Quote:I've seen this in AE. I forget the mission, but Statesman did win an awful lot.Originally Posted by Noxilicious
Now I kinda wanna make an AE mission and just pit the two against each other. You know, once Desdemona becomes part of the AE.
On that note, has there been a Statesman vs Lord Recluse mission in the AE? I'd be curious about the outcome.
I saw one AE mission where Romulus defeated Statesman, albeit with help from Nosferatu. -

I thought they would at least make the Ghouls look different as opposed to zombies in shackles. This game just recycles everything - and it really sucks. Signature characters are diff versions of the same main ones (for the most part); constantly using the same maps, enemies and so on. The look of this game is getting to be very....bland.
I don't know what to tell you honestly, other than I hope you find what makes you happy one day. -

I can't play a Spines/Ice Armor scrapper, because they don't yet exist.

Has anyone discovered a perfect gameplay experience?
In fact, the only complaint that they'd have is that there isn't anything to complain about, thus keeping the statement true: "Someone will always find something to complain about".
But as of now? No. Even the highest rated games with the best gameplay mechanics still have their critics. -

OP, I know you said no toggles, but you should know that well-built Dark Armor tanks are said to be nigh-impossible to defeat. -
Quote:Hmm. I suppose I was rather vague when I described it.Originally Posted by Ravenswing
I have to wonder: what's the difference between a zone like this and, say, a hazard zone?
None really, now that I think about it. -
I guess I could add a few.
(Sorry if I repeat some already mentioned)
1. More longish-hair options for both genders
2. More weapon models (you can never have too many)
3. Elemental weapons (I hear they would have to be created separately, like the Nictus Broadsword......)
4. The Coming Storm
5. Seeing a future where the world wasn't destroyed
6. Some of the costume pieces from Champions Online.....
(I'll admit, I wish some of their patterns and pieces were available to us.)

I thought about this during class yesterday (yes I was daydreaming), but it hasn't been the first time that I've had a daydream like this.
I've always liked the Sewers and Abandoned Sewers as those kinda "open" dungeons, as in you and your team can go inside and KO mobs to your hearts' content, and you could run into another team doing the same.
But the sewers are restricted to low-levels only, (up to 40 if you count the abandoned sewer network) so I've wondered what other areas could be created to cater to high-level characters, without being an instanced interior. (Like a zone within a zone, but able to be entered by many characters)
An Arachnos Base
The interior of the Rikti Mothership
Oranbega
A Council or a 5th Column Base
Such an area would have to be a size that would rival the sewer network...perhaps that's why it hasn't been done, or perhaps no one else had thought about it yet. (Unlikely though)
Thoughts? -
Quote:LOL I remember seeing this in the TF channel last night.Originally Posted by BrandX
Tell me if I'm wrong on this.
Statesman TF.
1 Tank (Ice/Ice) not built to be the toughest admittedly.
1 Ill/Sonic
1 Fire/Rad
1 Fire/Kin
1 Energy Blaster
1 Fire Blaster
1 DP Blaster (me)
1 BS/WP Scrapper (was tougher than the tank)
...
Go through all the missions pretty much fine. Not to many problems. Fire/Kin complains about the Fire/Rad using their IMPS.
Speed Boost is asked for a couple of times (by two members when running low on END), but never "SB NOW" "SB SB SB" It's never given, and they move on, though I do get a tell from one member asking "Why isnt the Fire/Kin using SB"
I say don't worry, we're doing fine.
Get to the last mission.
Bad pull. Fine. We recover.
Get down to Scirrico and GW.
Pull Scirrico by himself. Team is running low on END due to his end draining attacks. The tank is needing healing.
I ask the Fire/Kin (in tells)...please SB the team and use Tranfusion to keep the tank healed.
I get...
[Name Deleted]: I am doing blind, slow, hold, slow and end drain, what else do you wish of me? Oh and auto heal!
Mind you, the Fire/Kin was also throwing out Fire Blast and Fire Ball.
Which I ask, to please just try my tactics (admitted that was spam the hell out of Transfusion and SB the team).
We beat Sciricco.
Then the Fire/Kin says "They're the only ones debuffing the others are't doing anything."
Now mind you, I'm watching the team, watching the debuffs/buffs.
Ill/Sonic, had all the debuffs going and the team shielded (with just the first shield, didnt have the other).
Fire/Rad, had the debuff toggles going, throwing out the target debuff, and using AM and the AOE heal (which isn't much)...ont he grouped up squishies.
And I was running in, using Drain Psyche for the -regen (slotted up to 147% -regen (so it's not like it was all that much), but using the debuffs I had available as well.
FIRE/KIN: well, speed boosts for pulling more then one AV at a time, is useless and a mootpoint.
So I explained what SB did.
FIRE/KIN: (9i can have my debuffs up more often with SB on me
Now at this point. No was asking for SB anyways, as we didnt need it on GW. We needed ID on the tank, so the tank wouldn't get held.
Now like I admitted to begin with. Tank wasn't the strongest tank out there. The tank needed a backup. Plain and simple. But the Fire/Kin was all upset over being asked. I didn't threaten to kick, I didnt get upset. I just asked.
Now all this time, everyone's asking me in tells to kick her.
FIRE/KIN: I don't tell you how to play a blaster, please don't tell me how to play my alt, please, or I shall leave now.
^^^In tell to me.
Now, I hadn't kicked her. I wasn't going to kick her. THEN SHE SAID THIS!
Sooo...I kicked her.
She of course got upset. Put me on ignore. Went into the global and said we just kept wanting SB, SB isnt going to save the team. ect...ect...which I tried to defend, but she just kept repeating herself, so I gave up, because like I said, I'm pretty sure she put me on ignore.
Now I've played...yes PLAYED...my trollers to 50.
And nope. I don't think that tank was going to stand up against Recluse without alot more help and/or luck.
But tell me...was I wrong in kicking? Was I wrong in asking to please try this tactic?
We werent a team going "SB NOW" for 5 missions. Up untill that point the only deaths had been my blaster vs the VINES (I got to close...okay...look at my sig...I obviously like to play in melee).
But tell me...was I wrong in kicking her?
I mean...look what she said.
And really. Blind? Blind? Yes, I know she meant Smoke. Against the AV? *sigh* -
Quote:Same. I can honestly say that if I left CoH/V, I would really have nowhere else to go at the moment.Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
Nicely said.
I enjoy the community here as well. After falling in love and moving 700 miles to my new life (My wife and I met playing CoH) I have found that lately CoH is the majority of my social life because I make friends slowly and don't know that many people in my new city yet.
The community accepted me immediately upon my arrival in late 2005 and has never let me down. I have no plans on leaving anytime soon because of that, if nothing else. I even went so far as to make sure I have $15 set aside every month to make sure I can keep my subscription up. -
Quote:You know, I looked at other games to lessen the wait......and none of them looked or sounded appealing. AT ALL. Guild Wars is the only other MMO I play besides this one. (I will leave the reasons why for another thread.)Originally Posted by Ban_Sidhe
Excellent blog. You really managed to capture the feelings I, and I'm sure everyone else, has for the game. Side-kicking means you can still get involved with the high level players, even more-so now with super-sidekicking. The teams are friendly, there's little annoyance from people around you (98% of the time) and it's just FUN!
I've been playing STO while waiting desperately for I17 and GR. STO is good, and feels like Trek to me; but a work colleague (Who also happens to be an ex-COX player) made the comment that "No-one in STO talks to one another" and I agree. COX has a community that welcomes in the newbies and trains them up straight away. The other games foster a terrifying level of intolerence, but not COX.
I bought the lifetime for STO because I can see that as a game, it's got legs and a future.
But it's COX I pay the subscription for. It's COX that I will inevitably KEEP returning to. And it's COX that can be held up and used as one of the finest examples of massively "MULTI-PLAYER" online gaming.
He he. Live long and prosper COX. You deserve it!
I've never burned out on this game, but I have taken a break to work on console game and other side projects. (One I wanted to start back in 1997, and here it is 2010 and I STILL keep putting it off. XD)
I don't know what it is about this game that makes me remain with it since 2006, but then again, I won't question it. I just accept it.

I logged on twice for less than an hour each time.
With the lack of new things to do, I dont have much interest in getting more level 50s, already have over 20... and they all just sit there at the party gettin dust.
I can't say much if you expect an infinite amount though.

I don't get all the "stale" comments either. I've been here since 2006, and I still haven't seen everything on either sides. *shrug*

Quote:What do you do and how do you do it?Originally Posted by UberGuy
Go, go, DXP weekend. Three days later and I am now 15M short of the 2B cap.
About 300M of that was from defeating stuff and completing missions. The rest was selling stuff into the mighty price tailwind that resulted from 3x inf + lots of new 50s being churned out.
I attempted to rely on getting lucky with random rolls in AE and drops in normal missions, but my luck with those leaves much to be desired.
On the other hand, I know of some people who can get several purples in only the span of two days.

Meant to type sec. I wondered what the team was laughing about so much until I scrolled up and saw that.

l'm happily anticipating spending even more today. 3 GR preorders, for myself, brother, and mother. Woohoo!
*Prepares Credit Card* -
I didn't want to think about it. (Gotta include multiple video cards, and the full PC upgrade after that) But it has been well worth it. Grand total is $2,243.
I could have spent it on console games. I only get the ones I like or have been into as a series on older generations, but of all the console games I own, I've maybe completely finished like 20% of them. Not to mention the games I have on my PC. I need to get around to that sometime, but it kind of sucks without my brothers to help me out like they were able to when we all lived at home.
Now my 3rd Edition Dungeons and Dragons collection? I have some of the materials as PDF files thanks to a friend, but everything I have bought myself (regarding the books) totals to almost $2,000. It doesn't include figurines I bought several boxes of, with the colossal red dragon costing the most.

Quote:You know, besides Guild Wars, I haven't even LOOKED at other games, because I was told by people who have tried them to not bother. Case in point: Star Trek Online. Everyone knew it was rushed, and from what I've heard, it shows. I like Star Trek and all.....maybe the game will be playable for me in 2-3 years?Originally Posted by Lazarus
Then you have the flipside, where people who had CoH as their first MMO try those other games and come back here talking about how all other MMOs suck.
There was an amusing quote I read about CoH somewhere once: "Depending on who you ask it is either a half-baked excuse for an MMO or the only MMO that is actually truly fun to play."
I saw a preview for this game back when it was in Alpha (Around the same time Final Fantasy X came out.) I didn't subscribe till 2006, as I was in basic training when the game launched in 2004. I didn't have a computer in 2005, though I wish I did.
That said, I have yet to encounter another game that got me hooked just by reading a review for it. I've read other reviews for other MMOs, but none of them call my name at all like City Of Heroes did.
I have been here since, and will probably remain until the servers shut down. Those other MMOs are just found to be wanting to me. -

Like I said above, I would have loved it if the other campaign setting had been expansions or something........
I could have seen Forgotten Realms being first, followed by Eberron, and the other campaign settings after that. They'd make us wait for Dark Sun for like three years just to spite us.
Maybe in the future there will be a D&D MMO that does this? I can dream at least. -
Quote:All of our heroes would be completely and severly outclassed.Originally Posted by Tired Angel
I know they are getting their own MMO in the near future but CoH/CoV versus DC Comics!
Superman vs Statesman
Batman vs Manticore
Aquaman vs Captain Mako
Flash vs Synapse
Wonder Woman vs Miss Liberty
Some super hero super smash down!!
I think I just became 12 years old all over again....
Statesman MIGHT have a light upper-hand against Superman with magic based powers, but c'mon. It's Superman.
Batman's arsenal seems to be much more vast than Manticore's. Not to mention the 127 styles of martial arts that Batman has trained in and mastered.
Flash and Synapse? Synapse is fast.......but The Flash makes him look like a sloth.
Yeah, DC Heroes (even the non-powered ones) tend to be on the "getting close to DBZ powerlevels" side. -
