Grats!

Now you just need a MoKTF (Khan)

Been happening non-stop for me since they started fiddling around with the forums over the past couple of weeks. I don't stay logged in for more than 20 minutes before I am forced to log in again.

All three browsers are having the same issue for me.

And I know people will hate me for posting spoilers......














but the butler did it! :O

I've been in APB beta since it launched. (Actually, I was so sick of the game I asked to be removed.) If you like Grand Theft Auto and having a lot of people that are l33t, then this is your game.

As much as I like GTA, and basically this is just a jacked up version... if the people I ran into on Beta are any indicator of the type of people playing, I'm not even going to consider a subscription.

The Plus: ULTRA detailed character creation.
The Minus: everything else

I'm really not liking that there are faces specific to this set. I've been playing the same characters for 4-6 years, and to have to use a specific face to get the look that I want, just isn't something I'm willing to do.

I made a mention of a "cookie cutter" character in my last post and making 2 faces for male and female just tells people that you should fall in like with the rest of the crowd.

My biggest complaint, overall, about Booster Packs is that there is less and less individuality with each pack. I'm going to get this pack because I'm supporting the product, but I'd like to see future packs have less hinderance to creativity.

The only thing that bugs me with the new faces is that you can't have a secondary selection to them.

Take OrganicArmor face... it doesn't match OrganicArmor body because there is no skin on the chest to seamlessly merge into the face. You have a full chest piece, but all the skin around the front of the face has no "armor" protection. This could easily be fixed by allowing the secondary selection (masks) to be in use with this face, like many of the other faces.

I dunno.. for some reason I'm not really feeling it with this costume set. I mentioned before how it feels we have less and less options the more and more we get "new" and "Fancy" costume pieces. This set feel like we're going backwards rather than forwards.

I mean, having new pieces that can only have 1 color option whereas 95% of the older pieces have 2 color options, really doesn't make me feel that I can do much more with this set than make a "cookie cutter" character that everyone else will be running around with.

I hate to say it, but I really don't feel this set is anything extraordinary, unlike all of the other boosters we've gotten.

:O

Is this the shortest Steelclaw post? Ever?

I'll also throw in my designs from the Virtue contest thread.

Happy Birthday to an amazing lady and an amazing friend. I know you're still on vacation so I'm having some people deliver you a birthday cupcake.



It should get to you in about 45 days. (Hey, it's being driven by forklift! Hold yer horses! )

There is no contact that gives you the portal. You obtain a portal, at any level, just by being teamed in ANY mission that deals with time travel. You can also obtain the portal, at level 25, by entering Ouroboros via someone else's portal, and getting the Ouroboros exploration badge at the top of the platform.

You can join another person doing a flashback and after at least one mission completes, you will be awarded a portal.

There are numerous ways to get one. The easiest, of course, is using someone elses and getting the exploration badge.

Ok, I can come up with a lot of "wants" in this area, but can we please, please, please have some continuity updates?

Here's an example of what I mean:

Recluse's Victory/all Atlas Mission Maps vs. updated Atlas Park - Continuity is really big for me in CoH. So, it saddens me when I'm in Recluse's Victory and there is no destroyed Wentworth's building. Same with all new mission maps of Atlas (except for the Twilight's Son Ouroboros Arc; that one has Wentworths on a map with the meteor). But there is no Mission Architect building in RV (closed down/destroyed of course) there is no updated Vanguard base, etc.

I do appreciate the time and effort that goes into each update, but, storywise, the lack of constant updated continuity kind of ruins it for me.

Also, there are some mission maps that are updated while the actual zone isn't. An example of this is the S.E.R.A.P.H. Steel Canyon building from the villainside storyarc. In the villain arc, there is a sign for the SERAPH building and a door that you can enter. However in Steel Canyon, neither exist.

Like I said, it's the little things that make this game stand out for me.

Ok, here is a "want:"

Can we please get more buildings to enter? Even if they don't have anything special inside, I'd love to be able to walk up to any door, open it, go into a lobby and just have a place to hang out. :P

I blame Lusca and the thousands, nay millions, of people switching alts to take down this once-in-a-lifetime spawning!

>: (

Damn Lusca!!!

So, no Herocon this year?

*Yes, I read the post. Just shocking since I thought that Herocon pulled in quite a large group of players.*

I'm thinking he was given back 16.8 Million?

Huh?

You mean after you respeced, instead of reslotting the enahncements, you turned them in for inf. on the respec screen?

Abraham Benrubi of "ER" and "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" fame is/was an admitted CoH player (at one time.) Not sure if he still plays.

Yeah, I'm protesting in front of Wentworth's right now. Someone has joined in. I don't think he knows that I'm protesting the lack of bacon in-game.

I'm on top of Atlas right now, trying to use the jackhammer to pry off the Top Dog badge.

Actually, the best thing to do is right click inside your chat window and there should be some options like "Join Channel", "Create Channel", and "Channel Search." Using channel search should find you tons of global channels. Just search for Virtue and you should be good to go.

Some channels to look for:

Virtue LRSF: specifically used for finding villain players for doing Strike Forces as well as teams.

VirtueUnited: An all around, global that's used for heroes, villains, badge hunters, task/strike forces. Pretty much anything

Virtuebadges09: (might have been changed to VirtueBadges) used for finding players to help get you that badge you've been trying to get.

There is also a sticky for global channels in this Virtue forum. It's got a lot more, specifically for Virtue, and I'm sure there are plenty of villain-specific channels that will help you find exactly what you need.

Virtue has become too corporate. I liked it before it was all about the money.

Maybe I'm thinking about Metallica :P

All I have to say about this: last night, Virtue was the only server that hit "red" status, even if only briefly. Freedom only hit yellow, then shortly it was back to green.

It was said that after the free server transfers, many people moved to Virtue since they couldn't find good RP'ing on other servers. So, I'd say we've got a pretty good chance of currently being the most populated.
