See, I've always run through the Praetorian tute because there's a badge there (Avid Reader) that you cannot get any other way. Requires Read all of Rothstein's dialogue in the Praetorian tutorial. At least until you can get your Praetorian ex-pat to Ouro during Incarnate trials. Granted, going through the tute was also the only way you could get the special Enhancements. Now you just buy them from P2W contact. I've only done one character so far in Praetoria and she's only just left Nova so, haven't gotten any undercover missions yet.

Many thanks to those responsible for re-opening the portals to the world of Paragon! Prior to playing CoH I played EQ with friends, it held my attention for all of 3 months, I started playing CoH in 2007 and continued until the day it closed down. Resurrecting some old characters and creating new ones, it's been a blast running around city streets and alleys from Atlas Park to Mercy and beyond to Nova Praetoria. Thank you!

Atomic French Fry - Rad/Fire Blaster I find this preferable over Frost or Thunderbird, never mind a thousand of them.

As Jim Butcher did, you will likely have to live with the same issues should anyone recognize your character and report them.

I had never noticed that before. That's pretty lame.

You will need to go to the archived version of the old CoH forums. I've linked to Impkin's guide on modifying your sound files, the particular one may be listed in the thread somewhere. How to Silence Specific Game sounds by Impkin (or change them to something more pleasant)

Yeah, those would be the same that would PM on my Emp troller, to which my response was always "Sorry, not a healer."

I have to agree with both of these statements. I too prefer the unique naming system, since it would prevent 14,000,605 Doctor Strange's from running around. The "all the good names are taken" argument was used in the original forums as well, which was reputed by many players that continued to come up with good names.

The reason Marvel did not win is because CoH's lawyer proved that they players that had created Marvel IP and play in game were Marvel employees. CoH had a reporting process in place and players were very proactive in self-policing because they did not want to see a repeat. The lawyer, by the way got a standing ovation at HeroCon. As for the current Overlords, I don't think they've said anything, but just because this is not an authorized server doesn't mean Marvel/DC/etc won't swing a hammer. Personally, I think it best to err on the side of caution and avoid characters that outright copy someone's IP.

No, I believe you can place any/all of the beacons now too.

Zombie Man posted a link to the old forums down in guides. I think he included a few tips regarding getting to posts with links not working. https://score.savecoh.com/index.php/topic,1706.0.html

I can't believe it took this far in the thread for those to be posted! Always my favourite... ...right after the Kronos Titan vs Exploding Steel Canyon building (which I have been unable to locate so far.)

Where is he, please? Look in the same sunken plaza as the trainer, you'll pass between them on the way to Praetor White.

I recall after making my very first hero and dropping into Atlas Park, someone gifted me 200k inf. I felt rich. :D

Samuraiko and her demo-record awesome videos.

Nah, it's the horse that's dead, they just keep beating on the poor creature.

Well, if he sang, I'd say he sounds like the monster from 'A Monster in Paris'. :)

What are the powersets? Just based on the costume, I'd say something like "Techno Mosquito" ?

I decided to put the avatar reqs into my sig... <.<

You can record yourself screaming into a mic "OVER HERE" and make that the new glowie sound! Or you can creep yourself out and use the "over here" from Predator with the volume turned up.

I loved that thread, glad you revived it PK! And welcome back Jock!

I was wondering about this exact post last night, because of Impkin's sound-silencing guide. Zombie Man! So awesome to see you again! So many names I hadn't seen in so long! Found it by the way: Guide to Silence Sounds by Impkin

Regarding duplicating copyrighted characters from movies/comics/etc. Back during in the first era of CoX, players were pretty incredible about self-policing and reporting. No one knows what happens now in the second era of CoX. You may just get grief regarding lack of originality. ;) Edit: Oh, and it's good to see you using the proper term of "newb" since as a new player that is what you are. "noob" on the other hand is considered derogatory and generally refers to someone who thinks they know everything about the game, but really doesn't and will attempt to beat you over the head with their dizzying intellect.
