    I understand the original intent..SG promotion as an official rp ceremony to give a more authentic feel but that sentiment is outdated now.

    People can still promote/demote in an online-only ceremonial thingamajig but please give some of us the ability to opt out of such a static function.
    Hey, don't blame this on RPers!

    We want offline invites, promotion and demotion too. Not being able to do so atm is annoying =/

    ^ This

    If it's not only functional, but functioning well, leave it the hell alone.
    If its not only broken, but steaming slightly, now might be a good time to do some repair work.
    OM and Timebomb, respectively.
  6. Yeah...Longbow ARE egotistical, though, really. Deitrich and a lot of the dialogue in the RWZ arcs...villain side Longbow...theay really can be pretty arrogant

    Kudos on the post, though. The bigger man is one who can admit being wrong and say sorry =]

    Yes...
    Well, I always find them horrible. Forcefield, attacks included, energy attacks and FF blasts at Blaster level with a Tanks HP and Scrappers punching power?
    Just ouch. And don't get me started on Characters with no KB...

    I'm swiftly forming the opinion that Marketing = Evil incarnate.
    No, more evil than Carnies.
    Worse than Malta Sappers.
    And worse than the PPD Flashbangs and glue grenades.

    Marketing: Evil
    Run: In Fear
  11. Would really like a decent dog/wolf/fox style face that isn't all fangs. Y'know, that you might want to use on a Hero.

    Actually thought of possibly my first Silly character, while idly wondering what might be in Mutant pack XD
    Although I'd be making serious characters as well if we got decent animal face. I really hope we do.
  12. Allow: Rikti AT
    Substitute: Rikti Body type
    Wish: Join the Fight
    Rikti: Superior
    Gods: Will fall
    We: Will rise!
    Victory: Inevitable!
  13. A good post, and reasuring. J.M sounds like the sorta guy I'd like to meet.
    I need to get to work on some new MA stuff...I need to draft out a decent arc, rather than the two I have so far.

    I do agree that the filtering could use some work. My favourite self-made arc (Heart of Steel 1, see signature) was on 5 star rating, then suddenly went to 4 star.
    I wonder if some people just go through a rate 1 star or something, to shove stuff back into the 4 star mass?

    They really should filter the Star groups better. Have 5 tabs at the top, 5 star, 4 star, 3 star, etc. and then go from most ratings to least. And allow you to flip it. Right now the system is a mess. The 5 stars are all at the front, with no order. You get 11 ratings, 7 ratings, 2, 1, 1, 1 and then the next page is one with 13 ratings...I mean, wtf mate? Oo

  15. Making some 'Generic' EBs would be quite cool. Freakshow Uber Tanks, Crey 'Heroes', Arachnos Officers, Supa Trolls (they really shouldn't be LTs, but hey)..it doesnt take too much creativity to come up with some cool stuff.

    And yeah, make it an add-on to Mission Diff options. Don't make them into anything like Ballistas, for pity sake. Or Frostfire (He's a killer around lvl 14, when he gets both pets and his hold). But something like some of the 'Generic' Hero EBs you fight in some villain side missions would be nice. Tougher than a Boss, but not to the point of being lolBallista.

    I think the troopers paratrooping into battle might be a little graphically intensive (neat idea though!), instead just have them appear from the ether on the outside of the invasion battle area, utilizing the same invasion engine used for Rikti and Zombies.

    -snip-

    I'd love to see some type of a sky color change during this event also, but the right color should be red. That would mean the zombie invasion sky would need to change to another color, like maybe orange to allow the right color schemes in the sky to herald in this 5th Column Invasion; just a suggestion.
    Sky really doesn't need to change. Maybe add some storm clouds, or make it grey. But Red? Symbolic yes, also non-sensical.

    Also, use the Commando Summon emote from Mercs MMs. Thats a parachute. Would be kinda neat.

    Also, tanks! Make the tanks in RWZ do something, and add in some tanks for the zone invasion.
    (If it were ever to happen, obviously. If not, move along )

    Heh..this rig runs DoW2 on full graphics with no quibbles. Even online, on my shoddy Uni internet.
    I'm not too worried..but if there is a sudden problem, then that only shows the next thing that needs looking at =P

    Who was JRanger?
  21. Nice to hang onto the future, since IIRC they were working on targetting boxes for giant enemies, like JS, Rularuu and stuff (I think, dont quote me on that )

    But yeah, The Column Rises! /signed
  22. Hn..too early to boot up my cerebral core.
    /Signed, though. My main gripe is; give women the male sit emotes. Especially the bench sit ones. Females have '5' bench sit emotes...except 4 of them are all the same. The sitchair emotes are nearly as bad. It's majorly annoying.
  23. Want faction stuff, very much so. Making a Column trooper or Nemesis character is damn hard. Things like the Column helmets and masks, maybe the chest, glove and boot plates. Nemesis helmets and armour-jacket. Malta and PPD/guards gun slings and webbing (the chest details)

    And if it has to be unlockable, make it simple to get! 100 minions or something, not 100 kills of a Boss that only spawns at 41+ and barely ever unless you farm specific missions (I'm looking at YOU Fake Nemesis!)

    /rant

    Just a quick thing... Is there ANYONE with a practical use for Group Fly? Considering Level 14 isn't too hard to achieve, I'd think it would be rendered useless.
    Well, yeah...no one ever said Jack was smart

    I sometimes use it with my bots, although I am thinking of dropping it. Just, yeah...dropping them on an unsuspecting mob is kinda fun ^^ that and they look cool with jet-feet going.
