Take a random forumpost from yourself from the future of CoX.

The purpose is to give an image of how you think CoX will be (Dreaming is allowed) in months, or even years in the future. If you want, you can leave the thread title of the future post.
I'll go first..


Your UI setup on new characters

Quote:
Whenever starting a new character, I set up Rest, Sprint, veteran powers and Walk button on the third row, then line up teleport powers and remaining veteran powers on the 2nd row that couldn't fit in. Then I set up the graphics so I'll be able to move around Praetoria.. Lest I collide with a miffy Clockwork again with my Dominator's Soul Control Hold on auto..


@MidnightGuard - on Union you may know me as:
Mr. Vile - Electroman X - Zenodorus - Battler
Naga Knight - Stinkspitter

Before starting the game be sure to do your daily warmup routine - last thing you want when foiling the plans of those bad guys is to pull a hamstring while wearing your 3d Enviro-suit!
For when City of Heroes turns into a full-3d visual experience... Martial Arts and so on become actual attacks you fire off by physically performing the actions!

See, this is the fundemental issue I have with games becoming more interactive with things like the Wii. I suck at things like football. I've played a few sports (field hockey & tennis mostly) but the best you could say was "At least he's enjoying it and plays fairly smart".

The last thing I want is for one of the things I'm fairly good at (gaming) to suddenly be taken away from me! I've spent years sucking at sports. I don't want to suck at one of my favourite pasttimes too.

Anybody remember what Operating System Microsoft used to make before they went bankrupt? I've got somebody trying to run CoH in an emulation mode on it and I don't remember if it supported cntrl-alt-F1 or any form of command line support

Quote from Steelclaw of the FuuuUUUuuutuuuUUUUuuure....

Top Ten Complaints About Issue 139

1) The standard Intercranial I/O port I have is outdated and won't accept the new Brain-Piercer 9000 Link Plug.

2) Super Jump is still awesome and all, but the new Hallucination Technology Graphics System is so realistic I have to take motion-sickness pills before playing.

3) This whole 8-Bit Retro thing is seriously starting to piss me off.

4) We had to wait THIS LONG to finally get bell-bottom jeans in the costume creator? And what's worse is we have to complete the entire 70's Revival Story Arc missions to unlock it!

5) Okay, seriously? The Power Customization thing is going a bit too far now. Yesterday I saw a guy do the Eagle's Claw attack by honking his opponent's nose. BaBs would be rolling over in his grave... if we hadn't preserved his brain in a pickle jar and forced it to keep working.

6) After careful consideration, I find I agree with the Devs original assumption that having female Mastermind pets was asking for trouble... especially after introducing the new "craft your own emote" feature.

7) Costume contests have been much more interesting ever since they made Atlas Park a PvP zone.

8) I really think the Devs have gone a bit overboard in their war against farming. The "diminishing XP returns for killing the same enemy type in a row" rule was ill-thought out at best.

9) I think the "realistic aging process" idea was okay. If nothing else it makes us long time veterans feel like there is some progression going on. Still, after hitting 60 they REALLY should have made Sister Psyche and Swan get new costumes.

10) I know they were running out of Vet Reward ideas by this time, but really... The Sleeping Cow Kung Fu powerset was just insulting.


My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

To claim thirty years of Vet rewards, I have to roll a character the night before I want to start playing them. The badge dings take all night.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I noticed after this Issue 231 patch, that I seem to be missing more often.
I am sure that the Devs nerfed accuracy.

Don't tell me to grab Herostats and post logs, everyone knows that impressions are more important than statistics.

Oh, I know EXACTLY where it goes from here, with my constant want of more Proliferations and power sets.

Electric Control is fun and all, but we really need Dark Control and Dark Miasma on Controllers.
Quote:
Oh man, Dark Miasma on Controllers?! Sweet! This is a lot of fun. We should get “Good Guy” Poison next.
Quote:
What kind of name is Alchemy?! Pff! We should have gotten Traps!
Quote:
Traps on Controllers ARE fun! Wow! Hmm, but there’s no natural Controlling set that matches it…
Quote:
“Gadgets” is kiiinda impressive. I’ll give you that, Devs. Still, we don’t have a buff set that matches Earth Control.
Quote:
What is this?! AM I SHIELDING MY FRIENDS WITH POOP?! Why did you do this?! You could have done a Buff Planet set instead!
Quote:
I don’t get the science behind a Venus fly trap devouring a target, and then they rez, but you guys gave it your best shot.

You gave the Stone sets to Stalkers?! Was there nothing left?! Oh… There was nothing left. Well then… Give me a Bo Staff.

This will be all the rage in the Kheldian Community:

Quote:
Awesome job on finally giving Kheldians Human-form mez protection Devs, but what is this BLOCK power that we have to activate exactly when a mezzing attack lands on us?!


I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

The "Coming Storm Arrives" event they unleashed as the in-game explanation for shutting the servers down for good should've had some explanation for why the enemies that spawned everywhere were just renamed Rikti, Nemesis, and Shivans. I'm also not sure having the badge for defeating 100 of them unlock the Flying Nemesis Pony Thingy travel pool power set made sense.

[N.B. The post's snarkiness is intended as parody, but I do believe the Coming Storm's actual arrival will be the game-ending event. We may see more foreshadowing about it, more story arcs about it, and all sorts of things, but I don't expect the storm itself to "arrive" as long the game lives; it's more effective as a looming threat.]

I don't think that's what they have in mind

i honestly think they added too many things to the halloween event. I mean seriously, between the zombie invasions, deadly apocalypses, reality rifts, sewer mutant rebellions, portals to hell, lyncanthropic invasions and chaos floods i can't find a single zone that has any normal spawns.

Edit: Lets see people farm with a motion senser on them!

although they're pretty stereotypical sci-fi, I gotta say the new "aliens bursting from the ceiling" element in Rikti missions is a riot! kudos, devs! Now if you could just make some new maps to go with all this great stuff...

Oh, and that upcoming baby crawl, is that just an emote, or is an actual power, like walking? If so, is it slottable?
well you said dreaming allowed!
