I keep forgetting that the internet is freshly flooded with the ignorant talents of fifteen year olds, so I should have anticipated that coming, I guess.

Doesn't matter, really; PvP is still dead ;-)

So, what can be done to make supergroups a useful part of the game again? I know some people will disagree with that statement, depending on the server you're on, but right now they don't serve a necessary part of the game (and some would argue they don't have to). Still, they should add something to the game and an add an additional layer of game play.

Right now, I just feel supergroups are there and don't add much to the gameplay experience other than a pool of people to play with; there's no added gameplay with being involved in one.

/end rant.

And I found it came from this thread.

I was just kind of blown away how it changed all in one day.

Currently the icon in our "Info" box or "ID" card is a photo of your actual toon, but perhaps - and this is a back burner idea, I know - but a separate character creation screen where we can fine tune the face a bit more (a high res model), ala Sims. So you could set the expression you want your hero/villain to make, add scars, beauty marks, tweak the eyebrows & eye color, etc., to create an even more "personalized" look for your Hero/Villain.

The basic look of the face would be determined by the hair/accessories you chose, and the "face" you selected into the Costume Maker screen.

You wouldn't carry that face into the game, but a photo of it would be taken and used in your ID cards.

How in one day did my reputation go from 162 to -523?

I play because it is the only MMORPG I've played (UO, EQ, AO, Farmville) that's managed to keep my enticed and excited over the years, and I feel proud for my longevity.

Although I've paid nearly $1,000 in subscription fees over the years it's been worth it

I still manage "The Hellish Crusaders" but it's really just a shell. SG's became really.. pointless... with that huge prestige bonus they did a year/two ago. Right now there is nothing for my SG to strive for, so I have no need to recruit. I did the math on rent - my SG has enough prestige to cover rent for the next 10 years.

I suppose I could start recruiting new players to introduce them to the game - but what new players generally start off Red-Side anymore? Anytime I team with someone I add a star in their notes section so I constantly see a sea of bouncing stars whenever I am redside.

If I had to pick an SG, Empire of Blood, ftw.

At least it's being released before August 18th!

I'm excited. I've been playing COH consistently the last five years (on/off since launch), and I still log in because I am amazed at how far this game has come since it launched. I remember being told power customization was a near impossibility (back burner enhancement) at one time.

So for me, each update makes the game sweeter and sweeter. Right now it's like shoving my open mouth into a mound of sugar.

MA Arc #408433

Custom Mobs, Elite Bosses, Extreme Elite Bosses, Ambushes, Escorts, Captives, Glowies
5 Missions.

You know, David, you potentially have a nice little community CoH contest here in which players can submit designs for new architecture and buildings.

It would be nice to see some new "modern" style architecture. With the beauty of the glass reflections it would be nice to see some entirely glass structures in some new/unusual shapes. What is that Egg shaped one in London?

It's been ages since I've done an MA arc, but I do have a new one up (ty to those who helped test).

For some, this will take you back to 12th Grade English - enjoy

My favorite thing about CoH has been two things: First was the day, after two dedicated years of playing CoV early early in the morning and as briefly late at night when I could at night, I finally got my villain main to Lvl 50. Then, after five years of neglect, getting my original, first toon on the account, Ellen Akres, to level 50.

Along the way I've had fond memories of teaming and whenever I revisit a zone or arc, I chuckle at some of the whacked out times I've had completing those missions or eras.

I'm learning to appreciate Ultra Mode - namely the reflective and water aspects of it since shadows and ambient occlussion destroy my experience. I really came to appreciate water reflections when I had my first sewer mission since I17 went live. My only suggest would be to make the sewer water a little bit thicker...

Thank you for the help, I was just frustrated with crashing, waiting to verify files and trying to get back in to crash again, verify etc. etc.

I got it working now, but it was such a headache.

I really do. I hate it. I made a mistake, clicked the wrong button, and now the game crashes whenever I try to log in.

/end rant.

So, since we will be getting true reflective surfaces with I17, does that mean they will reduce some geometry in AP by eliminating the inverted 3D model of the foyer (that you see through the transparent floor) and swap it a true reflection instead (so we can see ourselves standing on the floor)?

The reason why I still stick with CoX is for two main reasons: The Mission Architect System and Power Customizations(i.e. tintable colors).

Mission Architect was not something anyone dreamed of or anticipated and the City of... team delivered an amazing golden nugget of a surprise.

More importantly, Power Customization was something we were told for years was far off, almost never, possibility - yet - they delivered and I am still finding myself playing this game for going on 6 years now.

Tried UO, left it. Tried WoW, let it. Tried Anarchy Online, left it. Tried Farmville, left it.

Still with my City of...

I am totally excited for this Issue - mostly for the graphic updates.

Nice I like all of them

Oh, he's back, the Hamster man.

I did a search and couldn't find anything, but has it been discussed if/when one day we will be able to get a spawn location editor for maps so we can designate the location of spawns?
