    What's to be confused. We have been teammates and friends for 5 years. Almost everyone knows we're like PB&J. I brought her over to Liberty, I'm her friend and I have her 6. I was a mod as soon as the channel was made Incase something happened. If you require further direction sent me a PM.

    The shorter stories lend themselves to advancing time to keep up with ingame time (though we've been known to fudge ingame timespans too...).

    ---

    From what I see, US forum based RP is played in the exact opposite way. And that's fine. BUT...

    If you go into a EU forum based RP thread and start posting, people will be under the impression that you're within the Union-universe, and can be addressed and contacted as such.

    Which means even more work for the other forum and server RPers (really, we're the same group in general, we do both) when trying to fudge why Mr Grandstate the Hero is in a big battle... which the group won... but doesn't turn up when the all survivors come and celebrate (for example).

    ---

    And for that reason, I support noting that forum RP threads come in one of three flavours:

    1. NA-Centred - These threads are about events that take place on the American servers, people can take part, but should bear in mind that EU members won't appear for ingame events.

    2. EU-Centred - These threads are about events that take place on the European servers (usually Union), people can take part, but should bear in mind that NA members won't appear for ingame events.

    3. Free-for-all - These threads are about events that take place in the Forums universe, and everyone can take part without having to worry about events happening on a server.


    ---

    Now, disagree if you wish, but it would probably be fairer to new RPers if we could at least come to some sort of agreement over it.
    I think that sounds great and makes sense.

    Liberty's Channel is small (around 70) people, but nearly all of the people on it are long time vets with a great deal of knowledge and experience who will help and answer questions. If you are looking for information it can be a good channel. You are welcome to join (just respect the rules). If interested send a global tell to @American Valor (I will be away from game starting today for awhile due to RL issues and unable to invite people).
    Send me a ingame tell and I'll get the invite out to you.

    Devs,

    You're paying people, professionals, to do less quality work for less results (ahem, subscription rates). This isn't the time to be cheap. CO is around the corner and they are advertising effectively.
    I have been here the entire time and I have seen Talent abound. DR is talented. (Understatement) Piping in with a serious agreement here.

    If it's much like the CoV beta testing, the first wave will probably have to deal with immense lag. So folks shouldn't expect to jump in and have fun playing. It's very much a test environment in the beginning.
    Yep and thats why we're there to test everything from; load, lag, QoL, and any other thing they can throw at us. Looking foward to it.

    To be honest I don't know when I got 63 month I would have to check,(got it 07/18) but it would be nice to continue betaing Its how I started this way back when before we had server names and prelaunch.

  15. Some day Tax_E I will have to get you our info for Liberty SG/VG, I like the calendar looks good.

    To SaintJohnNB,
    Generally we post and stickied events, then unsticky them. While I was with PERC as First / Second Chair and one of the Liberty Reps, we only used the calendar for our major PERC events and that we had a person assigned to get that done. Sidenote: I am no longer with PERC so I can't speak with how they will be doing those things.

    BTW I'm one of the people who used to call Tax_e, a cab

    Clearly you're not reading, I've already said I've tried numerous times searching for teams as well AS putting teams together. Get your facts straight, thanks!

    I've bounced between four different servers so far and frankly, I'm getting tired of bouncing around. And for your proof that people are quitting, my global list is just about dead now when it used to be full with active members. I don't have time to sit around for hrs searching and trying to build a team with ppl that want nothing but ae. I'm sure it's different for you seeing as you're probably settling for whatever team you can find regardless of what they're doing, bs or not. If that's how you team then you know what, good for you.

    I can help you out on Freedom. Just sign on and watch the global channel while you check Wentworths or something like that. Someone is always starting a TF up. Or you could start one yourself and advertise there. I think it's RF2009.

    Yesterday there was a Mothership raid and a couple TF starting while I was paying attention. I think they were even starting up a Shard TF. Someone was forming a badgehunting team redside also. This was all within a 30 minute window. (I started crafting after that and didn't pay attention) Freedom is great unless you go to Altas Park. (Even AP 2 isn't so bad) This is all a big improvement in my book.

    I agree with JeetKuneDo. except on Liberty. My original globallist has been changed and I have had plenty of friends who quit this game. I don't blame MA for it, I blame the latest and greatest new flavor stealing some otherthing done in the game which wasn't liked Im a 63+ mth vet. Some go some come back, Its the way of MMO's I'm told. Personally I solo and duo, however that is by choice and not design. I mostly play on Liberty and our community has some one doing something generally. Global channel is LBx ask and get an invite.

    Oh and avoid atlas

    I enjoy the raids, as it creates a sense of accomplishing something that the game lacks otherwise. I mean, I can stand on a corner and beat the liveing snot out of thousands of Hellions or Council, and it makes no impact on them whatsoever. Even so, I think the raids could and should be reviewed.

    The gist is that the Rikti should have OBJECTIVES. That is, they're invading, so what are they trying to accomplish?

    I'd do it like this.

    First, when the raid is first announced, three targets would spawn in each zone. They might be different from zone to zone, but the idea is that the Rikti are going to attempt to destroy these targets. I'll use Atlas Park as an example.

    The sirens sound, and a military bunker spawns at City Hall. A couple of minutes later, the ships start flying in, dropping bombs. At the same time, ground troops will start entering from the gates. Both the ships and troops start moving toward the objectives. It will now be up to the heroes to stop them from destroying the objectives.

    Note that this would require making the ships MUCH more assailable. No stronger than Elite Bosses, it would need to be possible (though difficult) for a solo hero to destroy one. They should move around the speed of unslotted hover. Their beam weapons should be much less powerful but the bombs should do actual DAMAGE, and lots of it.

    If the heroes stop the Rikti, the raid ends. If they fail, and the three objectives are destroyed, Atlas becomes flagged as a war zone, and Rikti troops will begin beaming in as they do now.

    When this happens, the Rikti will move into one of the adjacent zones (eg. Steel Canyon) and a new battle with three objectives will begin THERE. This move from zone to zone will continue until the Rikti are stopped. Zones "captured" byt he Rikti would remain in warzone mode until the Rikti are stopped.


    Signature heroes in the zones should become active and participate in the fighting. For example, when Atlas Park is attacked, Ms. Liberty would help the fighting if Rikti troops come in range of her.


    If the entire city is captured, I'm not sure what to do. It would be highly unlikely, but you never know.


    What do you think?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This sounds very cool, red name should read this I think. (Hint, Hint) and Yes at least one server would allow this to happen if for no other reason to see what would happen if?

    I know I would be watching to see what would happen. If we lost the entire city, thinking Recluse Victory.

    During the invasion Vanguard could have a zone tracking similar to the RV showing progress if any by the Rikti during invasions just to expand on the idea more.

  23. Now now, I think it has some merit, I remember the first run of Katie we did no one on our team knew we need to stay and fight. Wow that was long ago. We had to run it twice to defeat her 9 more times to get the 10 times badge and the hat. My friend really really wanted that hat.

    I was just running this tf two days ago and was sked up we had a solid team and Katie at 8, 9, 10. I don't remember the number of team wipes we had I was worried some were going to quit, but everyone held out and we won. Total tf time was 2 hours 07 sec. 93 minutes were just fighting the Marys. The team wipes and regrouping really beat us up. Yes pun intended But we won.

    Oh my point sometimes you just want to get the Amy power. I think if we could have finished the TF without the forced defeats, at 7 x the victor, we might have even it it meant reduced merits, as long as we got Amy.

  24. also the longer your offline in that location the more you earn it get tricky if you want to have mutipile of each power once you earn the accolade. By tricky means where to park dayjob, accolade1, accolade2, etc. and Grats onm getting Merc.
