  1. Sharkhead is apparently badly bugged because this same error is happening to me as well. I'm constantly mapservering to the point that I can't really move, I'm stuck in the hospital at the moment. This is not occurring on any of my other characters, only the villain in Sharkhead.

    Virtue server, 6:09 central time.

    Security Team

    I've wondered the same, it would be really cool if this was an elite team of 3 or more EBs that would actually pose a challenge.
  3. I've got a Kat/SR Scrapper I'm bored with, I think Kat/Regen Brute sounds like a lot of fun so I'll most likely be rerolling when i21 hits. Regen with a Brute's higher HP plus some defense from Katana and a few IOs should be pretty awesome, can't wait.
  4. The comic book loading screens could be one of the best additions in a long while, and that's a big deal considering how amazing some of the recently added features are.

    Start replacing as many cutscenes with comic book intros as possible please! Our cutscenes are...lackluster at best and some Nakayama comic intros could really give this game a "next gen" feel.
  5. Looks pretty awesome to me, I'm sure it will look better once we see how the colors work.

    Always glad to see the older version of Robin used in the more serious/adult versions of Batman, never been a fan of Bats bringing 8 year olds with him to fight psychopathic serial killers.
  6. Just a feeling I get from the trailers; everything in space and on Oa will be breathtaking, amazing, classic GL and wonderful. In contrast, all scenes on earth look terrible.

    Still hoping I'm though, GL is one of my favorites
  7. Gotta love the "psyche!" moment for the devs there.

    "Does the jetpack guy in the i20 preview mean we finally get jetpacks?!"

    "lol, no, you can rent one for $5 a pop though!"
  8. Forgive me if I missed this discussion already;

    Any news on if there will be a Free Server Transfer period around the time of the NA/EU merge? It makes since as I'm sure there will be a lot of people who will want to move some characters around. Here's to wishful thinking anyway!
  9. Either our devs get sent to every interview with pre-approved Marketing-speak answer cards or they've been trained with shock therapy, they're all masters of saying nothing in the best way now.
  10. Typical marketing speak interviews, lots of text and very little content.

    NCSoft, these interviews bore/insult the players you already have and do nothing to attract new players. No one out there is going to read that tripe and say "I'm going to play City of Heroes!"
  11. Somewhere in all the Incarnate slots from Alpha to Omega I pray there is a bit of Mez protection for squishies. It would be a shame for my blaster Lightslinger to rise through all the levels of the Incarnate System, become as powerful as Recluse and Statesman, then be promptly slept/stunned/held by a minion in a warehouse.
  12. I would even support a much more drastic purge, free all names not attached to a global. Anyway to open more names is good.
  13. WOOHOO, thanks for the info! Love the raids in Praetoria already, glad to see more of them coming to the game.

    This should have Superman trying to be a father figure and Superboy trying to get out from under Superman's shadow, but still wanting Superman's respect and approval...

    Wait, that's how they are in the comic... it makes sense so they changed it... idiot creators messing up the stuff done right v.v

    GASP! Changing something that was written in a comic?! Good thing comics themselves never change anything at all and stick with characters original stories at all times.

    Gimme a break, what's wrong with going through an arc where Superman and Superboy have to get to know each other and actually develop a relationship instead of having some artificially happy Father/Son dynamic forced on us.

    Pretty sure if I discovered a clone that was created to kill me my first instinct wouldn't be "Lets go to a baseball game and I'll be the bestest Dad ever!"

    The cast forms a 'boy band' dynamic that's meant to appeal to teenagers. Superboy is the 'dark' one. Robin is the wisecracking geeky one. Kid Flash is the womanizer. Megan is the innocent one. Et cetera. They're never going to break out of these roles on a permanent basis, because the stereotypical roles are the concept behind the entire enterprise. It's N'Sync in spandex.

    There's nothing wrong with that, but it's not my kind of superhero show. I hope it does well with its intended demographic.
    I don't see how a character fulfilling a role makes it a "boy band" dynamic. I get that you don't like the show, but calling it "N'Sync in spandex" merely because characters exhibit certain traits is an unfair judgement.
  16. Really, really hope Turnstile is added to normal teams soon. Make a simple Team Leader UI that would allow them to set "Looking for More" and maybe even a level range.

    Then add an "Auto Team" option to the Flag menu, that way those in proper level ranges would be automatically added to a team.

    Also, would love to see an Incarnate Trial for Dark Astoria, the idea of defeating some Cthulu-esque Banished Pantheon God sounds perfectly epic for those later stages of Incarnacy.
  17. Try monitoring Damage Buff to see how each attack adds a buff, will definitely help you appreciate Defiance 2.0.

    Returning to original defiance leaving my main (Lightslinger, Energy/Energy Blaster) helpless while stunned and removing my damage buff is one of the few things that would make me leave this game.

  18. Loving this show so far, the art style is great, excellent characters and good action. I love how the group is growing and learning how to work as a team. Kid Flash is definitely my favorite character so far.

    Funniest moment of the series so far was when the sidekicks were walking to the Hall of Justice.

    (heard from the crowd of Press taking pictures, paraphrased)
    "Hey look its Speedy!"
    "Is he Flash's sidekick?"
    "No, Speedy is Green Arrow's sidekick."
    "Well that makes no sense at all."
  19. Still not sure if I'm interested enough to buy, but those are some really, really high res, high detail pieces, nice work.
  20. CoH has changed drastically since the introduction of supergroups and quite frankly, they've been left behind. SGs used to be a center for socializing, an easy form of travel around the city, base raids and much more. Socializing and team organizing is much easier on global channels. Travel is easier than ever with the unified rail/ferry systems and a plethora of TP powers. Base raids and even just PVP in general has been all but abandoned.

    Unless the devs do something to make being an active member of a supergroup desirable again, I think we'll continue to see supergroups overall declining.

    Supergroups should be a showcase for this game, being able to found your own "Justice League" level supergroup should be a huge feature, now its just empty bases.

    Disclaimer: I'm not saying ALL SGs are falling by the wayside, I'm sure there are some that are currently going strong and new SGs will continue to flourish everyday. I'm merely pointing out that the devs have allowed a once great system to stagnate.
  21. Thanks to Paragonian Knights for making my transition from Victory to Virtue seamless, I met a lot of great people. Sad to see it go, but I completely understand.
  22. Thanks for the help mousedroid, yeah none of my searches yielded anything either.

    I figured this was a complete shot in the dark, but I figured I'd give it one last try before giving up on it.
  23. If you had told me at the launch of Issue 16 that on the verge of i20's release we still didn't have full Power Customization I wouldn't have believed you.

    I would have defended the devs saying "There's no way they'd leave one of their crowning achievements (Power Customization) unfinished like that for so long, my guess is full customization within the next 2 issues, probably sooner."

    Now here we are 16 months and almost 4 issues later, Power Customization stands incomplete with the same gaping holes it had at launch. I hope this topic gets brought up again and again at PAX East, please remind them how important it is they finish Power Customization properly.
  24. The global @Everyone has the name Nightslinger on Virtue and I'd be willing to pay good influence for that name. Does anyone know this person? I've sent a few tells to them over the years asking about the name, but I've never gotten a reply.
