"Save some of your Questionite, too, because there might just be a Q-Store update in the near future ? and there are whispers on the wind of still more, including a massive giveaway for veteran heroes. Stay tuned for more details!"

Did I miss that update or did the whispers turn out to be dust in the wind? Is that coming with the next phase?

Just expected a little more than this, guys. Not trying to be a jerk. Thanks for the cake, though. Billboards are awesome.
Disregard...

I sure hope the Ren Center invasion gets repeated on an hourly basis. I so enjoy content like the old town invasions from UO. :biggrin:
After that it degenerated into yet another Drifter mission, one of the more grindier ones too since not all critters drop what you need.
But it was certainly great fun for all of 10 minutes. And the conga line was fun too. :cool:

The congo line was priceless...

Destroy droids also sometimes get stuck at lvl 40 health, which is a bother if you are around lvl 15 (though the lvl 40 loot is a nice touch

Whenever Dr. D takes over the billboards and gives his little speech it seems Ren Center is about to be overrun by Destroids.
Coooooool. :biggrin:

Sweet video!
I missed Dr Destroyer Speech because my connectiong went full slow in development :c

My luck...Looked fun though.

@Scrizz :biggrin:
What? Make the cake appear and dissappear for various timezones and do the conga???
That's the only thing what actually happened.
The destroid attacks are all the same. Doc speaks every hour. You can do the Drifter daily.

It's easy and you get 2k Q for it. I don't see the problem. It's also a nice forbearance of things to come! dun dun dunnnn

Perhaps you meant to use foreshadow?

Probably not v.v Yes, we'll use that one! lol

A fight with the Champions would end badly. I'm sure quite a few of us around could solo all five of them without passing 50%.
...Oh, fight WITH them. Not with, as in against.
Meh.
Deliciously nutritious!
All I know is, the first time Defender mentions a beacon or yells BLOCK, I'm snuffing him...
With, against, doesn't matter. Headshot...
I'm just sayin'...

That isn't nearly as bad as...
SURRENDER VILLAINS.
Deliciously nutritious!
Yeah, this. With those two groups in large gatherings near my mission entry points, I can now say after seven years of MMOing that this is the first time I've been griefed by NPCs :eek:
Now, let's have that hourly conga line!
everquest... the first one. not the sequel.
aggro one bad guy. he yells for help, 5 more bad guys charge you, THEY all yell for help, now theres 30+ bad guys after you. you are seriously screwed... so you run. now they chase you.... and chase you... and chase you... all the way to the end of the zone because badguys dont have chase limits, and the zones are HUGE... while trying to get away you just cant make it.... and you die. right at the feet of a huge elite baddy... now you need to run that hour back to your corpse cause all your elite gear is sitting on it. get back to your corpse and have to race the big bad standing over it, ninja loot and run... but he's to fast for you and you die again... ANOTHER hour run back... then another and another cause the ****ing baddy spawnpoint is right by your corpse so its like he is camping you... one of your friends finally log in and you get his help to either hold aggro off you long enough to loot your corpse with gear on it, or kill it if he's powerfull enough. get yer crap and gtfo of there.....
a whole day wasted. AND you lost almost 2 levels since you lost xp with every death.
now THAT is being griefed by npc's... kickin it OLD school
Never played Everquest and probably would have not liked that game mechanic even less than what I am seeing in CO. But I'll survive. I just got to level 15
I'm glad somebody posted this. I missed to whole end of Anni 3.
Did someone test this before adding it because I do think just about anyone would have noticed the added aggravation of doing missions with 2 groups of added goons outside where you are to do mission.
I don't mind the groups that have the 3 bar droid, that one is easy.
But the group with two 2 bar droids are a bother since they seem to stun and remove your defences.
You go in and then stun and health go down in 2 sec flat. Not overly fun, though you do get the title dead as a doorknob very fast....

Someone wasn't a bard...
First, they added corpse dragging. If you knew a monk, the monk could do the feign death flop to get you your bod. Of course, if you had mean friends they'd play corpse keep away while you ran around after them. :rolleyes:
Corpse drag was added because peeps couldn't be trusted, since you could give someone permission to loot your bod and they wouldn't necessarily give you your stuff back. :mad:
Later, they added coffins. If you had the money, you could pay to have your corpse summoned by a necro or shadow knight.
Unless you knew a cleric...
In the game, I'm @Knickknacks.
i was such a nerd back then.... as opposed to now...........
I'll see your old skool NPC griefing and raise you intelligent critters in UO that would loot your corpse. I remember an epic battle with an Orc Mage in UO...
DIE ORC! Fight!
Death! Damn, there went my chest armor.
Run to an NPC healer or hopefully another player along the way who had a resurrect power.
Run back to Orc Mage, hoping that no other player had killed him and looted YOUR armor off the Orc Mage's corpse.
Whew, still there. Fight!
Death! Damn, he's got my leggings too now.
More frantic, yet ghostly running. Nice, a wandering healer!
Now back to the Orc Mage. Fight!
SWEET VICTORY!!!
Gimme back my stuff you stupid Orc.
Now that's some real Old Skool NPC Griefing.
Oh yeah, back on topic... Why couldn't you guys just pull one of groups? Worked great for me.
People are broken. - Lum the Mad
ok... thats one thing you got me on :biggrin:, i woulda just thrown my computer out the window if an npc looted my corpse....
And I would have loved to have seen either the MC fight or the stuff in Canadia (never seen Necrull outside his cave).
In the game, I'm @Knickknacks.
When i saw that video 1st time when it was released, i was hoping something like that.

This would be an awesome idea for CO,but maybe have it in a specific instance,since well,there would be hordes of enemies everywhere,but it would be really fun for the level 30s through 40s.Maybe a Takofanes invasion one month,a Dr.D one the next.

A decent bard made a good group great. But, even early on in the game, a well played bard was totally OP. It made just about any group good, and good groups amazing, and could solo better than any druid kiter. The Bard mechanics were friggin awesome, and an accident on the part of SoE from what I understand. The problem is that not many peeps knew how to play a bard well, so while there were a lot of peeps that saw some bard doing amazing things and wanting to try it out, mostly they leveled one to the 20's or 30's and said "this class sucks" and went back to easier stuff like the necro. :rolleyes:
Believe me, not only did I live your scenario, but experienced running up against the corpse decay timer and potentially losing my equipment, my backup equipment, and the third set of nice looking lower level gear I was saving in the bank.
Fear break in was absolutely brutal. :eek:
it's possible. I had heard/seen that they added graveyards (or something like that) after I left. Basically, if you died somewhere and you didn't collect your corpse in a certain amount of time (like a day), then it would appear in the graveyard and you could get it there anytime in the next couple days.
I ended up playing EQ because of a couple of RL friends, and I got in a guild because one of the RL friends got invited to one by some guy who wanted to flirt with her. (I don't see the point online, but whatever.)
That guild ended up disbanding a couple months later, but I followed a couple of the the peeps I met there into another super friendly guild that I was with for years. My last year or so in EQ I was in a hardcore progression guild (second place, and trying to get to first), and was the #7 bard on the server. I learned my lesson, since I spent more time in EQ than I did at my job.
Yeah, early game wonder is awesome. 8)
And your realization is something that I don't think a lot of peeps really get, or if they do get it they use the anonymity to behave in ways they wouldn't if you met them in RL.
In the game, I'm @Knickknacks.
I would definitely play that game. Sounds fun. :biggrin:
But oh can you imagine the whining. People already QQ about a paltry weekend of Bloodmoon.
People are broken. - Lum the Mad
i wasnt a fan of blood moon. not because it wasnt cool, not because of all the baddies walkin around messing things up. but because it was getting the "stale" feeling.
my opinion? monthly events. lasting a week. the poster you were quoting has a similar idea, but im not a fan of the "ranking moar and moar difficulty", im thinking like a series of quests. could be an invasion, could be a scavenger hunt (find these X amount of glowies in hidden locations! heres some clues!, could be a natural disaster that needs averting (a giant meteor is heading to earth! the heroes need to stop it! here build 'x' machine to a- teleport you there to destroy by super power hand or b- totally destroy it by planting on its surface). and no need to trash them, the content can always be there. every month a random event or possibly have them in rotation/scheduled (but kept secret... ssshhhh)
Wait? Whaaaa..?
Sounds great. How many will need to be done to prevent a feeling of staleness? And how do you plan to fund all the development time this would take?
People are broken. - Lum the Mad
Well, they seem like they're already doing exactly this, so I assume just keep on with business as usual.
