Official WD City of Heroes Thread

ILTU's post gave me an idea about the location of those pics I took.

So for the unbelievers, I give you:


The City of Heroes Test Server Dance Party

"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."

"Hum. Yeah. I'll have whatever she's having."

"Just wait until I show them all my funky disco moves."

"I'm not sure if this qualifies as art for anyone but a DEV blaster, but it does create a certain... mood."

Can you make money doing that? :confused:

"Bite the pillow Clockwork King, I'm going in dry!"

I stole that from a guy on my other SG though. :(

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. :)

I'm on tonight.

Got on the test server and got into the dance club.

Capes = cool
Auras = not so cool

Money? Suuuuuure.

Stealing other people's bits is how all the popular comedians made it big, so you're A-OK. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif



My wife will be on this evening, with me spectating and trying not to give out too much advice/crap while she plays. :p

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.

Cool...

Introducing: The Ultimate Unearthly Raining Blood
http://www.clixstar.net/coh/newblood.jpg

Inept and I were talking CoH over a meal yesterday, and we had an idea we wanted to share with WinDrivers in case anyone here was interested.




On another server (not Protector) we wanted to launch a character each based on a "dress suit" concept. The eventual supergroup would be comprised of characters which correspond to the following criteria:

• Costume must be a suit, preferably coloured in earth tones, ideally black. Think "Hitman" and you've got a pretty good idea what the look should be. Faces should be relatively natural.
• Character must be between 7 and 8 feet tall.
• Archetypes are left to the player's imagination, although the theme would be better suited for natural, science and tech. Blaster would be advised to take Devices as a secondary power set.

That's pretty much it, really. :p



I know inept was considering an Assault Rifle/Devices toon, while I was thinking Energy/Dev blaster, maybe a controller, or perhaps even an AR/Dev also.

Anyone interested and/or have a server recommendation?


BTW, I tried my wifes character on the Test Server and some guy gave me 50,000 influence just for being at the dance party. Said he had over a million influence. Very useful on a TEST server. :rolleyes:

That test server is pretty cool, but mighty buggy still. I would only go to test server to hang out and chat probably. I just feel like I wouldn't want to hassle with defeating villains there because it would be a waste of energy (unless I could copy all the xp I earn back over to protector).

Also,.. I spent about an hour running through the cape quest with Raining Blood. What a waste of time that was. The cape is cool,.. but it's nowhere near worth the amount of drama I had to go through in order to get it. I don't see why capes aren't just part of the costume at the beginning of the game.

As far as the hitman idea goes,.. that sounds cool. I actually already have a char like that on protector. His name is "Freddy Freezer". He is an Ice blaster. Perhaps I could recreate him if you guys want to go on another server. Also,.. this might not be an original idea as yesterday I saw a group of thugs dressed exactly as you described. I felt like maybe they saw my Freddy Freezer character and ripped me off. Well,.. it's not like my gangster idea was so original anyway. :p

I actually had an idea that popped in my head the other day. I was thinking it might be cool to create a "Charlies Angels" SG. 3 of us could be the angels and the other could be Bosley and maybe even a fifth could be Charlie. It would be a cheesy fun SG type thing to do. Even if just for a few hours.

I also have another char I created this weekend called "Killer Bride". Got her up to lvl 9 already. She is a carbon copy of Uma Thurman in the Kill Bill movies. Complete with Kitana sword. Been getting lots of compliments from people on her.

Tips I learned over the weekend regarding malicious users:
There seems to be a new trend of malicious activity happening at CoH so you have to kinda watch ur back now and be careful. Here's what I've learned...

- I started Killer Bride toon. I'm in Outbreak trying to defeat 4 thugs so I can advance a little further. This blaster named Crazy Blasts must've had me targeted because every time I hit a villain, his blast would kill them before I got any credit for it. I asked him to stop, cursed him out, reported him,.. but nothing helped. The only reason I was able to advance is because I went afk for awhile and I guess he gave up.

- There are malicious users who will rez you, then teleport you to a place that you can't get out of.

- There are malicious users who will form a team with you, get you out to the battle,.. then leave right in the middle of a battle by TPing away and then quitting team. This way you're almost sure to get killed.

That's what I use the BROADCAST channel for - letting everyone know the name of the character who's behaviour warrants it. :mad:

Does reporting actually work?

too bad you can't kick their asses tho...what kind of fun is that anyways?

I'm sticking with my high level guys for now, no more newbies. I'm sick og the lower levels and want to see what other adventures are to be had there. So, I'm a no on the suit guys... Sorry. :sad:


BTW - I'm on late tonight night then again on Thursday night all night. Friday is a maybe.
