    A few years ago an ex-Paragon Studios concept artist posted some CoH2 concept art on his blog. The post was quickly taken down but not before I had made copies of the pictures

    I suspect I would get in trouble if I posted them here without getting permission from Paragon Studios and/or the artist but I'll say that many of the ideas appear to have been implemented in GR/Freedom and the stuff released on the Market.

    As to the future? I think there is much that could be done with the CoH IP but probably not a CoH2 MMO as I think superheroes are still quite a niche market, especially outside of the US.

    I didn't know him but it's always sad to lose one of our little community. My condolences to his family & friends

    Nope it got awarded automatically a couple of weeks before the 8 year anniversary.

    Edit:

    I am the only person with the badge confirmed at City Info Tracker but there may be 1 or 2 others with it.

    Thank you!
    Tuesdays are often patch days but Paragon are quite poor about giving prior notice when these may occur. Patches tend to be scheduled for a 4 hour downtime so the servers should be up in 15 mins or so as of this post.

    This is true although you may need some lucks and blues. With IOs it gets much easier. With IOs and fully incarnate it's pretty simple.

    Yup, finished one of these earlier and it was definitely respec 2 at that time.

    The veteran badges are completely broken for most people atm.

    At this point, I do not consider the issue as dead and will continue to advocate for the issue to be addressed in some manner in the future, however right now there are other issues which are much higher on the priority list for us to address.

    FYI: This issue, while seemingly simple, is actually very complicated. It involves not only development time from Paragon but also development time from PlayNC in Austin and potentially support from Seattle. This is not a task that would be easily accomplished and would involve a significant investment of time. This, along with the complexity of how to actually award the badges under the new system (annual badges just *don't work* under the new business model as years subscribed are not tracked in the same manner), are the major roadblocks preventing this from being resolved anytime in the near term.

    As an additional FYI, additional CS tickets should not be filed regarding this issue. While I do understand that this may be disappointing to some of you, unfortunately no amount of appeals will fast track this project.

    Thanks and my apologies to have to be the bearer of bad news.

    We had the same problem on Union a couple of days ago

    It certainly seems to be. Props to the dev team for squishing this bug so quickly

    I've soloed this arc with all but one of my 50+3s, including an empath defender, which took a while. The extra levels really help.

    It looks like we weren't the first to experience this bug:

    I am hoping it's a fix for the summer event TP issue.

    That seems to be the standard tactic on most of the runs I have been on too

    I have learned something quite valuable here....never ever post something that doesn't involve a badge being bugged or for some other issue. LESSON LEARNED.


    Good Day!


    I SAID, GOOD DAY!
    A small tip, I find most forums become a far more pleasant place with judicious use of the ignore feature. Snark becomes a non-issue

    Surely all of the real world cases should be described as cannibalism. As far as I am aware, none of them involved reanimated corpses.

    Ok, that last part may have been exaggerated, but Fog of War is definitely bugged and has been for quite some time.
    Really? I haven't noticed any problems since the last fix a couple or three issues ago.

    EDIT:

    I should add I only play on one PC atm.

    I have been on a team with the same problem that used a bucket load of team insps, which would be an option on a MO run.

    That goes against the info posted by TopDoc above:

At +6 most debuffs are only 16% (about 1/6) effective. Reactive Interface was 0.38% with no lights.

    Below 50% HP he gets Temp Invulnerability which adds 50% Smashing/Lethal Resistance for a total of around 70%. He resists Smashing/Lethal Resistance debuffs by that much as well. With a lot of stacked debuffs, he was at -62% Psi Resistance, -20% Fire/Cold/Energy/Neg/Toxic, but +50% Smashing/Lethal.
    Having said that, give this a few more days and we (I mean the CoH community) will have tactics nailed completely and team makeup will be less important.

    Experience says that the damage on his attacks is resistable, except for Flow Lightning.

    I would summarise tactics for this one as:

    -As much -res as you can get
    -As much +dmg as you can get (and to a lesser extent recharge buffs too)
    -Not too much smash/lethal dmg
    -4 or 5 Ultimates
    -Don't die
    -And most importantly, a league leader who know what they are doing and a league that can follow the plan

    Looks like a follow up to his previous album, of which you can hear a snippet here.
