Goddammit I can't open that gdoc on my iPad or phone.  I can see the PDF list but the links don't actually function. Not sure if it's thanks to google docs hating Apple or that it's a zip, or what. I'll have to go save it when I get home. I'm such a complete lore whore too. And 6 yessss please do a LOST DOG sequel, best loving AE mission ever. BARK BARK BARK

I remember my friends and I doing that the first time. One of them wondered what would happen when we finished "Opening" the truck. ARROOOOOOO remains the greatest piece of text in MMO history.

When Ouroboros first opened, I assumed one of the reasons for the whole "mending the timestream" business was so that we could mess around in all sorts of goofy time-travel scenarios. Like the day Nemesis became Emperor of America, doesn't that seem like a staggeringly obvious opportunity for a mission arc? Rally the heroes in Europe, get the President to safety, beat up Nemesis on the steps of the Supreme Court? The lore had plenty of opportunities for that, but no follow-through. Which is really true of a lot of things in CoH -- great at introducing stuff, bad at resolving it. (I consider the follow-through on Praetoria the exception, I'd have loved to see more of that in other areas.) The design docs talk about possible future plans, some of which could have been really great. The Clockwork King coming into his own as a major high-powered threat, for instance. Or Vahzilok becoming more dangerous as he refines his technology. LOVE those sorts of premises. CoH spent so long being timid about the status quo, though, most of it was just wasted. Blowing up Galaxy City was a start, but talk about late in the game. Even something like "new" Faultline (remember when it was new?) was basically a self-contained exercise with no major impact on the world outside the zone. Statesman was another one, but it doesn't look like we'll really get to see the world REACT to that change. I guess the counterpoint might be the fall of the Column and the rise of the Council, but that was so badly blundered it's difficult to count. I think a good shake-up would've left us shaking our heads at the before-and-after but the slapdash cut and paste job was a disappointment.

TonyV has put out a Call To Action, asking us to send handwritten letters via certified mail to NCSoft. E-mails and petitions can be filtered as spam, but a desk full of handwritten letters is a little harder to ignore.

For those who don't know, Avilans were supposed to be an epic AT that used wings. Wings were previously A Big Deal, and they thought they'd have to integrate them heavily into a character model to work. Sort of like how Arachnos Soldiers actually have individual fingers, but only in their exclusive uniform costume slot.

While we wait on Cu to put up a gw2 thread, I just wanted to drop in and say this is some of the poo poo I can craft for the lowbies: Pistols, longbows (TRIGGER WARNING), shortbows, torches, horns, rifles and harpoon guns with the following level reqs/stat bonuses: Level 10: +Condition damage, +Vitality, +power Level 15: +Healing, +Precision (crit), +Toughness I can also make you earrings and rings with the following level reqs/stat bonuses: Level 10: +Condition damage, +Vitality, +power Level 15: +Healing, +Precision (crit), +Toughness I have materials for most of these. I have a fuckton of logs and a decent bit of leather and metal. The stat bonuses require a few extra bits, though. I'm Tsurupettan.9624, playing as Serentyl Aerist currently, so if you want something tell me. It's free! e: I have 4 precision earrings and a ring sitting in my bank too. In two skill levels, I can also make necklaces and some wacky rear end mixed stat jewelry which is probably level 20? Tsurupettan fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Sep 4, 2012 |

Alright, i don't know about the rest of you. but I generally played with the sound off. Hearing my cyborg dude grunt like Arnold with every jump got old pretty hast. But there are some sounds from this game that will never, ever leave my memory. the new enhancement slot noise. The socketing an enhancement noise, the sad little enhancement combination failure bloop. And the Atlas park music. I looked on youtube, and I can't find the songs anywhere. Somebody please, figure out how to get them out of the files and upload them. Cuchulain fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Sep 4, 2012 |

it's possible, but a lot of features of the game will be locked out, with no way to even enable them now that they've stopped taking subscriptions/microtransactions. you can still make like, two characters i think, as most of the archetypes. if you had any old characters they're likely locked, or their inventions have been shut off, or something else like that. really kind of highlights how bad their free to play model was.

How to cause people in Pocket D to flip their poo poo: /Bind (key) "beginchat /e ultimatepower". Press that key every few seconds.

There's no subscription fee so even if you totally hate GW2, it won't cost you anything past the game purchase and you can go sit in one of the cities somewhere and chat with us and pretend you are in Pocket D oh god  Anyone who wants an invite can basically send a tell to anyone who posted in this thread, I think everyone has invite privileges. Add "Lettuce Fight" (should show as global Starkravingmad.somenumber) and I can invite if you whisper me (I think).

Well this sucks. While Starsiege was the game of my youth, City of Heroes was the game of my adolescence. One of my friends volunteered to help demo the game at some convention in 2005, and apparently they told him the password for their "PR accounts." Naturally our little group of friends logged in, made ugly-rear end heroes and played for free for a few years. They eventually disabled all hundred or so accounts when one of us hit 50, and that's when I started paying for the game. I made Designated Diver, a Willpower/Ice tank, and painfully made my way to 50. Then I found you guys. Oh, the memories. Edit: Also, thank you for making Gaydolf Shitler a reality. rarbatrol fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Sep 4, 2012 |

I just realized I'll never be able to watch the Doctor Who episode The Empty Child right again, because at the start the TARDIS makes the Twilight Grasp sound. One of the Peacebringer power sounds is also played in Smells Like Nirvana, but I can probably survive hearing that without getting nostalgic.

I have played city of heroes on and off for close to half my life now, which is hard to believe. When the game launched I was only 11 years old and now I'm 20. I spent the majority of it playing with a group of good people over on the infinity server, but in just the last year I started to play with goons a lot. Even though I've only been around a little while I'm gonna miss you guys, especially BMU, Baka, Tommy, Val, concles, and Pope. I haven't had a steam account in years but I'm definitely going to sign up to keep in touch. (This is @UH OH)

You didn't give me a shout out I am so mad at you. < >I always thought it was weird that we both played on Infinity for 7 years and apparently didn't know each other. Despite, you know, being the only two people on that server. You know what I'll never forget? The Simian Defense Force. Those guys were hilarious.

You don't have to do anything really for them to start getting lovely in Pocket D. Anything that is not directly kissing someone's rear end or agreeing with someone who is kissing someone's rear end is pretty much a strike out with them. They can't hang with any other kind of RP. God forbid you interrupt while they're all standing around doing air guitar emotes or something. Since not much playing has been going on..I've been walking around hoping to coax some of the backstories of people and I'm getting nothing out of them. That whole "huh? oh...why...yes!" or "hmmn' poo poo followed by nothing just makes me think someone on the other end is on downers. And if they're not Emo they're just trying to one up each other. They could take their little party to Second Life and have just as much "fun" as they do in CoH.

All reading this story bible is doing is a) making me appreciate Nemesis even more because everything actually was a Nemesis Plot before the Nemesis Plot meme and b) making me more and more willing to perform actual murder for the current edition of the story bible. I think I would choke an old man in his home for the current edition of the story bible.

I just got the email from support. [quote] We would first like to thank you for your support of City of Heroes. It is never easy to make this kind of decision. You can read the official announcement at http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/news/news_archive/thank_you.php. There is a discussion on the forums that you are free to join at http://boards.cityofheroes.com/shoSo wthread.php?t=295621. For refunds of unused time or unspent Paragon Points, we will be contacting those players directly with information. Please watch the website for any official updates as soon as they are available. City of Heroes will be available for at least the next three months. We are working on something special for our VIP and Premium players. As soon as these plans are ready, they will be announced on the website and the forums. Regards, The City of Heroes Support Team [/quote/ AT LEAST 3 months. That's actually a long time to enjoy the game and could be longer if the community support keeps up. Would be cool if that something special was I24, the new pools and powers and yet another 3 month extension beyond this one.

Sorry Cuchu, I never played with you all that much. I do remember the Simians, it was rather traumatic since they were my first exposure to furries on the internet. I was part of a supergroup that was pretty well known on infinity named dUmb (we put the u in dumb).

Also, could I make a website from this new sub-sub-sub-sub genre and make mad bank from it? Cuchulain posted:Come play the new game with us when it's over. We have most of the goonbros back already. I dunno man, can I make a robot or a warforged or something in this brave new world?

Think of Guild Wars 2 as ArenaNet's. They're owned by NCSoft but based in Washington, so they're only accepting money from the Devil rather than being the Devil. Also: Every time a Freakshow chops off a limb, Dr. Vahzilok buys it.

Vaz only show up at lower levels and the Banished are higher. But aside from some of the mask bosses being annoying, Banished Minions and most of their Lieutenants are just complete punks, even after accounting for having more powers by the time you tackle them. Let's see, toxic spewing science zombies who also smack you around that undead countering items to LESS damage to. Compared to slow weak pistols and the occasionally club or girly slap dark cult zombies what a temp power smacks around like a bitch. Lore Wise I know they got the whole Dark Gods and are responsible for Dark Astoria, but from a fear and difficulty standpoint, they the Banished are a relief to see compared to the Vaz. EDIT: I got GW2 the other day, a City Of Goonsquad thing in it's proper forum/thread would probably be welcome. Even if I don't keep at GW2 when I eventually transition back to Champions for my robot murdering supervillains fix.

So, the devs have these little gold titles they can hand out to players with set durations that can say whatever they want. Typically they just pass these out at events or whatever, but an interesting one cropped up as of late. In the last Coffee Talk video on their channel, there was also a bit where Zwill was flipping through multiple camera angles, and had text onscreen that read "Insert Kickstarter URL Here". A backer is a term for someone who contributes to a Kickstarter. The plot thickens?
