That was just amazing! Wonderful choice of song, it's a perfect fit.

Make a Water Blast/Ice Manipulation Blaster named "Resurgence" and play him to 50 and Incarnate him out before doing anything else.

Mwa-hahahaha!!!!

My revenge scheme?

I plan on living well!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Laugh with me!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I hope the fact that we haven't heard back on our questions is a good sign ... (crosses fingers)

This will look awesome decorating my Facebook Wall!

Thanks!

OOPS ... looks like someone further down scooped this already.
I was just so excited. Who knows what they'll be talking about, but even if it's "Thanks and good-bye" It'll be worth hearing.

Let's all tune in!

Akron Ohio here!

I see everyone else has the good taste to be from elsewhere.

Hopefully we'll know the answer to this question and others tomorrow, if the Devs are able to run their "Q&A" here on the message boards.

Stay tuned!

Every one of the characters in my sig.

I developed the story of each in great detail over the eight years, five months I've played and each is like a kid to me. I've managed to incarnate out the majority of them, and all of them have and Alpha slot power and a Judgement power at least.

Except my last one, Kings Row Hornet.

Pedro Hart was born with dwarfism and, although it set him apart from the majority of humanity, he never let it be a handicap. His childhood in Kings Row was tough, his angry and abusive father who worked the night shift in the garment district, thought little of him or his mother.

When Pedro developed his mutant ability to convert sunlight into electromagnetic energy, his father changed for the worse. One evening he fell into madness. He fumed and ranted to his wife, it wasn't enough that she made his only son a dwarf, but now he was a soulless, less than human mutant. When his father's irate ramblings devolved into physical violence, young Pedro stepped up to protect his mother - but it wasn't with super powers, it was with his fists.

That evening his father left, never to be seen again.

Pedro kept his secret hidden but, as he grew up on the streets, he discovered he had inherited his fathers anger. He sat by as crime rose and gangs began to prowl the streets in broad daylight. It wasn't long before he found himself taking the law into his own hands to protect the people of Kings Row. But to protect his mother, he chose to wear a mask. The Kings Row Hornet was born.

As time went on, he took his energy powers to fight crime throughout Paragon City, though his heart was always in Kings Row.

Pedro Hart/Kings Row Hornet is an Energy/Energy/Energy Blaster. He was one of the first characters I made for this game. I had a bittersweet moment last night when I finally dinged level 50 with him. It was like my entire gaming experience with City of Heroes had come full circle.

After achieving Security level 50, Hornet had a dream - the Menders of Ouroboros were calling him to something greater, offering him a way to achieve great power to protect the world ... maybe even the universe. His powers could be used to help stave off something called the Coming Storm. All he had to do was travel to Ouroboros and learn about the Well.

Pedro knew then what he must do.

Putting on his best suit, he returned to Kings Row. He walked the streets and alleys of his beloved town, arresting every criminal along the way. Then he cleared the block around his old apartment and went to be with his mother.

In this day when heroes would be gods and fight off the evils of the universe, there still needs to be someone that stays behind, protecting the forlorn and forgotten.

May Kings Row Hornet's future be a good one, I'll miss him a lot.

I remember when you couldn't attack a fleeing enemy and you had to run in front of him to hit. My first scrapper (Broad Sword/Regeneration) took "Taunt" just to try to bring them back. Ugh.

Though I'm scoping out some replacement hobbies (which will be dropped if CoH can be saved), I'll be here at the disconnect too. I love every day I've spent playing these last eight years and five months.

Hope to see you all there at the end of the world!

I'm going to miss this game a lot. You guys put forth 100% and more at times to make CoH/, in my opinion, the best game in the industry. My best to you and all the rest of the Paragon Studios guys/gals. Good luck, and let us know what game you end up working for next so I can subscribe to it!

Though you don't know me, I'm going to miss you a lot Z., and the fabulous employees of Paragon too.

This game will always be the bright spot of my gaming life!

I've been with this game since Sept. 10, 2004 and have played it and enjoyed the whole time.

I'll be here to the end as well, and I hope the friends I made here will stay in touch. In the end that's the most valuable thing I've gained!

My knowledge of Villain-side Task Forces is laughably thin, I've done (to my remembrance) one of the Respecs and the one with the big winking monster eye in a cave.

Hero-side, other than the Shard Task Forces, I've played them all. Most of the "new" Task Forces (Katie Hannon and after) are really great, excepting the Dr. Kahn TF which is fun up until the fight with Reichsman. That last fight is such a tedious slog and after three times I promised myself "Never again". After finally completing it for the first time, it was like passing a kidney stone. The relief from the pain is incredible but you never want to have to go through that again. Would it be better with Incarnate powers? Probably, but likely I'll never be able to say.

I really enjoy the first two missions of the Admiral Sutter Task Force. The floatilla and Talos/sewers missions are great fun. The last mission can be frustrating at times but with some good players it's highly entertaining.

The new Positron parts 1 and 2 are great, and the Penelope Yin TF is like a perfect date - fun and fast but easy to forget.

The Imperius Task Force is always a blast and, along with Apex and Tin Mage Task Forces, are probably my favorites in the game.

Hopefully we'll continue to see Task Forces like these added to the game in the future!

It's just a matter of perception.

BEFORE the Paragon Market, we only got new power sets during the release of SOME issues.

Now, we get power sets released with every issue, PLUS more power sets available on the Paragon market.

See, it's just a perception issue.

The Doctor: What is that?
Amy: It's a duck pond.
The Doctor: Why aren't there any ducks?
Amy: I don't know. There's never any ducks.
The Doctor: Then how do you know it's a duck pond?
Amy: It just is.

I'm gathering that Thirty-Seven is talking about the character being PLed, the character sitting by the door while the other individual does all the work.

It takes no observable skill to door sit and absorb xp, I think that was his meaning.

Knowledge is the meat of having skill, and practice is the skeleton.

However, panic is the soul. You can always tell a truly skilled player by how he handles the terrifying "OH CRAP!" moments in the game.

Nope, it doesn't stack with itself.

I have a Force Field/Radiation Blast Defender that I *hate* soloing. I created Lady Hadron nearly 8 years ago on Virtue and, in that time, had managed to get her to level 16. During the Summer Event Blockbuster Missions I decided to revisit her and managed to gain two levels. During the Double XP Weekend I played her again, she's now level 25.

I have to say that, on teams, she's much more fun (and effective). I can give my fellow squishies status protection and some moderate Defense - and the DEF Debuffs from Rad matter much, much more.

In addition to horror, some of Lovecraft's stories are straight-up science fiction or fantasy, too.

A few of my favorite Lovecraft stories that I recommend highly are:

The Rats in the Walls
The Call of Cthulhu
Pickman's Model
The Colour Out of Space
The Dunwich Horror
The Whisperer in Darkness
The Shadow Over Insmouth
The Thing on the Doorstep
The Shadow Out of Time

Read in the dark near a simple, low-powered light (or candle) on a stormy night!
