and ahem * tink tink * fuck leo hes still a faggot
fuck off retard
Are you fucking joking?
ffxiv has generals on here 24/7
What's the closest powerset to a speedy fist-fighter or cannoneer?
cant have a general until the server's actually up. Let us have this one thing, the classicwow fags have threads up all the time.
NOT READY ;_;
>all the tokubros in these threads
Feels good man.
>can't make a titan account
>so I can't use Paragonchat to mess with character maker
AAAAAAAAAAAAH
USE TITAN ICON
Did something happen? Did Leo release the source code?
>STOP TALKING ABOUT VIDEOGAMES POST MORE WOJAKS REEEEEEEEEEE
I'm not ready yet
>long term, recurring
it's been like 3 days and there's new developments every hour. get bent retard

Street Justice. Martial Arts if you want kicks instead of punches.
UPDATE ON SERVER STATUS WHEN
Offline titan icon. Click it and get to work. Anything you save can be uploaded to any private server later.

You will never crush hope, monster! As long as humanity lives, hope will exist, as long as hope exists, heroes will rise to face you!
Better grit your teeth, I'm going all out from the start! I'll shake it all off!!
based robot hitler
I can't decide which one of my tokuheros to make first when servers go up
yes, and also the i25 binaries that the secret server was running on. it is habbening.
So how are they going to accept the throng of people who wanna play? Do we use our paragon chat login deets? Do we make new accounts? Do we have to email some pajeet? I’ve been makin shit in titan icon all day.
wew
this is going to be an astonishing shitshow in terms of server crashes
How soon is "soon"?
Not sure about this.
Is the client downloadable or do we have to wait on them?
I'll protect everyone's smiles!!
funny how I never see rulefags in twittershit or clickbait threads.
So what is acceptable as a powerset for MM? Are mercenaries any good, or are thugs just the best for everything?
I'm amazed a developer took a copy of the character database and gave it out to people.
POST YOUR HEROES! THE NEW 52 STARTS TODAY!
Can you respec in this game? downloaded the character designer and it's pretty overwhelming on how many abilities and class mixes there are.
We don't know. Probably they will take some time to test the server first.
hot
Where do we go to download this shit?
I wonder how many of you didn't install tequila because you didn't think this was exactly how it was going to work.
Also fun fact, this confirms they were logging in to their private server with tequila, just like that old leak on here said that also implicated Tony! Fun!
hours
yes, respecs are there. there were various methods in how you could get them but it's possible on the new servers it could be unlimited and on-demand
This rule is simply not upheld anymore, fuck off.
Yes, respec is in the game.
You can respec your powers you chose for your primary and secondary powerset, but you can't change powersets or archetypes.
download Tequila/Paragon Chat
Can I be a BBW heroine with huge tiddies, giant thighs, and massive ass with brap powers and face sits on short skinny twink boy heroes when off duty from crime fighting?
Plenty of chances to respec
Which is good, endgame builds end up pretty different from leveling
Damn I didn't think it'd be through tequila so I didn't dl it before
Wait for me, guys
Yeah, that's for games that don't have relevant news and their repeated discussion needs to be contained. This is the most significant vidya happening in recent years. Fuck off.
Time or Rad or Kin on a corruptor?
Figured as much, got Tequila yesterday once the source code started to leak. Knew there was going to be a correlation.
What the piss? How did they do it on old ass hardware 10+ years?
Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave. With a box of scraps.
Fuck these pajeets.
Wait....we actually get to fucking play it now? How did they force that faggot in to sharing the source code?
Come at me, heroes.
New player here, how do respecs work? I'd assume the Primary and Secondary power sets are locked after character creation, but what about the other pools, can you swap them if you don't like them by respeccing? Also, can someone explain what Origins do?
Yes but please don't do that
Tell me I'm pretty
Sure, you can RP however you want honey.
>This is the most significant vidya happening in recent years
mmofags actually believe this, Smash has fucking destroyed the internet, your little MMO is nothing
Leave Garou to me
We had to dox the faggot and scare him with Argentinian justice, while relentlessly bullying him online.
Power pools could be changed. Didn't like Flight and you wanted Super Speed instead. You could do that.
Quite possibly, yes. Maybe Radiation or wind with green color could count as brap material.
Just cram everyone on the server into the sewers
Why is he purple
Are ice powers good for a controller?
Is Yea Forums going hero or villain?
glad to hear he's doing it out of the goodness of his heart and for the community
Thank god, that lessens the chance I fuck up my characters. Wouldn't wanna lose the names I have prepared forever.
dude i think the trenchcoat would look better on your costume, unironically
Kill me I don’t have a costume and I deleted all my old CoH data
god i hope so
I'd fuck you
>a new character in Smash is more significant than a game thought dead and buried coming back
imagine being this delusional
Kin and Rad were always welcome on a team. Never played Time.
Found screenshots of my old hero, rate him. He is insect themed. Claws/Regeneration scrapper. Flight travel power.
looks like noir spiderman
Origins basically determine which artifact types your character equips and what your primary nemesis will be. Tech backgrounds fight Clockwork, Mutants fight Vahz, Magic fights Circle of Thorns, etc etc.
same here bruvva
BLASTER OR CONTROLLER? i want to do instances a lot
literally no one cares about smash.
and i do mean NO ONE.
Based.
FIghting the media, he truly is /ourguy/
Most of us are going to play this for a few days, remember why we quit in the first place, and forget about this shit.
The hype feels great though.
Ice is a good set. It has a great pet and excellent single target holds.
very arthur, i like him.
>Long term
It has been a few days, let it rest for now
Number two, I was using a buff and speaking of number two it kinda looks like he's taking a shit.
Cool, I'd fuck me too.
How do I play this
Oh shit, you're right, why have a thread about this when we could have a formulaic "IS HE IN?" or minecraft steve threads? Quick guys, stop enjoying yourselves and reviving a dead game, this board needs more room for shitposting.
Do these artifacts matter a lot or can I just choose whatever Origin I want for roleplaying purposes?
>Hero
How balanced was the game in PVE? Were most classes good? Or did some skillsets stand out more than others?
I'm tonr between having this guy match his teammates or have actual tiger colors. I think with the black stripes he looks more like a bad dude.
>quit
You are not our brother
Either really, Blaster for DPS and that sweet pleasure of deleting mobs in a single high powered shot OR Controller for debuffs/buffs, DOTs, and off heals.
I guess damage vs support is what I'm trying to say.
Even had art made of him.
i like to go into superhero games and make characters that look like a normal joe. just regular old jeans and t shirt, then stand around and make all the heavily costumed ridiculously over-SFX'd characters look stupid.
is there a scarf? in the editor
Me on the lower right
Someone redpill me on this game
That's pretty cool user
How do I download this game, lads?
Been itching to play again. I miss my invuln/super str tank with super speed and whirlwind. He was great.
Theyre all okay, almost any composition will work well. Just do what is fun, theres a ton of options
Statesman confirmed for smash
The capes have a scarf option, but it looks kinda meh.
If you do a lot of teaming, go with a controller. Holds are always useful. Blasters are just raw damage.
Watching while someone else sniffs your girls pussy?
>I'd assume the Primary and Secondary power sets are locked after character creation
Yes
>but what about the other pools, can you swap them if you don't like them by respeccing?
If you mean the power pools like leadership, super speed, fly etc, yes you get to repick those.
>Also, can someone explain what Origins do?
Basically nothing. It's the theme to help get immersed into your character. When you start the game you'll have basically no attacks, so you're given Brawl, a basic punch, and a weak power based on your Origin. It's so weak that it becomes useless at around lvl 8. Your origin also decides which enhancements you'll be getting and where you can buy them from. A Natural origin character will buy stuff from a store that looks like it sells tools, weapons etc. A Magic origin would shop at a dusty looking shop that might sell arcane artifacts.
Certain enhancements are slotted into certain Origin characters. Again, there's no good or bad origin. If you're a magic origin character and you defeat an enemy that drops a Natural origin, then that enhancement is useless to you and you can just sell it for some money. Early on you'll have DO (Dual Origin) Enhancements, which are slightly stronger than the shittiest enhancements. These can be both mutant/magic, or natural/mutant, or science/tech, and means that either origin character can use these. Then around 20+ you'll find SO (Single Origin) enhancements, which are much stronger. During late game, you have IO (Invention origin) which is when the crafting system becomes important.
This is HAPPENING grade event. Stick it
Wow, nice work user
Or just put a fixed cap on deployed instances and throw people in a queue if it's exceeded.
They all work well, the game is pretty easy (Though there are some HARD missions) it was less about balance with the powers and more about making them feel cool and customisation and stuff.
Anyone have a non-discord link to the NPC/mission code that was dropped? I have the source but now I need the rest that was missing.
Yes, you get it with capes.
Get tequila.
The game was designed around PVE. Each "class" has a role, but almost any team composition will work in a group. I guess you could say it's not very balanced in the regard, though.
WHAT IS TEQUILA AND WHERE DO I DOWNLOAD IT
I HAVE NEVER PLAYED CITY OF HEROES BUT I ALWAYS WANTED TO
What the fuck is a Tequila client and where do I download it?
Sounds fucking fantastic. Thanks user, this helps a lot.
The client or the drink? or both?
Origin really doesn't matter after like level 10. It really just determines where you get your starting missions from. Also each origin got a unique temp power. Wasn't really useful once you got more powers to play with.
google "city of heroes tequila"
Yes, they greatly enhance your powers. Say a basic upgrade you find is 10% more damage, a hybrid of your origin and another origin might be 15% more damage, and a solo origin might be 25% more damage. You'll only get those artifacts from fighting your origin nemesis or maybe hybrids if you're fighting a different origin nemesis.
Honestly the various missions you'll be doing will have you go against multiple types of enemies and you tend to get more quests specific to your origin anyway so it's not like the game is broken if you are a Mutant but tend to fight against robots. It's mainly just for roleplaying.
>what is a search engine
Origin also determines what villain groups you fight and contacts you'll get over the course of the game, although IIRC technically any character can get any contact and their missions.
I knew the EXACT second that this situation popped up that he'd release it, and you loser faggots would instantly switch up and lick his cock.
So I was initially waiting to create my hero until the game was live, but now I'm thinking I don't want to be stuck in the creator for an hour while everyone else is playing.
How do I make a hero now? Paragon Chat? Can it be exported so I can load it into the actual game?
Will whatever setup is used to play Paragon Chat allow me to connect to the proper game, or will I need to install another client for that?
Its time
Origins used to matter more in the early stages of the game. Later on in the games life cycle it mattered less, since this will be to its most recent patch it wont have much effect.
aight boys im ready
>thugs just the best for everything?
Most of the MM primaries are pretty balanced, ninja is the only one that trails a little behind
What are you talking about? Origin doesn't matter at all. Every origin can equip any IO and the regular enhancements of different origins are all the same strength
Read the thread, faggot. As long as we don't get our official private server, it won't move from Yea Forums
How do you do screenshots of the character builder? Every one I've tried taking just comes out as a black square.
Not me. Leandro is permanently on my hate until dead list. Could have been playing CoH years ago if not for him.
WHO /VILLAIN/ HERE
No villains bb
I'd swallow his cum too if that's what it took to play this fucking game again.
kang reporting
but werent they on his side?
Explained perfectly and also the origin determines who your point of contact is for the starting missions level 1 - 5
What kind of filesize is City of Heroes anyway?
nigger
Can someone explain enhancements?
Are they items?
Do they drop from mobs or do you buy them?
Do you attach them to abilities?
Can you swap them out?
Is it worth going for enhancements as soon as you can, or should you wait for end game?
nobody gives a shit about city of heroes
Why do you want to play this janky outdated ass game anyway?
For all the making fun of kusoge that goes here, it's kind of hilarious to see.
I figured.
time to purge

>threads every day by different anons

Regen or Reflexes for Street Justice Brute, lads?
I was putting too much thought in to it
If someone could refresh my memory that would be great. I stopped playing shortly before the game went free to play and during that time I was always told to never put more than three flight speed enhancements into flight. Extra slots would be wasted due to diminishing returns or more than three just not working. Is that true or was I being bullshitted?
My peacebringer, ready to save the city by going full squid
UCHU KITAAAAAAAA
REMINDER THAT THIS IS EXCITING, BUT THIS IS NOT PERMANENT YET. THE CHARACTERS YOU MAKE WHEN THIS SERVER GOES UP WILL BE DELETED, AND YOU PROBABLY WON'T EVEN GET TO PLAY. LOTS OF RETARDS THINKING THIS GOING UP ATM IS THE BE-ALL-END-ALL AND WE'RE ALL GOING TO PLAY FOREVER NOW
I hope this is a honeypot and you all get roped in and play for a week just to get banned
>want to play sneaky stealth character for dick ass rogue memes
>can only do it as villain
this is bullshit. batman sneaks and he aint a villain.
>different anons
lmao
a couple autists giving a shit are irrelevant anyways
banned from what exactly, a game that already doesn't exist?
I think I'm gonna make five guys who are all the same guy in different suit configurations like Liger Zero from Zoids or something. I just can't choose
Are there going to be servers up tonight
a chance to play is better than no chance to play ever
They're items you equip on your powers. They can be replaced and need to be around your level.
>Is it worth going for enhancements as soon as you can, or should you wait for end game?
You won't get the best ones until endgame so it doesn't matter. You can still equip/merge/remove as you will, there is no penalty for doing so, but you can't retrieve tem once they're removed from your powers as far as I remember.
reee stop having fun guys
Even if it is the source code is public now. Anyone with the know how can make a server.
Enhancements pretty much don't matter until level 12 when you get dual origin (DOs). Even then they aren't that powerful. At level 22 you can get single origin (SOs) which are twice as powerful as DOs. There's also invention origins (IOs) which are craftable enhancements with set bonuses. Basically the unique gear from other mmos. IOs are better than anything else in the game once you understand how to build with them. Every time you level up you either unlock a new power, or new slots for your powers. The slots are distributed between your powers and that's where the enhancements go.
The games version of gear. Since you can just customise your character to how you like and you can't equip stuff that changes your character's appearance, you just change it whenever through Icon, there was no need for gear. But there needs to be something that drops from enemies that alters your stats, so they made enhancements instead.
Just think of it as gear that doesn't change your appearance. Enemies drop, you sell or equip, get better enhancements, swap them out etc.
The more you level, the more enhancement slots you get too to equip enhancements.
...
>Are they items?
Yes you can hold 10 or 12 of them at a time in your enhancement inventory
>Do they drop from mobs or do you buy them?
Both. You get them as drops and Vendors also sell the basic single and dual origin ones. But they are expensive for the amount of money you earn while leveling.
>Do you attach them to abilities?
On certain level ups you slot your abilities then attach them yes.
>Can you swap them out?
Not without destroying them
>Is it worth going for enhancements as soon as you can, or should you wait for end game?
Yes buy the ones you can from shops, you have to be within like a certain amount of levels to use it. So upgrade like every 10 levels or so I'd say. You could upgrade every 5 levels from shops but you wont have the funds.
Also there's a whole crafting system for Inventive enhancements that have set bonuses.
They're upgrades for your powers. They come in all types, some decrease the time it takes for a skill to recharge, some decrease the amount of endurance your power uses up, increases hit chances, increases damage, enhances debuffs, etc.
Enemies drop them or you can buy them
Yes you attach them to ablities, as you level up you add slots to abilities so you can equip more enhancements.
Yes you can swap em out although I think the one you're swapping out is destroyed
Just let the enhancements roll in and buy some if they're too underlevel as I believe they become useless and no longer provide a buff. Late game you need Single Origin ehancements and end game you need invention dingles.
You can pick which morality you want to be at the end of the tutorial. Or you can make a Praetorian and choose at like level 20
TAKE ME DOWN TO PARAGON CITY
WHERE THE CHAT IS ERP AND THE GIRLS ARE KITTIES
AAAAAAAAAA I CAN'T FIND MIND COSTUME FILES
Why not just have the one guy and have a different suit in each of the five or six costume slots each character gets?
There are methods that villain classes can take to be heroes, you're not locked into any role friend.
Let me rephrase that. This is a huge step towards the game becoming playable. I can almost guarantee you that you will not be playing tonight. You may get to login if you're lucky, create a character if the gods are smiling upon you. If I'm wrong though jesus christ I'll shit myself
Enhancements drop from enemies or are rewards. There are stores that sell them. They cannot be swapped out without using a respec. Putting an enhancement in a slot that already has one will destroy the old enhancement.
You will use enhancements as you level. Enhancements degrade as you level up (except IOs). So you will have to replace them as time goes on.
Actually wait I forgot when you do a respec and you don't reslot a enhancement it goes back to your inventory, so you can use respecs to slot expensive enhancements out.
>mfw Yea Forums makes fun of WoW and FF14 but is hype for dusty capeshit simulator
fuck outta here
>batman sneaks and he aint a villain
He is a vigilante, technically.
You could always pick villain and then change alignments.
5 different styles of play I'd assume
Can you choose to be rogue from praetorian? I don't remember now
I remember in i22 or i23, they removed restrictions on classes for heroes and villains. So a hero can now be a mastermind etc.
You can swap costumes, and there are even ways to build macros or animations for fancy transformations, so you can swap between suits.
Can I have a quick rundown on the last couple of days?
Who's Platense? What happened to Leandro?
Because I can't switch power sets like that. Maybe I'll just roll a dice.
Makes sense actually.
>mfw
>we'll be right back

Not sure what you're trying to say here. You like the game?
Ice is absolute shit tier. Damage slightly above earth, but it's primary means of control is fucked with by everyone else with an AoE immobilize. It's more debuff than hard control

Who fuckin cares dawg we're closer than we've ever been in six goddamn years
It might take upwards of a few months to have a stable server running but everything going down right now is hugely important and I'm happy to be a part of whatever clusterfuck error machine this server ends up being
Enhancements are your gear in this game. From lvl 1-32, every time you level up to an odd number and talk to a trainer, you're given 2 slots to point into powers of your choice. From lvl 33-50 then it starts a 1-1-2 pattern. Level 33, you get 3 slots. Level 34, another 3 slots. Level 35, a new power. Level 36 and 37 are 3 slots, lvl 38 is a new power, etc.
These slots fit in enhancements which are percentage based stat boosts to that specific attack that you slotted it into. Stuff like Recharge Rate, Damage, Endurance Cost, Accuracy. They drop from mobs random and can also be bought, but enhancements bought from NPC shops are pretty fucking expensive when you first start the game. It's usually not worth buying enhancements until lvl 22 because that's when you get access to SOs.
Enhancements can also be combined to increase the level, so if you have 2 lvl 8 accuracy enhancements, you can combine them to make a lvl 8+, which has the stats of a single lvl 9 enhancement.
At endgame, you have Invention Origin enhancements. It's hard to explain.

Platense is Leandro under a different moniker. He came out just a day or so ago.
All of the necessary code to make a server has been released and one is being worked on now. Could be days, weeks, or months. But it IS happening now.
Platense is leandro and he's releasing the code.
Because modern WoW and ffxiv overall is shit. Yea Forums loves older WoW expansions and ffxi.
You had to do missions called tips and at the end of the tips they had moral choices and it effected a moral meter. Praetorians chose their alignment at the end of their tutorial, yeah.
The alignments went
>Hero
>Vigilante
>Rogue
>Villain
But I do distinctly remember the class restrictions being lifted so any alignment could be any class, cause I remember seeing MMs in Atlas Park and MMs used to be villain only.
>that feel you have like 2k hours in ff14 according to steam yet here you are installing Tequila patch shit
Guess I am a MMO fag.
nothing wrong with the customizable capeshit
>hero
Leandro didn't know that there was such a large following of people who wanted to play. Once he realized this, he released the source code. We are now waiting on someone to bring up a public server but it is taking a little while as these people lack Leandro's skills.
Sure can. After lvl 20 all Praetorians went to Paragon City or Rogue Isles (your choice). A few alignment missions and you can stay rogue as long as you want.
More like Yea Forums loves being nostalgic over outdated garbage.
Move on.
God damn it, Tequila keeps setting off my antivirus and I don't wanna have to disable it everytime I play.
wait is it actually playable now?
Haven't seen the news? He... is dead... now has reborn as a Bro Platense
Depends on what you're pairing it with. In general, I'd say Time
Sir, your nigga is looking a bit bleached today, did you leave him out in the sun?
I like him, always a big thumbs up to any traditional spandex looking heroes
I'm not creative enough for this shit. only got to play this a little back in the day, forgot how detailed the character creator is
CoH is miles better than both of those shit games
Calm the fuck down everyone will go to /vg/ once there is a playable server which is probably coming out today
Cause the games not up yet, so its not a general its just a discussion and speculation thread as different points of news appear.
When there's an actual private server, a general will be formed. Calm your tits in the mean time and just let people discuss whatever.
Of course. He looks a bit rough around the edges, but he's a nice guy.
>Leandro didn't know that there was such a large following of people who wanted to play.
Lmfao kys, Leandro

Whitelist it then?
dog knows what's up
You got a problem with him being a hero, pal?!
Both are the same download, tequila. You can create characters with titan icon from tequila.
I still find this hard to believe. He was on Reddit and the Paragon wiki. He had to know that people would love to play this game again. Instead he creates his super secret club house for him and friends.
>my antivirus
Reminds me of Senator Armstrong.
What Anti-virus? Can you add an exception?
you can't choose Rogue or Vigilante immediately, but you can dive in to the morality system as soon as you reach Primal Earth as a Praetorian
How's he looking, lads? Any suggestions?
based
so all i need to do is download tequila and wait for a server to open up?
Can you change your costume after character creation?
>it's been like 4 days
...and the /vg/ crying started 2 days ago at the latest. Don't pretend.
Let me guess. Katana/Super Reflexes?
>implying anyone here other than me is old enough to have played CoH and CoV
Nice try zoomers
It gets set off for like 5 different false positives so everytime I whitelist it, it just pops up again with a different problem.
Kaspersky
so what do you do in this game besides making your super hero?
What do you think, bros?
>where to download the client
paragonwiki.com

dunno. soon.

what the fuck
Never played it back in the day but im glad i get the chance now.
Yes, there are tailors in a lot of cities where you can change whatever you want.
Great, now I want to create Haydee.
how do you change flight pose?
thanks i hate it
Awesome guys, thanks for the info.
When two enhancements are combined, does the level cap for their usefulness get extended? Or does a level 8+ stop being useful the same time as a level 8?
>antivirus
There's your problem, mate.
I really, really, really like this image.
Katana/Ninjitsu Stalker. Weapon mastery for Shurikens.
Yeah, you get a dozen costume slots you can swap through freely.
That's weird, it seems he's a fan from Platense from Buenos Aires but he lives in La Plata
In any case, thanks for the rundown
Its not that hard to believe really. The server was kept a secret due to the legal grey area it operated in. Anyone who actually sought it out was invited to play on it. Shitters, niggers, and mmo tourists were kept in the dark.
Welp, not worth going to Praetoria then.
>didn't know that there was such a large following of people who wanted to play
>game had tens of thousands of players when it was suddenly shut down
>durr I wonder if any of those guys wish they could have played more
>wanting to be a hero
What about City of Villains? Do we have that code?
It was a better game
Yes and you can have multiple costumes you can switch between (with animations like a Shazam style lightning strike etc.). I think its 8, or 10. But costume slots are unlockable, you only start with 2 I think.
This game gets better with every question that I ask.
>Ahaha is the Brouzoufs meme guy
Hey, cool char!
we have all of it in one
Do it
THIS IS AWESOME!!!!
City of Heroes and Villains got merged together
Nigga I'm 26 and I played City of Heroes/Villains back when they were separate games
Supposedly someone has already fucked with the code enough to get the beginnings of a server running on a single machine, something Leandro couldn't even manage in six years.
So what all is needed to start? I have Tequila but how do i get the info for the private server?
they're all in one game, they were never separate.
Kiss my ass. Played since launch. All the way to shutdown. I had a 50 of each AT and was working on a Staff scrapper when NCSoft pulled the plug.
The fact that you post this dumb shit makes me know your opinion on the game is worthless. And I don't even mean you liking villain side better.
Was rocking elec^3 blaster from early 05 on to the very end. Not the most high-profile power sets, but I made them work.
It got merged together in like 2008
Doesn't matter so long as the code is released
>When two enhancements are combined, does the level cap for their usefulness get extended? Or does a level 8+ stop being useful the same time as a level 8?
I don't remember the level range for enhancements, but they stop working if you leave their level range, and combining increases their level.
They were the same game.
Do I only need the Tequila client or do I also need Paragon Chat?
Why did they drop this game in the first place? Was it unpopular and its just some loud faggots screaming about it here or something else? You would think if it was played by many they wouldn't drop it
It's your, save it.
hey thanks for the suggestion man. i'll definitely be using the trenchcoat off and on. i think this will be his default look though
Paragon Chat comes with Tequilla
I played shortly after launch and even got to play during the pre order event where the villians got to fight the developers and their heroes at the end of the closed beta.
/flight#, I think. There were four poses if I remember.
You can also macro your costume changes so you get fancy poses and effects when you change costumes, I think you can also macro speech bubbles so you can call out shit for specific costumes
you'll need to make an account on a separate website that's being built now, then you'll access the server from Tequila once it goes live
i'll be generous and ask why, instead of calling you an absolute retard. now user, please tell us why you think dusty capeshit from the early 00s is better than FF14.
he's setting up a website right now that you'll have to register on to get an account, then you can switch to the SCORE entry from tequila
there is no clinet to download anywhere
*laughs in DMC
>tfw still not sure which power sets I wanna take for my Kamen Rider 1-go
AHHH I can't work under pressure.
>being a nigger
This, ladies and gentlemen, is why Leandro kept the server a secret.
NCsoft was going in a different direction, noticing that the Asian market was more marketable. After releasing a Korean version of the game which flopped, the shut down the game in general. They shut down a lot of their western market only games in that same year too.
Should i wait for the official private server or try to do my character if i never played the game?
It wasn't dropped because people weren't playing it. Some retarded nigger yesterday was trying to tell me it was dead at the end, but it wasn't and he's still a shit eating nigger and if you're reading this you're still wrong and need to get your memory checked you faggot.
it was extremely popular, just not in korea. NCSoft is famous for killing anything that isn't popular in their main territory, even if it's bringing it big bucks elsewhere.
Because I fucked your mom
Thank you bro
They we're back when CoV first came out, it was basically it's own MMO and then they merged the two games together
Better decide quick I want every man hungry for justice to be teamed up and rampaging on the server
How do I create a XMPP Account?
There's several different stories circulating but they all have one thing in common. CoH/CoV was still making a profit when it was canned and NCSoft has as much a habit for killing off games as EA does for killing off companies they buy.
>abs
You've got my approval.
They were always merged. The whole expansalone thing was just marketing.
Tequila is just a downloader/setup/launcher that downloads Titan Icon, Paragon Chat, and the City of Heroes client and sets them up so you can use Titan Icon and Paragon Chat, and then you'll also have the game client files for when the private server opens.
Oh and after releasing a bunch of korean MMOs that didn't do as well as they hoped, that fled back to the western market.
Right now you can make a character on Paragon chat that you can save and load up into the official server whenever it actually happens.
It was dead as fuck towards the end. NCsoft was pumping a fuck tonne of money (relatively speaking as far as MMOs went back then) with huge content updates to win people back but it wasn't working so they had to pull the plug. It was an all or nothing gamble and they came up with nothing.
Did they gut Fire/kin controller? And if not how do you actually build one?
Must watch for Blasters for the Issue 24 buffs they were getting.
youtube.com
I would recommend doing Praetoria at some point. Missions are much more organic then the Paragon/Rogue Isles. Lots of choices.
I have two boxes from when they were separate
Their level cap usefulness does get extended, yes. So a lvl 8+ is a level 9, which doesn't expire until you're level 13.
this gives me hope that somewhere out there is a little 4 person firefall server out there running completely under the radar and completely oblivious to its demand
Martial Arts is pretty good, the last power you get is pretty much a rider kick, street justice if you want more brawler like tussling
RIP Wildstar, maybe you'll get your private server in 7 years time too.
>have source files
>still no 4k texture patch
What a shit community lmao
As I recall, each + increases the level by one, you can have two or three +, and they cease functioning completely when you exceed them by 5 or more levels. The color of the number is an indicator; if it's yellow, let it mellow, if it's red, it's dead.
Am I kawaii?
It was a stand alone expansion, you still logged into the same account and created characters on the same server. A better comparison is that it became a two faction MMO with locked zones for each faction. And at launch they had pvp zones where players of both games could meet and pvp and heroes could bitch endlessly about stalkers being OP and bullshit.
I get what you're saying but I wouldn't call it a different game that was merged.
don't forget, NCsoft was moving towards mobile gaming, which is easier to make and has a lot more whales.
i thought leo was never gonna release it
You need a Titan Network forum account
Can someone link me the Hero Creator? I think I found it but want to be sure I'm not getting aids.
Just blame Guild Wars 2
Praetoria had its own sort of morality resistance and loyalist with two subfactions in each. The content there was made later in the game and was better than most of what you'd be doing in the city anyway
Afaik it had pretty good numbers at the time being, but urban legends say there was korean internal squabbles involved in the closure.
I found ONE (1) screenshot of one of my old villains and that's it, no costume files. Fuck me
Hell yeah friend
tequila launcher on the forum is legit
They were always one game. You just had to pay for each to have access to both. There were always shared PvP zones since CoV launch
CoX was not dead. Why do you think there was such an outrage, or why the shutdown was so unexpected?

kek
Didn't the devs kill it with their nerfs or something? I can't remember clearly but there was some kind of drama with it.
Never underestimate the power of Internet hate.
All anyone needs to know about NCSoft can be learned by looking at the Tabula Rasa incident. The creator of said game got to go into space and while he was there, NCSoft shut Tabula Rasa down, fired him, but then FORGED HIS SIGNATURE on a document saying he quit on his own, willingly, all so they wouldn't have to compensate him or give him stock options.
NCSoft lost that battle in court.
YOU DON'T NEED A TITAN FORUM ACCOUNT TO GET INTO THE CHARACTER CREATOR.
Just hit settings and check offline mode
That can't possibly feel good in any way possible
Think that's the one I found, the TitanNetwork post from good old Leandro?
Download tequila and open icon from there
>the last power you get is pretty much a rider kick
Oh shit, I was thinking I'd have to get leaping to get Jump Kick for that. So either Martial Arts or Street Justice as primary, but what would be good as secondary? I was thinking Super Reflexes, but it seems kinda meh.
Registration not working, and now they're saying you don't need one.
What the fuck is going on.
Ok
Wheres Smash?
NCSoft releases quarterly earnings reports multiple times a year. They show CoH was still earning a profit and they admitted as much.
>Tabula Rasa
>CoH
>Wildstar
Why would you trust your MMO with NCsoft?
yes surprisingly he wasnt retarded and that shit actually works. on it rn
>young me
>made a bunch of robot and cyborg dudes
>adult me
>making a qt brown, white haired elf with an athletic body
what changed
Last word was that they fixed the compability issue with i25 so it should work with paragon chat.
that's the point
>Seething this hard because people aren't talking about babby's first fighting game
Yeah, okay kid. Don't you have some peach figures to hotglue or something?
my hero is lame as fuck and i dont care
Based.
AHEM
TINK TINK
I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE
Is there a link to just the client instead of all this tequila/titan/paragon chat nonsense?
yeah mark kern went crazy as soon as the game left closed beta
he single handedly killed the game with multiple rapid fire reworks of every system in the game
the chinks saw it wasn't pulling money thanks to this and took servers offline
Registration is for Paragon Chat, not the server or Icon
I like your backstory
You need a titan network forum account to paragon chat, which isn't going to be the private server. The private server is going to use the tequila launcher.
Reminder, Champions online is still alive, and does not have oven mitts
You know you don't have to dodge copyright to avoid getting generic'd anymore? You could just make the real one.
>Wildstar
Bleed money and players yet was kept alive for way longer. Compare CoH earnings with Wildstart around the time both got shit canned.
Yes I am still mad.
>tfw no one remembers Auto Assault
Thanks anons
Boomers will get the reference, user
>Wildstar
RIP.
Despite what other anons always said, I had a little fun with it before it went down.
If the game was shut down how are there YT videos from like some months ago with people playing it?
You became a faggot. You can fix it by making a bunch of robot and cyborg girls instead.
Not that I could find. Hopefully once a server get going, we get a separate link for just the client.
So is this like a not shit version of that DC mmo? I liked the concept of creating my own hero with a bunch of powers to choose from but that game was ass. Are the powers interesting?
You took the elf pill.
If you call that shit being "alive".
Champions had 6 fucking years over CoH. Six fucking years.
CoH has more gameplay content than Champions. Let that sink in.
There's videos of people playing it days ago. You're behind on this whole thing, aren't you?
There isn't much you can do when you're a publicly traded company and NCSoft buys you. CoH though began under Cryptic Studios which was eventually bought by Atari. CoH was sold to NCsoft to be run by their western division and Cryptic went on to make Champions Online.
In time CoH split away from the mainline NCSoft West and got its own studio dedicated to CoH entirely called Paragon Studios. Things were going great for a number of years until the devs came to work one day and found out they were being laid off, the studio closed, and the game shut down. I don't know if this was before or after NCSoft had the majority of its shares bought by Nexon.
The studio's total annual operating cost was 4 million USD. They grossed 12 million in revenue annually. NCSoft paid $8 million USD to buy CoH. They wanted $80 million USD to sell it.
From MMORPG.com
Are you under a rock?
How did you get the thighs and abs details so good, is it because of settings?
Champions is for furries.
I remember and miss that game so damn much. Did that ever end up getting private servers? I assume not.
of course, but the copyright dodging was always part of the fun for me.
Its legit fueled by furries. Its why they don't release any superhero costume pieces anymore and just release furry shit.
Fucking based
CoH is far superior to DCOnline in the powers department. Much larger selection.
Hope she doesn't steal the source code
I just wanna know the filesize, which I don't get using tequila. I'm curious about these kinds of things.
>Playing maintenance mode MMOs
>find RO screenshots
>find Tibia screenshots
>find GW screenshots
>no CoH screenshots to recreate my character
I laughed out loud at this stupid fucking name. Thanks user
Never understood that 80 million number. There is no way the game was worth that much.
Where on the planet might this woman be located?
Koreans are the jews of asia
I think they were just being assholes and didn't want the game to be sold.
Upper Body, Tight, then for Chest pick Bodysuit Muscles Gloss or Bodysuit Muscled Matte (I personally like gloss).
Anything for an ab bro. Now go, make all the abs you desire.
Why in Paragon City silly
Will they be open sourcing the server code? I'm not playing otherwise because spoopy south americans gonna fuck my shit up. also there's no way in hell some south americans are gonna put together enough server architecture to deal with all you nerds at once. coh gonna stay dead for sure.
To some people it might be but that's not the point. They purposely gave a ridiculous number because the gooks have no intention of selling it. Never did, never will.
You would have to run the game for 9 years (!) to make back your investment. Fuck those gooks.
That's what she wants you to think
>go into paragon chat character creator
>remember that you used this specific costume part for your character
>think you can recreate it from memory
>but you also used this part
>and also this one
>and also that one
>wait didn't you have like eight different costumes
fuuuuuuck
Why not say that then? " We have no intention to sell the product at this or any other time." Its not that hard.
Is the reason the tequila download taking six years because it's hosted on a bunch of dropbox accounts with limited bandwidth? This is slowwwwwww
how do you get your local text to change? it doesnt seem to apply
Eventually yeah. The server code is currently public because its been scrubbed. The DBs aren't yet public. Unless you're a coder you won't know what to do with the code though
Bring on the slut costumes
because someone might actually buy it
Probably. More poeple are downloading it now due to what is happening. Glad I did the download yesterday when the code started to show up.
Megamilf!
Link for tequila please.
Is there a power set that lets me control bugs?
Bow down before the almighty that is Baphomech!
Just in case someone took the bait and bought it for 80 millions since they closed it around the time the MCU was getting big, so they tried to capitalise. (Perfect time to close your superhero MMO right? When superhero media is at an all time high and you'll get more customers)
Just need to think of a name and then I'll be ready.
God save the Hive Queen!
Been a half hour and I'm about 1/5 through the download. Oh well.
There is no one and I mean no one who would pay that amount. There are literally only a handful of companies with that amount of cash (EA, ubiSoft, Bethseda). They won't spend it on a game launched in 2004.
Now we're fucking talking
I like to imagine the great server robbery happened like something from mission impossible movies.
Mastermind nature powers
paragonwiki.com
The most hilarious trivia from this is that the Avengers crazy hit Korea hard around the same time they shut down the game.
They tried only once for the game to be a hit in Korea by the way.
Beast Mastery has an attack that shoots bees at enemies
The only perfect slut costume is locked behind a level 50 VEAT
WHERE'S THE PRIVATE SERVER
Yeah well I wouldn't be asking about it otherwise would I? I'm really more interested in hosting my own server though since I 100% know this one is gonna suck.
>doesn't glow in the dark
Hell yeah
it unlocks at level 20 on I24.
he does in combat mode
why not use torrents?
in progress
EXteel was my jam
>His fire rises
i always wanted to play it, but it was another victim of NCsoft's poor judgement
RIP
Oh shit I forgot that
Carry on then.
I never played it but I remember it. Around the time I was playing CoH for the first time I spent a lot of time watching the trailers for all of NCSofts other games.
Is this for real? You better not be fucking with me OP I swear to God. A shame all the pictures of my heroes are on a different computer.
So many games killed by NCSoft. Anyone remember Dungeon Runners?
it's real, and it's happening.
It's real, user. Monumental moment right now, since we're now testing the initial startup of the private server. It will be temporary, certainly, but this is proof of concept.
Please don't call my girl a slut, she doesn't get to choose her transformation costume
i like how its basically a straight plane from tits to knees.
IT'S 5AM BUT I WANNA SEE THE FIRST TEST FLIGHT
no polys to spare
does anyone still have the photo of the guy saying "five months after i retire!"
>YOU'LL NEVER SEE IT COMIN!
How do I save my character once they're made?
So I download this Tequila thing and then what
how make character
how/when play game
>he fell for it
ohnono
Its a shame as Paragon was really getting into the groove update wise and to quote Avengers, they were in the endgame. If you read their Q&A's which I'll link in a bit, their plans were up to Issue 28 and they were about to release issue 24.
The plan was to essentially break up the Freedom Phalanx and Arachnos. So the main hero and villain group. They'd already started doing that by killing off Statesman and "killing" Sister Psyche. The other plan was to have Manticore leave the group and turn into a dark vigilante, and have two Arachnos members redeem themselves into heroes. So a lot of switcheroos.
Then the Battallion would arrive, an alien empire that amalgamates and enslaves other races, and was hinted towards since the very beginning of the game, various villains would have revealed themselves as sleeper agents for the Battallion (such as Lady Grey) and they'd invade, starting with The Moon.
There'd then be a new zone on the moon with the hub being a moonbase and fights on the moon and shit. There'd also be player ran moonbases (their attempt at rebooting SG bases with their own less messed up code)
Anyways, the Battallion would be whooping all the heroes, as there's no Freedom Phalanx or Arachnos, wanting to save himself and seeing that nobody had any hope and that they needed a symbol, Tyrant would don the Mantle of Statesman for the fight.
The tide would begin to turn and Statesman would reveal himself as Tyrant, revealing that everyone had this power within them anyways, and they didn't need Statesman to win, the tide would turn and there'd be a big fight on Earth and The Moon and in Space.
Earth would win and the Battallion would be destroyed at the cost of a mass depowering, this would lead into CoH2.
Launch titan icon you dingus
Read #update if you're in the discord.
Despite having quite some experience with mmos, I never played CoH.
Is it good? How does it compare to the best mmo ever, Ragnarok Online?
I personally am picking either invulnerability or will power
There's a save button on the character customization screen
except in the case of new leagues, content, announcements. When new information is presented it will stay in Yea Forums. That is why shit like ffxiv and guild wars 2 get threads whenever a new expansion comes out. in the case of ffxiv they are overzealous of this and do on occasion do need to be pruned or moved to /vg/
So was Leo the hero after all?
Autism is my superpower.
that guy is aiming to set up a huge server running off like 50 computers, stuff like that takes time
CoH2 starts as CoH began, years in the aftermath of a huge battle of heroes defending Earth from aliens, where a ton of legendary heroes died and a new Freedom Phalanx being formed. With the world (as the game would expand beyond the city) in need of new heroes, thats where you come in. Either as a new hero or your previous hero, who was caught in the depowering, which explains why they're level 1 again. Then the next plan was apparently a group called The Dimensionless, then The True Rikti, the original race who transformed the Rikti that the game knew.

At gunpoint, maybe.

ragnarok sucked
>two Arachnos members redeem themselves into heroes.
Let's start speculating. Who was going to redeem themselves?
why isn't sneed yellow
he is, it's just the lighting
I know a stable experience is still a long way off but holy shit bros... I honestly thought we'd never see the day it was even possible. It's all turned around so fast.
Is a server up yet?Shazam was a fun movie
He's a villain trying to damage control after its all backfired.
I hope they don't allow you to use all costume parts right off the bat. Unlocking costumes is part of the game progression to be honest
R8 my son. Titan weapons/electric brute
can't they banned me for calling Leandro a faggot. the discord is full of fags
Arachnos. With Statesman dead, Lord Recluse reunited with the Red Widow, Scirocco flirting with the side of good, and Ghost Widow's loyalty to Arachnos itself, but not its leadership, something was brewing. What was going to happen?
RG: I know that Dr. Aeon was pretty set on having Scirocco set up to become a good guy. We even had an entire Sig Story planned around it at one point. We had shaken up the Freedom Phalanx, but Arachnos was still in the same state as it was when CoV launched... we definitely wanted to make things feel more dynamic on the red side of things.
STM: I had an entire personal story in a playable state that was Scirocco going good, it was awesome. There were 13-14 missions, all fairly quick (i.e. less than 5 minutes) where you played as Scirocco.
It was Scirocco and Ice Maiden.
Now I feel robed of the final chapter.

Can't help you if you cant act like a human bean.
Guess you'll have to check reddit.
why is paragon chat full of faggots
i want to shitpost bros
Why is there no huge female body type?
No one to blame but yourself then.
jokes on you i re-infiltrated
because at one point in the past we had standards
How do I get out of the tutorial?
I know man. I've honestly just been waiting for City of Titans or some shit to just replicate the game well enough, but now we're actually getting the real thing. It's been so long..
>shitposting in public spaces
"Stateman? He was a nice guy. I feel bad about stuff."
There were many jokes on the old forums about that.
Is there a Gambit class?

They didnt ban you moron they kicked you.
She is an XXX-school student so she is less developed
Makes me wonder what is going to happen to CoT now? CoT only got traction due to CoH being unavailable to play (except for Leandro).
well i'm from Buenos Aires and i say kill 'em all
you can take Staff Fighting as a Scrapper, Brute, or Stalker. Nothing to throw exploding cards.
Well CoT should still have a place. CoH is a 2004 old game.
There's a Staff Fighting powerset
Staff weapon set was released a few months before the shutdown. Its more Donatello then Gambit.
How do i play this shit? I cant even find an official site or name in this thread. Pls help
Mender Silos is Lord Nemesis. Where were you going with that story? A sinister plot spanning all of time, or was it a genuine redemption? Was Ouroboros really bad all along? Were they going to turn on us at any point?
MM: Genuine redemption, but given the reaction he got from everyone who learned his secret, he started thinking like the Old Nemesis again.
RG: We had a lot of meetings on just this topic. The angle I had been gunning for was that Mender Silos would be an ex-member of Battalion, who saw the end result of their empire and chose to use time travel to oppose them. Others suggested that he had become Time Incarnate itself. Whatever the end result was, he was definitely going to figure pretty heavily in the Battalion and post-Battalion storylines.
Yeah, I wonder what will happen as well. Im hoping they'll still continue on. if they can make a good looking game with as much customization as CoH and fun combat and powers, I'd still play it.
What do you guys think, this looks any good for Kamen Rider 1?
City of Titans was a scam used to help pay for Leo's server.
Likely they'll continue working if they are serious, they may even be able to have the CoH code to jump a lot of dev time.
Because it closed in 2012 it just there might be a private server opening up soon.
You can actually write kanji across your chest? That's pretty cool
Dang I was hoping for exploding cards honestly, I wanted to make Kaiba
Glowing in the dark isn't necessary as long as you fight for a just cause.
Needs the red scarf, but it's damn good user.
anyone got the info doc that show all leandro shit?
I think outside the ones I used there is only fire & water
This was deconfirmed. City of Titans is preparing a statement. The confusion comes from COHTitans the hosting server that Leo was a part of. COHTitans was complicit with Paragon Chat, but City of Titans, so far, is in the clear.
red scarf RED SCARF
Sadly there is no scarf that looks like the one Kamen Rider has.
You need his silver insect jaw thing.
