That is an awesome tribute to our fallen leader...I give you huge props.
-
I can only hope we haven't lost him for good...he is not the 'disagreeable gent' who originally used his avatar. He will always be the Superman of CoH to me.

Quote:Organica, I live in Lakewood, WA and didn't have tv/internet for about that long, even though I didn't lose power! It was very interesting, how attached I feel to the game...I think I was suffering withdrawl, not being able to play. I sure hope you got your power back now!Originally Posted by Organica
Forget what will I do if CoH dies. What will I do if EVERYTHING dies?
= I haven't had power since Thursday morning. Ice storm in Western Washington has made a lot of branches break and whole trees fall over from the weight of ice, and where I live there are a LOT OF TREES. (One barely missed my car!) I also live on a hill, and last night I had to park 3 miles away from home and walk up the hill, and when I got there there was still no power.
I made a fire, listened to the radio (my Tivoli iPAL can go for hours w/out recharging), and read a book. (Snuff by Terry Pratchett). But... NO COH!!!!
I'm posting this from work of course. I probably won't have power when I go home, maybe not for another couple of days....

I will stop playing CoH when this happens......

There is a tip mission (can't remember the name at the moment) where you need to rescue a hero that has been transformed into a DE monster...they fight, but beg you to put them out of their anguish. As they die, the last words are very heart wrenching.

A quick little video in memoriam of Statesman...
Tribute to Marcus 'Statesman' Cole (WWD5 ending) - YouTube version
High res version, as always, is available on my website's Videos page.

I wish in my heart that the devs had not chosen this path, but it's something I must accept. Thank you again for giving those of us who will forever honor Statesman as the symbol of CoH such a wonderful tribute. -
I don't have a problem with it. The Gunslinger set had things for males only that I would love to have for females, like the chaps...the Barbarian bundle had bracers that were not for females. It seems that things balance out in the long run. If you don't want the things, don't get them. I say keep bringing them on so we can have tons of choices.

What side do you pick more than others?
-Hero
What play style do you prefer?
-I have always loved being a healer, but also enjoy old school tanking and scrapping
What power set(s) do you favor?
-see above
What zones do you like the most?
-Founders for the beauty, Croatoa for the magic and fantasy feel, FBZ for the sheer awesome outer spaciness
Do you usually play as a male or female (word of hatred) ''toon''?
-99% of my chars are female...the 2 that aren't are animals
Views on Role Playing?
-I can if everyone else is, but don't usually
Servers?
-all on Triumph. -
-your powerset is 'Kitchen Gadgets'
-you get killed by the civillian NPCs
-your costume makes the 'random' choice look like an award winner
-the devs create a special emote geared toward your character.../em point and laugh so hard you fall to ground coughing -
I learned from experience that after a patch the game's pigg files, etc. get really fragged and borked. So this is what I do every time: I update the game and let the patch download, then before I hit 'play now' I run Defraggler, then flush the dns file. (I made a shortcut for it but you can just open the 'run' prompt and enter ipconfig /flushdns.) Then I hit 'play now' and let the check/repair run its course. Since doing this, I haven't experienced any probs starting the launcher. I have an old putersaurus that still uses an agp card, and my game runs great. Hope this helps!

Quote:This is how I feel, exactly. From the first day of gameplay, Statesman was the ultimate symbol for CoH. A role model, sort of like the hero we all look up to and aspire to emulate. While there are so many players who don't care one way or another, I do. Of all the changes this game has gone through, this is the only one I am most against....and saddened by. He is NOT Jack Emmert. He is the leader on which the game is based. I know that this is 'just a game'...I know that 'things' change. But, unlike real life and fate, this is one thing that is controllable. I will never understand why eliminating Statesman seems to be so necessary after seven years. No one can ever replace him for me.Originally Posted by Cosmic_Herald
No, you really aren't alone in not rushing to see Statesman die.
But to me, they are removing the symbol of the game. -

I love this one, Airhead!! I don't think that I have ever seen so many plaid shirted dudes in one spot before!

For all the newbies, THIS is what all the heroes/npcs used to look like when they died....just like a gingerbread cookie. When the devs introduced ragdoll physics, it was actually amazing.

-
Yah, that did look a little strange...
-
That is great news, Blight! Welcome back to the fun!

Getting an unexpected but important phone call right in the middle of heavy fighting action.

-
LOL...that has to be it!!!
-
I have noticed this more and more with npcs....contorted bodies, flopping, spinning heads etc. when they are 'arrested'. Seems to have happened right after the launch of Freedom. Wonder what's going on, and why this is happening.

I noticed his fingers are not the only 'correct' look...LOL
