    I was born with all this knowledge : http://cityofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/City_of_Heroes_Wiki.

    Moar catz in treez, purse thievez, ladies in distress and the still absent pickle jar. WHY does no one call a hero in Paragon to open a pickle jar ?

    Uh oh i have another one :
    ''Regarding Architect Entertainment, how do you feel about what users saw in it and what you wanted to implement as content''

    1. will lag ever be a thing of the past? I'm running a 20 Mb connection so the problem is surely not on my end.
    2. will we ever get more travel powers?
    3 why is it so hard to implement costume pieces?

    1. Monsters
    I think that monsters and villains are a hero's bread and butter when it comes to his or hers daily activity. There for I suggest more giant monsters. And also maybe we can have monsters trying to invade and destroy Atlas park/Galaxy city or other zones. I mean it about time one of those big ones we already have in paragon got lost and found himself in atlas scared and trying to eat people on the street, smashing cars and spreading fear on the street. And why not new monsters just invading Atlas with their minions.
    2. Invasions
    Initialy I wanted to suggest for a bigger type of invasion. Rikit or zombie. But then I thought about the lag that it would involve. Even so none of those invasions look like an invasion. I mean havin rikti span on a larger area would make atlas seem more of an invasion battlefield and having players fighing on a wider area might take some of the lag off. I might be wrong but I would enjoy a bigger and more war like invasion.

    I`ve looked through both powersets, and already made a Bots/Dark MM. But I would like for your experienced opinions about the two. I like the control over the bots you get as a MM. Its my first time playing one. I love the destructive capabilities a toon like this offers.
    So I might be a bit newbish asking this but which one overs a better DPS ? How are these secondaries best used to get the most out of them and which secondary fits bots best ?
    I played a lot or Red Alert and other RTS and i`m a bit nostalgic with the bots and moving them around placing them in the best positions for battles. So I`m looking at a mini army that can wipe out whatever it meets.

    A second question, does positioning help or do the mobs eventually just run around. I`m curious about pulling a boss or a certain foe off a group, or dividing a mob in half.

    Thanks for reading

    90% of my forum activity here is from an Xperia phone. Sadly the whole internet experience on a phone,no matter which one that is ... its far from being something to enjoy. Also english is my second language, so my apologies for bad grammar and punctuation.

    Anyway, the tv series ''heroes'' is going the way the op likes. more heroic less powerful. In my opinion being stronger,faster,smarter,more agile, etc and use all those atributes as a hero or super hero is always to punish other people that you can exercise some force over and make them do the right thing or at least what you think is right.
    basically a super hero is supposed to kick your butt.

    Same here. I'll only pre order if there will be unique costume parts or other unique stuff for who pre orders. otherwise i'll wait for the proper release and see if its worth playing.

    This topic is tha lulz. I'm european and i dont know why i was under the impression that someone from usa would ask for a more gore and violence regarding powersets.
    Anyway, here's a few powersets that follow a less violent line :
    Friendship
    powers like : kiss and make up, pat on shoulder, hang out in the mall, hug, aoe cookie sharing, wedgie master
    Jehova's witness
    powers like : mighty cure, jesus is your friend, holy preach, etc
    Talkmaster
    powers like : boring joke, lame comedy standup, talk a villain down, mass preach about conspiracies
    Chuck Norris manipulation
    powers like : this one only has the power of chuck norris. the reason why this power is not actually in the game is for the simple fact that this is actually the god mode.
    The list of harmless powersets could go on .... but really, you should play a controller or defender.

    What do you think it must have ?

    1. lots of costume pieces
    2. new mission maps
    3. search for team function and teams status message visible on searches
    4. new travel powers


    please feel free to add to the list. dont think of this as suggestions but just what you think it should/must have. keep in mind its not a free update but a pay for add'on so money wise there should be things you're entitled to want.
  11. MageX
    Yes they are right. you feel unique and different but not quite heroic. at least i don't. thats the reason my main toons are a fire/kin troller and a mastermind, i get to feel like i own the battlefield ina gamestyle i like.
    Maybe not a remake but definately major improvements.

I hope this helps you, even if it might not be what you wanted to hear.

    Testing: Lvl 50 Elec/Shield Brute at +8/0/(some yes some no)/no. Ran patron 2nd arc some, Sister Airlia arc completely, and a couple other random missions, 21 in all.

    Kills:

    Minions: 2470
    Lieuts: 1167
    Bosses: 329

    Expected recipe drops: 154 (not including mission complete drops or purples.)
    Recipes received: 160 total (including mission complete drops) - 43 uncommons/rares, 117 commons

    So this was pretty much dead on.

    Expected Purple drops: about 3
    Purples dropped: 0

    Reading posts from people who've farmed purples, the expected drop rate is around 1 per 1500 or 2000 minion equivalents (just like the regular recipes, bosses drop recipies 3x as often as minons, and lieuts drop 2x as often as minions.)

    As this toon has NEVER gotten a purple drop, I have to wonder if there's something wrong here. However, my patience for testing is running out. Adding insult to my dearth of purples, I got on an ITF team, and as we were still filling it, I killed maybe 50 cim wall mobs (no one else was fighting.) Someone ELSE on the team showed off their purple drop from those kills...
    same here, up until 2 days ago my fire/kin never had a purple drop. was doing battle of maide and was abut to clear the whole map. running towards the last 2 mobs i check the recipe inventory and... absolute amazement my first purple. i finish the first mob of the two left and had 2 more purple drops,armageddon and something else. so 3 in one run, and now i'm afraid it will be months untill i'll get the rest, but at least i got 3 at once lol. -1/8.

    We share a game not ideals and ideeas. Loialty to CoH ? even if i could have that regarding a game it would never be coh. Because i feel that what i wanted to have I could have been given... but i havent. why issue 15 did not have costume pieces to celebrate a game revolving around costume and power diversity.... dont know. those 2 dont count...really.
    CoH is just a product and should be treated like one.

    I also have Timmy, Super Timmy and Timothy. all 3 are huge build with colorfull jester costumes. tons of fun!

How about a name generator or giving veteran players some priority on names. I am sure there are pleanty of dead accounts that are soaking up some very cool names. Just a suggection.
    A quick google search will give you at least 10 name generators that cover different themes. But a name chosen from there looses some of its originality.
    Anyway,when i made an illusion controlleer and the name Light was taken I simply put in the name L I G H T. And then i made a fire controler with the name A l e x a n d r a.
    Vets have their rewards and names should not be one of them.

    Did an ITF again and all I got in terms of recipes were an Accuracy and a Taunt. Nothing else.Rest of the team got Numina`s and other rare stuff which I can`t remember right now, but for the 4th time running this task force I did not get a single drop. I get better recipes on radio missions.

    Fulcrum Shifted Rain of Fire is just insane, especially when once you start scourging.
    I`m a bit tempted to go on the dark side, play some villains. And after looking at AT and what they have to offer, I thought the best one I could get was a Rad/Kin Corruptor. Damage and Debuffs Plus the Kinetics. (I play a Fire/Kin on blue side a lot). Why did you delete that one and stuck with Fire/Kin ?

    Our deepest apologies for the sudden absence. Me and 2 of my friends that gathered over at my place for a mini LAN party had to find other things to go (like go outside the house ... play with ... people ...) after a power surge left us with a burned router, microwave and tv.
    We`re planning a rehost in the near future with higher prizes (these ones were really low anyway lol ).
    Thanks for understanding and have phun playin`
  19. MageX
    For the moment the event is Guardian only,blue side. but we have plans for a larger multi server scale of the event depending on its popularity.
    Trials will consist of :
    1 or 2 laps around atlas park (the central one with the npcs and statue) using only sprint/vet sprints and no travel powers.
    A super race around atlas using super powers. should have at least 3 or 4 waypoints.
    A general knoledge round with questions covering coh. and a few questions where you have guess the AV. some of the questions are in the form of .pick the right answer.
    and the last one is finding waldo . we made a toon and we'll hide it in atlas. lol
    prizes are not that high,we know ... but we'll hope to invest more in this sort of fun.
    Also, some of the judges might not be available ,if any of you is willing to give a hand in judging this, please contact me ( @magex ). will be online starting a few hours before we start.
    thanks and have fun!

  21. MageX
    That would be great. Thank you
    The event should take about an hour , maybe less. Anyone interested in an ITF after that ?
  22. MageX

  23. MageX

    I know master has nothing to do with it, but those were the types I ran. And thats a lot of AVs.
    This isn't working, I think it's bugged. Can any redname give a heads up on this? Is it working as intended?
    Last 3 ITF`s before the i16, that I did, dropped NOTHING for me. And by nothing I mean ... few stupid enhancements and some random salvage sold for couple influence coins. Love the TF but the drops were BAD! VERY BAD!
