I remember when the first "I remember when" thread was posted, and everything in it was either stuff from beta, or that happened barely a couple weeks before.

[/ QUOTE ]

I remember getting my first, and only, "first post before redname" in that thread. *sniffle*

Also, logging into CoH for the first time in pre-order beta, along with 100's of others all crowded into one instance of the tutorial zone. There were literally zero Infected to kill, and they were spawning verrry rarely....I remember I ran around for an hour until I *finally* got my two kills, went back to my contact ready to get into the game proper....and then being told to hunt 4 more.

Server: Freedom
Character: Sarah Sinclair (Level 50 Warshade)
SG name: Nightwatchers
When do you crash: Originally crashed inside an MA arc mission, now crashing everytime I try to log in. (Boots to log in screen with "No connectron to mapserver" message.)

Wasn't the biggest problem with TK the fact that you could be near perma repel-held (stuck in rag doll), and therefore unable to even use insps at all? a breakfree change wouldnt really help at all.

Why not just make TK grant the target lots of KB protection?

Interesting sub-note: Clearly, from the rest of the paper, Virtue is the One True Server, as Tsetse and the rest from Evo were also in the article.

Yep. Evo, kicking tail, taking names, defining reality. Way to go, guys!

[/ QUOTE ]

iirc virtue is the original server, renamed virtue at theend of beta. I could be remembering it wrong though, been awhile.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, the first server was Freedom (Prime in CoH Beta). Pinnacle was second added (Late Beta iirc).

Personally, I love this set.

I don't feel the -res is overpowered, all rad or all dark (Radiation Emission and Dark Miasma) teams have been around stacking -res for a long time, but in practice you can't balance around what an extremely vast minority of people do (any set in large numers has the same effect anyway.)

The sounds, are OK..I don't really mind them but something a little more bass heavy with some echo would be nice.

Graphics, some colour would be good..I liket h eshockwave graphics alot (if I'm not mistaken, theres a nice blueish thing going on there) all grey IS a little dull.

As for it dealing smashing damage...wouldn't be my first choice. But I can see how it would be a balancing issue. It kind of makes sense, but in my opinion all energy would be prefered (though not enough to want to lose/change any other part of the set for it), it a minor thing.

I love having the knockback tool, as a guaranteed knockback power, and not random like energy blast. It makes it more useful strategically.

Overall, great set. A+

(on a side note, it does more damage than archery because the arrow set's powers recharge faster, on par with the Radiation Blast set, while Sonic is more like the slower recharging/frontloaded damage sets)

Well..if your THAT worried about the explosions..

I guess we could give him some seran wrap or something

I remember that night in pre-order beta when the comtaminated never came...we waited and waited and waited, but they just never came.

I remember that night I was overjoyed to find two of them and finally get that done with, and also the shock which followed as I moved to the next contact...

I remember saying I would play the underdog and rolled as a Regen...

I remember that guy who hit 40 two weeks after release, and the mass of AR/Devs which came soon after..

I remember the first time I hit Atlas Park, like a kid in a candy store...

"You will be able to view the events in "Observer Mode", either when they are running, or if you are defeated and players on your side are still running around."

I read it as we can watch while the events are running....

Anyway..how many cookies does it take to get on the private test server?

I would LOVE to do Pulp stuff...but would it sell? That's the issue.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, Yes it would.


Quickly now!

[ QUOTE ]
Hahahahaha, that's great.

I like how he doesn't even mention the fact that characters slide on ice. That doesn't just happen automatically, they had to tell the computer to make that happen!

[/ QUOTE ]

I sure he just forgot to but QBASIC on his list...

This is why your parents told you never to listen to rumors.



They won't charge two subsciption fees. End of story.

Could've been worse.


He might have put it in a riddle

The most fun I had at level 18

This is one of those problems tha'll seem to go away on its own in a week or two

New sets are going in in issue 3, complain if it isnt in by then

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not sure if anyone has noticed this BUT. If you've played on the test server and gone to Peregrine Island. Portal Corp is surrounded by Military Gaurds and Personel. If you've noticed this you can pretty much assume what is going to happen. Hello Portal Invasion All I know is that this is going to be awsome. I'm checking this website 4-5 times a day just trying to see if there's any new messages from Statesman. Gj on getting and keeping our attention Devs

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats cause thats the entrence to he new Shadow Shard zones

But yeah..Im pretty sure its them attacking

Moo-laru you think?......Guess I should get my pepper spray ready.

[ QUOTE ]
I see. Adding a resistance power to Super Reflexes is a good idea. Ooh, maybe an ACC boosting power or something. Blasters get one, why not me?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, actually it is a good idea.

I have it.....

Kinda nice to know i guess


I have the answer.. Dont Highlight my post if you don't want it


[/ QUOTE ]

Actualy, you are almost there but not quite. Take a look at your last word. You are not using Positrons original code, but the modified one. His original is actualy right.

[/ QUOTE ]

ME SMASH!


...........ack yeah I know.....got the gist of it though.. Ill edit my origional post

I have it.....

Kinda nice to know i guess


I have the answer.. Dont Highlight my post if you don't want it

Its just them taking their official stance for legal reasons. The can't ban for doing it (mostly because they cant tell who is..but I digress..)

All they are doing is deleting post s, not banning accounts.
Like I said before, it has a reason, let it drop especially because sounds are fixed in issue two. Soon enough for you

Or maybe if you dont like a part of the game, simply petition for a change. I would think that if enough people want better maps, cryptic will put them in eventually. In the mean time simply learn your zones. it isnt that hard.

Modifying the client should be against the TOS, and should be wiped here on these boards.

[/ QUOTE ]

They don't want good maps .. excessive travel time is one of the main timesink devices used in this game.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll assume this is your first MMORPG and let that slide.
But take my word for it, dont play SWG or Everquest or WoW if you think CoH has bad travel time.

Superman's shield or Batman's logo

[/ QUOTE ]

Cryptic can be held responsible for something like that if they created the file, or allowed the name in the case of reserving names of heroes. But If someone else alters the texture so that only he can see it, first off no one else can see it(hence the client side), and secondly it is not crypics problem anymore. Also, If I draw a superman logo or a batman logo and put it on my computer or hang it on my refrigerator, DC/marvel or whoever cant do anything about it. I dont believe this decision is for such instances as you listed. why it was brought up and stated? Im not sure.

[/ QUOTE ]

If the alowed the post to stay on their forum then it IS Cryptics problem. unless they prove they are doing everything they can, then they CAN have legal action taken against them. Same thing with website owners who allow insults to stay up, they can be held accountable.

As of now, mods still work as override wasn't removed yet.

They just cant be advertised on the forums, as its against the ToS.

As for the its coming thing I said, I found one of hem in a list of questions Positron answered, havent found the rest yet but I'll keep looking

[ QUOTE ]
3&gt; NPC stores, once they are your contact, why must they disappear from your contacts once you complete their mission, it was so nice to easily target them after the mission. Will that be changed?
[ QUOTE ]
To remain consistent with other stores not being on your map. We want to make it so that other stores appear on your map once you discovered them, once this happens, then the NPC Stores will remain contacts as well.

I don't get it. If this is a problem now, then it's always been a problem. The ToS hasn't changed. So why is it that it was allowed to go on for this long without anyone saying anything? It certainly wasn't because it wasn't known about and it's only served to get more people interested. I know of many occasions where players tried to get an official response on this and were not told anything.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm guessing they finally came to an agreement as to how to interpret the ToS regarding map patches.

My personal take on the ToS was my map patches weren't EDITING any of the game files. It was ADDING items outside these files.

Furthermore I suspect that, in the 2nd update, they will fix the method of how CoH attempts to access the in-game maps. Currently it's overrideable by creating an external directory structure, identical to the directory structure internal to the pigg file packets. I'll bet that CoH will implement an internal only search in regards to maps.

[/ QUOTE ]

If they do that, I'll definitely cancel my subscription. I'm hoping there's another type of modification they intend to block here. I can get the same effect with printed maps, but its the principle of the thing. If it's going to be THAT draconian, I'll find something else to do with my time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Im guessing it is somthing other than changing clothes they want to stop.

As mods a re getting moe and more advanced, from sounds to clothes to effects to maps or whatever, peopel are getting a better grasp of the en gine and the coding behind it. You can already see that with the mod that made the xp "bubbles" fill in randomly.

My guess is they are stopping it before it gets out of hand and REALLY becomes a a cheating problem, which is unfortunatly, very likely.
