I totally agree with Lady. Samuraiko/Dark_Respite has put out some of the coolest vids I've ever seen and I'm sorry to say they are usually much more interesting than the 'official' ones that are put out. -
Quote:Not to mention the dozens of people who pointed out the AE exploits and massive farming potential BEFORE the issue went live. All that foreknowledge which was completely ignored when I15 was pushed out and then they issued those asinine dev announcements that anyone who takes advantage of the exploits that were already reported in Beta and still allowed to go live than those players will be subject to penalties. Additionally the badge retractions that also were talked about before the issue went live and yet still were put in and then quickly retracted which pissed off a LOT of people.Originally Posted by Rajani_Isa
yeah, the number of people complaining that it wasn't anywhere near ready for release, WTF are the devs doing putting this out, etc, despite the massive "THIS IS IN A CLOSED BETA STATE" warnings made me come close to attempting to removing my frontal lobe via my belly button...
It's for those reasons I think you won't see an 'open' beta like that from the get go for a LONGGGG time if ever again. -
Quote:Not everyone stays up to like 3 in the morning. Hell I use to retire for the night at 10pm and when I first told my friends at work that they nearly had heart attacks. It was inconceivable to them that an adult would ever go to bed any time before at least midnight lol At any rate yeah my normal bed time is usually midnight though sometimes I'll push it a bit. I'm one of those people that needs at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. If I don't then I'm useless the next day.Originally Posted by MunkiLord
Half asleep at 11pm!?!?!

Everyone was invited to the i15 beta. They stated before it started that participation in that beta would influence future decisions.

Quote:I still have no idea how they choose who gets in the closed beta for an issue and who doesn't. For instance I was in the closed beta for I12-14 but for some reason I didn't qualify for a spot in I15 or in this one. Why? I've really no idea. None of my gaming habits have changed since I14 but for some reason the Powers that Be didn't think me worthy of closed beta access which now how has me completely confused. I mean what changed between I14 and I15 to warrant not getting an invite?Originally Posted by Turgenev
Hear, hear. I just figure I'm on a "do not invite" list.
Maybe I shouldn't have called States a ravening lunatic when the whole "let's try to sneak in ED" thing blew up...
I suppose that's why the devs have never officially revealed what their criteria or qualifications are for access. In my case I'm a 63 month vet who sends in bug reports on the live servers all the time, plays well over 20+ hours a week, as well as time on the test servers and when I was in the other closed beta's I was very active in the Issue forums as well as reporting bugs. I can't possibly figure out what then has changed to explain exclusion this time unless they want to circulate the Beta testers every so often so that the same people don't always get in and others have a shot at testing it as well. Though if the whole purpose behind beta testers is to get the best people to accurately collect data and report bugs than why alienate those whom have already proved themselves?
Meh guess one day we'll find out. I can though at least take satisfaction in the fact that peeps like me and Turg are guaranteed a tier 1 spot in the closed beta of Going Rogue so at least that's cool

That's an incredibly complicated questions because it has multiple answers. If your talking plain SO's and 'powerful' as in pure damage mitigation. Stone would take that spot hands down.

yes we could, but being mad is just an after effect of being sad.
First sadness, then madness...

I really can't see there being THAT many 60+ month vets. I would say less than 100 and that's a pretty good pool to start a 1st wave of beta testers. After all we are talking about a lot of content and zones which all need investigating and testing.

Top Ten Features That Have Not Yet Happened In CoH
1) In Game Honeymoons: We have had in-game marriages and even got the Wedding Pack to buy. Now how about the next logical step? Let's put Stamina to better use!
2) Suburb of Heroes: Take 2 parts Sims and 1 part CoH and you get Suburbs of Heroes. You want to make the Son or Daughter of your favorite character? You want to REALLY get into the whole Day Jobs concept? Would you just love to get into building a deluxe model base? Here's the answer!
3) Random Missions: The monorail gets hijacked while you're riding from zone to zone... Some civilian you rescue while street sweeping asks you to do one more favor... An enemy you just defeated while sweeping had some random lead on him... Okay, so this one's not funny.. but it's still a pretty good idea.
4) Chat and Bio Automatic Spell Checker: For the love of all that's holy... PLEASE!
5) Farmer's Market: If you do the same mission more than once... if you run a mission that has only 1 specific type of enemy... if any player camps by the door... In short if you farm... you get no xp, no inf, no rewards... what do you get? Vegetables... lots and lots of vegetables.
6) Customization Overload!: Character customization needs to take a lightyear leap forward! No more choosing faces; we want to choose individual features! Select nose, mouth, right eye, left eye, right upper incisor, place freckle at facial coordinate 712,315... Oh my GAWD?! Is that a gray hair?! Initiate plucking sequence!
7) Uber-Epic-Gigunda-Major-Infinite-Mega-Archetype: Epic just isn't good enough anymore. It makes no sense that my god of war, death, pestilence, famine, root canals, taxes, and fluffy bunny slippers has to start out at first level like a common hero! I want an AT that starts out at 50th level and has ALL the powers available! And as for its inherent...? Nerf Resistance... Lots and Lots of Nerf resistance.
8) Multi-Class: I'm an RPG player! I'm old school AD&D dungeon master and player extreme! I don't want to play a freakin' Fighter... I want to play a half-elven Fighter/Cleric/Mage with access to the Rogue skills. I don't care if my hero advances about as quickly as a glacier on a slow day; as long as I can run my Tank/Blaster/Defender I'll be happy! I can always Farm to get past the early levels... hey... what's with all these vegetables?
9) Hero Patrons: I LIKE the villain patrons.. and hero patrons make a heck of a lot more sense than the villain ones do.. since we all KNOW how well those villains get along with being told what to do. The other great reason to do this is because we can see how the Devs handle creating the Blue Steel patron powers... Do they stick with the standard canon or do they venture into the Chuck Norris forum perception?
10) Cross Overs: Every comic book company in the world has had cross-overs with the competition. Superman has fought the Hulk, Batman and Spiderman have squared off dozens of times. Well... I want my cross-overs! I want to see how my claws/regen scrapper stands up to Wolverine! The closest I've come so far is a PvP battle against Generic 001 234 567!
Seriously though while there have been some things mentioned in the past that never bore any fruit. I would have to say all the things added to the game and with the coming of power customization that the list of haves is far longer than our list of wants. -

Quote:While quite a few improvements has been made to Ice Melee. In all fairness the set is still severely lacking in terms of raw firepower and if that is what your looking for than move on because you won't find it hereOriginally Posted by SinergyX_EU
Since i already have 5 SS characters, i was looking at the Ice melee set.
A while ago they gave the tier9 footstomp alike power some damage (unlike the blaster version), and if i read correcty it now has the exact same stats regarding cooldown and damage. (no knockdown, but sleep, oh well).
I want to make another tanker, a shield one, but i got a bit fed up with SS.
In terms of overal damage, can ice come along nicely now? Ice is less common resisted then SL, and the -recharge of each power should help my survivability, but i dont want to spend 20 minutes pondering on a boss just to get him down. (KO blow is awsome dmg).

Hello my fellow British and English speaking Europeans!
I'm a Brit, but have been playing on the US servers for about 5 years now. Nice to have some company
Hopefully we can make Doctor Who even more popular with these boards Such a pity that Matt Smith though is still over a YEAR away from our tellies! Though we still have some time left with David and the Master will soon be back with us at Christmas time so all is well.

Judging by the tone and content of your post....
Seeya man and can I have your stuff? I mean hell you've just essentially eliminated almost every reason why you should have come back or what there is to do in the game. So since you've already made the argument that coming back was pointless I suppose you'll be living again? So I reiterate... can I have your stuff

Quote:Trust me when I say... CO will NOT woo you in any way shape or form. It's about as entertaining as having your nads smeared with fish paste and dangled in a pool of hungry piranha.Originally Posted by Necrotron
If CO manages to woo me, I'll be on CO. I may remain on both MMOs for a month while I wean myself off Paragon.
If CO doesn't woo me, I'll stay on CoX.
This is a nice bonus, and assuming I stay behind, I'll be in the GR beta. So in conclusion, either way, I win.
All that said, this is a patently transparent attempt to patch up the hull of a ship leaking subscribers, if indeed it's leaking at all. It's still in the air whether or not the Other Place will be all that. They still have a month of beta. -
I for one am overjoyed that we can now interact with our brethren from across the pond Welcome my UK brothers and sisters!

Hmm... 3 posts.... just registered today. Me thinks this is someone who just dinged their 3rd level 50 in AP today and now that THEY have the 50's they want it's all "Down with AE it's ruining the game!". A sight I have seen way way WAY too many times now.
