City of Heroes

[Aluscia]

After some thinking, I decided to leave Lineage until C1 comes out... if nothing is made better, I won't miss the game much. However, I picked up this little gem instead.... SUPER FUN! I'll attach two of my fav screenies :D

[Ghryphen]

I bought Star Wars Galaxies yesterday, I am playing with a bunch of ATF. I will keep my Lineage account active at least until C1

[FaLLGuY]

I played Star Wars Galaxies but City of Heroes is much better. I luv the Santa pic. Star Wars Galaxies you have to do a lot of crap but in CoH they make it a little more easier.

[Maz]

CoH is greater then SWG from what I hear, people that I use to play FFXI with play CoH now, and they love it

[Aluscia]

It's hugely quest oriented, but it's fun quests.... because There is no grinding you have to do before the next quest. The grind is completely gone :D

[Stang]

That game is gettin great reviews from everyone and its sucking people in everyday.

Love your costume :). I wanna see what the front looks like now :). I like how you can totally create your own character that way you dont see the same person over and over in the game.

[KitZune]

Oooooh I wanted this game at the same time as Lineage 2.... I looked at them both and had to make a tough choice.... I may have made the wrong one... I love comics and superheros so much....

[Ghryphen]

It sounds like Insaneferret is playing CoH too.

[FaLLGuY]

your missing out Gryph.. :gwave:

[Nilk]

already was a CoH topic :p
i'm on pinnacle, you?

[Aluscia]

Victory, but I may start on another server :D That's the good thing about it, not really grindy... although I'm having trouble finding Circle of Thorns peeps to bust up in King's Row.... any suggestions?

[Stang]

Your turning Gryphon into a game whore, hes out buying all these games :twak:

[Nilk]

we st of yellowline on the rofftops
gets your building climbing skills built, if you can't fly that is :D

[Maz]

poor Stang, lol

[Aluscia]

More pics :D These ones are from the front, Stang.
Can you guess which archetype/specialty I am? I'll give you a hint... I match exactly which one I should.

[Maz]

too much clothing :P

[Stang]

Damn that is a good character great work :D.

[Aluscia]

A couple more of my favourite anime character of all time reborn :D

Kudos to whoever can answer which anime character it is ;) (And yes, I am standing on a lamp post... yay super jumping :D)

[KitZune]

I would know Major Kusanagi anywhere. If you check my Devi Info... she's my new favourite Cartoon character ; )

[Stang]

Nice work again Laurelin :D

Hey is there any other type of areas besides the city? All I see are city shots every where and just wondering if they have other areas.

[Aluscia]

There's some parks..... but they're really really scary >.< Otherwise, yeah... it's all city

[Maz]

"City" of heroes

[insaneferret]

its got loads of indoor areas, and each city zone has it's own flavor, ghetto, industrial port, cultured district with huge statues etc.

there's the danger zones like the woodsy perez park, a city thats been destroyed by an earthquake, dark city crawling with the undead and ghosts

indoor missions in sewers, offices, warehouses, caves, tech style buildings, nazi underground bases

always lots of variety

[STUWEY]

this game looks cool

and i think that character looks like KOS-MOS from Xenosaga

[Aluscia]

Ice Controller? Awesome :D

[Stang]

Ok thats cool I was going to say that would be boring if it was just that city you always seen in SS.

[Nilk]

hmmm I have some pics, but CoH makes them as TGA, what could I use to convert this?

[Ghryphen]

paint shop pro will

[Aluscia]

I have a program called Irfan View.... That's what I used to crop/save as a new format.

[insaneferret]

actually a empathy/force defender, the healer in the group
i used a freeware prog called wavel pic2pic to convert them to something usable

KOS-MOS (http://podezing.free.fr/kaolla/wallpapers/kosmos.jpg)? heck no, wasn't trying to imitate anything, completeley original character

[Aluscia]

Yeah, beat that game :D I love Xenosaga, can't wait for the next one!

[Nilk]

first 2 pics, are my character Silvermoon, based on a character I drew in highschool, almost identical just missing her cloak :(
next 2 are an intro to "boomtown" where an alien invasion, and being overrun by mobs of gangs has completely destroyed part of the city.
As soon as I find it again, I will post a picture of a car impaled on a tree :D

[Stang]

Where is she? :D

She blends into the pavement too well :).

[Aluscia]

I'm playing a Fire Blaster right now... talk about super fun! So many cool abilities... Like Rain of Fire, Fire Ring, etc etc etc.... so much fun :D

[Stang]

Fire is always fun :devil:

[Nilk]

I have a radiation/empathy defender also, and I think I'm starting Shai'tan, the flame/inuvlunerable tank next ;)
though my scrapper DOES make a decent tank with so many densive skills already, but she drinks END like water.

[Nilk]

nasty new area of the city that I have been recently introduced to. Called Faultline.
has cracks that are close to a half mile deep, they do have bottoms filled with as many baddies as the surface(which is like running into an aggresively violent block party)
1st pic is of Silvermoon highlighted by my Quick Pretige Power, so stang can pick her out :P jumping into the crevice(beasties in bottom right-hand corner are some sort of Circle of Thorns Demons)
2nd one is trying to get a perspective on the area

[Ghryphen]

OMG, the world ISN'T flat! Finally a sshot with some variation in the landscape.

[Nilk]

I'll get some of perez park for you, there are still several areas I can't enter, and I won't go back to faultline w/o an 8 player team(got slaughtered while taking pictures, lol)

[Atheist]

I'm in too..

Here's a bunch of pics of Lord Mindstorm - Level 7 mutant mind controller.

The last shot is of Me, Ambush Bug, and RedSirus. :)

[Nilk]

first shot is a clearer picture of my character :P
second one, I'm hanging with the "homies"(hellions) and terrorizing a passing nurse
third one, is me hangin with the local stiffs(Vazhalkans, or some such), in Perez Park
fourth, I'm praying with the local druids(Circle of Thorns), in Perez Park
fifth, is an enterance, into the woods which fill Perez Park

[Nilk]

first shot I"m trying to convey the size and dynamics of Perez Park, and while your not getting killed there, it is kinda purty :D
2nd shot I've gotten almost as high as I can get(not a flyer or jumper) and showing the canopy of trees, which envelopes PP
3rd, I finally found my way up a skyscraper :)
4th, is indoor fun with guys in pajamas(tsao)
5th, I think he's trying to play catch with me, I wasn't into it, so this was the last view of him, before he died.

[Stang]

ahhh so thats where Bug has been you've sucked him into another game :p.

[Maz]

the've sucked eveyone in that game, but our cool group won;t get sucked in

[Stang]

Thats right!

[Aluscia]

yeah, because it's so cool to miss out on a fun and easy game... yeah.... so cool... :P

[Stang]

Yeah just like paying for 3 games monthly is cool too :).

[Torque]

I'm getting excited about T::V. I'm doing my honeydos. I advancing the age of my kids quite rapidly. I'm stocking up on late night snacks and drinks. I'm stockpiling numerous hours of sleep. I'm losing weight, exercising. Flexing my fingers. I'm playing the Rocky song. I'm counting the days to when I start Beta (I can wish can't I). Who needs COH!!
:zzz :zzz :hclam: :bubbles: :biggrinp: :o :shock: :redbounce :redbounce :hawaii: :hawaii: :corn: :lol :redx:

[Maz]
