Ski now that chalet is open.
explore places youve never been.
chat with people
party games such as truth or dare(there is a d6 and papper scissor rock
try to reach high up (in the sky) areas with no travel powers. then jump

Take screenshots.
play with physics friendly objects
find bugs
Run along the subway lines

try to clear the black off of every map
everyone roll a number 1-100 then try to get to atlas from said
mapwithout using / commands. if map not valid roll again
Work on bio.
Try to find players hiding off in the corners.

I like this idea, reminds me a bit of the old days of running through The Hollows dodging mobs ;D

Was trying this in Hollows, logged off, then back in and the map was black again? Doesn't look like it remembers what you have uncovered previously :(

Screenshots or it didn't happen!

Yeah, the fog of war doesn't stay. There is no server to store the information on.

Zombie Hustler · July 10, 2015, 01:18:09 AM

Stake claim to your territory.

Muahahahahahaaaaa!!!

Just a thought, and this isn't "technically" RP(even though it can be RPed to some extent), but games of Witch Hunt/Mafia can be fun on occasion for the cunning or sinister minded. My SG use to do it offline on our forums for a while, and I don't see how it can't be adapted to Paragon Chat now since it's basically a game all centered on everyone talking....

For those who don't know what the game is that I'm referring to, read about it on its Wiki page here

I think we had a City of Heroes adaptation of the rules on our SG forums that I might be able to dig up if need-be too.

I'm not sure if demo-record still works but if it does. You can make demo-records and edit them, take screen shots, travel to your favorite places for nostalgia, ect... (I don't know if there will be a server wipe, if/when they get everything working, so just incase....) hide a level one character in Paragon/Rogue isles *Take that snipers!!* :P

I recorded a demo on launch night. Haven't replayed it yet, but it did appear in the folder.

Also, all your characters are stored in your computer, so there's nothing a "server wipe" would do. I also put "server wipe" in quotes because the nature of the program is such that eventually, we'll be able to use any XMPP server to connect CoH clients.

Honestly, at the moment, I've been enjoying the time I can spend on it, just exploring all the zones while talking to folks in the chat.

Hope we can get the tabletop group thing worked out so we can have folks fighting crime (or maybe causing it) in the City again. (currently a discussion on the Steam Group: "Paragon Chat: Pen and Paper" if anyone wants to join in and help decide stuff! :)

Create, edit architect arcs using /architect
Work on your writing skills in architect
Create, edit NPCs using /architect
Realize you can't test/demo/publish said arc

Is there a way to share arc files outside of the client?

And, is it possible for PvP AE to avoid AI creation?

Charged Mastermind · July 15, 2015, 12:58:58 AM

Could play a good ol game of Diplomacy, though that would be a little hard

OR you could make it a City of Heroes Diplomacy where players are at different neighborhoods of a particular zone and they fight for control over each other! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Such an idea can only end in tears...

Mostly because I already called dibs on all the zones blue-side, so you can't have them. (It was a legally binding verbal contract with my cat, and she can testify as my witness as to the validity of my claim; I'll see you in court good sir. :P )

Fog of war is stored locally, in %LocalAppData%\NCSoft\CoX\VisitedMaps\ (and the code for writing it absolutely *hammers* your hard drive when you're moving in unexplored areas). No idea why it doesn't stick.

You could have races across Skyway City from certain points to other points.
Without travel powers, you'll have to be inventive.

From south to north Sky (or vice/versa) on the tram line between the two. Don't fall off. ;D

"No-Power Challenges" for each zone, like, get to the top of the Terra Volta reactor and other challenging heights to reach without powers.

Kinda brings back bad memories of missions to hunt Circle of Thorns in Kings Row on the roof tops without having taken Hover in the early days(Back before temp-travel powers were a thing)... By the time I got up there, the rest of my team had already defeated everything and moved to the next building..........
