I remember soloing AVs like Vandal, back before critical hits, when teams would only take a scrapper as a last resort because scrappers were "teh gimp" since nobody knew how to play one. Of course, I also remember the whines scrappers had back then...

Now if we could only get a list of semi-permanent channels to join...

Brickstown:

Ziggurat -Ziggurats were a form of temple common to the Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians. See here for more

The Crescent- perhaps the fertile crescent, what the area between the tigris and euphrates river is known as.

Mashu Bridge- Perhaps something relating to this "everything old Gilgamesh went searching for in his famous trek to the lost "City of the Gods" to search the tunnels beneath "Mt. Mashu" in the desert lands."

Seven Gates:

Babylon: Ishtar's Descent


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ishtar's Descent
Ishtar thinks to go into the Place of Darkness in search of her beloved spouse Tammuz. Arrayed in her magnificent power and splendor she enters the cavern that leads to that realm. The place is surrounded by seven walls and has seven gates and at her demand for entry, the watchman, Nedu, begs leave to consult with his mistress, Irkalla, sister of Ishtar. The mistress of the Place of Darkness bids Nedu to admit Ishtar in accordance with the ancient rites.

At the first gate he removes her splendid crown.
At the second gate he removes her necklace with the eight-rayed star.
At the third gate he removes her bracelets of gold and lapis lazuli.
At the fourth gate he removes her shoes.
At the fifth gate he removes her veil.
At the sixth gate he removes her outer robe.
At the seventh gate he removes her garment.

wow, and here i was expecting a real inside joke like "Kill skuls" or "stop the jerk hacking"

Personally, I love the funny/sarcastic/cynical seeming error messages like these. They're fun to run across.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ditto, but it seems that there are to many hypersensitive people out there who can't take a joke.

Now, I'm going to have to add myself as a friend just to get a screenshot of that message.

Yes, there's a mission difficulty slider now to provide a challenge to those of us who want more than your average gamer. But there's also a manual that states 3 even con minions per hero and that bosses are not to be trifled with. Too bad they're still trying to work this into our reality.

You wouldn't want them to get sued for falsely advertising a product or anything would you?

Awesome information to know. I never knew that those were players in there, I only recognized that they were costumes available in the game. Thanks for this information!

I am in love with my warshade. It's so much fun. It's got a little bit of every power from each archtype, making it so much more versatile. I'm also enjoying going out with the lower levels and still being afforded the respect of having earned level 50.

Striga is awesome! I just wish Spacekitten had a chance to enjoy it and the missions there as I was leveling her. No biggie though, there'll be a lovely little alien kicking butt there soon enough.

And the best part? It's still a free update. The Devs, once again, have raised the bar as to what a great MMORPG is.

How can anyone say they don't play?

I mean, think about it, if you made a game, especially an MMORPG, would you not play?

Of course they're going to play. They're going to laugh at us for not recognizing them because they were incognito when we said "Teh D3Vs R ID10Ts!!!1!1" in front of them.

They're going to build great characters and slip them in every now and then so we can go oooh and aaaah and perhaps throw in that power we used to think wasn't good, and spread the word too.

And they're going to sit and chat with people. You know, those odd tells you get every once in a while asking you how do you like phase shift, or I want to remake a character, which would you suggest? Just so they can figure out what's needing fixes, because they don't want their masterpiece to be flawed.

They're also going to sit around and watch, never doing anything to let others know they're there. We all assume they do it whenever we do hammy raids. What's to say they're not watching us whenever we take on that archvillian, or do that 10 minute timed mission?

Of course they're going to do these things. Want proof? Think of what you'd do. The devs ARE people you know. They want to see their game at work and they want it to succeed.

Anyway, point is, no warning, yet a named boss that all of a sudden becomes yet another boss to handle.

Statesman already posted that they're working on an interface to show when bosses show up and if a mission is supposed to be soloable or not.

As for dying to a boss, that's supposed to happen. Just because it isn't as common as you would expect from reading the manual doesn't mean bosses aren't meant to be hard. I for one, have always wanted things to be tougher. We're slowly getting there, now I can have a challenge.

You may have played with one of us already and not known it.

I seriously hope I haven't played with a GM/Dev...

Now I know they know who I am, as they've talked with an SG friend of mine a long time ago and mentioned that he grouped with me a lot...

But if any of ya ever did group with me... I swear that wasn't me at the keyboard at that time, at least not a sober and well rested me. :P

How about:

1- Feign death (would only work if it'd change the name to orange too). This would be the ultimate way to lure in would be do gooders

2- Air Punching. A much better taunt that what we've got available as heroes.

3- The Hot Touch- Licking a finger, touching it to your hip, and saying something along the lines of "Oooh I'm hot!"

4- A seductive pose - Quite a few villians try to lure the opposite sex into being put at a disadvantage

5- The distraction - Simply pointing into the air and yelling "Look flying dead bird!"

Boss hit points went up 40%

Boss regen went up, presumably 40%

Boss damage went up 40%. Why? Apparantly, hit points tie directly into mob damage.

This is bad for soloers and large groups. Why do this? Has anyone seen a Red Name explain the reasoning? Perhaps that will occur in their new dev section.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because I'm sure it's intended that I solo 2 or more purple con bosses...

I agree. We shouldn't be able to take on multiple bosses. Just one boss should be more than agreeable. Then again, this is only if we're following the 3 white con minions per hero ideal.

2. After analysis, Scrappers CAN NOT reach the same levels of resistance as a Tank. Regeneration, though, is a small concern.

Woohoo I have not been ignored!

How far do you want them walking?

Do you want them materializing as if coming out of the portal, or do you just want a view of them walking forward?

Where should the camera be? Side, front, or back view?

Simple enough, answer those questions to me in a PM, and I'll get back to you on it in the morning (noonish actually), as I'm about to log off now and get some sleep.

Haven't heard of anyone getting the rikti badge yet.

On another note, is the Hydra D Multidimensional badge actually in the game? I've got the mish right now (I assume it's the mish) but can't find it after standing everywhere.

Good question... what about the guides in the faq/guides forum? Some of those are pretty nice, but don't get much in the way of replies anymore.

Please make it after the start of July, as my bosses won't let me go until after then

Dude, it needs to come out AFTER the video contest is done (I'm too busy creating to play at the moment).

Do something like the following for running it from test:


D:\COH\CohUpdater.exe -test -demoplay "D:\COH\CohTest\client_demos\demo.cohdemo"

of course changed to your directories.

I just hate how it's going to be done in the next few days.

I'd much prefer to be playing, and am too busy with my videos at the moment. Couldn't it wait until after the contest? That'd make Spacekitten happy.
