Night-Hawk07

Yeah, you have to worry about how CNN would spin the story if they were to run it. My concern would be them giving out the wrong details (which happens a lot) or reporting it in a way that, rather than making us out to be dedicated fans, they make us out to be a bunch of 35 year old virgins nerdraging in Mom's basement.

Shared on Twitter (though I only have 24 followers...). Hopefully, the #ireport thing is counted.

Somewhat out of date as my CoH and CO costumes have changed a bit recently. I'm sort of waiting for better DCUO costume pieces so I can get a similar appearance between the 3 to do an updated shot.

First character and main character, originally from Protector: Night-Hawk (now Knight'Hawk on Freedom).



Created June 2007, the first costume is an approximation as I only had it on him for about a week or so before moving on to the 2nd costume (minus the rocket boots; didn't get those for another couple years). That 3rd costume came after the I17(?) doppelganger arcs after the first one was "destroyed" when that building explodes at the end of the second part. And finally that last costume was made here on the forums in the "costume re-design" thread by Fennec (along with some armored variants).

He's always been a MA/SR Scrapper, though after StJ came out I considered re-rolling him as a StJ/WP Scrapper as that would probably be far more accurate (he's what I think I would be if I were a hero, and I have zero martial arts training, though I do have good reflexes ). Obviously now, there'd be no point, but in the end I probably wouldn't have done it anyway.

Even after the servers go dark, be that 3 months or 3 years, you will find him occasionally helping out in Millennium City and Gotham City. Not ready to hang up the cape just yet.

That sucks. I didn't know him by name, but saw who he was through Facebook. I always knew him as "the big dude from The Green Mile". My brother's not going to be happy, he was a big fan. RIP.

That's an....interesting site; especially for an article about CoH to appear on. Nevertheless, publicity is publicity.

While I'm not calling Smedley a liar, I've learned that in a lot of cases like these "no" really means "not right now". What he said in that message may have been true at the time he wrote it, but I bet after he hit "send" the thought crossed his mind as something to bring up at their next big meeting. And even if they (SOE) don't go for it, that doesn't mean no one else will, so until the servers go dark in November I'm still hopeful.

Fusionette I could tolerate. Flamebuex....

I haven't lost it yet. I still firmly believe that there's a chance we haven't fought our last battle; I think that hope, no matter how ridiculous some may think it is, may be what's holding me together. That said, I made a trip to the store earlier and was listening to my iPod. "Rise of the Heroes" is on it....I almost had to pull over....

It'll probably hit me like a bus when my account lapses in a few days.

5. The game world(s). Only thing I'd have wanted to see was the bringing down of the war walls in Paragon and make it more like Praetoria. The zone revamps we were getting were nice too. I'm going to miss the immovable boxes, too.

4. The story. All of it. There's such a deep history to this game, and so much detail (one of my other favorites) in it. Even the CoH universe has only been around for 8+ years, it seemed like it'd been around far, far longer than that.

3) The details, mostly the little ones. Everything from the NPC conversations, to the seemingly more natural animations our characters had (compared to the other two). The top 3 things I'm going to miss here are cape physics, knockback, and ragdoll physics.

2) The "feel". For the 5 or so years I was here, I actually felt like a superhero. Not just an errand-boy with a cape and not a 4th stringer either. Sure we had the Freedom Phalanx to look up to, but as you leveled up and gained experience, you started taking on the same threats as them and working alongside them. And with the Incarnate content, you could surpass them. My main is an Incarnate, and it's weird but awesome that after 5 years here the NPC conversations always defer to my character's judgement "because of my stature". It feels....heroic.

1) The people. From the Devs, to the gamers, to the forumites. I'm probably not the most well known here (or anywhere), but I've been in a few game communities (or have been) and this is by far the best one out there. Even with some fights and disagreements, I think at the end of it all whether that's in 3 months or 3 years, we're all brothers and sisters thanks to this game. If the unbelievable happens and this game is saved, I think this crisis will only make us stronger and bring us closer.

Keep forgetting about all that. I have ~10 days to run the iTrials at least once and wrap up the whole Praetorian story (the parts that we have anyway).

I've posted this in one of the other threads, but felt it was appropriate, especially cause it was done by one of our own: City of Heroes Orchestral: Rise of the Heroes.

Didn't see this posted yet, but I'm curious what other peoples' plans were for the next 6 months - a year (if you were looking that far ahead).

For me, I recently contracted Altitus. A few months ago, I think I only had 3 characters on either side of the fence, and none were above level 20. Now, I have 4 or so on either side and 2 in Praetoria, and most of them are slowly climbing in level (one is just about to hit 30, the next highest is about to hit 15). So I was going to be here a while trying to level all them up.

Another project was base building with my main. I finally really hit it hard a couple weeks ago, and slowly things were coming together. With that same character, I was also working my way up the Incarnate tree, so both of those things were going to keep that toon busy for a while (plus wanting to do the standard Trials and TFs, especially the ones that counted for the Taskforce Commander badge).

Finally, I was considering a sequel to the AE arc in my sig. One that told the story of the relationship between Knight'Hawk and Dark'Falcon (the former's Praetorian counterpart), and what was going to lead to the latter switching from Villain to Vigilante.

So, what were y'all going to do?
