I haven't even set up a toon on beta yet. I need to, and quick!WHAT?!
WHAT?!Done
Oh no no no, that won't do. Here (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/charactercopy.php) you go. Go grab a toon from live and toss 'em on Beta.
Beta's been down to populations as low as 5-10 people on. We can use all the folks we can get.
<sigh> I'll be in Disney World next week. :gonk:Somehow, I think you're not likely to find much sympathy. ;)
It's for a convention. For work. Well, 3 of the 7 days are.
Oh, Beta, my home, my home...
I'm a Beta native, so if you yell really loud, I'll be there.
Though it'll be easier if I knew of a timeframe when this is happening.
*waits eagerly for the next installment*
Hmm... Emperor Cole, Avatar of Hamidon...
Hey, if your event involves running incarnate trials, signature story arcs, or VIP-only story arcs, then those of us that aren't VIPs (such as myself) won't be able to participate. I don't expect you to spoil the content of your event, but if it involves VIP-only content, you might want to tell us now, so that those of us without VIP status don't get our hopes up.
If we win, we save Paragon, right?
Yes. And no.
Yes. And no.
Cryptic as ever :)
Mender Silos, Hamidon, and the Battalion walk into a bar...The bar breaks, Hamidon blames the Battalion, the Battalion blames Hamidon, and Silos walks off laughing as they fight, because that was his plot all along.
I don't think humor works as well here: Mender Silos, Hamidon, and the Battalion walk into a bar...The bartender says, "Hey, what is this, a joke?"

Tentatively targeting Wednesday, November 28th, 6pm Pacific 9pm Eastern to give it a try. Some of the last pieces still falling into place.All of these people asking for times, here you go. This might still be subject to change, but that's Aracana's perogative.
I'm posting my notion of a backstory on the official forums, but I will repost them here. Especially because they'll probably disappear forever in a week.
I heard about the beta event in PinnBadges last night. If someone can give the most expeditious way to get rolling on beta server, I'm in. Never been there.
If I can butt in one moment here, I was told Arcana's event will be occurring tomorrow night? As in, Wednesday the 28th?
I believe Rikti War Zone can hold a maximum of 50 players. What if more than 50 want to get in? A second instance of RWZ will spawn... but, can the event be hosted in two RWZ zone instances simultaneously? Or will only the first 50 get to participate?
You took the words right out of my... uh... keyboard. I was wondering about this, too... even if the RWZ's capacity is 100 (though 50 is probably right, I'm not sure), this seems like something that could attract somewhat more than that. As I recall, TonyV was only expecting about ten Atlas Parks for the Unity Rally...
- Prometheus will also be in the zone, calling the defenders of Earth to rally to the defense of the zone. Prometheus has a special surprise for primal earth defenders: to face this ultimate threat to Primal Earth he has agreed to unlock all incarnate potential in all who have such potential. Anyone, whether they are an already Incarnate hero or just a beginning security level 1 villain will be empowered by Prometheus to their full potential. Prometheus will be in the Rikti War Zone about an hour before the event begins to give defenders of Primal Earth some time to adjust to their new empowerment.Here's the big question.
[Note: that is exactly what it sounds like. Prometheus is going to grant everyone who enters RWZ full incarnate status with all the incarnate slots and powers. If you are not level 50 Prometheus will buff you to 50. But you will still have to train to 50 to actually use Incarnate powers, and you will still need to actually slot incarnate powers before using them.
Here's the big question.
If you are NOT a VIP, will this allow you to actually use your Incarnate abilities?
I *think* so.Excuse me whilst I cackle maniacally. I can't wait to see the shock on whatever the Battalion have as an excuse for faces.
Except for Black Pebble, of course, who's idea of fun is to drop a squadron on Extinction Warwarlkers in lethal mode into the middle of the players. He's a psycho.To be fair, he had to spawn extras because we kept killing them.
Yep. And the event's over with. Now the devs are just having fun murdering everyone in RWZ by summoning Kronos titans and Extinction Warwalkers.
Part eight is the last part of the story. I hope you all liked it as much as I enjoyed writing it. There's so much I think there is to say about this world, and I only had a limited amount of time to say it. I hope I did justice to this game, the rich lore of the game, and the expectations of my readers.
I will be there until the end. Once things have settled down a bit, I intend to start a new thread here on Titan discussing how the story and the event was made, at least as long as I have something to say and anyone cares to know.
Until then, Aloha for now.
I can't be the only one who is picturing the Battalion as NCsoft and cackling maniacally at them being trapped with/within/on Hami.
