But well worth the hardship when getting the badges at the end of it

Agreed, there is always the ethos of 'never enough' for high-end users, but if you have never seen Paragon at its full potential because you have been low-spec then it is definately a treat when you see a game you have been playing for so long in a new light.

I remember when I first got my Geforce card 3 years ago and suddenly the top layer of water was translucent and spandex had a newfound sheen to it as I rotated around my character - I was utterly transfixed.

And now the Devs say they have been holding back on just what the engine is capable of, maybe if they let rip with the current game-engine features It'll keep the wolves from the door for a year or two with regard to the mounting requests for an engine overhaul or redux.

Totally agree as my friends on game will testify to, from hearing me on ts... Had a 4 year old machine and was like playing in monochrome then the machine went bang!! Have now got a machine that was made by a friend and generously sold to myself (thanks ) Now I have all the graphics set at high...WOW

Would take me ages to get to a mission, just standing under a tree watching the leaves fall...Quietly saying leaves, leaves, leaves...

The city does look a whole lot better than I first played on my 4 year old monochrome machine.

Hmmmm not sure wishing hard for something and repeating mantra's actually works though

Was a good try though Cynic..Points for trying

Would definitely add Mighty to the list, great guy, never forgotten.

I';d also add

Pyra (great for n00bish posts and a top class lady )

Snow (quite possibly one of the nicest guys in the game!)

Dreamweaver (for being quite possibly one of the funniest people in the game and on these forums! )

Plight Trawler!! (what a guy!!)

Tainted Greek (if only for his awesome radio shows that took weirdness and sexiness to a whole new level!!)

I'm sure there's more I've forgotten

First 50 I ever saw in game was one called "Wall" Tank not seen him/her around for years now though.

Coin
Spad
Spawnus
OoNA
Zhann
Bloody Torso
Buggman
River

And many more...

Have a friend who has a Dark/Dark Tank, he does like his Tanks (ALOT).. But he hasn't been that impressed with them so far, they do seem to be weaker Tank to the others. But i'm no expert no Tanks will stick to Blasters and Brutes

Will make sure he as a read of this, as nice read!

2008 is my guess

Did you read and use the guide's above? As found the debuff's one of the hardest to do as a Blaster till got this guide..

Also quick tip, see if you can get one of the stealth IO's in your travel powers, works woders when you have missions you can just ghost

My personal favourite!

"Your a BLASTER not a TANK!!!" Have herd that a few times

Try here Badge Info

This is what I used.

Someone say cake?

All the best

Have always considered the Blaster as a Blapper myself, never heard of the term Blasty?

Sure, much worse, but it was the sort of mistake you would make if the stress of the job was getting to you.

Another valid point and can believe being a Com Mod on the CoX forums

If someone where already considering a change of scene, and then made a serious mistake, it might help them to make up thier mind...

[/ QUOTE ]

Valid point.. But have seen worse mistakes made....

I'm guessing it's got nothing to do with the rumours, more like he needs a change, as being a Com Mod is not an easy job.. *looks at GR* dealing with the problems that arise on the forums.

Lighthouse most likely needs a change and something else after so long being a Com Mod..

To Coin, always willing to help with the camera action for events;

A flying saucer landed at a gas station on a lonely country road. The two space aliens inside seemed completely unconcerned about detection; in fact, the letters "UFO" were emblazoned in big, bold letters on one side of their shiny craft. As the station owner stood and gawked in silence, paralyzed with shock, his young blonde attendant nonchalantly filled up the tank and waved to the two aliens as they took off.

"Do you realize what just happened?" the station owner finally uttered.

"Yeah," said the blonde attendant. "So?"

"Didn't you see the space aliens in that vehicle?!"

"Yeah," repeated the blonde attendant. "So?"

"Didn't you see the letters 'UFO' on the side of that vehicle?!"

"Yeah," repeated the blonde attendant. "So?"

"Don't you know what 'UFO' means?!"

The blonde attendant rolled his eyes. "Good grief, boss! I've been
working here for six years. Of course I know what 'UFO' means
'Unleaded Fuel Only.'"

Hoping that the "War Walls" would come down, not sure how feasable that would be though or even possible...

Would like to see an Nrg Scrapper

Time. What a funny thing. In retrospect it seems like it was only just yesterday to recall my first posts on the forums. Yet, when I fill in everything that ensued over the last two years, a collage of details swims up at me: Issue 8, Veteran Rewards, lewtz!, Aliens, comics, Fanzines, flashbacks, player events, Trade shows, City Scoops, articles, all the awesome people at NCsoft I’ve had the opportunity to work with, and so much more. Yet through it all – it’s been you, the game’s community, which stands out to me the most. When I’m in game playing and see a new player getting advice in /help or a global channel, when I read threads on the forums or when I open e-mail or private messages, I’ve always been impressed at the quality and caliber of people that make up this game’s community.

However, this world we live in is not a static place. If anything, one certainty we have is the knowledge that things change. It is with this in mind that I write you today to say that I’m making a change. I have decided to pursue other opportunities outside of NCsoft.

Even having said this, I’m still excited to for the future of the City of Heroes franchise. Having been privy to some of the many plans that are in work, know that I will be right there beside you playing and enjoying the fruits of the Development Team and NCsoft’s hard work. I leave knowing that you are in good hands.

I want to wish you all the very best for everything the future holds in store.

Whenever I comment that the game has gone really quiet people scream at me "it's because half the people are on test playing Issue 13".
So I decided to pop on the test server and do a lil head count,and the results are as follows.....

4 people on test including me lmao.

-uber maths skill active-

Surely we got more than 8 players in total?

If this is the case how are the anti-DOOM brigade gonna pass this one off!

Looks like you have made a valid point, but I Have noticed that you have been shot down in flames again There really is no point in posting these kind of concerns, by reading the above posts some are very happy to play a MMO solo Or by teaming with friends they have met over the time spent on game..

But nothing is going to change the way people enjoy the game or play the game, everyone to there own. People pay there money to enjoy the game and will play it there way i.e. solo, teaming! They will have there say in the forums as they have paid for the right, and as much as it sounds they love the game as much as anyone else, doesn't mean there wrong or right its just an opinion.

Yes I have concerns about the number of people playing the game at the moment and have lost some friends to otherside of the pond, but still have friends this side (defiant! I have come to the conclusion that the best way to judge whether the time has come to move on is with the release of i13 / i14 to see who comes back and if the population increases at that time until then, i'm here playing the game I love either solo or teaming either way is still an experience to enjoy.

Footnote;
Can they not try better marketing, hardly see anything at all in magazines, or on TV. Have heard it before in a post not sure by whom, can't they sponsor "heroes"? Sure that would make more people aware of the game and possiblely increase the player base.

We're doing ok - I13 will be good, as will I14 and especially I15

[/ QUOTE ]

But we could be doing great i13 sounds ok, looking forward to the badge QoL, but i14 sorry I am one of those thats not really in to the MA (but should be fun seeing what players come up with..) i15 ermm nothing been hinted at either way so not even thinking of it at moment.

So "doing ok is not great"

[ QUOTE ]
No.

[/ QUOTE ]

You sure you don't want to think it over Mr Wabbit? There's a carrot in it for you!!

So there could be fewer people actually playing the game than the numbers state, as those number reflect accounts not players. Ahhh crud thats not nice news!!

Lord not this again

Not even he can save you now..muhaahaa..*cough* That laugh is bad on the old voice box

[ QUOTE ]
They have to be included since two accounts from same player are individual accounts to NCSoft and to the servers at all effects.

[/ QUOTE ]

So the numbers don't really reflect the actually player numbers, but number of accounts? Is that correct?

Just wanted to ask, do the numbers take in to account, members with more than one account?
