Texas Justice

From what I heard (after starting the "CON" chant at the M&G, I only have one thing to add:

"So say we all."

This is the Discussion Thread for the announcement that the Origin Pack is now on sale.

Phewmite is referring to the Discussion Thread for the announcement of the Origin Pack, including what was in it, including a link to the YouTube trailer for it that showed off the capes and auras.

TheOcho had also commented in another thread confirming that the capes and auras are not locked to the characters origin.

Both of those posts were from 10//20/2010 when the video went up on YouTube.

Out of curiosity, what made you think that they were origin restricted? I know that the link in the first post to the CoH website announcement of it mentions that it isn't tied to your origin.

The Community Reps are too busy bouncing between servers for their costume contests.

Meh. The Television is just lucky that pohsyb has chosen to remain silent in this thread. The Television knows that he cannot match up with the sheer awesomeness of the backwards bishop.

You have it all wrong. Justice didn't need help, but Justice always has open arms (and places at the dinner table) for anyone that wants to join us. Just ask Red Valkyrja, infallibe (from Virtue), Grazel (from Virtue) and any of the others that have joined us. Most find us so awesome that they create characters on Justice just to be around us.

EDIT: Oh, and I'll be there, but you may not quite recognize me. Then again, you might recognize me but not know that it's me unless you check the global.

Nope, not a bug, that's WAI.

These costume parts are part of Going Rogue. If you don't have Going Rogue, you don't get the parts. They enabled your access to them during the Reactivation Weekend but the weekend is over. As long as you don't try to edit the costume slot that has the shoulder pads, you can keep them on that slot. The only way you will lose them is if you edit that slot and finalize the transaction. I know players that have characters with the Malaise pants that were removed in ... Issue 2 or 3 I think. They use their other 4 slots for costumes they edit but keep the slot with those pants unedited so that they can keep them.

It's the same situation as if you had created the character in Praetoria, you wouldn't be able to access that character until you purchased GR. The same as if you had created a Hero or Villain using one of the 4 new powersets. You wouldn't have access to that character until you purchased GR.

Well, now I have a different dilemma. I had forgotten about my flight miles. Using those I can fly out for $5. So much for that cost/benefit ratio.

If I can get someone I know to split a room, we could stay at a hotel close to the venue for around $125 each. Not bad for the quality of the rooms and the short walk. Factor in food, drinks, and incidentals and I'm looking at less than $200. Now it's in a much better cost/benefit ratio but I still have other factors to consider. I can still likely get by under $225 if I stay at alone at a hotel that is a longer walk away from the venue.

Several of the regulars I've enjoyed seeing at past events likely won't be there. Liquid has already said he won't so there's two people I'll miss, and I can think of about 5 or so others that likely won't be there. And then there's Chris. Visiting with him was one of the things I always looked forward to, and that won't be possible anymore unless it's at a player organized event such as Red Gren's Justice dinners.

I'm keeping my options open for now until I get a chance to talk to a few people about splitting a room. We'll see how it goes, but I'll have to decide fairly soon in order to use my miles.

I hope so as well.

Running the installer doesn't always cause it to overwrite existing registry entries, which is why it isn't the same as uninstalling (which does remove the registry keys) and then running the installer (which finds no existing registry keys so it writes totally new ones).

The numbers that I've crunched so far after looking at flight prices tells me that I'll be staying in Texas this year. I hadn't even gotten to hotel prices and I can see that it isn't economically feasible for me. Reading Liquid's comments on the hotel prices means I just saved myself a little bit of time by not going that far in the cost calculations.

It saddens me since I made the '07 M&G at D&B, the '08 HeroCon and the '09 HeroCon. The trip to the Bay Area had become the one thing I really looked forward to all year. But, with other recent news, I'm finding fewer reasons to look forward to it and the costs just aren't justified for me.

I hope that all that attend have a fantastic time. Maybe Red Gren can come up with some idea for the Justice people that won't be attending who have been a regular part of the past events.

He's been gone as of yesterday. He didn' break off all communications with the community, he set his PM box to refuse PM's and cut back on his posting. He still posted during Beta testing and there were some in the community that he had more interaction with.

There are still some in the community he interacts with through other sites as well.

Anytime they've had layoffs or a reduction of force in the past they haven't allowed those leaving to post a goodbye post. Usually it's only been the Community Team that we've seen posts from that they were leaving, but then we've not really had a Dev as well known and as well liked as Chris leave before except Sean's off and on work for the game and possibly Zeb Cook (another we didn't get a goodbye post). Of course, Jack didn't really post a goodbye post either, we got the news that he was really and truly gone at the Bay Area Meet & Greet when they announced that NCSoft had bought out Cryptic's share of the game.
