Actually, you're wrong.

The destination servers (of which my server was one) were upgraded and all the others were merged into them.

My wife will have to rename her character (when she gets bored with GW2 and goes back) and she's on the same server we started on back at launch; some people have a right to complain.

I played CO at the start - from beta for about 4 months solidly after launch; I remember the content being pretty poor (and sparse) compared to CoH; I hated that you didn't start in the city (they've changed it so you do) and I hated some of the later zones - Monster Island? Hated it. Underwater-zone? Hated it.

I was really struggling liking the game's stories until they added Vibora Bay - that one zone pretty much saved the game for me; the story and the way it's told was unlike anything else in the game: stuff happens, people are affected - at least for a while.

I haven't played much since. I really didn't relish playing through the content again with a new character; despite being an altoholic here and despite owning an LTS to that game, I've always preferred coming here for my superhero kicks. I know they've added a fair bit of content to CO the last couple of years, but I haven't managed to stay in-game long enough to try it - I tend to log in then log out 10 minutes later and boot CoH.

Once dropping in here is no longer an option, I'll give CO more of an effort - I just hope the new stuff more like Vibora Bay than the rest of the game.

Even on Union?!

How times change.

Nope they're still quite different - when I reactivated my EU account (pre freedom), I used a US 'welcome back code' thinking we were all one big happy family now. It broke my account; it was active but I couldn't buy anything in the store (just when all the boosters were on sale), it took support a week to work out what the heck I'd done as from their end there didn't seem to be a problem.

This, absolutely this.

Unless of course you don't have a test version of the site and you are fiddling about with the live one, playing 'what does this do' with the CSS.

This...

...and this.

Really, why bake a detail on like that? That head is great, but it would be a lot better if the antennae weren't obligatory and available to use elsewhere.

StJ is the only thing stopping me play my Beam defender atm...so torn.

Devs: please don't release any more powersets for a while!

Oh I dunno, I think poking the end of a staff into someone's gut would work (as an attack animation) whether it had a spear head or not

Oh, he does, he does.

Well, nobody actually said that, someone inferred that and took offence...but then we see a lot of that on the forum.

I said those honking big swords look bloody stupid - in all the various places I've seen them, and I stand by that assertion.

I did not say, however:
1) they shouldn't have made them
2) I don't like them
3) I won't buy them

Except of course that's not actually what he said.

I think they look bloody stupid.

They look bloody stupid in Anime, they look bloody stupid in Final Fantasy and they look bloody stupid here.

I'll probably still make one.

I thought they used player levels to show the passage of time in stories?

The way I understand it, Posi could be simultaneously handing out his TF to lowbies and dead to level 50s.

They could even use the neat phasing stuff so people who have seen him die, could no longer see him in Steel Canyon unless teamed with a lowbie...

Why would they turn down all that great publicity just to appease a vocal minority of players? Just accept this is the way of the world and move on.

Did you notice that MMORPG.com is currently giving away 30 day jetpack codes to NA and EU players?

Take one of those and be happy.

Pretty much this; you even have to fly in a cheap seat!

Maybe Posi should fly over to Europe and give everybody a haircut to make up for this outrage?

(Is this an outrage, or just a slap in the face? I can never tell)

I was a year old when Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon.

OMG! How can I possibly know about that, I couldn't remember it!

I haven't looked to see how many points $15 would buy - does that include the 400 VIP points you'd lose?

I'd love this.

There's a (Council, I think) tip mission, where at the end, you can listen to the mastermind blather at you over a radio; I take pleasure in switching it off as he starts (it never gets old for me), punching a villain partway through his monologue and shutting the bugger up would be just awesome.

St. is also the common abbreviation for Street, but I've enjoyed your deliberate misspelling all the way through this thread.

Yes, the whole idea of 'fixed points in time' is a ridiculous bit of writing oneself into a corner; you end up with a story about a guy with a time machine who can't change time, can't actually affect anything: pointless.

I expect that 'rule' to be ret-conned away & quietly forgotten in the future.

Or possibly the past.

Ah, I didn't read it like that, it's possible... and yes, sorry, my bad, I'll stop comparing (although being able to do that in the past was one of the reasons I used to love this forum).

You could make fire blasters very different by swapping the secondary I guess, but the set up on the primary will be very similar... as with all games though there are the cookie-cutter builds, the more-awesome than most combinations... I don't suppose there's much variation when it comes to fire/kin controllers, and I used to suspect that at least half of all controllers out there was fire/kin. :/

I suspect I've gone way off on a tangent here though, so I'll shut up now!

Granted, things might have changed; it's been a couple of years. I know my fire guy was unusual when I made him (I didn't see many all-fire mages) but I gather it's now a 'valid' choice. Still, unless things have changed really drastically, you should still be able to make 3 completely different characters in the same class, so my point stands I think.
