Title: CoH Subculture and Memes
Post by: Coffin on December 01, 2012, 09:05:33 AM
Let's see what I can remember.

/jranger
Go Hunt. Kill Skuls.
Jerk Hackers
Game has gone to the Americans!
The half hellion / half skull kid whose parents were lesbians.
Also, /regen is nerfed.
WTH? Oil Slick?
Big Red Ball
ED jokes
The Mighty Scourge's guide to empathy
Fruit Salad Defenders / Fruit anything
Cuppa anything
Fr34ksh0w sp33k
Speaking Style: Rikti
Becky the Tarantula Mistress
Blue Steel, the Chuck Norris of Paragon City
Hellion & Skull Girlfriends
Behemoth Farms
Lolstalkers
Blood of the Black Stream and Avillians (that never happened)
Scrapperlock
SMASH!
Costume Contests under Atlas
Hunting glowies in Orenbega
Layer Cake Caves and Office Spaces from Hell
Pocket D and ERP stereotypes
My man Nemesis is down with the street, as it were.

The best cutscene in MMO history, where you meet your character's alternate reality counterpart.
No seriously, that is pure greatness.
The Tin Mage and the Prestidigitator's letters.

So what else have I missed?

I feel terrible that I cant remember his name! It started with a 'd', but he did a guide to every support set in the game, and a great guide on melee that without it, I never would have learned to tank even a quarter decently.

FREEM!

Was that Dechs Kaison?
I think he has a private blog you could follow.

I can't believe I forgot FREEM! for the list.

Which is exactly why I thought we could use a thread like this.
To remember the culture that CoH created.

Also, Tankermind is one of my favourite phrases ever.

Lol, I see I wasn't the only one to have created an AE Baby of their own.  Sadly mine never did get to 50, but what levels he had (I got him to 30 and he fell by wayside) were entirely earned in AE farms, and besides Vet badges and such, all his badges were AE-related.  No bio or anything on him though, just a regular real AE baby question:  "Which way to Atlas Park?"

I always loved the All Blaster TF's.  They were a bla... very fun!  I never did an All Stormie or any all-AT ITF but it would have been fun.   Blasters wound up being my favorite AT (maybe that would have changed over time), since blasters either won fast or got defeated fast (or else got very skilled at running away and escaping.)  I especially loved blaster Defiance so even mezzed I always had 3 attacks and then could pop that BreakFree.

BTW, do Inspirations count as a meme?  If so, let's add Combining inspirations, and asking a fallen teammate "What u need?"

Not quite sure if it would qualify, but having played a lot of Kins (mostly Corruptors and Defenders), I tended to see this quite a bit:

"Where's the Kin?  I need SB!"
*a moment of confusion before the lead tank speaks up from within a large pull*
"She's in here with me"

Maybe it was just how I played 'em (because I know not everyone with a Kin did so), but I saw variations on that quite a bit because I tended to stick to the lead tank like glue.  I'd faceplant a little more often perhaps if I didn't pay attention, but it was so much fun to just let the tank pull an aggro cap worth and to nuke in their collective faces....repeatedly.  XD

Oh wow.

Experiment used only with one character, then forgotten about and left in?

Or does it fit with his character? I wouldn't think so, myself..

Muxley: "Rackin' frackin' rausey-rakin'!"

Telephone:  "Riiiing! Riiiing!"

Luddite lessons in Cap:
"Figure 1 shows the difference between a 'Good Protest' and a 'Bad Protest.'
The Bad Protest is the one with all of the head injuries.
Illustration 4 is entitled 'How to go limp'."

Sorority Recruiter : "Come on! Heroes TOTALLY join sororities! Join now!"

In fact - all of the NPC-on-the-street dialogues.  I should start a thread on that if there isn't one already.  I have an embarrassingly large text file of NPC quotes I just had to save.  Someone had way too much fun putting in random 'flavor' dialogue for characters you passed on the street.  What other game has done that?

This only really caught on in the Kheldian forums, but since Microcosm was such a numbers wonk, whenever anyone would pose a question or voice an opinion that was possibly confusing or contentious, some of the regulars would post the "Microsignal" to summon Microcosm to a thread.

Funny thing, I actually knew a few AE babies who grew up to be competent players.  Yes, they got a little preoccupied with their billion-inf farming franchises, but at least they knew how to carry their toons on Incarnate trials and Task Forces :P

Heh!  Hiya Rangle!  I rather suspected I'd be hearing that there were NO such things as Rangle PlotsTM if you happened to see this post.  LOL.  BTW, is it okay if I add you and Impish to my Buddy List here on Titan?  I've sent Impish either email or PM via Titan asking if she can repost the great pics and screenies of the Rangle toons.  *Beep, Beep! No Rangle Plots here!*  That thread on our now vanished forums always made me laugh.   :)

"Rangle PlotsTM" were mostly limited to the Justice server, with occasional flurries into the TankHQ global (During Tanker Tuesday runs). I was surprised that a couple of throw away lines by me, repeated here and there, ended up having a life of it's own. That it lasted as long as it did, and was still "going strong" at the games end amazed me. I'm just glad most folks had fun with it, even if it was fully at my expense.  8)

I can't speak for Impish, but you can certainly add me to your buddy list.

I was a huge Firesign Theatre fan from way back when, and there was always a strong Firesign influence in all of my AE stories, especially Jerk Hackers and Deth Kick Champions.  Making forum memes into AE stories was something I specialized in, though it did not end well for The Monstrous Regiment of Lesbian Hellions.

And there were Tanker Tuesday specifics, like "Witty dies."

A friend of mine got on a group of 8 blasters for that event, and apparently it went 8x aim/BU/snipe and the WL was pretty much dead. He went up 15 levels in less than an hour.

The AE babies http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/438711/ae-babies-episode-1 were superb.

The first Winter Lord event helped a lot of characters get to 14 (full travel power) and/or 20 (Stamina) at a time in the game when it really sucked to be without either.  This was back when the devs (Cryptic) subscribed to the MMO design concept that travel time and other things that extend play time are equivalent to content, and thus made people Sprint across entire zones and Rest after every couple of fights.

After running my level 8 barbarian shaman from Halas all the way across the world to... Faydwer or whatever that stupid elf woods place was... nothing in City of Heroes ever seemed like much of a challenge.  I handled the Hollows just fine.  ^_^

As I've posted elsewhere, I used Winter Lords on several characters but most notably my fire/kin Shinobu (later Prisstina when I moved her to Virtue) went from about level 13 to level 27.

Thanks, Rangle!  Added you to the Buddy List.   I really like that the community is still here.  Thus far CoH fandom on Titan has been a good substitute for me since I can no longer log in and team.  I haven't felt like playing any games, MMO or otherwise, since shutdown, tho I expect I will in the future.  I greatly enjoyed all the joking speculation on Justice United chat from @Nursette, @Heroette and others about RanglePlotstm.  When you were offline, we'd often joke about someone being part of a RanglePlottm or even you!  E.G. Notice how you never see Nursette and Rangle together at the same time?  Why that's like Batman/Bruce Wayne or Clark Kent/Superman -- Suspicious!  It was a delightful RanglePlottm  Thanks for all the humor this created.   :)
