Myrdinn

[ QUOTE ]
One more item Luna. I think you can count on the follwoing people all being on ventrillo together for these TFs:
SuperD
Whitefox
Max Shields (maybe I think his mic is broken)
Alt_AKA_Joe
Me

If you can work out that we are on the same team then great but I completly understand if it dosen't work out. Last night it helped b/c fox was able to tell me quickly that he was getting mezzed. Things like that helped a bunch.

[/ QUOTE ]

Where's the vent server for that?

Please go ahead and put me in. I can be there with Myrdinn, one of two tankers, a scrapper, mc/emp healer, or a kheld. (prefer the first, but I can fit whatever's needed for this particular one)

I'm voting for the Dark Watcher.

Be nice if we could /blog /twitter or otherwise /screenie mid-game and store a screenshot/caption to a website while amidst the game.

My point was that they did everything wrong. Horribly wrong. At least if you consider right being what you engage on doing. Almost every goal they set to themselves was missed.

CoH was aiming to be a typical MMO with tanker/healor/damage/mez pattern.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hrm. Game was fun... who cares?
Game IS fun... so, I don't see any issues, honestly.

Me, I can do without the holy trinity/class system, but I found CoH's version to be palatable.
Honestly, I only left this game for one reason: they took out the 5th Column. At the time, my cousin (who was also a beta'r, although, he was an open betar) mentioned he'd like to get his Jedi in a different game. So, since my "glue" wasn't here, I went over to help him... but I never forgot how much fun I had in the beta or early release.

Whatever else you think of the early devs/game, it still hearkens and shows the roots in the game that is here now... and it is darn good fun both blue and red side.

Gotcha; thanks!

You could have a Solo build and a Team build

[/ QUOTE ]
oh yeah, I should have thought of that one at least.

Also- What is this skiing you speak of? I started playing this in 2004 but haven't been on for the last year. whuttahail are you guys talking about?

[/ QUOTE ]

Apparently, a part of the winter event. I'm all ears about this "skiing build," though.

I think we've forgotten how broken the powers system was at launch.....

[/ QUOTE ]

Not me.

The first character I ever made was an MA/SR scrapper.


>:E

[/ QUOTE ]

I still have one, level eight or so, that I haven't touched since then. 1835ish days since I last loaded her...

[ QUOTE ]
Sure all the powers worked. But you really couldn't say that this game launched with a powers system that was sensible.

[/ QUOTE ]

At the same time all of the testers worked darn hard on working out those combos. I remember when a fellow proved to the devs that a phase-shifted fire tank was unbalanced (fire aura was hitting, mobs couldn't hit him, he could just meander around and rake in xp). Simply put, by going through the powersets (once they were in), there were a *lot* of combos that had to be changed, challenged, and tested. I still look back and consider that to be an incredible accomplishment to get those powersets to a (relatively) unbugged state.

Miah eng/eng blaster is up for the hero side.

I'll be there (indeed, let me know of any/all that are going on, I'll be there somehow)!

I'll on slightly later than normal tomorrow, but should be ingame an hour or two before the event, easily.
(I've got an article I'm meeting with my co-author about, that will slightly postpone my activities)

I remember Aura... she used to zap all the folks who ripped off various comic book heroes back in the day. Used to be funny running through Galaxy City (when rebuilding a toon), spotting an over-the-top obvious copyright infringement... only to see the toon slowly fade away from the world without a quit counter. My cousin and I used to emote something along the lines of "Aura got ya!" And, then, ran very fast in the opposite direction (well, as fast as the run powers would let us).

Pretty much can count me in, I think. Childe on redside, dark/dark corrupter (I'll exemplar to someone).

Redside... my next toon down is Myrdinn Dark, a en/grav dom... but he's only a 21. Finally got him a cool outfit though; even though it looks a lot like my Kheld's toon's armor, and Myrdinn's armored toon.

[ QUOTE ][*]Any hero can defuse a bomb, quickly extract relevant data from a computer, and even sabotage a mystical portal. About how long does it take a new hero to complete the training that Paragon City apparently provides prior to granting them their hero license?

...now image what a hero should be able to do to get the title.

I'll be there on Childe (dark/dark corrupter)

There's an accolade that helps with psi defense, I believe.

/been reading in the wiki for the last month or so, interesting things out there

Details:

i16: stuff changes.

GR: toons may or may not change. Depending.

Question: Do Rikti have "families" in the same sense that humans do?
Answer: Although many Rikti customs are based on their human ancestry, few of them exactly mirror our own due to their radically different path. However the Rikti definitely have concepts of love, friendship, and family even if they aren’t exactly the same as ours.

[/ QUOTE ]

So... a converted Lost member might think of the ones who converted them as "parental units," uncles/aunts, elders, or somesuch? A "born" Rikti versus convert... suddenly I hear vampire rpers screaming in joy...

Hrm. Okay, telepaths. Do they all "broadcast" on the same "frequency?" IE, the Traditionalists, can they hear the other's sides thoughts? Or, can communities split according to who can hear whom?
If the latter, are the "families" based on who they can "hear" and officers picked because they can "talk" to several layers of communities?

Can't claim I'll be on, but if you see me (@Myrdinn) on, I can jump on a 12 tank or a 16 (I think) tank.
That would be either Angus Lockhart or Lord Angus.

I figure that team will have mature, solid players who are skilled enough to make up for my lack of skill

[/ QUOTE ]

Weren't you on my team last time? Whoever I play with has to make up for my lack of skill.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeppers :-)
Hey, I thought you were excellent, myself. +1, will always team with (actually, full stars; which is where I found my other note about you).

I'll be there this Monday with Myrdinn, my eng/eng blaster.

Edit: If possible, I'll volunteer for whichever group the fireman's on. I'm greedy that way; I figure that team will have mature, solid players who are skilled enough to make up for my lack of skill

[ QUOTE ]
If you ever want to play on another server I've got toons everywhere that need some company.

[/ QUOTE ]

I (and others, likely) appreciate that. I just feel... odd... on other servers. It's that whole remembering when everyone was on one server thing... one of the things I hate about sticking around post-beta in a lot of the MMOs I've seen.

That reminds me, I need to check on if "Prime Warden" ever opened up as a name...

[ QUOTE ]
I think I will, if I can find it in the store. :-S (I'm at work until 5 pm CST).

[/ QUOTE ]

FYI: You can buy the slots in-game. Login to COH, pick your server, and on the character list, click on the "Store" icon. You'll see your options there. Buy the server slot five-pack for $20, it'll get credited to the CC you have assigned to your CoX subscription.

Aye, but I'm at work

I'm now waiting for them to increase the max count per server to more than 36

[/ QUOTE ]

*facepalm* You kids. You don't appreciate what you have. Back in my day, you just had eight slots per server. And we were HAPPY!

/billycrystal

[/ QUOTE ]

Bullcrap and you KNOW it. Even THEN we wanted more slots. Especially when CoV was put out... we were rioting about not having slots for the new villains, when they talked about it early on.
I had my first "myrdinn dark" as a hero, just to save the slot as a villainous character, just in case States hints would come to fruition on day three. (dag burn lag because of preordering!)

[ QUOTE ]

I've tried other servers, and Freedom is home for me. Maybe if a group of people I play with here were on another server and played regularly there, I would give it a shot. But for now, it was just too lonely on the other servers for me not having a group of players I already knew.

I've been on "Super Teams" on other servers, but those ALWAYS fizzle out quickly.

So for now, I wait for the ability to buy even more slots on Freedom, and continue to level the toons I have. I'm keeping one slot open, just in case something new and fantastic comes along.

If, however, Going Rogue -or- Issue 16 does not increase the number per server, I'll probably break down and start a second account. I just don't want to have to start all over again with vet rewards

[/ QUOTE ]

Freedom's my home, too. I look into Virtue every now and again to test out powersets... but the other servers are just where I mess about with making "cool suits."

Vet rewards: gah. Yah. Glad I opened a second account a year or so back when I was thinking about thinking about returning! Mad (my own fault) about the main account... I'm missing about one and a half to two years of rewards due to... well, not payin'.

But, Freedom's Prime from when only Prime existed. Can't image "living" anywhere else.
