Guess I never noticed there was the option for an alternate animation for Footstomp, the default one is all I've ever seen. You learn something new everyday.

This is where the "teen" rating kind of limited what could be in the game on Live. Oh course NOW we could have Prostitutes on the street outside the Casino, Buxom Showgirls strutting around half naked...um ...nevermind....I've already seen that a few times. I think actually that Craps would be the easier gambling staple since we already have a lot of the animations created in the "roll dice" emote, would just need the Casino interior with the Craps table and a way to score the game and place bets.

I have never tried to change gender but i have adjusted facial scales and height using the facemaker. Isn't that the most of the difference? hmmm. Guess maybe I assumed too much.

It is available already, I have both in my base, normal costume changes are by " Icon Employee ", for more advanced changes you need " Facemaker. Both NPCs are available in the NPC tab.

Upgrade ability - BizHub ( Copier Scanner Fax ) - while active All Summon Pets are More Powerful, Efficient, and Have a Reduced Endurance cost. ( Also Para-Legals come to believe people want to see Photocopies of their butts ) Habeas Corpus, Para-legals and Bounty Hunter are pet summons. ( 1 Judge, 3 Para-Legals, 1 Bounty Hunter/Supr-Sec/Bailiff ) Jr Partners would be a good addition. ( but they are currently undergoing a Sensitivity Training Course ) Bounty Hunter may be able to become Super Secretary or a Bailiff, ( but Bailiff would need to modeled after Bull Shannon from Night Court, Nice Guy with a Billy club.) The Minions ( Para-Legals ) Cause Paper cuts, Confusion and nearly impossible to remove coffee stains. The Judge files a Subpoena forcing 1 to 3 oponnents to come before him then causes a major Gavel Imprint in the top of opponents heads and is not attackable. The Bounty Hunter/ Bailiff would cause various kinds of Brawling Damage and May cause an Unexpected Counter Suit. Class Action Suit would cause Pennylessness, Paper Cuts and Crushing/Smashing/Lethal Damage over time. This was intended as harmless fun, but it would be funny to see what it looked like.

1) Cease and Desist: File paperwork informing your Opponent he isn't allowed to be Attacking you, under penalty of the Law. 2) Para-Legals: A group of three Para-legals bombard your opponents with Summons, legalese and Starbucks Coffee till they run away. 3) Lawsuit: You sue the pants off your opponents, literally, and now being pantless, they are easy pickings. 4) Restraining Order: You file Paperwork not allowing your opponent within 10 Yards, creating a safe zone from which you and your allies can pick them off. 5) Habeas Corpus: Your opponent is brought before the Judge, who pummels your opponent into submission with his gavel. 6) Bounty Hunter: You send a Bounty Hunter to bring in your opponent, with extreme prejudice, and force, for a small fee. 7) Class Action Suit: You file hundreds of suits, on behalf of others, till your opponent is destitute and buried under a mound of paperwork.

It seems that a lot of the current projects are limping along as well. As much as these forums have proven, there are many different opinions of what makes CoH good, and what we would change given the opportunity, I believe it to be nearly impossible to create a spiritual successor that the majority will be happy with. We have endless arguments just about how the team dynamic should function, Imagine trying to create a game from scratch. I hated the open instance format in Champions, and the lack of Structure to the power selection, and that almost everything good was behind a paywall. I applaud their tenacity, but will be surprised if any of them get to completion.

I honestly think that if you haven't logged in for 6 months anything below level 10 should be fair game, and I mean that the entire global account has been inactive that long. There was a population peak in about May/June of people that, for the most, have moved on to the next shiny. Well it's been about 6 months now and a lot of accounts are not being accessed or the population would be higher. As far as someone who is on MORE, being able to TAKE a name away from a less active player, that smacks a bit of Elitism, and has no place here. We all have our real life schedule and limitations, or lack thereof, and should not be penalized or rewarded based on our personal situation. This kind of thing is what ignited the backlash against SCoRE after the existence of the private server was posted, and is one of the darkest times in COH Community history and should never, ever be allowed to happen again.

oR i mAy bE LoOsiNg mY MinD, hEH HEh,

Guess I'll have to go see if I can find it. Remember it mostly because being 40 when i started playing in 2004 and have never played WoW, ( WoW came out just before the Hollows was added ), I saw the Billboard and didn't get it. It said some thing like " Leeroy Jenkins Sez.... " then a chicken reference. So I asked over broadcast who is "Leeroy Jenkins" and got the whole story.

No, I swear there was a Billboard referencing Leeroy Jenkins, the guy who missed the Raid Plan Meeting getting Fried Chicken in WoW, came back from AFK and charged into the Dungeon getting everyone killed. I think it was for a Fried Chicken place and was in the Hollows,

Helencarnate, Appreciate the Help on Everlasting on Saturday, Bubba Burns has been Respeced, made it to 50, and now has his Alpha unlocked, and the next 2 Incarnate slots in process. I followed your guide as far as Power selection for the most part, except took Pyre Mastery for my Epic, and then slotted him up. Got some decent Enhancement set bonuses without having to sell the farm and am now Soloing the Maria Jenkins Arc @ +1 with the only tough one so far being Nightstar. I'll crank up the difficulty once I get the rest of my sets bought and loaded. Thanks for sending me the link for your Brute Build thread.

Speaking of Memes, is the Leroy Jenkins billboard still up in the Hollows? Don't recall seeing it since we've been back.

Also the coordinate System gives you a North/South, an East/West and an Altitude, extremely helpful in determining that say, the badge isn't on top of the hill but in a Cave beneath it, which is not something you get from Vidiotmaps. Takes some practice to get used to it, but very precise.

Absolutely, you just need to create a Titan Network account, Then locate the Help tab and this contains editing guidelines. Keep in mind that Paragon Wiki only accepts info that was accurate at the time the game shut down. To my knowledge there have been no story arcs added until the recent New Missions, so the ones you found should be included in the Wiki.

As a fellow Old Man.... I can appreciate the struggles with the changes, I started Playing Shortly after Launch & had to get this new fangled thing BROADBAND if I wanted to play. I was a subscriber till they told us in August 2012 that they were shutting it down. I was 40 years old when the game started, 48 when it went away. I am 55 now. I was so glad to just have the game back that a lot of the changes slipped my mind. I totally forgot about Incarnate Abilities, some of the proliferation, and how Tanks were sort of considered by many to be irrelevant. Team Tanks were what I did, almost exclusively. The pace of the game now is partly a product of Brutes trying to keep Fury pegged, a fascination with who can do it faster and a generally less Comic Hero Population. Anymore getting to the next crowd first and laying down your thing is way more Important than holding Aggro away from support players, who end up dying repeatedly when left to deal with more than they can handle. It's just the new normal, not better, not worse, just different. I solo a LOT. Like all the Dark Astoria Content. Once in a while I find a team of like minded people and usually end up with a new Global Friend or 2. I'm still having fun. I just rolled a Bio-Armor / Savage Melee Tank, he just finished the Hollows and is 14, and I like, a lot.

I came here the same route as Abraxus, so it actually surprises me we have never ran into each other, or have we? Played on Live from end of May 2004 till Sunset ( Subscriber ), then Titan Icon which was cool but a bit sad and empty, and finally Paragon Chat. Codewalker just kept little updates coming that kept me coming back. The best of course was badge hunting. Much like on Homecoming, a lot of people are of the mind that faster is better. But when Everyone ran out and loaded Vidiots Maps and had all the badges in a week or so, I was doing it using only Map Coordinates or Paragon Wiki Descriptions. It gave me three and a half months of nice mellow entertainment. I even found my way to the secret torture room Redside. I guess I just am not someone who needs a lot to keep myself happy. I appreciate anything I get and that includes having The City back much as it was. I will probably download and archive the server files so if something happens I have options. Could I play as the only, or as one of a handful of heroes in the city?, sure, would it be as much fun, probably not, but I'd just have to make it work. Titan Icon, Monster Hero Mash-up I created in Atlas Plaza.

D!

Vidiots maps shows him in Dark Astoria just south of the Reconnaissance Officer, but for the life of me I can't find him. Was he abducted by Rikti? Was he munched by Mott? Is he off on a Spiritual Retreat? Vegas? Holding a Tupperware Party? Driving Route 66 in a Pink Cadillac? Partying Down in the Tiki Lounge in Pocket D? Filling in for a friend as Door Greeter at Walmart? Off to get a thorough Manscaping? What?

Guess I just assumed everyone has dabbled in the New Base Options, but it doesn't seem so. If I posted this in the Base Building section everyone probably knows more than me. Just thought I would list off some of the Highlights. 1) Icon Employee/Face Maker NPCs are available for Placement in your Base. No need to go to a Trainer or Icon for those Minor or Major Costume/Character Overhauls. 2) Auto-Doc may only Dispense Level 1 Inspirations, but it buys salvage and some lower tier recipes at about 3 to 4 times what you can get for them from the Auction House/Black Mkt. 3) Pillar of Ice and Flame is available as a base Appliance and allows Flashback Content. Easier in base where you have a complete TP Bay than Ouroboros where travel is limited. 4) Vanguard NPCs are functional when placed in Base. To trade in Vanguard Merits etc. 5) Crafting Tables in the base are still available, although access to the /AH menu is not. 6) Multi-Level Base building allows for new outdoor base areas and for an amazing amount of options, 7) Each Zone Teleport Pad can now have up to 10 Zone Teleport Beacons each, including all Hero, Villian, Praetorian, Echo Zones and Pocket D, allowing for more Compact TP Rooms. 8)Control and Power are only required for a handful of items such as TP and Autodoc. But there is virtually no limit on Decorative and Background items. 9) Internal Base Teleportation allows you to place a destination Marker where you want to go, then attach a matching Beacon to a Wormhole at your Departure Point, handy for Multi level bases with outdoor or underground areas. If I missed something feel free to add it to post.

Shield Charge from the Tanker Primary has a very TPish animation and may fit as a mid tier assault as well. The only problem I foresee is that it would almost have to be a Tanker/Brute/Scrapper set, if you Aggro but don't defeat that many targets, you are going to need some thick skin to survive the aftermath. You could almost build this set yourself, to get a Nightcrawler like set by taking a Tank with Shield Defense, a sword assault secondary, maybe Katana, go heavy into the TP Set and Heavy into Stealth. At 50, get your Incarnate slots open and take Vorpal for Judgement. ScrapperEpic Pool Dark Mastery also has a few powers that would give the Appearance if not actual use of TP. Power Level Effect Torrent 35 Ranged (Cone), Minor DMG(Smashing), Foe -To-Hit, Knockback Petrifying Gaze 35 Ranged, Foe Hold Dark Blast 41 Ranged, Moderate DMG(Negative), Foe -To-Hit Night Fall 41 Ranged (Cone), Moderate DMG(Negative), Foe -To Hit Tenebrous Tentacles 44 Ranged (Cone), Moderate DoT(Negative/Smash), Foe Immobilize, -To-Hit It has three cones that all use a Dark murky energy appearance much like the cloud of Brimstone from Nightcrawler. Just a few thoughts...

It is possible since the Winter Beast is all but a GM he maybe partially based off of their mechanics, and since GMs levels are Based off the Zone /Map level he may not be able to exceed 50. Just a guess.

Have you seen Vorpal Judgement in the Incarnate Abilities? The animation is very close to being just what you described. It is a Multi Target Melee Cone attack ( 80-120 ft, 80-120 degree, 20-40 max targets ) and deals extreme smashing damage and may cause lethal damage over time. They may be able to rework it into more of a moderate damage melee and reuse a tweaked version of the animation. Below is a Video.

I want "Vomit" back, there used to be an /e string to do it but it was renamed or disabled. Just the perfect emote for many situations, lol.

Have you noticed that the trees leaves have changed color around Atlas Park in keeping with it being Autumn, nice touch even though it's not an event.
