<b>VICTORY</b> is the decided server for release!

Ok, a few things to keep note of:

- Victory was the original Name Reservation server, this means you could have the name you want on it, but could mean the server is overly packed and laggy and even full at times since people want their names.

- Pinnacle and Freedom were the original Playtesting servers, a ton of names will be taken, and alot of people will likely stick to this servers. Even moreso than above, these will likely be packed, and sometimes full. But they will always have tons of players to hook up with if needed.

- Team colours for the NS Supergroup are going to be some form of dark green + dark blue. This means your costume does not have to be this colour. What this means is once a supergroup has been formed, they can choose a primary and secondary colour set and when you join a group, you can choose to have your uniform colours change to the supergroup colours so you look alike. This is not mandatory at all, just an option!

- We need a name, please post replies of any ideas.

- Stop by #NSCoH

- VOTE!

    wewt!

    ok, I am sorta leaning to guardian... not sure why (mention of it being the unoffical EU server)

    I would like to stay away from prime(freedom) and pin b/c of the swamped factor (overloaded servers can realy suck)...

    so yah, my vote goes on guardian (I guess)

    The most important thing is benig united as a community. Since voting is the democratic way of doing things, whatever gets the most votes will be the server we choose. If 2 are close maybe we'll do a second vote w/ just 2 choices. But the reason for voting is so there's no confusing/bickering in the community about what server you should join (if you want to party with us that is. By no means are you obligated to).

    As far as super groups go, I think something like "Natural Selectors" or something cheesy would be great. Its gotta be cheesy, its comic book style :)

    I agree with everything Thansal said...but I want my name so I picked the only server I reged it on, victory. Not a big deal but I would rather have Medbot then Medbot(withtackedonnumbers).

    I voted for Victory since I think it will be a fairly active server, while not so insane it's laggy and full like the 2 beta servers.

    I believe that you can have a character on each server. So why not just use one not yet listed, or in use as of yet... say, Infinity.. to JUST have a supergroup of TSA Marines?

    At that point you keep your character(s) on the other servers, but can set up scheduled times for get-togethers on Infinity (edit: Or even better, Protector! It'd suit the theme) to go out and kill stuff as a brigade?


    And just so you know, they changed the name reservation procedure at the last minute... you could have one name on each of the four servers. But if you had MORE than one character on a given server at shutdown-time, you received NO reserved name on that server for when it all comes back up on the 25th.

    I also vote for Squad Five as the supergroup name. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> Natural Selectors sounds a little too cheesy, but S5 is taken directly from NS heritage. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    This game interests me... I may consider signing up for a few months to play with you guys <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Gotta wait till I get a new videocard and some $$.

    And as for the supergroup name, squad 5 is perfect! "Can take out a onos with a saltshaker!"
  • RenegadeRenegade Old school Join Date: 2002-03-29 Member: 361Members
    I think we need to think up something a bit more super than "Squad 5", unless you wanna call it S5 (Which, if I may say so has a kind of look and ring to it)
  • TalesinTalesin Our own little well of hate Join Date: 2002-11-08 Member: 7710NS1 Playtester, Forum Moderators
    Squad Five is super enough... after all, (one subset of) the bad guys are the Fifth Column. Super-tech Nazis.

    And as for a video card... the minimum requirements are a GeForce 2. Of course, you probably will get crud for framerates, and won't get as many of the neat effects... Remind me to turn on 6x FSAA and 16x aniso, and toss up some screenies. I'm only running around with 4x and 4x, respectively, as I never bothered to change it.
    Still pretty, but I see jaggies on a few things like power lines. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Trust me, this engine looks great, but also runs like a dream.

    Also, I would have slight reservations about the name "Squad five" though, as another villan group is called "The 5th colum" which is perhaps a little too close. How about just calling it by the full name of the TSA marines: "The Trans-system authority" and be done with it?
  • NecroticNecrotic Big Girl&#39;s Blouse Join Date: 2002-01-25 Member: 53Members, NS1 Playtester
    I voted for Guardian based solely on the fact that according to a thread on the CoH forums it will be the unofficial EU server after launch.
  • NecroNecro &lt;insert non-birthday-related title here&gt; Join Date: 2002-08-09 Member: 1118Members
    Guardian will be the unofficial euro server.

    Virtue will be the unofficial RP server.
  • ThansalThansal The New Scum Join Date: 2002-08-22 Member: 1215Members, Constellation
    For thos interested:
    If you live in the US (and probably canada) You can just go down to your local computer super store and pick up a copy (or order it online)

    for you EU People?
    You gotta import. For somereason there is NO EU support (sucks dont it?)

    good luck all <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    What's wrong with the name "Natural Selection"?

    How about "The Selectors", "The Selected"?

    I vote Pinnacle. I don't live on the same time frame as European.
  • ThansalThansal The New Scum Join Date: 2002-08-22 Member: 1215Members, Constellation
    yah, but if we have all of us together on the EU server then whn the ime DOES overlap, we will beable to play to gether with min lag.

    and for the rest of the time, we just play there as normal.

    I have the name "JC Denton" reserved on every server but Victory, and on Victory, I have "Lil' John." I probably won't use them, but they're fun to have.

    Alius insists on playing on Victory, as it's the server where he has "The MedBot" reserved (no silly version numbers this time!). I'll probably go with alius no matter what you guys do, as we make an excellent team; it would be nice to be in Squad Five, though.
  • TalesinTalesin Our own little well of hate Join Date: 2002-11-08 Member: 7710NS1 Playtester, Forum Moderators
    So make up a second character on the Squad Five server, and just bring it out to play when we all get together. Not too difficult, is it?

    I suppose not. We'll see how things turn out. Victory does have a good deal of votes.

    Wrong. The "Do you play CS?" poll (look up in the stickied posts) is quite new.

    Edit: Oh snap, I'm a nub. It's not there anymore.

    I'd wonder how many EU NSers we actually are going to have playing CoH, compared to the US players. Not a nationalist thing, just flat-out seems like there'll be more US players, given that we don't have to import it. :b
  • ThansalThansal The New Scum Join Date: 2002-08-22 Member: 1215Members, Constellation
    umm

    there is no EU server

    just that Guardian is East coast <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
