Death of Statesman

[Havic1137]

Lord Recluse: "Oh, Statesman....never again will I feel your masculine strength. It will not be the same as I barrel through Paragon City. Never again will I hear your voice calling out as you rush in to save the day and drive me into a wall...How I will miss our struggles.."

[leowyldemi]

i saw this coming for years, it was not really a surprise to me,it was a matter of time before they did it, it would have been more of a surprise if it was NOT statesman

[Energyone]

@leowyldemi Did you play the 6th story arc that came out this week yet? He's not the only one that dies...

[leowyldemi]

@Energyone

i saw that, trying to get a freind to help me do that one

[jasonisrobin234]

@Energyone Wait, does Manticore dies too? Because I thought he was kind of cool (a bit like a Douchebag) in the Comics.

[Energyone]

@jasonisrobin234 No, not Manticore...

[HiveFleetHydra]

Can someone type out what they say in all the text boxes? I can't read half of them.

[Energyone]

@HiveFleetHydra Play it in fullscreen - this was recorded in 1080p in fact

[Sneakyrabbi88]

YES THE WICKED WITCH IS DEAD HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAH FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY. And for all who dont know why Statesman was douchbag he made the ED he ruined the game for many and he is finally DEAD. PARTY OVER IN GALAXY......wait that place is gone......Party at Atlas!

[Energyone]

@Sneakyrabbi88 You think if things went back to the way they were before ED, that the game would be better?

[Sneakyrabbi88]

@Energyone Well depends really. Look how the game is now compaired to then how everything is made easy for players now than they use to be i found it more of a challange then compaired to now. But thats when i played from beta to live servers. And I still play mind you. But I just still hold hate on him for the nerfs.

[Energyone]

@Sneakyrabbi88 So things were more of a challenge when fire tanks herded entire maps into a dumper or when regen scrappers would stand in the middle of monster island and left the game running overnight to get damage/healing badges... that's pretty interesting. I've been there since beta and only took one 5 month break at around issue 16. I am under JayboH on the boards.

[MyIamamazing]

there killing him was done so shitty like they pulled it out last second :(

[LastRoninCoH]

HERE IS HOW it really went down... KNOW the Truth.... but It won't let me link it here =( Search: Last Ronin - Alternate ending

[TheShadow4211]

Even though I played the villain side most of the time when I was at CoH, I have to strongly disagree with them killing off Statesman. Statesman was the face of CoH and I think it was completely stupid of them to get rid of him like that. Watching that video just made me shake my head the whole time in disbelief. They could've made an epic battle out of it at least and not let him die like he wasn't even superpowered......

[AngelPhoenix033]

imho they killed him off the wrong way. ill explain 1) they let everyone know 3- months before it happened. which took away the "suprise part". 2) his death was abit too star warsy.

i would have killed off like a hero. not just run up and get electrocuted.

[Energyone]

@AngelPhoenix033 Well, we have two more parts to go in this story, so who knows...

[tzmakis]

I would like to see posi dying instead :D

[Energyone]

@tzmakis How come?

[MrTheKatalyst]

Get wrecked Statesman.

[cromwellaproval1]

Thanks for putting this up i wanted to see it again bums me out he's gone, But it was done very well now I can't wait for episode 6 and hope I get another shot at Wade

[Energyone]

@cromwellaproval1 No problem. I knew this would be a memorable event. You can run the arc over and over again, by the way.

[apoptartfairy]

This is cheesy as all hell, but I can't help but feel touched by it regardless. It was an oddly endearing send off for him.

[Andywaltfeld]

Hero with a red UI? Or does being Level 50/an Incarnate bestow upon you color tinting powers far beyond free players' imaginations?

[Energyone]

@Andywaltfeld It's orange, not red, and yes you can tint your UI - it's in the Graphics and Audio options.

[SomethingSudden]

@Andywaltfeld

Free players can tint their UI. They've always been able to do so, as far as I remember.

[PantsReduction]

Good riddance, Statesman is the worst!

[Energyone]

@PantsReduction Tyrant from Praetoria is worse, no?

[ChaosFox0]

Thanks for putting this up so fast. I got a phone call right in the middle of it, and missed part of the dialog. *sigh* I hate that he's gone, but I'm impressed that they did it.

[Energyone]

@ChaosFox0 Hey no problem. I was going to do it anyway and Samuraiko was asked to put up the unedited version, so I just did it for her.
