Some people will read and enjoy it but the masses will probably not like it regardless of the reason. I would say write what you want and then listen to the feedback you're getting when it is constructive and good it can make your story even better. But if you wish to avoid complaints Steele Magnolias idea works well.

Sword on mantel piece its a relic eventually to generate a new hero. Solo cause he's a scrapper back before I-3 and before I-3 Tanks were the ultimate king.

As a matter of fact I think I recall Apex got a job at Paragon Pizza J/K

Awesomeness totally cool looking foward to it real soon

My biggest concern is why are there isn't any feedback on lower star ratings?

[/ QUOTE ]

A combination of pain in the butt griefing and some people living in mortal fear of their global being visible and getting one-starred in return.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bingo. Rating anything less than 5 stars and providing feedback risks that player 1-starring you just because they're a jerk without their even playing your arc.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just trying to provide feedback if not positive and glowing can lead to nasty interaction. Forget about 5 star ratings and 1 star griefing. Why bother if all you're gonna get is grief for it anyway.

But what do I know except cream rises and everything else just settles...

I want to thank everyone for supporting the MS raid Last night, Sorry for the one day turnaround but I had only saw the request on Saturday afternoon. Glad we had an awesome turn out.

I'll let Vaxy get back to scheduling them and running them since her computer is good again.

As for the LBx MotD, LBx is a Liberty channel not a PERC/PVPEC channel and it would be presumptuous to tell them to place MSraid info there. That said, should a LBx Mod want to I'm not going to say no

Once again good showing Liberty, see you at the next Raid.

It doesn't stop my characters from acting like little kinds, though But it stops them from BEING little kids, because they always THINK like jaded adults. I'd really like to be able to work around this some day, because it is a failing that becomes incredibly obvious if I pick the "right" story premise.

Funstuffofdoom, good information and I see that alot, sometimes its just easier to start this way.

Thinking like 'Jaded Adult' Hmm that in itself is entirly a whole different post I generally try to have innocents equal inexperience with what ever subject they wouldn't know about.

I will normally do the jade adult response and then back it up from that viewpoint to the point of if they never experienced this how would they act. It is not as easy as it sounds. Sometimes you view it and say this is good , but then you project where it is going in the story and realize that really wasn't what you wanted, and you go back and look at it again.

I also use the rose colored glasses effect on how they view the world in combination with innocents and inexperience this help in keep it in the mind of a child. weather with Love, Why do I feel this way? or Horror, big scary man in a hat... RUN! is completely different when viewed by "expereienced characters."

My point is when you find yourself writing 'Jaded Adult' sweep it back and place your thoughts in to a mind of a child. Hopefully that helps.

Alrighty I did as was told everything except my mission transfered over. I have tried this several times it shows my mission as autosave and not mission title. Search by mission title comes back empty no published arcs. Please help EX.

I would agree with Bloodwolf, your question is interesting but he covered mostly everything I would say.

Pacing is my answer, and the true Superman good guy isn't boring, nor is the ultimate bad pure evil guy. They can be the leads in any story not just support, and sometimes because they are so one dimensional they can be even harder to write which could make all the difference in the drama around them.

But the essence of a good love story is a good story.

Terra Scorcher,
Which night during the week do you get to play and one of us will schedule a raid if possible.

AV

Yes it was an over sight as we just created this new improved pretty place to use and forgot to list it here So Vaxy listed it same day. Look for a new listing soon.

Valor

LOL that was great Psiclops.

I have too many they all live some where. My current Main is:

American Champ

AC is a college Student and Lives On Campus at PCU.

Posted links, everyone can follow his and others stories in the PCU and Whitmoore thread.

A ice skating lake to play hockey on besides the luge and Ski slopes.

Ran or was on FBNY missions majority of time event took place. Several bugs reported almost all involving reward text, or rewards not appearing properly etc.

but it would be nice to have an Ice skating ring for speed skating course, and hockey games. That would be awesome.

Valor

AWESOME!

Love it the cover and Story

American Valor

Excellent Merry Christmas to All ...

AV

Hmm well Liberty it seems I have come out of retirement for the time. So that said, lets have a warm welcome back for...

American Valor, with events coming soon to a location near you.


This message approved by me.

I have reserved my comments on I-13, There are plenty of changes I don't like, there are some I do and some I just think WTH.

I understand NCSoft/COx is a business, and that change is what is needed to keep the game competive with the new up and commers. I would ask all sides to think about these things when they respond and read these boards.

On a whole we the player base have responded and reported what things we would like to see and sometimes we feel more often then not that we are ignored. Other times it seems you realize we have been asking for something and that you decide yea, we should do that to appease your costumers.

Without costumers, it doesn't matter how great the game is it will fold. Without the game their would be no costumers, the two do go hand in hand.

I have concerns dealing with: Bases, the merit system and to a point even PVP. Thats over half the new changes being addressed. New powersets are nice, the new icon pieces are nice and I love em. Mission changes and additional content is ok.

Please review the things some of us are saying, the bug reports and findings sent and posted. I enjoy this game but as my friends leave and the new player base changes I find myself wondering the real future of this game I enjoy.

Status Reports from the Operations Command Center of DSC HQ

Star Strider Force
Name: American Valor Director of Special Operations of the DSC

Global Contact: @American Valor

Reporting on Assignment: Star Strider Forces Special Operations: Rikti Dropship Assault

Star Strider Force Units: Liberty, Virtue

Time/Date Location: 20081114-20 Paragon City, Rhode Island, USA

Level of Alien Threat [ThreatCon 5 High]

Report Details:
Liberty Units orders were to gather and set strike teams to remove all threat by destroying alien advance and retreat opportunities. Main point of attack is the Rikti Ships, search and destroy all ships.

The initial assault wave the three available strike teams surprised the Rikti and dealt them a serious blow destroying 4 dropships and crippling several others. Throughout the next few days however the Rikti changed the modulations of their shields and prevented further destruction of their ships. Without the available forces to complete the mission objective the best that could be further done was to drive off the ships with damage until more forces could be mustered.

Angry Angel contacted DSC command HQ, The Virtue Division had the available manpower and wanted a shot at the assignment. Angry Angel was appointed Commanding General of the Virtue DSC Division.

Virtue units engaged the enemy at 20081120 1945-2045. 41 enemy dropships were destroyed in the single most spectacular air battle since the first incursion by the Rikti in 2002. Surveillance video footage as well as photos are currently being examined and studied to determine how to improved tactics and provide better training.

Analysis of Current Situation:
A field study of the tactic used were examined. It was obvious that the crucial component is manpower. Success to complete the mission objectives is more manpower as shown in the video. Surveillance video footage as well as photos are currently being distributed to all agencies and individuals to improved tactics and provide better training.

Suggestion of Action:
Combine forces with others agencies FBSA and Vanguard, plus any others to increase the entire manpower involved will have more drastic results as proven by Commander Angel’s DSC Division surveillance video footage as well as the photos that are currently being examined and studied to determine improved tactics and training.

welcome
