Oh, and if you can get that done by HeroCon, that'd be great.

Larissa, I saw the bust he did of your main. That rocks!

Actually I want to say that while Clayton didn't allow himself to say so directly, the implication was when I was speaking to him after the panel, that they WERE going to be doing things to the older parts of the game.

MA tools are tailor made for quick makeovers of the kinds of cookie-cutter "story arcs" we see at the lower levels.
Turn a couple of people loose on it and see what they come up with. It's a no lose proposition.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well it's like they said, "we're using the Mission Architect like the Last Starfighter game..."
[/ QUOTE ]
I caught that reference in the vid, thought it was hilarious.
Sounds like a quote: "MA is out Last Starfighter" -
Bill, you forgot the "I should get free server transfers during 2XP/Rikti Raids weekend" threads...
Edited, because these exact same arguments come up when the Rikti Raid weeks are announced. -
Did someone say cake?

If it's a strait up solo base, you don't need more than one TP pad, because you can just swap out the beacons as you need them. And has been said before, throw your alts in there, having 15 will get you that prestige bonus.

-Heroes get more attention because it is the original game, the game opens up to the City of Heroes screen, rather than the City of Villains screen, and as said before, everyone loves a hero.
[/ QUOTE ]
That's entirely dependent on what set of CDs or which installer you used to install the game. I rebuilt my PC some time ago and installed using the CoV CDs (since I didn't want to use the updater you can download). I get the CoV splash screen when I start up the game. I actually think you can swap them out by just pointing to a different executable regardless of what you used to install the game.
Players that started with City of Villains may be used to seeing a CoV splash screen. No idea what kind of splash screen the Mission Architect version uses, but I think it's different than the one used by CoH.
[/ QUOTE ]
Actually the splash screen is determined by what you logged onto last. If you were last playing a villain, then the next time you log in, you will see the villain background, if you last logged into a hero, the next time you log in you will see the hero background.
And as for villain-side downsizing, I'm sure the disparity in zone/content red-side vs blue-side has something to do with it.
Edited for spelling. -
Like SunGryphon said, the lower level content is perfect for new people just learning the game.
Also, do the Tutorial offered at the beginning, and read everything, there is information in there about combat, slotting enhancements, and using inspirations. All valuable information.
Several others mentions server loads (not server population) and Double XP Weekend (2XP). You will often see Freedom and Virtue greyed out (and inaccessible) during these events, and like they also pointed out if you refresh your server selection screen you can often gain access to them.
I'd recommend against that for the simple reason that it's much more fun to actually be playing the game, rather that attempting to get into Freedom or Virtue. I'd head up a server or two and select one of those (especially next weekend.) You'll find plenty of people to team with, but not experience as much lag.
And Welcome to the Game! -

On the other hand, as I said in the other thread my pre-pet Controllers with teamcentric secondaries would love it, and I might even be willing to play Defenders. Yes, it would be bad if poorly implemented, but the idea has potential I think.
[/ QUOTE ]
If you actually need a 'rent-a-buffbot' to be able to play a Defender, we'd rather you didn't.
Edited for use of 'sidekick'. -
[ QUOTE ]
Will people still have a place to complain about freedom being full over 2xp weekend?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, but with the improvement to the forums, only the people that P&M about 2XP weekend will be able to see those messages, the rest of us will be blissfully unaffected. -
Well, there is Taskforce Tuesdays! which runs a different TF every Tuesday evening starting at 8 EDT.
Even if slotting fills up, it's good to gave backup, for when someone has to cancel. -

... If we've been having issues with getting NC mail, what then? I have to wonder, because the only NC emails I've been getting are my bug reports and petitions in the live game. Nothing whatsoever other than those.
Gosh this year has gone by so fast.This is just... so cool.
[/ QUOTE ]
Likewise. I haven't changed my email address since I started playing but it has been over a year since I last got any game email other than bug and petition report replies. I used to get NC Soft emails.
[/ QUOTE ]
I've never gotten those supposed Newsletters one of the rednames mentioned a while back. -
A group of us started new character to test a 1-15 MArc. Great fun, challenging, not too many deaths. We are all still trying to maintain equal levels, a group-pact would have been great to test.

Often when I'm playing a defender, I think I should get a SLOW LEARNER badge for seeing "Cannot Target Yourself" in my upper window every time I'm dishing out buffs.
[/ QUOTE ]
That's funny.
Although Aett, I think "Missed it by that much." would be more appropriate, with the badge being a hand with the index finger and thumb held about an inch apart.

And you don't have to wait until your trial period is up to update to the full version, the time is tacked on so you wont be losing the X days left on your trial. Just remember to apply the code to your trial account, not create a new one.
-
The Bootleg is the original trial version, wasn't sure if it would stack. Though I should probably get it just to have it.
-
I've actually made a hobby of collecting every released boxed version. I think I still need the original CoH, and that's it. (Except for the M&G codes, chances for those are slim.
)
