    This reminds me of something. Another game company (rhymes with Belectronic Barts) has a promotion going with Dr. Pepper for exclusive in-game items purchased with codes found under the bottle caps. For some games, they amount to little more than costume pieces with a small bonus added. The in-game item could excite existing players and the exposure of being on a major consumer product could get the word out to a large segment of the population. Granted, I have no idea of the fiscal side of this thing and I imagine it would be some work for the art team. It is just another idea tossed out there.
  2. This was a great event with a lot of really impressive participants. Thanks again to P.E.R.C. for overseeing the whole affair and congratulations to the winners!

It *may* be possible to automate the process; I don't know. I kind of doubt it, though.
    • 3D Printing doesn't support Bump mapped or reflective textures well, and those are both things we use a lot of in our costume bits.
    • Aura's aren't really doable at all in 3D Printing, and for many of the best costumes out there, the Aura is a key feature.

    That said, we'll continue to follow the technology and, hopefully, one day it'll be doable!

    Me, I still want posters of my characters.
    Thanks for posting that, Castle. That's all good to know and, though it isn't currently possible to do, it's heartening to hear you guys are staying on top of the tech. So, let's talk posters...

I'll contact you once the novelty of your joining us dies down a little bit, and we can talk about getting some people here in the area together to host a booth on behalf of NCsoft/Paragon Studios. I'll personally do the footwork of contacting the people who run the convention, coordinate getting space, help plan activities, gather volunteers to help run the thing. You (Paragon Studios) pay for the floor space, send displays and swag, work with me on what you want to make sure happens (and make sure doesn't happen) in promoting the game, and officially back our promotional efforts to the player community. Together, maybe we can come up with a plan to replicate this effort throughout the country. Again, tonyv@cohtitan.com.
    There are also a small number of free tables available on a first come basis at Dragon*Con. Usually, they're on the Marquis level of the Marriott, if I recall correctly. I, for one, would be happy to man a table. So if anyone gets this rolling, let me know and I'll volunteer.

    This is probably not BP's area, but since we're throwing out merch ideas here's mine: custom figures. Harmonix does it for Rock Band and granted the figures are a little pricey, but they're totally worth it. It'd hurt the wallets of those of us with major alt-itis but, again, worth it.

    I'm a member of the staff of the Pittsburgh Comicon. Every year at the convention we have a freebie table at each entrance to the show, and it is loaded with everything from local comics store's flyers, to promo pins and keychains, to one-sheet posters for upcoming Hollywood blockbusters.

    the show runs next Friday Saturday and Sunday, and while it's no where near as large as San Diego, it still sees an annual attendance of 5,000-8,000 comics and sci-fi fans. I would love to see some advertising for City of Heroes and/or Going Rogue on the freebie tables, even if it was just flyer of some sort. If there's any way you can get something in my hands by Wednesday the 21st, I will be very happy to put it out on the table for you. And all it would cost you is the price of printing and shipping.

    If you need to verify this, you're welcome to call the promoter, Reneé, at the phone number on the website. My name is Roger H. If you think this is something that makes sense, you can PM me for my address or phone number.
    Street teams for Cons is a good idea. There was a street team thing going prior to the CoV launch, though I don't know how well that worked out. If you were going to hit an East Coast Con, Dragon*Con would be my suggestion. Huge con, a promising demographic, and more and more game companies seem to be showcasing their wares there.

    Edit: And a big 'Heya' to Black Pebble.

    Thanks for the info on Extraction. I may go with something like that when I get the Lich, though it would be a fine line keeping it so it wouldn't offend someone who is sensitive to such things.
  7. I'm on my first MM, a Necro/Poison. Not the most effective build, I'll wager but it works for the concept: a black widow who marries, murders, and then raises her spouses from the dead to do her bidding.

    Zombies: First Husband, Second Husband, Third Husband

    Grave Knight: Rich Husband, Famous Husband

    The Lich I'm not sure about yet, but I'm thinking 'Rich and Famous Husband', though I don't know if it will fit.

    Stupid question time: does the Soul Extraction power result in a nameable entity as well?

    I was in the process of grabbing some screenshots when I went for the old standby and just reinstalled it. Seems to be working fine now, so I look like a fool for no reason. Durr.

    So, here's my build and two of the big issues I see are 1) the mis-slotting of one of my Doctored Wounds instead of dropping both in the same power and 2) the wasted pool on flight. But, Hover is especially useful when soloing and it is my favorite travel power so I have a hard time deleting it for something else. Also, the levels I added powers/slots is a little screwy since I forgot to grab that data earlier. I appreciate you letting me impose on your generosity a little more.

  9. Again, the advice in this thread has been insanely awesome, thanks to all of you. One thing I am definitely not shy with is attacking. Prior to my return, I pretty much only teamed within my SG and so I tended to solo a lot. In fact, most of the time I'm right out there with the Blasters, pinging away. In reading everyone's comments, I realize I'm doing more right than wrong. (Thanks to luck? Common sense? Who knows.) Although the two things I still need to work on are my LTF comments and my slotting.

    Another stupid question from me. I can't access the Titan forums at work so I apologize for asking the question here. I'm trying to set up my build in Mids and I'm only getting the proper SOs for some powers and just Training for others, regardless of what I click. Is there a bug or am I doing something incredibly stupid?

    I'm sure this is part of it, but the first few days back I was actively told by players in teams that Empathy defenders were fairly useless at higher levels. Thankfully it was only a couple of people in bad groups and the experience hasn't repeated itself.
  11. I definitely want to thank everyone for the replies. I think, after reading things, that I may be in serious need of slotting advice. I'm going to grab a screenshot of my current slotting when I get home from work tonight and toss it up. It's nice to know that Empathy isn't as disdained as the impression I was getting indicated. I tend to PuG quite a lot, since most of the people I knew in game are long gone. Luckily, I've started finding good people who run about the same schedule I do so hopefully I'll be running with a more regular group now.

My suggestion would be to use your search comments and looking for team messages to subtly emphasize the fact that you aren't a heal0rz. For example, if I see someone advertising as an Emp/Rad defender I'm more likely to select them over someone who advertises as an Empathy defender or a Healer. I have no way of telling how competent any of them are but the first one implies a higher level of competence. Or of course you could just start your own teams .

    As for practical build and play advice it sounds like you already know it but I'll give my $0.02. For an Empath in high level play sensible use of the buffs (particularly Fortitude and Adrenaline Boost) is a LOT more important than anything else. I like Empaths who use the auras in combat (even if they miss me with them) more than Empaths who stop the team for auras or who use them right after combat so we waste time walking to the next spawn. For Adrenaline Boost I personally like to see it used on the person who'll get the most benefit from the recharge but I know that there are plenty of people who disagree with that and prefer to use it for the regen or recovery instead. That is a viable choice and at the end of the day as long as the Empath uses it I'm not that fussed about the target .
    I really appreciate the reply. I've never been a fan of forcing everyone to stop for auras, so I'm glad that combat use is something that has some people's approval. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't guilty of the occasional post-combat auras though.

    The tips on searching for teams messages is something I'm definitely going to use. I should have considered how much the info there matters. It's nice to know I'm doing some things right and it seems like I'll just have to work extra hard to overcome the stigma that some folks have given to Empathy.

    Thanks! I'm still stumbling along with the IO stuff and that could be ridiculously useful. I'll check into that tonight!
  14. Hello fellow Defenders. I’m here to solicit some suggestions on how to keep my Empathy Defender relevant in the game today. I’ve just come back after a few years away, so there is a bit to get used to about how things are now. I’m not the type to sit in the back and try to earn my keep with heals only. I’ve got Rad for the secondary and Psychic Mastery for my ancillary. I have no problem fighting and mez/debuff as best I can within my power sets.

    Since I've been back, however, I’ve been running into the issue of people being disinterested in teaming because I’ve got Empathy instead of one of the other primaries. I understand in higher level teams that Empathy isn’t as useful as it is earlier in the game, but getting the cold shoulder for having it is surprising.

    I enjoy my build and have fun, but I’d generally rather run with a team than solo. I understand that it’s important for me to have fun, and I am, so I’m not looking to reinvent my character based on the opinions of others. I’m just looking for some tips on how I can tweak things to become a more useful asset to a team. Thanks!
  15. Thanks for the response. I've tried playing in safe mode, with the same results. I don't remember exactly what the specs were on the video card I was using since I've been through a few boxes since I stopped playing in '06 but I do remember that it was an integrated chipset as it was a crappy hand-me-down box from work. I had to play with seriously reduced video settings, but I could play.

    Unfortunately, it looks like I'm just going to have to put the game on the back burner again until I can get a new desktop system together.
  16. I'm just coming back to CoH after a long absence and I'm having the fun problem of invisible characters. I am on a laptop and I know it has a crappy video card, but the ATI Radeon X series is listed as compatible and I know it's lightyears ahead of the old card I had when I played before.

    I've read through some of the posts of people with similar issues and I've upgraded to the latest ATI drivers and the newest version of DirectX. However, no joy for me. Here are the results of my CoH Helper and HijackThis runs, if anyone can offer some advice I'd appreciate it a great deal.
