He's still lvl 11. I did start up a blaster who is lvl 8 now. Freddy Freezer. He's pretty cool. I haven't play CoH much this week though. Been working my *** off and then coming home to be entertained by the comedy of the republican national convention. Also hacked away at Doom 3 here and there this week. Then we got the long weekend of which so far I do have some stuff planned, and then there's the non-smoking thing. So a lot going on lately. I figure I should be back playing normally by late Monday,.. if not Tuesday evening. I tell ya,.. there's just not enough hours in the day. This whole work thing is really getting in my way of having fun and stuff.Quote:

I'm trying to work out some details about my CoH time this weekend.
So far, Friday evening, Sunday evening, maybe Saturday and/or Monday morning look open.
Anyone else want to log a few hours in this long weekend?
Hey ppl, long time no see.
I have 2 toons on Virtue, does anyone play on that server? A 20 blaster and a 10 healer.
If not, what server is everyone on? Sorry i dont have time to read all 40 pgs of this thread to answer my own question...
Love yas,
Stan
The first post of this thread will confirm that all the cool kids are on Protector. Commander Klarg is active on Virtue also. :D
Most have characters ranging from level 5 to 25 on Protector, so you're bound to find someone to team with.
Any chance you can bring up a character to level 17-20 for a Task Force this weekend? :p
Just a side note: I have officially given up on keeping the first post up to date with all the characters that have been developed. In addition,.. I'm just not going to have the time or motivation with everything else going on in my life right now to work on a webpage the GoW SG. All I can do at this point is play and hope to see you guys online when I do play.
Other than that,... WB Stan,.. hope to see ya on CoH sometime. :)
You'd think that with all this extra free time spent not smoking... :p
We could still post in here for more "official" game dates, for TFs, pick up games, etc - like we do now.
I might take up the mantle for the website... let me think about it a bit. ;)
Could you still provide the web space?
Does anyone else want to contribute?
Yeah,.. I could provide the webspace. Honestly though,.. I thought I would have more time too (5 minutes ea. x 20 cigs a day), but I have been soooo overworked lately that I am just wiped out when I get home and just want to veg out and do stuff that requires zero thinking once I get home. Basically the walls at work are finally crumbling down and I'm trying my best to hold them up and at the same time installing new steel beams (metaphor of course). It's crazy. The mistakes of the last several years from former IT people, plus old equipment is all coming to a head. Combine that with ultra-frugal owners in a micro-management friendly environment and you end up with a pile of broken down Wrbby. On top of that I am quitting smoking and trying to improve my health habits AND trying to keep some kind of a social life all at the same time. It's pure madness.
But yeah,.. things should smooth out soon I anticipate,.. just at this exact moment in time it's just hectic right now. :D

Have you guys been on the Test server yet? OMG Issue #2 is gonna rock!
I think I'm going to do that tonight.Quote:

Notes of interest to tankers, IMO (bold applies to my INV/EM tanker):Quote:

- Slightly increased the chance and duration of stun for Power Punch/Barrage and Super Strength/Jab.
- Fixed a bug that was preventing some powers (powers that Resist Damage) from getting their Recharge and Endurance Buffed/Debuffed (for example, Hasten will now reduce (improve) the recharge time of Unstoppable).
- Fixed Moment of Glory and Unstoppable so they properly modified your HPs (sometimes, these powers would incorrectly heal you to full).
- Increased Damage and Knockback of Tanker/Fiery Aura/Rise of the Phoenix. Also, Rise of the Phoenix will now revive you with 50% END and you will be able to Recover Endurance Normally.
- Fixed Stone Armor/Granite Armor. It was only giving a 15% damage resistance. It now grants a 50% damage resistance and adds Defense. It now also accepts Defense Enhancements. Other attributes of the power remain unchanged.
- Fixed Ice Armor/Hoarfrost, Invulnerability/Dull Pain (Tanker and Scrapper), Stone Armor/Earth's Embrace, and Regeneration/Dull Pain. They were not increasing the Max HP as much as they should at higher levels.
- Stone Armor/Granite Armor no longer debuffs your Accuracy. Instead it debuffs your damage output (to equate to about the same Damage per second as the ACC debuff). This way you can still hold agro as a Tanker (your hits and Taunts will now hit, while still reducing your oveall DpS).
Glad to see they didn't completely ruin the Smoke Grenade though. :D
Sunuva!! :eek2:
Wow,.. once this comes out, I think I will have a renewed, greater interest in this game. Good, they needed to do this. I still love playing,.. but the game really was in need of a facelift. This oughtta do.
Did you check out the entire list, Wrrby?
Some good stuff in there.
Did a quickie this morning and got Stalemate onto the test server.
Took on about 8 trolls (level 12, 2 lieutenants) in Skyway and noticed that my endurance was not going down as quickly, but I'm unsure about the overall damage output. Where it usually took 2/3 of my end to dispatch 4-5 foes, I know found myself with over half my end left with 7 foes taken care of (1 ran away).
I'll have to test it against same level mobs to be sure, but it does look like there is noticeably less drain.
Oh yeah, the capes - although I find little interest in getting one for a tech based AT - can be obtained by doing a "visiting" task given out at the Freedom Plaza office, or so someone was broadcasting this moring.
I'm growing weary of lower levels haveing been in them forever now. I'm sticking with playing Dynamo and Aumakua from now on in order to get them higher level. I'm eager to see some of the stuff beyond steel canyon so I'll be in Talos and Independance Port from now on after this weekend I guess.
I'm doing the Synapse TF tonight and prolly tomorrow to get to a higher level.

I will try and make it for TF. I'll have to take it minute by minute at this point.
Would be great if you could make it. ;)Quote:

- o Capes: Starting at level 20, characters can earn the right to wear a cape. Visit the City Representative in City Hall once you get to level 20 to start your quest.
They look good. Getting one for Aumakua's one costume (if it works like that) but not for Dynamo.
- o Effects: Starting at level 30, characters can earn the right to add constant
special effects to their character’s costumes.
This is gonna be so cool (I hope).
- · Power Re-specification:
o The Terra Volta reactor has been running beyond full capacity for quite some
time. Heroes who venture within it may experience untold side-effects.
Woot.
The "In Game" experience is also up for improvements:
- Exemplar/Aspirants: Higher level characters can now help out their lower-level friends easier than ever with this "reverse Sidekicking" feature. Exemplars artificially lower their level to that of the Aspirant. Exemplars will lose access to powers gained after the level they have been lowered to, and their Enhancements will have an appropriate reduction in effectiveness as well. Exemplars do not receive Influence, but 100% of XP received while acting as an Exemplar will go towards debt reduction. If there is no more debt to get rid of then XP will be earned as Influence instead.
- Teleportation Confirmation. You can optionally set up a prompt to appear when someone wants to teleport you.
- Resurrection Confirmation. Whenever you are rezzed you will be prompted to accept or decline the Resurrection.
- Sidekicking is no longer persistent (ends when one player logs off).
- Enhancements have a new window where they can be easily traded or deleted.
- Using the "Search" feature, you can now look for prospective team members across zones, sorted by Archetypes and Levels.
- Quick Trade. You can now quickly give an Inspiration or Enhancement to a team-mate or other player. Right click on the item you wish to trade and select Give.
- Many continuing sound effects now fade. (bubbles will no longer be loud? :p)
I like those two. :thumbs:Quote:

Thought you might. :DQuote:

Man, did you guys miss out on a cool party!
Here are some pics:
...
:confused:
WHAT THE HELL?!? :mad:
Ok, I guess screen captures are not allowed on the test server...
It was pretty cool though.
Music (web stream was available too), dancing, special effects on 30+ toons and capes all around, pool tables, a bar, trip mine artwork... they even carded you at the entrance: you needed to display a badge to get in. :p
Bouncers and staff members took care of the guest list and ambiance.
It was cool. :cool:
This is the kind of party where you go to Steel Canyon to get in, and wind up in Talos Island when you leave. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
Bummer about the pics though... even saw my first Rikti in Independance Port but I can't prove any of it. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
Since I was too late for the TF you guys made,.. I just found a different one. Now I'm The Ultimate Unearthly Raining Blood. w00t! :D
Best TF Ever...
Only took 3 hours, few of us leveled but I got 2 SO's. :devil:
Also, how does one get to the test server?
EDIT: Ok, found it. Copy your character on line via their web page. Then, create a shortcut to the cohupdater.exe and add a -test in the target field under properties. Then run it and start a 829mb download. I'll be on sometime tonight after we go see a movie or 2 I guess. I miss my 3mb cable connection now...
I think Infinite Moon like me. :devil:
Too bad she was only online.
And 500 miles away.
And married.
And probably a guy.
Man, you really should consider a career in humour - at least part time. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gifQuote:

"Badge please."
"Badges?!, We don't need no stinkin' badges!"

"Sorry kid - no badge, no entry."
"No, a note from your mommy will not do."

Ha! Cool,.. you guys think you had the best TF? You should've been on the one I did. HOLY CRAPOLA!! That was freaking insane! We had 8 people,.. one eventually dropped out. No biggie. Battled the Freakshows lvl 24-26. Mostly lvl 26 bosses to fight. 2 blasters, 2 tankers, controller, defender, scrapper. Essentially, we went through mob after mob after mob and destroyed everything in sight. No chat at all except once in awhile "brb". I was pretty much just kickin back in this chair and firing blasts over and over and over again. It was great!! The tanker must've had some really cool power for aggro or something because none of us ever had any villains coming at us. They all went to him. And he took the punishment without a scratch. The rest of us just piled on the damage. All in all not too many deaths overall either. Then at the end we battled an Arch Villain "Castor" (or something like that). That was just too fun. My first completed TF. I will definitely have to do that again! :)
Sorry about that. I'm retarded. I would like to get in on the next action though. I'll be out most of today, and tomorrow I'll be at the KoRn/Linkin Park concert all day,... but probably on Monday would be good for me. Well,.. we'll figure it out. :)Quote:

The Major will be there, with his ever so wonderful aura/presence. BE THERE, OR BE DEAD. AND IF UR DEAD, UR SPIRIT BETTER HAUNT THE PLACE!!
Buzz is on the test server.
Wrbby is just now starting to download it finally. 961M and it says around 2hrs to download. Sheesh.
