Signature Story Arc ViDoc #2: The Heroes of the Freedom Phalanx

[Nytellem]

Dose any one even play this anymore? i use to play but i quite it a long time ago. now my comp is not yet fit for DCUO but in the mean time i do wana play something while im bored, but i dont wana be the only person playing this thouh lol

@Nytellem It still has a thriving community. I've been pulled to SWTOR currently but once the new game feels died down for I'll liably swap between the two. CoH will always hold a soft spot in my heart as the first MMO that I played and the ONLY MMO *aside from SWTOR now* to hold my intrest beyond the first few areas. WoW bored me, everquest bored me, I've tried nearly every mmo to come out since and in some cases before CoH came out and none have given me the same feelings.

@Sandman382 its wasn't when I joined two years ago but, then the Praetorian alt begining area came out then it was massive amounts of players (mainly older ones who came back) then that died to eventually...then Freedom came out and another influx of players on the servers. that has died down a bit but still alot more players then when I joined are playing now

Woo, at 33 secs my hero Zap Robotnik is front and centre (floating, in black with red lightning bolt) - loved seeing him in the comic too! (even if I do play my villain more now!)

[egmccann]

@zaprobo As is one of mine - Piracat - on the ground, third from the left (between the two very yellowish-green people.)

[zaprobo]

@egmccann Sweet - nice to see this panel from the comic finding new life on YouTube (I always liked being canon!)

[jibikao]

Did they miss Synapse? lol

[sporestruck09]

@jibikao They did.

[MrLiam123]

Ah, so BaBs is actually in the Phalanx now? I thought he was still in the Vindicators.

[BinroWasRight]

Very nicely done, nice little (re-)introduction to the Freedom Phalanx. Though Synapse is missing.

[FadingShards]

I hope they talk a little bit about the villains soon. I would love to know more about the big bad five up in Recluse's tower.

[PhantomZwei]

Interesting, but kind of befuddling to me. Isn't BaBs not supposed to be a part of the Freedom Phalanx? The thread debunking that assumption was huuuuge. And Synapse is a part of the Phalanx, but he's not listed here. Unless the upcoming SSAs are going to throw a large curveball at us, something is amiss here.

[JKPhage]

I'm surprised there aren't any comments on us just being given an official design for Maiden Justice. That was a nice little treat.

[mattwo7]

Manti doesn't teleport, his arrows do.

[Sliftidus]

@mattwo7 Manticore teleports using the emergency teleport system... Somehow.

[mattwo7]

@Sliftidus No, his arrows do.

[jonnybg00d]

Look at the City of Heroes - Statesman vs. Lord Recluse video posted by XLp2008.

at 18 seconds.

Sorry, couldn't post the link.

[mattwo7]

@jonnybg00d That's the korean version trailer. It's also not canon if it doesn't happen in the comics or game.

Primary Powers: Trick Arrow

Secondary Powers: Archery

Other Powers: Maneuvers, Stealth

Signature Powers: Teleport Arrow

Where's teleportation?

[jonnybg00d]

@mattwo7, sorry not sure if you are looking at the same video(maybe this will work, watch?v=xSUHbp0t02Y) . Regardless of what is in the Comics or in Game, it's in that video. And yea, you are right, Mani does NOT TP at all in game. That's not what I'm talking about.

[mattwo7]

@jonnybg00d The canon status of that video is still questionable.

[jonnybg00d]

@mattwo7: yes. he does.

[mattwo7]

@jonnybg00d No, his arrows do.

[Nubias]

Kill Statesman already,I never liked that self righteous fool...

[ChaosFox0]

@Nubias Next week, you'll get your wish.

[mattwo7]

@Nubias Come to think of it, he's died before. But only as part of a gambit involving Manti channeling his inner batman.

[samuraiko]

You guys forgot Synapse! Where is he? (And whatever happened to that huge argument that BAB is not a member of the Phalanx? He is, he's not, he is!)

[mattwo7]

@samuraiko He's one of the Surviving Eight. I think they're starting to use "Freedom Phalanx" instead of "the Surviving Eight". I dunno.
