    what about a "friend" channel of said name, so it works like MSN only in-game.
  3. tells for free members encourages the wrong ppl in the game, limiting them to replying and removing the part where they can start an PM makes it all the better.
  4. a premium player is most likely a veteran with at least 1-2 years of playing, it would only be fair if some restrictions are soften to make them at home.

    Your Face Here

    this system is somewhat already in fable 2, you let the sculpture make a statue of your character and the statue is there when you zone in and out.
    the only way a statue could work is when there is some kind of sculpture to make the statue, this will address the problem where the costume is changed on your character.
    the only problem is the MMO aspect of this, fable 2 is restricted to 2 players so it's easy to do, CoX is with thousands of players so the server database needs to keep track of all the statues.

    it's not a question of possibility, it's more a question of resources and memory space.
  6. i would like some really big scythes, more in the line of HUGE.
  7. i just want to say i really love what they are doing, now show them how F2P is really done paragon studios

    ps. don't you think it's a bit drastic to restrict even premium players from posting on the forums, not making a new thread ok but no post ether.....come on.

    There are many examples in the costume creator where your options are limited by a previous costume selection.
    i can't agree about the hair style issue, there are some styles possible even with a hat on.
    take the resistance hair style (female) for instance, it's flat at the top so it could work perfectly.
    the same with many other hair styles, the only issue here is that they need to make the same hat with different hair styles.
  9. the issue with back emblems is that it would be on the same slot your wings/backpack is, so when you choose the emblem you can't place anything els there.
  10. i personally don't think necro's have there set right ether, necro's don't really summon some zombies, it's more horrifying then that.
    when i was playing the necro for the first time i expected a GW kind of necro, this is more a "master of zombies" kind of necro.......ugh

    Ancient Japan!

    as long as he is in, i am sold.
  12. you could have a beast master with bow and arrows as weapon, it doesn't have to be high-tech to work
  13. the face doesn't have to have a CO kind of poly count (and the faces of CO are horrible, way to restricted), just have some true 3D eyes and 3D lips would do the trick. (customizable if possible)
  14. i would ask for a poly count increase for character heads to make the faces look less flat and the characters more 3D, but i dunno how much it would effect ppl's machine or how bad things can get with the games engine.

    i will ask for something els, stances and comic-shade options.
    the stances are obvious, you choose a stance and you walk/run/stand/fly different for every stance.
    now what i mean with comic-shade is not cell shade, it's the kinda shade where your character looks drawn so it's like you're playing in a comic book.
    now you ask, there are many styles of comics so what style are you revering too?

    first i was planning on the photoshop style until i found the cover of the latest album of WT and i love that style, it's dramatic yet drawn right there.
    i am not saying that everyone should use it, but it would be sweet to be able to change the style of textures trough out the game just to get an entire different experience.

    i just hope i didn't hijacked the thread........

    Ancient Japan!

    well, i would love to run around jumping from rooftop to rooftop in ancient japan, i never found any game where i could do just that.(MMO's like this anyhow)
  16. i came back because ppl in CO are just so blind they can't tell what's quality and what's quantity, don't give me a reason to turn my back on yet another game because of the same reason.
    any TS system gives ppl hell trough there speakers, just imagine when you're just listening to some peaceful music and just when you're invited and join the team, all you here is mambo jumbo about really nothing useful.

    really, i much rather listen to bad german rock then to any TS, i can at least choose to completely ignore the bad stuff.

    i did, that's the reason why i said mauls are not assault but melee, you don't see fire punches with fire blasts.
  18. it's bin a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time since i played this game so bare with me if some things are already in-game.

    i like earth control but doesn't have the complete scale i am searching for and the earth assault i could find has way to much melee skills for my taste, making a maul isn't my idea of earth assault but more like earth melee.

    now how do i like to see a true earth assault is like this:
    you control every grain of sand under your feet, you play around with some rocks dancing around your hand while you're crushing buildings to dust and splatter enemies between walls of rock and stone.

    some attacks that might be interesting to play around with:

    fissure
    you create a fissure under the feet of your enemies, unbalancing there stance and striking with high damage.

    meteor impact
    when you smash your fist on the ground, a huge blast comes from it knocking everyone away who stand to close.

    sand storm
    you create a sand storm around your self making it hard for enemies to hit you.

    got more, just forgot them >_<

    i just hope ppl like the suggestion.

    still bugged?

    is the forum still bugged or something, it takes me 20 relog-ins and 5 tries to post anything before giving up.
  20. regardless of what you have and have not removed, it should just work.
    if this just keeps on doing this, then it's nothing more then a forum bug.
    blaming it on the browser is only a sign of weakness, they are the ones who made the forum so they should make it compatible just like the old forum.

    if you call american ppl the rude and flaming one, that's ok.
    i just said how things are if i look trough the older thread posts, none of the European ones have insults.

    none are good, the old xp way is a lot better.
    if i want to emulate every little thing, ill use a linux OS.
    dosbox is just horrible, it doesn't even do 1 thing dos is suppose to do, never tried scummVM tho.
    but it's not a classic i am talking about, i am talking about games based on dos workings, with the need of a windows OS.
    m.u.g.e.n is one of these games, they work the way dos games work but need windows to start it up.

    Wrong. Windows 7 is built on the same kernel as Vista. It's just been greatly optimized and improved, but it's STILL the Vista codebase.
    pity, so we still have to deal with all the space waisted and other running problems like dos based games not running

    no ppl talking smart all of a sudden, we had our own corner and barely any fights or rude ppl.
    i only look at the US posts and part 2 fails here.
  25. sigh, and here is the first problem already, the infamous pacific time mumble jumble.
    it's GMT, pacific doesn't exist in europe
