There will be mobs around of both 5th and Council, going through the motions of fighting until you agro them. They will shoot each other as well as you.
There are also spawn points where you will see literally dozens of 5th/Council blazing away at each other, with heroes wading into their midst. :thumbs:
So anyway, I'm on now. Is anyone else on?
Didn't get a whole lot of time to play with Kymera last night (my scheduled Office install got cancelled - he managed without me), but I hear Cuervo Gold got levelled to 11 and gor drafted into Ghosts of War.
Not bad. ;)
More importantly though, City of Heroes won the Spike TV 2004 Video Game Award for Best Mass Multi-Player Game!
Not bad considering Everquest II and FFXI were also nominated in that category. :cool:
I was disappointed to see that CoH did not get the vote from the players themselves, Burnout 3 taking that category. I could have understood Sims 2 besting CoH, but a racing game where crashing is the objective? :confused:
Hey, Burnout is a very cool game. I didn't watch the show. I heard it was a disaster. I heard that version3 of GTA won GotY. That was a travesty.
I agree Burnout 3 sounds cool (never played it), but to qualify - and then win - the Most Addictive Game category? I dunno.Quote:

But still, CoH got another award. :cool:
I forgot to thank you for helping me out the other night. It was pretty cool. I'd never been to Brickstown before. I got schmoked though, but it was mostly my fault. I was engaged with a runner when my SK buddy moved out of range. I absorbed over 600pts of damage in one hit and as an 11th level controller that equals insta-death.
Yikes. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
So you were playing with inept (Major Blaze) my wife Cassiopea and Problem Child (AKA Great Gazoo in our other supergroup Phantoms of War), right?
I'll bet you were SK'd to Major Blaze... :p
Wait 'til you see Founders' Falls (beautiful) and then the Dark Astoria (spooky) and Crey's Folly (sleep/mez/hold/stun city) trial zones. :pQuote:

I'll be on tonight as Sky Ranger, see you then! :thumbs:
I'm leaving right ... NOW ... for an office party that will end tomorrow at the same time.
Cass might be on this evening.
Office party for me too tonight. Unlikely that I will be on.Quote:

I have Cassiopea on my Friend list (as are the rest of you), so if she's on I'll try to team up. :thumbs:
The joys of being an SK in a strange and powerful land. Insta-death is often on the menu.Quote:

And as for the Spike Game show, what is wrong with the frigging guys running the background tracks lately. The friggin background vocals went to spit last night.
See you tonight.
On the menu tonight we have several foes in SC, PP (in park) and several missions I'm sure.
i'll be bringing out either the healer (zero ground), or the scrapper (Citizen Senior) but only past 8 pm ETQuote:

Looking forward to it. However, I may have to take like a 15 min break in the mish to pick up the wife. However, that is very unlikely. Now finally, I'll be able to change Carb to exactly the way I like right in time for everything to change when issue 3 comes out.Quote:

BTW, I will be playing tonight anyhow. :cool:
Poop, no stale. What you get for playing Fracas and 9 bazillion others. Nyaaaaaa! :devil:
Guess it will just be Aum and me battlin' it out with the forces of evil tonight....Quote:

ILTU can tell you from his perspective, but I thought last night's "split-hunting" in Brickstown was amazing for XP.
Stalemate got 7 bars, levelled to 33, and so did Great Gazoo (34).
BTW, I think he may be interested in doing the respec with you guys.
Mmmm..... it was me that sk you with Pheonix Blue, my blaster lvl 19 :( I write in the team chat that I was going to a badge and tp you for you to get it... but when I arrive at the badge... you die :( I'm sorry... Maybe you never see my message ? This night btw, was not good to my taste... too much people that we dont know that my bro in law invited... was not good xp and no fun... the communication was not good either...Quote:

what happens when the provoke misses one villain? it goes for someone else, so if that person is you then bring him back into the range of the tanker, DO NOT ever run away, he will surely follow, lead him back to where the action is... as a tanker i will NOT go out of the immediate circle of baddies as this will surely put more people at risk than that single foe out there running loose...
but always keep in mind, ur a$$ is ur a$$, its the same for a healer, is it his/her fault if we die? of course not, we should always play with a certain solo mindframe, meaning, if i do the same as when i solo, i will stay alive most of the time. i think most peolpe do their best to play the game, but things don't always go smoothly...
personally, i play my blaster with the idea that i will surely die, period...just 'cause he's a blaster, so when i die, it doesn't bring me down, or i don't wind up playing all stressed in fear of that death, same for my controller also, they're weak, that's all https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/02/1.gif
its good to try different archtypes and experience the gameplay, that way when you team with someone, you are aware of the basics of that AT's build, solves a bunch of problems https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
ne 1 on 2nite? i got an itch that needs to be scratched :)
I ran into a similar situation with Graet Gazoo last night, where we spent some time discussing the Invulnerability powerset (he has it for Problem Child) and tanking in general.
In this case, I hadn't told him what I was doing, what the tactics were - and afterwards when everyone was on teamspeak I forgot to get back to the chat window to inform him properly, but this guy is very much a team player. He fits into our style of play almost perfectly.
We discussed some ideas, tried a few and then settled into a herding pattern where he would bubble up Stalemate (without me even asking once) and then follow up once I had herder 2-3 mobs with his uber powerful holds and pets. He could be as interesting as Aumakua once he gets another level or so. We ... well, OK, "I" mistakenly tanked some 38s when I was still at 32 and it was working well with those tactics. I can see what Cass and Aum were saying about Gazoo. :cool:
Keep an eye out for Cliodna (sp?), one of Aum's acquaintances. I think she's a kinetics defender. I'm getting all sorts of visions of Bomb Jack, Ajani and her megaboosting the team to take on some archvillains...
I'll be on Saturday night.
Have you guys seen them on? I never see them anymore which kinda blows.Quote:

We have to do that again soon so I can get your toons up to a higher level, I'm 36 now. Leveling with Aum is getting insane, he levels so fast.
crap, ive been outleveled again, gonna have to call in sick for a couple more days https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gifQuote:

We now have the added advantage of two blasters with 'uber powers'. Major can nova one herd and I can Thunderous Blast another while he recharges OR we can both go blow up mobs that are SEVERAL levels above us with back to back jacked attacks. :DQuote:
