The only thing I remember about Golden Girl is their insufferable smiley usage and endless posts of absolutely nothing of value on the forums, and the fact that they exclusively played Martial Arts/Regen Scrappers.

Which is an exceptionally :mediocre: combination but iirc it's literally all they would play. And they had tons of them. Just over and over.

Golden Girl was a super prolific poster on the live servers that ended every post with a ;) she made the same character multiple times, Martial Arts/Regen scrapper all the way to 50. not on different servers, or different alts. delete, start over, grind to 50. Had a Power-Girl look, was very Max Boob.

I know Golden Girl ended up on one of the follow up projects like City of Titans, but i cant remember which one. i want to say Valiance. Obnoxious furry on Champions is a bit too wide of category to narrow it down.

Oh god, that's right. She promptly started up her own revival project and I think every art asset shown was made in Poser and there's approximately 0% chance there's anything of value there.

She also had a DeviantArt account full of Poser pictures of her Power Girl knockoff that just had that "you know they're making porn with this" sorta vibe.

It's a perfect day for some mayhem!


The thing about raid in CoH is that they were chasing the dream of a different MMO, not the loving one they were in charge of.

Having some big group content is great but gating stuff behind it was dumb.

More people would have been happy with gating stuff behind multiple 50s. Get a scrapper to 50 unlock costume parts. Get a broad sword set to 50 unlock bonus swords for your other sword users. Follow TF2 and have unlockable tradable hats.

I think you'd still have other people mad you couldn't get it on one character and have similar whining about having to make alts. Really, having both as an option is good! i26's rates on drops and just giving you 20 empyrean merits every 3 levels past 50 is cool because nothing is locking you out of anything except for a couple of badges. You get all the costume stuff and everything else is unlocked in stores. With the market having been seeded there's very little you need to worry about playing the AH either.

This, The Super Hero genre is uniquely suited to MMOs solving a bunch of issues.
But raids don't work, Very few things need that many heroes and they are big drat deals, thanos is not something you farm until you can get 6 shards of each of the 6 infinity stones and this takes you a six months. After which you have to fight Infinite Thanos for HEROIC Infinity stones.

Also Raid mechanics tend to shaft a lot of the CoX archetypes. Oh the boss is immune to CC&Debuffs? Welp hope you didn't build....wait there's 4/10 archetypes around those things?

She was a massive know-it-all on the forums, telling everyone exactly how they ought to play. She had over twenty thousand forum posts, but at least half were a single emoticon. When playing, she had to be the leader of every team, and told each and every person exactly what to do. And she played essentially the same character over and over and over, an MA/reflex scrap.

When the game closed, she briefly joined with Nate's team to make the spiritual successor, but quickly left due to 'creative differences' (i.e. they refused to follow her every whim). She started to make her own game, Heroes and Villains. For the next six years, Heroes and Villains has given us a friday update each and every week, telling us how wonderfully the game is coming along and all the amazing features it will have. Other than two 'demos' that were not at all made in Poser, that's all we've seen of this mystical game. The site's forum is totally deserted.

IIRC she also got really... weird when the game closed. I wish I could find her posts but they were borderline "Maybe the FBI should get involved" weird and involved threats

There's a really dumb form of PvP called Gladiator, where each player recruits some mobs to fight on their side. Absolutely no one plays it, ever.

John Murdoch feels about raids they way I feel about AE. I just loving hate it and wish it didn't exist. I have to check myself for constantly assuming anyone that uses it is a 15 yo power gamer that only plays "badass" grimdark brutes and scrappers like xXSATIN69Xx. I know it's not true, but I can't help reflexively thinking it.

She also wouldn't play redside on any iteration of her character, like it was against her religion or something.
