This will be my send off song. It truly reminds me of the epicness that was this game

Two steps from hell - Birth of a Hero

I would like to see some concept art for the battalion

It is nice to know I am not the only one who in some way owes their life to this game.

Backtrack 6 years I was first introduced to this game by one of my college friends who still plays to this day on Union though he is not the real hero in this story. During the first couple of years of my play time I entered a steep decline into depression and was having a lot of trouble crawling out of it.

During this time I met a player known as Divine Intervention. I became good friends with her and enjoyed talking and teaming with her. She was the sort of person who liked to help others, she never did reach level 50 due to her constant exemping (back when you received no XP)

I was still very depressed and I nearly reached the point of giving up but one day out of the blue she asked if I wanted to visit her. So a month or so later I was on a plane to visit her and it was a fantastic break from my real life and showed me that life was good if you let it be. I returned fresh and happy and finished college with good marks and was off to university.

Sadly I did start losing contact with her at that point as she started losing interest in CoH but I will always be thankful to her and if it wasn't for this game I would never of met her and I have no idea where I would be now.

1. Three of my characters are full T4 in those slots
2. I have one character which is T3 in everything except hybrid but don't intend on doing anything else on him for awhile
3. I was going to make my staff stalker incarnate but lost interest, my current water blast corruptor may be incarnated depending on how I feel at lvl 50
4. I have a number of lvl 50 defenders I wont be incarnating as I have long lost interest in playing them.

As an energy/energy blaster the only change I want to see for energy blast is a new look. The current energy blast is really starting to show its age so would love to see that looked into.

Heres mine, don't know why but I have to have the chat on the right

Any chance we can get a new WST blue side? The reactor is bugged making the whole thing nearly uncompletable.

The redside version of WWD part 6 actually has a nice additional part unlike the previous arcs.

I personally would never turn off my KB no matter how much someone complains, to me it is one of the best types of mez in the game it has saved me countless times already as something can't kill me if they are sat on their rear.

My current thoughts on DFB below are not good. New players are quickly joining it and then they quickly assume that trials like that are all there is to the game, multiple times I have seen on the help channel people asking what the next trial is. A lot of the time these players end up knowing very little on how to play the game.

On a more bright side on a fresh ill/rad controller I ran the trial and got to level 8 and met a couple of new players a, brute and blaster, one of which was around level 15. I suggested doing something else and took them to faultline. All the way through they kept saying how much fun they were having compared to the amount of runs in the sewers they had done. Also they asked me for suggestions with their powers and I helped them the best I could which they were quite thankful of as they commented how most experienced players ignored them. I added both to global friends and they are doing quite well without going to the sewers again

I am currently leveling up a new regen brute and so far I am loving it. I normally stay away from regen but as I really like brutes I thought I would give it a go. So the point is I am really stuck for a final build and I am pretty bad at making them. So if anyone fancies throwing together a build in Mids I would appreciate it

Things I remember

-Dinging 50 for the first time, I can even tell you what mission it was. The Diabolique mission for Maria Jenkins
-Hollows death runs, I miss the days when hollows was crazy and one wrong step killed you
-Defeating my first Lusca
-My first old Hamidon kill
-My first attempt at the current Hamidon when it was changed and the blaster suicide squad
-A certain man-cow constantly needing teleporting around the shadowshard during one of the task forces cause he kept falling off
-Costume contests where you could get enough people to line the entire square base of the atlas statue.

I believe one reason as to why its at level 20 is so that you are fighting Lost instead of Rikti. If you fight lost and some of them are level 30 or higher they automatically turn into rikti which for this arc would not make much sence.

Thank you for ruining the one day off in the week I have to play properly.

Patch downloaded (love my internet speed) and installed. Now for the long wait for the servers.

I do love the new login screen and music

Thermal/Fire Defenders! Finally! Been wanting to make one for ages to go with my other Defenders

My first character was an archery/device blaster as I cam from several free MMOs where I played an archer type character so tried the same here. It didnt get past level 29 as I found him very weak in comparison to other people I teamed with. I deleted him and eventually rolled a energy/energy blaster with the same name who is still played heavily to this day.

I have to say no. Paragon studios have never forced you to spend money to get badges quickly before as far as I am aware (GR does not count)

Its also not really fair to be honest.

5000 points is 12.5 months
10000 is 25 months
15000 is 37.5 months

While I don't see myself leaving during those 37.5 months it seems like an extremely long amount of time to play for such little reward.

This is coming from someone with nearly 1200 badges

Perhaps someone, while they had done the trial before had not completed it on the character they were playing on. This would have the cut scene play.
