I will be on later tonight with a kin and show you my strategy for it if you are interested, go grab shivs and nukes and we can drop some old school stink on it.
if you want to hang on vent to co-ordinate I have one. Send me a PM all who are interested in making this a regular thing. -
I was thinking of rebooting my VG after coming back to the game, although I am pretty much just in a holding pattern for DC Universe Online and chilling with the cool folks of Virtue. I wouldn't mind running some RSF's on my old kin.

been around since day one, been messing with Champions but it doesn't seem to satisfy my love for playing support. The agro mechanic doesn't work at all and seems that the buff/healing/support powers are worthless because nobody teams. COH looks very dated on my machine, I have become spoiled by all the HD gaming that has come out, so I need my eyecandy, but not even ultra graphics mode really does it for me. I am really having a good time with some of the nicest players I have met in years. I have been hanging on Pinnacle for years, but Pinnacle went from being the happy drunk server to the ridiculous player stalking/drama/farming server give this post 5 minutes, you'll see. I haven't really wanted to play this game for about 2 years but I am just going to have fun and stay in a holding pattern for something "Definitely Cool" to come out. I look forward to hanging with you guys, but so far I am very impressed with your community.

that sounds extremely cool, escorting survivors thru the zone to a safe spot while defending them from rikti invaders, a large coordinated resque could be fun.

Quote:This. As said before, the engine could be the best one ever made capable of pushing out hyper-realistic vistas or beautifully surreal scenes, but unless you have good art direction to take advantage, your game can still look like crap.
Technically(and I mean that as "from a technical perspective" not in a semantic way) CO has good graphics. But aesthetically, to me it looks terrible.
On the other hand, to me, STO looks both technically and aesthetically really good (some ugly ship designs notwithstanding(I'm looking at you Envoy!)). It may have some slowdowns in some places (asteroid-heavy scenes with AA on for instance) but it looks great.
On the other side of the coin, WoW's graphics are technically pretty simple and blocky, but I love the art direction. So to me it looks great even with its simplistic graphics.
We have great art direction here, even if some parts of the game are no longer technically up-to-date. Ultra Mode helped but not completely. But the game still looks great to me.
Back on topic: I'd love to see the rest of that article if you can find it. I love old stuff like that, obsolete designs and such.
oh i have it right here....but its mothers day and I wont hear the end of it if it try to use the PC...gtg gonna get yelled at -

To be honest I sub to this game but I dont play it, I play Champions, and you are dead on right. I have a nice 260GTX card and a 26 inch 1080P HD monitor, I checked out "ultra-graphics" and was severely disappointed. All due respect to the work that they put into this game, but I wouldn't shine up my old 2001 pickup and call it a 2010, what's under the hood is what matters. So you ask yourself, the models in the screenshots look exactly like the ones in the game today. I have more scans to make, but you will say "hey that costume piece is still around and still looks the same" they said that the game was due out in 2001, so that means the models have been around since when ...1999- 2000 ?? When I get home from work I will finish the scans, you'll see there is not much difference in the skins on those models. Even Atlas Park looked the same in 2001.

oh for god's sake its Float !
lol
in the article they refer to COH as a "PC RPG" I guess the acronym "MMORPG" wasn't concieved yet. Another funny thing is the article says the game would be released July 2001.
I want my 9 year vet reward for buying that magazine ! -
I'll try to put up the whole article, thats only about 1/4 of it.
-
wait GG that looks like you a little bit ...Is there something you're not telling us ?

I dug this up looking thru my old Wizard Magazines and thought it would be a good laugh for people. It's actually what made me say "woah that looks cool"
November 2001
lol I want light limbs ! -
Quote:Nobody ever congratulates themself on being sane..Oh and countdown for the jibberish-filled self-congratulatory post about how it's just a game, "my point is proven" and the same tired troll mantras the steaming pile of fail comes up with. and don't forget a plug for the new best game ever! Champion onl...oh wait, that's not it. Star Trek....nope that didn't quite pan out, oh DC online! that's so much better than this blablabla.
you're a punchline and the server is a better place without you. /thread
you're supposed to be...
Thanks , I'm flattered that you find me and my website so fascinating, I put a lot of work into it. I am sure once you get a skill someone deems worth paying you for, I mean other than stalking men and their families, you'll have work to be proud of too. So... you want to share with everyone how and why you are bragging about supposedly stealing information off of my personal computer? -
Somewhere long ago you guys crossed the line into something resembling mental illness. There is a person claiming to have supposed screenshots of emails off of my personal computer. This does not strike anyone as odd ? Judge Judy wouldn't consider that proof of anything, not even if you went around calling yourself a private investigator could you pull that off.
Any method of actually taking information, supposedly, from my computer would have been done so illegally.
kwervo, please, get over it, you guys are living in something that is just self destructive. You are sitting around making up lies about a guy from a video game who hasn't played it in two years. People see you guys go off on your rants and don't want to speak up. Enough of them have told me personally, they don't speak up because they think that if they do they will become targets of your immature personal attacks and harassment in-game or at their home. Because if you think people don't know what you boys did to me and to Envy you are living under a rock.
To clarify, you are liars, and there is something profoundly wrong with a community that calls itself "heroes" and fears the threat of being bullied over doing the right thing. The only thing you and others know about me is the lies fed to you by one very sick person. If you want to curse at me and call me names, I am a big boy and I can take whatever you have to say, but young man you seriously need to grow up and get a life. At this point I interviene out of pure pity, as if I were a bystander who just saw a dog get hit by a car "sad, the poor dumb animal didn't know the car was coming". Please get help, you are still young, I really do wish you the best. -
Dear Johnny,
On behalf of the silent majority who do not wish to draw unwanted attention to themselves by aggrivating the crazy people, I wish you good luck. As evidenced here anyone wishing to show their indivuality and leadership will be heckled, shouted down, and called an idiot.
My group has long since stopped liking this game, dispite the insane rantings of some people, we left the game because we no longer liked it. One person cannot take credit for another group leaving no more than I can take credit for the 100,000+ people who left the game befor we did. If I did I would be locked up in a room in a little white jacket where I could spend all day telling people I had screenshots of other people's fictional private emails.
Please kids, get over it, give it up, the community at large is embarassed by your behavior and would rather sit by and not say anything out of fear of becoming a target of your immaturity. I left this game about two years ago, but left my account active to drop in from time to time, funny how the only thing people really know about me is the lies these guys tell about me. I played this game for maybe 4 years, I played a lot fo PVP, and I made a lot of friends. When I can walk away from a game for two years and find out that I still own the action here without even playing, now thats what I call getting my money's worth out of my $15.
I'm glad you all still think about me. Now back to farmville. -
great post, I love pvp..just not in this game any more. Thanks to the free re-activation weekend I can see that nothing has changed. I have to hurry back to leveling at pvp now, I don't want to miss any of the fun , but heck theres a pvp match going every 5 minutes 24/7 anyways.

Hey theres some of those bad graphics, and my Sega genesis blows away an xbox360. Coh was the first MMO I ever played where I heard someone say "I have an emachine" and they weren't talking about a foot rest.

on pinnacle, only 1 thing can quench your thirst -
absolutly, having a lot of fun , a lot of my old SG is back and playing in an SG called UltraViolent. If you go into the pvp queue we are the guys in black and purple wearing a kitty as an SG emblem. My global is @Pure-American currently playing Pure American, Spectre Verde, BottleRocket, and Pure Terror. If you see me or any of us right click then select duel, we are always up for a good fight.

not worth the aggrivation Pie-Ro, it's a thankless job that just brings you more grief than its worth. I dont think there are any leaders of sucessful raids left in game, myself, beef, mystiqual heart, and fashionsense are all in Champions. I dunno where Spark-1 is, if he is still around or not. Anyways good luck, maybe someone can show hami how much prestige he has and hami will just die out of the sheer awesomeness of it.
We all know what happened to "that guy" son, leaders lead people towards a goal, followers just stay where they are until someone tells them to get moving.
"you might want to get out, your house is on fire"
--"no it's not"
"yes, it is see the flames"
--"fire would be terribly inconvient for me, I am just going to sit here, close my eyes, and pretend it's not happening" -
actually it was fashionsense from JL who organized the public one, there were 2 other groups to sucessfully pull it off privately on this server as well.

waitaminute, thats not really someones child ?

Quote:it's funny I have a bunch of rollie-pollie "I'm so gamer" WoW fools I work with, I watch these guys get fatter and fatter by the minute. Every day they tell me "aw man I wish I could say no to all the stuff you say no to, you always bring in such good food but I dont have time to make something like that". My diner last night was some immitation lobster bits and some asparagus, cooking a microwave bag of vegis and the lobster took 6 minutes, while I took care of the baby. It takes 10-20 minutes of thier break time to run down to the pizza place and buy themselves 2 slices and a soda. Cost of my meal about $5, cost of thiers $10, 6 minutes vs 10 minutes, and about 200 calories (no carbs or fat) to thier 600 or so calories with a ton of fat and carbs. Boxxy's right it's just a choice to be lazy.

the guy has 2 kids, a 9 year old daughter and an 11 year old boy. I regularly give the kids my weekly comics and they color me pictures that I hang at my desk. The guy walks around with a shirt 3 sizes too small with his gut hanging out the bottom and looks dirt poor, and he falls asleep at work. To think some creep would bring 2 kids around with them (and they did) while they were up to that kind of behavior makes me want to puke. The cops came to the office and yanked his computer off his desk, he was always on craigs list and answering email, talking on his cell phone as well, no wonder he didn't want people to see his monitor. bleh.
