Nice enough video, but I really hope that they have fixed the flag texture between the video being made and live... I am sure I will not be the only one annoyed at my country's flag being wrong...

[/ QUOTE ]

I hope they have fixed it (alledgedly it was fixed on test but i can't confirm) as I am actually proud of my nationality!

You guys REALLY should take a week or so off from CoH you know... All this stressing out over a game. It's really not good for you, you know!

[/ QUOTE ]

Errrm didn't you do basically have a massive stress-induced-paddy just like that a while back FFM - http://uk.boards.cityofheroes.com/sh...Number=1355177

....just an observation of the worlds many roundabouts...

Anyhoooooo - lets start a new concept - how lag infested and crash happy does everyone think this issue is gonna be?

Also what do we reckon will be the crippling bug on this one? After the chat one we had previously, I reckon it'll be actually moving at all Then again we got some content to thrash for a week before it gets dull so yipee for a week of 5th smashing!

I'll check back later, it's to much of a sunny day to sit here and get treated like we're nothing by NCSoft...

It's not like we can do anything else is there ...

See you soon Chum, I'm sure it won't be long.

Exactly. Something really completely wrong at NCsoft ("...server acces is currently restricted for internal testing to NCsoft employees...).
Ofcourse things can go wrong, that's life, but that there is still no official forum announcement is very shamefull and very rude towards their customers!

[/ QUOTE ]

Well given the first part of ya gripe is how they done every issue since I've been here (i7) I'd say they will continue the internal testing thing and people just need a chill pill. Plus if anyone bothered to read the client startup screen when they announced the free respec it almost blatantly stated i15 was the beginning of this week.

Word to affect of "We are granting a free respec in i15... you may want to use any remaining free respecs this weekend" - not like that wasn't a total giveaway!

Methinks the heat and talk of ice-cream has caused people's common sense glands to be removed.

Of course an actual bit of official news from NC *would* be nice, but tbh I lost any form of faith in the farce they call support/customer service 18 months ago.

That said can't wait to come home and thrash the 5th TF before it gets as much of a dull grind as LGTF lol

But today all that changed.
I had the honour of meeting the legendary Mother's Love in Atlas Park. And she was helpfull and so friendly, so much that I've found new passion and energie for this fantastic game.

Sometimes it's small things like a friednly word that realy gives a hero(or villain) the true strength to go on.

So Mother's Love, where ever you may be, thank you with all my heart.

Awww shucks... - "You're Welcome Dear™"

Twas a pleasure to meet you as well Sharkbait, looking forward to seeing you on-duty in Paragon and watching your career with interest (a bit like a cuddly Darth Sideous). You've got me on Global now so feel free to contact me if you need anything.


[ QUOTE ]
Bah. Mother's Love is evil I'm telling you. Evil!!

They're just lulling you into a false sense of security before stealing you away and brainwashing yo....

*is mysteriously abducted*

I am now back. I would like to say that Mother's Love is in no way evil at all, I must have been mistaken, and when they overthrow States and Lord Recluse I will be a happy slave in their totalitarian regime.

[/ QUOTE ]

Heheh, you know... I have a great many of little one's addresses, garnered through the thinly veiled creative exercise of the player-meet badges... So you'd better all hope ML has the inner strength and moral fortitude to resist 'Going Rogue™'.

[/ QUOTE ]

What you don't realise mumsy - is that a group of us are already working on plans to turn you to the truly dark side - we demand:

Mother's Hatred - hurting Paragons Little ones since Going Rogue

You know I'm right don't you... and you already know we'd make true horrors together... again... (let the scadalous rumours begin muhaha)

But on a serious note, and vaguely on topic, its been the works of many people in the background I think in recent times keeping everyone going when they all reach the boredom blues. I myself reached the 'meh' moment a few weeks back and its been simply a few mates just doing what they do has reinspired me into full overdrive! Hence why I am now frenziedly working on collaborative MA content and am (I swear to the gods on this one) going to finish my CoV comic series once and for all! Which will also require the assistance of a major forumite who has been ducking me... Mumsy...!

Congratulations on ya most joyous arrival! I suspect he will be leading you all into sleep-deprivation very soon. And beware because eventually he will think to himself "icanhazyourstuffz".

Also I reckon ya got a little Dominator there:
cute control / sonic assault

But, seriously have fun and its really something to celebrate!

I will fully /sign this idea!!! I'm fairly certain everyone would. Ever since MA came out I've been praying for this as I have a wonderous idea of base war as the finale of an arc! Only thing to add - we would need more spawn points than they would have with current implementation as atm its only doorways and the raid TP. However, it could be awesome to have it so that you enter via the regular base entrance and theirs spawns based on the type of room and its size (not as hard as one may think given weapons have some limitations and maximised spawns per room size/type). This would allow perhaps nice empty small rooms or the odd small spawn in a corridor and as you battle your way through the defensive weapons you emerge into a massively larger room and WHAM loads of enemies!

I've been crying out for this just as 'normal' base content like having longbow with a hero or 2 raiding if ya vill or arachnos with a patron and their flunky attacking for spandexers.

But to be able to make true custom content with the UD fortress would make me have an 'awesOMGasm'. Again - sooooo much /signed!!!!

All of the above sums it up really. Global friends/channels is frankly a genius idea and I often chat with people all over and I myself never venture out of union redside, so without it, I wouldn't be able to openly mock my friends on defiant heroes!

OT: Also can I moan that SingStar has run out of things to moan about and thus forcing me to rant?

i15 = 40/100
While the minor change to doms is nice, it overall imo isn't a massive thing to ride-home about, especially as it wasn't even on the list of features until very recently. This so called 'big issue' (which imo has as much value as the homeless rag with the same name) has... lets see: a pair of TFs that don't really have much to do with anything, a few random (and ugly) costume pieces, and some changes to the MA that really should've been in from the start.

Given the magic pack had better costume pieces and still no real content of any substance that I won't totally run out of in an evening, i15 ftl. Dom changes are ace but imo aren't that majorly needed and still doesn't give me anything new to do.

i16 = 50/100
Well given that we've had power customisation announced theres not much to go on atm. I would like to think that i16 will be the big content heavy and story filled issue that we haven't had since the RWZ. Lets pray 'the coming storm' isn't just references to some badly coloured corrs and fenders!

Score low atm due to lack of info and frankly no faith we'll get anything good. My money is on it being an all flash with no substance issue. (Prove me wrong NC!!)

GR = 60/100
Currently I love the idea, and am eager for new powers/concepts/content. But, as it stands this will be the only content heavy release thats been done since approx i9 or so when RWZ was added and given I've had 5 or 6 issues of nothing much to do (bar the VEAT arcs and an evenings worth of Cim content) I'm a little skeptical.

Also, why should we pay for content that we haven't had for over a year! Its like the free costumes compared with the booster packs. They make far better ones in the paid add-ons than the free ones in issues (i15 and the magic pack are prime proof enough) and it feels like a bit of a slap across the face that I now have to pay for an add-on that has all this lovely content that is '100% optional' naturally. But, still if you actually want to experience anything vaguely new you still have to pay - hmmm. Thats a worry for me as I like most are running out of things to do now ingame. I pray this is as amazing as everyones hyping it to be as if it isn't I fear 'the bell may toll'....

This rant isn't me going nuts (well much more than usual anyway) but more expressing that customers are slowly becoming dissatisfied and bored with nothing new to sink our teeth into.

To the screens I say this: -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4

WARNING - Naughty Words and link intended for older audience

But yeah thats just how cool it is.

Now give me a ton of new content NC and I will be giving you my money for a long time!

To the OP - Nah I doubt I would use any of them, the games alerady far too esay for me and I'm already getting bored with the new easy mode. I miss the old days where it took me a year to get Starscreamer to 50 and finished, whereas one of my recent 50s took a matter of weeks with no PL at all (including full IO spec with some purples and NO farming). While the free enhance one I like in theory, still no.

And to the off topic tangent: Atari ST - that is all

Aye welcome to games and forum dude. As Max says above the vast majority of pvp people left a while back. But, core SGs still have a reasonable following of pvpers. Overall when in zonal will be with roughly with the same people, but its always good to hang with your hunting buddies anyway

Can also holler at us in UD as well as we'll give you a home if you want it as well dude and on most late nights theres a couple at least lurking in RV from UD and its coalitions (including night before last where my mates where calling for reinforcements to combat the blaster army).

Visit the site in my sig if ya want more info too or contact me ingame via @Starscreamer.

Now I go back to whatever it is that I do... oh yeah!...

There is only one answer...

The Dark Overlord of Creativity...

The King of Perversion...

He's sinister, he's sinful... he is...

...The Starscreamer.

Like anyone couldn't work that out! Yeah I made him 3 years ago (in August) and from day one I poured everything into that char. What many may/may-not know is all my chars are based on my real appearance. This char being the exact height and physique as I am. He even has the exact hair I had the day I made him. Over the course of playing him everyone kept referring to me simply as 'Star' and most gave nothing but tremendous praise about the obvious namesaking. So this char was the one who started my themed chars that I continue to this day.

As time progressed more and more, this char became a true fusion of tha avid gamer I am with my real persona. To this day his first costume slot, aside from adding an aura and cape, remains 100% unchanged. His look is me, his back story is me, his namesake is my favourite all-time villain in any medium and someone I identify with for personal reasons, his glorious powers are so me (and he was NEVER planned in mids and never will be)... I could go on but I've proven just how arrogant I am by this rant - just like his horrific namesake

Hey and welcome to CoX dude - what you started was actually the first ouro TF which it even says in its brief before you start that its not intended for solo play as she is not the only Hero class foe on the arc. Same goes for all the ouro TFs, but the standard arc (the contact right infront of you as you enter ouro) is easily soloable.

If I'm on in a bit drop a tell to @Starscreamer - if I ain't busy I can waste an hour ripping that TF to pieces with ya

Megalomaniac - its not one you see on everyone, and I myself get loads of comments about it on screamer himself as its one of the less sought after Accolades redside so anyone with it always gets a subtle nod from me. Plus the badge itself looks awesome.

Hero side my fave arc is probably the Faultline arc - everything with Arbiter Sands is just gold (well silvery-white anyway).

Villain side theres many for me.

Crimson Revenant's hero hunting arc is awesome, Vernon Von Grun for the mad science hilarity, Westin Phipps as lets face it the guys great, the entire VEAT arc and Darla Mavis for her entire revenge on Aurora Borealis.

Just a repeat from earlier but happy birthday rooksy mate! I wish ya nothing but an awesome day homey! Now go kill some braincells and punish that evil liver of yours

And its all done and dusted!!! Oh yes the main UD site is back and bigger than ever! Featuring all the updates as mentioned above plus all manner of new stuff. Thanks for being patient peeps while I had a slog with our new hosting and content provision.

So without futher wordage heres the relaunched www.udsg.co.uk muhahah

Best ya can do is use Sunstorm from PPD police (who cons as an AV unhelpfully) but the khelds and veats arent in MA cos basically the devs said it was too much work (dont have source but I'm sure I read that ages go).

Theres also the idea of using Nictus bosses like White Nova/White Dwarf too but they wont have a 'human' form. I believe you can select lieut ones too but cant remember witout looking. This would also allow the arc to be any range whereas using sunstorm I believe forces it to a high level. Theres also Romulus the Warshade you could use as well - but wrong kheld, but no stupid PPD cossie on him.

After recent convos ingame and my assorted mad rantings about the joyous power of gravity, I came up with this spec. This is a comparitively cheap spec and is not a permadom spec. Instead this is a spec that is optimised numerically instead, grabbing handy buffs as and where.

Also you'll note the kismet on Scorpion Shield as I went mace mastery based upon what we chatted about. This means your shield isnt amazing, so it has been used to gain that +tohit buff giving almost the equivalent roughly of a micro-tactics meaning no need for leaderships like mine has. Also 17% more global dmg means no need for something like assault. With fiery embrace ontop you attacks will do superb dmg.

Given fire's only got 1 real melee, and you will prob play like me and spend most of the time in the air lording over sky-based combat. So the spec is tailored to remain at range but be able to mez a room. Ontop of this, you gain the extra pet from mace, as well as the ranged debuff attack. This means ya char does smash, fire, energy, toxic and lethal dmg overall. Good mix, coupled with some debuffing ability, strong shielding with PFF as ya panic button, very high dmg and increibly strong mez mean this char overall will be tremendously balanced.

Given that this spec very much does not run along regular IO designs, many would prob claim this to be not very strong. This spec was made using my own benchmark dominator as the template so once learnt you will debateably be even stronger and be more than capable of perma-holding an AV on your own. With skill and practice you can even solo hold Monsters and GMs, but thats way down the line.

Oh and of course, theres a few special shiny things to make it extra nice and a pair of purple very rare pet IOs on singy - trust me its worth it

Enjoy and I hope you get the joyous experience I had leveling my very first char, The Starscreamer himself, my gravity/thorns/soul dom

I would like to make a special thank-you to Mids on behalf of the entire of Ultimate Darkness.

Longer than any one of us can remember your application Mids Hero Designer was the one which we all officially endorsed and to this very day use to create builds for each other. We also use it as a great facility to assist newbies too. You, without ever having even met any of us I imagine as we occupy Union, have contributed something very unique to our community alone. Then take into account the sheer volume of users in the rest of the community and even the world. You have had a tremendous impact on this game and its community, and I know with true certainty that every single member of UD past and present would thank you personally for what you've done for all of us.

And I personally want to thank you for not only helping me learn other facets of the game using this tool, but to plan out every single char I have had since. Without your direct and incredible help, the quality of gaming and characters I have created would not be as joyous as you are.

Thank you for not only helping newbies, adding to the community, but for also improving the general quality of my gaming.

On this day I shall not use one of my usual monickers and instead will say this:

"MIDS FOREVER"

Starscreamer, Starslugslinger, Starsixshot, Starskalor, Starscorponok, Starseawing, Starsunstorm, Starsunstreaker, Starskylynx, Starfrenzy, Starskystalker and Starchopshop are all in your eternal debt.

Hope alls calmed down bit more for ya dude and once more welcome back to the real fun

Attention all miscreants, ladies, gentlemen, everone not covered by the 1st few, I have news...

As I have perpetually promised as any normal developer does, the UD site is imminently being relaunched. I have completed a round of changes and am now uploading some special content elsewhere for when it goes live. The relaunch will feature all the things as before, plus an extra 130+ images in the gallery section featuring a hero fight and an AE encounter to confuse all. That's not all...

I have managed to dig-out the the old PvP arena videos of UD in action, including the famous whole day event with The Horde. These due to size will be appearing on megavideo.com, and will be embedded in the site for ease (chance that to view full screen may need to goto their main site but you will know once up and I can test properly).

Not only that but I have already begun planning the next series of features when this is all finished. But I cannot do it without all your help!!! I am looking to do a 'Player and their Main' style biog page. Visit UD forums for more info.

Also assorted UDers have been creating very special content for all of us and our colition via the glory of AE. Yummy and I recently completed the 1st proper UDTF featuring a series of traitors! Both Grav and Agent have horrors in the works for us, Freeda's got a 2 part epic where Hell starts to overflow, and my own 2 part arc 9 mish total uber Tf for proper 'Westin Phipps' type villains is ready too! Get ready for 'The Predatars'.

Also big welcome to our assorted new members as well, as frankly lately theres been so very many its hard for me to keepup for once!

Oh and just an FYI peeps - UD celebrates its 3 Year Anniversary in August so start musing if you have ideas fr it. Especially as I've already managed to unlock the veyr last contact for Starscreamer himself and its one we're gonna do in one fell swoop: Viridian...

Carnies I've always found quite fun (cos they really scream for me...)

Vanguard when ya come up against them have always proven to be one of my fave foes as they make heroes AND villains tremble. Also vanguard wizards = uber cool

Storm Elementals I oddly like too just cos they look so strange and just have some very cool attacks, they always stand out against any map.

And for some reason I've always liked fighting Crey. Probably their very 'LutherCorp' feel and approach to business.

Also agreed - 5th Column just rock. Destroy the atomic-space-nazis!

Just wait, in a few days you'll see a thread with the title of "i just teamed with damz as leader ", some people have mentally blocked out past experiences of my carnage teams

Oh I dunno, on the occasions where I came across ya you've proven to be excellent grenade fodder.

But seriously, just an FYI to the OPer - if ya ever lurking villainside and need of people to team and chat with holler at @Starscreamer and we'll show ya the real walk on the wildside
