I want to thank Arcanaville, Black Pebble and everyone else involved in organizing this event. It was quite a blast! In fact, had we not experienced a total map server before the event was underway, followed by all that immense lag... it just wouldn't have been the same experience I have become accustomed to over the years, and I mean that as the highest of compliments! City of Heroes will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart for what its limited engine was capable of accomplishing.
So thank you! Thank you for sending us out in style! -
Well it was bound to come to this sooner or later. I am quite sad that it is happening MUCH sooner than I expected.
I was first introduced to City of Heroes through my older brother who bought it back in late December of 04'. I instantly fell in love with the game and basically hijacked my brothers account for several weeks. I was lucky enough to get my own copy of the game and created my account shortly after the new year of 05'. I am not ashamed to admit I spent my 20's playing City of Heroes.
My first official character on my own account was a Wolverine clone, named Raging Wolf. A Claws/Regen Scrapper who I played up until Regeneration saw it's first major nerf. After that I created two characters back to back. The first was my second and favorite Scrapper, Patriot America, the second was an homage to my favorite DC hero, Dr. Fate. Interestingly enough, Mystic Fortune was the first character I logged into after they introduced the global chat systems so that became my global. It has remained Mystic Fortune ever since.
I joined up with a great group of players who called themselves THE UNITED POWERS OF PARAGON later that year. I didn't know it at the time, but those great individuals would grow to be like a second family to me. I have been a member of the UPP ever since that faithful day.
Over the years I saw my SG mates leave CoH, some of them returned every several months, some others left permanently for other games or different ventures in life.. but we have kept in contact.
Nearly 8 years have passed since I joined City of Heroes. It has been an extraordinary experience, and I wish it didn't have to end... but as they say all things must come to an end. It feels me with great sadness to bring this post to a close. This game meant the world to me and I feel like a part of me will die on November 30th.
So I say, to our development team, and to all those I have interacted with in-game and on these forums. "Thank you, I am a better person today for having been a part of something great for the these last 7 some odd years."
"Until we meet again, may your travels in this world be safe..." -
Gotta love that hidden message...

Well, since this is the end, I guess I will finally ask. What's up with the [Mystic Fortune] power? I mean, as far as I know I had nothing to do with that name decision.
Was it by any slim chance a *nod* to me, because that would be awesome? -
Let's hope we can get our hands on a standalone character creator.
-
I signed up for a year of WoW to get Diablo 3 for free, so I have those games I can fall back on... but NOTHING will -ever- compare to the ultimate customization that was City of Heroes.
I am seriously hoping that they release the code for open source so someone out there more tech savvy than I can reverse engineer the costume creator into an offline version (complete with all the costumes in the PIGG files). Something like this used to exist several years ago after the failed launch of City of Hero (Korean Launch).
My SG has been actively trying to sell me on both Secret World and the Arma: DayZ mod, unfortunately I have little interest in both. -

And they named a power after you too. Bastards. -

I loved playing on Freedom. It had some of the best, friendliest and capable players I've ever met....
I'm really trying not to troll, but this statement just hurts my head. :P -
I feel like someone just ripped my heart out of my chest and stepped on it a dozen times...

I currently own (on DVD) 10 of the movies on that list.
To each their own I suppose.

COMBINED
Bio Armor- Evolving Armor: This power no longer debuffs the damage resistance of nearby foes if the player has Defensive Adaptation active.
- Brute/Defensive Adaptation: Very Slightly reduced the max hit point, absorb, defense and resistance bonuses granted from Defensive Adaptation of what they were previously.
- Brute/Efficient Adaptation: Very slightly reduced the regeneration bonuses granted from Efficient Adaptation, but increased the recovery bonuses slightly.
That said, seeing these -fixes- on test rather than beta makes me happy. Looks like we're getting Bio Armor before i24!

I was just talking to an SG mate about the Count last night... I has a sad now...
-
From testing on beta and now on live, I've found that slotting Lifegiving Spores with a Performance Shifter +Endurance it procs on everyone who stands in it. On top of that, since it's your toggle, while active, it procs on you personally. This is separate from the patch. Double the proc'ing goodness!
As a Beast/Nature I will be skipping Rebirth and Entangling Aura, but I absolutely love my Lifegiving Spores!
-
Yeah, that's pretty boss, my friend.
However, no Wolverine?

Quote:Please make sure that these improved set bonuses are an uncommon value so we don't end up breaking the "rule of 5".Originally Posted by Synapse
Actually, I think I can talk about this. What were previously +Immob, Hold, Sleep, Stun, etc. Resist have been changed to be +Res Fire/Cold, Lethal/Smash, Energy/Negative energy and resistance to all common statuses. So basically you get a small amount of +damage resist to 2 types and +status resistance.
Also, all old damage resistance set bonuses have been improved to work this way too.

While the 'judgement' scenes with Crane were fun, I would have really liked to have seen those same scenes with Heath Ledgers Joker, clearly I understand why that wasn't possible, it's just more of a 'what if..?' scenario, which brings up something that's bugging me. Why was 'the clown' completely written out of the Nolans universe as of TDKR? I don't recall a single mention of him.

Too much death happening lately.
Damn our mortality...
My thoughts go out to his family in this troubling time. -

So, having wasted two hours so far trying to get a code (and becoming increasingly bitter about the game, rather than playing and enjoying it), I get and apply a code, it asks me if I want to upgrade my account, and then tells me it has already been used. Did I miss something? Not only do we have to enter a code before anyone else, but we have to Continue AND Upgrade Account before anyone else does?
Yeah, I'm done with this. I want my Kirby Dots, but honestly... it is so NOT worth the frustration. -
Codes are up and gone before the twitter feed even refreshes...

Please consider allowing us to use the Hockey mask in both the Hat and Hood categories.In other words, add them to detail 3 (where the Carnival of Light Masks are), but allow them to be used in as many categories as possible.Quote:Originally Posted by ThePill
This, this and this and this again for good measure.

Quote:This isn't actually a new thing. They did it with the X-men movies when they were all the rage. Shortly after the second X-men movie the X-men in the comics started to dress in the same 'plain' black suits. Pretty much throwing away any personality their Giant-Size costumes gave them.Originally Posted by Anti_Proton
Slowly, but surely, Marvel is starting to let the "tail wag the dog". The movie is infecting the other universes where stories and characters are being adapted more to the movies than vise-versa. If the movies start to tank, there will be a lot of collateral damage.

If I could run the Casino Heist over and over again without needing to run the Time Gladiator event as well I would love it even more. To me, the Time Gladiator event is what makes it tedious. However the Casino Heist is unique enough to not become boring, especially if you get 'into' character like Valor suggested.
Overall I've gotten 6 procs throughout the 2 dozen times or so that I qualified for the IO.
