I say: why not?!

If respecs are so freely available anyway then it wont make a difference if we remove the limit.

They are in place to improve a build which in turn improves the players enjoyment in the game. Perhaps a better way to do this(as it mainly effects veteran toons) would be for the limit to reset to 0 after X amount of patrol hours.

Civil services need a huge upgrade, methinks...
Y'know, OT but hey, things Id love to see if CoX ever got an engine update that could handle it;
Realistic traffic and pedestrians.
Cop cars heading to emergencies
Fire Engines/Ambulances, etc.

Y'know, proper city life. Suggested before, I know, so back OT.

More mission variety is good. /Signed there, certainly.

Wouldn't it be good if we could follow cop cars with their sirens blazing, to find we end up at the location of a 'hidden' mission (well, obviously the police know where it is). The police car could appear as a blip on our map that we follow maybe, instead of having a mission marker pop up...

It'd also be good for roleplayers perhaps.. You're stood there talking and a police car goes blazing past.. quick everyone, follow that car! Someone somewhere is in trouble and they need our help...

I love this! Oh look! It's a domestic - what's that ma'am? Your husband is throwing plates around the kitchen and shouting? BLAM! Now he's dead, you'll have no more trouble from him! It's all in a day's work when you're protecting the innocents of Paragon.

Well...

This is an idea I've actually discussed with Kallandra.

You hear a siren...this time it's police car followed by an assortment of Swat vans and emergency services.

You follow them.

and get to a spot full of emergency vehicles...swat vans..and cop cars formed in what looks like a rather rough barricade around the area.

Swat team members line the roof tops.....paramedics run around trying to calm and heal anyone that looks like they need it....the fire service boys are over by various fire hydrants trying to make the darn things work.

Put it simply...organized chaos.

Slap bang in the middle of all this going on is the reason why everyone is here, one single generic AV ( choose a villain or hero from any bank mission ) has decided he/she would like to have a little fun.....with who ever comes anywhere near him.

So with the help of the various emergency services and some friends you subdue him and put him back from where ever he busted out from or came from in the first place.

Badges would off course be gained.

Kallandra and myself came up with a few.

Ambulance chaser.

Swat member.

Human barricade.

Negotiator

Too name but a few.

I don't care who's taking credit, but this idea is great!

You can't have Negotiator, though : http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Negotiator

[/ QUOTE ]

Well ok Negotiators taken ... forgot about that, but the badge names arent important.....well one is "Ambulance Chaser" we aren't moving at all on that one :P

[/ QUOTE ]

Also loving this idea! This would transform the atmosphere of any zone for the better. It could be anything, from a small instanced mission just like side missions in bank job missions, to a full on AV/GM creating havoc for all heroes in the area to take down. Definitely /signed

I like the idea of having wheelchairs/disabled people in the game however the trick is finding the correct way to implement it.

One way could be to(rarely) give civilians wheelchairs. They don't use powers or jump.

An added feature would be that (just like the hollows mission curing the Lost) you can use any heal power on a disabled civilian(either walking stick/bandages/wheelchair) and they would then walk normally and perhaps thank the player. help 100 civilians and get a badge

nice work Red!

Thank you! I think all of your art is very very good.

Inspired by the awesome art from these forums I decided it was time I had a go

I sketched him as a guide first. Then scanned the sketch and completed the whole image digitally in Corel PSP with a Tablet(first time using).

This is my first attempt at anything like this. I got a lot of experience from doing it, especially the line art. I will possibly draw more heroes soon. What do you think?

His powers are spine/regen.

Hope you like it!

Never seen so many archers in the same CoH place!

[/ QUOTE ]
Ditto! Thanks to everyone who entered and to all of the members of TWANG for judging. It was great fun!

The top prize(50 mil) went to Miss Tell by majority vote from the contestants: Miss Tell

Also congratz to the 5 other winners who walked away with a respectable 20mil each.

Next up, fire/kin comp?

Can characters with the longbow temporary weapon apply?

[/ QUOTE ]

Good question GrinningSpade. The requirements are the same as if you wanted to join the Archers Channel or Archers SG. Everyone must have an archery set from either the Blaster primary, Controller secondary, or the Defender Primary. This means that a temporary power does not qualify.

Just a reminder that this will happen tonight(8:00 GMT, 6 hours time).
If you have not made an archer yet then now is the time

Will this be a straight forward cossie contest or will it be judged on more than just cosmestics? For example:

Name
Title
Profile/backstory

Animations or powers allowed to be used to create more effect to our characters?

[/ QUOTE ]

In short: Yes. Although the main focus will be on the costume design all of the features that you mentioned plus for example how well the bow fits with your design will be looked at. Auras, powers and emotes should all be fine with in reason - if someone is clearly spamming powers they will stand less of a chance at winning.

We have arranged multiple judges from TWANG who will pick out their favorite. This should provide a wide range of winners from the amazingly unique to the excellently traditional.

We will also be deciding the overall winner in an unconventional way, true to TWANG's style.

Exactly one week from now at 8pm GMT, on Saturday 7th February, TWANG(The Wonderful Archers Network Group) will be hosting a small competition in Atlas Park (under the globe) on Union. 6 prizes with a total of over 120,000,000 influence will be awarded to the best looking Archers. No minimum level required so anyone can enter with an Archer(this includes archery power sets from Blasters, Controllers and Defenders).

TWANG is a newly formed Super Group on Union. Founded by the same great members of the Archers Channel.
Anyone is welcome to join both the Archers Channel and the TWANG SG. We have optional Archer Teams on Wednesdays.


How many archers can unite together?
