    So, you are made to feel incompetent when you continually best Graves and every other member of your 'Villain Group' and are singled out by one of Recluse's lieutenants and then force the group to acknowledge you as their new leader? I don't think 'incompetent' means what you think it means.

    So, you are made to feel like your hand is being held on a... wait for it... **tutorial** arc? I don't think 'tutorial' means what you think it means.

    What we saw which spurred the reaction was a cell phone snapshot from a player at a convention. Paragon was showing off other features of Freedom and Issue 21 and some other unfinished changes happened to be in the mix.

    What was Paragon supposed to do: Not show off anything at a trade show because some aspects aren't finished? Or wait til everything is done and delay launch so that they can show off a finished product at trade shows?

    Positron and Noble Savage both posted that it was not finished and they would be making further changes based on player input.


    But neither the obviously unfinished nature of a cell phone snapshot or the very words of Developers were enough to stop a good panic attack (cf. Market Pricing).
  4. Check the distance on the waypoint as you approach the door to really make sure it's the right door.

    Otherwise, try relogging.

    10, 15, and 20.

    If you become level 11, then you can't do any of the Moral Choice missions of Nova, and so on..

    What's more worrying were the hysterical reactions from the players that saw an unfinished product.

    The CoT in tights were never the intended end product. They fully intended to cover the tights with more clothing.

    The very bright garish colors... now *that* was the intention. And when they got feedback, they pulled that back a bit.

    If people waited til the actual rollout ("Whatya think?"), and gave reasoned reponses ("Disappointed no actual robes, but, if going with the new look, tone down the colors"), then this epic thread of doom wouldn't have had to exist.
  7. PM Zwillinger and The Dark Watcher. They're both logged in right now.
  8. They reverted back to the old code of not putting an inline color setting for user names, so, I reverted the skins back to the old format. All the changes I made in the past week are now undone.

    Staff Fighting

    I downloaded a copy of that video and am ready to repost it once it would be OK to.

    And no, I won't email anyone a copy. Please don't PM me about it.

    I did try removing this section:



    but it doesn't seem to return to the default colors (no goldenrod etc).

    Clue?
    Change this line:

    #posts a.bigusername > span {

    to this:

    #posts a.bigusername {

    The Done Club

    1,275 now. By tomorrow night, I'll have the 4 Villainside only badges, and hopefully, the 6 Underground Trial badges making me Done again except for the four new day jobs.
  13. I visited GC on Virtue tonight. I was the only one there.

    I don't think it's going to be *that* missed.
  14. Can the Beam Rifle really disintegrate the skateboarders in my parking lot, or is it just cosmetic?
  15. Everyone should go to Exalted and pester "Zombie Man" to write an Issue 21 Guide.
  16. Grrrrrrr.

    My new skins change all posters' names to one color, even the rednames. That's because the new html doesn't create styles for different poster types anymore.

    So, if you want to say good-bye to the Goldrenrod, you have to say good-bye to the reddened names.

  18. The new color even overwrote my Stylish Zombie Skins (see link in my sig).

  19. Zombie Skins updated for new forum html tweaks.

    Zombie Skins now overwrites the goldenrod color of the poster's names with the whatever we like.

    For those who like to code, I added "> span" force the overwrite in this section:

    Code:
    /* Change color and size for user name in a post */
         #posts a.bigusername > span {
           color: #edde95 !important;
           font-size: 16px !important;
          }
    And in the Villain Skin, this section of code was commented out because it was only used for the Hero Skin. But with the changes, I enabled it and used the standard background color for my default villain version skin:

    Code:
    /* Change background of top pulldown menu bar  */
     .vbmenu_control { 
        background: #693430 !important; 
       }
     
    /* Change background of top category title bar  */
     .tcat { 
        font-weight: bold !important; 
        font: 16px Verdana !important; 
        background: #693430 !important; 
       }

    I accept your apology.
  22. I couldn't get the copy-piggs-from-beta trick to work.

    But the entire d/l only took 30 min. for me.
  23. WRT Necro-post:

    Many Guides are subject to necro posting because they're info on the game that changes over time, or, new players have questions about old content.

    At least I got it moved to Player Guides before GR forum got nuked.

    You don't ever *have to* collect any number of Moral Choice Missions or you don't *have to* switch sides ever. When you hit level 20, one or the other crossover contact will be active for you and you can decide whether to go to Paragon and be a Hero or to Rogues and be a Villain.

    And its WAI that some mission chains have more Moral Choice Missions than others.
  25. Within a few hours of Exalted going online, @Eep Eep grabbed Zombie Man.

    They can have it. I don't plan on having multiple ZMs or moving ZM to Exalted (permanently).

    But if I ever get an offer to buy it, I'll file a /petition that I'll escalate to Korea if I have to in order to punish name claim jumpers.
