    I just want you guys to know your work was highly appreciated. Your set design philosophy was fresh and modern, it was what this game needed.

    It's a shame so much work will never get to see the light of day, not even to beta.

    I don't want to ignore anyone else, everyone did great in Paragon Studios, but the power guys tend to get the most hate due to how sometimes they "adjust" stuff downwards.

    Anyways, my regards to both of you.

    You guys were fantastic.



    Here is to Titan Weapons, Street Justice, Martial Combat, Water Blast, Bio Armor, Rad Melee, Rad Armor, Psionic Melee and so much much more.
    My thanks as well.
  2. If my work schedule allows it, I'll be there.
  3. Going to try and get a Dr. Q done for the first time for me.
  4. I put my two cents worth into the Valve campaign coffers.

  6. I'm not even sure you guys will see this, or be able to respond to this at all, but I have to ask anyway.

    I know the two of you have hinted that you were going to do something with Tankers down the line, possibly as soon as i25. Even though that ship has unfortunately sailed, can you give us an idea of what you were thinking?

    Curiosity still abounds, and I'd feel remiss if I hadn't asked the question.

    The "Why"

    I wonder if the shutting of Paragon Studios had something to do with the unnamed project that some of the developers etc. had moved over too. NcSoft may have decided they were going to stop putting funds into the project, and instead of just shutting it down, shut down all of PS. (I.E. throwing the baby out with the bath water.) Shear speculation on my part.

    So that really was you? I know there were a few conversations in tells about it.

    While many of us have differed over the years about your ideas for Tankers, and about your approach to such changes... you're still a Tank player.

    Like it's advertised: All tanks of all levels are welcome.
  9. An interesting theory from another thread that can be found here:

    Cryptic Studios kept the original rights and engine when they separated from NCSoft and sold a 5-year licence to the company. Those 5 years are now up, and since that time Cryptic Studios has developed Champions Online, been bought out by Atari, which was itself bought out by Perfect World. Seeing how Perfect World is another Korean Developer with a Super Hero MMO of its own, it clearly doesn't want competition. Therefore, they will not sell the renewal licence to NCSoft or have made the licence fees too high for profitability.

    Now that this is out of the way, I want to thank everyone I have ever had the pleasure of playing with in City of Heroes. I grew up with the game and matured greatly because of your support. You defined much of who I am today. I hope you all find happiness down the road and never stop believing in your Justice.
  10. To everyone on the Justice server: Thanks for putting up with me all these years. You've been great company, and a lot of fun to hang out with. You will all be missed.
  11. Thanks from me as well.

    Been a fun run. Sad to see it end.
  12. I've had a great pleasure and honor trying to assist everyone I felt I could offer advice to on their builds. I can only hope that my advice has helped a few along the way. With the unfortunate news that NCSoft is going to be closing Paragon Studios and sun setting City of Heroes by the end of the year, I'll be missing this greatly. Thanks to all the friends I've made through the Tanker forums, and through the Tanker Tuesday events. It's been a great hoot.

    While bummed, I'll be here to the bitter end. Hopefully we'll get in one last huge Tanker Tuesday bash to say good bye.

    Hm.. I wonder if we should start a new thread discussing the end of 2012 over/under range for threads with this topic, and the power set "respec" requests...

    Base Rent

    While I never expect the devs to add this functionality (because base code= jenga on fire), it would be nice to be able to pay base rent from say.. THE BASE!
  17. Nope, it hasn't. Last post was August 10th, 2012.

    So you could have read that thread and added to it without it being a necropost.
  18. Wait?


    Has it been three weeks since the last thread "name wipe" thread was posted in?


    Let me go look!

    REVAMP EM set

    While I don't disagree that EM needs help, and hopefully will get looked at soon™...

    I'm surprised no one mentioned A: the Necropost by Titan_Destroyer, and B: that he also bumped his own thread to bring it back to the top of the page. Both forum no-no's.
  20. You are correct: 90 Months.












    (I'll go fix that now... )

    Wait?
    Are you saying they Devs are working on Clown Summoning? You heard it here firs... er, nvm.
  22. While I appreciate the thank you, I'm just a small cog in the Tanker Tuesday Machine. I give many thanks to the folks who started it on Champion and have kept it going there well for over 90 months in a row. I also thank NuclearMedicine, aka @Warboss, for having taken the reins of the tour and continuing to drive it along.
