The Artificial Intel

Our friendly (if completely biased and judgemental) community will delight in answering the questions to those new to the server, or from those off-server willing to ask questions about us.

PVE questions? No problem.
RP questions (and complaints and concerns)? No big deal.
PVP questions? 50/50. 50% will say GTFO and 50% will actually help. (Mind you, PVP is broken as hell.)

Don't be afraid, ask a question! God knows this board needs more activity besides those (dreadful) Rookery [INSERT DAY] threads. No offense, Cien_Fuegos.

I'm not sure if this is some kind of underground secret since GR came out... But there seems to be quite a few more RPers in Grandville than normal. Actually RPing, not doing LRSF's.

PLAYERS LEAVING POCKET D FOR RP? NO WAY.

Grandville brosephs. Turning into a great RP setting, filled with multiple levels of exploration (Have you guys seen the tunnels under the city, with NPC chokepoints? Amazing) and superior places for deal-making, VG meeting, and hell, I feel more comfortable ERPing in Grandville nowadays compared to Pocket D or Arena.

Just saying.

Have you tried an Arachnos VG yet? Most of them tend to be sane.

Current Main that is MIA due to RL?

Brief Summary: Fortunata Sanguine is the recent commander of the Arachnos Espionage Division. Her personality fluctuates, depending on who she is with. Within the AED's membership she seems to be motherly, caring more for her divisions comfort and safety, as well as maintaining their morale. To the AUC, she seems to be a shrewd tactician, once again emphasizing a loss of friendly forces. To those outside of Arachnos, she seems quiet, whenever she does speak it's normally out of prejudice and cruelty, showing no respect or trust to those not affiliated with Arachnos.

Everything you are doing is everything I do on all of my characters :|

In fact, the -only- time I AE farmed was on two of my toons. Fortunata Sanguine to bum-rush her to fifty so I could earn VG leadership, and Aaron'noxa to 40 so he could start tanking.

All the others were classic Newspaper/Radio, Mayhems, Tips, and story arcs.

This forum is boring. My Virtueverse pages are lacking.
Let this be a request thread for talented photoshoppers.

My main request is a good logo for the Arachnos Espionage Division. :|

"Forging a Dark Millenium: MMOG vs MMORPG".

Pretty good detail on the key differences between the two. CoH falls on the MMOG side of the fence at times.

I feel for you bro. I love PVP. Always did on all of my MMO's.
But the many gripes I have with the City of Heroes PVP system are long, and too ardous to get into. So I shall make a Top 5.

1. My main issue seems to be more or less the PVP Enhancement Drop Rate. That or I'm just not killing them fast enough. (Being gone for two issues isn't helping me on the Incarnate scale as well.) I love how shiny they are, like a little collectors pin every time I look at them in my ability slots. But they don't drop for me. Ever.

2. I guess balance is a main issue here. I believe Robotics/Dark Masterminds are still the PVP God Tier of MM's, so my Rob/FF gets pummeled no matter how high my Defense is. And why a Scrapper can beat a Stalker in PVP using the same power pools, same slots, same enhancements is beyond my capability of understanding. That or I have just seen some bad Stalkers. Anyways, balance sucks. Add in PVP Enhancements to make that even more so.

3. (Least when it comes to Virtue) WHERE THE HELL IS THE PVP?! I don't join Arena to PVP. Arena is specifically for sexy time. No exceptions. I join Recluses Victory to PVP, and I might have -maybe- one to five people at a time.

4. Combination of (1) and (2), but it feels like support classes are just easy targets, and they are really under-rewarded. You have to do killing damage to get a PVP enhancement (if I recall), so being a support in group PVP is like getting a serrated phallus shoved into an orifice. It's never enjoyable. Unless you're into that kind of stuff.

5. Group PVP is just god-awful. I'll admit I've seen a few arena fights that actually went as great as expected, but almost ninety percent of the time it's nothing but a focus-fire fest. AoE's are useless (EXCEPT AGAINST YOURS TRULY, DAMNED MM'S), Hold/Sleep/Stuns! THEY DO NOTHING. Also, I'd like to introduce a new mechanic when it comes to Support Classes: AoE Buffs. Think Mastermind Henchmen Upgrades, but instead of doing one at a time (like it used to for MM pets, and still does for buffers) it affects the whole team. That'd make my life so much easier. And lazier. I love laziness.

This event may be starting back up! Hooray! I'll keep you posted, and if you need to look for me, I'll be on probably tommorow night. Pocket D, as usual.

Cien, give me a status report of how well Virtue is faring with the F2P AIDS? Pocket D had a bad futanari infestation, and I'm wondering if it got worse.

Wassup.

THIS EVENT IS NOT* A GO!
Disregard everything.
