YAY I'M ME \0/


name remains

Peek a boo

My arc is in my sig, feel free to try it if like

Is nice to have the forums back, the colours look quite pleaseing on the eye, far better then the old US ones, maybe not as nice as the EU ones where, but is a diffrent engine and im sure will be fab. My first sorta look over them is that ther is way to much to read now and that i have a lot of catching up to do. As we are now mixed with the US the posts and threads have all multiplyed big time from our small quaint EU forum i'm so used to reading.

But this is nice as finally be able to commit on posts that we were not able to before and hopefully express our views in amoung the wonderfull COH community, i hpe that the community feel will grow now with the EU + US all mixing thier opions and the devs will be able to digest the EU views in amoung with the US counterparts.

Look forward to reading the posts and trying to take it all in as its alot more overwhelming now in this big ocean of posts compared to our smaller EU pond of posts we are so accustomed to


Have now been on the new forums for a good 50 mins or so, at times they seem to come to a complete standstill, maybe its just the sheer amount of users now on them, but before could click (eu old forums) a link and would appear on screen, now it sometimes freezes and then dont respond. Sexy jays costume request thread seemed to struggle to open, maybe as so many posts on it. Guess as its new forum it maybe still needs a bit of optimization and tweaking to make it fast as the old forums used to be for viewing

I was out this weekend, other wise id have been working my Defiant characters. It was a pity x2 XP was on a weekend where i wasnt going to be in, or have any access to COH


Normally the x2 XP brings plenty teaming accross the servers. Sorry to hear that Defiant was quieter then normal for this x2 XP event.

Think the colours of this new board are quite nice to look at , the font aint to bad to read. But looks like i may miss seeing all the sections on screen at once. Looks like they have stuck them in sub directorys. Which is all well and good but till get to know where things are its not as straight forward to see which threads have had new posts, maybe just need to get uesd to looking for the new post thread icons

I guess in time we will adapt to the new look



Ahh just noticed handy expanded thread linkie above, much handier

Hiya all , nice to be able to post on the joint community forums

If you ever need to get a lowby to a tailor and don't have Pocket D VIP access then the tailor in Independence Port can often be easier to get to than the one in Steel. The IP icon is near the Kings Row gate and usually there's only 1 or 2 Family spawn to avoid.

was gonna post this to, as i find it lot easier to get to IP icon then the one in steel, at low level

I had just come out of a mission in Atlas and heard there was cozzie compo , not entered into one of these for a while so was good to give it ago. Unfortuanlty i never won any of the prize inf, but wasn't to worried it was just good fun to see, and participate in something you dont see very often nowadays. A costume competion.

There needs to be an incentive to improve your play style and debt worked well. If you where a permanant faceplanter then debt should have encouraged you to not faceplant as much, if you didnt want it. then try not to die or over aggro, know your limits and run if need be.

Death in COx has no meaning any more there is no fear in perishing. There needs to be a penatly in dying, If have debt its normally cleared in 2- 3mobs now, it comes and goes so quick no one even notices it anymore

When first started debt made me not want to die, but now i dont care. I die and i know my debt be gone in a few kills.

So is no fear of debt any more or shouldnt be. But this is wrong, folks should be afriad to faceplant and the penatly should be servere enough to encourage folks to try and make then not die adn to improve thier staying alive skills.

The game is a bit to watered down in many areas. debt included

Aye same on villains i work my way through my contacts and avoid MA. I always seem to find a contact villian side where i cant remember doing thier arc on any of my other chars. Other then kalinda

I still try and play old school. MA hasn't seen me in a while

[/ QUOTE ]

Me too

[/ QUOTE ]

Im old skool to, have made my arc and just left the MA alone ever since.

Enjoy working my way through Hollows/Striga etc.

I like my nvidia card but since i got an upgraded pc, it cane with Vista on Vista on i had all sorts of probs with COH, Nvidia / Vista. Was only by rolling back my drivers and messing about with hot fixes have i got CoH stable again, bad thing is i cant play AoC now as looking for newer drivers and soon as i put the newer drivers on CoH crashes , white screen randomly

I reckon if i still had XP on machine prob be okay for using my Nvidia with more upto date drivers.

And is only COH i have had this prob on, maybe the new effects adn the like will take be more compatible with Vista/ Nvidia and ill then update my driver again when compatabilty issues are resolved. Paragaon may have given up trying to find a solution for the problem, and shifted over to ati and wash thier hands of the nvidia/vista issue taht so many have experianced.

that part confusing me to as says jump directly between Archetype , which makes me think you can change from blaster to say a tank , then to a scrapper and the like ??

Or is it me just misreading it as AT to me is Tank, scrapper, Blaster, defender etc etc...

I actually really like gale. I know im one of the few people who actually think knockback is cool [hehe thats right you hellions! Try and get close!!! mwahahahaha] but i wouldnt want to see it changed.

IMO it fits perfectly into the set. Keep it as the tier 1 imo.

With every useless power comes a great set bonus.

[/ QUOTE ]


Im of much the same though gale is a fab little power has its uses , and knockback also has some good uses.Granted you ahve to sorta think before you use gale as if lot of meele in your team, they dont want to be chasing mobs around, but if it used against a wall , then gale can be very good power at keep mobs out of the fight


And you should go to PP with a high level char and use gale on the skulls and hellions its quite amusing

Im often in Striga in my 20s as well, like to get my temps from there, never know when will need wedding band or warwolves

Congrats

Yip The Echelon are still very active and I enjoy teaming with them.

Ill be certainly trying to get badges for some of my chars, even when one is triggered now im in the zone looking for teams or making ateam to get the bombs, and rikiti. Also same on zombies i often try and get some of the badge credits on some of my characters

be nice if another invasion event of some sort happened from time to time as well , maybe a diffrent faction in the game, is plenty mobs they could have doing spontaionus attacks on zones

Now, about Perez park...

Perez is fine, is nice to get lost in the maze from time to time, i'd rather see Boomtown or Dark Astoria get some attention before Perez Park does

why do you ever need a jetpack when you level in MA only!?

why would you want to get to the Hollows when the MA is just next door?!

:S

[/ QUOTE ]

I dont level in the MA and never will, id rather experiance the getting about in a big city and feel as tho im actually making my way to the scene of the crime. MA is of no interest to me.

And the hollows is ideal for those who do like to go places for missions in hte low levels. used to be a verypopular place the MA seems to have made it a ghostzone, empty. For us older plyers the Hollows has lot of memories.

The MA wont give you memories its a sorta virtual mission creator no sorta immersion, traveling from zone to zone gives immersion of you traveling through the city.

Ahh the Hollows a zone that used to be feared by so many, and to many others taught them all about agro ranges of mobs.

I do miss the buzz in the hollows as well, used to be a thriving zone, folks being buffed by Aerie and taxibots operating there to help all the new players out.

Many a death or adventure ive had in my early days ofthe Hollows, since the zone has been revamped its lost alot of its danger element to entice folks into it and not to fear the palce. War witch and co have done a nice job making it more player friendly to the new player. Even put a hospital in there to.

But as you say the MA seems to have drawn all the new players in and most of the fun zones like Hollows all neglected once more.

Normally when i make a newtoon ill work my way through Wincotts arc, then on to Kings Row to start on my contacts there and also pick up the jetpack from the Scanner missions, even getting the Jetpack should entice folks back to the Hollows as makes getting to the bottom of the zone so easy for them hard to reach missions spots we used to have, which i think have all been made more accessable with the zone revamp.

I miss them days of experianceing the true hollows

Cel shading?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hope not, i like the way the cox characters adn enviroments look at the moment, fair enough id like animated faces, hair like many would but id not like to see any changes like cel shading. Unless it can be toggled on/off for those that may like that look.
