But we still need more War Witch, Apex and Horus goodness in game!

So maybe you can sneak them into some of the new missions upcoming?

Some of your fans demand more! MORE! MORE!

If there's no debt, so no harm was done, then all in fun. If there was debt, even though it was on test, I would have been unhappy as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

.... Why? Debt is ridiculous to worry about when it's an anniversary event.

I mean ... if it's your 30th birthday party and someone squirts everyone on the lawn with whipped cream and then turns on the sprinklers, you'll still have FUN. That's the point. It was a game, within a game.

We all knew there would be monsters. Heck, I went BACK to make sure I got in on some of that monster action. Because it's FUN.

Following the rules of Pocket D? Who cares? It's a backstory that *practically no one cares about* anyway, live or test.

It's *on test*! Test is, whether you like to admit it or not, NOT our playground normally. It's the devs' and they can do with it what they will. They can in fact SCRUB IT BARE of any trace of our characters, SGs and bases. Yeah they'd piss a lot of people off, but we'd get over it...

Sheesh the things people go through to throw a terrific party, and the lack of comprehension about the 'fun' to be had at them... The place was a SLIDESHOW. I was laughing so hard the whole time blasting and healing and blasting and healing... It was 20 times better than any other fight anywhere in the game.

I'm wondering how many other people encountered this problem and nothing was done about it before the deadline.

The devs/staff need to consider that this problem *did* occur more than once (I've seen posts) and clearly the choice to use this software should have tipped em off that if something was wrong... they need to fix it to be FAIR to everyone...

Ah, but Libris, if you had responded to messages, then our distress signal would have been answered, and we wouldn't all be dead right now...

LOL - .... you know she was sitting back with the others watching all the carnage, right? and probably LAUGHING her head off? I know I would be!

Yeah the Wentworths buildings really ... reallllly changed the landscape. I don't like how they took out the huge office building in Atlas, only to leave that one single mission door nub standing there.... and instead didn't take out that ratty old warehouse/apartment complex which is still there nearby.

Yeah see, there's the difference in the PD instances: some got villains and some didn't. It looks like those which did, got the big fights. I believe PD 2 was left out of that, because even by the time I got back from a mostly exploratory STF, pd4 was still where the action was, no mention of 2, and then 8 got the brunt of the late-late night monster attacks.

2 had the best party though

It looked like whoever was in charge of War Witch was the real deal too, she's always a lot of fun

Remember when the arena building project advanced and we got big concrete slabs but the NPC workers were still inside?

[/ QUOTE ]

Ohhhhh my god. I never saw that, that's hilarious!!


Other changes that I've seen but not taken the time to sort through my screenies (I have some 12 thousand screenshots so that's a little intimidating to go back and check whether I have one in the same direction/area as the others)...

Faultline in particular is one that I'd like to see a concerted effort of screenies before and after. I loved the old faultline, but the new one is just as good for different reasons.

We should start getting up on Boomtown, because I strongly suspect that with the construction in the north corner of Steel Canyon there will be some changes and updates there.

Skyway's tram is in the southern section, right where those 'step pyramid' stairs are. nothing much changes but that area does look different now. And THANK GOODNESS it's a green line That'll take you right from the bottom of Skyway to Icon in no time flat!

I have a few pieces taken from Oranbega that have shown the added complexity to the graphics over time, some of those 'eye windows' and designs on floor and wall have grown more colorful and complicated over time. They were gorgeous to begin with but there was a bit where I noticed, hey! That's glowing!

The worst part? Peolple begging for a rez. Damnit boy! It took you longer to ask for that rez than it would have to run back from the hospital!

[/ QUOTE ]

That was kinda funny - and so was Recluse and his cronies attacking the hospital, which made using it a bit dangerous

[/ QUOTE ]

They learned from the last Event. They camped the hospitals for I think it was Cuppa's party, or one of the prior anniversary shindigs

Errr, we've only had one villain group leave. Unless the Rularuu are coming back into town.

They never left. They're in that place, the Shadow Shard? *bring a teleporter*.

Gosh where could you possibly have gotten that crazy idea from?!

I was going to have my leather corset outfit on under my shirt, but I couldn't get the bulky wrinkles out. :/ ....

Er, *almost everyone* got a title. The devs and LH / Ex were handing out titles like crazy. I've never seen so many yellows titles.

Thing is: some of us got there early, some got there late. You can't expect them to be there forever. They have to sleep too.

it IS only test. We'll get our 3rd anniversary badges on live for real

happy birthday Masterdx! What a cool way to spend it lol!

I had such a blast!!

Thank you devs, w00t and everyone who came, this was such a magnificent event!!

I hung out at pocket d 2 since that's where I arrived at 230 pacific...

Back Alley Brawler in the monkey cage

BaB fights the monkeys!

Dirtwolf and many others watch Back Alley Brawler in action

He fought himself! More than once!

And you've gotta love his line there: I PWNT MYSELF!!

Positron made it to Pocket D

And Lighthouse bless his soul got the CHALET open for us!

((I have one lonely crappy picture of Ex flying... everyone was so aura-heavy it was very hard to get good shots! ))

War Witch went outside and had fun on the slopes with us! (It was hilarious watching her ski backwards, actually )

War Witch dancing!

At PD 4 there were MANY, MANY monsters to fight!

Monsters that slammed us - but were eventually defeated! And later they went to 8... I think they still may be fighting at 11 pm pst

But the best part of tonight...

RR finally got a title (could have been a slightly better one but hey, a title's a title! )

Wow that turned out really cool! I really need to drop on the forum more often... find out second hand lol.

Yeah please - if we're going to be able to buy the time cards themselves.... could we please, PLEASE be able to actually BUY them in a store? For almost a year most computer/game stores didn't even have COH or COV, one or two copies of the deluxe COV if you're really lucky and they hadn't cleared their shelves in a while, and ONLY the time cards were left.

With the demise of the CompUSA I just bought 3 of the last 5 COV time cards (at a nice discount... heh and leaving those last 2 for maybe ... maybe next week...). But that's it, no more, I haven't seen them anywhere but there in ages.

And for what it's worth, I'd be happy to test drive it for you

Don't forget that Copyright ONLY covers *exactly what you show the copyright office*. It does NOT cover extras that are added later, such as artwork.

So your script will be 'safe' but once you add artwork that copyright *does not apply to it*.

I'd definitely take a few people and have them read it and critique before you go all out on 50 issues. Having run a comic store I can tell you that a lot of books *shouldn't run* that long. Or, need some kind of help along the way, so that hard work is pretty much null and void.

The process is a lot more complicated than just finding an artist - sometimes some scenes will not work the way you originally think they ought, and have to be changed, etc.

Anyway I'd recommend holding off on copyrighting until you've got a product to sell. Get a few people to sign a simple NDA and hold them to that as a contract not to give it away, and get feedback.

Why did you rename yourself Inane_Fool? -_-

Well, despite people saying I'm not... I really am... I'm rather lonely too... I need a hug... and a jester's hat.

[/ QUOTE ]

Seeeeeeee - he IS lonely!

*hug* As an artist, I know what it's like to have one person point out whatever flaws or other opinions might be out there, and have that hurt a bit. So I kinda jumped in. *splish*

>_> ... looks at sharks.... <_<

*jumps back onto little island*

And for the record I don't quite look like Marcy, but I *do* have glasses....

I have to agree with Kilo - he's one person - and admittedly an outsider in the field of the in-jokes.

People who don't get the in-jokes *are not in on them*. I don't even get half of them. But I'm willing to just look at the ones that are there and LAUGH because they're still funny no matter what.

I really do think that your stuff is hilarious, LJ, and remember this addage:

If one person says something, that's their opinion.

If ten people say the same thing, there might be something to it.

So you've got one lonely guy telling you he doesn't get it. And about 3 dozen others telling you they do. Go with the masses. If he doesn't get it, he could have *stopped reading them* just like any other thing he doesn't get.

The reason I replied to E's post and said exactly what I said, was "you finally referenced Marcy". Finally? This isn't peanuts world. That's where I think E's confusion has led him to think this strip is something it's not. As that Marcy character (heee lol! but I call no one 'sir!') I felt the need to intervene. I don't think you get it, E, so ..... kindly step out to another strip and enjoy it to whatever extent you can please, but LJ's parody isn't for you, clearly. b'bye. You hurt LJ's feelings and place what everyone else has really been enjoying at risk. None of us care for that. We all want more.

*slavering fangirl* I want more.

[ QUOTE ]

If you went by them being of a batty variety.... it would be a Colony of Vampyres. Sure... not as funny, but that's what it is... a colony...

I still like the style and I like that you finally referenced Marcy, but I just can't find the funny in most of these... I don't know... it's like they are very in jokey. *shrug*

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you're missing that this is more of a COH character parody than a Peanuts parody.

Keep em coming, LJ!

Coool. That's a very nice pic. 'nice' being relative of course

I made a toon for st Patty's day based on that legend too. And won a costume contest with her
