    I am hoping you just mean that the Nova and Dwarf are not available at AE and that I can, indeed, be portrayed, perhaps as a different archetype (since I do not use either of the shapeshifted forms).


    Well, I can "mimic" Widows in a sense... but can't really mimic SoAs. I don't think costume parts are customizable with the arms with those. Been a while since I tried.

    Kheldians would be very boring stuck in their forms... but could do a human form of sorts.

    Dunno... the Epic ATs really rely on how strongly the community feels about that. I'm open to suggestions.

    Of the two you submitted... this one is a much easier fit to the arcs.

    Thanx!
  3. We referring to something such as Traps? If so, I believe there's a workaround for anything.

    Granted, I can't do anything about Epic or Patron Pools in A/E or some Power Pools either.

    I figure as long as the essence of the character is captured to the best of A/E's abilities... the creators of the winning guest hero/villain (misc) should be honored quite well.

    Wow, am I ever late on the feedback/input part?

    Quote:
    Should we give out prizes to encourage participation?
    I wish I were INFinancially well off to say yes on my behalf... I think either leveling up, teaming, getting tickets and doing something different is enough, but that's just me. I'd happily use tickets acquired from this to get Salvage or whatever for participants or something or other. Hey, saving 2-4 million per rare salvage is nice (IMO).

    Quote:
    Should we dump the server author theme and just pick mishes from our Best Of lists to show off quality arcs?
    I vote "Best Of"... not sure what they are... but I'd like to see/play them. Author Theme would be great for next(?) A/Envasion IMO.

    Quote:
    If members would like to make an alt on an Ænvasion server, we could set up a couple nights in the 2 weeks prior to team up and help level them a bit. Level pacting would be very useful here.
    What time I get during the week to play is usually dedicated to my friends and what they want to do. I doubt I'd find time to alt up during the week and just go with noob toons.

    Quote:
    Should we rename the Ænvasion groups to "AE Superteam" or something similar to avoid confusion with Martial Arts Superteams (most players associate MA with the powerset, not Mission Architect.)
    Yes to A/E vs M/A... which seems has already been decided. *thumbs up*

    Any other brainstorms?
    You know my answer to that.

  5. Pimping your creations is what this is all about. I love what other people come up with.

    Thanx for the submission Ebon, just don't know what server to put you under--- nevermind... I see it's Pinnacle by the link

    Oh yea, and you know I'll hafta summarize that bio if it wins. Still, that's awesome!
  6. Funny, I thought about this a while back too. I feel I lack decorative creativity and would like some inspiration by seeing other's bases first-hand. I'd be game if this ever happens.
  7. Okay, in-game since Beta... yet I'm honestly a Rookie on the boards still. Forgive me for not having the foresight to reply to myself after starting the thread to keep updates of submissions. Oh well, better late than never! I don't wanna start a new thread for tracking, so...

    Top Heroes (5) / Villains (5) per server (no particular order) in the running (to be updated until 7/4/11):

    * denotes submissions containing proof of 50.
    This color denotes only that they are locked into the top 5 of that alignment on their server for final selection.
    The selections for Top 5 Lock are mainly me indicating these characters are the easiest fit into the story and are not guaranteed winners at this time. Locks are given reward for early participation!

    Note that players with multiple submissions will be allowed. However, once a servers list reaches 6 in a category those with multiples are likely to be removed first. In the end, I would like each player to have only 1 eligible submission overall.

    Thank you all in advance!
  8. Thank you Backfire. That's pretty much 100% how I was wanting submissions here to be.
  9. My character's name will be Kordor (level 4 MM).... I'm invading from Guardian server.

    Stop by with your level 50 at some point before or after if you want to submit your awesome character to my Global: Character Contest or just post pics/bio later in that thread.

    PEACE! (and happy gaming...)

    ?nvasion Plans

    I'll be there, hazards pending. Albeit, level 1 (unless we get free character transfers!) O.O

    Actually, for some reason I have a level 4 MM there... so when ya see "Kordor", that's me... and I don't really recall creating him... but seems I did.
  11. Quote:
    A millenium ago, everyone knew of Yan Qing's prowess, but none could discover what style he practiced, so they called it Mizong meaning 'Lost Track.' Mizong earned him fame as one of the 108 gallants with no regard for the law who revolted against the corrupt govt - the Outlaws of the Marsh.
    Yan Qing met an Immortal and bargained to become immortal himself. If he could best the Immortal, he'd receive the 'secret to being alive centuries from now.' The Immortal was pleasantly surprised Yan Qing could honor the bargain. However, the Immortal seemingly tricked Yan Qing and gave him an elixir that caused him to be dead but preserved for centuries.
    In the late 20th century he was discovered and accidentally revived by archaeologists when there was an unexplained reaction between the elixir and the experimental omicron particle reflection technique used to see inside his body. Since he has awakened, he has not aged and has had amazing powers of recuperation. He may indeed be an Immortal now.
    That's what I'm talking about All Hell! I do need to know if they Hero or Villain and primary server. Thanx!

    Do you want us to post it in this thread... ?
    Yes, please.

    Quote:
    Can we clean up out Bio from the live in game version?
    Of course. Just remember, we have limited space in A/E as well.

    Quote:
    Can we submit multiple costume pics for one character. My character has a human form, and then multiple incarnate/avatar forms that he takes for combat.
    Yup. But only one costume will be awarded the winner... unless they sneak in costume changes for mobs. O.O

    Quote:
    Do you want out builds?
    That's a good question. I want the arc accessible to non-Incarnates or Incarnates in progress... so I'd hafta say "Prioritize" most important to you from top to bottom. I believe I'm getting the "balance" factor of custom mobs pretty well understood now through trial and error.

    I know I'll have all winners be Elite Bosses, with the top Villain and Hero appearing as AV rank.

    Builds won't be a factor until winners are selected. And it's a shame we can't do Power Customization in A/E to really capture the awesomeness of the characters the community creates.

    Quote:
    I'm not 100% on what you mean by "pathes" but I'll definitely be posting an alt when I get home tonight!
    My current "Black as Midnight" arc ends with a choice of sorts. To follow Heroic or Vigilante path.

    From there you can go to part 2 of Hero arc or pursue the Vigilante arc.

    From there, the Hero continues as Hero to the finale.
    The Vigilante can return to the finale of Hero or the finale of Villain.

    Mind you, I will be purchasing the 5 additional slots... so all 8 of my slots will be dedicated to this series and I will move my immature "Farmville Beatdown" arc to second account at that time.

    Quote:
    Aw man, that leaves out most of my toons! Why do you hate altitis?!
    I thought I was one of the altitis supporters with over 20 50s in 7 years. (Not that there's not others with plenty more than that)

    Still, there's til July 4th to get a character to 50! That's plenty of time.

    Thanx for the replies all.

    PEACE (and happy gaming...)
  • This also happened to me last Wednesday. I was on my Hero Illusion/Emp Controller and set to "Willling to join Trial in progress"... ended up on a level 42(?) Founder's Falls Safeguard where there were at least 2 others present. It had seemed as if the mission had just started, seeing how the Fog of War was still very much present and got the "The Bank is Being Robbed" notice as I was making my way back to PPD van.

    I didn't stick around to talk to them or find out what was going on. I believe 1 of them saw me, and I felt like I was screwing things up being there.

    ?nvasion Plans

    Heya my MA Superteam counterparts... just chiming in to say unless something drastic happens to me... you can count me in to host this on my home server of Guardian.

    Also, made up my mind and posted this in relation to the A/Envasion: Global Character Contest.

    PEACE! (and happy gaming...)
  • I've had this idea in mind since Architect Entertainment (Issue 14) was announced and 6 Issues later, I'm finally going to do it regardless if it's well-accepted or not.

    What is it?
    • A contest seeking advanced player characters to make a guest appearance in upcoming Architect Entertainment arcs.
    • I am accepting RP/non-RP/PvP/etc. character submissions! I'd like to see representatives from all genres if possible.
    Hey! Comic books have crossovers all the time without harming the character's lore, right?

    This is in conjunction with the Ænvasion (link) in which I am a member of that will be visiting all servers in the upcoming weeks...



    What I'm looking for:
    • Per Server: 1 Hero/1 Villain Winners
    • (based on name + costume + bio + show your auras & weapons if you have em!)
    • Overall: At least 1 of each AT
    • (minus Epic ATs: not customizable in A/E - subject to change based on community feedback, though really don't want generics representing you!)
    • Morality: 13 Hero / 13 Villain
    • (Vigilante/Rogue welcome as well)
    • Requirements: Winners must be level 50
    • (for story purposes the characters should be established and powerful, so would like to capture that. Also, I would prefer if they are non-comical in nature. By that I mean, more along the lines of The Joker over The Tick in this case. Not that I don't love me some Tick... just not fitting for this series.)
    • Submissions: Post in-game pics including bio here or join us for the Ænvasion coming to your server soon
    • (Character bios do not need to be overly complex to qualify. Please indicate their morality and what server they appear on. Contest will end when the Ænvasion is over - July 4th, 2011.)
    • Winnings: Appearance in arc, bi-weekly lock = 2 Alignment Merit reward, final prize totals over 1 billion.
    • (This is more about noteriety of your creations than the cash, but all 26 winners will be guaranteed a prize valued at 25 million.)
    • Eligibility: You can't be ME!
    • (I can't win my own contest? That sucks! Sorry, @SupaFreak... have a seat, pal.)
    I will be creating "Profile" images from my personal favorite top 5 Hero & top 5 Villain submissions from each server, with the final hero and villain winners to be voted on by the public. Target voting period is July 10th-July 17th.

    Updated Submissions List (5/23/11)

    Notes regarding use of winning submissions:
    • These are guest appearances (not to mention large data-sinks) and not required objectives. Not that I'm saying they will be easy to avoid and background at all. Just that no one's going to be "forced" to seek help from or fight your creations. (Optional) objective sound familiar?
    • Top Hero and Villain to appear in each finale arc as Arch-Villain (Incarnate) rank as non-required objective.
    • Other winners will appear throughout 6 arcs as Elite Boss ranks as non-required objectives.
    • Each winner will choose if they want to be Ally or Enemy.
    • It will be known any "defeated" winning characters are not "killed".
    • Characters will be used in the most respectful manner and attempt to stay true to their "concept" or "background".
    • Winner's global handle will be listed in the Souvenir instead of character bio as originally planned.
    • Character's group will be (!Server! Universe), for example -> (Virtue Universe). Subject to alteration, based on feedback.
    • Winners can E-mail me in game or on boards with speech text they'd like.
    • Submit multiple costumes for your "signature" characters if you like, but only one costume per character will be accepted per winner.
    • I will take build submissions once winners are determined.
    • Builds (power selections) should be submitted by priority, as I will need to balance them for solo players and not to exceed 100% XP/rewards by a great amount.
    • I don't have the Beast or Steampunk Booster yet, but do plan on having it by then.
    Optional (once contest over): Winners can Copy/Paste the body text of their character's .costume and .critter files to me through Board E-Mail.

    "Oh, snap! I saw this custom critter on my server!" - random crazy person

    Example shown in Test Mode. Settings = no Elite Bosses (scaled down) + Level Shifted.
    Thanx to Samuel_Tow for posting costume file early for use in demo.

    Summary of Story
    Basically, a story loosely tied to City of Heroes lore about 2 opposing (magic/spiritual) custom factions that see you (the player) as either a threat or aid to their existence.


    Arc Pathes (8 total arcs):The initial Hero/Villain arc of each line are pre-50 and do not contain player characters. Winning submissions will appear in 2nd and final arcs. Arcs are designed to be more of a fast-play "adventure" with minimal reading required.

    If you choose to participate here and not play the arcs, that's totally fine with me. I fully realize A/E isn't for everyone and this isn't a ploy to try to get plays on my arcs... this is more about saying "Hey, this community rocks!"

    I'm not an avid Comic Book collector/reader nowadays (thanx economy!), but for what it's worth my darker influences are along the lines of Spawn or Watchmen.

    PEACE! (and happy gaming...)
  • Okay, so work had a situation today... so put the finishing touches on City of rejeX: (1) The Idol Trap (Part 2 of 2).

    Synopsis: The mysterious Paragon Idol judges have dealt with the nerdy Herman, but are they capable of handling the unknown foul-mouthed thug?

    ...and this is why I say it's NOT for kids.

    PEACE! (and happy gaming...)
  • First off, just wanna say nice intro update via Samuraiko/Dark_Respite/Michelle.

    As far as the review/video. I think ya got a nice balance between the nice & mean as far as being critical. Honesty with a sense of respect is always a good thing.

    Keep it up, Bubba!

    PEACE!
  • I think I know what you're talking about, but cannot find it either. Listened to / watched it long ago. Searched all I could. May have shut down?
  • If you're ready for some more immature comedy, City of rejeX: (1) The Idol Trap (Part 1 of 2) is now live.

    Synopsis: The fast talking Herman tries to impress the mysterious Paragon Idol judges with his computer skills, but he soon finds they are not too accepting of him and neither is a local fowl mouthed thug trying to track down Herman to beat him up.

    Part 2 may be live later this week. It's 75% done, but working out of town right now...


    I'll state now that the video series is NOT for kids... even tho some may be okay for them to watch... not all will be.

    PEACE! (and happy gaming...)
  • Sorry I missed it the team this week. Trying to get some things organized with work and such. I was a bit surprised to see the team played thru "Black as Midnight"... much appreciated. About to lay out the groundwork for the next ones that I think are smaller. Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze in some CoH time this week.

    PEACE!
  • I received the "You have quit your team." as all the others did as well 4x last night while joining the Lambda Sector Trial on Guardian through the LFG interface.

    I believe we all joined through the LFG interface and we were all in RWZ, mix of Heroes/Villains and 50s and 50(+1)s on a team of 8...

    I promptly logged out of City of Heroes for the night out of frustration. I don't believe everything's working correctly at all and I just wasn't in the mood to waste my time getting repeatedly "quit"-booted. I have faith it will get fixed tho.
  • Thanx Battlerock/D2. Your comments are always greatly appreciated. Sorry about the previous YouTube attempt. Don't care if I get Dislikes or bad comments this time around... I'm just gonna have fun with it and whoever enjoys them, enjoys them...

    I'm keeping an eye out for more from you!

  • I've rewritten and have relaunched the immature comedy City of rejeX: (0) The Early Nerd.
    Thankfully I can now make videos in HD and in Ultra Mode.

    Synopsis: Herman has aspirations to be the greatest hero ever. Finding himself in Nova Praetoria, he makes his way to an audition in Imperial City and toys with non-responsive NPCs along the way. But does Herman realize he's not the only gifted civilian with a goal?

    And ummm, expect something different than any other CoH videos out there...
