On one hand, there's still plenty I want to do in game before it ends, on the other hand, I'm so exhausted from the grief that I can't being myself to actually play. Hopefully my girlfriend can enjoy her new Dominator for a little while I really, really hope there's a private server or CoH2 down the line.

I was behind her at the time hitting her with my dick.  I think the exact wording you used was a little different. We really need to find a new You know what gently caress It. I'm going to Virtue Verse and adding every. Single. Goon. We were a part of this game, and it's world, and if JOSH the superhomo and the million big titty dick girls get to stay alive on some RP Website, I'll be DAMNED if they aren't joined by Mighty Thunk, Big Metal Unit and MEESE.

Failing whatever Tony has in mind, there are some way indie-er efforts at trying to get ye olde issue 3 client working. I believe there was one other group trying to get the issue 0 client going, but I don't have a link to them handy.

I kind of hope for his sake he's capable of doing this. For all this, I think the Titan Network guys are the players hit second-hardest by the game ending; they've put so much work into this, it'll almost be wasted if the game completely shuts. The only guys that have it worse than them are the CoX Forum Superstars - Golden Girl and Arcanaville specifically. I don't know if they do anything outside of this game. The Titan Network guys at least clearly have the expertise to work in web or software design if they don't already, and can use their work with CoX in a portfolio. If the game completely dies, what's Arcana got to show for it? Encyclopedic knowledge of the mechanics of a completely dead game? EDIT: Get me a working offline character creator, with everything we have now, and I'll go in peace.

Right around the time that the Korean launch was happening, there was a client that ran the costume creator and saved outfits without needing to be online. Someone go find the City of Hero Costume Creator and rig it to work with i23+ pieces.

Even with all the silly puns and gimmicks I made, a handful of my characters feel akin to things I've drawn, things I've written, things I've built. In fact I've never put hundreds of hours into one story or drawing but I have multiple characters sitting at over 500 hours. Where else can I create and play a giant robot with a squishy human sidekick? Or a former nazi who thinks he is a robot from space after being bashed on the head? Or a proud alien warrior who accidentally merged with A Special Boy?

Me too, they've done ridiculous amounts of work for the game. Most of them do it as a passion project/side thing, so it's really not that big an impact aside from it freeing tons of spare time. Arcana runs her own business as a tech consultant or something like that, so I'm sure she's fine. GG's probably in some sort of coma by now.

Gonna see if I can at least dig up the saved costumes and see if they still work for shits.

Project time, we need to get together on our favorite characters in Pocket D and recreate the opening scene from Cheers, set it to music, and post a farewell video. Edit: I just found out I might be literally homeless in like a week. As in the place I have been crashing will no longer be available and I'll literally be living on the street. I'm going to have to take care of that. Hopefully I'll have some time to play before the game shuts down but if not, it's been a pleasure, Goons.

There's just something incredibly depressing about the fact that once this shuts down, not only will we as individuals no longer be able to create play and otherwise enjoy our characters, but nobody else ever will be able to experience it or run around through the game world taking in the sights and the feel of things. Nobody will get to take part in the world that Cryptic and Paragon put together, it'll all be no more than a bunch of numbers in some files. Like, maybe people will still be able to watch lovely youtube videos of freakshow farming five years from now, but it won't really be the same thing. Old movies you'll still have video, old games you can generally still play with some effort into DOSBox or whatever, but an old MMO? Gone forever, like furry tears in Pocket D. (ignoring the possibility of a server emulator) I never really played much with Goons and had a really on-off relationship with the game, and have been in my off-cycle for a while, but I'm still legitimately super bummed about this. What sort of world do we live in where City of Heroes dies yet Champions Online lives?

Section Z posted:Dance. Make you beautiful minions dance the night away. The demons can use some of the emotes, but not all. It's one of the few ways to get them to shut the gently caress up. And yes, they can dance, and it's pretty glorious. I'll miss MMs, as they were a pretty unique formulation of the pet class. Every other MMO seems to do the boring WoW variation of "you get one pet that essentially tanks while you dps from range." The only other one I can think of that gave you multiple pets and let you concentrate on buffing/control/pet management was Anarchy Online's Metaphysicist, which was a pretty cool class too. But it didn't have Gang War. Nothing will ever match Gang War.

The Wu-Time Clan, an alien from the future who traveled back in time to assemble the greatest rap squad ever known. They really only fight because he keeps telling the Clan that the bad guys have Ol' Dirty's money and won't pay up.

Honestly, not getting a hold of the IP is the easiest fix. Everything in the game was fairly derivative to begin with. If the Paragon guys do decide to get together for a spiritual sequel, just shuffle names, powersets, and gimmicks around and give a nudge-nudge wink-wink about the multiverse being "Superboy Primed" at some point in the recent past. "I am the Great Enemy! With my Cyberpunk legions I have conquered dozes of realities, and I will conquer Paradigm City!" Nemesis and the Freakshow trade gimmicks, you've got steam powered Freak tanks with tophats and monocles and cyberpunk Fake Nemesis leading troops of battle orbs and shadoww run knock offs.

I am going to have to go back and check out the posts from the last couple of days, but I have to throw in how sad I am to see this goes. I kept meaning to go back and try out the new poo poo and spend time with some old favorites but never got around to it. I've made a few honest to God friends across the country from this game and echo the sentiments that there was no GS like CoH GS. All the rest loving sucked next to you guys. I'll have some screenshots incoming some time soon. Busy with my girlfriend this weekend (and I'm sure many of you remember me playing with my now soon-to-be-ex-wife, so obviously my life has changed a bit since I started back in 2004), but I'll dig into the external hard drive to see if they're backed up there or if they're lost forever. I'm going to have to log in to play my Red Blur Architect mission one last time before this thing goes dark if I can. I'm sadder about that going away than anything else in this game.
