  1. Opinion: Some of the game is being played by frankly faster games' methods. This game wasn't that exactly, except in bursts. Hami Raids weren't an every hour thing. Ship Raids were kind of hard to get people up to once in awhile. Certainly not by the thousands a day. There is a lot more, more than accolades, merits getting every badge in the first week, achieve, achieve, achieve. It's so frantic. The game is easy to run in Ultra. I'm not going to keep doing the things that test my circuits, for one. It was trying something of its own in its own time in what, 2012? The Venn Diagram can overlap, our new ideas and its old ones (or maybe bring back something) but some of this has to just be special for at first right now, and then less...frantically pushing forward in clumps. Incarnate powers were special because until them, capped at 50, we STILL had more to do than any of us could ever do enough. Incarnate came along when we needed something new and more. You dig? Like, it's all so awesome. I have nothing I want to take away from that. I'm broadly aware of my flaws and being part of the problem. It takes that to start to try to help instead. You have to be a villain before you can become a hero.

  2. People knew me as Infinitum of the Paragon Defense Force.

     

    Suddenly one day we faded away, then like it was yesterday but 7 years later we appeared back.

     

    Who the heck is this Thanos guy and why was he snapping his fingers at us?

     

    Infinitum and Aleriana (my wife) and our 2 sons now are all back.

     

    Would love to team back up with the old veterans that ran with us.

     

    I can tell you who Thanos is. He won the infinity war with his magically snappy metal glove (try it). Also, what's with a literal snap? It operates on willpower. Anyway, the sequel? I don't know. Did they win? CoX is back. Game of Thrones? Season 8 has been amazing. I love that it's wrapping up. Last week's episode? I don't know. CoX is back. Pop culture? CoX. My life? My life trumps my entertainment. My entertainment, however, is pretty sharply focused over the last month. April 13, 2019 is the resurrection day. I was here by sheer luck (more like a series of synchronistic events - I definitely had not been following this subject. It was only a memory; a memory that prompted me to look in on Paragon's ghost on the very day it was released back to us by Score, which was then deleted. And now, the shards are growing and growing more stable by the minute. The volunteers in this labo(u)r of love have my gratitude, although the only thing my heart cares about is that I got to enjoy it even for a day. Catharsis.

     

    I was and am Bluejay, though my global is @Sleepy Alligator, a persona now vastly inferior to the fierce birdy. <3

  3. Nobody's a dev here. The server operators are just players with the means to run a server now that it's been leaked. Some players have always been hostile to AE. Some have always been autocratic about how others play the game or being able to get more than some arbitrarily determined fair share of loot. This could become a political issue dividing different servers in time... if there even are public servers for much longer.

     

    It seems like the autocratic ones are now in the majority and it will be their wills done.

  4. With /loc, I can tell you my exact coordinates on the digital map, yes. But I do not seem to understand how to use coordinates for navigation. I never have. I'm wondering what to do with known coordinates, so far as they help me find in this case sweet shiny badges.

  5. So Today I witnessed a character that had through the 24 month Veteran Badges, he wasn't sure on how he got them he suspected something to do with the P2W vender.

     

    Has anyone any information on how he got them?

     

    There is no way to accidentally get them.

  6. I think it'd be best for everyone if we all started to use Paragon Wiki for this kind of thing. That way, it's not reliant on just one server.

     

    Also, there are badges in a few echoes that are not marked on either paragonwiki or vidiot maps, and I believe the list for new badges in i25 was extensive.

  7. Why does how one person play bother or concern anyone else?  I do not tell you what missions you have to run.  I prefer to farm because it is my style.  I have been through the missions back in the day and l love looking at the ability to buy recipes with tickets or have influence to build up and share because of the AE farming.  The same people complaining about AE farms do not complain about taking influence earned from same farms through costume contests or other things.  Let it be.

     

    This. This is my entire point! CoX is meant to be played HOWEVER each plays it. It's not a competition with one another.

  8. I am sorry this is such a basic problem. It's this kind of thing that aggravates my anxiety and I start feeling hopeless:

     

    I don't know the "right" place to save anything. I don't know where anything has saved, nor where to keep saving anything. Near as I can tell, it's all saved on desktop. I don't think that can be right, but searches don't show me anything saying City of Heroes, COH, COV, anything. I really need to neaten this up now before the knot gets tied too tight. Just a little computer know-how, s'il vous plait.

  9. I'm finding mental and inner catharsis through this, bringing me back to a more healthy and whole stage in life, bringing me out of all funks since the game here was brutally stabbed to death. Gone is so much outside of the growing and learning I had going for me, meaning the sense of learning all the while through this game, however good you get. Gone is being only slightly encouraged to interact with other gamers. This game has it all, and that's unfortunate and fortunate both. Gone are the toxic communities. Gone are the microtransactions. Gone are being told how you will approach this game. Gone, for me, of most other forms of pop culture for me. It doesn't take up time in my life, but it does take up my concerns with phiction and phun-nuggets. That is all.

     

    What about you? Where were you then, generally, and where are you now?

  10. Character: Bluejay

     

    Account: @Sleepy Alligator [My account name is different than my global, yes?]

     

    Battle Cry: Bluejays are fierce!!!

    On this one, the OG, you can see monstrous legs allowed the "blend" scheme on the outer thighs, and worked quite a bit better, imho

  11. I enjoyed PVP a little, enough for farming the badges and that's it, back in our first light of day. Since this game perished, and before it rose on the third day, I have fell in love with PVP in other games. Now that we're back, babies, I need advice is good builds to get started, s'il vous plaît.
