However many slots there are…8, I think…you get that many per server. So go nuts! ---

as for multiple chars… I go back and play my lev 10 Blaster occasionally, but once you get a taste of the really good travel powers, ie… super jump, teleport, or fly, it’s Really tedious to have to actually spend so much time running from place to place to get to missions etc… I know Max was as excited as me when he got Super Jump… it’s such an awesome, game-changing power, that when I finnaly acquired it, I spent about an hour just jumping from rooftop to rooftop, not fighting anything. My 10 blaster can hover, but he still has to jog to get anywhere… So pedestrian lol. ---

Another question. How do Superjumpers get down from tall buildings unscathed? Does superjump negate falling damage? Do you just suck it up? ---

With SJ on, you take minimal damage from dramatic level changes… sjumping level doesn’t hurt you at all. I have turned off sj on the way down from a tall building, and… er, ouch. Aside from SJ, I have been told that you can fly as high as possible (or be ported) and fall, and you will be left only a few hit points. So you won’t die, but it’s close. ---

Woohoo!!! i just downloaded update #1: Thru the Looking Glass!!! And it’s too late for me to play. But it should auto d/l to you after you log off next time you play. Can’t wait till tomorrow afternoon now 🙂 ---

It’s a good idea on their part; they can lessen the load on release day by spreading out the downloads rather than having every single player try to haul down everything at once. Gassius dinged to 27, added two more level 30 single origin defense buffs to Maneuvers, and threw some more l30 SOs onto expiring enhancements. I still haven’t convinced a party member to die so I can use Fallout, though… But enervating field? Oh my gracious, is that power useful. ---

Well shoot. At least I won’t be tempted to leave work early now. So have they given a set date for go-live yet? ---

No release date that I have seen, but I recall the original intent was to have the feature release in the first week of July. That said, if you want to play it, you can do so right now. Just load your character onto the Test server, create a new shortcut pointing to the Test server, and then log in as usual. You’ll be playing your same character in the new codebase. Of course, nothing you do will count on your real character, but that’s kind of fun. I took Thermocline into Boomtown and got killed a couple of times, because, hey, it’s just the Test server. ---

Does anyone play on the Triumph server? I got the game and started out before I found out all the Dopers are on another server. So, if you find yourself on the Triumph server and run across Capt. Aquarius, say hello! You may also say hello to The Man in White, Mr. Spock, X-10, Pink Floyd, or the Pizzaman. Since this thread is so long, I was thinking of starting another CoH thread. Any ideas on that? ---

In the vein of the ongoing Diablo II thread? Sure, I guess. This one’s outlived it’s original purpose. I have a CoH thread about emulating Marvel/DC heroes types with the structures of the game, here. I’m thinking of picking a second server for some hijinks… I want to start a Supergroup that’s essentially a Ninja clan, in which I’d have several alts. So far I’ve got four characters on Virtue and one on Justice. ---

Where’s that Marvel/DC thread, Gamera? I personally don’t mind take-offs of existing heroes. I love seeing how close people can get to “real life” characters. I know NCsoft frowns on it, so anytime I’ve made them I just take them into Outbreak, get some screen shots, and then delete them. But sometimes I really wish I could play them longer. Made a heck of a Feakazoid too. Themed supergroups are cool too. My character Pestilenz was in a group of undeads but that group seems to have disappeared in my week absence from the game. Team uniforms (not just colors) are great. ---

Thermocline just hit 16. I think a little trip to Boomtown may be in order, or perhaps Faultline. Oh, and I have the day off tomorrow, so I’ll be playing during the day. Woohoo! Maybe I can get in with a Task Force team. ---

Hey **Pleonast** , how bout let’s try to finish up that Task Force we’ve been sitting on for a few days. Say 9pm CST tonight? Otherwise, we’re just sitting there unable to accept other missions…and I’m really wanting that SO enhancement 🙂 ---

Sure, let’s finish the Task Force. I’m usually on around 5-7pm PT. I can push the later end a little, if necessary. But it’s better for me if we can start earlier than 9pm CT.
