...Everything else I can forgive. CoH is an easy game to like. -

I always preferred this game to CO just in terms of gameplay: it was a personal preference thing. But it was never them vs us for me, and I did participate strongly in the CO beta and I did buy a lifetime sub for CO which I still have. I haven't spent much time there recently, but I will probably do so if and when the end comes here, just to give it another chance. CoH is so different and so much better than it was just a few years ago: CO deserves the same chance from me.
I may keep a lower profile there than I did here. The idea of just playing a game rather than being one of its resources has a certain appeal, and I know nothing about the "quant" community over there. And to be honest, being a quant for a game is not as interesting when you can't share your thinking with the developers, and I don't have a relationship with the powers people there like I do here. Maybe one day.
But its still nice to know that there are people there that see it as I do: we were never enemies in this, as much as people on both sides tried to frame it as such. I think City of Heroes did many things right, but so did CO. They both also did many things wrong. The people who love City of Heroes warts and all deserved to have a game like City of Heroes, just as the players that love what Champions Online did warts and all deserve to have a game like Champions Online. There was always room for both, because there was always room for different people to have and enjoy different things.
I don't know if I'm going to become a permanent fixture at CO. But I have every intention of giving it the same chance I gave City of Heroes before I decide.
Just sayin'. -
Maybe you should plank across the meeting table, Zwill.

And you never know! You may be able to get her to start playing. Char Gen alone is enough to hook many people.
And yes, maybe next XPX2 Weekend you two can ding together.
Best Wishes for the future! -
Quote:Any chance they could do something like this for Rise to the Challenge from Willpower? Currently on Live, the toggle drops completely if you're held, and it kills the +regen effect that may be keeping your character alive. Suppressing the Taunt and -ToHit effect while locked down might be a better way to do it.
Synapse wants to fix Energy Aura's mez protection/taunt aura combo, since it currently drops. He wants to make the taunt effect merely suppress and keep the toggle running. That's something that is on his agenda for today. -

Please watch your wording. The LAST thing we need are more "pairing names" floating to the surface.
BackAlleycore?
Mantibrawler? -

There are over 70+ costumes involved in this revamp. -

Personally I hope there's just a little nod to it in NPC dialogue. Something like a newspaper guy shouting, "Tsoo missing from Steel Canyon! Circle of Thorns have new threads! Coincidence?"

Love it.
But will we still have female Oranbegans? -
ED opened the path to the Invention System, IOs, and eventually the Incarnate System. It brought some semblance of balance where previously there was none. It wasn't a change we wanted, but it was a change we needed. I don't know if the Cities would have survived this long without it.
That said, while the idea of having a sneak peek into the Art Team's process appeals to me, I can understand not doing so for the sake of actually getting things done.
And I'm not sure I'd go with 'atrocity' for this. Maybe 'kick in the junk'. Because some of the reactions I imagined on some of the posters in the 'CoW' thread were ****ing hilarious. -

I hate getting harassed in game, and so I wish they would create a female only server. They have female only gyms for a reason. An online video game is not a dating site.
If we can have VIP servers please make one female only.
Thanks.
Seriously though? If you're getting harrassed in-game, you need to:
1) Ask the person to stop,
and if that doesn't work,
2) Report the person,
and then
3) Ignore the person.
If you're trying instead to make a ha-ha over something I've seen friends leave the game over, then congratulations. I'm sure your parents would be proud of you if they cared. -

I want one of these.

Quote:Honestly, while I like the idea of the rocket/hoverboard thing and can appreciate the work that went into making the model and getting the functionality of the power down, I would have liked to have seen something a bit more flexible as far as a theme. A flying energy disk or elipse could have a tech, magic, or meta origin. If we could customize the tint of it, even better.Originally Posted by Noble Savage
Would all of you really want an iceslide before, say, other flying platforms, some kind of mount, etc.? Let us know what you're dying to see in game!
Eventually though, what I'd like to see are 'vehicle' toggle powers that essentially transform your character model and give you a new set of powers/attacks that you can use in that form. This could function in a similar fashion to the Kheldan Nova form, but with unslottable attacks, and perhaps on a longer recharge. Possibilites could include an armored motorcycle (perhaps something like a cross between a Light Cycle and the Batpod), or small aircraft like the Sky Raider Skiffs or the Longbow Chasers. -
That's fitting, using the early concept design for Ms. Liberty as the design for her grandmother! But is the big guy with the dreadlocks an early version of BAB?

I think the woman to the right in blue and orange is possibly an early concept for Ms. Liberty.

Quadra Blades is pretty awesome, but it's too bad you're locked in to one single costume.

I'm going to have to start summoning Statesman at parties for the fun of it.

Quote:I could get behind this. Call it the Legacy Respec or something.Originally Posted by Chase_Arcanum
I'd support primary/secondary respecs IF:
- It started you back down at level one, but gave you a "bonus patrol xp" power (akin to the vet reward) with enough charges to roughly last up to the level you were when taking that power.
That way, it could be used for people that want to keep their badges while requiring the person to learn the new aspects of the power at an accelerated leveling rate.
And charge seperately for the name change and costume tokens.

Honestly? IMO, they should have gone with something other that 'Freedom' to name this new Era. 'Paragon' would have been better. Maybe 'City of Heroes: Power Play' or something.
Eh. I need coffee.
