  1. I am surprised over and over at how much people complain. This is suppose to be a mini-game to play while ur logged out. Not somethin u have to do as fast as possible, its extra stuff. Why does everyone want everythin instantly? I hear people complain about how that ruined other games becuase of people wantin everythin now now. Calm down it suppose to take time to get rewards, why dont u just complain it takes a year to get the 12 month badge and how bout the devs make it only 6 months while ur all at it. I think this is a sweet thing to add that gives us somethin in which we used to get nothin, not playin.

    Well im really really sad that Web Grenade would be gone. I have been waitin for a long time to finally make my shield scrapper and that was one of the most important powers along with caltrops that was goin to be the coup de gras of my attacks.
  3. Sweet, that kinda takes care of one of the things i wanted which was slow resists for dwarf.
  4. If u read thru the kheld arcs and Moonfire TF and the comics and such stuff, khelds have there own technology. So its possible they traveled here, maby as far back as ancient Rome, in space ships of there own design.

    Although like many have said bein made of pure light energy they could more than likely, when not attached to a host, travel thru space/time at light speed. Not too sure how this would affect there already short life-span of around 10yrs w/o a host. I dont want to get into that any deeper with the quantum mechanics,cats in boxes, attachin 2 black-holes together and crap, hehe.

    Seeing as Twilight Son must be usin Ouroboros to time-travel i dont think they could travel faster than light-speed or right at it maby. And thats assuming he does have to use Ouroboros. Im just glad that someone put alot of the kheld info in one spot, thanks Memphis_Bill.
  5. I dont see how people get so confused about these articles. They are for gettin new players into CoX, thats about it. Its not about new info or exclusive i13 announcements.

    O and PvE nerfs from PvP stole my lunch moneys, hehe.
  6. My wife and i have been playin CoX since SEP 07 and havent had time to be bored yet. To me the devs are doin a good job of churnin out content and "free" content at that. Ive played a few MMOs over the past few years since i got outta the army with nothing to do and pretty much the only other one to put out free issues anywhere close to CoX is LotRO. They put a few out a year so far and have new zones and weapons and such. Other than that most have a couple paid expansions a year or two.

    This game is so sweet and ill be around for awhile. Got my def to 50 and now playin my peacebringer and prob by the time i hit 50, shields will hopefully be out so ill have another char to work on.

    Was searching around for more info on the Nova & Dwarf forms and I came across this, a compelling narration of the Kheldian story. I have no idea what this guy's source is, or whether this is from canon, but it doesn't seem to contradict any of Bill's information and gives much deeper insight into the Kheldian relationships with the Novae and Dwarves - both of whom are apparently now extinct. It's especially interesting to note that the Nova forms seem to be called that because their home planet was destroyed by a nova! Imagine if humanity was wiped out by a plague, but the Kheldians escaped ... maybe a Peacebringer would call their human form Shining Plague.

    Anyway, some interesting history there. Will help me a lot in trying to combine my PB's 4 personalities into one cool synergized whole. Wish me luck. And thanks Bill for this great guide.

    I am just wondering if what this guy wrote up fact? Very nice history he has in it...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yea that was pretty dam sweet, even if its not canon.
  8. This is great news. Saw a few boxes of both last time i was at a store. Hope the new stuff is goin to be sweet too.

    If at all possible, please post a transcript (or download) for people who had to work and couldn't attend.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I think a download would be kinda hard as it was a screen showin Posi playin the game live and speaking answerin questions people posted in the IRC which Lighthouse was monitoring. Maby a transcript would work better.

    That was a pretty sweet program watchin someone play the game live. More should be done with that in the future. Plus Posi kinda answered my question about the shield powerset.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, we think it's pretty cool too. If anyone has any ideas for using Dyyno's streaming technology with the game or something they would like to stream that they think would be interesting for the rest of the community (that is of course CoH related) please send me a private message.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Sweet, ive never done this before but now i have too, hehe. First post after/before/and quoted by a red name woo, hehe.

    Edit: also what would be cool is the devs do a TF as the signature chars on it. And instead of digital comics of events like Manticore/Sister Psyche wedding have it on this since not everyone can attend.

  12. Very nice especially the Global name change.
  13. Bein able to write our own story arcs and have others play/rate them is amazinly sweet. I have lots of ideas already thanks Posi and Devs.

    I would say just have a special contact made available to military personnel and via email, allow them to simply be exempted form the name policy. I don't see why we need to creating sliding rules for names being freed up; let the GI's keep their names, and everyone else has to abide by the rules...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    And how exactly are you supposed to prove that you are a GI? What's to stop non-GI's from using the contact? I really don't see a reason to make this exception. High level characters are still protected. Worst case scenario, the guy or gal has to rename his character when they do get back and playing again.

    Guess we'll have to post screenshots of our DD-214's hehe.
  15. Hey all u that "claim" ur quiting the game, can i have ur stuff?
  16. I think this a great idea to generate more money for the game. I cant believe it took this long too do. Although i do like the Vanguard posters/billboards and think they should stay, unless the devs and advertisers are really Rikti, hmm.
  17. This is so sweet, ive been waitin for this kinda comic book realism since i started playin CoH. Thanks devs.

    Actually, none of the power sets being discussed are all that mind blowing.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    mind blowing? thermal and cold for heroes is not? Thermal and cold domination are not mind blowing? PBU and cold domination = -dmg cap pretty much will take out any EB (pve) or AT (in pvp) out of the fight.
    What kinda get me mad is the article how they keep describing how MMs cant get kin or how cold armor is not possible for brutes. Kinda adding fuel to the fire.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I keep seeing people say that PBU will be too much with cold and the -damage in almost every thread the past few days. PBU doesnt affect -damage.
  19. People will be unhappy no matter what power sets they ported. I ll still be playin my peacebringer and dark/energy defender so im happy. They do look pretty cool thou and these are just the firsts it seems so why always be so down on everythin.
  20. Supergroup: Mandos Remnant

    Leaders: Hero Alpha, Melize, Winter-Blaze

    Contact: in-game email, forum PM, or in-game /tell


    Hello all, i have a new supergroup, Mandos Remnant that so far has myself, my wife, her brother and another guy we met in-game. We team together and solo quite a bit too, but usually at a slower pace. Not turtle slow but slow as in reading the story arcs and chatting during missions. And if u have to go AFK cause of whatever the reason, thats cool too. We understand if the dogs and kids are barking, or someones at the door or a loud noise has destroyed ur head cause of a bad hangover. Also at the time the chars the 4 of us play are all around lvl 14-20, i have a 50 def but have started the SG with a peacebringer. Also the wife has a 40 mastermind villianside. We have been playing CoH for 6 months.

    I wouldnt say we roleplay, as i never really have but might try someday. We do however get into writing bios for our chars and enjoy reading others in-game and like to do story arc missions for the sake of the story and lvling. The 3 of us have played SWG, LoTRO and now moved here and love it. So far we only have 1 teleport to Kings Row in our base but will be expanding with more members.

    So i would like to invite anyone that sounds like this may be something there interested in to contact one of us please. We play alot early EST so European players are very welcome. Then we play in the evening as well. And we like to joke around alot. Also looking for coalitions to join for teaming too. Thanks for ur time.
  21. This is all awesome. Being able to click on someones name in the chat is sweet, u can do that in LoTRO and i used it alot. Its much easier than typin a name in search and still not being able to add to friends and stuff. Also bein able to link enhances and recipes in chat so u can show them to people w/o the trade window is nice. Also for someone who asked earlier in this thread, i think when u lvl up u get all the inspirations applyed to u not placed in ur tray, i think anyway from the way i read it.
  22. This whole issue is super sweet. Im about to get my first hero to 50 and then ima start a PB, this will be perfect to lvl a new toon again with.
  23. Wow, that all looks sweet. I like the new click on names of chars in chat to do stuff and linking enhances in chat. All this looks awesome to me. Also the wife almost has her villain to lvl 50, so good for me hehe. Thanks devs and NC. Crab Spiders have always been my fav lookin Arachnos, now i can be one, sweet.
  24. I kinda understand where ur comin from as some of my friends love CoH and some dont. I played SWG and LoTRO before comin here so i understand the way missions and stuff works in MMORPGs. Ive only been playin CoH for 6 months so theres still alot i dont know how to do. When i got my first missions way over in that corner, well i instinctively trained throu the NPCs to get to the mission door. I didnt know about the temp-power jetpacks and stuff either. However it doesnt take long to find out when any team u join from pretty much lvl 2 - 10 talks alot about radio missions and bank missions and gettin there travel temp-power. Providing u join a team that is.

    Vet rewards are also somethin that shouldnt be given out to just anyone. They are just what there are called, Veteran Rewards, given to players who have been playin for long periods of time as a reward. I understand that some people are jealous of vet rewards. In SWG players would complain all the time about them and elder jedi stuff. But people will complain about anythin, even thou the vet rewards here are not game-breakin.

    All this stuff is just part of the learnin curve of MMOs from my experience. People either get into it and like it or they go play x-box and PS3. Myself i love CoH and its been one of the easiest played MMOs for me. As in pre-NGE SWG u were just dropped into the world and had basically no story arcs to send u on ur way or linear game play. CoH is perfect to me, just complicated enough to be interestin and easy enough to have fun fast.
  25. I would like to see Incarnates as a EAT for both sides come out at the same time. Like was mentioned earlier some type of greek god type powers would be cool maby. Also i think they should add Nictus to CoV just because, not change it from warshades at all and just port it over.
