Trick or Treat

As a special treat for all of us unable to travel to Cali for Herocon the devs have started the Halloween event two days early. So hop online get some trick or treating done. You can get badges for killing "trick" spawns, badges for colllecting costumes and badges for defeating zombie hordes during Zombie invasion.

Lets not forget collecting all the yummy costume salvage to be hoarded for all our future toons to come.

THIS JUST IN!

Well it is with trembling fingers and a pounding heart that I report that Finally the official word is out on Issue 13. Check out the official announcement and a letter from Positron giving us more details and information

Let the Speculation Begin!

So lots of talk has been going on as what the actual content of Issue 13 will be. So far the only confirmed content is that there will be some base love coming for all us base builders. As if that isn’t exciting enough I found this article that talks about some other speculated items to come in the next issue.

While 12 was celebrated as being the most quality of life friendly if even a portion of what is listed in this article is true then 13 will be the best expansion to ever come to COH/COV ever. What do you think and what would you like to see in the upcoming issue?

Double The Fun

That’s right, it’s that time again. Double XP weekend hits us starting Friday July 18. So start stocking up on the soda and munchies. Make sure you get the weekend off from your boss and make sure that friends and family know that is is going to be an incommunicado weekend.

So be prepared to be sleep deprived and remember you can shower on Sunday night as you finally get to sleep.

Ad Aware

So after hearing about it and speculating about it, it’s finally come to Paragon City. In game ads are now a reality. Below is a picture of the first one I saw in Atlas Park.

Hey if you find more let me know. I have a weird desire to need to see them all :)

Some fixes from NcSoft???

It is a sad moment when you want to stand up and applaud a company for doing something helpful for there customers, but that is how I fell today! I just got done reading the patch notes for 6-24-08 and there was a few things that I was happy for. As always there is some tweaking of numbers, animations that are now working that weren't, and the normal stuff. But there are 2 things that i want to mention:

• /Sync A new slash command that is to help put you back in sync with the server when you end falling through a rip in the MMORPG time space continuum.
• And a lot of restrictions put on trial accounts. The restrictions are numerous and I really don't want to type that much. Hopefully they are not so much that it will deture new players form joining. But there are little things in there what will help hold off on the dreaded Spam.

WOOT a patch that was worth the 2 hr down time!!!!

It Has Begun!

That's right folks I12 Midnight Hour has hit live today. For those who are still trying to get their last few levels fear not there will still be time to gain those levels and create your new toons. With lots of new changes there is a lot to absorb but the most important one that I'm excited about is being able to earn prestige and influence at all levels. So get into SG mode and lets earn badges and plenty of prestige to make those bases a true home away from home.

COH News

And so once we get ourselves organized and set up to chat the gaming hours away NCSoft throws out something that many in the gaming community have been after for a while. Yep in case you haven’t been lurking on the boards it was posted yesterday that Voice Chat is coming to COH.

Of course the Forums are full of cries of DOOM and lots of excitement and concern but we’ll see where it takes us in the future. But for now we’ll stick with our current set up as its paid through December. So fear not after all my badgering we’re not about to decamp and move to another voice system (yet).
