Ozmosis

Take it easy Baffo!

I can't answer for all countries, but I can shed light for the Quebec reasons:

Also, in this link, the author mentions the prize value must exceed 2000$ Canadian for the rules to apply!

Ya, a massive DC from half the participants didnt help :P

However it was the first time I saw that AV go down so low. I do believe we could have taken him, but Shivans/HVAS and what ever other pets we could muster would probably be necessary. Other than that we had it going.

A little note, we could have used a little more coordination concerning the Forges, next time we need to dedicate one team per forge, instead of having everyone running around willy-nilly!

Now that this contest is over, I'm gonna put in my 2 cents, since I didnt want to bring it off topic before (even tho some others may have done so already).

The AE is a great tool, and needs more attention. These contests are a great way of doing just that. I really like the idea, and it's a goodway of generating a positive "buzz" towards the AE.

However...

I seriously do not get the limitations this contest has been subjected to!

As pointed out by a few other posters before me, not being able to participate to one of CoH's many contest because of where we live, is annoying. I can understand that when the prize is of a monetary value or a physical object, but the prize here is nothing more than a Player title and a gold star... I mean really. No one outside the game would be affected by this; no borders to cross, no money to transfer, nothing!

If at all possible, I would appreciate a detailed explanation on why not every CoH player could participate in this?

My suggestion? Make a different set of rules for when contests have prizes that are related to in-game contents/items only, and require no involvement from outside factors. That way everyone would be able to participate, it would cut down the complaints in these kinds of threads by 1/3, and most likely draw more attention. Not to mention might be waaaay easier on Paragon studios to generate contest prizes? Player Titles and AE status don't cost a thing to give out like actual money or physical prizes, and other ideas could include special enhancements, rare IO sets, or even custom items so the player would be the only one to have it?

Thank you for reading.

You still didnt....

That.... sucks. If I remember correctly, you had dropped a fairly decent amount of coin in on that as well...

Layla Rei would like to join if there is still room. She would bring a scrapper, but has a rad if needed.

The auras look awesome! The capes, meh, I'll never use them but I'm sure other people will.

However, just capes and auras? Is it just me or have the booster packs been getting smaller and smaller lately? I'm hoping this wont go the full 10$ like the other boosters and be less like the party pack.

If they want to sell this at the full price of the booster, I feel it needs something else. This pack is just screaming for a few costume change emotes.

Ok, Ive failed this twice so far, so pardon me if I'm asking n00b questions here, but is there more than one AV after the Obelisks? And 15 minutes, seriously!?!?!

I can if its 8pm Eastern.

I need it on Ycebergg (ice/ice/ice tank) but I got the option between 2 rads if we really need it.

Wait, you changed the time, 8pm CST is what, 9pm eastern? It might be tight, how long does this trial take? I think it's timed for one hour?

Late Happy Birthday

Late Happy Birthday

It is with great regret and sadness that I come here today, to announce to our community, the passing of a fellow player.

For the past 5 years, she was known to the CoH community as @Creepy Chick, or as CC to her close friends. She played on multiple servers, but her gaming experience with CoH started, and was mostly spent on, Protector. Recently, she had branched out to other servers, and spent alot of time on Champion.

Players may remember her as her favorite INV/SS tank, Testy Chick on Protector. Or as Grey Widow Chick on Champion. She had alot of toons on alot of servers, but odds are, if you saw a player running around on either of those servers with a name of (something) Chick, odds are it was her. She was spirited and head strong, and tended to play whatever toon she had like it was a tank, which, as you can imagine, made up for alot of fun times

As per the family's request, her real name will not be revealed for the time being. Players that were close to her may contact me for further information. Those that had her on Facebook may visit her page to offer their condolences.

Option 1!

Revamp, revamp, REVAMP! The old stuff clashes something fierce with the newer options. I understand that some people might want to keep the older costume parts, but they are just really showing their age now.

And please for the love of Pete... REVAMP the friggin NPC/civillians... that's the biggest turn off for me right now, they look REAL old... I would put updating that before updating costume parts.

Happy Birthday
