Our conversation at the players summit was one of my favorite parts of the night. You're an awesome guy and I wish you the best, mate.

You guys give our ideas and dreams a reality. There is no true way to show gratitude for such a deed. So let me just say "Thank you," and know that those words do not fully capture what I mean.
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
You are my favourite unlockable contact redside, I imagine the grind to unlock you is nothing compared to the crunching and testing you go through on a daily basis.
Cheers and good luck.

Whoa, Laura and Graham's arcs are yours? I just ran those two arcs for the first time last week, and they're both incredible! Very well-written, nuanced, I love the morality options you're continually given throughout each of them. Without being too spoilery, I love how the outdoor map mission in Collateral Damage encourages the player to use one particular strategy and then suddenly denies you that tactic, and how later you realize that what happened on that map perfectly symbolizes the antagonist's motives and the problems with them. And on a very different note, I actually laughed out loud when one of Graham's mission briefings had him simply grumbling to himself while my character rolls her eyes and decides to follow a lead on her own. Normally I don't like it when the mission writing assumes too much about my character, but that was totally worth it. |

After that, I started in on Issue 22, where I did the Dark Astoria repeatable missions (Maharaj for villains, Ephram Sha for heroes), and some mid-level storyarcs. My arcs were: Collateral Damage - Laura Lockhart (Hero) Last Rites - Graham Easton (Hero) Destiny Follows - Bane Spider Ruben (Villain) What Schemes May Come - Brother Hammond (Villain) After I22 launched, I was assigned the second signature storyarc, Pandora's Box. There were five arcs in that set, but only three of them made it to live. The fourth and fifth arcs are on beta, but players needed to get a code from Alpha Wolf to test them, so they're not widely available. |

And if the third part of the Ongoing Training Missions means the Shining Stars, the dialogue between Twinshot and Proton as you're going through the map and then that final confrontation with the villains, then between that, Graham and Laura, you have just become my favorite writer in the game.
To present yourself so modestly, you did some absolutely great writing! Thanks for all you did for the game, and here's to hoping we'll somehow get to play through lots more of your stories.

Thanks for your work on CoH, Viridian. QA can be rough, but it's very, very important. I'm glad you were able to move up into a designer position. I hope you are doing well, and are able to continue to do design work on a game you love.

Dear Ryan 'Viridian' Greene,
Thank you and everyone at Paragon Studios for City of Heroes! Not only the people we know but those we don't know, like QA. I'm glad to see all of us working together to keep this going! The Awesome factor in this MMO community has really come out during this crisis. I am hoping that Paragon Studios and CoH will come thru better than ever after this. Just like when we team and league it up in-game, I'm hopeful that with the combined efforts of the community and dev team(s) and Titan Network et al we'll be able to proceed with Issue 24 and beyond to realize the plans and dreams of the development team for City of Heroes. Thanks again for everything!
