I've added Dark to my watch list; soon as my finances get better, I'll request her services.

Very nice piece you have there Kat! Ill tell you what impresses me most is the fact that it was colored with marker.

[/ QUOTE ]

I know, right?

[/ QUOTE ]

I have the original piece that Brandon sent to me in marker as well. He had to touch mine up though, due to some confusion about Comet's colors.

But I still love the original as much as the recolored version.

I really hope it's not anything to do with the 5th Column. Enough of them already. Let's get some super hero stuff in the mix.

I hope this clears up some of your additional questions and concerns.

If anything, you just reminded me how *dated* this game is becoming.

Seriously? You guys keep complicating the most simple "gaming" experiences with these anal-retentive "not so fast" systems.

People game and they game *fast* - why do you insist on working [censored] backwards in a market full of platform games that keep the players moving faster? The slower this game gets, the quicker folks move on to playing something else.


The Merit reward system wasn't necessary. It punishes 10% of a surviving player base that got fed up with the same old "grindy" Task Force content after 4+ years in took matters into their own hands to make it interesting. You shoulda used the time spent making "merit rewards" to update a bunch of the Year One TF's.


We play because we want excitement - not because we want rewards. Develop a content system that works to this philosophy and the playerbase will come back in droves.

[/ QUOTE ]Speak for yourself on this. I have been here since the begining all there is left is rewards. Most of the fun is only in the new stuff. I dont see the reasoning behind all the complaints on the stuff like the Eden trial and Katie. Katie isnt a big deal because my toons mostly did it to level fast. The Eden trial isnt a big deal due to it being currently bugged where you have to be the right level to start it. I can count on 1 hand the number of times I did the Eden trial. I cant see that many folks doing it. Villainside the only real nerf was the first sf but I can understand why devs gave it that value. The rewards overall for tf/sfs are mostly balanced. The only thing I see is clearly out of whack is the LRSF which should give more merits considering the risk of failure if your team isnt good.

[/ QUOTE ]

Heh, I was just about to post a rebuttal but found that Ryu had already done it for me.

I too was here since the beta. I've left a couple of times, but not because the game wasn't going fast enough for me. Heck, I solo mostly because I like to take my time when I'm playing the game.

Bayani scores again. Awesome piece of art, man.

Arcanaville, what are you going to fix next?

[/ QUOTE ]

I was thinking America, but I should really give Obama a shot at it first.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is why you rule, Arcanaville.

*continues to pray at--

Wait. None of you saw that.

[ QUOTE ]
so this happens every time an announcement of openings for commissions is made?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think that'd be an accurate estimate

I already commented on dA, but I still love this piece.

Yay! Happy Birthday, Brandon!

Go tell PlayNC, thou who passest by,

Changed it to keep the same feel as the quote from the movie. Hope ya don't mind, Daemodand.

Well, I guess Jack was full of hot air when he insisted CoH was still going strong because LOOK! Cryptic is hiring. Ah, well. A Sam always forgives. But he never forgets.

Just the same, it's amazing how much cool stuff 15 people have been able to come up with. What perplexes me is what others have mentioned, as well - the content the Surviving 15 came up with was superior in every way to the all the content that came before. The last few Issues, even if I may not agree with all that was added, were easily the best thing that's happened to the game, by far. Well, after the addition of CoV, but that's a little more than "an Issue"

My hat's off to you, guys, for being able to do so much pretty much each on his or her own. Amazing work out there. While your team was being downsized, all I kept thinking was how this game was only getting better and better. Sure had me fooled!

I'd also like to address specific thanks to BaBs for taking SO much time out of his life to post on the forums and keep us all informed and involved. I'd also like to thank him for being so cool as to accept AND respond to PMs, and do so with surprising speed. Hell, I had one PM answered within something like 15 minutes of sending it. Plus, it takes a REAL man to be called BaBs and still keep going strong

And, of course, I have to thank Castle, as well, for braving the frustration of being the fall guy for every whine on the board and proudly wearing the bullseye with dignity and stoicism while still keeping us well informed of not just the bottom line, but also why it was decided on.

Yeah, doom or no doom, I think we may well have the best development team ever

[/ QUOTE ]

Well said! Even though I only really keep paying for board access (pretty much; my comp's in rough shape and I don't want to tax it, and I'm waiting for a little more variety in mission types), I have to say I don't feel I've wasted a dime of money that I've spent sporting this fine game.

If/when I get a new comp and missions get beyond 'go in, beat all the NPCs', I'll be happy to be playing.

Very cool.

But...
