  1. OmnipotentMerlin, can you provide the page where they said this.
  2. Smite... read the whole thing...

    Post-GR we could have this (and what I am afraid of)

    Red Side
    Villain= Party A
    Vigilante+ Party A1

    Blue Side
    Hero=Party B
    Rogue=Part B1

    Teaming Parameters:

    Blue side
    A+A= BLUESIDE
    A+A1=BLUESIDE
    A+A1+B+B1= COOP ZONE

    Red Side
    B+B=REDSIDE
    B+B1=REDSIDE
    B+B1+A+A1= COOP ZONE

    I don't see this happening:
    A+A1=BLUESIDE
    B+B1=REDSIDE
    A+A1+B+B1= COOP ZONE
    B+B1+A+A1= COOP ZONE

It would also open up the "So, wait, GR penalizes you for owing it since you can't team with these other people?" can of worms.
    I see this happening. We have three teaming pools ( 1 red, 1 blue and coop) and made it so that people on the same side of the game can team with anyone that aligns themselves with that side. In the coop zones you can mix the teams.

    Let me shorthand this:

    Red side only :Party A
    Blue side only :Party B

    As the game is pre-GR we can do:

    A+A= REDSIDE
    B+B= BLUESIDE
    A+B= COOP ZONE

    Post-GR we could have this (and what I am afraid of)

    Red Side
    Villain= Party A
    Vigilante+ Party A1

    Blue Side
    Hero=Party B
    Rogue=Part B1

    Teaming Parameters:

    Blue side
    A+A= REDSIDE
    A+A1=REDSIDE
    A+A1+B+B1= COOP ZONE

    Red Side
    B+B=BLUESIDE
    B+B1=BLUESIDE
    B+B1+A+A1= COOP ZONE

    I don't see this happening:
    A+A1= REDSIDE
    B+B1=BLUESIDE
    A+A1+B+B1= COOP ZONE
    B+B1+A+A1= COOP ZONE

    Since they are creating a new alignment, there will be four teaming pools and for most part the game has always had three teaming possibilities but now that there is GR we have 4 of them. If the devs wanted to they could make it so that to team with a member of the new alignment you have to have GR...didn't they do this with CoV and PD? I remember you having to have both games to play in PD with a villain.
  4. I am not even remotely interested as of late with the GR expansion...not enough news for me to bite into. You ever been to a pizzeria and you had a craving for a gyro but you saw that pathetic spinning piece of lamb that had no flesh on it... that's what I see when I think of GR...

    When we get some game details, I would start looking. The devs can start with the simple question like " Will I be able to play with Rogues/Vigilantes in PC/RI even if I don't have the expansion?" For me this is a question that has not been asked or answered... I want to know if I can skip this expansion but still be on a team that has a rogue, because frankly I am not interested in GR.

    Anyway, see you then!

    Better not be more MA/AE related horn tooting...I am sick of MA
  6. Yay!! Finally some east coast love... but sadly they mentioned it so late all tickets were sold out. If they give out some super awesome code I will be miffed...
  7. Second week of Feburay... no info on GR and no big "We're going to PAX-East, here is the official info on GR" announcement yet...come on Marketing Dept, Let the Devs blab about what they've been working on!

    We need some new info so I an allocate funds and time to GR... with the current meat on this bone I am not going to bite! 2 powersets that I don't want and a graphics update that I can't afford do not make me want to run out and get this...
  8. Shadow Wail

    New Powerset?

    I just want Dark Control Dominator or a Elec Control Dominator...I want them to be Dom only tho, none of this shared powers!
  9. I would love the game even more if the game lore around Atlantis would revolve around the Primordial Coralax? As for the zone design, Atlantis can be one large island with small floating islands in a spiral.

    The Devs could add a Coralax AV or EB and maybe a Atlantis SF...:rool::
  10. Shadow Wail

    Not impressed

    Go on to the main site for the game and see if you can download the client directly from the website.

    I had issues with this game and it's install when I first got it. I decided to stick around and actually play the game to see if it was worth my time...that was 6 years ago
  11. SVAG is still looking for members!

    S.V.A.G. stands for "Super Villain Assault Group" and our motto is " We Take On What You Cannot". The sole purpose of SVAG at the momnent is a storage base, travel depot and an easy Oro interface, we also have a mission computer and we hold SF Saturdays when possible.

    I am the leader of SVAG and have been playing villains since my main hero turned 50. I have been a high member of WDL2 and I have also been a member of Elite Legends, The Blackguards and other SVGs.

    My base serves storage for IO's from level 1-25 and 25-50 in two seperate large workshops. We have a TP to each main zone in the game and we have a Oro Hall for Accolade hunting.

    You can either send me a PVT message here or ingame @Avatar101
  12. Finally Champion gets some Red Name-Love and I have Abnormal Psych till 10pmEST...way to go college!
  13. I loved the juicy information! Not to mention all the GR news that article had! ::End Troll-Patrol::
  14. Well, we might get new flesh into this game with GR...if there is a strong enough marketing/advertising campaign. The Paragon Team will probably miss this year's PAX because it is on the east coast and having them there would be in their best interest since it is at the end of the 1st quarter and by then we will need to get the info required to saturate the media with GR news and build hype and word of mouth.

    As of now I don't think they will send Devs for a weekend to Boston to speak about GR at a convention that plays a perfect platform for mass media release and maybe an open/closed beta of Praetoria as a demo....Do I see this happening..no
  15. Congo-Rats on the promo WW! I remember when I first played City of Heroes and running to the hills of Croatoa to level-up with WW

    As a sole City of Villains player, what will be some villain only changes that you might have in plan?

    -Will the hidden contact system in City of Villains be expanded to include new contacts through badges?

    -While previous lead designers have stated that City of Villains does not need more zones so to avoid the Dark Astoria abyss, will CoV see some villain only zones?

    -Is it possible that in the future we will see Strike Forces for the City of Villains patrons like Ghost Widow, Black Scorpion and the other patrons? CoH gets the Freedom Phalanx Task forces but will we ever get Patron Strike Forces?

    -Can villains get more giant monsters? We only have 5 of them.

    Range and AOEs

    Will this work on my Spines/SR if I slotted a range in Throw Spines? I am thinking that if I add a /Range Set IO from a KD set? Will that extend the range in Ripper?
  17. What is wrong with dreaming of a Praetorian that can use Illusion/Dark Blast?

    Nothing wrong with dreaming about this scenario...At this point I will dream of anything that keeps me entertained with this game.
  18. What if you got to pick in Praetoria to be a member of the loyalist party or the resistance movement but instead had a character creation screen like the one for the custom foes in AE?

    You log on to the game but instead of selecting the hero icon or the villain icon you get the choice resistance and loyalist also. you then select the powers you want based on a selection of archetypical skeletons ( Blaster, Corr, Defender...Etc.) but got free access to those powers like an Illusion/Dark Blast Resistance Dominator or a Ice Melee/WP Loyalist Brute?

    This might be completely wrong but I noticed that if you take certain powers in the power selection screen and look at detailed info, you could see how the values would change when they are on a different power, to the point that there are values for a Ice Melee Brute even though the game does not allow this. This would solve the solution of a Brute not working well with Ice Melee because of Fury; the Brute will not have fury as a copy of the purebred Brute but a hybrid of a Loyalist Brute.

    Just how some powers are not fully customizable inside AE they can be used as a skeleton of the AT based on two factors, Praetoria membership and Primal Earth Membership


    I must admit that some of these features are already in the game, in AE you can select whether to stay true to the ATs or Mix the powers to create a third option.


    Just an observation and hopeful wish...it would be ultimate Powerset proliferation and it is something the devs have insisted to some degree.
  19. ...Pretty, pretty, pretty please...!

    I have no intention of going if the ParagonStudios people wont go and seeing as the Facebook superbus App shows a bus from NYC to Boston for 40 bucks and a hotel ticket costing me 500 for the weekend I want to know if I should go and see the devs for the first time (Yessir I am a Dev-Virgin).

    I also looked online several times and I have not seen anyone present and I am anxious to the point of of despair.
  20. Oh, ok. I was up late when I read it. I still dont feel like SBPV will be that amazing
  21. Recently there was a tweet by Posi that said something about animated tails..if tails become animalted in SUpper Booster V, I might pass unless there is a power like Ninja Run or costumes like the magic set.

    I highly doubt well get anything that breaks the models for the playable characters, I would love more beast like options or fish fins, gills.

    On a side note: What is the Argus face based on?
  22. Shadow Wail

    why no psy ?

    I have to say that the powerset proliferation was just another way of Heroes getting villain only powers and Heroes still kept some of their jewels...give us Psy Blast as an option with Psi Scream, Psy Tornado and Psi Wail or a brolick PSW as our nuke.

    I would rather the devs try and not skimp out on trying to adjust powers to proliferate but make their own new powers. I would kill to see a Toxic Blast/Poison Villain or a Kunai/Shiriken Blast that works as a ninja blast, you can throw regular shurikens, exploding shurikens, smoke bombs, kunai, exploding kunai and other things.

    Why must we get the hero sloppy seconds? I really think that we can do better and hopefully Demon Summoning and Dual Pistols arent the only two sets that are new.

    Well I am guessing that's GR you're also grouping here? Even if GR is just two powersets that I have no interest in and a wagging tail it is still too much for that price.

    On a side note...we better be getting some REAL info bout GR... if people have not niticed were in Q1 of 2010...
  24. If I have to pay $10.00 for wagging tails, I'll be pissed!
  25. when are they going to make another Temp Power a Vet Reward?
