Pure GOLD.
I can honestly say that is the wittiest, funniest thing I've read on these forums. Torak my good man, you are a king.

I'm busy Kheldianing away here with my new Peacbringer. He may not be the strongest thing in the game, but he's certainly the coolest.
I hereby christen Radiant Strike "Best looking power of the year".

The Kheldians are fantastic work all the way through, match that with the superb 5th/Council war, the new zone Striga Isle and a series of events coming (both permanent and temporary) and you have a recipe for fantasticness.

Have some Kudos!

I predict, something watery.

A bit off the topic, Cuppa now that you are using a kitty avatar…does this mean you are now part of the ASQ (Ask a Stupid Question) Empire, and if so are you now, or have you ever been aligned the Moogle faction?

Inquiring minds want to know

[/ QUOTE ]

Cuppa's first Cuppa-Avatar was actually a Moogle. True story.

Fantastic! This is a great idea guys... Although, why only a corner? Surely you can wrangle yourselves a palace or some sort of castle?

I remember where this came from and the furor it aroused. Nice to see a former Tazooner here.

[/ QUOTE ]

SHHHH! It's a secret!

I've had a few PMs from other people who got it as well, we considered resposting the original thread, but I guess it got cleared out. Tragic really, Cobrettis shall live on in our memory forever!

Alright, im unclear about this arena thing. I know that it's going to be a pvp room or whatever, but im not sure how it's going to work. Am i going to be able to fly up above a tanker and pelt him from above with ranged attacks? wouldn't that be a little cheap? and will there be something like team fighting? plz try to reply before my computer class is over

Nobody knows.

Except the Devs.

I just knew there'd be people getting upset thanks to that interview. Coises!

[ QUOTE ]
This thread is great and all, but what happened to the Arena?
Seriously.

Statesman may be coy about the Issue 3 remarks (that he never made), but he did say in an interview that it would be in before CoV. It's available from the old news/press releases, but I don't want to search for it. My thread on the Arena went away with the usual 2-week purge.

Now, should Cryptic be held to a statement made to a "journalist" about the game? No, absolutely not.
On the other hand, when the game's been out for 8 months and we still haven't heard anything on the arena, it might be a good idea to put something out there in the official forums. The usual cryptic remarks would be fine. Something to debate ad nauseum.

[/ QUOTE ]

Errr... maybe I'm being stupid, but surely the fact that an Arena is being built IN THE GAME is pretty big proof that its being worked on?
Did you misread the first post or something?

Is CoV going to be released in Europe at the same time as in America?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes

Hurrah for Bridger! Whoooo!

nice to know

Try reading the rest of the thread. In paticular the Dev post.

Seriously, someone should change the title of this thread...

Skills are City of Heroes' answer to the ubiquitous MMO crafting system - except they're totally different. Characters will be able to specialize in one of four different skill trees: Detective, Science, Communication, and Scholarship. They can further specialize in various areas of expertise, such as Forensics or Security for the Detective tree. Skills are level-independent and wholly optional; your character will be able to interact with myriad objects during the game, at which point he, (Ed. note: or she ), can attempt a series of skill checks. Success brings new objectives or perhaps some extra experiance. For example, succeeding at a Security check in a bomb infested building might reveal the explosives on the mission map.



Skills are learned and improved by studying at universities throughout Paragon City. You'll earn temporary, expendable skill boosts during missions; these are somewhat similar to inspirations but can also be converted into wisdom, which is used to add permanent skill boosts at the aformentioned universities. As with enhancements, you'll find generic skill improvements as well as stronger, more focused upgrades alon the lines of dual- and single- origin enhancements. The only skill you'll need now, though, is the patience to hold out for all this good stuff.

That's what we know officially, if anyone's interested.

I heard they were the PvP arena and they were gonna build alittle more each time in each issue until CoV comes out and then they will be complete.

[/ QUOTE ]

PvP Arenas will be complete before CoV is finished.

Where did you read this? It seems unlikely to me, as an above poster says, they'll have to Beta test it for different languages as they did with CoH.

Not just PI, they'e in GC and Talos, as well as a few other places.

Balls, I hadn't thought of that... I guess I'll have to import again if t does.
Harumph.

Awesome, that just happens to be my BIRTHDAY!

[/ QUOTE ]

Check the Dev Digest, it's unlikely to actually be released then.
Maybe someone should change the title of the thread?

Holy crapola, what's that around his waist?... Is that... a UTILITY BELT?!

You're saying the new Epic AT requires a hero with an entirely yellow costume?

[ QUOTE ]
Worst. Interview. Ever.

Cryptic really needs to proof read these things before letting someone post them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or hire an army of Ninja-Hacker-Killers to eliminate those who post them.

If you guys are looking for recruits I'm always available... I even have my own Ninja mask!

Thanks for clearing that up Stateso.

So we're all agreed this is bull-poop then?

[ QUOTE ]
Same here. What's an "Ancillary" Power?

[/ QUOTE ]

Good point... it seems a little strange.

I read that article. There is an error:

"First off, the 5th Element will be going away..."

All I've got to say is, "MOOLTIPASS!!!"

Hah!
