Scarlet Shocker

Defeat the coming storm, make peace with the Rikti, put nemesis to bed, then discover a bigger foe that comes from out of the blue and fights to stalemate - trapping us in our own dimension but they are unable to break in. So effectively, Paragon and surrouding area becomes a little homogeneous bubble... "our work here is done, let's keep it this way" fade to black

I've tried to use Demorecord to save some of my favourite toons for posterity (and maybe make a movie or two) but I just can't make it work

I've followed the instructions in the ParagonWiki to create a shortcut for the client launcher and give it a tag at the end of the target, and I've even trued using Sloth's CoHdemolauncher2 but nothing seems to work

I'd be really grateful for any help - I'm running Win7 and a GTX460 with 8 gigs of ram so should be ok - but this one has me confuzzled

Controllers. I really found them to be exciting, original and really really versatile. A troller doesn't necessarily need good damage but I've rarely found any that are bad to play or difficult to keep going under tough circumstances. Even better, it's always been really great to put together odd mix trollers just to be different from the ubiquitous fire-kin/rads. My Mind/Storm was an accidental revelation.

Scarlet Shocker. All Electric Blaster. She was my first (well technically 2nd toon) but she's the one I've had the biggest emotional connection to in game. In many ways, being all electric she was well under-powered, even moreso when electric proliferated. But she wasn't ever meant to be Uber. I always saw her as trying to fight the good fight with a limited arsenal and struggle was the name of the game for her.

Possibly Tank (surprisingly as I only have one) but I do still enjoy playing my one and only 50. I always struggled with melee toons, even after getting a brute to 50, and scrappers never seemed to work for me. Run around chasing targets to find that somebody's blasted them and knocked them out from under... but whereas Scrappers in my limited experience are squishy, and brutes under-powered, my tank can soak up a lot of damaged and still dent most things. If not a tank my SoA - but I enjoyed him from day one so by definition doesn't count.

I might give this a try - F2P sounds like we can get a good flavour for it to see if it's worth the sub

Those aren't breasts by the way. The main plot of that game seems to involve ninja zeppelins stabbing young women from behind

Looks like the news hasn't gone down so well

However hard I've looked, I can't see anything in those numbers that says there's a hope in hell for CoH to get rescued. In fact it seems to inidcate that even the Save CoH campaign's been nothing but a slight annoyance.

Well said!

maybe some good news but not terribly immediate!

I often wondered if it was simply a case of making it a temp power because that was the easiest. What backs that up in many ways is the fact that the whole Powers UI had devolved into a right mess over the years and was in dire dire need of a clean up and never got it - and there were several calls for it. So either the Devs didn't see it as a priority (unlikely) or it was a bigger job to fix than any potential benefit.

I'd love to get an official word though just... I dunno. It's something that's always bugged me.

As for the disk, I would have loved to be able to use a similar delivery system for MM upgrades and placing of thinks like land mines and poison traps. Target a patch of ground and throw them there.

Ok out of all the revelatory stuff coming out there are two (not terribly) critical questions that have bugged me for a while and I'd really love to get answers to them.

1. Why was the Ouroboros Portal a Temp Power? I know I've asked this before but it struck me that there's an implication that somehow, Ouroboros was going away some time. In one view, that makes perfect sense. Once the Coming Storm had been dealt with Silos had no need to keep the floating palace - but of course it would have removed a very convenient travel power, and a place to buy/sell cool stuff.
2. Flying Disc: Was this a test of a new tech? What was the likely outcome going to be? New powers? It seemed to be a lot of work for a toy (but fun to use when queued for Trials) Where were the Devs hoping to go with that?

That's it.

Thanks for the smile

Star Wars IV was just a rip of every conceivable movie genre, from westerns, to Warplane movies, to Sci-Fi to gangsters, swashbuckling etcetc all thrown together into a big melting pot and a massive budget. It wasn't very original, and not very good, just glossy.

From there on it went downhill.

Ok so those of you know me may be aware that amongst other things I do, I'm an Internet DJ. There... I said it.

I spend much of my time spinning cool tunes in virtual environments such as Second Life and tonight, since we have a special occasion to dress up, and there are now officially 30 days to go till lights out, I thought I'd spin a superheroic set to celebrate this great game, both in Second Life and in game.

So from 9-11pm GMT (2-4pm Pacific, 5-7pm Eastern) I shall be entertaining you with a musical journey. We'll have some eclectic grooves, some jazzy vibes, the odd theme tune and some downright strang - plus a bit of soul, funk and even rock. Something for everyone and a party from all and even some music from the game itself.

You're all invited, and I'll be blasting the tunes out from Atlas on Defiant Server and in Second Life so wherever you fancy joining us you're welcome. (If you care to join us in SL you can find us at this location: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlif...sland/91/94/29 - superhero costumes encouraged, but not mandatory - look for a cyborg DJ called Riff)

See you then I hope and tune in here: http://66.45.227.195:8542/ and let's celebrate over 8 fantastic years with two hours of great tunage!

Riff aka Scarlet Shocker
