Hope you're still around in twenty or thirty years when I can go to one of these. 
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.
Woo hoo! I ordered my tickets a few weeks ago! Can not wait! 
pohsyb: so of all people you must be most excited about the veats
Arachnos Commander: actually, I am
pohsyb: I mean you kinda were one already anyways ^_^
Arachnos Commander:
Ugh. wonder if tickets will still be available at the middle of Febuary. Id LOVE to go. Hope were blown away by a secret powerset or new AT ... Oh and a preview of Judgement powers would be the icing on the cake......( I can dream cant I?)

Unfortunately I can't tweet and video at the same time, but I will see about getting some video during the M&G and during PAX in general, maybe in the Panel line, last year we played Cthulu dice and zombie dice while waiting. So if someone else has a video camera you might want to do that for the panel.
I will be using the #coh hash tag during the panel and the M&G.
Hope everyone has a good time. alass i cant aford to travel there from the UK so any video coverage and twitter/facebook like stuff would be awesome

So I am in the position where the convention and the meet-n-greet are literally across the street from my office (John Hancock HQ). If any Devs want a tour of an Insurance giant just let me know in advance!
I have my 3 day pass all set, and am super-duper psyched to have the party on Friday night as Sat is my daughter's birthday and Sun is my wife's birthday. I have to make sure not to have too good a time Fri night as I am due to host an American Girl brunch for 12 on Sat morning. 
If any of the Paragon staff wants to grab a drink in the area, I am happy to pick up the tab!
Is Posi going to offer up any D-n-D sessions before the convention hits?
Go Team Venture!

IT'S A TRAP!!
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
It's in the hotel connected by skybridge? GREAT! That'll make this a lot easier for folks like me with disabilities to attend, compared to some random bar in the city. Thanks! I'm really looking forward to seeing you guys again. (I was at the PAX East panel asking nosy questions about MA.)
edit: Scratch that. Apparently I'm not likely going to PAX. My roommate booked a hotel in Alabama, not Boston, and the only ones left are by shuttlebus (which I can't physically take.) I hate my life right now.

For now though... send me a postcard from your magnificent journeys.

Cant wait to see the new I20 info:
Martial arts secondary for blasters.
Warwalls down.
Character creator upgrade.
Judgement slot!
BAF trials
Only one and half month away
Quote:
Don't know if it will be all that, but I do have compounding suspicions regarding the super sekrit signed NDA beta i20 business based on the panel inclusions. Thinking the Senior Environment Artist wasn't just a random grab from their bullpen for this one. And the timing is right for some initial i20 images.|

Also, the timing seems a little bit late based on how much info is already available regarding the beastly super booster. Thinking that will hit the NC store sometime mid February.
Finally! An event for me to sport my Coh arseless chaps
My last post was more my wish list, but theres nothing too impossible there.
I also hope we can finally see the new Ultramode loading screens for all zones from the contest.
I wish the warwalls are down finally, Im really sick of them, specially after GR.
I love Praetorian maps, buildings and environments too much!
Just to give folks a heads up who went to PAX last year, it is NOT in the same location.
Last year it was at the Hynes Convention Center, and this year it is in the new Boston Convention Center. I only say this because both venues have a Westin Hotel nearby.

It would be a bold move on the part of Paragon, but a total facelift might really pay off. Anyways, like I said, I have my own growing suspicions with the inclusion of Ryan Roth on the panel. Just don't want to wish too hard for a pony... too easy to get disappointed! |

Happy to help, I added my info into my original post for people who don't have it but want to follow when the weekend comes up. I'm going to be smart this year for PAX East unlike at Prime and make sure I have an extra battery with me for my phone. |

But I'll relay from the Panel just like last time. I have Verizon so I don't have the connection issues a lot of other people seemed to have for PAX Prime. Probably put Negami on picture duty.
Going to Pax, hopefully I'll be able to get to these events (depending on other stuff as my eyes will probably be bulging from the sheer awesomeness of the entire weekend).
Convention time is fast approaching, so we're kicking off 2011 with a return to PAX East in Boston, Massachusetts! Last year was our first foray into the East Coast convention scene, and we had such a great time we couldn't wait to come back. This year once again, we’re planning a panel, prizes, and the chance to hang out with representatives of the developer and community teams from Paragon Studios.
Here's what we have in store:
To start things off, we wanted to let you know that Friday, March 11 at 10:30 AM, Paragon's own Matt "Positron" Miller will be on a Newsarama panel entitled, "Game Comics: Lifting the Curse," where Matt and other panelists will discuss what the pitfalls of video game-based comic books currently are, how to make them better, and what the future of this subgenre could be.
Then, on Friday night, we'll be hosting a combined NCsoft Meet and Greet with Aion and Guild Wars. There will plenty of fun and socializing, not to mention an awesome raffle where fantastic prizes will be up for grabs…if you have the right ticket, of course!
Here are the exact details:
What: NCsoft PAX East Meet and Greet
When: Friday, March 11, 6 PM to 10 PM
Where: Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel, Harbor Room
425 Summer Street
Boston, Massachusetts 02210
(617) 532-4600
Because this event free to our players, please keep in mind admission will be granted to the capacity of the venue.
As anyone who’s attended one of our events before knows, Meet and Greets just wouldn’t be the same without giveaways, so City of Heroes players who attend the event will be rewarded with their choice of one of the following costume powers:
• Meat Doctor Costume Inherent Power
• Rikti Mentalist Costume Inherent Power
• Praetorian Police Costume Inherent Power
• Ghoul Costume Inherent Power
• Freakshow Boss Costume Inherent Power
• Carnival of Shadow Harlequin Costume Inherent Power
• PPD Hardsuit Costume Inherent Power
• Praetorian Clockwork Costume Inherent Power
• Knives of Artemis Costume Inherent Power
• Carnival of Shadows Ring Mistress Costume Inherent Power
Last but certainly not least, CoH will be throwing a panel stacked with members of our Dev Team on the Saturday of PAX East weekend, so if you’re considering whether or not to attend the convention based on our participation, go ahead and buy your tickets! Here is the info we currently have to share about the panel session (more specifics coming soon!):
What: CoH PAX East Panel Session
When: Saturday, March 12, 12 PM to 1 PM
Who: Nate “Second Measure” Birkholz, Matt “Positron” Miller and Senior Environment Artist, Ryan Roth.
We’ll keep you updated on all further PAX East developments, but right now is a good time to mark your calendars for some City of Heroes quality time!
We look forward to having you join us for an awesome PAX East weekend!
