I was sad when i finished GW's Patron arc. I wish we had a library or book store that was in-game so we could just read/research about the CoX universe when we want....just a thought.

Oh, my first TF was Manti's and by far the best TF in-game

Question: my Ice Arrow keeps melting on the way to a mish any ideas how to stop that? And my Glue Arrow keeps sticking to my back, and that dang Oil Arrow keeps leaking all over my costume.....any help is appreciated

WELCOME BACK!!!

Please don't tell me I'm the only player whose first reaction was "Manti left? when?"

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think it was a "Sorry but Manti left CoX and is now working for the CIA...i can't say anymore...i am afraid i have already said to much"...Statesman

I did hear about it when either Cuppa or one of the Devs did and interview on MMOradio. They just said that Manti will be working on some other projects but will still have some input...me thinks but I knew he did not have the same role as at the beginning....we sent a memo out along with the TPS reports!!!....I think we had a cover sheet. *palm face splat*

Glad to have you back anyhow, Manticore.

No slight intended to the villains out there! The Praetorians are still my favorite CoH creation and Ghost Widow's journal pieces are my pick for best Manti-lore.

One of my favorite arcs, too.

Good, now the stories will be better than "OH NOES, $HERONAME, ROBOTS ARE ATTACKING! Save the world before they destabilize the dimensions!"

Yes, welcome back, Manti. You have been missed.

Welcome back Manticore, your influence has certainly been missed by the silent majority too, even if they don't realize it just yet.

YOOUUUUU!!!! Dammit! \./ You people really need to attribute authorship publicly. Since it was part of the website I thought it was Arctic's.

Ghost Widow's Journal is the piece of CoX writing with the absolute best "voice" I have ever seen. I adore it. I'm so glad it's up on a webpage where I can go back and look at it.

Write more of it. No, I'm not even kidding.

Yay!

Welcome back, Manticore...glad you to see you back on board.


Now, I have about a billion questions for ye *rolls up sleeves*...


Er, well, on second thought, I'll let you get settled in first before I start the bombardment.

Manti. We <3 you. Please write more.

Doom.

Yep.

This is really doom.

I love the Praetorians ! That's one of the coolest concepts in CoH!
I also love the beginning of CoV where you learn about Ghost Widow and about The Wretch~

Like someone else mentioned, I hope we get to hear more of the Shadow Shard story as well! I was in heaven reading the ParagonWiki article on the story of it!

If you run all of the Shard TFs and actually read what's going on, you get a pretty solid basis on what's happened there. The Cathedral of Pain was good too, although nobody has seen that place in over a year, so don't hold your breath. That being said... Manticore = love, and shard stories = love, so Manticore's continued shard stories = love^2?

Rule number six of an empathy defender is NEVER underestimate a blaster's ability to die. I don't care if he has CM, Fort, both RAs, bubbles (both FF and Sonic), and is fighting next to a Storm defender with hurricane on. If there is a way to die in that situation, the blaster will find it.

Actually no, technically Manticore=Shadow Shard Stories, according to your formulas.

I know enough to formulate a "best guess". I've never read anything involving the CoP, though. Care to enlighten, since Manti probably won't?

Doom.

Yep.

I loved those journal entries. Had the entire vibe that I'd expect of the Ghost Widow character. Honestly, excellent work. ^^

Welcome back!

And having read for the 1st time today, the Ghost Widow journals, that's a nice bit of writing.

Now write more.

So.. um... are there any plans for Villain-side praetorians? (aka, Villain missions against a Good Recluse and GW)
