Poison

Thanks for all your hard work, Alexa. You will be missed! (in a villaninous way, of course...)

I love the unlockable contacts. There are just some issues with them:

- the requirements for some are off (like Lunata requiring the Ghost badge between lvl 5 and 10 when the foes are around lvl 14)

- what was said, the requirements are almost impossible to find out without guides

- what bugs me most: once you've missed out on a hidden contact, that was it.

Because foe the Carnival of Shadows backgrounder, pretty much all the information from the 45-50 Carnie arc was spilt and people complained about too many spoilers.

[/ QUOTE ] Funny enough, the Carnival backstory was posted by IGN or someone even before the game was in beta, so some of us already knew the story even before the villains were in the game.

I understand the "no spoiling" wish of some, but the CoH/CoV universe is so rich with great background stories, it'd be a shame to keep them back, especially the really spicy stuff, like the connection of factions and who with whom.

Cool, I really enjoy these villain backgrounds. But still, they're not deep enough for me! In the Skull one, the important relation to Sebastian Frost of the Family wasn't mentioned. And for the Hellions there's a close relations to the Warriors, since it was Odysseus who gave Pocker his powers! Why are those being let out? Are those infos (and more) at least in the CoH pnp RPG?

I'm sure you meant Tampa. Right? RIGHT!?!

[/ QUOTE ] No, uhm... somewhere in Europe! Close to where I am! Yeah!!!

Very, very cool. Wish I could've been there. And Cuppa looks badass (in a good way).

Oh, wow, that sounds awesome. Now just let me check if there's a flight going to Austin... *grumbles about being in Germany*

Castle, you rock. Many thanks.

Posi:

Passport and Bughunter. What were those badges planned for and will we see them implemented?

[ QUOTE ]
But yeah - I am still here with my heroes.

[/ QUOTE ] And don't you go away, lady! *hugs and doesn't let go*

DoH!
When I posted, I didn't have my complete songlist loaded up. I'll just try again:

1) Robbie Williams - Freedom
2) Yo Yo Ma - Bach Suite No.5 in C Minor: Gavotte
3) Hitchhiker's Guide OST - Journey of the Wizard
4) Apocalyptica - Toreador
5) Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Mephistopheles
6) Members of Mayday - Sonic Empire
7) AmIEvil - Four Little Metroids OC Remix
8) The Prodigy - Poison
9) Megaherz - *********
10) Ennio Morricone - L'Arena

Stratovarius - Concierto de Aranjuez
Manowar - Spirit Horse of the Cherokee
Storm - Time to Burn
Smoke City - Underwater Love
Rammstein - Du riechst so gut
Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang
Bon Jovi - Dry Country
George Michael - Killer
Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World
Theme from Hawaii Five-O

And I need that Antonio Banderas guitar track, Arctic! Is it the song from the beginning of the movie ("Morena de mi Corazón") or where he teaches the kid how to play guitar?

With the launch of I7, I want to see the following things in the game:

-trenchcoats
-gun+sword combo power
-water-based powers (IMO what the girl uses)
-shoulder kittens for male heroes

I don't like that the Asian heroes do not fit the CoH world at all. They look like they fled from a Final Fantasy game. I'm not saying their design (as in their look) is bad, the opposite. But they do not have the same flair as the rest of the game and that makes it a bad design.

Hey guys,

Manticore funded *and* founded Wyvern. The rest of the Phalanx are not aware of that however.

Carry on...

[/ QUOTE ] You mean there's a big army of guys in brown leather with helmets similar to Manti's who use bows, are called Wyvern and the Phalanx don't even suspect there's a connection to Manticore???
Man, they're more oblivious than I thought...

I want to be happy about this, but since it's "we're working on it" and "no timeline" I think even my SG will have a functional SG before this new solution goes live.

www.CoHGuru.com is pretty much up to date and keeps getting updated (Astartus is responsible for that).

Very nicely put together. The Clocks have an interesting background and I really dig the old newspaper piece.

Next I'd suggest writing about the thugs in CoH, so everyboy understand the relation between the Superadine people (Skulls and Family under Sebastian Frost, the Trolls and Grendel's fall to Atta) and magically enhanced (Hellions and the Warriors under Odysseus, Outcasts).

I love WarWitch cause I have known her for quite a bit now. 2 years now, 3?
Pohsyb, Positron, Gilga (sadly left us) and Manticore are great guys, though I'd say the Cryptic devs in general are great. Cuppa is amazing and deserves all the love she gets from the community. Castle and Weaver have meritedly and quickly become fan favorites due to their hard work and close colaboration with the players.

My gf (9 1/2 years now) has been playing CoH for over a year now. I played since CoH beta, so the reason it took a bit was that we moved together last summer and after watching me play for about a week, she created a char on my account and 1 day later insisted on her own account.

We still play daily, RP a lot and have lots of fun.

Thus the NEED for a LOW Cost Vault is seen and heard!
Maybe make a vault that naturally builds when you build a base... like the entry room is?

[/ QUOTE ] Yep, I asked for this in beta. There used to be a SG vault in the City Hall waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in CoH beta where you could deposit enhancers and inspirations. I wouldn't mind having to run to AP if I was able to deposit my Salvage there for now.

And Posi, seriously, please, look at the plot/room/item prices again. Or the prestige rewards. It's just not fair for many.

Fire/DA here, because it fit my concept best.

At higher levels Brutes get the power to summon Synapse and throw him at enemies as a range attack.

[/ QUOTE ] Hahaha, how I wish!

Those are awesome quotes! Some are insider jokes, some are plain cool IC, I love them all.
Props to all the devs who came up with them.

That would be more than awesome. Some things should not really be available for heroes, but hey, better too many options than limited ones.

There are many villain options that should not be available to heroes (approximately 500 skulls and 1.37 million spikes, the zombie options, the "evil" faces, etc), but there are many that heroes deserve to have, too. Like many of the neutral faces, the reptilian and feline faces, the lab coat, the new leather jacket and military vest, some of the patterns and capes, etc.
The only costume option I can't decide on if it would be good for CoH are the monstrous legs. But I tend to "not share".
