Quote:Same plan. With the exception of an already planned vacation for a the first week in october, I expect to be in and playing every day. Looking forward to tonight -- probably will bring Zolena Wren, Fire/fire/fire blaster.Originally Posted by Paragon
I'll be here until the lights go out. Literally. I plan to take the last day off work and spend as much of it on the streets and in the skies of Paragon City... -
The CoH Codex (http://home.roadrunner.com/~scuzzbopper/) is a pretty impressive resource for all things demo-recording. The issue is that it is about 4 years out of date - is anyone else cataloging information?

Quote:Just considering the fact that a potential suitor would likely have to renegotiate the Cryptic Engine license complicates the process of selling to anyone other than Cryptic, lest NCsoft signed a new licensing agreement first, which could then be transferred....Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
Some possible reasons include:
1.) They tried, and no one was willing to buy it (at least for a price they'd consider acceptable... CoH the IP still has value for them, even just sitting on it).
2.) They weren't expecting it to come to this, and by the time they realized they'd need to get rid of Paragon, there simply was no time to spend possibly months looking and negotiating.
3.) Their agreement with Cryptic (now PWE) would introduce complications, such as them not being able to further resell the IP/engine, or PWE would have to approve the buyer getting the engine.
4.) They didn't need the additional money beyond what they'd get by killing Paragon, so they're going to keep the IP around to see what they can do with it later.
5.) Maybe they plan on doing an APB, and selling it once they're done closing up shop. Take their time, and get the biggest buyer.
6.) Similar to 3, but maybe they don't even know if they could legally sell it, and are still trying to consult with their lawyers.
These are just a few I thought up off the top of my head. Are any of these the situation? Who knows. But people seem to be extremely uncreative when it comes to trying to figure out the motivations of others. -

There are just no words.
Except this.
I will set aside <snip> and play COH until they close shop.
Nonstop.

OKay, okay. We've been VERY serious and sad and determined here.
This is just a way to inject a slight bit of levity here. I do NOT recommend this as something to say to Mr. Newell for real. But... Ghostbusters quote mangling here:

Hopefully I can get someone to smile at this. ^_^ -

A huge part of me is really, really, REALLY hoping this is some sort of sick and twisted marketing scheme that Black Pebble has concocted and forced you all to collude in in order to announce on Tuesday "Surprise, COH 2 launching December 1, 2012!" Deep down though, there is a very small voice ever so quietly consoling me that this really is the end. And, while there still is time, so many thank yous are in order. Thank you Posi, for working with this group of amazing designers, artists, writers, marketers, community leaders, and players -- this virtual world and its community is an achievement like no other and I am thankful to have had an opportunity to be part of it for 8 years.

Put me down, I will join.

Message sent. My plea was for them to conduct a feasibility assessment in thehope that the profit potential would make a purchase of the game worthwhile.

Quote:Ben Affleck did win an oscar for co-writing Good Will Hunting.....Originally Posted by Father Xmas
The two released films he directed, The Town and Gone Baby Gone, have been well received so as a director he does have so chops. As part of the Kevin Smith entourage he has access to a group of hard core fans (which may be a bad thing being how hard core fans are) can help targeting the motivations of each member. It still however revolves around the need for a decent script because it doesn't matter how great he may be able to direct the actors, if the script leans Schumacher-like it's going to be a big fail.

Another Update I would like to post
UPDATE
As promised pics of the weapon, also the second set shoulder pads, second rendition of the nail Mohawk, a Shield, bar code face tat and a cape
Note: Shoulder pads have 6 options so you can wear them non symmetrical just like the tire shoulder pads. Shield can take on decals as well. OH! the chain on the chainsaw is a scrolling texture so it animates ^_^ I will have pics of the Female and Huge next week.
have a great weekend!
EDIT: Going to make some changes on the patchwork on the cape.
Ooooh nice -- will the barcode be possible on the back of the head, perhaps with a bald and buzz cut option (regardless of gender)?
Edit -- the cape will be pretty versatile too! -

Personally I adore her costume and wish we could have pieces for ourselves like the jacket!
I read a blog article abut her costume where the author compared it to.. some kind of Dominatrix outfit...I am sorry but I just don't see it.. you say collar I see a buckle you say thigh high boots and we have like four pair off thigh high boots to choose from for our own characters.
The other comments about it mismatching I can at least understand, for you it's aesthetics. I For one feel it matches just fine.
I can see it is not Golden aged.. or standard comic book styled it is modern, techy, sexy and fun and yes with a hint of anime. It also reminds me of a costume from GI Joe.
Was there this much of a fuss over Sister's costume? -

Praetoria and the Rogue Isles would really benefit from an iteration of the phasing technology that could put select NPC mission givers into those zones based on alignment. I will continue to dream about that....
Also, at level 20, Mistress Eva of the (Carnival of Light) in Talos [as well as Carter Mordeson in Cap for villians] contacts you about going to First Ward, which technically puts you back in Praetoria from 20-30ish. -

Unexpected downtimes are by definition unexpected by everyone including the devs and as such cannot be announced ahead of time.

I had asked in one of the Mako threads if there was any intention of bringing it down today -- alas, this appears to be the response....

That's because he was kept under control - this wasn't one of his vanity projects where he has license to indulge his trademark "coolness" for a season before cancellation - it was a carefully planned operation that was the climax of several years of work from other directors and writers who had established the universe, situations and characters that the movie would use.GG has a radical bias against Joss Whedon -- once you understand that, it's easier to bypass it. And, yes, kudos to her for smiling while gutting Joss of any credit.Quote:Originally Posted by Lothic
This is one of the better back-handed compliments I've ever seen. You're basically saying the only reason Whedon did a good job with the Avengers movie is that he was so well constrained and controlled by his venue that he had no ability to do anything beyond what a well trained chimp could have done from a writing and directorial point of view. Obviously the fact that he's been working in Hollywood and in comics for decades had no bearing on his ultimate ability to be trusted with this movie...
Edit: I do wonder what she qualifies as a vanity project considering Buffy went 7 seasons, Angel went 6, Fox monkied with Firefly and only got 2/3 of a season, and dollhouse went 2 (which dramatically tightened up the pacing when an endpoint was set). Maybe it was the indpendently produced Dr. Horrible? (doubt it). At least we have someone in Hollywood trying to entertain us with something different....I don't call that vanity.
Edit 2: Perhaps for a more accurate depiction of vanity, we should look at a certain player-made comic book that provides a new player introduction to city of heroes, which by the way stars a certain forum poster's avatar. -

DOH -- I guess I really need to finish SSA 1 then.....

One of the virtues of gui customization in another game is how separate bags are all combined together into one using an add-on. It would be nifty if base customization allowed storage racks to be tagged as individual and "groups" so that you could take 5 racks and group them while leaving another 4 to be "individualized" in terms of access rights.
Before someone comes running in with the "standard code rant" post, I'm just saying it would be nice, but I also understand how delicate the entire base system code structure is. -
So, for those doing this (picking up old boxes on the cheap) -- a few things.
Quote:1. Add the original code BEFORE the corresponding collector's edition code (original CoH before COH collector's edition; CoV before CoV collector's edition)
quick box summary:- CoH box -- subtime
- CoV box -- subtime
- CoH collector's edition -- subtime; cape of the 4 winds, prestige power slide, and badge....
- CoV collector's edition -- subtime; arachnos cape and symbol....
- Architect edition -- subtime; access to the free booster pack (cyborg or magic [I generally recommend magic]).
- Mac edition -- subtime; mission transporter power and valkyrie set.
- Good versus Evil edition -- subtime; justice and sinister costume sets, jump pack power, and mission transporter power.
2. Make sure you are buying a new/sealed box, because some people will try to sell a box with a used code
3. For people selling these over ebay, a cash payment through paypal is now put in escrow for a certain duration before you can collect it....because of #2.
