LOL what better way to really stress test CoV than to give everyone a shot at Statesman.
Tricky devs we have here, but like I said before I only have a lvl 12 CoV char. So boycotting will be the same as if I was actually there, only differance will be I won't need a bodybag for whats left of me to go home in.

I wonder if ol' Emmert will actually be in front of the computer or if Statesman will just be an NPC. WOW that would be cool to open unlimited bottles of kick butt on the lead designer of CoH.

Broomhilda now that is a perfectly great idea, boycott this crap shoot.
I like that thought, anyone else with us, like I don't need to battle some ego crazed dev with a lvl 50 that is maxed to the hilt.
BTW They say money talks BS walks, so let show them where the money is, as in who pays for thier game and salaries.

Cool.. boycott... Less lag for those of us who will be there to take on Statesman and his minions..

That's funny, I saw several of you the other night in Atlas Parks.

Here's what us working class wanna know! Is this going to go on throughout the day or will I log in at 6pm PST and find my toon gone and event over with?
I mean its a great event and I would like to take part in it, but I'd be pretty bummed out if it was over before I got home from work.
Yes I love CoH/CoV but not enough to skip work cause Statesman and Lord Recluse aren't gonna pay my rent

That's awesome! I don't care what others say. I'll have my 26, 23, and 19 all attacking States even if he's lvl 100.

oints to the picture in his signature:: Remember this, Statesman? There's plenty more where that came from.

Indeed what time frame is this going to be on? I am concerned about the same thing. Anyone know? Devs? Hello?
The best I can find is this... be prepared to unleash your destructive rage on the evening of October 26th!
Evening.
I have a feeling we'll be seeing the event end with the scene on the cover of the COV box: Lord Recluse manhandling a defeated Statesman, with the crowds on the rooftops (us villains) cheering down.
Can't wait! > What time will the event take place?
FireWild - lv 50 Fire/Fire Blaster (Justice)
FyreWyld - lv 40 Energy/Energy Brute (Justice)
... and way too many others

This would have been so exciting for me a couple of months back, but at this point in the de-evolution of CoH it fails to draw more than a yawn.
The Legion of Freedom
Will the other devs be playing their namesakes?
Positron aussalting Cap au, as positron
Synapse doing things in the 17-23 zone
Citidel
War Witch
Manticore... The list goes on!
And a giant coffee cup running around SMASHing everything in sight (for you Cuppa)
By the catapillars hooka you WILL smile!
Positron implied that they were going to be running with the same code as monsters.
So Statesman and company will be conning purple to everyone so everyone no matter what level you are should have some chance.
Xanthor Defender 50 Empathy/Electricity/Power,
Arctic Heat 42 Tanker Fire/Ice/Pyre Guardian
Xanthor Blaster 50 Fire/Electricity/Electric

Please stay on past 8pm PST so I can get home from work and kick your [censored]!
Actually, you'll be kicking mine since my highest villain is level 10

Hmmmm, I preordered CoV and entered the preorder code at this website on my account. Will be emailed the code to enter live 2 days before the game arrives at my local store?
Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.

mmm with all the nerfs he's thrown around satesmen wont be able to take much of a beating these days, now my only question is: do i play my tank and try tyo save him from all the angry gamers or do i pounce on him with my mastermind and my minons? no matter which side i chose one thing is true: statesmen is going to need backup and there will be a line of people trying to fight him.
I am an ebil markeeter and will steal your moneiz ...correction stole your moneiz. I support keeping the poor down because it is impossible to make moneiz in this game.
sweet, I dont even want to kill or fight him yet, I just want to die right in front of him and then have a team mate TP me around right next to him repeatedly so I can taunt
him from the grave til no end.
"Ha take that Statesman, I bleed upon your boots!!!"
"Can you smell that Statesman? thats my evil leaving my body in gaseous form! Muahahahaha! What!?? im unconscious, I can't control it.."
"So what if you hit me in the head and exploded my brain with the impact, you will NEVER get those brain particles out of your suit! I win afterall!"
How about we get a line up of Necro(Zombie) MasterMinds and have them all hurl green spit at Statesman.
Zombie barf 4tehWin!
Wha? I mean everyone else is talking beating him up, I just wanna mess with his dry cleaning bill

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout dispatch. Many of us bought the preorder so we can play the beta...I know what you're thinking that oooo that doesn't count since it goes into the game price...well WRONG the only reason I bought the pre-order was to see if I liked it if not well then no CoV...thus I payed for the beta...FACE
[/ QUOTE ]
2.56? thats what I paid for it? Thats what I found in my couch. If you paid the full 50 bucks just to see if you liked it then thats a problem and I would agree, you paid for beta. but less than 5.00 bucks really cant be called paying for it.

but only after they've pushed us back to the only safe place left at all.
the hospitals.
[/ QUOTE ]
We can rezz at our bases, if we have them and if we've built medical stations there. And we can teleport from our bases to other zones, if we have telepads.
Blockading the hospitals won't work this time.
[/ QUOTE ]
heh, so they can blockade the base portals instead :P

*wonders if that's why the base portal in Sharkhead is next to the hospital*

Ooh! Can we have the option of bringing in our heroes instead? I want the Widowed to tag along, just so she can smack Lord Recluse into submission and turn the tide once he gets the upper hand on Statesman. Big time glory for Widdy, you know? 
I can dream, can't I?
I just want ONE assassin strike to get thru on Positron.
Watch that bad boy short circuit all over the place.
As for States... Daisy Chained might be nuts, but she's not stupid.

Since you chimed in Jack...
Can you tell us if the players will get the chance to be either hero OR villain? THose of us that are in beta that is?
While being a villain is cool.. .I think I would choose to go hero myself.
If not.. rest assured.. I WILL be beating the red/white and blue off of you and will be making pop cans out of Positrons armor
Can you confirm or deny that the other Dev's will have a shot like Positron, Ms. Liberty , Manticore etc at being there?
As live players that is.
Curious minds want to know
