Steelclaw

I honestly think what I'm most excited about is the fact that this will provide CoH with a shelf presence after so long...

I would love to see an influx of new players... that's what I'm hyped for.

As I have mentioned a time or twelve here on the forums… I tend to delete all my characters and start over every six to 12 months or so. This occurs when the game introduces a new rule or the like that messes with my tournament scoring system and so I have to scrap it and start over with all-new characters.

Needless to say, Going Rogue has introduced such a situation and I am in the process of deleting and recreating once more.

Normally I simply create new characters and have them re-join the same Super/Villain Group, keeping the same base and just continuing to live there and work on it. However, THIS time I have decided to wipe the slate completely clean and axe my existing bases as well.

Today I was in the process of selling off all my enhancements, salvage and so on, server-by-server, with a pesky voice in my ear chanting “Can I have your stuuuuuuuffff…. Can I have your stuuuuuuffffff…”

It gave me an idea… Rather than try to sell off everything one at a time… why not offer it to anyone interested here in the forums? All my Bases were My-Characters-Only, so I really don’t have any on-line friends to give or leave them to. Sooooo… Let the Auction begin!

Okay, so here’s the deal:

1) Full Disclosure: I have listed all the pertinent information about each Group below. Unfortunately, I didn’t think of this until I’d already cleaned out the Loot from most of them. All items in the base are listed and included as part of the deal.

2)This Is Not A Yard Sale: I am offering these all as Package Deals. So, if you see one Set Enhancement listed that you REALLY want… sorry… it’s all or nothing. This is not to be mean to anyone but rather to be fair to the eventual owner so they get everything they bid on; which isn’t to say you can’t bug the final owner for that one item.

3)How The Deal Is Closed: When a winner is determined for each Base, I will meet them on the appropriate server. I will invite them to join the SG/VG then let them examine the base to make sure they are getting everything I advertised. Once they are satisfied they can pay their bid amount and I will quit the SG so they are sole-proprietor.

4) The Finish Line: The bidding on each Base closes officially at 6 pm Eastern Time Saturday, August 14th, 2010. Until that time I will attempt to post the current high bidders for each to keep things slightly more organized. I will announce the winners after the close and send them PMs to arrange meeting times to hand over the goods.

5) In the Event of Egg-On-Face: Should no one bid anything on an SG by the time the Close occurs I will simply delete the base. If no one bids anything on any of the bases then I will sigh, delete all the bases and go write joke lists to console myself.

None of the bases are decorated. They are strictly utilitarian as far as that goes. These bases would be good for someone who wants to have a “my characters ONLY” base of their own and want the jump-start so they don’t have to slog through gobs of prestige earning to get a few basic rooms and items. The ones that still have loot may be of interest to someone who wants to bid low and then has the patience to sell off all the enhancements etc for profit.

In any case… here’s the goods:

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention! ALL enhancements listed below are Invention Origin only. I sell all DO's and SO's and never use 'em.

EDIT 2: All bids should be influence/infamy/inf... I can just email it to my new characters... heh.

Yeeeeeah.... umm... in honor of Going Rogue... and the ... er... changes involved in it...

::sighs::

I'm deleting all my characters again.

And no, you can't have all my stuff... I'm selling it all.

Let's see... a week until Going Rogue goes live... hmmm... yeah... I think I can get all my spreadsheets revamped and ready to go by then.

How do I enjoy City of Heroes?

... with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

I feel your pain... When the game comes out with a new feature that makes me consider changing the rules of the way *I* play the game in a major way... I delete my characters too..


All of them...


No matter how high a level they are...


The worst I've been hit by this was 32 characters over 10 servers ranging from 10th to 50th level.

As you all know, Going Rogue is just around the corner and with it the upcoming Market Merge.

We here at Steelcla... er... Paragon Studios are always interested in making your City of Heroes experience more immersive and, following this desire, we will be instituting a new "reality initiative" in upcoming Issue releases.

As most of you know, the fictional Paragon City is located in the real-world state of Rhode Island. It has come to the attention of one of our Development team during a six hour lay-over in one of the lovely Rhode Island airports that the state has a 7% sales tax.

With the market merge all Paragon City Wentworth establishments will be charging an additional 7% to all transactions to meet this sales tax requirement. We understand that this may seem unfair to you, but please rest assured that these funds shall be allocated to the restoration of Faultline, Boomtown and other disaster areas within the Paragon borders.

As the Rogue Isles are NOT within the Rhode Island borders, and seeing that they incorporate the Black Market anyway, they shall not be affected by this change.

We assure you this is simply the first step in our Reality Initiative and NOT some hare-brained scheme to keep some people red-side once side-switching becomes available.

Thank you for your time and your continued patronage of City of Heroes.

::Opens mouth to answer... pauses... closes mouth... considers for a moment... opens mouth again... shuts it... frowns::

You know what? It would take far too long to explain.

Let's just say I enjoy CoH by hyper-organizing my play, taking all the little rewards and challenges and assigning them points, scoring EVERYTHING...

OH....

... and spreadsheets... lots and lots of spreadsheets.

Manticore: Danny Devito's stunt double.

Sister Psyche: World record holder for most money spent on plastic surgery in an effort to keep a youthful appearance.

Every single one of my heroes will be turning villain... and every single one of my villains will be turning hero...

... for a time...

In my tournament-style way of playing when my characters turn 50th level I focus them on getting badges and completing any content they missed on the way up. So... when they hit 50 each of them will quietly go to the opposite side long enough to get all the exploration, history, etc badges and run through all the Ouroboros missions before (just as quietly) going back to their original alignment.

It's on the schedule... in ink.

Trolls are not terribly bright thus making them excellent targets for jokes that will have a hero swinging towards Villain without ever having to do a single mission...

Here are a few ideas on how to confuse your Troll... No, I am not really all that worried about Troll retribution on this... first someone would have to read the post to the Troll... then explain it to them... then explain it again... which will give me more than enough time to put on the plastic-glasses-big nose-and-mustache disguise thereby neatly avoiding them entirely.

* "Say, I know your gang is mostly guys but... would a female Troll be called a Trollop?"

* "Wow man, you're looking blue today..."

* Access his computer and reset all permissions to require Administrator approval for ANYTHING... tell him Administrator is a hero who works out of Peregrine Island.

* Hand him an itemized bill for damages to the Hollows.

* Show him Ye Olde Beastiary where it states quite clearly that Ogres and Trolls are completely different species; tell him to make up his da**ed mind.

* While he is standing in a large grassy area act like he blends in so well you can't see him.

* Ask him how in the heck his gang-mates ever get over to their warehouse missions in Rogue Isles when you NEVER see a Troll outside on any of the islands.

* Ban him from the forums for Trolling... when he protests... ban him again.

* (This is for my peeps... you'll know who you are) Chop off one of his limbs and say "Aw, quit your complaining... you can just stick it back on!"

* Give him a GPS that has been pre-programmed to ONLY give directions to the Zigg.

* Accuse him of only being able to play BlackJack if he's naked... so he can count to 21.

* Advise him his brain scan came back negative.

* Pat him on the back and, in a commiserating tone, advise him that "Stupid is as stupid does... and you do just fine."

See... You should have taken MY method of handling such things. I keep putting out really bad joke lists until people start offering me money to leave the forums... I even got a Pay-Pal account for that happy day.

Since my SGs are all made up of nothing but my characters on that particular server I would say you are entirely justified in ignoring my SG mates if you don't like my playstyle.

Cantankerous old man climbs stolidly up the side of a hill and looks out over the unsuspecting and mildly curious masses below. He hasn't bathed in several months (at least not since the last rain storm) and his ratty tee shirt displays his political and religious leanings somewhere amidst the stains. He draws breath into his thin, brought-to-you-by-Marlboro lungs and begins to bray in a hysteria-tinged voice.

"Limited to level 20 content?! Weak Little Sister DOOOOOOOOOM!! Them there Praetorians come from a world that never gets past 20th level! No wonder Cole was able to take over so easy! No wonder he could solo Hamidon! Heck, lemme take my 50 scrapper over there an' I'll take over in a week! Do you dare to create a character in the Pansy Dimension?! Sure, go ahead... but when they reach 20 ya just might wanna stay there since coming to the 'real world' is likely to send 'em into pre-traumatic stress syndrome!"

"No Incarnate Content? Well of Furyless DOOOOooooOOOOOM!! Dang it I want my 50 to get more powerful! And don't give me no difficult way to get that power! I don't want to hafta fight the entire EB and AV network in one big battle royal... I want a da**ed Well of the Furies hawker on every street corner like they was lemonade stands! Five influence a cup.... extra for ice."

"Merging the Markets?! The Great DOOOOOOOOOM-pression!! Rogue Isles goods are tainted goods! You want a Soul Trapped Gem from the Rogue Isles getting loose in Paragon?! What if it was Hitler's soul in that Gem instead-a some good, up-standing citizen or hero, huh? You wander your gullible a** into Wentworths and see that 'Guarantee of Authenticity' plaque they got up on their wall done been removed! Now, I could understand Influence.... I could even live with Infamy... but will someone tell me what the F**K an 'Inf' is?!?!?!?"

"Side Switching?! My-Next-Door-Neighbor-is-a-Secret-Agent DOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! How can I trust ANYONE anymore?! You mean to tell me that guy with six giant demons tagging along after him like a dog-walker in one-a hell's version of Central Park is here to RESCUE me?! Dangit I'll take my chances with the Skulls... at least the Skulls don't look on me as some kinda da**ed entree!! Heroes, Vigilantes, Rogues and Villains?! I'ma gonna hafta carry go**amned note cards with me jus' to keep it all straight! 'Now, hold on... hold on... you say you're a Rogue? Okay, lemme lookit my notes... hmmm... carry the three...'"
