Nadya

That is one impressive base.

New artwork is up. Yes it's hawt. No I can't link it.

Thanks CR.

Neko! I cannot wait to show you the new piece coming soon. Can't post it here. Nor the comic in the works.

A renewed interest in CoH made me reVIP. To reward my good deed I rewarded myself with this.



Enjoy the eye candy.

Aaaaand that's a wrap. Thanks to The Cape Radio, Posthaste, DJ Eve, Detra, and Heroine X. Screenies to come. See you all next year!

Aaaaand there we go. Spots filling fast. Bash some alien face, win some costume contests, answer some Halloween trivia, walk away with prizes. Over 2bill inf to be given away tonight. Don't miss out. RWZ2. Tune into thecape.serverroom.us:6592 and come join us for some fun!

10 minutes until the raid and jams start. Looks like it's a last minute change to RWZ2 instead of RWZ3 due to zone population being low.

Just an update. Everything is still on as scheduled. I am still planning to have it in RWZ3 to avoid Trials crowds.

Global channels are your friend.

No, not Christmas! Halloween. Which means it's time for the 4th Annual Nadya's Halloween Bash! Last time we decided to extract ourselves out of Pocket D and took to the Rikti War Zone to do a fun night of music and Mother Ship raids.

So join us Saturday, Oct 22nd between 8pm and Midnight est. Music will be presented by Posthaste and the Cape Radio. Costume contests, Halloween trivia, and most pylons killed per raid will merit you prizes. Don't worry, with prize money in the billions, it will definitely be worth your time.

Now seeing RWZ is the place to be for Trials now a days, we'll be hosting the event in RWZ3 to avoid disturbing/disturbance from Trials runners. And a friendly reminder to all our new free and premium players this zone is fully available to you. So if you are looking a community event to meet other players, this is for you.

I hope to see everyone there.

(So, maintenance on the servers. Figure I'd pass the time and write something up to hopefully spark a bit of RP in game. It's by no means perfect or of epic caliber. But it was fun to write. Hope it's fun to read as well!)

As the logo for Paragon News at 5 fades and the camera pans in on anchorwoman Trisha Kent, the woman gives a few taps of her stack of papers on her desk and focuses in on the camera. An almost unnoticeable clearing of her throat was given before she read from the teleprompter. “Good evening and welcome to Paragon News at 5. I’m Trisha Kent and this is what’s happening.” She paused and turned to face a different camera as the angle was changed. “Tonight’s top story comes from Atlas Park City Hall where officials found an unmarked vanilla envelope with a VHS tape inside of it. Officials said that the tape was made by no other than criminal mastermind Naughty Nadya. We now go live to Steven Grimes outside of City Hall. Steven?”

The camera cuts to a live feed of the reporter standing outside the building in a sea of other reporters and police officers. “Good evening Trisha. Chilling reports are coming from the police department about the video, which was apparently addressed to our beloved Ms. Liberty personally. In just a few moments, the Police Chief will issue a statement about the video. In the mean time, Paragon News has received a copy of the video. Have a look.”

The screen fades to black before the tape starts. When it does, there is an empty white room. The only distinguishing features about it was an industrial cement floor and a poster of the popular Ms. Liberty hanging on the back wall. There was a large red ‘X’ sprayed on with red spray paint through the poster. Nothing seemed to happen for a few moments. Then Nadya appeared on screen. Standing in the middle of the room, wearing her classic black costume decorated with white skull and ribcage bone patterns, the villain folded her arms across her chest and took a very defiant pose for the camera.


“I hope I am not interrupting. I'm sure you and Grandpa are busy licking your wounds after that whole Galaxy City fiasco. It must have been devastating to watch as your city burned, helpless to stop the onslaught of meteors and Shivans as they ripped through the streets and buildings, killing thousands in the process. I'm almost saddened that it wasn't me responsible for such havoc and suffering. But there will be time for that in the upcoming months.

To think I tried to turn the other cheek just to be closer to you. Surrounded myself with those pompous Capes. Their stench still lingers in the air when I think about it, making me choke on my own vomit as I suppress the urge to hurl at what I did for a school girl crush. It is your fault I'm trapped here, hunted like an animal by Vindicators, Freedom Phalanx, Arachnos, and many up and coming Capes trying to make a name for themselves. I'm here to tell you that I am fed up with it.

If it wasn't for you and your measly existence, I would still be in Praetoria, still at Praetor Duncan's side, wielding power I could only dream of. It's funny. I still remember when they called her Dominatrix. I was there when 'Emperor Cole' received news about this peon of a planet 'Earth Prime.' I was there when Praetor Duncan saw you for the first time. I remember the sadistic grin on her face when she gave the order for your capture. I have to admit, I was excited myself.

Even after the events that conspired, even after your safe return home, your told your lackeys to hunt me. You should have stopped me when you had the chance. That head start you gave me in return for bringing you back will prove to be your biggest mistake. Even as you listen to this, plans are in place that will give me the power I rightfully deserve, power you stole from me, power I will harness to ultimately destroy you and everyone you ever cared about. And there is nothing you can do to stop me.

After I am through with Praetor Duncan, Emperor Cole, and all of their piss poor excuses for henchmen, I am coming for you. I am coming for you with the power of Gods. No man, woman, or child will stand in my way. So help me if they do. The death toll will be catastrophic . It will dwarf the events in Galaxy City. Each soul will weigh heavily on your conscious because I will declare my war with you as the enemy. My turmoil started with you. It will end with you dead at my feet.

You gave me this awful name to the papers. I would have gladly taken Nefarious, Notorious, hell even Nasty. But you gave it such little thought and went with Naughty. God how I hate that name. Well, it's time to show you just how naughty Nadya can be. I hope you're ready. I'd hate for you to go down without a fight. See you soon Ms. Liberty.”

The camera cuts back to Trisha in the studio. “Chilling indeed Steven. We’ll return right after these messages from our sponsors with a statement from the police chief in regards to the threats made against Ms. Liberty in this horrific video. Stay tuned to Paragon News as this story develops."

Hi folks'
I was so excited to see my global friends list lit up like a Christmas tree when I resubscribed for the VIP head start. I know I met alot of you in Atlas and the D then up and vanished.

So, I'm going to be here awhile, RP'ing, doing the Trial thang, etc. I'd love to find old friends who have either made a new main, changed their global handle, removed me from their's due to inactivity, or make new alliances and friends. I hope to see you all in game.

It's heart warming to see so many old friends. Glad Virtue is still staying classy.

So now that CoH is updated, when I click to run it I get 'Detected video card or driver is currently unsupported ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series.' I updated it and still get the same error messages.

So I have an HDMI cable hooked up to a large monitor. I am currently getting the floating box "No Signal" dancing around my screen. Also, I know my card will run CoH. It's a great card, here is all my info from the CoH Helper. Also could someone point me in the direction to reinstall my sound card?

Safe mode pulls the game from a 1920x1080 screen to a window size. It also turns everything outside the game window into some 80's inverted color scheme.

So just returned to CoH. Updated divers and the game, when I go to log in, blackness. Everywhere. I can still interact blindly, but yeah. It's annoying. Any help is appriciated.

Yay! Detra! Happy! Birthday!

Always a shame to lose someone who risked their life to protect what we take for granted everyday. I may not know him personally, but thank his family for supporting him while he protected us all. Rest in peace.

For four years running, The Cape and I have put on some sort of Halloween event. The first two years, we held such an event in Pocket D. It was too small a venue. So last year, we tried something different, a night full of heavy metal, rock, and Halloween themed music. It was a grand time had by all.

Now for the information:
Name: The Cape Presents* Nadya's 4th Annual Halloween Bash

Date: Saturday, Oct 30th.

Time: 8pm est to Midnight est.

Location: RWZ1.

Musical styles: Metal/Rock/Halloween

Contests/Competitions: TBA

Contact information: @Nadya

*The Cape has yet to confirm/deny attendance for said event. But Posthaste has never let me down.

I hope to see everyone in RWZ1 for what promises to be a night of fantastic raiding, Vanguard merits, badges, hardcore music, and an overall good time!

Think this will effect us at CoH?
