Lord_Apollon

I am curious if out-of-game elements can be used, such as inserted audio or video clips?

Hmm... I see "The Two Faces of Apollon" coming to pass...

Let's see, sunday I turn 32, I work a day job fixing up computers, am developing my true passion for movie making by shooting a film this fall. My demo reel (including some B&W footage of myself) can be found here.

Well, this weekend I'm being kidnapped for my birthday, so I won't be here then. But I will be on most nights from 8-11pm est otherwise.

Looks like a good selection for an introduction video now. Ok, so when is everyone free in the next few weeks?

A note for Mastermind TA users, the Scirroco Patron Pool first-choice attack is an ideal igniter of the Oil Slick, and you do not even need to be targeted on it, just on an enemy near the center of the slick, as it is a cone attack.

VEAT Comment - I've kept Flame ignorant to VEAT because I spend four months getting a level 50 hero on my second account so her and her sisters could fly at level 1 as an alien. If you think "Are we there yet?" is annoying on a car trip, try these on for size:

"Are you 50 yet?"

"Did you find all the glowies yet?"

"Are they all defeated yet?"

"Have you got my next level for me yet?"

"Are we in a big team yet?"

Or having to go to Pocket D and see War Witch just about everytime we login together.

Now, do those about a hundred times in a row and see if you start mumbling "Cthulhu fhtagn" under your breath like I do.

Hehehe, sounds like me and Greg, save his favorite guy in the game is the Back Alley Brawler, and he once decided on making a "photo shoot" of BaB once. He used the camera emote and kept goung around him going "oh yeah, pose it, pose it, work it, work it..." told my wife he was watching too much of her "Americas Next Top Model" for his own good....

egads, I guess electric is popular....

Whoops, forgot to ask for server.

Awhile back I began work on making a villain version of a "meet the archetype" hero video posted a few years back. Since then, the hero video has quietly vanished, but I still want to do the video, save after the work I began a few months ago (thread vanished, no idea why) I realized a simple 30-40 second clip of an AT was not being fair, so instead I'm going to do a true breakdown video for each AT.

I could use help here, namely your toons. As I began with the villain idea, I'll start with villains first. Let's do each AT at a time, so I don't get so overwhelmed.

so, for the first video, let's do:

BRUTE

So, if you'd like your brute in the Brute video, post here with your butes name, global,, level and powersets.

*edit* and server! Almost forgot server

Almost forgot about this thread.

An update about my son. After several months struggling to behave in school, and a battery of tests, they've diagnosed him with a brain bloodflow irregularity, which is creating ADHD. Taking some common antimigraine medication, and he's right as rain, and back on CoH on the weekends. So, if you see on Pinnacle a character with "Wa Shabusi" in the name, or named Hen(series of numbers) wave hi to him. 8) Lately we're been teaming Wa Shabusi with Ninja Wa Shabusi, two tankers.

In addition, he has a toon on Champion, Dark Mama (his name, not mine) which was his attempt to look like his mother.... explaining to him that his mother does not wear a veil and sport wings fall on deaf ears tho.

So proud of that boy.

Ok, decided on sitting down and finishing up the list and the original thread has vanished. Bizzare.

Ok, need to start from scratch, again.

if he has another good week, he gets his CoH account back! I'm so proud of my little alt-itis-monster!

The kid made more toons in 1 hour than I thought physically possible. Random button till he liked it.

sounds familiar, my 5 year old son plays with me as well sometimes. I even upgraded his computer so he can play on HIS system, as he likes to remind me. So cute!

Altho his original costume attempts... hooooorible. But he's gotten much better at it now.

On the announcements board I listed that I'm getting off my butt and doing the Archetype video I talked about 2 years ago, and looking for help. And I totally forgot to ask on here, where the artlovers hang out. So, if anyone would like to join in the fun, post and let me know so we can get this together.

My first MMO was CoH. I tried EQ2, WoW, and everything you've said is so right! When I was in WoW I actually asked where the mission door was, and had a whole broadcast of confusion. The concept of an instance at level 2 boggled them.

Bravo indeed! Very well done.

But where is the CoH RPG for the past 3 years?

[/ QUOTE ]
From the To Make You Cry files: Darren Watts* of Hero Games said at one point on their boards that they approached Cryptic/NCsoft about licensing and were rebuffed. Now that the CoH RPG's reputation is in the toilet after 3 years of vaporware from Eden, he said he's no longer interested.

* Might have been Steve Long, but I'm pretty sure it was Darren.

[/ QUOTE ]

I had lunch with Steve Long at GenCon (at the sports restaurant across the street from the main Con) and discussed (amongst business possibilities between our respective companies) City of Heroes. Let's just say it was a brief discussion.

Early on in our talks about the novels this summer with NCSoft, we mentioned the possibility of salvaging the RPG concept. They were pretty uniterested. Whether this is because Eden is still clinging on to the contractual term-of-life like a drowning man in a tsunami, or just a general lack of interest in licensing it again after the Eden fiasco, is unknown to me. That isn't the type of question one asks a potential licensor.

The second I catch wind that NCS is working on a "sequel" for higher end PCs and possibly PS3, and there's still no concrete plans for the current product beyond the next issue . . .

[/ QUOTE ]

No, THAT is the exact thinking that brought us New Coke and, as far as the MMO Industry is concerned, the NGE over in SWG.

A lack of understanding of one's consumer-base.

Even IF a CoX 2 is designated as a real possibility by NCSoft, I can't see them completely abandoning the original anymore than SOE shut-down EQ1 when EQ2 launched (and EQ1 is STILL supported, mind you).

I predicted to expect a change in business model for CoX over the next year, not a DOOM or end to CoX. Sooner or later, though . . . yes . . . SOME of the money pumped into "Cox 1" or just "CoX", if you will (if there isn't a sequel), will be put into other projects and endeavors. That is just the nature of MMOs, and general product shelf life in general.


[/ QUOTE ]
What would a CoH 2 bring that couldn't be done with expanding the original? EQ2 came about because the original Eq engine was too limited. But CoH is incredibly flexible. I could easily imagine the war walls coming down, new AT's and Powersets, new combo systems, etc all within the same game framework.

We could even say that we're playing CoH 10 already.

Here's to hoping this announcement is DOUBLE good news for me. Staffing up GOOD!

For those interested in gainful gaming employment, check out the NCsoft North America Jobs Listing. Positions for "Mountain View" would be in our newly formed NCsoft NorCal Studio.

Bah, you only need a Windows PC Technician/Administrator. Windows is so 90's! UNIX is king now, with Linux, BSD and OS X on the rise! (plus, Windows sucks for development)

j/k, altho Server Engineer is veeeeery tempting, as that is what I do now. Admin'ing an MMO server would be a lot easier to admin'ing a Magazine server....

Ok, let me see...

We have the team, check.

We have the game, check.

Ok, now NCSoft... about that port to Linux and Mac OS X.....

Who hasn't done the 'fake disconnect' xD /em smack

heh, I don't even need to do the fake disconnect. ssh into my router, and "oh my, my LAN just reset"....

Hey, I have a guy in the SG for Misfit Toons! Way to go!

Now, to try and get the Champions of Justice back in order....

True, but I don't have the means to run undr multiple OSes. ^_^

Linux LiveCD's and VMWare, don't leave home without them. 8)

Heck,for all I knew before testing that doorway ... getting stuck could have crashed the instance completely, and even crashed my client, or my computer. Lord only knew, until I tried it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hence why I run on a myriad of different options, from Windows XP to Windows 2k under VMWare (don't recommend that BTW) or Linux. What will bug in one might not in another.

Tried this morning to build a basic base for my VG. Put in the control room, the little arcane table to give control and power... nada. It isn't producing anything. Needless to say, less than thrilled. The combo unit is sitting there with a little lightning bolt floating over it.
