Dark Infinity: Magic Controller - Ill\Rad\Primal

Hey everyone, it has happened, finally, Dark Infinity finally Dinged 50 . And not only that, but during my run a lot of other people dinged the big 5-0. Their names, to be remembered by here to eternity are:

Dark Infinity
Polaris-X
Knite_____ (sorry knite, forgot the sencond part of your name :'()
Lucius


Praise us with good praises!

Probably because most of the audience, a long time ago, were nerds whose only role they wanted the woman to have were sex slaves.

Not that I disagree with them.....

We tested it, kind of, 3 nights ago. 8 People were set for the battle, only 5 could play. One got kicked as soon as the battle begun (arena kick bug).

It was just 1 battle, theorically 4-4. But nothing else happened after. And the tournament showed as canceled. Need to test again.

Ok Guys, I need to ask some question about the Tournament System on the Arenas. I didn't played much with Arena in geral, so I'm really lost here on how these do work, and may some of the heavy arena people here can give me some help, or direct to some post which can explain all the drill to me.

1. There are 2 kind of events, the Rolling tournament and the not Rolling. What exactly are the differences? Only that one will start ASAP.

2. How does registry happens, and how are fights arranged?

3. What are the prizes? And this is the most important. I remember, after I4 came, and they set the Tournament system, that you would get get a badge for each category you won. And an SG mate of mine commented about a custom Title. Is this working? I couldn't find the badges on http://www.badge-hunter.com

4. The events says 8+ players, what is the cap?

I will try to make it

The Med Bay is also pretty useful if you die in a Hazard zone. Saves you having to go to hospital in a totally different zone.

Also nice for Hami raids, it puts you back exactly where you died.

Yeah, specially if you are doing anything on the Shards. Dying and going back to the mission door in this case is really nice.

Checking on The City of Data it seems as 5% against players.

I appreciate that the five channel limit can be a problem for some people, but I'm afraid I don't quite see how five Global channels is not enough to replace one server-wide channel.

[/ QUOTE ]
Because they're fundamentally different? A server-wide channel is one that everyone on a server can be on. It's also one that, depending on how it's set up, people may be on unless they opt out of it.

Whereas a global channel is one that has to be opted into, and one that only those who have a spare channel out of their five available can actually join.

[/ QUOTE ]

First of All, thanks a lot Bridger for all the clarification here. You said that you posted something like this a while ago, I didn't read that and it is good to have such post again.

Now, about the problem, is not exactly that you have to opt in into a channel. The biggest issue is that we need something to talk server-wise and server-wise only. I remember a while ago that I joined a global called "DefiantBadgers", but I started to play a lot on Union. And I didn't want all that spam on my chat window, I could just then silent this channel on my union characters, but I need the same tool for them.

In fact, what is needed, as others said is a Broadcast server-wide probably diferent for Heroes and Villains, whose purpose will be to find teams, TF groups, etc.

In a game where many people have alts, and could be playing with them at a given point, this is quite need, IMHO.

[ QUOTE ]
The option is there for players to make serverwise channels and I am not being totally ignorant when I ask people not to chat in arena, I am directing them to /help for help and "global" for general chat.

[/ QUOTE ]

The Global is a global channel and goes in the 5-channel rule. Which do not solve the problem. And as far as I know you can't make a server-wise, you can only make globals.


[ QUOTE ]
although when there are people in a channel to be nothing but off topic that is the ingame equivalent of trolling.

[/ QUOTE ]

And smacking down people threating with petitions is grief and makes some people really [censored] of it. The way this whole mez is been dealt shows this. Tyl said it pretty well about the need for Bridger to set ground rules on this.

[ QUOTE ]
I'd just like to see a day where you could put arena in your main bottom chat tab and not have the tab rammed with rubbish with absolutely no chance of getting any arena related content sent to it. This is why many of the PvPers stopped reading Arena full time, or at all in some cases.

[/ QUOTE ]

And I would like a channel to warn everyone on the server that a given event will happen. And not bother the rest that is playing on any of the other 4 servers with it. And right now we have /ac for it. For both of the groups.

[ QUOTE ]
The solution is not just "I'm using Arena 'cos I can", that will just lead to wasted time for the GMs who tbh prolly have better things to do.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nor is "I will petition you because I disagree". Not everyone use arena 'cos they can. Some use it because it is what we have to use.

[ QUOTE ]
EDIT: "/send arena" does nothing and "arena" is not a default global channel sorry

[/ QUOTE ]

And that is quite strange, because all my chars are on the "arena" global, and I didn't add it to my account. Didn't you remove it from your list?

[ QUOTE ]

1st, global channel is a global channel and subject to the 5-channel limit of global channels. I am not a member of Global because of that reason.

[/ QUOTE ]

But IIRC correctly you had to leave that channel, because by default you belong to it. And any channel for Off-topicness will have the same problem, that is my point.

[ QUOTE ]

2nd, there is a global channel for random stuff, asking help, etc. It is called Forumites.

[/ QUOTE ]

Never heard of it. I've been away from the forums, only checked because of this thread.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
why don't the PvP crowd use the Global Arena Chat which everyone is a member by default

[/ QUOTE ]

Because the Arena channel is there for Arena/PvP releated chat?

[/ QUOTE ]

The same goes for the Global channel. My point is that the PvPers already have a global for that, the off-topicers(by lack of better word) do not have one. It is not fair with any of the groups to be trown out of the only good server-wide channel.

If you agree with this post, which, I do not. As robbie_redhat said, we have a problem now because of the 5 channels limit on globals. And, what I think its the biggest issue here, arena is the only widely known server-wide channel. Only Help has this too, and it is not default visible for most of the toons.

That was the main reason Arena was taken for the general chat on each server. If your reason for this plight, is to use Globals, why don't the PvP crowd use the Global Arena Chat which everyone is a member by default (just type /send Arena msg or bind "/bind <key> beginchat /send Arena "). It is diferent from the /ac.

The only solution for this, would be a new server-wide channel "General", "Server", anything, that is on the tab by default and anyone can check, then maybe, we can shift away from it. But that will take time, and bully tatics on the channel and on people because of that is far from the best solution.

Dark Out.

Since I just dinged 45, for the first time Dark Infinity will be there on the PA Drop Team. Ill\rad troller

The best to get it that I think, is trying to get some Master Illusionists together. 2 or 3 would do. And keep them confused without anyone attacking. When the Decoys appear, hit them to check the badge and wait. I think this strategy is here for some time already. I need it too, and if I'm in IP when you do it, I shall help

Damn, I won't be 45 on time

That is a tur problem, and one that **** me off a lot.

Three simple (IMHO) things would make the base edit too a lot better than now:

1. The commitiment of the design happening only after you finish creating it. So you can move at will rooms around the base prepering the new layout and make it happen only after. For example, I wanted a diferent design for my base from the current one, a design that was valid, but I couldn't move my current to that in a valid way, withouth losing Salvage-created items.

2. Corridors!!! I wanted my base to look like an office building floor, but there is no corridor...

3. Floors. Make some plots that have more than one floor with a stair somewhre. This would make for much more organized and beautiful bases. You could even, on this plot put an elevator to move between floors that you need permission to enter. So you can make a "social" and a "group-only" areas in your base.

Heck the ability to withdraw salvage-built items from the base and take than back to you would be good enough.

Ok, just for everyone to know, I'm not gone from CoH again, I just had some RL issues. I was on exams week on the Uni, and that completely ruled out playing CoH. After it, with the imminent release of Civ IV: Warlords, I came back to that addiction. This weekend, when I was coming back to CoH, my finally asked me to go visit them. 8 hours from home. I will be back only in august. But don't worry, I'm still here

happy late b-day mate, hope I can make to the next

Depending on time count me in. Another controller with confuse.
