Go Go IDF Ranger.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Wow. Four CoH-related panels, plus the Meet & Greet, plus they're on the showfloor the whole time. I'm normally not happy that I can never attend these conventions... but this one is really killing me.
Can't wait to see you guys there.

Will make Saturday, at least.

Congratulations, PS, for putting a massive amount of effort into giving the game and the studio a strong event presence and the player community some very cool things to see and do!
Now, if only I didn't live the other side of the globe...
I won't be at PAX itself, unfortunately, but I *will* be at the M&G, and maybe even bringing brownies!

I didn't see Aveata's name listed anywhere, is she not going to Pax? you know what that means if she's staying home?
The Coh panels aren't going to be as pretty as last year.
So what time will you be showing up at the Elephant & Castle? I am heading to Seattle on that day for my one day off for the next few weeks.
If anyone gets an IDF Ranger code they don't want, I have a number of the earlier codes I'd be willing to trade for it.
PM me for a list if interested.

Woo!
I actually have some buddies at Catalyst going to PAX this year! So I might be able to snag my first-ever costume codes for myself!

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Sounds great. Since PAX isn't being held over Labor Day weekend this year, maybe you could send someone to DragonCon in Atlanta, too. We hold CoH panels every year there, with really nice turn-outs, despite the lack of support.
How about just sending one person to say Hello?
Please try my arcs:
Arc# 63910 "Why Do Bad Girls Like Bad Boys?" (length=Long, levels 40+)
Arc# 401500 "How to Be a Successful Professional Criminal" (length=Very Long, levels 1-10)
aren't they making a big announcement at PAX too? I thought there was something in the Stream Chat about this?
They're announcing the name of the VIP server. Also, I imagine they'll give us a Freedom release date. With booster/boxed copies and free trials retiring at the end if this month, I would speculate on a September release.

Jinrazuo - Crab Spider
RWZ All-Pylon Solo Run
Did anyone tweet the panel today?
Current Published Arcs
#1 "Too Drunk to be Alcoholic" Arc #48942
#2 "To Slay Sleeping Dragons" Arc #111486
#3 "Stop Calling Me"

I've looked but haven't seen anything. If they did announce anything awesome, I haven't seen talk about it.

You're right. The only new stuff Friday was a title graphic for part two of the "Who Will Die" signature stories and a shot of old west/high tech costume concept art for gunslingers and saloon girls. |

Well today will tell the tale.

They changed the slide just before I could get a shot of the gunslinger concept art. The teaser image is in my camera. I can't pull it off there to post until I get home next week. |

I'll take pics today with my phone so i can post them. Internet acess in the convention hall is poor so I probably won't be able to post anything until I'm back at my hotel in the evening.
If there is huge news I'll post something but I can't guarantee pics until later.
