City of Heroes

Pages

Hey guys,

I've just bought City of Heroes and I was wondering on what server you created your heroes and if you wanted to group with a newbie

Pinnacle is the one most of us are on.

I''m on sparadiocally with BlownCircuit or Gotterdamerung.

We''d love to group with a newbie.
If you do a search on the forums you can get all of our player names and stuff.

I must play at the wolrds worst times, I never see anyone online. Got my controller up to lvl 24 last night though, coming along nicely.

Im online nights EST (sometime between 8pm and 1am), if anyone keeps a similar schedule, look for me. Tyrade on Pinnacle.

I probably overlap you by 5 minutes if we''re lucky.
10pst - 12 pst most nights.

I''ll look you up Bean.

Cpt Scarlett (I don''t think he posts much here other than to get into CoH) and I play from anywhere between 6pm PST to 10pm PST. Weekends are later of course.

I''m going to try to get on tonight but I fly out to ND tomorrow for our ''second'' wedding reception since we dissed half of the brides family by not inviting them to the main show. Oh well, more gifts and money for us and another vacation from NMCI.

Also, I''ve been trying to create a CoH channel when using the GWJ TS server since RON and BFV/1942 games have been popping up lately.

Look for Astor Scorpio and Malaria. I''m there pretty often but I probably wont play from thursday to saturday.

BTW, the latest patch allows for 64 characters supergroup names again. We might come with something more inspired than <GWJ>.

Agreed.
The New Heroes with Jobs?
League of Heroes...with Jobs.
others?

Even more confusing.... what will be our colors and our symbol? What are we gonna call our levels of rank and how will we determine who is entitled to promotions. Oh dear, I''ve gone cross-eyed.

Hmm. I take it you never got the HWJ moniker phragged?

I don''t really have a preference on the group name.

No, I sent a pm to johnny and haven''t heard anything.
We can leave the colors and symbol to whoever makes the team.
It''s pretty unintrinsuve, so even if they pick something bad it won''t be a big deal.
I would say leave the levels of rank how they are.
(or I guess copy the gwj ranks).
And promote active board members to captain.
But you know thats just what I''ve been doing with the GWJ group.

How about Employees of the Month?

Super Heroes In Training
-We step on YOU!

Friendly Neighborhood Office Linebackers
-Here comes the Pain Train!

Mostly Employed Gamers
-The rest of us are looking... really.

The TSP Report Police
-Do you have a coversheet?

... nothing else comes to mind and I feel I forced the last one a bit.

Does being a supergroup have any other perks other than seeing when people are online and being able to msg them in the chat window?

As far as I can tell the only other advantage is having the choice of altering the colors of your costume to the super group''s colors without wasting a costume slot. Supposedly there is going to be certain things coming out pertaining to super group battles and such and when City of Villians comes out next near there is talk that there will be Supergroup lairs, but I haven''t heard much more than speculation yet.

I wish the girlfriend and I would have signed up on Pinnacle instead of Triumph initially, but it''s too late now .... she''ll never abandon her level 35 Tanker. Maybe with our subsequent heroes we''ll see you guys online sometime.

Supposedly we will have a shared item vault thingie in city hall until we get our headquarters.
I haven''t ready anything about what they plan on doing with the headquarters. But I like the idea of having a place to hang out.

I''m ""El Aguila"" and are sporadically online. In fact, I''m considering leaving the game soon, since I''m a bit bored of the fighting, and with exceptions (like the guys I''ve played with from this forum), most people act really silly in the game. So I don''t think I''ll get my month''s worth.
Get me while I''m hot!

So far I haven''t had troubles finding good groups or partners with my defender. Unfortunatly it''s a totally different story with my scrapper: nobody wants yet another damage dealer in their team. On the bright side this scrapper has next to no downtime, so soloing feels like a good old dungeon crawl.

Maybe I''ve been lucky... The group leaders i''ve had have all done a good job keeping the flock together and the action flowing. People have been listening when I explain that my dark/dark defender requires everyone to stay close to be useful.

My only complain is that it gets too easy in a large (4+) balanced team. They should up the difficulty, give more incensitives to grouping and increase the dependence on other ATs... IMO, the ''you can solo to level 50 and form any type of group'' approach is flawed, it''s a MMORPG not Diablo.

Soloing, whats that? Lol
My controller was built from the ground up as a team player. It would take me forever to bring down an evil levled lieutenant. I make sure to always group with 3+ people and get a good mix.

I just don't think that many people could keep it secret that long.

This must have pre-dated the MMORPG section. Woah! Moved.

Hah sorry. I still played some after I joined here but never found this thread in the 08-12 range. And then it's been gone since. Still miss it sometimes. Clearly some other people do too.

15 years? This has to be a necro record!

And yeah, I kinda miss COH too.

Does the MMORPG still really need it’s own section?

The MMO section was created because there were basically dozens of threads in regards to WoW after its release and it was clogging up the feed/front page for weeks at a time.

The MMO section probably does not need to be around for that reason any more but it is nice to have it all in one place I think.

It’s just that when it was created having online only games was a special thing and it’s not really special anymore.

Though, online only isn’t the only thing that makes them MMORPGs.

Probably the main function this separate section serves is to save people from having to use the search function to find the thread before making that thread’s sole post for the month.

So it's like the sports section aside from the NFL thread.

I've kinda of always felt that MMOs were being ghettoized with the separate section, plus MMOs certainly live on the same gaming spectrum as LooterShooters and ARPGs but it is certainly a fist world GWJ problem that I can deal with.

Apparently some test server is up. Haven't tried yet, but here are the instructions I found from an old CoH Facebook group I'm still in:

1.) Download and install the Tequila client from the Titan network or the magnet link.
https://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index...
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:606490b92fc35d249abff9f00360302d0552e735&dn=coh

2.) Register an account on the score forums.
http://score.savecoh.com/

3.)Once you sign into your forum account proceed to the account creation portion of the website using the following link.
https://score.savecoh.com/account/

Once you have created your account all you have to do then is wait. When the server comes up the Tequila client will update and you will be able to log in using the account you created in step 2. If the websites are down DO NOT PANIC, just wait a couple of mins and try again.

Again, I cannot stress this enough, This is a TEST server, there are over 3000 of you, and a lot of you will not get in at first. There WILL be bugs, there WILL be crashes, and we will be using this data to create a more stable client for everyone to use.

My dad and brother were both big into CoH and both played last night. There are a lot of bugs but it does seem to be at least mostly functional. What a weird twist in the story of this game.
