CITY OF HEROES THREAD

It's not over.

its as the op says
leandro cracked under the pressure, gave the source code to an admin of SEGS, who summarily released it in the mega link in the op

the game is get leo to release it

It's a huge victory, but not everything. People with the technical savvy now have the tools to run a server, and if Leandro remains a huge faggot, rebuild missions and NPCs.

this just reminds me that we could have leaked a gold master of starcraft broodwar, but we didn't

Furthermore, argie fuck that's been (rightfully) tortured for his crimes against the community for the past 4 days is trying to get some sleep, and afterward will upload an instance of the mission/NPC data to a server location that is provisioning as we speak. Assuming leandro doesnt dissappear we will have everything needed for a working private server

No, we didn't. We have no mob/npc/mission data, so we have nothing to actually do in the game even if it gets to be emulated. Leandro didn't release everything yet, and it's possible he never will.

Knew the fucking bitch nigger would break sooner or later.

Do you need whatever is in the mega to run the game if a server were to start up?

The waiting game

Anyone confirm rumour he is sleeping and is dumping the DB tomorrow?

no, this is SOLELY for people who want to START their own server

Wait, we don't even have maps? Lol. And you faggots are celebrating this.

We got the source code, but the data for missions, as well as data for NPC is still not there.
It may be a blocker, since there are lot of missions, and missions are the essence of this game.
But it still way better than Paragon Chat.

leandro and the person he worked with entered the SEGS discord early in the morning last night and began to really give us the down and dirty on how everything works and what has been the issue the whole time. this went on from about 3 in the morning to 9 until i personally fell asleep.

right now we are waiting for the mission files so they don't have to be recreated, which would take a long time.

we have the tools to rebuild the maps, and how to get it to work on a server, which is light years ahead of where we were a week ago.

thats what he said in the discord, obviously take it with a grain of salt, but he DID do this, so who knows

ARACHNOS CREW WHERE WE AT?

Leandro has, under death threat, release some of the code. But he is holding the majority of it back because he is "sleeping". Babby is most likely scheming and weighing his options. I dont know what is going to happen next but lets not forget that Destroyer Stroyer is a bro and deserves a legend for setting this all in motion.

'Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Destroyer Stroyer the Unstoppable? I thought not. It's not a story the Normies would tell you. It's a Yea Forums legend. Destroyer Stroyer was a Beard Lord of the Neck, so powerful and so wise he could use Wizardry to influence the memes to create potential new communities... He had such a knowledge of Wizadry that he could even keep the franchises he cared about from dying. The Neck side of the Beard is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his community, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he blew the whistle on everything he knew, then his admin banned him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from destruction, but not himself.'

And all that. Seriously, very few men have the strength of heart to remember honor in their calculations.

I can't believe it was actually released, I was 100% sure that either NCSoft would take everything down or Leo would delete all of it out of spite.

Pardon my brainletness, but I'd assume, then, that the game files would be available through whoever would be hosting the private server.

We APPARENTLY have the tools, that's not a confirmation.

In the discord last night he sounded incredibly stressed and agitated. I'd certainly believe that he hasn't been sleeping these last few days, especially because apparently people have been calling his house to demand he release the code. The guy is still a tremendous bastard, but IF he is to be believed we could get the rest of the data before the end of the week.

Whatever we have, download it and put it on an offline storage device.

If NCsoft tries to pull some shit we need copies so we can rebuild off of the source we have, even if it's only a fragment of the whole.

Not a chance. Expect 6 more years at the very least.

>can i expect to.play tonight after work?
probably not, expect working servers up by this time next week
probably a month before we get more permanent solutions

I think whoever is threatening him needs to make it known everyone will stop if he just releases all of the code and quits holding out. The more he resists the harder this is going to get.

He will be rembered as a Legend. A legend Based and beardpilled

So wait, is this playable? If so, how? I don't care if the actual game isn't functionable yet, I just want to make characters

Think so? I worry.

no, someone with more trust than you saying they have the tools is infinitely more believable than a random anonymous poster saying that they don't. sorry to break it to you.

cringe, i want to say we have fallen far but Yea Forums has been loaded with mega autists since birth. the only difference being this new wave of kids think they have any cred because someone in the past did something and you just so happen to browse the same website as them.

The other chan had apperently pics of his house, dog and lisece plate. Someone probably told him that the crazy 8 are close to him.

you can do that right now with paragon chat

You can make characters through Paragon Chat, but the game won't be fully functional for while yet.

If you play Paragon Chat you can just make characters and do nothing in Atlas Park with other people. As for a full functioning server we've made alot of headway, but its going to be a while before anything substantial comes out.

How'd you get the code, did that Leandro person give in to demands and put it out?

If he's gone this far and gotten so many people's hopes up that much, JUST to screw everyone over again, then the next pictures getting taken outside of his house are going to make fucking narcos rekt videos hit look like happy tree friends. Favela apes dont fuck around.

>tfw no full whip melee/blast powerset

Could I play as Spiderman? Theoretically? Or Spider-Sentai from the jap show?

Reminder that if that mega link is legit, it is your civic duty to download it, backup it, and re-host it.

Thank all you bros for keeping us updated and sticking with it, look forward to seeing you all in game when we get a server. Does the version they had a private server of contain CoH, CoV, and going rogue?

Can someone give a retarded zoomer like me the break down of what exactly is going on?

Attached: download (3).jpg (197x256, 7K)

I'm starting to think he may have a reasonable explaination as to why he hid everything for so long and its not money.
I wonder what it could be.. If he does..

Near as I can tell, from what's been released today it seems like even if nothing else is released at all, SEGS now has the tools to pretty much re-create the game. It's like they've been trying to translate a dead language and just had a dictionary dropped in their lap. Even IF Leandro doesn't release anything else this is still a HUGE step in the right direction. If he DOES release the rest, then we could probably expect servers as soon as someone's willing to host one.

>began to really give us the down and dirty on how everything works and what has been the issue the whole time
Nigga the only "issue" here was his inherent greed and desire to become the most powerful being in the community.

The source code doesn’t have any mission or npc parameters , Leo is the only one who has it and he won’t release it

One dude in the discord says that he has one running but it keeps on crashing randomply during the character creation.

Looks like my ex

make a torrent for the source code

docs.google.com/document/d/1hzwH2k4nxCpet1cZUxMOkHHpmCrM3IY6-IZGqWxue3c/edit#

hope this helps

Supposedly he's been strung along for years by some british guy claiming to own a dev studio that's trying to buy the City of Heroes licence, telling him not to release because a real revival is coming. But now because of the drama he's had enough and decided to release anyway. That's IF you believe his side of the story, mind you.

Bad man keep game from we. We smash him. He give game. Happy now. We go home.

He's not sleeping, the faggot is just trying to get away from all this still and is either moving all the shit he has to a hidden safe location or he'll come back claiming "I don't have this other stuff and I never did so tough shit" while he goes back to opening a new secret server and doing the same song and dance he's been doing for the past 7 years.
Do not trust Argentinians

technically, there is, the only way one can use a sourcecode for public works like sourcepoirts and the like, is if the owner of the source, NCSoft in this case, agrees with it, as long as the playdata its acquired otherwise.

NCSoft NEVER approved this, and since the key gameplay data is not available, this is 100% illegal, a lot of people can go down, not only leandro.

namely: everyone here.

Unga. Statescaveman? More like Captain Stupid.
Lord Big Spider is better magic person.

Ok! Since you wanna play autism shill here is my meme magic.

Leandro is secretly a supervillain from the CoH/CoV univeree who escaped the collapse of the servers and did all this bullshit to spite his old world. He was Sasuke edgy and selfish and probably molested little kiddos and the head of all the badguys, I know there WAS one but not his name, was so disgusted at him and his dickery that he banished him to thunderous approval. So he plotted and used his literal super-autism to escape to the real world. Thats why the original devs arent confirming or denying anything. Because nothing happened on their end.

Happy shill? I revealed the truth!

I'll believe it when he releases the missions, maps, NPCs, etc.

No, we should be happy, we did it, and leo is a good person he'll keep his word

An old beloved MMO got shut down and there has been a private server ever since, but was invite only for some arengtinan and his super sekrit klub friends, with websites that were "Working on a private server" and taking donations secretly funneling money into the secret club server. This all gets leaked, internet loses their shit and threatens everyone involved, they eventually crack and a public hosted server is possibly coming soon.

I'm guessing the full source is massive, especially if its including player data.

still worth a lot more than an anonymous poster outright claiming it's fake and that there is no proof. i think you're forgetting these segs guys have been doing some coding themselves, i'm sure they know what they're looking at even if it is not fully clear to them.

i'm pretty sure he posted an email from that fartburger nerd in the discord. he definitely was trying to stifle him.

Is there a class with literal autism as a superpower?

I think they get support and debuff powers, not damage-dealing stuff.

thats what you call covering your asses

This, alongside having to run through the code and remove any information that may implicate the original leaker, because that would risk not only his career, but also quite possibly his freedom because he straight up stole a FUCKLOAD of assets for this, and never actually doing so because of all of the prior shit with getting the server managed and the britfag stringing him along, and players he knew fucking dying and having to live with them not being able to play, and his thyroid, and the sun being in his eyes, etc etc etc.

Super Strength/Invulnerability because true retards don't know their own strength and have no pain reaction.

"time to cover our asses"

Once we actually have everything I slapped together something that can work for what is suggesting. First some theme music youtube.com/watch?v=-ELFxB-tGhE

>It was at this site on the 15th of April in the year 2019 that Destroyer Stroyer, knowing full well his chances of success were slim and he would be banned regardless, made the ultimate sacrifice for the good of the City of Heroes and City of Villains community. In blowing the whistle Stroyer revealed the existence of intact server data that had been used by an Argentine named Leandro for years for the operation of a private server 3,000 users strong, while simultaneously accepting donations, from the community he claimed to love, under the false pretense of trying to reverse engineer a working server. Leandro did this while using his influence and that of his 3,000 spineless yes men to sabotaged the community's attempts to revive their game. Through his act of bravery Destroyer Stroyer alerted countless user's who made it their mission to not rest until, through any means necessary, they made sure the server data was released. Then on the 18th of day of April in the year 2019 after a mere 3 days into the campaign against Leandro, Leandro surrendered the server data to the people, who then spread that data to every corner of the internet ensuring our city would never die.

>Let the name Destroyer Stroyer forever live in the annals of history as a true hero of the City of Heroes and City of villains community, and let the name of Leandro live in infamy as Villain the likes of whom is only equaled by the Korean head office of NCSoft.

>Remember those whose righteous actions saw the server data released, and those who did not live to see this day.

Remember to make a Mastermind character named leoandro

Is there a good site with all the character builds? Trying to remember all the different classes and think of what I want to play when we get a server.

Super Stength/Super Reflexes is true Spider-Man

Niceeeee!

Mastermind

I thought it was just support. I remember having MMs that had pain domination, force fields, storm calling and something else. You had powers in your MM primary that could attack like a whip for demons and dark blast for necromancy but it was pretty much all about your pets and then supporting them with buffs/defense/healing.

My demons/pain dom MM was my favorite character ever. Though my bots forcefield was also great.

that was because leo chose a random person who was in the voice chat to send the auth server to, he chose mario and instead of immediately objecting he kind of just bumbled like a retard and only started to freak out about possible implications after the download

Fuck yeah. Im gonna make the most mary sue autismo wizard spiderman. Then add Sentai features.

Everything was support, no real heavy hitters. Would have been nice since if you take aggro you're bound to die.

I only saw the email in text format and not an image. I'd also expect more than one in 7 years.

Apparently storm summoning secondary has some damage powers.

There might be others too. You can also always get those alternate power pools for more damage powers.

You're right, it wasn't just the money he was making from the private server he ran under everybody's noses. He also got to act like the big rat that makes all the rules and run a dictatorship on the entire City of Heroes/Villains community. He silenced anybody who stepped out of line and everybody associated with that individual got punished too. He even had his filthy hands elbow deep in nearly every single kickstarter project that promised either a new server or a spiritual successor to the game, using them as a front to fund himself.

Mark this down as another accomplishment of yours.

THE MEGA IS ALREADY DOWN, NCSOFT IS ON TO US AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

this board didn't do shit

Combat is completely different, character archetypes are completely different, there's way more customisation, way more content, and it doesn't suck

And all it took was just one based neckbeard to destroy the empire. He's our Luke.

It's fun

Argentinian death threats did all the work
based goblinos

Never trust guys named Leandro

It already sounds like a cunty name

This one is actually good.

Character creation and builds was unique and interesting, you could come up with some much crazy shit while still feeling balanced.
Combat is much slower than DCUO, feels more like an Active RPG than an action game.
Original plot line, many different ways to level.
You could create your own maps, your own stories as well.
A system where you could be a hero, a villain and anything in between.

an user showed up to leo's house with a gun, I think that counts

>something else
Trick Arrow. I had a Necro/TA MM and it was just terrible...the only decent arrow is EMP and was only really useful against something like Malta Titans

Yeah, it's well known that Leo's fanboys have been shilling on here and reddit ever since it broke.

The important thing is that it's out there now, and Leo's schizo cultists can't do anything to change that.

>Champions
Pay to win generic trash. Character creator isn't quite as good, but at least it's better than...

>DCUO
Very limited character creation. Also generic and boring as hell.

By generic, I mean it follows the modern MMO formula of going through instances and killing 1-3 enemies at a time. In CoX, by the endgame you were really a super hero, and regularly wiped out huge groups of enemies.

Between this and WoW Classic 2019 is shaping up to be the YEAR OF THE BOOMER.

For those who are more knowledgeable about this: We don't have maps or NPC data, but what about client-side copies? Is there anything that could be harvested from there? Leo has literally everything of course, and will be releasing the rest eventually and there's nothing the shills can do to stop it :^), but the more that can be done while keeping him far away, the better.

The rest of the data is supposedly coming very soon once it's been scrubbed of references and pointers to the original guy that leaked the code to Leandro. There's still hope, as he's already released part of it that he was certain is secure.

hell, CoX let you actively choose how difficult missions would be by letting you pick enemy levels and enemy group size

Fear the neckbeard.

Is there anything wrong with these games gameplay wise?

Also, I know CoX was before the gay end game grinding of WoW, or at least it was in philosophy, so what do you do in these games when you finished leveling?

So has there been any kind of explanation of why it took 7 years? Every one of his supports I talk to obviously have no technical knowledge. I donno shit about CoH's code, but I've worked on other server emulators before and I can't fathom what excuse 7 years would be?
I know in the end it'd be bullshit, but I'd still like to know what kind of roadmap or justification for why only now was his public server "weeks away"?

yes, they suck. CoX added in an actual endgame towards the end of its life.

>so what do you do in these games when you finished leveling
Costume contests in atlas park, launching low level mobs into the moon

the public server being weeks away was complete bullshit to cover his ass. His private server has been up and running for six years, he was just keeping it secret to run his own little dictatorship.

I hate that there are actually people like this who rate graphics the highest. Ill play a shitty 2d sprite game if the gameplay and world are top notch.

Didn't want to. Korean studio were embarassed that the American studio was doing their job better than they were. If you're going to shut down a profitable game out of spite, you're never going to put it back up.

Champion's gameplay isn't that bad exactly, it's faster paced that City and has more freeform character building if you shell out the shekels. There's just fuck-all to do since Cryptic never had much of an idea of what to do with the game and they've been on skeleton crew for like ten years.

Understand this people

It was on the final hour that we gave it our all, where our emotions flew as high as the tallest banner. As the sunrise dimmed and the last warmth of daylight waned, we pressed onward towards our twilight goal. Beyond the sunset of yesteryear, our heroes continued onward towards a seemingly endless darkness of the night, surrounded on all sides by the doubts and fears of those that once believed in their shared passion. Nevertheless, with the raging flame of our love to guide us, a goal was finally met and justice was, too, mette. We stand here today, not as heroes, but as eyes to the glory of yet one more sunrise. This same sun, that had shone upon our beautiful city many years ago, rises once more upon the faces of its joyful. Congratulations, for everything you have done and everything you have witnessed. Know that, regardless your action or word, you stand tantamount to the triumphs of those that came before you, and for that we shall exonerate the victories of the bravest amongst us all. Know that, however, so much more is yet to come as we fight tooth and nail for our tomorrow. Nothing is assured, yet also know that nothing is abandon, for as long as we dream, we still yet may the full fruition of our united efforts.

This concludes Task Force Cheetodust.

So why is it dead? They killed it to focus on those other games?

>so what do you do in these games when you finished leveling?
Anything you want. There are 14 classes in the game, 10 of those classes have 10-16 primary powersets to choose from and 8-14 secondary powersets depending on the class, and each powerset has 9 powers each. There's tons of endgame stuff, the game has a gear grind but instead of running the same fucking dungeon for weeks straight, you can fight anything that cons as a lvl 45+ mob and you have a chance to get an endgame drop. If you somehow don't want to do any of the endgame, you can even join lower level teams which will downscale you to the leader's level, so you don't melt mobs. If you also don't want to do that, you can make new characters of different classes and different powersets. The progress back up to max level has tons of branching paths. You could create 40 characters, level every single one up from lvl 1 to max level and you still wouldn't meet every quest giver and experience their storylines.

Was CoX the game where you can design your "Arch Nemesis" and he shows up during your story?

He didn't we still don't have all the code

>West insistence on long lasting mmos
Last I checked modern western MMOs are designed to attract whalepigs and would quickly get shut down if they get none.

They killed it because it humiliated their own games.

So once Leo drops the mission data we're golden right?. I kinda feel bad for him but at the same time 6 years was too much.

And Champion's endgame is mostly hanging around in a big job with other players for one of three bosses to spawn and then you dogpile it until it's dead and go on to the next one. Not very good but it's nice to see all the other player's supes

Nah, that was Champions. One of the few gimmicks they put in that actually was an improvement instead of step back compared to CoH.

LIke I said, I get that whatever the reason was would be utter bullshit. But what kind of bullshit was he feeding his little community, because some of those really drank up the koolaid and believed it.

More or less. CoX was turning a profit, even with a radically-diminished userbase. The dev team was like two weeks away from releasing a huge content update when they were shuttered. The korean studio didn't like that their american counterparts were doing better than they were, so they closed them down to focus on other projects, which more or less immediately tanked.

that game definitely had some good ideas with character creation but holy shit that action bar is such a hot mess. one of the best things about CoH was how nice and clear the powers were. you could tell everything about how they work just from the icon

Attached: beautiful.png (1026x334, 45K)

It was really community driven, most content was done with big groups, and the community would always organize costume competitions and stuff. The character creator was really great and basically any combo of powers could work, so you had very diverse characters. There wasn't much for endgame, though I think they added some later, but just hopping on and finding groups to grind with was super fun.

CoH's UI for the most part is pretty appealing. It was like Minimalist for the time.

Speaking of graphics, holy fuck I've missed these beautiful nostalgic PS3 textures. It feels so good to run around in paragon city in full Ultra graphics after years of playing on a fucking laptop.

Can I get a quick rundown on Peacebringer's and Warsahde's. Never tried them out on live, heard they we're kinda shit.

I never played CoH, but ive been here since the first thread.. just happened to visit Yea Forums for the first time in a while. Me, like many others, are gonna play the server that does all this stuff. So whatever server that goes public wont be able to handle all this traffic lol

After hitting 50 you could work towards your IO sets and work on the Incarnate System.
IO sets were player crafted enhancements where the recepies and components dropped randomly from mobs, missions, and task forces or could be traded for with merits for clearing content. IO Sets on their own were like slotting in 8 enhancements worth of SOs into 6 slots but also provided global boosts the more in a set you got.
Since merits were rewarded on an average mean time to complete for tasks almost any activity helped you towards IO Sets, from helping low level friends, doing older content, seasonal events or new end game content. Since eveything worked towards IO all content remained relevant.

The Incarnate system was a pure end game feature where you earned new Incarnate exp to unlock Incarnate slots, thread currency and components from end game content to build into a branching tree line of new powers.
The Incarnate slot did things like letting you break the ED limits with a single global enhancement slot, gave you a new AoE damaging attack that broke conventional targeting limits, combat summons, raid wide buffs and things like DoubleHit(Wiiiiiiiiindfurrrrrrry). If you were done with your Incarnate slots you could always work on a different branch since you could switch them when out of battle.

>muh MMOs are bad because im 3 IQ

Is CoH actually fun or is this just gonna be a nostalgia trip for anons who played it 10 years ago? I'm quite curious about the game.

it's going to be pretty incredible to play the game completely maxed out at 1080p with shadows on.

Addingo n to this, Endgame was less about 'power' progression and more about completing badges, clearing all the content, etc.

You could run low level content at high level so there was always something to 'do'. Especially if you were trying to finish all of your set-enhancements

Definitely this. Had just about every badge in the game save for a few Master Of ones. There's no real "I have this mount and you don't!" in CoX or "you don't have a high enough ilvl you cant come" its just "did you hit level 50? join on up"

Also the badges you can get you can select and they appear under your character's name which was pretty neat

What does the Spider class do? May make my afformentioned Spider-Sentai with it.

First thing you need to know is that by being one you have a chance to spawn a hunter enemy in missions that will FUCK your day up and just you, not other classes.

Generally, they're the shapeshifting class with a lot of options to specialize or be jack of all trades, master of none. Biggest limiter being is how many abilities you have, and not enough slots to deck them all out. They are similar classes but with some key differences in places. Both a Human form with access to ranged/melee abilities and defense auras/utility. The big thing that's unique about them is their forms. So at lvl 6 you got the damage form which is a Glass cannon flying squid that pumps ranged damage but you're squishy as fuck (squishiest in the game I believe). And a Tank form at lvl 20, which as I remember has pretty respectable stats, lackluster damage though compared to Brutes and Tankers. And a Hunter mob (I forget their exact name) will pound your ass.

Personally I liked Warshades I bit more, they had some cooler abilties, instead of Buildup they had spell that would siphon damage from mobs and gives you stacks of a damage buff. You could stack it with the clone of this ability which your tank form also had, and then shift into the damage form to start nuking. Peacebringer had a lot more direct damage and healing abilities as opposed to DoT's or life stealing and I think were a bit more fun to play if you wanted a pure human Kheldin.

>Would have been nice since if you take aggro you're bound to die

As an MM? That's what the Pets are for. They split the damage you take.

What he said. BUT
You gotta make a Villain to level 50 first to get the VEAT

They start as villains but the game had a morality system that let you switch back and forth. Might not make sense thematically for some archetypes but the restriction was lifted well before the game shut down.

Was fucking great to finally be able to play MM with my friends that only played heroes.

Yeah, but you have to go Rogue.

Is this the WoW killer?

LADS WHERE ARE WE GOING IN PARAGON CHAT

Ah. Thank you. How do classes work? Can you duel or have to stick with one?VEAT?

My memory might be hazy, but I remember there was a kinetic build with whatever the fire summoning class was that was absolutely fucking broken. I would make bank running the AA with that build, you could quite literally solo a bunch of max levels and powerlevel people.

It was pretty lively until i13. Lacked a real rating system though I believe, but I remember SG's organizing to do the SG Base battles. The PvP zones though is where I spent most of my time PvPing and had a lot of fun, you could fight with travel powers on like super speed and Super jump so it'd be fights taking place over all sorts of distances. (tagging someone slowed them down for a little bit)

This roof right here on champion server was known as the Fight Club building. People would just congregate here and agree to a cease fire and challenge each other to 1v1's in the open spots. But then someone would just start attacking random people, and it'd explode into a huge pvp battle.

Attached: screenshot_190417-04-33-35.jpg (1920x1057, 241K)

think it's just level 20 in i24

pvp was pretty awful and was unsupported. In the early days nobody knew what they were doing so it was kinda fun.

Then it was determined Ubsene stealth, super speed and powerful CC and single target damage was the way to go. I think it was mostly Blasters Ice/Energy and maybe some Psi/Psi dominators? Someone might know more.

Spider is one of the semi-complicated classes. From level 1-23 you're basically just the average Arachnos grunt soldier. You have an assault rifle, a bunch of different grenades and firing modes, a rifle butt melee attack or two and a bunch of buffs as a secondary. At lvl 24, you're given a free Respec and you're given to option to either continue down your "Soldier" branch, or split into the "Crab" or "Bane" spider branch.

Crab spiders get this sick Doc-Ock looking steel backpack but instead of tentacles, you have metal spider legs surgically grafted to your spine. You get a bunch of new attacks focused around your backpack, which is mostly ranged AoE damage and also a decent amount of debuffs. You also get enhanced versions of your Soldier tree's buffs for even higher defenses, and you can summon robotic spiders to help you fight.

Bane spiders are like assassins with a big fucking mace that drips poison. Bane spiders get a stealth power early on that makes you almost entirely invisible, but not completely. Attacking from stealth is a double damage crit, and if you go 8 seconds without attacking or being hit by an attack you'll go invisible again. Bane spiders focus on pure fuck-you melee DPS, and 1 or 2 ranged attacks.

No matter which tree you pick, you can still take powers from the Soldier tree.

Yeah sadly I switched off champion for Freedom also. A lot of the server populations came back in i20-i24 though. I remember playing right before the sunset announcement and 5 servers had heavy pop on peak hours with most of the other ones being medium.

We already discussed this. See

I don't give a fuck about Leo. But he is not forgiven until he drops the mission data.

Controller Fire Control/Kinetics was extremely popular solo. It was eventually nerfed a little but people still played it because it was actually a solo-able controller build for scrubs. Honestly, I hated that build because fire control wasn't very good at 'control' and kinetic was only used to buff the fire minions it got by shitty players.

When the game went F2P they made Masterminds and Controllers be 'pay' only which helped keep noobs from running these complex classes.

No forgiveness until EVERYTHING is released

Man, i had fun in the last 6 years... All fucking over now, thanks

That was from Champions. I remember making a Hank Hill themed Iron Man character and I made his nemesis "The Khanqueror"

Soldier who broke his conditioning and was horrified at the evil of the organization he served

basically Finn from Disney Wars

ALSO Wolf Spiders are very much tech-based, if you want to lean towards magic, Widow is the way to go.

I can't remember if the VEATs could change alignments after City of Rogues. I think they could, so technically you could become a heroic spider after level 20 (alignment switching missions didn't open up before then)

Happy for you lads, if you all manage to get public servers going and he doesn't back out, I'm excited to try this out.

>You now realize the YOU MUST ACTIVE ALL THE BEACONS joke in Champions Online was an internal office joke about CoH

The developers were well aware they were working with non-standard spaghetti code.

Also I don't know if this has been mentioned or not but don't expect Arena to work right away. In discord Leo said he never got Arena to work because the code was such a mess that he gave up. Wasn't worth the effort considering how dead CoH Arena was post i13. But someone could fix it someday.

VEAT's are Epic Archetypes. It was a bonus AT you could play after you reached max level.

Heroes get Warshades and Peacebringers which are pretty much Aliens inhabiting a human giving them superpowers

Villains get Arachnos Widows and Soldiers which could become Archonos Fortunatas or Night Widows and Soldiers could become Crab or Bane Spiders. Each with their own flavor. If you want to make a spiderman webslinging type guy. These aren't them.

Would love a vanilla CoH server before they added PvP and started nerfing the fuck out of everything

So will we have 2005 tier servers or is it just CoH pre death?

Widows were pretty boring. You were basically just a claw stalker but the claws are poisoned

These guys seem based. How do I take the spiderpill, and how do they play? Never played this.

I bought the game at release with a friend. I still remember the day 1 nerfs they put in. Made the game unplayable solo for a number of builds that just the day before worked fine. Fuck you Bill Roper.
Top 3 biggest purchase regrets (dayz and rust other two, turns out I hate mp survival games).

can't they send leo to guantanamo for releasing the code?

Widow it is. Not enough spider mages. Fuck. Maybe I was a kid hero and got mind raped by villains...

O shit. I could make Leandro the mind raper. Or not.

But Lore masters I have a question. Was pedophila ever mentioned in game at all? Did villains not give a shit or was it encouraged? Or just ignored because thats really fucking dark so the did a Big 2 and ignored the issue in universe?

You'd probably have to wait a while for that. This code right now is setup for i24 and that's what most people are going to focus on. The SEGS project is working off issue 0 though but, that's no pvp obviously. Could happen someday I guess.

Pretty simple. You came to your senses and ran off with your tech and want to try and make amends for helping further Arachnos' goals.

I had to come up with some bullshit in my head too for my demons MM to switch to a hero but the game world is loose enough that just about any explanation will work.

I won't forgive him, but I'll probably forget him once he releases the last bits of the code.

should be pre-death complete with freedom and going rogue

Does anyone remember the level 50 purple elites on that Island that you could lure into the city? I used to do that shit all the time and it would suck whenever they got oneshotted by those flying lazer things.
Oh and the Christmas event with the slide, fuck I want to play it again anons.

It's been so long that I don't remember, but when the game went F2P you could just do the tutorial and after you hit level 2, you could just pick "hero or villain". The problem is I think VEATs had to stay redside until they unlocked "Tip" missions for the alignment stuff, and I don't think that started until either lvl 10 or lvl 20. Once you're switched you're completely fine. You could also start as a villain, do 10 alignment missions to become a Rogue (5 missions per day), and you could both start Redside missions, and also go to Blueside and join other people's teams for their missions.

>Nerfing the fuck out of everything

It was honestly a good move. There were builds that were leagues beyond anything else to the point where some builds were literally never accepted into taskforces. It was shit.

Only certain powersets needed buffs by the end really. Sonic and Force field were unimaginative and really needed a rework, empathy was incredibly one dimensional by the end with shit like pain suppression, radiation emission and even time manipulation being just as good at healing.

pvp sucked though. Waste of time to put it in really since they knew it was impossible to balance.

Any pure melee spider specs?

Viable ones? If not a mage I wanna beat down villains with my bare hands.

Likely pre-death at first. The source code was supposedly leaked by the CoH dev team to Leo when the game got shut down. It even included some stuff for unreleased updates.

However, with the source code in hand now, people should be able to modify it however they see fit.

I think there were some restrictions for the midway alignments but I can't remember what they were.

It will be pre-death, plus it will have all of the issue 24 changes that never made it to the live servers, like instant snipes at 21% to-hit and above, and the ability to color/disable pool power effects.

youtube.com/watch?v=F2C9kqDkRRs found an old video of the build, man those imps were so cool. I also had a robot controller but it kinda sucked ass.

You wanted sentai, you got a Kamen Rider squad instead. (Thing that was supposed to be evil does a face turn)

I could never play anything but crab spider because of those sick legs.

except widows brought some big buff for the team on a click cooldown, unlike stalkers who were just the guys that sort of felt like a pity pick for most teams who let them in. They had a horrible reputation thanks to how often a stalker's player was just shitty.

I see Bio Armor on Paragon chat, I hope there's Bio armor in the game, that's what I'm hoping to roll first.

There's no bare handed stuff, but Bane Spiders fight with a mace and are completely viable if you skip out on the 2 or 3 ranged powers you're offered. There's also the Widow, who fights with poison tipped claws and stealth. One great thing about the Bane/Widows is that poison is the rarest damage type in the game alongside Psionic damage, so very few mobs are resistant to it.

>instant snipes at 21% to-hit and above

I think there was some level capped content that was restricted to hero or villain only but everything else was fair game. I think I remember it actually being pretty smart to be either rogue or vigilante while leveling so you had free access to the rogue isles AND paragon city. Could go anywhere and do almost anything and play with anyone until you hit level cap, then you had to generally pick one and go from there.

i13 changes sucked for pvp, but the only real thing we miss out on in i24 coh is the aggro cap and not being able to herd entire zones

I had a Bane Spider so I'll try to remember what they were like.

Bane Spiders are big bulky guys with a giant spikey mace that can go stealth and do a lot of damage.

Crab Spiders were soldiers with a giant spider backpack that shot out lasers.

Fortunatas were Psychic damagers and CCers

Night Widows were stealthy with psychic attacks

>big 2
eh?

Great stalkers pretty much spammed assassin strike when it was ready on bosses too. But they desperately needed a buff. Maybe turn Assassin Strike into an execute like ability where enemies below X% health get hit instantly by it or something.

A scrapper with super speed and another stealth source was arguably better in every way sadly :(

Widows sound cool. I hate maces anyway.

2007 budget with 2007 servers. If they could have a seperate server take the load off they would. It's cheaper to buy another enterprise level server than it is to buy a more powerful server.

I used to lure Giant Monsters into the Hami raid to be an asshat.

Marvel and DC. They are run/funded by pedos so they avoid the topic like the plague. Even Punisher only fights a handful of small isolated pedos.

This. Everyone should download it and secure it even if you have no idea how to make any of it work. It MUST be preserved by as many people as possible.

It worked for the LRM if you went Munitions Mastery as well.

Remember the time Marvel sued NCSoft over CoH?

I'm almost positive any time any comic writer needed an excuse to have a villain murder a henchmen for questionable reasons, child abuse is a regular cause.

Arachnos soldiers had the rare Bane Huntsman roleplaying spider who decided screw either upgrade route available to him, he'd just become the most skilled leader unit in the game.

As someone who has never played this game, how do the classes map to other mmos, like WoW; what's a priest equivalent?

I remember running a claw stalker with super speed and every passive dodge ability. I was in a group of with friends and we were running out of time in a bank robbery mission when an assassination sub objective finally popped up. Before anyone could say anything I went invisible ran past everything to the vip and one shot him and then ran the fuck away with out being touched by the shit loads of enemies he had for defense. Managed to pull out a handy win with that.

>tfw you will be a glowing squid soon

The "huntsman" soldier build was actually really good once you got it IO'd out properly. Easily on par with crabs/banes.

Stalkers were a PvP concept that didn't fully work in PvE

I had some fun times stalking people in the mid level PvP zones

Different era. Remember game came out in 2004, so development probably started 2002ish. CI was in its infancy and probably unheard of. Git wouldn't be released until 2005. SVN was only a few years old. AWS didn't come out until 2006, and "cloud" still typically meant the things outside.
I was only working on amateur projects at that time, but from what I recall, it was not uncommon to just give as large an encapsulated tasks to a programmer. Bob on chat, Omar on accounts, etc makes sense. Combine that with physical server allocation and the ability to shift individual server processes around as need required on those physical servers would fit with that line of thinking.

WHAT IS EVERYONE'S FAVORITE ZONE TO PATROL IN?

Mine's gotta be Perez Park. Huge diversity of factions and large mob density. Getting a team together and circling the border of the park killing skulls and hellions was great

Like Spiders, Widows also split into 2 trees. I'm going to skip the ranged tree because obviously you don't give a shit about that. So you start out like the regular widow enemy. You have generic claw swipes, stabs, and one ranged single target where you shoot a dart out, and one ranged AoE where you spray a flurry of darts out. Again, at lvl 24, you get to respec and split trees. The Night Widow tree makes you go from a Monk to an Assassin. You get tons of massive defense boosting powers, and most of those powers apply to your team as well. You get a stealth power, like bane you deal double damage from stealth. If you don't want to be stealthy you're completely fine skipping out on it. If you gear yourself well, you're basically unkillable.

Stalkers got a huge overhaul in either issue 21 or issue 23. They get 10% crit chance outside of hide (scrappers get 5% default) and for every player on your team, stalkers get another 3% per player, capping at 21% for a total of 31% crit chance. Your assassination attack was an instant cast but didn't do as stupid damage compared to if you had done it from stealth. Your regular attacks also have a chance to add a "stack" onto your assassination attack. Each Stack gave your assassination attack a 33% chance to crit, and when it caps at 3 stacks you have a 100% crit chance for double damage. Stalkers got a fucking unbelievably huge boost to their dps. Even with the changes, stealth assassinations do a 2.8x crit damage from Hide, compared to 2x when not hidden.

He deserves a punch in the teeth. He can have rest once he hands over everything, then he can languish in his fucking shame.

>Game was dead af right up until shut down.

This isn't true, the game didn't get shut down because no one was playing it. It had more players towards the end than it had in previous years. There was a dead time in CoH's history but it was around the years of 2008-9. Almost all the servers were low pop besides freedom and on some of them during dead hours I felt like the only one online. But not at the end. The Freedom update and all the content they added did wonders for the game, I remember during peak hours there being 5 servers on heavy pop and the rest on medium. The game was gaining players back and retaining them ontop of being micro transaction dollars. And the development was full speed, they were doing so many frequent content updates and the road map was really exciting with the things to come.

People try and push this narrative that it was a ghost town or something but that's not true, it just wasn't super popular outside of US servers. I vividly remember what the game population was like because I remember playing when they announced the shutdown and it completely blindsided the devs. They literally had no idea it was coming, they were still making long term content development plans.

Look at all these thots with cat ears. Glad to see the CoX community is still filled with ERP faggots.

Ostensibly he's going to release the rest of the code once it's scrubbed of personal identification data, so the original leaker can't be identified. Leandro's a scumbag, but if he gets some sleep he'll be able to get that done faster one he's refreshed. The faster it happens, the faster we can all go home.

Stealth and range arent bad. I just want to focus primary on up front. I was combat rogue back in the day. Can I focus on melee but have range, stealth for verstility sake?

Bloody Bay all day everyday, though had I not been such a shitter back in those days I probably would've preferred that free for all PvP zone where you went down into the bunkers to get nuke codes. Fun fact, pretty sure Todd just stole the idea for Fallout 76 from that.

"Blappers" who were blasters who went melee and did bullshit amounts of damage
"Offenders", defenders who actually did damage or even tanked sometimes
"Vengeance/Fallout" combo where you popped fallout then vengeance on a dead dude then revived him. Insane damage and the best buff in the game

There was so much to this game.

Funny enough, it turned out Marvel themselves were making many of the individual characters that they complained about.

the Pyschic Shockwave nerf still hurts my soul.

Exactly what it sounds like. This guy had the full source code since 2013, and has been hiding it from the community the whole time while he's been playing the full game AND MORE for the last 6 years on his private server. He also ran the biggest video game cult with an entire chart keeping track of every single player he invited to the server, color coding each and every person based on how often they played the game and linked those players to eachother based on their relationships. If one person in a tree tries to leak, he'll use his standing in the community to gaslight that person, while simultaneously banning him and everybody connected to him from the private server and every form of social media that still talks about CoH.

Capes BETTER still be locked to level 20

Some of the costume pieces required you to unlock them doing missions and taskforces, but the base stuff was quite a lot. Some of the later pieces that could only be unlocked were fucking fantastic, though.

Really enjoyed betraying their expectations by gently nudging enemies into a tight formation with Hurricane, and wormholing secondary groups into the main cluster.

Ninjas could melt single targets, the problem was they were all melee and got anally annihilated by groups.

Chippendale Dancer gay, as in literally pretty gay, as in the animations are quite feminine and the outfit you're stuck with from lvl 1-20 is a skin tight bodysuit with a visible bulge on males.

my personal theory is the controversy and a bunch of anons wanting to be part of a new "project chanology" thing.

I mean the game was good but the rabidness of it all is largely mob mentality.

Heck, I'm pretty sure if you stripped away Facebook, Reddit, and the other chan, even Yea Forums would be a lot more reasonable.

But, between three places notorious for being groupthink feedback looping echo chambers, you throw in Yea Forums's anger into things and... you get this.

Most the servers were dead if you weren't on Virtue or Freedumb and most the zones were ghost towns.
