Who will win, no one knows!! If you can think of a story, tell me please  I really like this idea : DNext zone Hell Norther Hell (Heroes) We heroes must stand together! We must stop the Circles from unleashing all the demons including Satan! The foolish Circles think they can control Satan, No one not even Infernal can do that! ((Well I can be wrong because he is not my hero lol)) Southern Hell (Villain) Help the Circles control Satan, let him rise to kill all! Sadly, you and the Circles will need to fight him to put him back... Dang traitor! Guess no one can control Satan. Central Hell (PVP) This can be a level 45-50 zone. This is where the heroes guard the giant hole, or portal so Satan can't get out, the villains must kill the heroes to break Satan free from Hell! I am sure someone, like the Dev can think of a good stroy for this... I want to have god's powers lol and kill Satan eather one works What do you think? |
While I'm partial to this idea I don't see the devs working on a "Heaven" or "Hell". They already don't want us using religous names in our characters. Maybe if the names were changed to something like The Elysian Fields and Hades . . .
I'll have to go with Forbin on this.
Reading the CoH Cannon, it seems they're stick with Greek/Roman mythology for anything deity related.
Now they might have other non Greek/Roman mythology in the game, and I jsut haven't noticed it yet, but I think even Mu/CoT link somehow to it.
I'm also trying to find out if people know Statesman and Recluse are incarnates publicly, or just as background flavor.

For example, Bolg is essentially the neolithinc version of Zeus.|

Sreng/Streng (a boss in CoH) was a champion of the Fir Bolg. Eochaid mac Eirc (see: Eochai; a Fir Bolg GM) was their king. Bres (a Tuatha boss in CoH) was the king of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
Short answer: Yes, there is non greco-roman mythology in the game.

My vote is that they're either called: The Netherworld and Celestia or Paradiso and Inferno
Let's try not to never mind that the former example would have enemies at least ten times max player levels and deal damage against us that could only be represented in scientific notations.

I just didn't think of them, because when I think of them, I don't think of deities, but rather more of a mystical race.

I'm ambivalent towards the idea, but if this goes through and they do decide to go Greek with the theme, I sincerely hope they use the term Tartarus instead of Hades.|

I get that in popular fiction, Hades is often depicted as Greek Hell, so it's not unlikely that in CoH, they go with what is truth in popular conscience. It just kinda bugs me that that often means Tartarus gets ignored when it's a lot closer to your typical hell already.
Eh...
I'd rather not have my heroes going to "Heaven" kicking butt, and then coming back. I don't think there's a way to make it anything but nonsensical.
Aquatic Zone and Moon Zone, please.

Tartarus is fine with me. My point was that due to the fact that certain people are touchy about the names Power suggested so alternative names should/would get used.

Who are you and what have you done with Power?!?!
This idea isn't horrible, ridiculous and completely nonsensical, therefore I deduce that you are an IMPOSTER!!!
