    AE is not a zone. It's a system, within the game. It's not a zone. You don't "Zone to AE." It's a system you use to create content.

    It's not a zone.

    I hate when I say the most basic sentences in English and people continue to act like it's not crystal clear.

    AE is not a zone, it is a system. The whole "Make Your Case" forum is about what zone would players like to see revamp and not what system they'd like to see revamp (and I'd bet you'd it be PvP and Bases long before AE.)
  2. The whole "movie" thing... is that a sly indicator that the City of Heroes movies will finally come to fruition after the rights were bought up back in 2007?
  3. ...AE is not a zone it is a system.


  4. Where Celestial Armor will be stored until a later date; preferably back as a T9 VIP Reward or in a Super Pack.

    Are you a VIP subscriber? Have you hit T9? Did you claim Celestial Armor?

    If so, let your sub lapse and report back

    I should clarified that by saying paying subscribers, if it wasn't already that obvious what my intention was since T9 VIP rewards are only available to paying subscribers.

    Makes sense to reward your paying customers with these, then, eh?
  8. Whatever did happen to Ultimus?
  9. Hopefully the summit will be recorded and can be watched after the fact.
  10. Why do you always repost official announcements as if they weren't put in the News and Announcements forum folder?
  11. It would be interesting to see phase tech used to revisit a zone twice through your career - one phase instance would be low level (i.e. 6 - 15) and then a second phase at your higher level (30 - 35) when whatever you experienced at those lower levels has grown or magnified in importance.

    I could see that being used for a revamp of Port Oakes

    Would you rather not have the pieces at all? I could just say make them a t9 VIP reward permanently & make an argument that they should only ever be available as such. It's not about snobbery (I do like how people who haven't earned it yet refer to it as snobbery) but respecting that the t9 VIP rewards have been intended as a token of gratitude for paying subscribers.

    If the whole set went on the market you don't think it would cheapen the whole concept of the T9 VIP rewards?
  13. Please let the aura, wings, and weapons remain VIP T9 exclusive only and sell the rest on the market.
  14. I wonder if phasing tech could be utilized to let heroes experience a Hero side only version of a zone and for villains a Villains only version of a zone?
  15. I think it's safe to assume that there already are plans to revamp the Shadow Shard, considering the direction of the SSA.

    There just isnt enough redside numbers to warrant putting in so much development and it would almost certainly have to be solo able too.
    Doesn't mean there isn't the potential for redside numbers to grow if you give it some attention.

    Not saying I don't agree with your point but don't ignore the things Redside has gotten.
    Mercy had very little changed, visually. It received a content change but the entire zone itself did not get a visual & content revamp on the level that Atlas Park & Dark Astoria did.
  18. Let's take a look at the recent revamps & new zones:

    Heroes
    • Atlas Park (revamp)
    • Dark Astoria (revamp)


    Praetoria
    • First Ward (new zone)
    • Night Ward (new zone)


    Villains
    • ???
    • ???


    Exactly. The total: 3 co-op zones & 1 Hero exclusive zone revamp. After 3 co-op zones & nearly 5 years without a new villain exclusive zone, redside deserves a revamp.

    New players can and do play low level villains. I still stand behind Port Oakes getting a revamp.

  20. I'm not annoyed that they're only available for a short time - makes sense. I'm just annoyed that there was no heads up as to when they'd be made available. No build up. Nothing.

    Still, if Super Packs are going to be a T9 VIP reward I'd like to see maybe the 1 hour or 4 hour version hit the T9 VIP rank also.
  21. I'm annoyed that the Double XP Boosters went Live - but only until the 30th.

    Epic fail, Paragon.

    You should have at least given some sort of heads up that Double XP Boosters would be on the market this week.

    That way people could have possibly financially planned ahead of time. It's not in my budget this next week to buy it, so huge fail Paragon Studios. Next time maybe try to advertise when something like that will be hitting the market - you always advertise double XP weekends.

    Whatever.
  22. So for those of you attending the Plummit this week and plan on attend on the "Make Your Case" forum about a future zone revamp; what zone do you plan on making a case for?

    Since I can't make it - but if I did go - I'd probably suggest Port Oakes. Heroes got a zone revamp (well, heroes get everything,) and now I believe it's the villains turn to get a face lift. Most of the Rogue Isles uses the same tired brick buildings and I think to entice some player action into redside is to give one of the earlier zones (not the landing pad) a face lift.

    Let's be honest, there's a lot that could be done with that Ghost Fort. Why Port Oakes for villains? It's the only SG registrar, it also has an arena, a Pocket D entrance, and a black market. Other than Cap Au Diable, it has the potential to be a hub for player activity, low and high. Port Oakes could be a mix of low and high levels. The Ghost Fort could be re-purposed into a level 30 - 45 area while the rest of PO remains levels 5 - 12.

    Anyways, what zone would you make a case for?
  23. If the "Ignore" ingame (and even forum) functionality become a "Super Dooper VIP $25 a mo." perk.


  24. Jesus Mother of God for once in your life stop complaining and just be grateful you at least got something new!


  25. Black Pebble as the model for Penny for the new loading screen?
