I have an interesting memory. I can forget certain things in seconds, but others will stick with me forever.

*desperately tries to remember if he's met Decimator, Destroyer and Destructor in a mission*

[/ QUOTE ]

I know I've beaten Decimator, and i'm pretty sure ive beaten Destroyer and Destructor. Unfortunately I think I've beaten all of them before level 10.

CoV has one, now CoH needs a Hellion EB(s). maybe add a story arc that that chronicles Tempter after his prison escape, and you eventually find/fight him.

The backgrounder was good, but I thought the Skulls' was better.

Do not trust scrappers to act properly in groups.

HEY!

Ok nevermind, it's true =)

[/ QUOTE ]

It's called scrapperlock, I believe. /me GUILTY!

[/ QUOTE ]

Guilty, almost refused to leave a completed mish because there were still some mobs to fight.

IN CoX, DO NOT:
-Not do the tuorial, then ask what everything in the blasted game is.
-Invite a character above level 8 onto a beginning sewer team
-Attempt to cross Grendel's Gultch below level 14
-Go to Faultline without a travel power
-Get Vahz hunt mishs, especially if they require you to go to Faultline
-Play an invincible setting mish with a 5+ person team that less than 2 melee characters on it.
-Take any AT for granted

Read it again, and I have to say this is the best backgrounder yet.

It's genuinely macabre, it rings true (Eastern European - perfect) and it makes the Skulls INTERESTING.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed

I did a mission today with my new troller, Antimatter Flux and the mish title was 'Defeat Marrow Drinker and his crew' luckily for me it wasn't MD, it was Eulogy. but still, having the mission title at level 7 is rather pathetic, considering that there are level 10 Skulls in High Park (KR), and because the founders of the Skulls deserve better because of their story. (see my first post in the thread)

The Skulls are cool now, after reading their backstory. Only one complaint though, I've fought both Marrowsnap and Marrow Drinker, they were only bosses. They aren't as strong in game as we are lead to believe in the backgrounder. I suggest that they be put into a Frostfire size misson or small TF, upgraded to Elite Bosses or weak AV's, be put in the same room on big, gaudy, gothic thrones, and have powers from every dark powerset in CoX.

Marrowsnap: Obsidian Shield, Shadow Maul, Smite, Nightfall, and Howling Twilight.

Marrow Drinker: Murky cloud, Shadow Punch, Dark Blast, Gloom, and Tenebrous Tentacles.

The AI would have Drinker at Blast Range and snap at Melee range, with Howling Twilight on autofire.

That would be an awesome fight right there, especially with a certain one of my characters. (see sig)

Quite a Cryptic update there. Nice screenshot, though.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well it is Cryptic Studios

I could probably go, I live in Corpus Christi, which is about 4 1/2 to 5 hours away (San Antonio's 3 hours away)

Recluse: Mwahaha, soon, all the heroes will be lying before me, powerless! And with my newfound power, and SUPREME rule, I shall exact the most dastardly, evil, unspeakably VILE plan of action against the populace of Paragon!!

Ghost Widow: And that would be?

Recluse: I shall take over all the radio stations of Paragon, and blast Richard Simmons workout tapes over the airwaves, so that all will work out along with me, so we tighten our tummies, and tone our tushies!!

Ghost Widow: ...

Recluse: Now, where's my blanky, I need my nap before I can begin working!!

Ghost Widow: ... ...

Anyone know which kind of Legacy Chain the 4th picture is? I've never seen one that looks like that and I couldn't place which zone it was taken in.

Perhaps Grandeville?

[/ QUOTE ]

That looks like lot like the Legacy of Light bosses, so that's what I assume it is. As for the zone, it LOOKS like the Hell Forge is in the background, which would indicate that the zone is Sharkhead.

Anyway, very nice article. It's good to hear a little more about the Legacy Chain, and it really is a shame that they don't seem to go above level 30 in CoV.

EDIT: Sleepy, have you ever done the "The Evil Countess Crey" story arc? That has something pretty close to what you're looking for, I think.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think they're called Radiant of Light.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think their full name is Radiant Legacy of Light

buuuuuuut...

What do I know, my highest char on CoV is 16

For shields, I do remember it being used by one of the villains.. I forget who though, but he used it like a phase shift where he cant do anything and I cant hit him. Twas pretty neat.

[/ QUOTE ]

I recently helped with the defeat Maestro mission and the Ascendants become invulerable after they turn into their Council logo-shaped shield.

Shield sets, meh, Pistols sets, WOOOOT

Some more good news...

Ice Tankers and SR Scrappers have long lamented that Defense doesn't scale with level. Because mobs higher level than a player possess an inherent to hit bonus, Defense isn't as effective over levels as Resistance.

A while ago, peoople have requested something be done. Well, we've done a bunch of work and done this. Defense powers will now work equally well against critters, regardless of their rank or level. For instance, your defense powers will work equally well against a Boss or any critter up to 5 levels higher than you, as it does for an equal level minion. This change has no effect on a player who does not have any Defense.

This change is coming in I7

[/ QUOTE ]

I was right. serious nerfs to CoH (ED, I5, I6) to prepare for serious buffs to CoH to balance it with ED, I5, and I6. They done the nerfs first to get the nastiness out of the way.

Disclaimer: not meant as a troll/told ya/brag/negative things post.

That was good, 5 stars to you

I would assume that all of the known red names played the character they are.

Thus, Jack = States, Posi = Positron, War_Witch = War Witch, Ravenstorm = Ravenstorm.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well that makes sense, lol

This makes me wish I was in beta

I wonder if ol' Emmert will actually be in front of the computer or if Statesman will just be an NPC. WOW that would be cool to open unlimited bottles of kick butt on the lead designer of CoH.

[/ QUOTE ]

There's nothing to say either way.. though if I remember reading correctly about the Rikti Invasion during the CoH Beta, the devs were playing Rikti bosses..

[/ QUOTE ]

COOL! That means he might be playing Statesman... for real
