Appeasing fascist dictatorships doesn't have a good tack record.
I swear, at least one of the devs is a history buff. -

Why?
Is it because of the fact that we are for the most part playing heroes and our behavior is molded by the gestalt of the heroic mindset?
Are CoH players older/more mature? The average age of a video game player is mid-thirties, surely were not all over the hill. And the faces on CoH faces appear to represent a wide age group.
Anyway, I was just curious to see if others of you observed thae same overall phenomenon that is the CoH/CoV community.
It is possible that there are more mature gamers here. I have heard it said that WoW has too many 12-year-olds.
I think that another good reason is the size of the community. It is nowhere near the size of WoW and I think it gives the game a small family feel. -

Well at least I wasn't crazy thinking that it was supposed to happen on July 10th.
Doesn't mean I'm not crazy though

Quote:I hope so, seeing that the devs have been building them up since (technically I11) I expect them to look and feel like a serious threat, not just to Paragon City, not just to Primal Earth, but to the entire Multiverse!Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I think they'll be a little more spectacular than that

Yeah, I honestly miss those old origin-specific missions. Made your Origin MATTER.

Quote:Actually, I kinda agree. I miss having a different contact based on what origin I chose.Originally Posted by Primary_Unit
Sorry, I don't consider myself "nobody." And the only thing about the changes in the past two years that actually bothers me is the destruction of Galaxy City. Galaxy City wasn't the popular place, so it wasn't needed, so boom? And the heck with those of us who preferred it?
I feel just a tiny bit resentful every time I make a new non-Praetorian hero. I really miss Gregor telling them Azuria is crazy. I wish, probably in vain, I know, that they would create a new 0 to 50 series of story arcs that involve rebuilding GC. Only then will I forgive them for destroying it. -
Quote:I must agree. The only things I don't like are the fact that we don't have the OPTION to fight on behalf of Emperor Cole if we WANT to roleplay as steadfast Loyalists.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I can't really think of anything - the game just gets better and better with each new update.
And AE farms (Granted, that's something the devs had little control over and they did the ONLY thing they could to keep them in check. The reason why I'm saying this is because I actually USE AE for what it was SUPPOSED to be used for. I appreciate creative writing and creative design and AE farms are not only NOT creative, they seem to overshadow everything that IS creative in the AE.
Sorry, /vent. -

Citizen Zombie, with an inherent ability to speak to the dead, is a patriotic Necromancy/Thermal mastermind. His family is composed of anti-hero activists who no longer speak to him. His character theme is a rejection of the dictum that "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." In addition to magic foes, especially those associated with the undead or ghosts, he also frequently fights anti-American groups such as the Council, the Fifth Column, Malta, and especially the various factions of Praetoria, with a particular dislike of the Resistance.
The Resistance are the PRO-Freedom faction in Praetoria. If there is an anti-American faction in Praetoria, it should NOT be the Resistance. Granted, some of them use borderline (or beyond-borderline) terrorist tactics, but even those Resistance members have the INTENT of freeing Praetoria even if their METHODS are a bit twisted. -
Quote:Actually, I am more excited about Nature Affinity and Bio Armor because I can think of concepts for those. Not really with Water Blast, strangely enough. Hoping they make a Water Manipulation powerset sometime.Originally Posted by Wolf_Reign
I will be satisfied if it is before issue 24, then.
And I'm sure people all around are waiting for that one more than the rest of the sets they got coming out. -
Patience. There are likely some bugs with it still, but it will PROBABLY be released before I24 since none of that content is on beta and we don't even know WHAT will be in I24 content-wise.

I used to do that with Statesman on the OLD ORIGINAL Loading Screen.

Is it possible to add a couple new features to the Arachnos Soldier costume set:
The Arachnos Soldier Cape (Not the Arachnos Symbol Cape with the CoV Collectors' Edition) is uncolorable.
PC Wolf Spiders need a "No Helm" Option. -

On the other hand, until a couple weeks ago I had never taken a character into the Hive at all and I haven't had one in the Hollows since a few months after it was released.

Quote:This. Give me a "retro" desktop computer to play CoH. I can be without CoH long enough to do whatever requires me to be away from my desktop.Originally Posted by Power_NA
Hmmm, I am thinking it would be a pain to play on a tablet. Also would use a lot of room.

Ah. I did check it up on Paragonwiki and so, I deleted that post.

Quote:Any chance of a Water Manipulation secondary for Blasters? This would be nice.Originally Posted by U_S_C_I
Any chances for the development of a water and/or earth based blaster set? I know you won't talk about upcoming changes, but it's just a thought.

Quote:I agree. I like Skyway's design and atmosphere, as well as Boomtown's.Originally Posted by Lazarillo
Well, it serves more purpose than, say, Boomtown. Since it's leftover from a time when zone design was considerably different, it may seem "meaningless" now, but that's only because it wasn't designed for meaning, as much as atmosphere.

Quote:These definetly.Originally Posted by ArticulateT
Well, I had a few, but intead of making individual threads for each one, I thought I'd go with a nice big list.
[B][U][SIZE=5]Minor Aesthetics
The first is the TPN trial. In the cutscene where HD interviews Maelstrom, I feel that the power he uses seems a little... over the top? While his back would be to the camera, I think the Executioner's Shot would work far better in terms of animation than Dual Wield. It seems so much more casual, so much more relaxed, and portrays Maelstrom's confidence more than an exagerated twirl and crouch, which to me, seems almost comical rather than intimidating.
The second would be the the Keyes Reactor Trial. While it seems like a no brainer, I don't think the proper reaction to time being frozen is to start choking (unless it was some kind of comical alternative, in which case, it works perfectly)
While equally comical, it would probably work better to use the frozen animation, as it would have the proper, statuesque appearance to time being halted.
Anyway, as for what I'd like to see, there are one or two things that come to mind, but the gist of it would be items that permit us more functionality, such as an AE terminal, with contact hologram and simulation entrance. Another could be the addition of an Auction House conduit, and maybe some invention tables.
[SIZE=5]Story
[SIZE=2]Perhaps it's been suggested before, but some exclusive contacts and other content for Rogues and Vigilantes would be sweet, as well as possibly some potential to join significant villain groups if you're a bad guy to unlock some exclusive costumes and other items. I'd love it if my Warshade had the oportunity to join the Council. -

Quote:Rikits? Do you mean Rikti? Apparently, for some reason, the Rikti never attacked Praetorian Earth, only Primal Earth.Originally Posted by Power_NA
So Hamidon and the Devouring Earth, can't swim? Where are the Rikits?
I was thinking, Praetorian Hamidon was the good version :P eating away evil, or what ever it does.
Also, both Primal and Praetorian Hamidon have the same motivation: the eradication of humanity, therefore both are evil. -
It is also possible that the Hamidon Wars led to the geography of the United States (And the world) being MASSIVELY transformed. I mean, look at Eden. If PRIMAL Hamidon could do that, what is the PRAETORIAN Hamidon capable of?

No.
