Sheesh! So only Cuppa likes being a melee so far?

After dealing with these forums, I'd say jumping into melee in-game is probably a vacation in Hawaii in comparison.

She was going to be F/F/F but I didn't like the Fire ancillary pool as much as I had hoped I would.

OMG!!!!! The game is DOOOOOOOOOMED! Cuppa just confirmed it! Run for the hills!

Discussing possible Scrabble word combinations and scores is a sure sign that CoH is dying, if not already dead. Run for the hills. We are all doomed.

I'll happily sign your nerf bat!

We'll have giveaways - I can answer questions - David will be doing sketches (I think). I can't wait.

[jedimindtrick]You actually want to come to west-central Florida and not New York or Philly.[/jedimindtrick]

I hope to see you there.
There will be swag and Heroes is a great shop!

Ok so let me get this right. The winner wasn't chosen because his costume was good or because his story was original. They just wanted an agyptian costume and a character of egyptian origin to add this little snippet of information about the BotBS which is part of the card game.

That seems rather unfair since they didn't say that they wanted egyptian characters and it ruled out the chance of Kheldians chaacters being viable. If I'd know that I wouldn't have sent in my Warshade.

And no offense intended to the person who won but that costume is utterly terrible, dull in the extreme.

The character was chosen because we liked the background *and* the costume. I had the idea to tie him in to the Blood after he was chosen.

I'm just relieved that you did not choose Xanatos. His ego is hyperinflated enough!

I have this to say about Defiance....

Above level 40, the rate at which one's hitpoints can drop from 40% to 0%(even with the I5 HP boost) is so fast, that Defiance really has little discernable effect.

Darn it! I sooooo wanted to jump on the "Doooommm" bandwagon. This seemed the perfect time to do it, too.

Just wait until you find out that it'll cost $20 apiece to get yer ultra-rare Fulcrum Shift (or Eagle's Claw or Phantasm or . . )power . Don't forget - you'll need 4 in a deck to maximize your chances of winning. If not 4, then 3. . . or 5. . . or some other marketing based strategy of $$$ = winning to convince people that they need to buy boosters by the caseload. . .

Don't mind me. . . I've just burned out on the pay-to-win market a long time ago.

Amen. I detest the "collectable" aspect of these games. It takes what could be a fun game and turns it into card grab with the only winners being the ones with too much spare cash and the ones who charge $15 for a $5 pack of cards.

Not neccesarily.
I have quite often put together tournament-viable decks that had nothing but common cards in them, and made a lot of the 'high price players' eat their carboard.

Perhaps you have. My experience(limited as it is, thank God) has been entirely different. From what I've seen, the focus of the game is not on the game but on who has what and how much are they willing to sell it for.

"What's that?", "You want to PLAY the game?" "Bwahahahaha! What a loser."

Sorry DK, making anything in a game collectable creates an unsavory environment that I'd rather do without. Let the "collectableness" generate itself over time instead of taking "x" card(s) and deliberately limiting the number of copies of it there are.

I decided to take the cheap path and followed the "Go. Hunt. Kill Skulls. guide." What a mistake! People! Don't make the same error that I did. Accept no substitutes. Use only authentic "Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls."
