  1. The first two rounds were hard enough -- so many great costumes and biographies to choose from, and a ton of consolation prizes given away to participants. But it's all coming down to the wire: The third and final Team Veracity Costume Contest qualification round happens this Wednesday in Atlas Park, starting at 8:30 EST/5:30 PST. Come and marvel at the creativity of the community, and compete for preliminary prizes valuing over 250 million Inf, as well as a chance to be entered in the Grand Tournament with a grand prize of 420 million Inf! Judging and winners will be broadcast live on https://www.twitch.tv/tortoisecasts the day of the contest.
  2. Not just a TB first, but a world first AFAIK: Last night, the Hamidon in the Abyss was burned to the ground without first clearing mitos. Welcome to the new 30-second Hami, folks - it's a brand-new day in Paragon.
  3. I asked fearless leader if bio's would count. His response: "As much as you want in your general rating ,and then for 10% outright."
  4. The general consensus among the decision-makers (I'm just a humble press releaser) is that original creations will be preferred, but a really good cosplay won't be rejected out of hand. Nothing wrong with gimmicks, but for this event we're looking for costumes that "exalt the possibilities of the CoH character creator".
  5. Having trouble debugging my old arc I dug up out of storage: I get 4 repeats (in one window) of "Could not parse Custom Character / CustomVillainGroupError is not a valid enemy group." This persists even after fixing everything AE reports as an error. Took a look at the characters and can't see anything obvious missing. I can provide both the original .storyarc files and the current ones after my inept and semi-random messing with them.
  6. Team Veracity, Torchbearer's preeminent coalition of the fashionably unfashionable, is proud to present Not Just Another Costume Contest. Yes, next week the good citizens and despicable villains of Homecoming's first and finest server will have the chance to don their finest apparel and compete for awards totaling over 500 million influence, with many additional prizes also available to participants. Stay tuned to for information on scheduling and more.
  7. Did 'They Call Me the Doctor' through Ouroboros with no badge on completion. Oddly, a few days later I noticed I have the Crey pistol accolade that requires it. I really, really miss Herostats - it would make it so much easier to check on these things.
  8. Frigid Bridget reporting in, glad to have run into so many old familiar faces on the resurrected Pinnbadges -- Bill Z Bubba, Pie-Ro, and more! Anyone in touch with Jane Reaction? Still fondly remember her leading us to victory on Master of STF.
  9. For an encore, and another server first AFAIK, the good folks of Veracity took CR_Tempest on many trials today and finished up with a blueside Hamidon raid where we burned through the bloom at 75%. Many deaths, but emboldened we pressed on to the Abyss and took down redside Hami even smoother, with almost no deaths. Kudos all around!
  10. I just got Unoriginal (no insps, level 25-29) no problem.
  11. Heroes and villains of Torchbearer: From the league that gave you four Hami raids in one day (blueside, redside, Seed, and Underground Trial), I give you: The Really Hard Crew. Thanks to Tortoise for another phenomenal job of cat-herding, and everyone who carried this squishy and poorly slotted controller to what felt like the easiest RHW ever (and it was only my second time).
  12. And a second raid just finished, smoother than the last after one bout of miscommunication on whether we were backing off or powering through the bloom. So after a 75% bloom where some backed off and many died, we took out the mitos quicker than ever and took down the big guy despite a double bloom.
  13. I'd love to have an up-to-date HeroStats (it took me forever to remember the name).
  14. on our first (AFAIK) successful Hamidon raid. Rough start, but with enough Essence of the Earth, the only tricky part is backing off each time he blooms. Great organizing by Tortoise, great tanking by Voight Pomf Test, and exceptional patience demonstrated by all, especially those seeing the big Jello glob for the first time. Looking forward to many more. Welcome back to Paragon, everyone. It truly does feel like coming home.
  15. Someone had said they ran Death From Below with no problems a few days ago. Today I joined a league that said they had just finished a Lambda, and we ran five BAF's with only one major mapserver disconnect. Maybe that was the reason we just had another server reboot :D
  16. Back in le day it was literally called "dual boxing" because most people couldn't run two copies on the same machine.
  17. Agreed. No matter what happens in the future, the last few days have been truly glorious.
  18. I'm a former City of Heroes player. And City of Heroes was my first MMO, and will probably always be my only MMO. *Res ipsa loquitor*.
  19. Frigid Bridget checking in again. Finally got on the server today and it was every bit as glorious as anticipated. Can't wait to see you all there soon.
