for it. Change the things that people are having probs with and then keep it as being ic. Retconning it will be an insult to all who was involved. Lets respect each others creative input.
I wish Big Game was here to say his idea upon this... -
Welcome to the flock Chaos....

Bloody Welcome from the Red side... yes.. we have cookies. But you must earn them... whahahahaha...

Are you still coming as a box Kall....? If you do you will be unbeatable :S
So that would not be fair... -
Quote:Can you re-explain fire control/mastery on any vampire that is not a sorcerer?! Even the pure bloods... fire mastery is strange. Fire is one of the elements together with wood that can destroy a vampire.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Iron and silver, as far as I know, have never done squat to vampires anyway (thats werewolves.) and, even so, is not a known weakness of theres. Shooting vampires with anything unholy is about the same as if it wasnt there, unless its to the point of Chaos level magic, which f*cks everything and anything over anyway, and they are fairly resistant to holy items too, due to never having fully become 'dark children of the night' or other such stuff. Vampires, yes, unholy psychotic monsters no.
And yes, Leons mastery of fire, which gave him the name 'DeFeurard' passed to his children. Marie tends to rely more on the same traits as her father (healing very fast and stabbing anyone in her way) while Lawrence traded out some defensive capabilities for offense and lockdown (Fire/Fire Dominator)
For the record;
Leon: Katana/Regen scrapper with Fire Mastery
Marie: Dual Blades/Regen scrapper with Fire Mastery, not quite as good as her father
Lawrence: Fire/Fire Dominator with, you guessed it, Fire Mastery. Also, has Mez resistance, if not mez protection. He is, after all, a freaking vampire. Trying to scare him, Marie or Leon is about as much use as a chocolate hammer.
If people want to argue, I can happily supply builds for them, along with notes about any additional powers. Leon, for one, has a handbook page.
And yes.. I went for the regen holding powers of silver too. Too many lore uses it. Incl the movie Blade where the idea of Pure Bloods was made popular. -
As I only had Elizabeth Bathory (as second melee alt) walking around there I only have done the Loyalist - Power arcs.
I loved the fact that I could be massivly evil... murder and needless pain was common and I could actually pick those descisions myself. Finally (and this also counts for the tips) a villain can really be a villain.
Easy to say that both my Elizabeth versions end up very red. -
As long as it s a revamp from ground up of COX where we can still play our old toons even if they have to be ported over. Or the result will be another split in the player base.
-
((very busy with RL and GR... now I will also be on vacation the next three weeks. And the weekend following that there will be a COX Meet & Greet in Birmingham, England I will. So please try and fit Elizabeth in somewhere without too much fuzz. Rotten Luck and Devious Me can add a few lines to drag her along then post me up with status. I think they understand her personality enough to do so!))

I am on vacation..
Or I would be there...
Still eagerly awaiting a red side Raid... Maybe in 3 weeks when I get back I should co-start one there?! Do we have a tactical for a red side one? -
Quote:Back at Castle Bathory Elizabeth heard the message... She rose up floating almost motionless and her bloodred eyes stared in the empty space in front of her. But to her the space wasn't empty... she saw in her minds eye through the small sign Erez had drawn.Originally Posted by Thunderrar
"My Countess, there is some troubling events happening right now that bare your crest, I had sought to destroy this mockery of the Court but....now I could be wrong, I seek guidance on the subject.."
"Explain!?", she declared short but firm. And in the mids of the battle the sorcerer gave a fast description of the modified titan, its actions and the response of the Heroes of the city. Especially of the Priest!
"Although it would not be my first choice to attack and to kill children, I am rejoyced that it has a well desired effect. The deed is done... let the robot proceed. I don't know at the moment who made it... but that is not important right now.", she pauzed for just a second trying to see what was happening behind her Templar. "You gave a description of a wonderful machine... Try to repair any damage that has been done to it in the fight and let it run free. I am not in control of it but I am sure he or she who is will contact me in time." -
Still have to try this.. but thinking about the remarks hero and/or villain side...
Remember that (I guess) in 2 or 3 weeks all AT's will be everywhere. -
yes.. when you go past the first impression a lot still needs to be desired and have an unfinished look. Let s hope that improvements will come soon tm
-
Bloody welcome to all who came back!!!!
-
Hadn't had a chance to read the past days.. I like this
May need an image to show of the bloody crest too...
Even though it is not known who excactly set this up, Liz would still love watching the mayhem and killing on tv as if there was a good movie on. Erez better contact her before he stops it. -
I have heard from several ingame that they would come.. but who never read the forums.. or post. Some will try and bring friends...
We will see who will arrive.. :P -
I can best show what I mean... This is my history of purchase...
