    Help..........

    Look in your contacts list- a newspaper will be at the top of the list- click on it and it gives you a selection of 3 missions- pick which one you want, after a series of 3-5 missions go talk to your "broker' again and they will give you a mayhem mission- being low lvl' you will go to atlas park. They are fun at higher lvl's but lower lvls they can be a little tough.

    Welcome to The Forums!!

    Yeah, 5 stars for teh funni-

    Don't forget the dedicated leech of the group- usually the stalker or dominator is looked upon as the leech- but a true leech is someone that could actually contribute to a successful completion of the RSF, but due to their leeching and non-contribution thanx to their incompetence, or AT confusion (defenders used as a blaster, scrapper used as a tank) or just out right stupidity will help lead to a failure with much name calling and finger pointing.

    Great guide!!

    I have no idea how to find an artist.

    I have eight thirteen-page comics written and I am determined to get them on the interweb.

    I can't find anyone to draw them though. How does a guy go about finding an artist?

    I'm not super into the comics scene so I can only give a few examples but style-wise I really dig Chris Bachalo (pencils on X-Men) and Oda Eiichiro (One Piece).

    I'm willing to pay an artist but I don't know how much is fair and etc... I'm only looking for black and white - no colors. My only special need is vehicles (cars, diesels) from the seventies. Timetable-wise I'd like to post a new issue to the site each week.

    So yeah - any thoughts?

    All of these, very much including the name slip, invariably leads one to conclude that there's a certain level, "Meh, [censored] 'em." attitude going on. [/rant]

    Not at all true. If that were my attitude, I wouldn't even be trying to get some changes through. I can understand why you think that would be the case, though.

    In an upcoming patch, here are a few things you'll see:
    Increased EDIT:Maximum ranges for attacks like Blaze.
    Some improvements for */Fire (No, no powers were switched out. No Fiery Embrace, I'm afraid. )
    Some improvements for Fire/*
    A very minor improvement for Gadgets...I mean, Devices! (Yeah, it was a dumb mistake -- typing in haste and all of that.)

    I have some ideas for other changes/improvements, but there is no ETA on when or if I'll get them in.

    Edit: Tyed minimum when I meant Maximum. One day, I'll learn to proofread.

    You're gonna make Turret TP-able again?.....duh duh duuuuuuhhhhh

    Maybe they will give Auto Turret movement abillity, like voltaic sentry. Give it tank treads or make it a hovercraft.

    Add the giant monster alerts to the base computer feature. Have some NPC raiding, instance stuff.

    Find a way to post screenines on the wall as plaques.

    Have base rewards also reflect task forces completed- like you get a letter from Posi saying thanx for doing the task force and defeating....whatever.

    Get. Base. Raids. Working.

    The problem with the prestige system is that it feels like work. Actual work. The influence/prestige exchange is wacked- players are used to getting a butt load of influence, but now they get a little bit of prestige- that DOES make a differnce. Like the task they just performed wasn't THAT important. Like it was just work- not super heroics or something.

    Let individual players place stuff but pay for it using influence.

    Have the bases be individulaized- not just one portal for all bases. Like your sg base "front" is a strip club for girls/guys/both/robots/alien and "other"- Let the players some how establish secret identities through the base missions.

    Have a message board system in place- a lot of big sg's have their own websites- this is something you should implement- the leader wants to get a group together for ToT'ing? Post it on the message board/sg computer.....

    Have the players find their base ransacked a few times and they have to find out who did it-

    Just a few ideas.

    LOL! Actually, the site has some great "weird news" articles daily. I have no idea why the guy feels it necessary to throw in the T&A.

  13. Nice!!! The drones are our friends!!

    I think the construction takes about anywhere from 5-15 minutes, not to long but not too short.

  14. Thanx for the screenies! With the unpadded sinister option on the gloves, is there a way to have the banded sleeves that go up to the shoulder without having the chest/top part?

    I want to have long gloves not tied to a top........
  15. HEH....I LOVE the jump jet!!

    (Lvl 30 character) I SJ'd from Archmage Tarixus, in Shark Head to the ferry -I measured in game and that was a distance of .60 miles.....

    The only probelm is that it doesn't warn you about needing a parachute.....hitting the ground and losing 75% of your health is a bit of a shock......

    After numerous PMs, I figure I should address this.

    First, we know about this. It was noted as happening during Beta. At that time, we decided to watch the PvP data and see if it proved a problem. Stalkers are not doing poorly in PvP at any level range.

    Second, I discussed this with our QA and programmer and have filed it as a bug. It is low priority, however, since Stalkers are still the best in PvP according to our data. As such, there is no ETA for a fix.

    Third, there is a workaround for this issue. I'm certain you all can figure out what it is, if you don't already know.

    Just to reiterate on Placates mechanics:
    Placate, the power has two portions: Placate (the effect) and a Hide equivalent.
    Any attack or effect on the original target will break the Placate, but not the hide -- only a new attack on any target breaks that.
    In PvE, we've made the AI ignore Effects when placated, so the AI still ignores you (most of the time.)

    Placate is a tool. It is a powerful tool, but it has limitations. Learning those limitations and how to work around them is a large part of gameplay for Stalkers.

    Thank you _Castle_, this is exactly what I wanted, an answer- "Yes, it's bugged, it's low priority so not gonna get fixed anytime soon" Above and beyond an honest answer, and frankly more than what was expected. Thanx for taking the time to address this.
  17. I love it!! Did the player of Ms. Japan want the changes made or was it up to the artist? Just wondering- I dunno if I like the changes to the pain pads on the shoulders. Reasons being I was very surprised to see how well the actual pain pads in the game went with the concept/design of Ms. Japan. I like the pain pads, I just could never find a good look for them.

    Great great pic anyway!

  18. Heh...she looks to be the kinda girl I would like to know better!!

    Both pieces look great & creepy. Is this "The Widowed" who used to post on these boards under the same tag name?
  19. Nice guide- but I don't understand the "Empty" when explaining your slotting.

    Cover "art"

    Nice!!

    Very very nice!!

    The one cover with Clockwork king is way dark though, but that is most likely my comp.

    If I had one bit of critizism (sp?)

    Add. More. Chicks!! This cannot be stressed enough. I get this whole "Brokeback Mountain Vibe" looking at these.......especailly with Pink Cowboy in the mix.

    BUT, hey- if that is your thing- cool man, cool. Pay me no mind.

    Post Script-
    Chicks (well to be frank, BOOBS ----> (o)(o) <----like these) sell books.

    Hope to see more!! Definetly.

    That is all.



    Okay...helpful hint- not critsizm- the eyes being inherintly (christ what the hell is up with my spelling?! nvm) The eye being lazy is drawn to white, so white helps make your picture more "eye appealing". I learned this from none other than Calvin and Hobbes Creator and Cartoon Jedi Master, Bill Watterson. It was in one of the C&H collected works.

    Man....sorry rambling....

    K'.......Now, THAT is all.

    A picture!

    Nice! I would have made the connecting wire more prevelant to show exactly what is going on, but not everybody wants their picture "laid out bare". It's good to have some people go "huh?" and not get it.

    Very nice picture again!! Glad you are happy with it.
