To Brian!: City of Heroes Frontpage Request
 

Good news. I was browsing the City of Heroes forums, looking through the Dev Digest (which is really the only worthwhile thing to do on the City of Heroes forums, as it shows which topics were actually important enough for the developers to comment on). Anyways, someone mentioned having the problem of about 60-some nazis spawn after getting put in jail. Statesman himself replied that this was (obviously) a bug and that the amount that spawn should be equal to the amount that have been in groups all over the level.

A hotfix is on the way, along with a fix to problems people have been having with Behemoth portals where level 40+ behemoths spawn, despite them being on level 35 or lower missions.

The prison fix is a nice start, but it still doesn't help. I faced dozens of nazis by myself because that's what our group had been fighting throughout the level. The seven of us could've easily taken them, but a long blaster is a stain on the wall when he goes up against that many reds (or oranges, or yellows, or whites).

I'm not sure how they think that's a fix. Since being put in prison appears to put you in yet another mini-map where your teammates can't find or assist you, they need to treat the prison area as a very small in-door mission consisting of one party member. That way those of us with the defense of a large plate glass window don't have to accrue infinite debt.

Kurosen: Actually your teammates not only can find and assist you in prisons, but they're meant to. Prison areas, from what I understand about them, DO exist int he same map, but do not appear on your mini-map for some reason. Your team can come and resuce you though, I'm positive on that.

Keep in mind: I've honestly only had one mission with a prison, and I personally was never 'captured'. But I'm still very positive that teammates can come to the prison area.

Heh, I wasn't aware any of you played City Of Heroes, I played it (Rather, I'm playing it ) but It's gotten a little stale for me, currenty level 41, As you can see, I play way too much.

I am getting CoH tonight, just wondering if I should join a particular server- if most of 8Bit forum community was on one or whatnot- this is the only site that I have seen anyone talk about it.

Well, cross, join Guardian. Our SG is based there, and I believe that Brian plays there as well as Tycho from Penny Arcade. Hell, it might even turn out to be the second 'unofficial roleplay server' if one guy's semi-SG gets off the ground. Send a tell to either Gen. Galactico or Daier Mune and those guys will hook you up. Unfortunately, I don't play on the evenings much.

Alright, hopefully i will get on tonight but I am supposed to have dinner with my boss' family so depending on the setup/patch time I might not be on til tomorrow evening ; ;

Would be great to start the game with some people that I knew to play with though. Starting MMORPGs w/o any friends is kinda scary sometimes o_O

Cross: Very much agreed. Starting with buddies makes the game much better.

Defcon: What server you playing on?

So... Brian IS on Guardian? But I don't suppose we'll get a hint at his character name? Heh.

On topic: Having done another nazi base mission tonight with a friend, I'm positive that yes, you can get to the prisons and they do not appear on your map.

i'd like to add that the prison that i saw had a tiny escape route built into it. there was a tiny hallway in a dark corner that led around most of the 5th colum mobs around the prision. granted, the exit to the tunnel was still heavily guarded, but i bet someone with stealth or with fast legs could get out of there without having to do too much fighting.

Freedom server

Currently in one of the best SG's on the server. Top Ten (Related to that show/comic im not sure really)
