  1. Hello.

    I am hoping this suggestion won't fall on deaf ears.

    My suggestion is to add an Extra Character Select Screen that holds up to 24 characters. For characters that are level 50, that will never be played again. They won't have anything in their slots (no enhancements), all they will be is their "Personal information" and the avatar it's self.

    The idea is, atleast for me, that at this point I have some obscene number of 50s, most of which no matter how much new content they bring out, I will never play them ever again. I don't want to just delete them, as at one point they were my super awesome alt... but now as time has gone on all they do is just take up space on my main server.

    When a character is placed in the "Hall of Trophies" they will be permanently slotted in, with no chance of removal ever... unless you pay 5.99$. You could mouse over the character and see all sorts of information about it, like between what dates you actually started and finished playing the character. all the badges it has gotten. what story arcs it completed.

    When you move a character to this trophy room it would cost no real money... but it would free up one space on the server you removed it from.

    It would be cool if you could somehow link your Hall of trophy's to your current characters badge/personal information so when other people click on you to see your info they can look at all your retired heroes and villains.

    Does the story sound ok? That is only like 1/8 of what I had taken out originally >.> I put way to much detail into my copy here. I wanted it to play out like an epic adventure into the future... and I started writing the nesxt part to it, and that is way to big as well.
  4. I find it unfair still to this day that when I add all the detail I want I come out to some obscure percentage like 112% meaning 12% over. And when I scale it down to fit the games restrictions I then am screwed in other ways.

    I don't know if I will revise it again. (I will fix spelling errors) But?! I have been messing with this arc for a month and a half trying to smoosh it down to fit the constraints of the game.

    A brief walk through?

    Mission One: Get in and Get out!

    That is your big clue here.

    Our reporter Jaqueline Ash, who is the only brave reporter that still even goes neer the Atlas Park war walls... is deperatly seeking a hero who won't fail her in trying to stop the evil Crow gang that has been a plague in Atlas Park for neerly 50 years. (yes we jumped to the future for this section of the trilogy).
    Abit of the lead up that had to get cut out in order to fit.

    Along time ago... (lol) in the now... a new gang came to AP. At first they were seeming to help both the Longbow and the regular police force. They were taking out the rival gangs. Skulls and Hellions were the first to go. Then they went farther and took out all remaining signs of the Vaz, Lost, Outcasts in neighboring towns, and Trolls. Most people were cheering the Crows on. Thinking they have finally gotten rid of the damn gang activity in AP.

    After they had rid AP of the rival gangs a new drug hit the streets "DRX707". It had the same effect on the people of AP as crack did when it hit the streets of New York City in the 80s. It created masses of drones. For the next 10 years AP was a war zone. People stopped coming, The Crows trippled the strength of the war walls. They seem to have a scientific unit that is rarely seen. We only know they have one because of the war walls change in strength.

    The last 4o years has been a complete take over of AP and The Crows are in charge. There are no Longbow brave enough to go inside the war walls, most reporters wont even come within 100 miles of the city. The army? Where are they. They never came around. Then the Supers. The Supers at first came everyday to knock on the doors of City Hall and try to regain their controll over this part of Paragon. But everytime they failed. We would be lucky to see the Hero limp out. Mostly they came out in body bags. Our biggest and bravest Heroes, Positron, Castle, Swan, etc. Have been busy fighting off the Rikti since forever.

    Nothing has been done. It's a complete wasteland in there. twnety four years ago Jaqueline Ash was born, our fearless reporter. Her parents both scientists for Crey Industries were busy with their projects and Jackie was mainly raised by her grandmother and aunts, who told her about how AP used to be, when it was beautiful, and the sun shined down on new heroes just entering AP for the first time. Then they told her stories of when the Crows first showed up... and the despair they caused forthe past 50 years.

    Jackie, who recently graduated from Talos U. Took classes in both criminalism and journalism. During her time at University she came across a "shady figure" who offered her a pass into AP. Since the Crows took over there is only 1 way in and out of AP, a pass, and last anyone heard a pass cost neerly 80 million Influence. a price most people in Paragon could never afford. Anyways, Jackie had decided awhile back that she would cover what is going on in her grandmothers beloved AP. It is afterall where she grew up, met her husband, and got married. She was one of the last to leave during the forced removal of people back in 2013.

    With the help of the H.R.A.P. Jackie herself snuck into the war walls of AP and saw the destruction which has happened over the past 40 something years. it looks terrible, and the bangers are on the streets like hungry hyena's just waiting for their next bone. She quickly and quietly left, and has since been looking for string heroes that can get in there and take down the dreadful Crows.

    The H.R.A.P. stands for Heroes Resistance of Atlas Park an underground organization set up by none other than Grandma Ash. Desperatly hoping they can get their strength up, and have a solid leader to take down the Crows once and for all.

    What they do not know is the actual leader of The Crows is... (oops jumping the gun)


    So your big clue, is Get in and get out. It is the one thing Jackie is asking you to do. Can you get in without them noticing? Can you find a piece of proof hidden in a barrel? and then Leave?
    This mission does not ask you to fight at all, as a matter of fact stealthing would be better... You have a 5 minute timer. Meaning GET IN and find it... and GET OUT.

    In the second mission, which was originally 2 missions, but had to be cut down due to constarints... You are asked to try and get the Crows during a weak time, they are moving their headquarters from a police station to a newly built kinda disorganised highrise in the center of AP. In this mission if you have your settings higher, there is an Elite Boss.

    Moving along to the 3rd and final mission. yes should have been 4th/5th missions but again, I am not good at snipping things, I think its all important to the overall story.
    But. In this 3rd mission jackie has had a source tell her that the big main boss (so they think) is in their new offices right now, and a group from HRAP has already headed over thinking they could handle this guy with ease.

    you are asked to go and assist the members of HRAP and try and take down the main boss of The Crows. He is an Arch Villain if your settings permit it.

  6. My issue stems from open missions, Christmas to be exact... maybe Halloween as well.

    I would join one of the teams out in the event area, and either be SKed up to the wrong level making my powers pretty much useless... or SKed DOWN, which pisses me off alot more, what they hell do I want to be on a lvl 28 team in PI for??? Seriously, WHY?

    Oh I hated that.
  7. I dunno why Babs, is here? Perhaps he is trying to convert me?
    BLASPHEMY?!?!?!!?

    Castle is the awesome one, I know it!!! He is the little ray of hope I cling too... While the announcement may come from Positron, I know... Just like any good speech writer, it really came from Castle. He is the guy behind that other guy who really makes it all happen.

    Surely everything in the world is marketing's fault. And i do mean that. Marketing cigarettes to childeren for countless years. Marketing the impossibly skinny woman to young childeren... failure to tell us information about something we wanna know
  11. Why in the Hell would I vote for other NC games?
    games where the Marketing Department actually ADVERTISES those games?

    Screw that.

    And yeah, I have never seen such a buttsucker of a marketing dept. worse than CoX's!

    And Yes, Defiant F T W!
    Virtue is better. Hands down. But, maybe because you didn't know that upfront... anyways, um. People are always helpful... but just look at this section of the forums... People just bored to pieces.

    your new, the content of the game should last you about 5 YEARS til you get tired of it
  13. SSK sucks when you join a team thinking you wil be 50... and some ****** lvl 43 has the star and procedes to act like its ok ... even thoe your fighting lvl 50 monsters...

    Freaking idiot.
  14. When the best advice people have for others on the forums is to QUIT playing... "Take a Break"...

    I think an insurmountable amount of FAIL has overcome whoever is in charge.

    When Newbies come to our forums now, all they see is a sea of people being UNHAPPY. Get on the ball NC this can't be what you want to see.

    tell Marketing to SCREW OFF and give us something to be excited about.

    Takin' A Break

    *I don't break from the forums*

    But, I have already been taking a break from the actual game for months and months and months and months... I am tired of taking a break from the best MMO.
    But - listen to her but - it's really hard to actually play.

    Just wish they would stop disappointing me and actually let us have new news, for me to be excited about for a few weeks... by then the beta should be closer >.<

    Hate you marketing *shakes fists*.
  16. Castle Castle He's our man, if he can't leak awesome Going Rogue information?! No one can!!!?!

    <3
  17. Why in the hell does end game have to be hard? Why cant it just be fun?

    In all the games I have played it's like people want to stand around and fight Elites/Champions where it takes an hour just to beat 1 guy. That is rediculously stupid to me, and lacks any sort of fun. I get that obviously I am in the minority with this, but GOSH DARN IT!!! I will be kinda salty if all they can offer us is a bunch of time sink boredom fights fighting guys that are way to hard and not much fun after the first 1 or 2 runs through.

    End game that would be super fun would be things like, chose your own adventure story lines, where the stories change based on your choices. Dynamic maps where it might take awhile to get through them but as you progress the story draws you in. ???

    Something other than time sink raids... please.
  18. Makes sense to me >.<

    I made 1 "Last" villain about a year ago... She was gonna be the last one I ever played through all the content.

    She is level 42 right now, and damnit.. I can not play her. I don't have any desire to do so. And she was my big "This is it" character. She is a clone*ish of my husbands main villain "Fear Death".
    I was so gonna purple herout and make her far more epic than my husbands main... just cant do it...

    Then I made a "this is it" hero... named her Harliquen Dancer... was so excited... played her... got bored :\ she is stuck at 42... just cant play her. Just cant do it.

    Want to and DO NOT WANT to all at the same time.
  19. I haven't farmed anything in this game for months >.>
    I rarely log in. I have logged in more this month than in the past 5 months >.>

    (logged in 3 times for a total of 3 hours)

    Woot!!!

    I don't even care much about purples anymore, I see them as completely attainable if I want them. I can't even play Villains at all. Can't even log in to it. I can log into Heroes, but it takes effort.
  20. According to my husband, Going Rogue should come "Now Now Now"... because there is nothing to do "Now Now Now" that he hasn't done too many times already.

    That coupled with the fact that we don't hear any new News about it, has a pretty sour taste in his mouth...

    In the past 30 days he has logged on twice... One time yesterday to do 1 run of Battlemaiden to see if I could go 1 to 14 in it... I only got to 12... and 1 time today so he could test my new story arc... amd he logged immediately off.

    I am tellin ya, every single night we say the same things to each other... Where the hell is the info? God its like they dont want us to stay subscribed... so bored with CoX right now... so bored... /snores
  21. It is the year 2068, and after a bloody 50 year struggle The Crows have finally established themselves as the New Leaders of Atlas Park. The Longbow have all but disappeared underground. The Outcasts, Trolls, Hellions, Skulls have been irradicated. Most heroes don't even show their faces anymore.

    *Custom Foes
    *Custome Elite Boss
    *Custom Arch Villain

    Level Range: 1-54

    *Challenging, Sci-Fi, Save the World

    3 Missions

    2 of them are timed.

    I will warn you, it's hard. I think I removed all the spelling errors...

    Yeah, well I hate the marketing team for this game. I wonder if it is just 1 guy sitting in a tiny dark cubical... playing WoW when he should actually be working on the ad campaigns... working on new fliers to hand out to comic shops... working on new layouts for websites...

    New players are waiting to become the super hero they always wanted to be... but, they just don't know where to look. They might have seen Champions... but the art really turned them off. So they sit their in their basements, dormrooms, apartments, condo's, or homes just waiting for a roadmap to Paragon to be slipped under their door...

    and sitting and waiting they will be while this current marketing staff keeps going on nicely paid lunches and vacations to tahiti...
  24. I think if Marketing hates us, they really have no idea how much we truely dislike them.

    I call for a 50% pay cut... and maybe some people should start looking for a new job...

    Whatever scales they are looking at, or information that tells them how to do their job?! Well they should throw it away, and start listening to the people who matter... US... WE PAY FOR THE GAME... If we did not exist they would not have a job?! Atleast not working for Paragon...
  25. um. How marketing treats it's loyal subscribers.
    We have had nothing new added to the game in forever...
    and that pay for it booster pack does not count.

    We need information atleast once per month if not more.

    I think that alone would keep customers happy.

    (besides that we need more new powers, and more new things to do.)

    Dynamic content FTW.
