    So, my gf saw me playing with the character editor and wanted a go. She made a character she likes and now she wants an account of her own. This is an extremely rare occurence, her finding a character she likes the look of in an mmo. I am extremely anxious to activate a free trial for her.
    Filefront wont let me. I tried on her computer, which I activated mine on, and then my computer, and both times it tried to tell me there were none available. I tried the click official demo link trick, no luck. I have a sneaking suspicion that filefront links its trial keys to ip's, so its probably issued a trial key to our router and refuses to issue another.
    If this is the case, can someone who hasn't used theirs yet do me a huge favour and bung me another trial key via pm. I'd love to play heroes with her. :winky:

    edit: HarshLanguage, you are a god among men. Thankyou.
    I don't need a key anymore.

    My wife and I duo all the time in CoX, one of the few games she likes. The completely customizable costumes help. We like to design duos together with somewhat matching costumes. Good times.

    Well, I need to pick up GvsE and then convince the local cybercafe to install it onto another machine so I can play with my buddy.

    I love Gear's initials. gg (good game) for when he feels like being female, gm (i...i dont have to explaint his one right?) for when he wants to be a real man.

    So, my gf made a dark miasma/electricity blast defender. She loves the game so much we are gonna buy heroes (villians will probably happen in the second month since we are slightly low on funds).
    She basically got hover and the game hooked her, rod and all. She can't wait for fly, but to tide her over we did the jetpack safeguard mission and I managed to find some crytek armor in a sidemission. Since I'm a katana/superreflexes scrapper, this was fuckin handy.
    We're level 8 now.
    She's not a "gamer" really, she plays worms, ragnarok online and a few anime based games with me, and we have a sotc save game where she watches me take out all the colossi, so her delight in the game (she wanted to play all day yesterday) is awesome. Since I love it too.
    Heroes: bringing couples together to kill shit. :^:
    See you guys in game, although today itll just be me on my other character.

    Oh man, all this talk of couples heroing is bringing me down. Whenever we move back together the first thing I'm doing is convincing Ed to get back into the game.

    Also, having internet access again is awesome.

    That is great, Morninglord. Pretty much the same thing with my wife.
    You two should make some characters for Wednesday Night Teaming, if you can make it. The thread is floating around this forum.

    There had better be some damn wasp wings in there somewhere. I want Vespa looking her best when I get back into this game.

    Mmm, Optimus Prime. There was a thread on the cov general discussion forum about the black market truck and its disturbing similarity to the matrixed one and it had pictures of many of the different variations of Optimus. I now know more about him and Rodimus than I ever really wanted to.

    Nope. Theres dev a post on the official boards that theres one more build of I8 to go to test before I9 goes to test, so we're probably looking at a week or two before I9 hits test, and probably a month on test at the minimum before it goes live. If its live in early April, we'll probably be lucky.

    Huh. I know I've seen that video before, but I didn't remember the bug wings as anything separate from the fairy/butterfly wings. Still though, those are more mothy and less waspy. I guess I'm picturing something more like... well, what The Wasp has. I'm sure I could live with the wings in that video, though, assuming I could make them look translucent somehow.

    [Side note] - I'm a little worried about the timing of my post a little upthread:

    I want to steal this thread for a moment to ask if anyone would be interested in the concept of a Villain-side superteam, like we had with the Phantoms? No organized times; just a common AT and primary or secondary that overlaps well. Doms, Corrs and MMs would probably work best for this, with Corrs maybe being the best option. It would probably be good to have it on Virtue, but that wouldn't be a total necessity.

    I dunno, it just seems like there's not a lot of villain-side stuff happening with PA, so I thought I'd float this out there.

    I've got no slots left, but if one of mine happened to fit the theme I'd join in.

    Edit: How about a 2nd team night on Victory, on villains? Sunday maybe?

    I know this shows me for the luckless loser I am, but it might be better on Friday or Sunday, as we don't have to play against people having to go to work the next day (for the most part). Team night is a good idea as well, but I'm not sure how many people want to commit a second night. If we can get 12 to 15 people, though, it would be good.

    I'd be fine with paying the box price for a 2nd account, but $30 a month is too much, and I'm sure I'd want to play old characters more than all-new ones.

    They really need to come out with a way to purchase slots on a server. I'd be all over that.

    I think the idea of a Villain team night or superteam is a good idea, though I don't think I could participate much. My PC just doesn't get very good performance red-side, and an replacement isn't possible in the immediate future (its too old to make upgrading make any economic sense).

    Gear and I talked about a Villain night, I always planned on setting one up I just wanted to wait to see how successful the Hero Team Night was. Also I wanted to wait until there was a general desire for one.
    I've also been kicking around trying to set up an Event Day, which would pretty much be TF, Raids, PvP, LvL Rushing, badge farming, planned LK/SK power leveling, really anything. Just a set time on the same day each week where you could log on to find something going down. You may not always have a character who could go along but at least global would be full. Biggest problem for me is having the time to come up with something each week and my availability would pretty much limit me to Saturday. Obviously others would be able to help out on the events for each week.

    So anyway if a Villain night (just like Hero Night) were to go down when would you want it?
    If an Event Time was setup for Saturdays, it would be a three hour window but sometimes go longer or shorter depending on the event, what time would you want it to start? Would Saturday be a terrible time for you? (I'd say Sunday night is the best but Battlestar switched nights. :P )

    I actually don't really have any good nights. I work most Fri and Sun evenings, and Sat is ODAM gaming. My only nights I'm actually likely to be free is Mon and Tues, but that has the same prob as Wed where it starts about 2 hours before I go to bed.

    I'd be totally down for a Villain night, or even another separate hero night. I only really play during the wednesday meetings, and I'd like to get more out of my $15 a month. I know I could log on another character but I only like playing when I know I can join a good team.

    One thing I was thinking of for the Super Team concept, if anyone wants to do that instead or in addition, was Dark Miasma. A lot of -Res, -Acc, Fear, AoE heals, holds and Fluffies, and it even spans two ATs. You could play either Corrs or MMs and still have the secondary. Traps also spans two ATs, and looks like a set that would stack well with itself.

    I used the free CoV trial myself. Now it's in my owned games list and the trial is 7 days past and I can still play so if you own CoH you should be able to do the same thing.

    So, theres a new patch on the Training Room today. Which by itself doesn't mean a lot, but it does mean this:

    The next patch after this will be Issue Nine.*

    *Dev posts the other day said there were two builds coming, one more patch to I8, then I9.

    So.

    Guys.

    I think I'm coming back soon. I'm feeling the pull toward MMOs again, and from what I've read I9 will add just the kind of stuff that'll keep me entertained long-term. Plus of all the online games I've played CoH is the most consistently fun and has the best community by far.

    Anyway, expect me back by the time I9 hits live, if not earlier. Woo!
