Not that I'm complaining, but...

The capes and robotic arms would require new models. You can't just 'flip' them.

Not sure what you mean about the chest emblems. You mean the 'over' option appearing on the right breast? Or a graphical flip of the image?

You'd be wrong then.

The 'regeneration' powers have always taken Healing enhancements. You're right that they are different in terms of game mechanics, but Healing on an enhancement works for actual Healing powers, Regeneration rate increases, and increased Hit Point powers.

However, while the 'Regen' powers take Healing Sets, most of them don't really benefit that much from them due to rarely having endurance cost or recharge.

Weather effects are among those things that have been denied which could happen. I'd have to say that, having looked into Rhode Island weather, we're going to be depressed a lot if they implement a remotely accurate weather pattern, however.

How much more depressing could their weather be than ours?

[/ QUOTE ]

I was more comparing the constant sunny days and starlit nights we have in-game now to the largely overcast, rainy days and (frankly) scarily cold winters we would be getting. The daytime temperature in Providence this weekend didn't get above -3C, and it's only November!

Not really. My experience of US cities is wide-ranging, but tends to have been viewed from business hotels. Most US cities which actually are called cities have a fair amount of those building things.

Houston has to be the weirdest, having two 'peaks' of skyscrapers with far lower buildings set around them. Seattle is quite nice, always liked Seattle. Didn't think much of Orlando (that does seem to fit your description). Atlanta looked quite nice though I didn't get to spend much time there. Phoenix is pretty city-like, and warm... very warm... except when it's very hot.

Think I prefer the blue one, but I like blue.
Nice use of the Vanguard head/face pieces, btw.

However i have been playing on the american servers for about 3 weeks now, and it truely is a different game! it takes me back to how Union used to be in the old days, maybe a bit of nostalgia, but everything is alot more soical.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, I came back here after about a year and something's absence. Back to Union. And lo did I see that it was pretty much like it was when I used to play, but before I left. Even the number of total and utter tools who would turn up to be annoying planks at GG RP meets is about the same.

Frankly, I'm sure the numbers have gone down, it's a 5 year old game. But I really do think that some people view the past through binoculars designed to burn a rosey titnt into your retina.

Plus... it's not going to happen, so just drop it.

You're amazingly high on your soapbox today, Carni. Feeling happy?

Anyway, I'd say that either the OP is either the kind of person who makes extremem snap decisions based on playing a game for 10 minutes, or it's actual a second account belonging to one of the "Please merge the servers" crew.

He doesn't sound like he's planning to stay anyway. Does he?

High horse. Off. Please.

Hi,

I am looking to join a active SG with my villains. I was on-line the other night and no one seemed to be on, is this game dead or what.

Doom Exoskeleton - lvl 9 MM
Captain Axis Germany - lvl 4 Corr.
Impossible Man - lvl 4 Brute

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd have to say that posting a request to join an SG and a thread saying the game is dead on the same day is an impressive feat.

Anyway, what times do you play? Not all SGs are likely to be active at all times. Also, what kind of SG do you want? (roleplay, levelling, 'I love to farmed for prestige,' etc)

I belong to a moderately 'active' SG, but I doubt you'd be interested owing to the fact that I don't see you as a roleplayer.

I'm actually thinking that maybe GR should find one of the longer/better/more informative server merger threads and sticky it. I mean, it's about once a week these days...

People who can't fix it themselves, don't deserve to be surfing t3h Interwebz.

Oh, there would have to be a nifty purple Vanguard symbol.

This one is rather amuzing http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nC5h27sinjM. Nicely produced, little long in places to match the music.

This was a Yankowicz, I think, and is mildly insane though the production quality isn't totally wild. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=v4LVbBSyn_E

Sadly, though, the mechanima community just doesn't seem to have noticed CoH like it did WoW. I hate to think what Madcow Studios could produce with the playback mechanism in CoX. It's likely to fairly awesome.

Fine.

Yeah, but most of that comes from the special. You'd be better off using two components and a Heal IO.

I think it is, you just switch someones PvP flag on. The CoV "end of beta" event did this I think.

[/ QUOTE ]

With the I13 PvP changes, and GM-coded Zombies... that's a death sentence in a matter of seconds.

Define "this sort of thing." A lot of games have not exactly stunning videos made using them. WoW has some actually quite good ones, and that guy has done much better ones himself.

It is a shame you can't take the drop ships down anymore though.

Well, I do... But I have to really really like you.

Stop chanelling Ellie, Floaty.

Patchy cloud this morning, heavier cloud this afternoon and a slight break in the freezing weather with a high of 7C today. Look for increasing cloud tonight, with 90% chance of rain after midnight and a low of 4C.

Tomorrow, the rain continues, and the temperature continues to rise.

Other than three parts of Numinas

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, there's a NC:Healing, and the +Reg/+Rec one. What's the third? And you can only use the +Reg/+Rec once...

Or get surrounded, or, say, can't move for the first few seconds because they're zoning... *sigh*

You do if you get mugged coming out the mission door. Which would be more likely with player-zombies.

Why does it matter?

Which is to say, is it required for anything exclusively, and so makes building some specific thing impossible.

Yes, they do, not nearly as much as the US boards. Yes, you need a US account to post to their forums.

I would like the 'Marvel Zombies' suggestions we had had over the years re: The Signature Heroes being infected and running rampage, travelling through the zones infecting other Signature Heroes

[/ QUOTE ]

This kind of thing rapidly results in unusable servers unless the infection is very well understood. There are several rumours, which may be correct, that Blizzard called an early halt to the Wrath zombie plague simply because no one could actually play the game anymore and they were getting more complaints than praise.

On the face of it this does seem like unconsentual PVP, but...

[/ QUOTE ]

As Phantoms says, there is no 'but' here. If it happens, it changes the game's philosophy of PvP. If that happens, they will discourage people from playing. CoH was founded on not having any PvP.
