Well if anyone ever posts in the future that the devs hate powerleveling, I'm going to link this thread. Just incredible...

[/ QUOTE ]

Why? Because powergaming is similar to powerlevelling? Playing non-stop is an exploit somehow?

Dude, a powergamer can get more levels and more fun than a PL'er... I admit, I'm no powergamer, but that doesn't mean I'm going to accuse people of something -they haven't even done yet-.

Well, I could try, but I suck. So... yeah... Ima cheer the contestants on.

On a side tangent, I'd love to see annual trick or treating. Dont nessassarly tie it into the mythology of CoH like what happened with the first event - but just monsters popping out of doors with candy.

/whole-heartedly-agree.

Gods that was fun.

I officially have a new term for rasing threads fromthe grave:

Threadromancy!

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldn't call this thread-grave robbing. The original question is still being answered instead of fluff.

BTW - Athyna and Lady Athyna still have their rocks. And you can't have them. Never. Those rocks are mine, mine, mine, all mine!

*chucks rock at Zikar*

Dammit! Give it back!

In the first few weeks of beta, if you exited a mission in Mercy, I think it was snake mission, you be dropped in Atlas Park. The police drones would target and zap you back to the Rogue Isles but, if you could get past them, you could train at Ms. Liberty, ride the trams, Azuria wouldn't give any missions she just told you to talk to your other contacts... it was neat.

Some guy still had a Hollows mission on his character right up till the end. He took the mission, and while trying to wipe out however many Trolls got killed and landed back in Mercy. He levelled up a couple times in Atlas. And I think the bug that dropped you there was fixed before he cdould clear that mission.

Heroes going bad/villains going good - Positron indicated that this won't be coming any time soon. I got the impression that it hasn't been abandoned, but there are just too many other things that are higher priority.


[/ QUOTE ]

Any word on if balance issues are holding this up? There's been a bit of speculation that things like villains defenders or heroic masterminds might be problematic. Can we either put that speculation to rest or speculate more?

[/ QUOTE ]
Interesting speculation. I wouldn't mind seeing more debate on this.

I am chagrined to hear how low this sits on the priority list. In fact, I'm chagrined at how low a lot of QOL issues sit on the priority list. Ahh Zeb ... you are missed!

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm wondering if there is some balance issues with this that aren't quick and easy to fix. If, whatever's holding cross-over up will take a while to get developed or coded or whatever, it might seem more cost efficient to get several other things done first. I'm just guessing here, but no company has an infinite staff or gobs of time to dedicate to something. Perhaps they opted to get several things done at once instead of using the same manpower/time on one thing.

Trenchcoats and wings have been begged for since CoH beta, cross-over is relatively new by comparison. I'm not holding it against them, I am hoping that there will be enough other things that waiting for crossover won't feel too long.

...But you know, I would have loved to go to any of the Meet & Greets, but CuppaJo had a restraining order put on me after that incident with the car battery, Positron, 65 tons of crispy wonton noodles, and duct tape.

For those who didn't know and are OCD about badges, there will be exactly ONE (1) Infected in Recluse's Victory that spawns every two hours. Kill him 100 times to get that Isolator badge you missed in Outbreak. Posi said it would be annoyingly hard, after all, so you asked for it



[/ QUOTE ]

Ouch. Ok, when i7 goes live, I'll wait till the major badge-aholics are done before even thinking about it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just wanted to add (because I just remembered from the Meet & Greet):

I think Positron's greatest practical joke is the Task Force Commander badge, which requires the badges from all six of the Freedom Phalanx Task Forces.

Now you will be forced to do Positron's dreaded TF if you want this accolade

Sorry for the noob question, but I've been gone since right before the ED/CoV change/release, and I've not noticed anything relating to it.. but what IS this Pocket-D and D5 thing I keep seeing people refer too?

Aeon

Revamp of the PDP. It's on the map now. It rocks.

Wheeeeeee!

Cuppa's back!

*hides Cuppa_Clone name tag*

[ QUOTE ]
Also, yay for more confirmation of the 5th returning. Perhaps we can finally put an end to the sheer stupidity of the "omg the germanz banzored the nazis!!!" stuff.


[/ QUOTE ]

Meh, it's been confirmed before that the 5th are coming back.

-As far as Maria Jenkins goes, there is a mistake in her bio information. Maria Jenkins was Madame Danger not Maiden Justice. She worked with Statesman in the 30's. Sorry for the confusion.

[/ QUOTE ]

1 - good book, could've been written better but overall was quite good, I personally can't wait for the next book.

2 - Will bios and backstories (clicking ask about this contact stuff) be cleaned up, and when?

She's in Croatoa, and an alternate-universe version (apparently) is in D5.

[/ QUOTE ]

She's in ALL the instances of Pocket D, isn't she?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. She's an NPC drinking up near the second floor bar. Unless the D5 was referring to the dev who posts under the name War_Witch signing on.

Poke her (the NPC, not the dev) for some cute lines.

There are many stories of GMs appearing in unusual guises.

Did you know... there was a GM who always appeared as a PINK policebot. I forget her name but she was said to appear as a beautiful PINK Bot.

Did you know... a GM appeared once as Countess Crey. According to the story I heard, a player used the Countess Crey name or some variety of it and didn't want to change it. The GM appeared as the genuine Countess Crey to deal with the issue.

The most likely story of unusual appearances was...

All the signature heroes left their respective pedestals and appeared in Atlas Park to honor the recently deceased Christopher Reeve. They all lined up and briefly saluted the real life Hero.

What server did those happen on? Are there any screenshots?

I'll just say this: The devs named Perez Park after him.

I knew that. Still don't care. But I like Romero Heights.


[/ QUOTE ]
Man I wish I knew who Perez was just so I could arbitrarily grief you with the knowledge....

[/ QUOTE ]

I direct you here. Have fun!

Ick!! Did you see that preview of the book cover? No way was that drawn by a professional, I used to draw things like that when I was 14 with all of the proporitions scewed. I really hope thats either a bad scan of the cover or its a rough draft because that is just embarrasing!

[/ QUOTE ]

Seconded...

I'm a graphic design major, and that cover *hurts* me... On the *inside*.

[/ QUOTE ]

Count me as the third so far. Ya know, when I heard that George Perez was going to do one of the covers for the new TopCow comic, I was excited - until I saw the cover. I really don't mean to impugne his work, but I am just as disappointed with the new novel cover so far as I was then.

[/ QUOTE ]

One, I'd be impressed if I knew George Perez was. Don't enlighten me. I don't care. I'm not a comic book fan. Sci-fi/horror movie/book yes, not comic books, sorry.

But, uhm... can I try to draw that? I'm no artist, but I think I can do better than that. Heck, my 9 year old can do better than that. But he can draw the entire Scooby Gang very well. Very, very well.

Yay! Arctic's still around!

[ QUOTE ]
Yes, I know where she is IN game. But I hadn't seen the dev War Witch in quite a while. Sorry about the mixup

[/ QUOTE ]

I think she's still around. She hasn't been the chattiest redname usually and with all the devs working on i7 more they're all a little quiet around here. Give her some time. Send her a pm. Say hi.
