Remember those Points cards we wanted?

When the CoH Freedom market went live, many of us started to ask for ways to buy points for other people. One common suggestion was "Paragon Points Cards", which could be sold in stores. We could buy them for ourselves, or pass the code on to someone else for them to get the points.
We never got them, naturally. NC Soft couldn't be bothered. Well, GW2 just got them. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/g...ect-retailers/ |

I wouldn't call the keys worth getting. I've never gotten anything worthwhile out of a chest. You get several keys from completing zones and story quests. I would never buy keys.
I bought a couple $15.00 cards in anticipation of the Halloween goodies they said would be in the store...but you are right...other than keys to those Black Lion locked boxes I keep getting in drops there is not much worth buying.
What race/class are you most liking Dispari? I am torn between Ranger and Warrior as my favorite. Grin. I play my little Asurian Ranger as a Blapper with a pet ![]() Lisa. |
I have a level 80 human necromancer (20 spite, 30 death, 20 blood). I use all the pets (except the wurm, meh). Interestingly this GW2 necro is a reroll of my CoV necro MM, who was a reroll of my GW1 necro. This one character has managed to live through three games and be represented fairly well. I even think the personality of the GW2 storyline and stuff she says fits with her (in that era).
Other than that I have a level 30 sylvari warrior, 26 human thief (named after my main from CoH but sadly nowhere near as fun to play), 18 human guardian, and 10 sylvari engineer. I REALLY tried making a Norn and hated their storyline and personality. I also don't like asura or charr.
I'm on Gate of Madness with some friends. You can find me with Sudona Forte, Flora Nuali, Victoria Noir, Mitsu Kalos, and Amanita Mycetism.

Wouldn't it be a kicker if it was the fact that the end game, the incarnates, was locked behind teaming that did us in?

Maybe some NCsoft exec was a soloing in City Of Heroes, and when he could not incarnate out his level 50 he shook his fists at whomever implanted the system and vowed his revenge.
Sounds silly, but, you never know.

But, you did say you have a Necromancer? I wanted to make one, but made the mistake of reading their forums, and gathered that they are not very survivable...I may have to rethink.
Anyways, I am playing on Borlis Pass. Alice Bean is my Asurian Ranger, Errol Bean is my Human Warrior, and Ingibjorg Bean is my Norn Guardian. My guild is House Of Bean

Dunno why they shouldn't be survivable. I get all kinds of health siphoning, the highest HP class, lots of armor, ranged attacks, pets to take hits for me, conditions and boons (I can perma regen). I'm more survivable than my girlfriend playing her guardian.

Those were the $20 game cards, and they did have them with the other MMO cards but I'm talking the $15 30 day NCSoft time cards. Those were hard to find and locked up. Sadly the one Best Buy in my area that had time cards available but locked up a few years ago still has the $20 game cards of CoH on display as of a few days ago.

I have a very strong feeling that for a long time, some people with a lot of power (although not unlimited power) have wanted City of Heroes to be axed for a very long time. I am sure these individuals got in the way of many things over time.

I may be reading too much into it, but War Witch's post, specially this bit:

and I was especially proud of Brian, Destin, and Ross who fought so hard for the studio every single day since we opened the doors. More than any of us will ever know, I am sure. |
The entire thing brings to mind the story behind the cancelation of the original Doctor Who. There was a struggle of power within the BBC, some people with enough power that either wanted more control, bigger spotlight or plainly hated the show did all they were able to sabotage production. Taking away budget all the time until eventually finally they were able to convince the BBC the show had to be canceled.

I looked into it. All the people complaining are just talking about PvP, usually in 1 on 1 settings.

My necromancer does great in PvE. She's really durable and versatile and lots of fun.

Although I like being able to convert gold into points.
