People going about their daily affairs when suddenly there's an explosion off in the distance and all of a sudden the business man getting his morning paper bursts into flames and flies off; the taxi driver eating a beagle turns into a giant stone golem and lumbers off into the distance; a young family walking in the park stops, the wife kisses her husband as her eyes begin to glow with electrical energy. The scene fades and you see the City of... logo and under it, it says "Where Anyone Can Be a Hero!"


I can only dream

I was in the chalet that night and was also getting irritated by that stone tank... It got even worse when he dropped an Orob portal right in the middle of a group of people; at least one got caught by the thing. I also petitioned him (and I know many others did), and begged them to send a GM to sort it out.

They did. 5 mins later there were TWO GM's in Pocket D, and the "tool" vanished. A buddy of his a little later said that he'd been banned. Not sure if I actually believe that or not, but if it's true.. HA!

So, yay for the GM's. Thank you very much for resolving the problem!

I asked him if his has ever tried a MMORPG before and he said he had gave WoW a try a while back. I told him to try City Of Heroes a go first, as CO plays a lot like WoW. I told him a bit about this and he seemed interested. Especially after I told him this had been around for a lot longer with more content etc.

So... /Signed.

A lot of work went into that suggestion since I had to create pet for every TF/SF and GM then provide a power description to it. Ended up with something like 20 non-combat pets that were all earnable though ingame actions and were an additional reward besides badges.

Avatea did pass the suggestion along to the devs during her weekly 'this is what the EU is thinking/suggesting' info dump but sadly I heard nothing more of it and it's doubtful we will.

Here's a link to that very topic

It's still around...nifty!

I like COH a lot, I used to love it but I am starting to get a little bored with it and need to see some new things in order to stay enthused about the game.

And i hate Nazis being called nationalistic, as they were obsessed with race and religeon, rather than nation and state.
