Happy 9th CO!

[MyriVerse]

*crickets?*

Well, collecting kitties has been a little fun. Hope next week improves though.

Awww, see... now I feel bad for not saying anything! I'm glad you did. I dunno why I didn't, but I didn't.

Yup, it's the big 9th  : )

*cheer*

[MyriVerse]

*golf clap*

Second week is a bit more better. The scavenger hunt was an improvement. Yay Tux Kitty! Emotes and costume pieces. Destroyer mission.

[Xev]

It's the anniversary... Spotlights.. Party.. Huge cake.. Sapphire has her hotpants on and is being TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS..

I always liked anniversaries. So spectacularly super corny and great.

Not logged on much for this one so far. Did save some kitties just for fun and ran a bunch of Grabs for the bonus-XPers..just for fun. Would like to be playing more. Will probably log on tonite now that you reminded me of the anniversary party still going on. Summer and STO have been keeping me kinda busy otherwise I'd be playing more CO. Saw some sexah new costumes last time I was on. Mine feel like they're getting dated..

How many purrs does it take to get to the center of a crazy cat lady?

Majadi haz 5 (but one's a grey wolf trying to fit in).

Champions Online, also developed by Carbine Studios as was COH,

I believe you're thinking of Cryptic Studios.

Apparently, there's a perk for this. Becoming a Cat Lady requires you do the cat mission like 27 times this month (almost every day).

[MyriVerse]

Speaking of hinting. Err Tinting? During my last voyeuristic session in CO Trade from STO I saw someone say that Tinting is now buyable in the Z Store? Is it a bigillion? I have to look.. Here in just a little bit or so. Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally.. If true.

I don't even enter the Z Store. Not interested.

[Xev]

I don't even enter the Z Store. Not interested.

If you were me, then you'd be totally missing out!

Wow, stuff has changed there. 3 FF slots for (6k Zen) not much more than 1 used to cost and 1 for less than half the price (2k) of what 1 used to cost. And... they go on sale.

The real buy, though, is the Premium Pack. They have a similar pack in STO and it's pretty great too. More bag slots, bank slots, AE slots.. power tinting, finally.. travel powers, costume pieces... etc, and, whatever I'm forgetting.

Also, Silvers can now convert their AT's to FF (or another AT)..

The price of Zen is still through the roof when it comes to trading Q for it.. that hasn't seemed to change. Neither has Zone Chat. Full of ideas how to make a perfectly good game into another game... Predicting when the game will shut down and why... It felt like my very first logon not very long after CoH was shutdown.

Anyway, cool stuff in the Z-store for diehard Silvers like me. Guess I'll have to come up with a little Zen.. I'm close to the 1500 needed for the Premium Pack if I bite the bullet and unload my Q for the current price that makes me wince.

Had fun in CO today. Was nice to actually talk in Trade rather than just be able to only look.

~~~~~~~

Oops! I forgot. If you ever, ever, subbed to CO... you can get all those Premium Pack goodies for Free under the Bonus tab, I think it is.

[Xev]

Anniversaries <> Double XP??

Double xp is gone already!?

Pfft.

All I say, is, Pfft.

I *so* wanted to like CO.  I tried.  I really did.  But after I realized I hadn't logged in more than three or four times in two months even though I was subscribed for those months, I decided I wasn't having fun and it was time to move on.  I've logged in with a Silver account only a handful of times since then (mainly to get the free Freeform slot they gave away a couple of years ago, and play that character for a while).

CO's the only playable direct link left to CoH that I can think of. Its got sexah babes. Fast action - great ground action that will spoil you. Lots of powers to choose from and lots of flashy ways to use them and costumes to use them in, and, all kinds of ways to travel around.. For years, I've been able to hop on whenever I want and get *some* queue to pop and then I'm in a team and we're fighting bad guys and gurls. There's a great core playerbase - and influx of newbies (at varying rates.. but they're always there..).

*shrug*

Works for me!

Had they not broken the spell they had over me, I'd still be playing daily and never missing a day. I'm happy for the fun I had there, though, and, I truly feel sorry for ex-CoHers that didn't get an experience like mine in CO when CoH shutdown - it was ..... really great.

So... yeah... Happy Anniversary CO  : )

[MyriVerse]

This anniversary event is officially worth it just for Tidbit, a tiny little kitten! She's such an amazing kitty pet. While most kitties just sit there and lick themselves or other cat stuff, Tidbit actually has some personality. She seems to get bored and wanders away from you. Then she realizes she's strayed and comes run-run-running back to you. If you're on a ledge, she hops off the ledge multiple times and back again.

Too cute!


Edit: Okay. nm... Apparently all the other cats do this too, but Tidbit must still be special, because I never noticed until her.

[Xev]

Tidbit must still be special

I've been thinking the same thing..

Is Tidbit still an obtainable....AF?  SK? (What is Tidbit, slotwise, anyway?) I've not done any Dailies or anything. Saved some cats in trees but just for fun.

[MyriVerse]

Tidbit was given by the Party Host simply for checking in for the daily reward. I assume it would be available all week for those that take part in Week 3.

Tidbit is a normal action figure, like the other cats. He's just very tiny and cuter.

ALL the KITTIES (I might have missed 2-3 days of rescue missions):

Orange Tabby named Tabby (Party Host on Day 1)
Blue Tabby named Smokey (1st cycle of 3 rescues)
Calico named Duella (2nd cycle)
Tuxedo Cat named Mask (3rd cycle)
Orange Kitten named Tidbit (Part Host for Week 3)
Siamese named Popcorn (4th cycle)

And I have the "Cat Person" perk for rescuing 100 cats. I'm 162/250 for earning "Cat Lady." Don't think I'll make it. It means I have to run 9.7778 (7/9) more missions.

[Xev]

Tidbit was given by the Party Host simply for checking in for the daily reward.

Checked in exactly once and didn't even check what I was given.. Dang! That's cool. I can see using an AF like that over the ones that are... well.. Action Figures. I mean, I always use my Forum Malvanum story when it comes to AF's - that it was cool the have a tiny Firewing to whip out in a group to show I not only beat Firewing but I did so enough times to get the AF that most people never even saw yet. That was the first time I saw how AF's can be cool. And then I kinda came to appreciate them but still never used one outside of bragging rights.

Having a pet to follow me around might be more appealing to use more often. It never made sense to me that my (dollies') dollies could walk and follow me around.

And I have the "Cat Person" perk for rescuing 100 cats. I'm 144/250 for earning "Cat Lady." Don't think I'll make it. It means I have to run 11.7778 (7/9) more missions.

It means you have to ... wha? Rescue 106 more cats and do some mysterious mish math  : )

[MyriVerse]

Yeah, I've been there just about every day to check in and rescue kitties.

Each mission, you rescue 9 cats.
250-144=106 cats.
106/9=11.77778 (or 11 7/9).

I'm now at 153. So, 10.77779.

I'm not sure when the event ends. Is it only 4 weeks or until the end of September? If it ends the 27th, then I can't make Cat Lady.

I've just learned about a Cosmic Cat AF for getting all the other perks. I guess that comes with Cat Lady.

AHA! It was your conversion to fractional (7/9....) that threw me originally. I was like.. 7 out of 9 ..... WHATS? mishes? why 7 out of 9 mishes? why are mishes in 9's, anyway? nuuu 7/9 was simply 7 out of... 9.

Ohhhhhahhhhhhh..........!

*looks at Firewing*

"Puff out that tiny flamey chest, little man! COSMIC CATS!"

: )

[MyriVerse]

New week, new kitty. From the Party Host, a Tuxedo Kitten.

A couple costume pieces. Cosmic cape?

And Hideouts in the store for 750 anniversary favours.

And I was wrong about the Cosmic Cat being linked to Cat Lady. You get the Cosmic Cat for doing a set of 3 rescue missions each week. So, I'll probably get that.

This week, when you do a cycle of 3, you get a Sphynx Cat.

*Majadi orders three more litter boxes for her townhouse... and another kitty condo.*

[MyriVerse]

So, it looks like the final count of cat AFs is, appropriately, 9.

1. Orange Tabby named Tabby (Party Host; Week 1)
2. Blue Tabby named Smokey (rescue cycle; comes with some perk title)
3. Calico named Duella (I'm thinking I misremembered and this came from Party Host in Week 2)
4. Tuxedo Cat named Mask (rescue cycle; comes with some perk title)
5. Orange Kitten named Tidbit (Part Host; Week 3)
6. Siamese named Popcorn (rescue cycle; comes with some perk title)
7. Tuxedo Kitten named Darien (Party Host; Week 4)
8. Sphynx Cat named Wrinkles (rescue cycle; comes with "Caturday" perk title)
9. Cosmic Cat named Meowicus, Pouncer of Worlds (for doing all the rescue cycles)

[MyriVerse]

I give you....

MEOWICUS, Pouncer of Worlds, The Cosmic Cat!


She, too, is finicky and beyooond!

Not a complaint, but I was expecting something more... "kawaii" with a cute spacesuit or something. But Meowicus is more awesome serious.

[Xev]

All, extremely cool  : ) Feels a lot less like I'm missing everything. Thanks  : )

[MyriVerse]

All the anniversary kitties (thx to photoshop) in Maj's new hideout.

L to R: Calico (on the sofa thing), Cosmic, Orange Tabby, Tux (stretching), Orange Tabby Kitten, Blue Tabby, Tux Kitten, Siamese, and Sphynx

I was going to try and get a better look at Cosmic Cat but then I realized I had a small cat collection of my own!



Tuxedo kitty definitely won me over..

[MyriVerse]

Here's a pretty good look at Cosmic Cat grooming herself. She's a star field (like Marvel's Eternity) with huge stars for eyes... and a cute pink nose.

[MyriVerse]

The cat gods have spoken! Because of the extended maintenance of the servers (today and tomorrow), the Anniversary Event is being extended until Oct 2. This means Majadi just might earn the "Cat Lady" perk. Yay! (I'm 207/250-- 5 more missions)

[ZeeHero]

CO's base combat SYSTEM is ok its the enemy design and "mechanics" which are terribly awful, relying way too much on stunlock and knockspam to be remotely fun.

[MyriVerse]

TBH, I like the CO enemies more than CoH's.

But anyway... KITTEHS! Still on track for Cat Lady. Otherwise, I think I've gotten all I want from the event.

[Castegyre]

I showed my partner the cats and she was tempted to play for a moment or two. She's too involved to drag herself away from the people she's role playing with atm, though.

Then she started ranting about mini mines and I lost her.

[Xev]

Sooo I found out it was CO's 9th but didn't post anything due to... I dunno why. I was really glad when someone did and then went back and played STO with a lil less guilt.

And then a riddle came..

How many purrs does it take to get to the center of a crazy cat lady?

Majadi haz 5 (but one's a grey wolf trying to fit in).

Wha?

Apparently, there's a perk for this. Becoming a Cat Lady requires you do the cat mission like 27 times this month (almost every day).

Oh.

And then there was some weird math (as is required in any geek/gamer post of significance). Leet rewards were revealed and the clock starts ticking at ... 4 weeks?

Yeah, I've been there just about every day to check in and rescue kitties.

Each mission, you rescue 9 cats.
250-144=106 cats.
106/9=11.77778 (or 11 7/9).

Then we got the lowdown...

1. Orange Tabby named Tabby (Party Host; Week 1)
2. Blue Tabby named Smokey (rescue cycle; comes with some perk title)
3. Calico named Duella (I'm thinking I misremembered and this came from Party Host in Week 2)

8. Sphynx Cat named Wrinkles (rescue cycle; comes with "Caturday" perk title)
9. Cosmic Cat named Meowicus, Pouncer of Worlds (for doing all the rescue cycles)

And then I got a very, very cute kitten which is still doing figure 8's between Deeps's ankles and purrrrring. I can honestly say that his lil kitten is my.... second favorite action figure, and, by far the cutest. The kitten AF is more.... natural than the others I've used (played with..) up until now. Until now they are mostly like... AF's - lil dollies that follow me around (which, is the very weird and wonderful intention of AF's... to be your dolly's dolly. Your G.I. Joe's G.I. Joe...)- kinda voodoo dolly like... Whereas the kitten.. is very lifelike and adorable like a pet.

And now we're down to the wire....

KITTEHS! Still on track for Cat Lady.

Cool stuff, Myri-V! Thank you.  : ) Thanks for helping keep CO alive, here. *nod*. Good job. You picked up the baton and flew it to the moon  : )

And now I get to go back to a large project that got dumped on me that I have all the way until this evening to finish. Had to definitely stop in and catch up on the race for Cat Lady... : D

[MyriVerse]

Aaand that's a wrap! Pretty sure the event ends tomorrow morning. I just completed the last cat rescue, earning "Cat Lady." Yay!


It's not CO, but Majadi's townhouse base in PChat now has a cat room for all the floofs! 1,2,3... 10 litter boxes! Cat Condos!


Anyway... debating whether or not I'm ready for the Blood Moon event starting.

Down to the wire and the screenie tells the tale.

I totally enjoyed the ride  : ) And mah new kitty! Deeps may actually have a new pet. I've not had the heart to put it away yet. Too cute.

Happy 9th, CO!
