I don't mind the running, if there was purpose in it. Where are they going? If they're running to get help, have them aggo the next mob. Make it a concequence to letting one get away.
Are they running away because they've really lost their <blank>? Then they should de-spawn at some point.
But them running away, and then come strolling back... "I know I was running for some reason, but I can't remember why..." that's kind of silly. -

I'm not trolling. I didn't plan on expressing my opinion and leaving it at that. If someone is going to reply, then I will back up my reasoning. Now as for the people who are only replying with knee-jerk reply of "oh he's trolling" are more of a troll than I am. Sorry if you can't accept people expressing negative review of your precious game.
Basically, the answer is the same as I've been trying to give on the other threads.
Next Issue. Thats when the Incarnate system goes live. Thats when it was always going live. That will have the level 50 stuff that you and, yes, other are craving. The key is patience; good things take time.
The fact that Positron and an entire sub-team in Paragon Studios are working exclusively on end-game content and the Incarnate system should be reassuring. -
It's so bad, it's a slap in the face!!
((Yes, yes I went there )) -
The bar for missions has, quite rightly, been raised.
Long live Praetoria. -

I found it amusing how he couldnt 'sign off' by becoming street pizza off of Tyrants tower. That was funny.
Also, he did get the Mission Teleporter wrong. I mean, it can work across whole zones. He kinda short changed that.
It wasnt a terrible review, and he did give it some fairly good praise as he took into account 'This came out in 2004. Go figure.'
The comments I see are the same trollish anti-cox stuff I expect. The happy players are in game playing and busy. The likes of those who went to CO and whatnot are the ones who always slam CoX in comment boxes. -

Oh yeah, the outdoor Defeat All missions toad the wet sprocket big time. I forget what the reasoning behind it was, but it was really lame. If the devs have gotten rid of them from the arcs, then bully for them.
I have a character who's been mid-arc on Hero's Hero (I think he was stalled because of a timed Diabolique mission I really didn't want to do), so I'll have to check out what's changed.

Quote:The timed missions arent that bad, to be honest. More acknowledging they are there.Originally Posted by Lord_Nightblade
I think they were all sans timer when the Praetorian arcs went live, and then had timers added as an anti-farming measure.
But the giant outdoor maps with Defeat All? God I hate them. I realised how utterly attrocious they are when teaming in PI the other day. -

It was Posi I think. But he says a lot of things like "In future we'll probably focus on releasing TFs rather than missions as you now have the tech to do missions yourselves" and "We won't be merging the markets but we are looking at other options".
Come ON people, there is Issue1 junk in there that is still making the core of the game suck where it should rock.

In all seriousness, you can only go so far with 'New Shinies', until you suddenly realise the Ferrari you thought you were driving has a rusted chassis and an engine from a Ford Fiesta. -
The old Praet content was a load of guff that dates back to I1. It was prehistoric, clunky, fairly badly written and pretty badly designed too. Hell, MOST of the Portal Corp stuff is. Its a very simple formula which you can crack after...oo..three missions?
-Massive outdoor map, defeat all
-Massive outdoor map, defeat all
-Massive outdoor map, defeat all
-Timed mission of Massive Annoyance
-Massive outdoor map, defeat all
On and on and bleeding on.
It was junk, and it got cut out and refurbished like it should have been for years. Good riddance I say. Heres to the new dawn of Paragon Studios current talented mission writers and builders. -
I'd prefer it if there was a tailor in the tutorial. A free one, so that you can make last minute changes to the costume 'in the air' as it were. The ammount of times I've taken a costume out of the editor, then noticed all the litte things that are 'wrong' is staggering.

Anyone got screenies of the Tsoo and Freak guys?

Human form Khelds are fairly easy to pass off, imo.
VEATs don't need any alternate explaining though, frankly. You don't need Arachnos to have access to an assault rifle that ISNT a horrible franken-gun. Most normal weapons pack single shot, burst and full auto, and adding a grenade launcher and a bayonet is pretty damn easy too.
Fortunatas? Offensive but team based (or not) psionicists. Night Widows? Whatever ninja-esque, poison dart, mind power wielding type you want.
Heck, even Crab Spiders aren't that hard to work around. Freakshow Meatdocs, anyone? General exoskeletal rigs with arms? Lack of any real customisation on them shouldnt hinder cool concepts.
I agree thats its hard to RP Kheld forms as anything other than what they are, though, at least until/if we ever get alt forms for them. -
Uh...no. ONE level of the Incarnate system was going to be in GR, but didnt work to their standards without the rest of the content to go with it. The systems itself didnt get cut.
So...no. Just no. -

Quote:Sorry, but this just smacks of one thing, reading that post.Originally Posted by Pious
You confuse me sometimes Liz. You and all these planning. When it comes to Forum RP, some things just happen naturally. Lets talk about the characters Pious and Tower for a moment. Tower is an unstoppable machine made of the strongest metal. Pious is an angelic spirit with elemental powers. Tower vs Pious = Tower being teleported away. Again, and again and again. Problem postponed until Dunelm Group can come and just collect it and deal with it.
It's simple; Pious is a religious pacifist. He would only throw a punch if there was no better/other option. You know that. So he would never truly recognise Tower or any other machine as an actual credible threat when its just a lifeless object, unlike a person (who has human and moral rights). You want to give Priest a real fight? For drama or whatever other reason that I don't actually understand? Then maybe pull a Kahn. Back in that fight, Pious had no other choice but to place himself as a shield and try to stop Kahn fulfilling his threat to kill more Longbow. Even in-game that was a one-way fight. I could have had Pious use granite armour and keep healing until everyone got bored, or have him use his gravity control skills and teleport/wormhole Kahn all day or until he makes a mistake and fails (as he would have done with Impervium Tower in Moth Cathedral had Jemma not done it first). But I didn't do that because Pious was psychologically faulted; he knew deep down that he was guilty as charged and deserved every blow he received from Kahn, so he just took it.
You say the Impervium Tower plot is a mess? I thought it only just started? You and Eleven planned a big towering fight? Well it seems to me that both the Ghost of Death and the Priest were in no mood to fight anything. Jemma sent the threat away or trapped it somewhere. Problem postponed. And now Dunelm Group are taking steps to 'solve' it. Dude, its not my fault if RP doesn't always play out as you want it to. We all try to stay true to our characters and so they will always do whatever it is that they do. And what Pious does best is peace-talk his enemies to boredom. You're not really gonna get a fist fight out of him.
The Priest wins.
The Priest will always win. Because he can do anything, and survive anything, and teleport anything away. You can't kill the Priest. You can't even have a half decent fight with him. It just-
Meh. I'm frankly giving up on the Open Season Plot until things get into line a bit more, tbh. Take that whatever way you want, I really don't care. Thats my opinion, and its one im sticking too. This whole thing IS a mess (no fault of Eleven's, either), and I want no part in that. Once Game can post a bit more, maybe I can get involved again with that side of things.
Until then, ciao. -
Seems most everything I can think of has been throught of.
One I didn't spot, before I skipped forward though;
-Remove the daft glow from Super Strength. I dont want my troll to have glowing hands when he punches stuff. He no longer has to glow simply from being a badass (willpower), why does he have to glow when 9 foot of peeved muscle punches someone so hard the screen rocks? No-glow for SS would be great (leave the screenshake, as I love that, and it can be turned off under options as it is atm
)

Tarantulas. Smack 'em all over until they fall down or blow up. *nods*

To add to Damz, its a bit damn pointless letting EU players win physical copies, as they'll be US versions. Unless we missed a memo somewhere that they magically made EU versions too...

My one gripe with the resistance hat is that you cannot use 'Goggles up' with it. While the Resistance can.
*sigh*
I see why, though. Certain hats would have to be marked 'dont allow x, y and z costume parts' while others would need to be marked 'allow etc'
Something for a future revamp I hope. -
Awesome sauce. That better not get cut.

"Battle Servants' reminds me of how much I would love to RP somebody's butler. Because the hero's butler is invariably a totaly badass engine of destruction concealed within an elderly English man. very fun to RP with. And hes a good hitter too.
