Heroic primaries from UNITY or whatever it's called, takes no time at all to get. Q gear for secondaries. Nice picture. I like it because the fundamentals are amazing. Rather, I want to like it. CO laid the groundwork for a freaking amazing game. If I could like any game, it would be this one. The potential here is insane,…

Petty side tasks aren't what you build a game around. There's no incentive to keep playing. I had a **** ton of badges on my mains in COH. I collected those in between content patches, after grinding the best loot on my alts. I did that in the meantime because new content was coming. An end game existed. And I collected…

And now the best loot can be bought for nothing RL cash in the Q trade (plus the trivial amount of heroic grinding,) sooo0o... Who cares? I obviously never played this game before COH closed because I'm not retarded.

Wanna play some PoE? I haven't played this game in months..

PVP is better here. PVP in COH was nerfed into lolstatus years ago. But they share one thing in common- PVP is ultimately irrelevant in both games so who cares how good it is?
-
I'm just incapable of taking anyone seriously who thinks that The Sims should be considered a legit game. I'm sorry. But that **** is weak. If that's what you want CO to aspire towards, you are a part of the problem. I never like to say this, but I think that some people could actually benefit from playing WoW.
-
I agree. In COH we had Virtue and Freedom. I've always been for letting the scrubs play pretend in peace while the people who actually played the game raked it in. Let people play how they want to play. The trouble here is that there's nothing to do for the folks who actually want to keep playing, unless they want to go…
-
If you know me from the COH boards you know that I really don't care if people like me or not. Some of my best in game COH friends RP'ed and I ripped on them for it all the time. That includes Dechs if you remember him, and the math folks loved him just as much as the RP folks. If he could still be my buddy and put up with…
-
LOL people think the Sims is a game worth taking seriously here. I rest my case.
-
EDIT* misquote Laughed off of Freedom after the first time you stood in the green stuff on MoKeyes I take it? Either that or never even tried. Went back to RPing?:p ;D Tell me what else to do without pseudo-artsy nonsense and I'll jump right back in. I like games that have actual stuff to do though. Not repeating…

I'm sort of curious as to why you guys want this so badly. I would think you'd be more concerned about getting a more large scale, raiding end game with involved content (or large group content in general.) We had AE in City of Heroes and it was really only used for farming.
-
I don't even know what loli means and I'm 23. I'm assuming it's one of those Dragon Ball Z words based on your avatar. Personally I thought this was a super hero game, but I digress. Carry on, thread!
-
Alright, I have a question. My three month subscription is going to expire in about a month and I'm thinking of just buying the LTS before or when it expires. I'm wondering if I buy a LTS while I still have subscription time active, will I be refunded in any part for that active subscription time (perhaps in the form of…

The game is finally working for me.
-
It's on their end. Check the notice: http://co.perfectworld.com/
-
At least they're aware of the issue- Check out the notice in the red box: http://co.perfectworld.com/

I lost it at Chinese overlords. 10/10

Thanks guys. I ended up calling Time Warner anyways and it turns out that I was having a separate issue with my wireless modem overheating. Got that replaced and was able to play without issue for about 3 hours. Unfortunately I got stuck with a long load around an hour ago and had to manually close the game. Since then my…
-
I'm now having this issue. I'm US based. Launcher tries to open, "tried connecting 2 times," error.
-
No. This game is tacky, lighthearted and funny. I like that it's not doom and gloom self satisfied writing with crappy RP pretendy drama. That was the worst thing about COH. I'm 23 years old btw.
-
I'm really glad I came across this thread. I've been having disconnect issues for the past few days, to an extent that it's crashing my whole wireless internet connection for several minutes at a time. I was going to call my ISP tomorrow- I thought it was an issue with my router. I have Time Warner and it's usually top…

I figured this is as good a place as any to post this- I got my first 40 last night! Here are a couple of shots commemorating the occasion. http://i46.tinypic.com/2h532bb.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/1570l6t.jpg Also more on topic, I decided that before I start grinding for good gear and mods that I would recreate my main…
-
I really appreciate all the insight- Unfortunately I had less time to play this week than I anticipated. I decided to spend more free time beginning the process of putting together videos for my COH characters so I have yet to hit the magic number on my character here. I'll definitely be referencing this thread frequently…
-
Hahaha calm down, I said I didn't think you were doing it intentionally. Jeesh! And I'm not a part of the "COH is infallible" crowd, for the record. I actually like a lot of things better here. I was just throwing my two cents in and offering my views on some things I don't particularly care for. Notice that the first…

You know, I actually almost pieced that together on my own. I went with /targetcustomnext stingray as per COH. At this point I figured you guys just didn't have very comprehensive slash commands, not that they were simpler. You could do without a bit of your snark though, to be fair. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but I…
-
Ahh, interesting. I guess I'm on board with their decision, obviously. It'd be great for me to see it expanded. Yeah, the instanced, consolidated approach sounds better to me personally. I don't know. Overall, I think it's awesome. It's a neat environment with tons of the great campy stuff that makes CO awesome to me,…
-
Ah I didn't know that. I'm still ironing out the details of the game quite a bit as you can see. I appreciate the help. I don't think Shadow Embrace fits conceptually with the build, but I'll definitely keep it in mind for future projects. Also, doesn't it do dimensional damage, meaning that Quarry won't buff it as…
-
But isn't the secondary for Targeting Computer +critical severity, whereas the secondary for Quarry is +dodge? I thought crit severity was best for DPS and dodge was a survivability mechanic? I'm not trying to call you a liar, I'm just legitimately confused. Cool suggestions but I thought only one AOE attack per build was…
-
I have a different perspective to offer since I'm new to the game. I'll admit that I only came here because COH is shutting down, but for what it's worth I'm glad I did. I've gotten my character to level 33 so far and it's been a blast. The production quality in this game is extremely enjoyable to me, and the content is…
-
Thanks for the information everyone. I've gotten a few purple drops. Are purples as big of a deal here as they are in COH? The numbers don't seem particularly impressive. I also have a somewhat related question- Is there a comprehensive list of gear and mods with numbers somewhere? The only character builder I've found is…
-
Do you have any suggestions? My primary superstat is Dex, and my others are Con and Ego. I have my main build set in a ranged damage role- my spec trees are dex, vindicator and avenger. The thing is that I would like to be able to comfortably switch between roles. I have my second build using Regen as a passive so I can…
-
I figured I would bump this thread rather than make a new one since I'm working on the same character and there's a lot of helpful information in here that other people might also want to see. I've gotten to level 28 and things are starting to make more sense to me but I'm still wondering about some stuff. -I'm not sure…
-
Out of curiosity have you considered updating the OP with a list of scheduled events for this day? All I'm seeing is way too many posts to sift through after a 'say hi in Ren Center' OP. In COH when people in the community organize events, we lay out a trajectory for what the groups will be doing. This seems particularly…
-
As a COH transplant, I find the title of this thread sort of annoying and contrary to the message that the CO community seems to be putting forth as a whole. Perhaps the thread title alone is inspiring some hostile posters to come in with pitch forks.. Just a thought.
-
Yep, got that taken care of. Thanks everyone! Funny, I remember all of those sliders and drop downs, and could've sworn I made them the same. I don't know where the tailor is in CO to double check/make any necessary changes, though. >.>
-
Ah, I'm turning down the bloom intensity as I type this and I see that it's improving the whitewashed issue. Do you have a recommended setting to leave it on? The lighting seems to vary quite drastically from zone to zone and I'd hate to have to adjust it on a regular basis. This still isn't helping the cape issue though.…
-
I think I'm starting to figure things out a bit, I really appreciate everyone being so helpful/patient with me.
-
My character here in CO is from Paragon City, but he was never a super hero there. I actually never wrote bio's for my COH characters because I felt like people who did that took their characters way too seriously. In Campions Online that isn't really a problem though, lul. His bio: A former resident of Steel Canyon,…
-
I know it's probably just because I'm new and I'm very used to COH, but the mods, and tons of other "stat" currencies that COH covered through nothing but enhancements is still overwhelming to me. I'm still working my way through builds- Like, what advantage points, tree points, all that stuff means, and how it works. I'm…
-
So this time around I found myself with a wealth of missions. I ended up going to the Desert at level 13ish up until 17. I have more stuff to do there, but the enemies are a couple of levels higher than me, and I wanted to check out Canada anyways. I just got started there a little bit ago, even though I haven't finished…
-
yeah, playing more and more I'm seeing how off base I was. In COH, you needed a strong string of attacks in order to do effective damage. When i was putting this together the whole "no cooldowns" thing was over my head. Not having to build an attack chain is quite a bit of a game changer, huh? I've been playing a bit more,…
-
Ok, so I just rerolled and hit level 10 on my guy and unlocked my spec tree. I'm not seeing rush of battle, or vindicator as an option. Maybe I'm just confused, but I felt like they should be here based on what I've read in this thread. Dex is still my primary and appears to be what I'm locked into for the spec tree. My…
-
This is all great, thanks everyone. I've still been spending most of my gaming time on COH but I'm really loving this game. I will be referring to all this info next time I play. I'm thinking of rerolling my guy so I'll be able to start fresh, and I got some good powers advice for free form in the builds section too that I…
-
First, amen to teleport. It's pretty sweet. Also, amen to the power customization, and ditto for training. It's nice not to have to go to an Arbiter/Hero to train up and customize my powers. What I've really liked about CO is how much more fun the game environment is. Not the social environment, just strictly the game. I…
-
Oh... Yooouu. moves hand to boomerang.
-
Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll definitely be referencing them as I get more involved in the game. It was mentioned that the AOE boomerang power is a good choice. Haha, who goes there!? Identify yourself.
-
Without sounding too critical, since I don't know your exact situation here... Paragon had quite a bit of its senior Dev staff working on a new IP. Paragon was also proactively hiring new dev's and working on this *separate*project, much reminiscent of your NWO IP for all feasible purposes- in consideration to said Paragon…
