CITY OF HEROES: Freedom - Convergence (Issue 21 Trailer - Come Together)

[6661313]

can't say i think of the char creator as 'improved' (met people who didnt know what they were just 'ranged' or 'melee' ...one called themseves a 'coruptor blaster' ) and they removed the option for detailed info on the powers at creation (thinking maybe not to overload new players?) and not a gripe on the game so much as the players but DFB could really use a xp cap was disgusting seeing a lv 50 +1 TW/fire brute less then 24hrs after it went on sale

but your vids? always great! :D

[samuraiko]

@6661313 One thing about all that I CAN say. TW was accidentally leaked a week or so ago for about 5 minutes. 12 people made characters before it was pulled. The devs let them keep them - hence they were able to still level them. You probably saw one of them. :)

But I'm glad you like my work!

[6661313]

@samuraiko didn't hear about the leak , but when i found out what they guy was when i showed up to help and refused he said he got it by doing 'sewer runs all day!' (as if that was a long time >.> lol

came back to watch the vids before when i heard your name mentioned on the TW ustream (watched the repeat) funny how vids you have of stuff i already did in the game made me more excited about it then the first time i tried them out myself lol :)

[MaxSteiner120]

Samurajko, I never dreamed about it. B'( Everything. When buying a new computer from beneath the Earth shop for this game.

By the way, you play? Say, is there anything in addition to Kun Fu?

[SupaFreakInCity]

Huh. I still find myself watching your videos before I pay attention to NCSoft's videos. Great work, Samuraiko.

[MelficeCyrum]

Oh snap, that's me in the front row of the players in front of Atlas Park! :D

[CassandraTroy]

Not too crazy about the "improved" character creation and the new tutorial but everything else is fantastic. Awesome video.

[samuraiko]

@CassandraTroy Not too crazy about how they did it or how I presented it? But I'm glad you liked the rest! :D

[CassandraTroy]

@samuraiko Was talking about the actual game not your cool video as I find making a new character now way more confusing than it used to be but maybe the new players won't have a problem with it.

[elvnsword]

@CassandraTroy

I think the new button placement may be a bit small for my resolution, and it came in buggy, (missing my Cape of the Four winds on new characters for example, but that is a rare piece for most folk (original CoH DVD edition special item)) but I like the new background colors, it is easier to see the colors on your costume as they will appear in game.

I love the new tutorial, but wish there was an option to fight in outbreak and breakout still for us Vets...

[SkarmoryThePG]

Wonderful as always.

[tw1ztid1]

prob a dumb question... how do i get to the new zone? i went to praetoria and couldn't find my way there

[samuraiko]

@tw1ztid1 There's an entrance in Underground Imperial City, I think... or if you're in Primal Earth, the entrance is in Talos (behind the Arena) or Sharkshead (I forget exactly where). When you ding 20, you'll get a new contact that will tell you how to get there.

[andyt1313]

Nice vid, as usual. Great game but after 5 years of repetitive critter killing missions took a break. Looks interesting maybe I'll take a look.

[drownoble]

Fantastic Video! I agree with others, Samuraiko should be hired by Paragon Studios as new Head Video Maker. Just have to think what her superhero persona would be....

[samuraiko]

@drownoble I've joked in the past that if I ever got hired by Paragon Studios, my 'red name' would be Amanda Vimes (the WSPDR reporter in the Rogue Isles). :)

[Blackdragon1686]

Nice job as always!  Love the music choice on this one!

[CoHChika]

YAY! As usual, you have gotten better and better! This is well done and actually tells in 4minutes the synopse of CoH Freedom: Convergence. Great job again!

@X'terra

[Switch72nd]

So when are they actually opening it up for everyone? I am resubbing in a few days but was just wondering.



[samuraiko]

@Switch72nd The official launch date hasn't been announced yet, so far as I know... I imagine it can't be too far off, to be honest.

[PantsReduction]

why Paragon doesn't pay you for these I will never know

[samuraiko]

@PantsReduction If you ever figure it out, let me know.

[Mojobaby817]

DId I just see scrappers with Stone Melee? If that's the case I'm coming back lol.

[samuraiko]

@Mojobaby817 Somewhere on the forums is the full powerset proliferation update (what got what). Personally, I was stoked that Corruptors got Poison and Blasters got Dark/Dark. Woot!

[ThreshoId]

So much new content!

[RainBeau65]

Awesome Video Samuraiko as always ..great job!!!

[zombiesecurity]

How much is Mastermind in Paragon Market?

[toval76]

Outstanding!

[jugglerjohn]

Awesome!!!!

[5tailrace]

superb as usual

[TheGLfilms]

you forgot street justice powerset

[samuraiko]

@TheGLfilms No I didn't. Street Justice is not part of the initial release of COH:F and I-21. I double-checked.

[mkhall]

Nicely done video, as always!

[FrankyT49]

Another brilliant trailer video as always Samuraiko! Your videos always make me almost want to come back to City of Heroes, but then I remember the one thing that always had bugged me in CoH was the Avatar's glue stuck hands.. call me picky but it just really weirds me out! Though I gotta say their latest issue looks promising! Keep up the awesome work! (Both Samuraiko and NCSoft!)

[KojiroJames]

Once again superior to the corporate drone version.

[ekimmak]

Wait, do premium accounts have access now?

[samuraiko]

@ekimmak No, not yet - this is the VIP Head Start for COH:F.

[gregoryvn3]

Amazing! So much packed into a few minutes, and to good music. Well done!

[darkether]

Another great vid, Samuraiko!

[liversnatch]

Looks great, can't wait to try it out on live...

[bustin927]

Niiiiiice i like this ^_^

[ClarkSavageJr]

That...made me dizzy.

AND anxious to play! Rassen-frassen server issues!!!

Wonderific as usual, Sam m'dear!

[fdythunre]

Awesome video, i want to play it even more now! But, what the phasing thing?

[samuraiko]

@fdythunre As you progress thru certain story arcs, it changes the game world around you. It is QUITE cool. :D

[Urbanmaniac111]

@samuraiko what do you mean??

How does this affect other players and myself?

[samuraiko]

@Urbanmaniac111 As you go through certain story arcs, depends on the choices you make or actions you take, the game world changes. For example, adding the Wards (the tripods in the cemetery) makes them appear on your map... but not other people's. And the wards are permanent. Alternately SPOILER, during the Aaron Thierry arc, for YOU, Argosy Industrial Park goes from having Vahz and Hellions to being COVERED in Arachnos - but other players still see it as normal.

[CrazyTasteyPi]

As long as I still have access to everything I've bought and unlocked before hand when I can no longer support my VIP status I got right now. And I WON'T be able to support it forever.... I'll be happy. Other wise, NC and suck it for being a bunch of little bitches. This downtime that they couldn't finish in a timely fashion already has me irked enough as is.

[samuraiko]

@CrazyTasteyPi They've already said several times that a) if you've paid for it, you keep it, and b) if you're still paying now, you're earning points you can save up for everything else you might want. There's a fairly sizable Q&A thread on the forum that covers it.

[samuraiko]

I'm glad you guys are enjoying it, thanks very much! :D (And lots of thanks to the players who helped with frantic in-game filming!)

[KikiAndFriendz]

Where's thee sharks in First ward? :L awesome vid btw , you should be the one making the trailers for COH ;D

[MikeTimPitre]

Freakin awesome! Nicely Done!



[ASHL0TTE]

[tellisd]

Oooh I finally managed to make it into a Samuraiko video. Awesome!

[swardinc]

Amazing video i think your best yet with the music and how the video unfolded

[bi1itis]

Very awesome! Great job as always! I thought I was keeping up with what was coming, but there were things in here that were news to me!

[Triggerhappy938]

[kevinearllynch]

[LordRavenwolf]

*drools*

Awesome Job!!

[redcomet7]

Top Notch!!! 

[Sturmjaeger]

As if I needed more reason to get excited for I21! Great job!

[Piyerus]

Awesome video! And I actually managed to get into a couple of scenes in this one, which makes it even more awesome! :D

[MrChaosalmighty]

Excellent as Always DR

[RialVestro]

This new update looks amazing, too bad no one has access to it.

[Heliospathe]

[DavidRodriguezjr]

Well done as usual Samuraiko.
