Oh come on, they do it as a labor of love because of how much they enjoy the game! It is not as though they get PAID to produce videos!

Methinks you will be waiting a looooong time for an "official" video from the "offical" marketing people in charge of attracting folks to the game.

Someone call a Saint Bernard to dig me out of this avalanche of irony.

Use the Kitty Eyes power on her, DE!

Ah, thanks DG, I had not seen that anywhere else. Comes with the territory of a new issue, I suppose.

So far, not too bad with i17 overall for me. I had been on about two months before i4 hit back in 2005, and I had 14 crashes the first day I played. (Of course, I am now required to say that I was GRATEFUL to even be playing, and today's whippersnappers do not know how good they have it! And get off my lawn! )

Fastest place to look is in the Global tab right after you enter the game with a character.

He clearly feared he would succumb to the Awesome Power that is Kitty Eyes.

*sigh*

She requested that I not.

*waves UnSub along*

I am reminded of a scene in "Zulu" after the battle has raged for twelve hours or so in which Lt. Chard presses Lt. Bromhead for the answer to a question he asked him. Bromhead finally answers, and Chard begins to critique his answer.

Bromhead looks at Chard and says, "You asked me, and I told you."

Black Pebble asked. We told him.

Certainly we understand the situation as you have presented it, and certainly we will accede to your wishes. I am of the opinion, however, that word eventually gets back. If the question is being broached about how to get more people excited enough to play CoH, and an answer is given virtually by acclaimation, it is foolish to ignore it.

So my piece is said. You have asked for the topic to be dropped, so to quote another film, "As you wish."

Mr. Pebble, there were more I missed, but I am sure you get the drift.

Samuraiko (Dark_Respite) has, for the sheer joy of doing it, produced videos that highlight cool things about CoH/CoV. Her sense of framing of shot, timing the cuts, composition and choice of music are superb. You WANT to fight the Rikti, have wings and fly or join the Midnighters after you see her videos!

Just pick one: the promo for Invasion or the promo for Midnight Hour. Just by words on a screen, musical cues and fine choice of video shots, your game looks like the coolest, most dramatic thing evar.

We are serious about this.

Hire Samuraiko!

Just in case it still doesn't register:

HIRE SAMURAIKO!

Thank you.

Element Earth was a fun ride. It got really fun when we were using Stone Cages and Gale x8 to take out Skulls and Hellions en masse in Perez Park. Yes, we GALED mobs to defeat! Clouds of little numbers above their heads until they fell over!

The other thing that was simply funny to watch was 8 Rockies (whom we dubbed "The Goon Squad") mob some boss, EB or AV. We once took along a fire controller, and the poor imps could not reach any target that the 7 Animated Stones were surrounding. The imps were jumping around like Jack Russel terriers, trying to get to the action, but there was simply no room. It was quite funny to watch.

Bureki, my Earth/Storm, was probably my fastest run to 50 and is still my only hero on Justice. Perhaps there will be an EE revival.

You are a good poster, MCM. Keep doing what you do, and do not let the idiots get you down!

I remember that period of time! The ambushes were simply pathetic as a result. The lowbie ambushers gave it their all, furiously and ineffectively attacking.

But I have to commend you for letting them follow you around! I never thought of doing that. If you were on a team, the ambush could be huge... The thought of that many attackers "yapping" is indeed a funny image!

Hear, hear.

Three issues was not long enough for him to work with them.

Would this still work now that Lightning Storm is "working as intended," ie, firing at half the rate it once did?

Even outside of a Perfect World, surely there could be some better marketing.

Reviving the comic: This I like a lot. Putting Troy Hickman and David Nakayama on it is my slant to it. Pay them handsomely. I like using player character "guest stars" as well. Hickman is already skilled at anthology-style comics; this could set new parameters for comics. And it could be done ONLINE if expenses for print were too high, although if our resources are unlimited, it might not matter.

Those sound like fun additions as well.

I would for SURE like better search functions for teaming. Have the option to have teams LOOKING FOR MORE. Be able to exclude players ALREADY ON A TEAM in your search and NOT have a TRUNCATED LIST. Have a reminder pop up when you log on as to your PREFERRED SETTING, ie, do not want to team, always looking, etc. A better field for comments, such as listing desirable TFs, AVs and the like.

To say that better search options for AE would be needed simply does not do it justice. As it stands, finding good stuff among the farms, nonsense and lousy quality stuff is nigh well impossible without word of mouth.

It would also be cool if NPCs could interact with your character along the lines of whatever amount of background information you would want to supply. If your character had a bone to pick with a certain villain faction, or routinely worked with another player hero, or hailed from a particular place. Sure, in the Perfect Unlimited Resources Scenario we wind up with the Holodeck, but if the Rikti War Zone used to be the residence of your hero's family, it would be cool if that could be worked in via mission assignment or flavor text at the minimum.

I suppose that more content, costumes, powersets and AE tools being desirable are a given.

Short of CoH becoming the Holodeck, I would like to see the above happen. The Hickman/Nakayama CoH comic would be Simply Epic as well.
