Quote:At this time I need any glimmer of hope I can get. This game has been my Bastion. It's where I go when the times get rough. They have been very rough lately; even before the announcement. I lost a good friend two weeks ago. It was sudden, and unexplained; his heart just up and stopped. I've been in terrible mourning since.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
I want everyone to please temper their expectations with the word "discussions". Please, don't take this to mean more than it does, at this point in time.
Then suddenly in the midst of news about the biggest update to the game--believing that the game was stronger than its ever been--it's all been shut down. Too bad, so sad; all the work you have all done in the past year and more is never seeing the light of day.
I'll take any hope I can get right now. -

I did edit the page a couple times after it launched, but no one noticed it.... We buffed the Origin Powers! And put in alternate ways to get Advanced Psychic Incarnate Experience. And more screenshots.

Thank you.
Thank you for making the job of my team a joy. A Community Manager couldn't ask for a better group of players to be given the opportunity to care for. The devotion and dedication you all have to the game and your fellow players has had a really positive impact on my approach to Community Management.
Today has been emotionally challenging for us all. I'm not a man prone to tears, but I couldn't help but crying as I read the messaging that we would be posting to you during our final Studio Meeting. Even though I was only here for awhile, Paragon was home. In my short tenure, I was blessed to see a new era for the game with Freedom, to watch artists pass the torch to each other as they shifted to new projects, to watch developers have a dialog with the Community rather and work together to make the game better and to work directly with you guys to make some amazing content like the Retro Sci Fi set.
Freedom brought a new life to City of Heroes. The game was, and still is, alive and vibrant with more new players joining the fight every day. It's important to know that Freedom wasn't a failure. This really is a refocusing of direction from NCsoft and unfortunately, Paragon didn't fit into that vision. Collectively, we hold no ill will towards NCsoft and thank them for many years of support.
I know that many of you have questions that need answered. I don't have a lot of answers right now, but please be assured that whomever remains behind to sunset CoH, whether it be myself or someone else, will provide updates as much as possible.
I just can't say this enough; it's been an honor and a privilege to play some small part in the history of this amazing game and it's Community. Remember all of the friendships, bonds and connections you've all made with each other. Cherish them and carry with you into the next adventure. You guys, the people, are what MMOs are all about.
Damnit...now I'm tearing up again.

Apparently they're giving out a metric crapton of Dark Matter Aura codes in celebration of the late Jack Kirby's birthday. -

well that's just an affront to all comicdom
DEVS, this is unacceptable...
While I know limited the access to the aura was supposed to make it special; it's just frustrating now. -

Quote:I sure got the impression that participation was getting a prize.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
The Dark Matter Aura is given away randomly to people hanging out in Pocket D after the events. We do not intend for everyone participating to receive one.
This plus the Twitter debacle, I'm just out and out frustrated with this. It wasn't worth the time.

Quote:No, That's what I'm suggesting. A lot of players on Infinity missed out despite taking part in the Event.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Are you sure that's not just the devs giving away the Dark Matter code to random players?
-
An invisible badge(so no cries about missing a badge) for participating that granted the Dark Matter Aura. Very few got the aura, and it is extremely frustrating trying again and again to get this aura.

Well, is there an ETA on Bio Armor? Won't be surprised if there isn't, normally a 'when its ready' sort of thing, but would still like to know.
