Altitus strikes again. Here's Knight Star, my space faring, TitanWeapon/DarkArmour Brute with a bit of sorcery thrown in too. I've always struggled with Titan Weapons, but with the costume and idea, the AT just seemed to click this time. Liking it so far 🙂

I don't often play support classes, but really enjoying this guy. Ill/Time Controller

You're absolutely right, amazing how easy it is in the light of sobreity. Many thanks 🙂

So here's one from me, some may know part of the story... He was a bit rubbish to play, Rad/DP defender... Then we lost our beloved game and I was forced to move to... the other British Hero became Doc. Britain! He was equally rubbish. Can't even remeber what he was even though I played him to 6 costume unlocks... yawnorama 😞 But from the ashes... of a boredom, erm, hell, the fires of hellish boredom, there rose a hero, and his name was... BRITMAN! I actually liked him, dual blades/ regen I think... Will try and recreate him. Not so much of a bio, as a progression of an idea 🙂

That's rude! You mean all these posts are not about ME! I'm offended! (i'm really not ;))

Just realised I'd not said hi.... Hi

I need to find my pencil...

And also, why is my inital post, the op post, the post I opened this thread with, why is it post number 45? 45 people have responded to a post i've not made until post number 45! I'm the opening post, what's going on?

Glad to see this has stoked some conversation 😁. To the comment about it being a world of corrupt superheroes, this is only one super group. They mention there's 200 and somet heroes around. Maybe it's only these guys... And about Hughie, this is a great story. The Hughie character in the comics was actually based on Simon Pegg, artistically. When they went into production of the series they asked Simon if he would play the part of Hughie, but he refused because he felt he was too old, so they cast him as Hughie's Dad instead.

So, I've been otherwise engaged over the last few weeks and not been in-game, but I was wondering... In light of the recent release on Amazon prime of a live action adaptation of dynamite entertainments 'The Boys' (10/10 imo) has there been a noticeable increase in antihero types, increased rogue isles population, fan characters? Or will that now happen because I posted this! 😂😂

Dee Dee... CR... Caemgen... I feel the universe is slowly realigning! Hi guys, great to see you're all well 😉

These are great, especially Rad Radio :)

What are you even doing here then? :) I get you on this. The costume creator is great at flash, but not so much "less", I've had problems with it too, I wish we had a lot more "less flash" options. There is! there's as much non flash as flash! Experiment with parts, I'm not saying you're just taking a custom as a costume, take a custom, change parts, change all the parts. The customs are great as an idea, and idea's grow from that, just build slowly what you want, go through the whole range for every part, see what gels, be creative :)

Thanks for the suggestions all, and I think you're right Goblinite. I'd already done some experimentation with the graphics levels which made no difference, so decided to do a comparision test and installed the client on my aging win7 laptop. The game runs very smoothly (to my surprise, good ol' lappy :) ) with no rubberbanding issues at all, so the problem is either with my gaming PC or with win10. Solution: time for a new gaming PC, yay!

I'm getting it everywhere. I spent about 2 minutes trying to superjump from the Steel Canyon university entrance to Wentworths and soon as I landed, it constantly sprung me back to the uni entrance. I literally could not land at wentworths and stay there.

Hi all, wondered if this is a known problem. For the last 2 days CoH has become totally unplayable due to severe rubberbanding issues. I've tried live and test with a variety of characters and they're all the same. I can move for about 5 seconds and then I'm rebounded back to where I was. It's as though the game is caching my position every 5 seconds and then resetting me to that place. I've not changed anything in the last two days. I'm not having any other issues with internet or the pc, I can happily watch online tv with no issue, I tried 'that other superhero game' that I was playing until the new CoH was available, no issues playing that, it's just City of Heroes that seems affected. It's a complete show stopper, the game is unplayable. Anyone having similar experiences or know what the problem is?

On the old official CoH forums, there was a thread where someone was doing requests to make costumes for people. I had a costume made for me by that person, and it looked practically identical to this. Are you the person who made that costume for me? It is indeed me, Robot Henri at your service! How you doing Cheese Slicer, good to see you're back. Would be great to get that costume and fan art thread going again, I was just thinking about it the other day. I'd do it myself but, you know... lazy ;)

Amazing costumes there, I'm so glad this game is back :). Here's a few of mine, first my main character from back in the day, and recreated again now, It's the original bad tempered automaton, it's ROBOT HENRI! RobotHenri001 by john whalley, on Flickr RobotHenri002 by john whalley, on Flickr Next the man who could irradiate a grapefruit at 100 yards, Nuclear Zero! To be honest, he irradiates everything at 100 yards... he's a bit of a liability :-\ NuclearZero001 by john whalley, on Flickr If you don't believe they exist, you're in for a surprise! If you're looking for a pot of gold, chances are he got there first! It's CHANCE, my mischevious Illusion troller. Everyone's got to have a Firekin, I went literal with the Fire troll thing... I could go on, I've got hundreds of these, but I'll end for now.

Hello from British Hero ;) This was one of my mains from before the shut down, also did a little comic strip bio for him. And even had a steampunk version. Unfortunately I don't feel the need to recreate him now I'm back playing CoH... ...though I will be replacing him with a version of my Champs character BritMan :)
