There was a NCSoft booth and and a general NCSoft M&G in Indianapolis during GenCon 2007. It's not the one Marcian's asking about (it was during the same year), but felt it was worth pointing out.
Oh, and there's my car! Oh, and White Castle! -

Actually, there was a post by Manticore years ago that said the whole thing was, in fact, an accident. He says he didn't remember the connection between Statesman and Ms. Liberty when he put the bio together for Dominatrix, and when the player base pointed out the implications his reaction could be summed up as "Oh, crud. Oops?"
I'd be happy that way. -

Quote:A LOT. They usually just call them Patches or quietly call them "v.62" or something like that. Look, I'm all about Team City of Heroes and no one that's spent five minutes with me doubts that loyalty. We are not, however, the only game to give free extra content.Originally Posted by Westley
I wonder how many free content updates other MMOs give to their playerbase...
Love City of Heroes, just pointing that out. -

Sure you can.
And we can express how tired we get of it all.
Kindly point me in the direction of that ignore button. -
Posi's task force was the first I ever did. It took 6 hours. By some miracle, it was a PUG of people that had never met each other and we managed to all stay in the group and enthusiastic the whole time.
It was my first time, and I thought it was meant to be rough. Took me a long time to realize that Task Forces are intended to be 1-2 hours with a tight-knit group of friends.

Oh my. That's VERY animated.

So does mine. Capes, too, on her secondary and tertiary costumes. Here's hoping...

I'd say PvP. There was a cult following, and the traded those players out for a larger group... only they forgot the "larger group" part.
While not necessary to a game, balanced and interesting PvP can be a huge draw to people, and I feel strongly that Paragon Studios is missing out on this opportunity. -
Clarification: Yes, I ride City of Heroes/Villains pretty hard here. You should know that the way I'm wired, I make fun of what I love the most. I'm screamingly excited for I17, which looks to be one of my favorite updates in a while.
I17: It'll pop your nips
I17: In which the world gets greater, more daring, and far more epic, but the cat herd cares not.
I17: Swishy justice
I17: Ebil peoples call it "Light Mirror"
I17: First his helmet, then his task force.
I17: Dual Pistols: Like Solo Pistols up to 11.
I17: Epic Archetypes: The true mark of honor for those that have endured and experienced the depths and heights of the City of Heroes experience now available in bulk at Wal-Mart!
I17: Please love AE again. It can change, it swears. Just call it.
I17: Ultra Mode: Smoke and Mirrors (literally)
I17: Heya, AE again. Look, if you go on one date with me (just one!), I promise to pay full experience. We won't even have to go Dutch. I'm really changed.
I17: "Kill All" missions no longer include patience and sanity.
I17: Badges: Even more false binary validation of your uniqueness. Get one before everyone else!
I17: Increased Mission Count: So that six burning buildings can wait while you answer a domestic disturbance.
I17: AE again. You know what? I don't even need you. I have Venture, and Arbitar Fabulous and... and... you know what? They love me enough. Go grind Katie Hannon for all I care. That little harlot will give you whatever drops you want. Screw you. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna go find the next Player Character I see, go up to them, and give them allllllll kinds of badges just for thinking of testing an AE arc. And I'm gonna take pictures of their badge page and post them on your Facebook. Screw you! I don't need you! ...
*sniff*... hold me like you did by the instanced mission on Sharkhead Isle. -
Issue 17: Where a great many features get shoved off the desk, that we may rapidly and furiously make love to animated tails.

Quote:The running tally gets tiresome. Let's keep this thread for its intended purpose, shall we? Animated Tails.Originally Posted by The_Coming_Storm
It sucks. It sounds like they are adding new hero content but not an equal amount of villain content, unless SM is being revamped with the Dark Mirror enemy too.
For which I am quite excited. Just called my best friend and had a gosh of a time trying to explain why this is such toe-tapping news. -
Animated Tails means that Golden_Girl's dream is only a bit of a ways away. In the mean time, time to reconsider making animal characters (Non-moving tails were sincerely the reason I hadn't made them before).

First thing to go is your memory......
We, uh... we were talking about acid, right? -
Thanks, Slim!
Now I'm trying to figure out how I got there and back... and where I slept that night. It was all a huge blank. Did I just magically teleport there? -

Austin.
Which is where the community liason folks were initially based out of.
I went to one pre-Con meet up, but I live in California... -
Trying to remember the order of things, and I'm having trouble remembering where the City of Heroes Meet & Greet was. You know, the one that happened before the official Hero Cons?
Anyone that knows would be beloved. Thanks! -

I r on East Coast. Maybe Gothess can go to this one, as well? Gothy, pick up the slack!
Edit: Also just wanted to say that East Coast luvin' by Paragon Studios has been a long time comin'. I hope you all enjoy the exclusives and fun that comes from chilling with the Devs and Reps!

Quote:An anonymous bird did let me know that the phrase "in all capacities" has many interpretations, which will be a valued fact when they add more to the story but don't want the ESRB be to "OMGENCEST!"Originally Posted by Mr_Grey
I really hate to disagree with you, Abrahms, but considering the implication of the relationship between Tyrant and Dominatrix (as evidenced by her description), I'm more inclined to believe he truly is a Complete Monster and that this whole whitewashed world really is only a few years old...

Quote:You're saying exactly what I and everyone else has been saying this whole time.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I'm not back-pedlding - I'm just trying to point out that some types of Primal Earth heroes could end up serving Tyrant without needing to grow moustcaches first
Done with this. -
Quote:I love you, Golden Girl. You're a true American.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Well, it's still a heck of a lot better than your mass murder solution
After all, that's the sort of thing only a tyrant would do
Still not sure about the "Epic soul mates/Eternal Enemies" outcome, yet. -
And we've just invented internment camps. Interesting.

Quote:Detaining who? And if you're saying "the bad people", keep in mind that I painted a world where you don't know who's bad until they start their sprees (as is the case in the real world).Originally Posted by Golden Girl
It'd be wrong to kill people just becasue they might turn out bad - so I'd suggest detaining them in a slightly more secure version of the Zig
Are you suggesting we detain all supers? -
Oh, and:

Quote:All right, let's put out the one that's coming up in Going Rogue:Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I have lots of depth - but asking questions about saving babies lying on railroad tracks doesn't strike me as a plausible situation anyone would ever find themselve in
You can have a country without crime. To maintain this country, however, you need to kill everyone with super powers, as there is (in this world) a 50% chance that Supers turn evil and go on Red-side sprees that overpower your own peace-keepers. By the time you find out someone's gone Red-Side, it's usually because it's too late.
If:- Super Powered people make up .1% of the population
- Killing them means killing them all without knowing their potential for good or evil, as you can't risk it.
- Allowing them to live drastically increases the chance of hate crimes, sexual assault, robbery, arson, and other such nastiness.
So... a world with no crime and the offing of all Supers?
Or a world full of viciously pointless crimes and everyone being given a free shake?
It's a decent translation of the "babies on a railroad track" scenario, and it's the one Cole made. Your go. - Super Powered people make up .1% of the population
