Headstart Events!

Alrighty!  Open Beta is pretty fun so far but we will have to see these toons off as they will be purged before the servers are set for Live.  However!  Those of us who have access to Open Beta will most likely have access to the Headstart weekend!  This means that we can start playing in the persistent and live environment starting August 29th (Saturday) and we'll have all that time before the majority of the playerbase to level and beat the snot out of villains, Canadians and each other (<3 Tryden).<div>
</div><div>So!  First thing first is that we roll toons and have a blast getting through the Tutorial and Newbie Zones.  Team size (as of Open Beta) is only five but I'm sure we can get at least one good team blasting through missions if not two or more teams having a blast.  Once we get to the first major zones (right after Newie Crisis) and get Regeneration (you don't HAVE to get it...) or some similar passive defensive power we will start some PvP Team Queing!  CO PvP is fun enough and gets far more interesting when you have a team coordinating and spiking targets.</div><div>
</div><div>When we get enough folks on concurrently we go to Millenium City and found our SG!  I'm thinking of sticking with Vindictive as our name since that's our name but if/when Dark Champions comes out we'll look silly being the evil-doers while calling ourselves Benediction (at least unless we want to make some sort of subversive insult to religious culture WHICH WE DON'T lol).  I may stick with Benediction since old CoH-ers will remember the bloody reign of tyranny and either wet their pants or ask to join up upon seeing our flag defiantly fluttering in the wind.</div><div>
</div><div>I think its a healthy goal to get people kit out with mid teens or 20s by time the servers open for the general playerbase.  We'll not only have a headstart (per the even name XD) but we'll also have ourselves established and ready to rock.</div><div>
</div><div>Throughout the event, everyone should hop on Vent and if necessary we can make new rooms for various teams and whatnot.  Encourage folks who aren't in Vindictive to ask about joining and hop on Vent with us (if they're not total weirdos.  Or Spine).</div><div>
</div><div>If anyone has suggestions or thoughts please post

Totally agree with calling it Benediction. It'll get non-members excited to join if they remember us.

Also if anyone has friends in CoH that they know tell them we're hitting the ground running on day one and get them to join us

Also the head start launches Friday, not Saturday

</div><div>And I think I sawed my name somewhere in tharr...wtf?</div>
 
Can someone save me the names Tryden, Brayken and Nightchill? I don't know if I'll be able to do the head start events because I'm doing a dragon boat fundraiser for the local hospital that weekend.

Thanks

One of the sweet things is that there's never a name conflict!  Your name is never taken!  This works like so:<div>
</div><div>All characters are actually named CharacterName@AccountName.  This means I can roll a toon and name it Brayken or Tryden and you can still have those names since they will actually be Tryden@masterjedijared and Tryden@tryden (or whatever your account/global is).  In the persistent world all anyone will see is Tryden but in Info and the chat boxes/logs it will say Trden@tryden so it isn't even confusing if you read the names.</div><div>
</div><div>Can someone still be an ass and find a way to grief?  Of course, they'd grief one way or another but this system allows for names to never be 'taken' unless you've taken it yourself on that specific account.</div>

</div><div>Claymore did that once in CoH
</div>

It was used extensively as a last name in Warhammer Online. Though Lagmore Frost came close to usurping it

I'd like to join, but so far all I've been able to do is create characters. Trying to get in and play and the game crashes, even thought my computer should be able to run the game according to the box...
 
Its pretty buggy right now.
Check the forums, theres a tonne of people with the same problem.
 
Just found this out:<div>
</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold; ;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; ;"><span style="font-size: -webkit-xxx-large; ;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); ;"><span style="text-decoration: underline; ;">Headstart Begins 10:00am PT on August 28th, 2009</span></span></span></span></span>
</div>

</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 48px; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); ;"><span style="font-size: 48px; text-decoration: underline; ;">1 P.M. EST Tomorrow!</span></span></div>
