Quote:...Why does that statement fill me with dread?Originally Posted by Bronze Knight
Their switching over to the NC soft launcher soon so that wont be an issue. -
It was apparently 'in the works'. It was more a case of making things look good, rather than ending up with what happened in reality, which was blue 'smurf' zombies. Which looke daft, apparently.
So, yes, hopefully it's somewhere in the pipe. But I wouldn't bet on it being soon yet. -
Hm, using the updater is quite good. It's hard to miss... However; I'd also bet a lot of people either bypass or skip through the updater quite quickly. I know I do, unless theres a patch.
Having an in-game display (such as the good suggestion someone did or using the City Info Terminals for Hero Side, and maybe the steet vendor NPCs Redside) would probably be useful too. Not everyone knows about /gmotd etc. -
Yeah, something is seriously out of whack with Enemy A.I. at the moment. They seem to have had added cowardice programming recently...or again. I lose track. Either way, its seriousl annoying and could bear looking at with some scrutiny.

Quote:I agree with the 'No benefit', disagree with SG colours being pointless. Myself and various others in some of the SGs im part of find use for it, and it saves having to effectively waste a costume slot on an alt coloured costume. Now, if as I have suggested before they gave us 5 more costume slots, I could see a point to thatOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
These days, SG colours have no point, nor does SG mode. Just let people devote a costume slot to a SG uniform and have SG colours highlighted in the editor so it's easier to match them if one were so inclined. After all, an actual SG costume is far superior to just some random recolouring of an ordinary costume. Or, if you must, leave the mode in the game, but only make it change costumes, as described in the original suggestion.
The point of the prestige/inf penalty was originally to make people toggle into and out of SG mode. You can't earn prestige in SG mode so you'll want to turn it on and you can't earn inf with it on so you'll want to turn it off. This has no benefit in the current game and should therefore be expunged.
That analogy makes no sense. That would just mean that both would get recognition, not either or, or in lesser value.Quote:Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
You see it as a penalty. I don't. *shrug* Though both of our views end up fitting the slider mentioned above perfectly well.
INF has, admittedly, recently been "officially demoted" to just plain money, but when painted as a measure of acclaim, it makes "sense" (just follow me here) that if you go "Yes, I was the one that stopped Dr. McEvilSon!" (non SG mode,) you'd get all the recognition. But if you take a step back and say "But I couldn't have done it without the support of Hero People!" (SG mode) they get a spot in the limelight as well.
Lets face it, Inf is, was, and always will be cash. It's the games monitary system. Trying to pretend it is anything but is rather pointless, especially since it was concieved in the mind of the almighty Jack Emmert.
Penalising peopls personal earnings in favour of Supergroup earnings, which should be a relatively painless part of the game, just strikes me as stupid, especially these days. -
I'd rather they just axed the stupid endurance cost both Tough and Weave have. And on all the Leadership toggles, along with hover. I simply don't understand why they all cost so much endurance, in comparison to Primary/Secondary powers and usefullness.

Garn! Beaten to the punch. Ah well, my next piece is lining up nicely, so I'll get you yet!
Really, this is mostly about giving myself stuff to draw and actually sticking to it, along with pushing outside my little niche comfort zone. And getting myself out a bit more in the City Of art groups So, where I end up score wise is second to having a good time and getting a bit of notice.

Strewth, I certainly didn't expect to come that high!
Hmm...that means I need to step up my game face...

Oh, and "Next time, CR! Next time!"

Apparently its the LRSF/STF. Unless we have different targets to the yanks

Ugh...
Right. Second round ever versus the Phalanx for Alpha, then. And THIS time I'm packing every damn trick in the book.
They. Are. Going. DOWN! -

Imagine a team being able to lead with a Stalker that can confuse, -tohit, and moderately damage an entire group and live to tell the tale.

Or, a better idea;
Turn off the prestige/inf penalty.
Seriously. What's the flaming point of penalising people for playing in SG mode? I'm sure this made some wonderful logic to Mr Emmert during his rule, but it makes bugger all sense to me as a player and SG member. The two are not paralel quantities. Inf is for you, prestige is for the SG. Why should one affect the other? It's stupid, pointless and arbitrary, and I can't stand any of those three. -
None taken, it's just that calling an artist 'unimaginative' may result in some very imaginative comebacks to said comment

Honestly? It doesn't look as bad as I thought it might.
Re-posted from a pic taken by Warden;
So...I'd say it should be feasible. Given how quickly the animations are over, as well. But hey. -

Quote:The DE use a certain type of skeleton, faik, either huge or monster which is an NPC only rig. Giving them alternate movement might be possible, though, and would look rather cool.Originally Posted by AzureSkyCiel
On the note of NPCs making use of this, I think it would be cool if the DE got a makeover. Like the Lesser Devoured could use the ghoul movements and be smaller than a regular Devoured, which could use the beast run, and finally the Greater Devoured using an Ember Demon Skeleton.
War Wolves/werewolves could benefit from this as an upgrade too.
I'd rather they upgrade the damn mutts they have in the Council and 5th Column; damn those things look ugly, and not in a Hydra 'purposefully creepy and ugly' way. More a low poly, badly made kind of ugly. Give them the new heads and tails at least. Or the old 'monstrous' wolf heads, if nothing else, make them look a bit less derptastic. -
Quote:Considering Posi at one point said something very close to/along the lines of 'Those waiting for animal parts should look forward to the Mutant Pack', not really no. Sure, people assume a lot, but I don't think anyone honestly expected the stuff we actually got in the Mutant pack.Originally Posted by Xzero45
I understand why we're getting these parts, and I'm not gonna go "Ew, you all suck" for it. Although personally I hope we get a wider variety of animals that I've mentioned time and again, but that's not the point.
What I want to say is, I hope all the people that raged about the Mutant Pack not having anthro pieces have egg on their faces now that they have an entire pack dedicated to animals.
I honestly don't understand why some posters seem to have some overiding need to needle people who ask for certain things. -
Tanker, level 50, Invul/Energy. Had wasted so many respecs on him and time and such, and then EM got nerfed. So I re-rolled him as Invul/Elec and have enjoyed him so much more. I can't wait to get the last 20 levels and get him alpha slotted to be back to his old, bad*ss self.
-
Eugh. Glad I left mine all on default, from the sounds of it. That sounds horribad.

If they could created 'Aura' versions of weapons, then they could probably add them in as a drop down option.
For example;
Broadsword - Broadsword
-Dropdown
-Firey Sword
-Ice Sword
-Shock Sword
-Light Sword
-Dark Sword
Etc. That'd be the way I'd do it, anyhow. -
For a long time I have found the NCSoft Account and Store management to be a broken, clunky and godawful pile of shite.
I hope they correct that sometime soon. -
