Defiance is a nice idea, but it's too little too late. By the time I'm down in HP enough to use it, I can be easily one-shotted. Maybe it should start at around 50% HP? That lil damage boost a blaster gets from it around 50% might make the difference between living and dying.... because they might be able to take the next hit and live while they are attacking, esp. so for those locked into long animation times.

That's wonderful...except I didn't do this one. My husband, Mr. Abyss did. You can be his unabashed fan.

Here's my entry. This is Alexis Cain, otherwise known as Bluecoat Babe. An accident with a mysterious energy caused her to grow to 8' in height with increased muscle mass and density, but she hasn't given up her dreams of becoming a model and an actress! This is the perfect opportunity to start. (She originally wanted the name "Blue Steel" but the name was taken by some old guy)

She is modeling her regular outfit, which was designed by her Supergroup member Limelight.

She is from the Virtue Server.

EDIT: Moved some of the pics to Image Dump, will be moving the others shortly (the file size of them was too big for image dump...). Got 'em all moved. Whew.

No. Unfortunately, there is no mirror of any videos except for the Thank You one. And if there ARE mirrors of them, it's news to me...

Nice! loved it! bookmarked

Dude!!! Are you the one who animated Rejected??????

If so, I am a huge fan!

If not, then, uh, whoops...

BTW, since I'm posting, the Mr. and I appreciate all the compliments... (but please remember that "Mr. Abyss" did it, NOT me) I'm just not posting in this thread anymore to prevent bumpage. Yes, I know, not exactly a great way to promote videos, but my site cries out under the ton of hits it gets now...

Glad you could get it downloaded.

The link isn't working for me. I wanna see it!

[/ QUOTE ]

Which link? The original on page one? No, bandwidth is gone. The mirror on page 15? It takes a while to download if you aren't a premium member of that service.

[ QUOTE ]
Man, I tried to get to the video at eight o'clock in the morning and the bandwidth limit was still exceeded.

Is there someone with a little extra hosting space who could mirror it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Page 15, there's a mirror site listed.

[ QUOTE ]
If it's under 30Mb, RapidShare is a good place to host clips.

[/ QUOTE ]

It does, indeed, seem to be a good place. And anonymous--no registration required.

I uploaded the video there, and here's the link:

http://rapidshare.de/files/1965560/Thankyou.wmv.html

So, now, we'll see if this works.

EDIT: Looks like there will be a wait to download unless a person subscribes to their premium service, so this should work for the moment.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm afraid I don't know how to set one up, but if you could set up a BitTorrent .torrent, that would help cut down on bandwidth.

That would help with the bandwidth problem..only generally it's not been a problem until these last two months. Somehow, our vids got popular. Like, really REALLY popular. And so instead of just the video geeks (and maybe a few others) that download the vids, everyone who comes to check it out is downloading it.... and then downloading all the OTHER videos as well!

So... yeah. Been a busy month here. Looking into free hosting sites, but none are really that impressive nor will they solve the problem for more than an hour or two right now at the current rate of downloading. If anyone can suggest a site in particular, I'd appreciate it.

Anyway... glad everyone is enjoying them, at least. Well, those who get to see them.

We got /deved.

You guys ate through about 70 gig of space since poz posted. Last night. Within 12 hours.

So, we'll be seeing today about mirroring it somewhere else. Check back for details later on.

ummm when i downloaded it and tried to run it it wouldnt open and instead i got the windows sound for when a message box pops up . nothing i try to view in windows media player works now...im really lost.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unfortunately, I can't help you with that. I know all the videos on there are good, virus free*, and should work with the appropriate programs. So.... for whatever reason, if that vid isn't playing on your computer though it was downloaded successfully... I can't help you.

*BUT...you should ALWAYS check any file you download with a virus scanner before you open it, just in case.

The "We'll Always Have Paragon" video? That's at http://maximilia.net under the Videos section.

Well, I spoke with my hosting provider and it turns out they have a deal with double the storage space and double the bandwidth for the same price. There will be a 4 or 5 hour downtime (which, it's not like anyone can view it right now *any*way) but then it should be transferred to a new server and upgraded...so then you guys can eat through the next 50 gig bandwidth. :P

So, probably around midnight Pacific time is when it'll be up again.

Well, you guys have loved the video so much it went into extinction.

What I mean to say is that my bandwidth (50 gig) has been exceeded for this month. By the 12th. *boggle*

Going to call my provider and see if I can get transferred to a different, better, plan but even if I do it won't be up for the rest of the night, at the very least. If NOT, then y'all will have to wait for June to see any more vids.

Having probs accessing your site.

How very interesting. So am I. The bandwidth is not exceeded, so that's not the problem... I can only assume my domain host is having problems at this point. I sent them a message via their support about it and I suppose we'll wait and see.

EDIT: Good gawd, that was fast. It's up now in the span I took to write this out.

Bo Bindel is my favoritest troll evah!

This video was done by Mr. Abyss, not I, but we've both done some videos. They are hosted at: http://maximilia.net Just go there and click on the 'Videos' button.

The ones I've done (and some quite poorly, but I was just learning at the time) are: If They Want Blood (They Got It), Learning to Fly (one of my faves), Kick Your [censored], Answer the Call, We're Not Gonna Take It, and Monolith.

Mr. Abyss has done: We'll Always Have Paragon, The Distance, and the Preview of Phantom Soldier: The Movie, as well as this one.

We collaborated on the Hellions video, but admittedly, he did the vast majority of the editing (like, all of it) while I spliced the music and did the credits. We're working on a couple others in the villains series now, but how fast they go out all depends on how motivated we are.

Thanks for watching, btw.. I really love this one too!

This is a video made by Mr. Abyss for the one year anniversary of CoH. Enjoy.

Thank You

The biggest gripe I have about the arena is the "triple damage while held" thing. Especially with sings. The sings just spam holds and that effectively chain mezzes you: even with the immunity. The triple damage makes it worse in that they can kill you in 5 seconds flat....and regen scrappers are still overpowered. Other than that, I don't have any complaints as I know they are bugs that will be fixed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Problem is, I believe the 15 sec window grants immunity from being spammed the same hold or stun from a specific source.
Meaning, if the same hold is coming from different sources (sings, frosts, etc) you may get chain held.

As for the triple damage, I have yet to see my damage output increase. I don't believe it is actice.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, no. It's active. When I play my mind controller, once I get a hold on someone they are done. Experiment with a friend if you can. The first hold does your base damage, then hold them again, and see two numbers float above their head, the extra number is your extra damage.

If players are on a mission map, they always receive their full shares. There’s no distance limitation. Teams can split up in maps – players can be separated by elevators – everyone receives their XP.


[/ QUOTE ]

Does that include outdoor mission maps, Mr. Statesman sir?

[ QUOTE ]
Best solution has already been proposed, but here it is again:

Propel: single target: foe knockback, high (superior? moderate?) damage, AoE disorient

Wormhole: leave as is in i3

So only the single target gets knocked and damaged. Target and the guys near him get disoriented. As long as with a bit of slotting we can perma-disorient an even-con, I'd be one heck of a happy grav. We're not looking at a long-term perma-disorient from propel, the end. cost sees to that nicely.

This gives the grav. controllers their needed AoE in the level range they need it, closes the evil control gap, doesn't take away from the grav controllers already using propel as a damage source (either leave as is in i3 or a slight boost) and doesn't interfere with the few gravs who use dim. shift and wormhole as they are.

If anyone would be unhappy with that proposal, please say so.

(actually I would be a bit miffed because I've used all my respec's and don't have propel, but c'est la vie)

Quick follow-up post.

Yes - we had issues with the message board name pull we did yesterday and some people did not get their reserved names. However, we just fixed it so your name should be what your forum name was at 11 am yesterday.

That is why GC went down and handles and channels were lost - we reverted it and applied the correct reserved name list. This is not something that can happen with a random crash.

Yes, its still beta. When you have a system that crosses all servers, the best way to beta test it is across all servers. That is why it is still beta and still something you have to turn on with the /chatbeta switch. If you don't want to play with the beta version, you do not have to. When it is out of beta it will be on all the time.

Also, I just verified that the test server IS included in global chat (by joining the Kill Skuls channel from Test)- so if you are on Test you can chat with your friends on live. Woot!

Keep reporting bugs! Thanks!

[/ QUOTE ]

Woo hoo! That's right, I talked to CuppaJo on the Kill Skuls channel and threatened to throw articles of clothing!

....

Ok, maybe that isn't something to be *proud* of, but it was nice to see a "red name" in game.

JUST got my first accolade today with Max Fury... must say that was a trip to see my little Crey freeze pistol. I had to pose with it and take all sorts of pictures...

Yeah..I have no life.

The rocks, well, rock...but wish there was more temporary one shot powers, like rotten eggs (to disorient a foe) or toilet paper (to hold a foe, or maybe confuse him).... Maybe jack o lanterns to hurl like the strengs do. but the rocks were very cool.
