From CoH to CO... Here I came.

I'm a rper from Virtue, and just came here a few weeks after the announcement of CoH going down.

I'm having fun here, and in general the community is very welcoming, so you all deserve a big THANK YOU!!!.

I'm remaking some of my characters here, still working out how to adapt them to CO's lore (Sort of a reboot, if you want to call it that), and enjoying the exploratory ride.

I'm @Baronesa in game, same global I had on CoH.


See you all in game

    I'm here from CoH also. Starting out with the 3 month deal as that was too good a price to ignore, from what I'm seeing, this may just turn out to be a good new home. I'm also a rper from virtue.

    Always nice to see new faces around these parts! Glad to have you here. Might I recommend Whiteout as something to poke? It's something a little bit different in CO and one of my favourite bits of content.

    Another CoH (Liberty server in my case) refugee. Migrating and jumping in with both feet (Premium member with about 4K in goodies already acquired (mostly extra costume stuff). It looks like I made a good choice in waiting until CO had some time to mature and get more stuff to flesh it out. Looks like I should be able to recreate several CoH fave characters pretty effectively here. Watch out Millennium City!

    I am also from CoH. Why anyone stuck to ONE server when you can make so many toons if you play all of them I dont know....lol.....BUT....I was mainly Virtue, I guess, along with Union. Oh heck, I am an altaholic. *holds up lighter and hums coombaya* .. yeah, you try and hum it!

    You may or may not have seen me on Virtue as Paragon Vanguard, or Luke Minhere, or Hassle, or ... well, on Union I was Ammo Dump. I am a follower of Tanker Tuesday (see them on facebook), and was a member of many Super Groups which I maintained an upstanding citizenship to, considering I was the leader of most of them, though not all.

    How long do you have to have an account to be able to actually start your own thread?

    **shrugs** Only so many hours in a day. I had 100+ spread over the servers, but I mostly played on Victory (30+ characters) because I had a great SG full of people there (Legion of Valor).

    EDIT: Oh, and I think the weird "start a thread" gate is over after a week, but mine may have gone away because I asked the mod about it and maybe he did something behind the scenes. I don't know because he never replied, but I DID send a second "never mind" email so he wasn't really required to.

    A week post gate sounds about right. I think it is there to stop trolls from making uber accounts and, well, trolling. I guess.
    Thanks! :)

    I too am a CoH refugee, from Union, where my Main was The Night Judge. Other ex-Union players prob won't have heard of me -I only rarely teamed due to playing by wifi supplied by an ISP that thinks 'games-player' is a euphemism for 'possible illegal downloader, we bet'. ('Traffic Shaping' -it's not big and it's not clever.)

    Still getting the feel of CO compared to CoH, but so far there's nothing that jars or I don't like: it's just a different game. (Still on the fence about whether or not my main getting repeatedly creamed in the final part of the Demonflame arc is -as has been suggested by veterans- a bug, or just my gameplay.)

    Having said that, finding a lot of the stuff about the graphics on the forums bemusing to say the least -on CoH I had to have everything set so low I'd joke I was playing with stick figures on a crayon background, but my laptop seems to be handling CO more easily and hey, the graphics actually look very similar to CoH at the settings I used to have to play it at. And so far I haven't been getting anything like the same degree of lag.

    (There's an irony here: I ended up in CoH back in February 2012 because endless threads/comments in these forums about CO being a system-killer led me to conclude I wouldn't be able to run it on the single-core Sempron machine I got in a sale the same year CO came out. Then I fell in love with CoH, its content (not so much its lore, but the niggles weren't enough to spoil the arcs) got a kick out of how positive, friendly and helpful the in-game chat was -played every day for 6 months and I saw "Read The Wiki" offered as 'help' in the Help Channel only once, and then the guy was only making a joke to a WoW refugee & immediately started offering actual advice- so didn't even think about CO again until a week and a bit ago. Only to find CO runs fine, ageing single-core Sempron & wheezy Nvidia 8200-thingy vid card notwithstanding.)

    Like many others I am recreating (versions of) my CoH toons here in CO, and so far I'm pretty impressed at how close I'm able to get them -it's like same characters, new artist. So if you too are an Union refugee and you run into Cosmic Charlie, Ipsissimus, The Pale Phantom, Ms. Impervious or Grim Justice, say hi. If I haven't gone blind from trying to read the tiny, wee chatbox (as close as I'm willing to get to a criticsm of CO so far) I'll say hi back atcha!

    I'm a CoX refugee as well, Virtue server too. I'm still trying to get used to the way CO character building works...since I was so incredibly used to the CoX system. Like you, I'm enjoying remaking some of my favorites from CoX.

    Nice to see another Virtue-person! :smile:

    Glad to see this thread. Us in the CoH family always have an odd connection and a phenomenal ability to find each other. Glad to see that even the destruction of our great City (originally created by Cryptic for those that are unaware) it not enough to keep us apart.

    Obviously I too am a CoH refugee. And proud as hell of it. Played since August of 2004. Some of you may know me ;)

    Freedom Server primarily
    @Blue Alpha

    You may know me as
    Blue Alpha
    Prince Recluse
    Will Blade
    Ewell
    or many more

    I originally started playing Champions when it first came out, started 09/2009. Curious to see what Cryptic left CoH to create. Thought this was going to be what CoH was "supposed to be". Unfortunately I am not a big fan of cell-shading and the whole mod/loot/creation system is (still) quite confusing to me. But I am returning now, because my home has been destroyed and CO makes a pretty good alternative. ;) I respect the crap out of Cryptic (especially for their CoH closing comments) and I am happy to be back in M-City. Thanks for the kind support of the current CO player base. That having been said, I am trying to find someone....

    I only have a character name. Not a handle. Anyone feel like giving a newb some pointers ;) on how to find a character? The social tool was not very helpful, or maybe I am just using it wrong. Do they really have to be online at the same time I search? is there a way to find a handle with just a toon name? Any info would be great. Thanks.

    Welcome sight, this!

    I am @MyriadSilvre in game (and was @Myriad Silvre in CoH as well). I, like many, had a hard time accepting CoH's passing (I've yet to delete it from my computer). My at-the-time-boyfriend (now husband of nearly 4 years) introduced me to the game in 2007, and I'd played off and on ever since, though more actively in the past two years.

    I played primarily on Virtue (I love RPing but am rather timid to get things started). I don't mean to name drop, but I figure many RPed with Rothgar or Night Sai, whose 'pilots' are good friends of mine, both met via CoH. This might also give a sense of my RP style/tendencies. I was also in Phoenix Insurrection for a short time as Kaipara and later Riordan Ashe, though lack of sub kept me from the game here and there.

    My mains/most notables were:

    Mambo Awiti
    Decimbyr Tryst
    Myriad Silvre
    Techni-Kali
    Angel Corpse
    Tem'pra Aspyn

    I too am recreating former toons (aside from Techni-Kali, as there is no Crab Spider backpack here T_T), though I am waiting a bit before subscribing (you'll excuse me if I'm a bit gun-shy now...) and then I will start with Mambo, who is very near and dear to my heart.

    I honestly hated CO when I tried it out in the beta, mostly due to character wipes and I felt like I never got out of the tutorial! But I have warmed to the game, and just last night played Whiteout and enjoyed the crap outta it. I love how immersive the game play is, and I'm always up for lots of character customization!

    I currently am playing Tem'pra Aspyn in-game, so feel free to say hello!

    I was @Mister Rik over in CoH. 93 characters spread across several servers, but my only level 50 was Flaminatrix on Justice.

    I also played on Virtue (created my own vanity SG called Solar Angels), though that SG was more of a "conceptual exercise" in creating a themed team.

    I played a lot on Triumph, Defiant, and Liberty as well. I shuffled all of my villains over to the Union server.

    Um does this thing work? I'm was on Infinity mostly, albeit finite.

    I think I've finally created a linked PWE account which I hope might mean I can connect to the server when I get home... my Cryptic account login has timed out every time except once.

    Ehm ..ehm...I fear that they weren't thinking about your home server....

    Yes you can do scrappers : with the archetypes choose one that has the role of melee damage, with the freeforms...they can be any role that you want, you could create a scrapper that does melee and ranged damage if you wish and that in his spare time tank or heal too

    Hello all! I'm also a refugee from CoH, Virtue server. Was on and off for the most part, but I had a solid group of friends I'm hoping to run into on this server. My main (and so far only) character on here is a remake of my old CoH toon, H-01 (aka, Holly Harper).

    Also, I see there's a lot of RP friendly friendsy-friends on here, but are there any locations in game that are frequented by RPers I can look forward to? In CoH there was always the Pocket D, but I have no idea if there are any places like that waiting for me as I level up since I just started.

    Another refugee, making her way here. I was @Tanklet on Virtue. I had to leet my global here as it seems someone has Tanklet already o.o

    Anywho, I've finally decided to poke around and see if CO can be my new home. Hoping to meet up with friends old and new IG.

    My forum acct looks to still be on probation. Hopefully that ends soon. Until then, I'lll be lurking around in one form or another.

    Greetings to all my fellow CoH players. I too, was on Virtue server, from 2006 until the end of the world. So glad to see so many of you in this strange new world. I had 28 alts on Virtue alone, and another 20-25 spread out over the other servers. Global was @Shining Emerald.

    Look me up in game to run missions and RP. My global is @rageofangels91

    Enjoy the game!
