Greycat Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Yes, it's six months away. But next year's anniversary is COH's 20th. I think we should have more than just a badge for it, don't you? (And 25th, really. Quarter century of COH and all.) Now, *what* I don't know. But this should be a big one - which means it'd need time to do. Being able to see the end-of-beta event, possibly, even if just in Ouro (I know how tired people can get of invasions, after all.) Even if it's just a "close as we could get" thing. Release a special costume? What should be done for the big 140? (Dogs like COH too, after all...) ... and how many of us just went "20... damn, I'm old?" 6 1 3 Kheldian Lore and Backstory Guide 2.0: HC edition Out to EAT : A look at Epic ATs - what is, could have been, and never was Want 20 merits?

Scarlet Shocker Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 2 decades is 1/3 of my life, but a tiny tiny fraction of @Snarky's unlife But yes, I agree something special would be required. 2 1 There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator but only a fraction of people understand that.

Techwright Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Not really sure how it could be done in the time scale and with the challenges of our older lives, but the game use to have meet-and-greets across the USA. Seems to me, something like that might be 20-worthy. Perhaps a virtual m-and-g or some sort of combination? Of course, a fair portion of you play stalkers, and I have to wonder if there's a real-life component to your choices, so... 😜 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biostem Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Maybe take a relatively unused zone, like Kallisti Warf, and trigger an end-of-beta-like invasion of old school Rikti. Alternatively, could they utilize something like Ouroboros to allow us to go back and see the 1st Rikti invasion, and fight along side all the signature heroes? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wanting forever to do a time warp to fight alongside Atlas at the bridge or take on Nemesis for Brass Monday. Speaking of Atlas, the dev team made the statue's globe into a pumpkin for Halloween events. Could they modify the statue for something appropriate for the 20th, like a disco ball or maybe something with the Spectrum skin or such? Special banners around City Hall and statue park, each tram station, maybe adding special billboards, and providing counterparts to Red and Gold sides, as well as Pocket D would be appropriate as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What @Frozen Burnwas referring to was after beta, in Issue 1. They just released the Shadow Shard zones and wanted to spread the impact of that across higher level zones to encourage players to visit.

This is exciting, though modifying the statue for motion would likely be a massive undertaking. Perhaps a static modification of the statue, but add a "holographic" 20th Anniversary banner that rotates around it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
