Howabout encouraging consistency in play by ranking the 'titles' based on a character's notoriety (prestige-based) or experience (level-based).
At the moment we have...
Blood Sevant - New member
Court Knight - Lvl 20 + 15000 prestige earned
Black Guard - Lvl 30 + 100000 prestige earned
Dark Templar - Chosen by the countess, leader of 1 of the 5 'houses/factions', at least a Black Guard
High Lord - Lvl 50, Chosen second in command, at least a Black Guard
Blood Countess - Bathory Erzsebet
will be...
Apprantice - New member
Hunter - Lvl 20 + 15000 prestige earned
Slayer - Lvl 20 + 100000 prestige earned

Further to the conversation I had with Pious today IG - although I don't have any characters, at present, who'd fit with this group, I'm more than happy to dream up some demons, ghosts, ghouls and other things that go BUMP! in the night
for you to run into.

Hehe, as much as I hate to say it, it is kind of the name of some obscure novel, a 1996 horrow movie and also this old school videogame. I especially like the game because it looks like us. Pious brandishing a cross and some nutcase vampire hunter wielding a stake and hammer! Come to think of it, isn't that victim Arctic Princess? That wanna-be Dracula one of yours Bathory?

Night-Watch is free
I like this one .. it holds a nice ring... -
The following names suggested here I like best...
- Malleus Maleficarum (A famous treatise against witches. Translation: Hammer of the Witches)
- Judicators (Literally means 'Judges')
- Nighthunters
If a second SG on villains is needed we can easily avoid using a dot behind the name by placing 'The' in front of any of these names. Its a trick I have done before.. and it works.
I am also not really in favor of an alt sg... as it is rather easy to make a rank called 'Alt of member'. Therefore keep all in one sg.. With a member count of 150 possible this is much easier to manage. Aside of that... Small scattered SG's is a prob on prestige gain. You will get in problems when you want to build a base. -

I like it, but shall we have Montague Castanella from the Midnight Squad gather us for tasks instead? I think its time we got this idea up on it's two feet. I'll begin a forum roleplay title for us to join and continue to use this for OOC chatter. Any objections to us being known as Slayers and working by an Order of the Seven Saints?
Saints will be viewed as catholic.
What about Nighthunters?
It is a name that is suggesting that we keep the enemies alive once in a while. And its unrelated to any religion. By going for Nighthunters instead of Nightstalkers there will also be no problem with Marvel copyright. -
And me building a spaceship... Great idea... And I will so use it to make a few windows in it.
Thanks!
ps. Did you do anything to make the walls behind the stars more black or just light? You could use the MRI scan to make almost black walls. -
Oh.. I was thinking of an IC way to get together and thought that Liz her origin arcs could work well. They start with a gathering by the Menders. In our case the Menders would just gather several specialists on demon and vampire hunting.
We do the jobs... and afterwards we stick together as team.
It is like the origin of the Avengers.. but with a twist. What do you think?
(ps. My origin arc(s) is two parts and involves hunting 'real' demons, vampires, ghosts, mages, and monsters) -
hmm.. if the PPD can have 'To Protect and Serve' we could go with 'To Search and Destroy' as SG name.
or...
Hellsings' Followers
Monster Hunters
Ghostbusters
Let the Night Beware
What the Night Fears
Nightstalkers (might be tm Marvel)
Nighthunters
Spawn Killers
Making the SG name sound like one specific religion might not be a good idea. Unless we're funded by the Vatican. Desert Princess is Muslim... and a lot of other cultures and religions know about demons, vampires and the likes.
A monster hunter SG is not religion bound... although I gather it will often be the religious types doing the hunting. But that can be from any religion. -
Quote:No players on Union villains? Youre talking to the leader of one of the biggest villain SG's. I never had any problems forming teams. Hook up with some active SG's... and get youre self on the UNION badgehunter channel. If youre problem is on DEFIANT... transfer to UNION.Originally Posted by SinergyX_EU
Yes, why not spent even more money? With the fee i paid already i can probably keep all people in this topic active untill CoH2 will be released, why spent even more money if NC is plain to ignorant to even look at certain accounts, that missed the loyalty badge or 60month vet due any reason beyond their (or actualy within NC's) control?
GR may just be 'just a new feature', for me it still holds faith i can stay on the EU servers. All my villains are just standing there in a totaly deserted place, no reply to whispers, no one free to join my team, like some freaking single player game.
this is a MMO and i play this game for the first M, i dont mind the money if i can play within a 'massive' envoriment, yet clearly NC just doesnt seem to care.
And two expansions in over 5 years is not really milking money. If you want that you should switch to World of Warcraft. -
I am interested in this... from two sides even...
I have a hero toon as international hero idol who is a living prison of an evil dzinn... Desert Princess. She is in no way a fan of demons. And a Assault Rifle/sonic toon that can easily be fitted as he doesnt have a bio yet... El Mariachi...
Ofcourse I have the Court of the Blood Countess that you automatically set as ic enemy here. Whahahahahahaha... foolish mortals... -
Quote:If you buy Going Rogue as pre-order you will also come into the Beta. Why not do that as soon as its possible?Originally Posted by GibberingLunatic
I didn't mention that not getting the badge is directly influencing my desire to quit.
Only that all I have to look forward to is the same repetition untill Q2 of 2010 for Going rogue instead of hoping that the beta will end up being sooner. I said I was getting "burnt out" on the game as I have on several others where I just end up getting bored and move on for awhile.
Not getting into the beta just gave me a decent excuse to move elsewhere for awhile till GR comes out.
and now I'm pondering goin back to Anarchy Online... -
Quote:Completely same package... I havent been long enough in CO to even experience the halloween event to it s fullest. I keep coming back to COX. Oh well... 3-4 logins a month for CO... its been paid in full anyway.Originally Posted by Defcon_Kid
Quoted and completely signed! I must be one of so many players that, starving for any news about future Issues and GR, and bored for playing the same tfs all the time, bought a lifetime sub on CO, but admittedly, I think it was a total waste of time and money, because I just logged in there twice in the last 3 months... event after event after issue after event after issue after event here in CoX! And more things to come (Christmas event, probable Issue, GR Closed Beta, etc.)! I'm stickied to you since June 2005 and will be completely hooked til Hell freezes over!
I love the badge! And I am working hard to get my villain on 500+ badges... 464 now. Good to hear that there are even enough badges Villain side to reach 666.

Wished they would set up just one test server we can all access too so we can see each there
One big Beta community...
And a good test to merge EU and US community... -
Great work.. must have taken soo much time to get all the shots for this. And that is aside of the recreation of the toons you couldnt acces..
Keep it up.. this is entertaining
-
35 as level cap again may be a bit harse. But steps should be taken to make sure no leechers are there. Maybe a 3 min and then auto tp to hos would be a good idea? Like a more intelligent hospital for the vanguard.
Removing the AE building from this warzone and into pocket D in any way has my vote. Outside the building where it fits and where it looks cool on a floating rock with a tp acess to it. -
hmm.. isnt Goying Rogue out around Easter? That would be the perfect time to expect this bunny back...
Enjoy youre break m8! -
Quote:Yes... For the lower populated servers getiing 50 +45 together is an almost impossibility. Getting them selected in groups and AT's is even harder.Originally Posted by Lady Arete
Can only speak from Union.
Since the new hamidon I can count on the fingers of one hand how many times there has been a Hamidon raid.
One of the few successful ones where the first hamidon raid after issue 9 hit (took us 7 hours).
The reason I think... not enough people. Could be the timing set etc.. but most of the raids have also ended with fail. (Looking at a previous post in this thread and envies Virtue)
Each failed attempt have made it not worth it in many peoples eyes (Too much debt, too little reward etc).
Only been on one redside raid aswell, did not go very well.
The one we are planning to do now... well I hope it will work out or it might be the last nail in the coffin for us vs Hammi.
I think that Hami should be co-op and make it possible again for UNION and all servers with a lower population. -
Actually.. this is more as a request for a complete revamp of our dance emotes. They are spastic and useless... not like any dancemoves ever!
A series of new ones or a change of the old ones... Preferably all very good recognisable dancemoves...
- Jackson
- Travolta
- Ballroom
- Bollywood -
What is alien?
To the alien he is normal and humans are aliens... -
What the origins mean is set in stone through the official manual that came with City of Heroes... but... ofcourse we are free to chance what we like. I will never do that though, as its a part of destroying my immersian to the game.
Natural
Natural abilities is all that is normla for what you are. Natural to what you are. And enhanced through training. Skills gained. Batman is natural... But Superman is natural too. He is an Kryptonean and has nothing more then every Kryptonean has.
Mutant
Those born with their abilities... but a mutation through evolution of the natural order of their species. X-Men are all mutants...
Science
Normal/natural who gains his abilities through an accident or scientific process. I know that its said that they mutated after that. But this is still originated in a scientific process. Spider-man, Hulk, Flash and the Fantastic Four are all science in origin.
Magic
Normal/natural who gains his abilities through the use of magic. Either by using an artifact that was magically enhanced or through the study of mystical/other dimensional energies and learning how to use those. Some good excamples are sorcerers and witches like Dr. Strange and Zatanna. Magical artifacts users are Dr. Fate and Bloodstone.
Technology
Normal/natural who uses high-tech to be able to do special feats. Armor, belts, boots and devices. Robots are included here too. He can create these things himself or he can have another make them. Good excamples are Robots like Vision and the original Human Torch, Cyborgs like DC's Cyborg or Marvel's Deathlock, Armor wearing guys like Iron Man and Dr. Doom... the latter even a robotics creator too.
Officially the game stated that the missions granted are set to the origin picked. And ofcourse the enhancements differ... even if its only in the availability. Some shops are harder to get too then others.
I guess what the OP is actually talking about a second inherit ability locked on the origin where the one we have now and the one that is locked to the AT. If done right this can be cool... but dont overdo it and keep it balanced. -
Being able to set different animations to travel powers the same as is done with the powersets is something that is needed here. The tech is not there... the system is not the same... But it is essential to the way we see travel powers.
CO doesnt have 15 travel powers.. they have more animations and effects on one power. Flying on a hover board or with flame aura is still fly as power. Same limitations, same movement. In case of CO's fire fly the version we have in COH is actually better in the way it looks. Have you ever tried to use fly with a full body fire aura at lvl 30? It looks much better.
When the power interface is there you can add or remove power (animations/aura's/effects) to or from the travel powers at will. Therefore you can exclude the powers that had to be paid for through packs or boosters. Then combine all those powers into one Travel power booster that can add them and sell that seperate. It is the functionality that is needed here.
As I suggested in http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=199418 -
so... its an implementation suggestion. This is not an impossible feature ...
Really.. sure there will be need for new code. And I understand that stance and animation are different things. This setup is what is eventually needed. It allows the travel powers to grow and the effects, stances and animations to be diverse and choosable.
This is basically a part of the travel/pool power customisation. And should be done right. Even if some work is needed.
Again... To set this up is NOT impossible! It is more then a simple animation on a power... in some cases a lot of animations even... I know... but NOT impossible. Aside rom that.. This list is a far wishlist. The basic layout would involve only the basics of which we have the majority already.
Be positive and think in solutions. Burning down idea's have been shown to be stupid before... after they where implemented anyway. Think 'Walk', 'Super Side Kicking', 'Power color customisation', Power Animation customisation'. Do I have to continue? -
This sounds like something I would devinitly like. And thay can implement that to the website then too.
Only thing is that all interactivity with the game from outside sources (planned for instance to create the Vault/dbase) backfired because of stability issues. (at least that is what was said if I remember correctly)
