Demon Summoning

Well it looks like it could be fun. I wasn't terribly thrilled with Dual Pistols, but I never was much for the whole gun thing. If you preorder "Going Rogue" you will get early access to both these sets.

Holiday Tidings

Free Server Transfers are available through the end of December. So if you are full up on slots or want to take your favorite toon to a new community, now is the time to do it!

The Winter Event is now in full swing so get out your snowshoes and kick the Winter Lord in his big behind!

Sorry I don't have another 50 to announce, but frankly, I've been just as bored as you.

I wish everyone a very happy holiday and an amazing New Year! Please make sure to post your resolutions in the comments! :D

New Stuff

The newest booster pack is out now: martial arts! A fun little karate pack that gives you some new costume pieces, emotes and a fun new power, ninja sprint! For more pictures or a video of the new run, go here to view (or purchase)

The next Winter Event is hitting the Test Server tomorrow. Rumor has it there'll be a special zone you can travel to to foil the Winter Lord's dastardly plan for Paragon City! If you opt to head over there, join "Winter 2009" channel to stay in the loop!

Twenty

Welcome Cactaz to the Level Fifty Club. She's my twentieth, dinging in the midst of a zombie apocalypse here on Halloween night!

who are these people

and why do they look so small

BoooOOooo!

No, I'm not saying that cause you're logging! It's that time again for the Halloween event! Starting October 20th, City of Heroes will become overrun with zombies and monsters! While bringing back the past year's events (trick or treating, zombie invasion), this year brings about a scarier and more demonic apocalypse! Can you save Paragon or the Rogue Isles from certain doom or at least manage to keep your brains from being devoured? New badges and new temp powers abound!

Wings of the Dragonfly from "And Hell Hath No Fury"
Wish me luck in the Mission Architect contest! If I win, I doubt I can use most of the hardware, but hey, that's what Ebay's for!

Oh, how did your double xp go? I got a few levels on Cactaz and Zorazhad. That's about it for me.

Double XP and Happy Birthday Baba

Double XP has been extended through the end of Monday! Happy birthday Baba! Below is when we got to meet in L.A.!

Double XP, Number Nineteen, and Game News

My 19th Fifty: Viridianaz reaches 50 in RWZ
Hi ho Baba (and whatever random person stops in two months from now!)! :) Lots to tell! First of all, let be known that Double XP and inactive account activation will happen Thursday October 9 and end on October 11. That's four days! So if you let your account expire, hop on for the weekend and say hello to some old friends! Or maybe get that villain to 50 finally?! I've found a few classic DBers on Facebook and have invited them back! We miss them!

COH is also having its first Mission Architect contest! The prizes are some presumedly high-end computer stuff. You must enter by October 11th! See the full details at this link! I'll be entering my mystery arc and my Knives arc just for the hell of it. I hope Baba enters some of his too!

Starting today, October 1st, if you are a member of Twitter or Facebook, they are giving out codes for account costume powers like the ones they give away at their conventions. The newest is the Praetorian Clockwork suit:

If you are the first one to enter the code in your account page, you win the power! More info here!

There's also been a few articles about the upcoming expansion Going Rogue, but I won't bother posting them, cause there wasn't anything really new in them.

Issue 16 Goes Live

Ms. Liberty offers to do anything so long as Vazkor spares her life

Well, 16 is at last upon us. Log in to find out which badges you finally earned (since they lowered a lot of the numbers on them). We finally got the combat logs for the SG base (it sells break-frees in the infirmary). Prior to 16, we were only 1/2 way there, which is sad since the SG is four years old.

There's also some "new" powersets available as they proliferated more over. I'm not entirely I'm liking the new super sidekick system, but we'll find see how it goes! There's also new difficulty settings which I'm sure will give us good reasons to make crazy impossible missions! :)

Eighteen and Evil

Well, I have hit 50 number 18! Please welcome Vazkor to the temple of finished toons! I'd planned to hit 50 with Baba on an LRSF but my computer wasn't having any of it. I logged in later to run with T for a bit and dinged.

With the advent of Issue 16, there's been a lot of badge changes due to the developer's new found dislike of farming. I imagine both SGs will finally have access to Combat Logs (to sell break frees in the base). You'll also find many accolades easier to get so at least some good will come out of the next issue. I spent about 5 minutes in Icon on Test and was, well, bored. Find the most current patch notes to the build on Test here. You'll be disheartened to notice, Freak XP has been gutted, as well as some AE values.

Triumph Picture and Villain SG Badge

This Saturday at 6pm pacific/9pm eastern, the Triumph server is going to attempt to get as many people together in Pocket D as possible for a group picture. If you have a toon without pants, so much the better, since Triumph somehow got the nickname of "The Pantless Server".

Baba is interested in getting the giant generator for the villain base so I was thinking that maybe we could hit Warburg after the picture and earn some kills. Make sure you are in SG mode and bring your favorite Death Brigade villain!

LRSF Sat, Aug 15 8 pm EST

Blue Flames of Hades has a fever and the only prescription is more LRSF!

That's right kids, I finally made a brute and he finally made it to lvl 50. Now for the evil deed to be done...the dreaded LRSF. Date and time above says it all. Be there or...not cuz you have a life and stuff. Either way, I still luv youz guyz.

Double Do Over

According to this announcement, NCsoft has opted to offer another double XP weekend due to the server stability issues. While at first, one can be excited, it won't be until after issue 16 goes live. Considering it's not even on Test yet, this do over won't be for a while. So yeah, whatever, dude! lol

Baba is looking to do some high level stuff on villainside, so hit him up for a crack at LRSF or the Barracuda SF.

The COH forum is brand new. You can now find it here. There's a few new options, including sub-sections for groups.

Double XP Starts Tomorrow!

It's about that time! Get those hard to level toons leveled up! Will Coldie get his first 50 villain? Doubtful. He probably doesn't even know it's dbl xp weekend! LOL

Speaking of 50s, I hit my 18th tonight on katana/regen scrapper, Svanlaug. Some of you remember her as my first toon on Justice. I transferred her over about a month or two ago cause she is fun to play!

Comicon was a fun time! Most of you have seen my pictures on Facebook. I went to the COH panel and Going Rogue sounds like it'll be a whole new universe so I'm anxious to get it. Too bad we have to wait til after Issue 16 with it's lame-o power customization (which will be fun for about a day).

So check in and let's find out what you accomplished over Dbl XP weekend!
