All I wanna know is what website I can go to buy my 18 more months so I can get these pets now!

18 months to go... No offense, but I kinda hope this is the last of the vet rewards. I'll never catch up at this rate.

/huzzah to those who have endured!

Oh yeah. My bad, I forgot. Still, the idea here is important to note... but I bet it'd be hard to do...

I had a little session with my 4.98 year old nephew. He had a lot of funn bashin' Contaminated with Flyingman, the white haired, purple costumed and winged hero of archery and ice blastingness.

(mash, mash, mash on the 1 key)

"No, E, you gotta pick another one after you do that one.

(mash mash mash on the 2 key)

sigh.

"3"

(mashing 3)

"1"

(mashing 1)

"ooh, he's dead now, right?"

"No, E, he's defeated. Not dead. Go get another one."

"Ok!"

(hunt for 'w', then mash it to the next guy, 'tab'...)

"I'm gonna jump on him"

(Stops... hunts for the 'w' again, and then the spacebar...)

*Flyingman is bunched and hit with a rock by now*

(Mashes 'w' and spacebar, and swoopes in on the other guy.)

(Mashing 1)

"2"

repeat. Fun. His dad's gonna love me.

"Hey E, tell your dad 'City of Heroes' over and over when you get home, k?"

"Ciddyo Hewoes!!!"

/can't wait.

That's great. Poor you, though, having to buy four new accounts and stuff.

*THIS* is the reason for account to account transfers of characters, by the way.

Or, let's say this... how about multiple log ins? Like AOL was (is?) with a master, and several subs.

Devs, are you reading this? This is important. Sister, Princess and their dad need to be on at the same time!

BABble?

This was totally sweet. Lots of in the know gags. Really fun to read, great job!

(Especially liked the Ex cameo. PvP indeed. )

I'm just jazzed that NCNC is going to keep on going with Co*. I24 3 years down the road sounds lovely to me.

Just so everyone knows... Yes, indeed, I did purchase the silly new Pack. Because I have to have it. So there.

Cerise is gettin' a new pair of shoes... and some hose, looks like. That's hawt.

I also think an actual tux jacket on Pyrotank might look good on him... dunno how I'm gonna incorporate that with his metalized suite... but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Endolith might look funny with a tux, being... well... a being of rock...

I'm sure I'll find new ways to use the costumes. The emotes... eh. Whatevers.

Baa, but in a good way. I support me some Co*!

;dance5

This sounds quite interesting. Can't wait to see what it's about... then probably not worry about it too much afterwards as I generally get it good enough with RL experiences. Heh. This piqued my interest though:

However, the nice thing is that this bottleneck really only comes up during Double XP weekends. The other 359 days out of the year, it's smooth sailing!

[/ QUOTE ]

That confused me... until I figured it out. You see, 2008 is a leap year. 366 days.

366 - 359 = 7 days of DXP.
7 - 3 = 4 days left to go! w00t 4 day DXP Weekend!!! I called it!

...the best damn server of them all, Pinnacle.

[/ QUOTE ]

Werd.

My testing is complete. Took until 7P my time to see it. Virtue was green until then

Unless you bounce about in and out of the server selection window, the server load indicators DO NOT change dynamically. They will stay at whatever their last known state was.

Simply picking any green server, then going back to the server list, will update them.

I figured this was important to note for the Virtuosos and Freedomites that might be wondering when they could see if they could get in. You can't unless you bounce between screens. Hope that saves a little bit of frustration for some!

/bounce with me, bounce with me...

I still wonder about the indicators on login... so I'm currently testing that. When I logged in about 4 minutes ago, Virtue was green, Freedom was yellow... Let's see where it is now... still the same.

I will leave it like this until 6, then check back and report.

Very interesting. Numbers wise, 140,000 / 10000 = 14 servers required for us all, evenly distributed, if we were to all want on. Not including teh Devs, who are above us all. So 15 servers, just to be safe.

But we have 11. Sounds to me like some new servers are in order. I propose the following:

Anarchy
Despair
Malaise
Destructor
Pain

I threw in a 16th for expansion. And of course, these additions are CoV instead of the do-gooder CoH names of the current 11 servers. Although, technically, Pinnacle, Victory, Triumph and Infinity are perfectly usable in CoV, I suppose, being not 'virtuous' by default.

I freely release myself from any rights to these proposed server names. They'd be boss to see, though. Oh, and I propose also a free set (yes *set*. as in, oh, 4.) of character transfers from any current server to any of the 5 new ones. ONLY to the new ones, and ONLY from the current ones. You get 1 free extra for moving one character from either Virtue or Freedom, but that'd a one shot deal, for a total of 5 freebies. For 2 months after the new servers are up, then you're done, they expire. Use them or lose them. That way, tis totally up to you. Thoughts?

----

I do have a good question, methinks... Do the server load indicators, which range from green to yellow to red to grey, change dynamically on the login screen? In other words, could I sit there and wait for it to go from grey to red, then get in? Or is it updated as you display the screen, and then it has to be bounced in and out to update it?

Thanks!

plan A: Cerise to 50. Villainside Pinnacle, that might be... interesting.

However..

plan B: Play with VG mates as we level up our stuff, w00t. Val is lookin' to be a pretty good MM I think.

So here's plan C, the combo:

Plan B until in range of Cerise, then Plan A as far as I can. I hope.

I'm sure something will come up to ruin my plans... that's why they're called 'plans' after all...

//Oh, and I at first thought "JCPennys" for some reason... I'm glad I can still use mine.

While I am admittedly hesitant about the idea of a PS3 port of Co*... it may be a good idea to incorporate a stable platform for gaming and a mass of people that haven't played it yet, infusing the game with more people (and maybe new servers? One could hope) and more money to give everyone even more awesomeness... Like perhaps grappling/wire/web/etc-you-get-the-idea slinging power set...

please note the "may" portion of this post, of course.

The forums are undergoing... surgery tomorrow... (1-16-08) as such, this is an official chainsaw prevention posting from houtex. Just in case. Move along, nothing to see here.

I know this is in the Guides section... but I'm still paranoid about it.

It was 4 days ago... and at night (9:21p) so... yeah, that's not it. It's right, but not.
