Would love to have creepiness in Astoria, since discovering that Croatoa is actually very cool, and that they CAN do creepy well.
And would love to see CoH zones get made use of, rather than being wastes of space.

"You want me to hang around and help the team's doing the sweeping?" Wolf asked quietly, before chuckling for the first time that day. "Not as if I got anything better to do."

And a few other ideas by the sound of it. She was great =]

WarWitch has used [Restore Faith] =]
Not fully healed, sure. But its great to see them.

Yeah, GM fighting was out for me.
Ah well. Test server has Devs =]

-Kicks Test Server Updater-

Move faster, dangnabit!

Hello?
Does anyone think for one minute that the Devs would announce everything before its even done yet?
Yes, this could be it. All of it. And, if that is fact, *then* I will side with the unimpressed.
However, it might not be. They could and may have a load of stuff ready to unload on us unsuspecting mugs.

As ever, I'm waiting for the boat to come IN first, before judging the quality of the cargo.

Waiting until the Lieutenant had slapped the cuffs on, Wolf leaned forward and clamped a hand on them. A second later he withdrew his gauntlet from the solid block of ice that encased the perps hands.
"Better safe than sorry," he said to Hicks with a nod, then wandered over to the medics.
"Hey," he said quietly, folding his arms as he stood behind Tinderspark. "That was brave, y'know. Rushed, but still brave."

Who's Meg and what does she have to do with all this?

[/ QUOTE ]

not sure she would like being generally felt in public either

I really, really hate my keyboard.
Unfortunately, being a laptop, I cannot mutilate it without killing my only way of playing CityOf...

Although, feeling of being Meg in Family Guy? Might be somehow similar? It's a possibility.
Either that, or 'Meh', as it was meant to be originally.

Farming when you've played through the game a bunch of times beforehand, however?
-Butchers Rikti Comms officer-
Meh, some conccepts get to see the light of day. Im not so fussed anymore.

Why not make the tier 9 an armour boost that also adds in a damage aura? Representing the user turning into a walking block of pure radiation. High DoT while in a decent radius, so they can literally walk around infecting everything around them.
Something a bit different, anyway.

I didnt post this in the main anniversary thread because its pretty large already, anyway, I was wondering, the news post is saying something about special appearances on the test server...

Is this something for only the US AGAIN?
or will the europeans actually get something to for a change?

[/ QUOTE ]

We get a special appearance from Ghost Raptor and Avatea on our training room.

[/ QUOTE ]

And a couple of devs from Paragon.

Quick, grab some Stalkers! Lets try and nab that [One shot Kill] power offa them!
Will hopefully be lurking on Test, see if I can spot one. /e binoculars

Turns out that BaB actually tried posting here. Before my time, sadly, and he left because of the majority being...inhospitable.
General feeling of Meg: Increasing.

...Dangnabit, I just realised I can't go on May the 2nd. -Fume-
Oh well, will need to mug some random RP some other time.

There was a hiss of jets, then a clank as power-armoured feet landed next to the vehicle. The flames choked out as a freezing gust siezed them.

"This is Wolf Hound to Hicks. One pyro down, the other in custody, over." Wolf slung the Redding over his shoulder, glancing around for Tinderspark briefly, before walking over to keep a tight eye on the surviving thug.

Wolf cut through the skies, landing on the other side of the tunnel on a rooftop. He grimaced behind his helmet as he saw the fire imps latched onto several of the cars, then caught sight of the fleeing thugs vehicle. Slowly and calmly he changed the Reddings magazine, intstead feeding in one chunky shell. A high powered, dedicated Sniper Round, one that could punch clean through a Rikti Chief's chest and out the other side. Taking careful aim and holding his breath, Wolf fired. If the shot connected, it would hopefully take out the cruisers window and neutralise one of the passengers. Even if it was lethal, Wolf was set on course.

Re-slinging the rifle, he leapt off the roof, jetting down to pull level with the rear pursuit vehicle. A blast of alpine cold air rushed over it, one that would, hopefully, take care of the fires. He jetted from vehicle to vehicle, repeating the process. He couldn't stop to see if it was effective or not; he had done for them what he could.
Pulling level with a Cruiser festooned with the leering fire imps, Wolf focussed the beam from his gauntlet. It would likely freeze the metal that it touched solid, but any imp caught in the blasts would be dropped to at least 0 degrees C. Careful to avoid the windows and tires, Wolf started attempting to pick of the fiery little bandits.

I thought this was going to be about stopping it from being a Global MA server as it is now.

Which, given how annoying it can get, I would probably agree with.
We don't know which arcs are from the US, and vice versa. And, oh yeah, we CANT GET ANY FEEDBACK FROM THEM. Due to some bright spark getting the idea to use 'global' tells. Which means EU or US tells, since they are so very not global.

Split the thing, and stop clubbing the EU with middle of the day server downtime that only the US gets told about. Plzkthnx.
/rant

As soon as the hostages were in the hands of the Medical squad, Wolf was airborne, jetting after the stolen car.
He landed solidly on a building along the road from them, kneeling and bringing the redding up to slam into his shoulder.
"Chew on this, you -"
The digusted curse was lost over the rifles crack, high powered shots aimed at the vehicles wheels and bonnet. Even as the lost shot flew, Wolf was airborne, keeping on the move like any good sniper.

Hehe...
Update: Failure
Architecture: Lacking

No EU announcement yet? Shocking.

I am disappointed there has been no EU announcement yet, though, as it remains to be seen how much of this carries over to the European servers. Seems to be par for the course at present though.

[/ QUOTE ]

The announcement was only completed yesterday, and is currently being localised for French and German before we publish.

As a general hint, however, the EU announcement is nearly identical, and the changes are minor (the biggest is that one of the contests will be different).

[/ QUOTE ]

GR, seeing as English is what the Americas use anyway, is it really that much to ask that we get the announcement on the same day?
Or is there this new 'American' language all of a sudden?

"You lot, stop them!" Wolf yelled, shouldering the Redding and raising both hands at the cluster of quivering hostages. The air temperature plummeted, to that of an alpine mountain. Wolf began running scans as fast as he could, trying to guage what could be done. If needs be, he could lower the temperature enough to freeze them all, just enough to put them into semi-hibernation and keep them 'on ice' so to speak, without risking too much damage.
So long as he could contain them, they might have a chance.
If not, there would be two pyros at large with the Hunters Mark on them until they were taken down...

/Signed
And no idea, Z. I bet not, though.

"Yeah, y'know what?" Wolf muttered, drawing himself up and letting the Redding hang idly. Instead, he raised his right fist, the now humming powerfist coated in ice. "Freeze!"
A beam of thermo-negative energy pulsed from the gauntlet aimed at the ground in front of the retreating thugs. If it hit them, their legs would most likely be coated in a heavy layer of ice, pyros or not. And, failing that, the ground around them would form a pane of glass like ice, slippery enough to skid even a tank off of.

We should have Land of Hope and glory as the English Anthem.
Seeing as there is none (British anthem does not count)

God save the Queen! God save St George!
