PVP? Not my thing. I've met cool PVPers and (mainly back on Live) I've met lots of gankers. But you know, if I go badging in a PVP zone and get ganked, that's on me to be fair. What REALLY annoyed me about PVP is the Rogue Isles has TWO amazing zones wasted on PVP. Bloody Bay and Warburg are atmospheric and cool and could be filled with contacts and missions, but no. Redside has ELEVEN zones* (including The Abyss and Monster Island) and loses two of them to a very niche part of the game. Blueside has TWENTY FIVE zones, of which only ONE, Siren's Call, is PVP. Recluse's Victory? Fine with that. Shared future combat. Not to mention the entire Arena system. Or you know what? Have PVE versions of the two zones as well as the PVP versions. If the Echo Versions of zones can exist, and the mini PI that is Monster Island, then that can happen too. And all the above doesn't include the Shadow Shard either. *Villains can access RWZ and DA and IIRC the Echo Zones too, but that still hardly fixes the imbalance.

Hmmm.

Looking forward to playing it

The post is clear.

December bump for a worthy cause! So get donating, good people!

Only player characters are guaranteed to have mediporters. Anyone else may have them. They may not. And even that fact forms part of a story arc.

ROFL! Yep.

It's even trickier than that though 🙂 She's bound to Arachnos, not Recluse.

Saw Nosferatu last year in the cinema for the 100th anniversary. Wonderful on the big screen.

And I was lucky to have met @huang3721! And some other dedicated Goldsiders along the way. Enough to keep a small Gold based SG ticking over, even if it never reaches the numbers of a Red or Blue SG.

I play Goldside all the time! What I wish I was playing was MORE Goldside. I've had to write the continuing Goldside adventures myself in the AE to scratch that itch.

People on here have in the past seen my rants about Praetoria. My personal Head Canon is that ultimately "Who Will Die?" was a Praetorian plot literally intended to take out the one man who could maybe go toe to toe with Tyrant. Recluse's fight against Tyrant is a fake out, so if he'd really tried maybe he'd have a a shot too, we'll never know. However, only Statesman would have tried to do it. It has its issues but it makes more sense to me than "Darrin Wade just happened to have this plan".

If anyone has read the two COH novels, particularly the first one, Statesman is actually a pretty good character. It's a shame that portrayal wasn't ported into the game. (The comics are a mixed bag of "the comic writers weren't given any notes" or "the comic writers didn't care" to "no one sense checked this at all". All of those suppositions may be incorrect, but whatever, the portrayal is erratic and annoying.)

I bemoan the fact that there's no real interaction with Statesman prior to the events in "Who Will Die?" I'd love it if the OG Statesman TF was still possible to do with him standing in IP, and only getting phased out/replaced by Ms Liberty AFTER you've done "Who Will Die?". Of course even if that were possible the LRSF would need to be tweaked as well. Fortunately for us the LRSF DOES exist again via Ouro. And oh yeah, that version can be tough. Hell, even an arc with a flashback scene involving him would help.

That was, look away now @TerroirNoir2,

Thanks for the update, @Zhym!

Yeah, I was really aiming for as near as possible a continuation of the Praetorian storyline from the end of Neutropolis and into First Ward/Night Ward and bringing in elements of the Praetorian War. I really didn't like that the only option was leave. Or at least the only pushed option because you CAN just stay.

I'm just going to bump this because it's frankly worth bumping, even if it IS a thread I started. That's not the point though. Support your local wiki!

And reclaim a slot!

I..think I'm one of the ones who started that, but....I was soon joined by other perpetrators!

It's that time again, fellow CoHers! I appreciate all the work put into the Wiki, and use it regularly and I hope you people do too. Support your local Wiki! Unofficial Homecoming Wiki - A City of Heroes Community Wiki

It's her MO in many ways.

Ok, I "got" the gist of that in the dialog. Well, if someone like yourself who knows what's going on reads it, then you'll see. But there's enough obfuscation to throw smoke too!

NOT going to happen. You know it, I know it, hell most of the AE gang probably know it by now, never mind the people I pester in game and on here.

Right now we're stuck with it. Options are (a) never use that line of dialog; (b) use it when you want the player to "overhear" stuff they probably shouldn't. But mostly (a) for me.
