In order to combat PLing and farming further, how about a mandatory arc?

Of course there are already tailor/cape/aura missions, but these are not mandatory. But I was thinking more along the lines of an arc or mission that must be completed in order to attain a certain level. This would ensure that players have to experience some of the game outside of MA.

This is a bit of an unusual year for us over here with the whole Studio and now the whole Community team based in California. This doesn't mean that there will never be any event in Europea though

Thanks for that Avatea, good to hear

If anyone's interested a number of us are having a social meet (read that as drinking ) in London on August 8th (venue and time TBC), this is mostly for players of my SG, but I' sure anyone would be welcome to join in, we have players coming from all over and from as far away as Denmark.

Hi Kithara

GGRRR is recruiting!

We are one of the biggest SG's defiant, lots of mature players who like a laugh, some (like me) a fair bit older than you
GGRRR is a very active and very friendly SG with a very large fully equiped base. We run very regular sg teams and TF's and have a whole host of other regular events and competitions. We have our own website with forums, a seperate GGRRR wiki site, ongoing online comic, facebook group and Rosie our coalitionradio DJ.

We are very laid back and the SG has one main aim - to have fun!

A warped sense of humour is useful, but not essential

Check out the links in my sig or contact me in-game (@night hornet) for more details.

I know there is an events section at the bottom of the forum and I realise that paragon studios are based solely in the US and there is no physical EU representation.

But on the basis that the US boards are currently littered with events like the Comic-Con, where players can meet the devs and get goodies like costume codes etc.

How about some love for us, I'm sure there would be willing volunteers to help out.

What abbreviations were settled on for the new TF/SF?

RTF/RSF or 5TF/5SF or what?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm betting that RTF/RSF get used, although I prefer 5TF/5SF!

But for now they will be newTF/newSF

Very unlikely but I have some random thoughts.


Summer Event.


Game stays constantly in day mode.



Ski slopes are turned into water slides and players must surf down instead of sking.



Stop the ritual mission - the COT are using the summer solstice to summon a powerful demon, they must be stopped.

Rewards

Badge - Sunkissed
Costume parts - summer themed e.g. Hawaiian shirts




Fire alert - due to the heatwave, fire alerts are on the increase.

Rewards (special for the summer event only)

Extra badges
Temp powers
water pistol (works like snowball)
summon fire imps (1 use)

Welcome Back!

Now I'm Angry!

If you are defeated, your true heroic nature will not let you fail. Upon resurrection you are filled with rage, this sends out a powerful energy shockwave effecting all nearby foes knocking them back with a chance to disorient. You will revive your full Hit Points and Endurance.

Self Rez
Damage - Extreme (Lethal)

3 uses, 2 hour recharge

Or

Mimicry

Upon activation this power will randomly draw a power from your target, allowing you to mimic that power.

8 uses (after power is attained), recharge slow

Oh wait, were you joking Mother? It's too early in the morning for me to tell :P

As this is being called a "Migration", it implies a some sort of data migration, so I'd expect the threads to be moved over. User names and post counts, not sure to be honest.

On the bright side, we will see more rednames and the US boards badly need more DOOOM! :P

I've played with that in the past and generally things were fine most of the time, you may tend to get a little more lag on occasion and I did suffer some sync issues (although it might have been the game build at the time. Should perform ok in most instances though.Which provider is it?

Also based on some downloads running in the background while playing it seems for me that COH only uses between 5-10K per second of bandwidth (only a personal estimate), however I ask about the provider because latency can have a real impact on performance.

Great urban feel to that piece!

Welcome Makazi, you can contact me if you need any help my global is - @night hornet

and have fun

The truth is we don't know yet, IMO I feel its unlikely that players will be able to change sides in the normal zones. GR will feature a new city by all accounts and I suspect that players will chose a side from there and return to the existing zones...but who knows?

Or you could spend some time actually teaming with them, and showing them different aspects of the game

The reality is, if new players dont play the content and just PL in MA, most will quickly lose interest and leave and therefore it is counter-productive for the future of the game. Slow progession when levelling is a key mechanic for most MMO's in keeping its player-base.

Random thought here.

I remember the first day I played cox, it was in December and within the first hour of play Winter Lord spawned near Atlas Plaza, a large number of heroes all appeared to take care of it, I must admit that impressed me a lot at the time. Also on the 5th anniversary day we had a blast.

So why not create a new Giant Monster to occasionally spawn near atlas plaza, it might well give new players that wow factor while also giving experienced players (who tend to hang around there) something to do.

Well for me new zones are important.I want totally new designs, perhaps some very different kinds of spawns and events from those we have now. Conditions our heroes and villains are not used to dealing with, eg underwater. The zones should also have well thought out story arcs and lore and as it is GR I want arcs where morale choices effect my toons journey.

damz, you've never read the comics of the hero golden age?

sample1 sample2

[/ QUOTE ]

If I were picky I could say that sample 1 is a picture of a silver age imagining of golden age heroes and sample 2 is a modern imagining

Anyway I love golden age heroes and find that the creator easily allows me to make a great number of them.

Awesome Doc love the real painted feel of it and looking forward to seeing another piece! Must admit I have ArtRage but haven't really used it, feel the need to have another look at it now

Well its food for thought and gives me hope that the game is still moving in a good direction.


Avatea....what a tease :P

Ooooo I like!
