This b*tch was good, Vix admitted, ducking under the strike and settling for a not-so-stylish but also damn effective kick in the kneecap, followed by a retreat. This time, however, she ran, ending up halfway back down the street.
"Outrun this," she muttured, before charging back within the second, mind going into overdrive to try and pick up which way Pistol was going to try and dodge, if at all.

Love that idea. I know it's been suggested before (I know, because I suggested it ). There are downsides to it, and the invasion spawn-code (being based around the number of heroes within a certain area on the server's heartbeat) would need to be rewritten. But I still love it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought they were based on something that was around about lvl 30? Hence why its partly easier for high levels and damn hard for lowbies?
I may well be way off the track there

This is why making the MA into a zone is a better idea (although i could imagine that being full pretty much 24/7.)

The best way to do it, is to only have MA in 3 zones. Maybe.. Kings, Indie Port and Peregrine Hero side, and have them all joining into one MA zone. I don't see that being hard for the devs to do, and it'll save alot of complaints.

Afterall, they sorta did it with the VG buildings, why not MA? And, since all the insides of the buildings *look* the same anyway...

Vix blocked, blocked, then scythed low with a spinning kick, before aiming a punishing uppercut at Pistol's jaw.
"You think I rely only psionics?" she snarled, pulling back out of range into a guarded stance, "You lucked out...Murderer" Added to the last word was a mental barrage aimed only at Pistol.

Techbot_Alpha, Remember the MA seems to work like an instanced mission too, it seems to reserve you a place in the entrance zone to exit back into, as if you never left the zone, so very soon I expect to see the 'Atlas Park - Full' message due to the level of farming in Atlas.

Another good reason to remove them from starter zones then

were you guys using an existing char on test or did you have to transfer? Newly transferred chars weren't given the option to test the new features.

Tried both options neither were working

[ QUOTE ]

But before they do anything even remotely like open world PvP they need to sort out PvP no way should powers differ from PvE to PvP its just silly.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed.. its stupid that a defender can win from a tanker. Some matches are just impossible. And the game shouldnt rectify that. It makes a very unrealistic image to see a daredevil win from a Hulk.

[/ QUOTE ]

No one can agree more than my poor Invul/EM tank nigh unkillable in PvE, then a joke in PvP. Tis daft.

[ QUOTE ]
To be honest, there are a lot of things I would like to see in the game that focus around invasion-type events or more dynamic activity by spawns. The thing that I really want to see, though, is villains on city zones. I don't mean PvP (that's a whole other argument) - I'd like to see unique/custom villains running/flying through zones every once in a while, on their way to performing some nefarious deed or another. Maybe triggered by completing bank missions or something, but something that isn't the standard mobs appearing every now and then.

Ever been on a mothership raid in the RWZ when you get a zone full warning due to both the number of players for the raid (fine) and the players in the RWZ MA blocking more raid players from participating...

RWZ Vanguard base should have an out of zone portal to an AE/MA.

[/ QUOTE ]

Most I've ever seen in RWZ MA is about 5, but yes, valid point.

It is, I would know having tried it out a lot last night.
Find the Icon/Facemaker person that has 'Surgeon' at the end of their name.

[ QUOTE ]
If we are moving the AE building to Pocket D get rid of the one in RWZ then, it doesn't make sense having one there..

[/ QUOTE ]

It would make more sense if it was near to/inside the base. After all, it can be used, IC, as a training simulation. Although yes, a Pocket D one would be very nice.

Vix rolled upright, grimacing as she saw the wound in Jeanne, one that only slightly lessoned as it started to knit again. She went a slight empathic pulse into her, enough to give her consciousness back.

"B*tch, huh?" she growled, glasses flashing as she turned to pistol, a red glow rising in her eyes. "Yeah, that sounds about accurate."
There was a serious of rather close sounding clicks and clinks. Almost in slow motion, the handgun exploded like it was in space, little pins and springs dancing as the main slide and the hammer hovered into the air.

"People like me?" Vix clenched her fists until the knuckles clicked. "I'll show you just who you're up against!"
The psionic blast was aimed and presice, a wave with the equivelant feel of a brick wall hammering through the diner, until it left a dent in the back wall.

No! We're evil! The world will be ours, so be glad we're just after the power sets right now!

What about a pet Igor?
"Yeth Mathter?" :P

"'Clean out the Trash'?!" Vix snarled. "You think that excuses murder? Murdering some people who had done nothing wrong? Who do you think you are? And, more importantly, no-one else is dying. That stops, right now!"

Emotes, costume emotes, costume parts...
Its good. Its all good. Like, I'm up at 3:15 am because I was testing it all sort of good XD
Use the drink Formula emote while in midair. /WANT the pose you get afterwards as a hover or fly pose. Its godly.

Come out and fight, coward, Vix growled mentally, hoping that the target would hear. She simply nodded in reply to Jeanne, keeping her focus on preserving the lives of the Lost, the civilians, and not throwing up.

not to mention, can a person actually be married to a robot toon? whole new meaning to mail order bride/groom

I believe sentient machines are viewed as alive in paragon city so yes you probably could marry a robot

This is some announcement, isn't it! I hear some of your concerns and we will try to make this as smooth a transition as possible.

The European English and North-American English Forums are indeed the ones who are going to undergo the biggest changes since it is 2 big communities that are going to be merged together (and hopefully coexist in peace).

Wait, wrong movie?

Unless the Devs/Mods are really stingy/dense/lazy I don't see how it would be impossible to link up two accounts you own. At least on the forum. There might be a few little snags, maybe, but nothing impossible.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have made the EU forum what it was, for 4 years of witty repartee (and the not so witty one too, at times) and express how much I will miss you guys. Well, some of you... Everything will soon™ be drowned in a much larger sea where only those with very high post counts are heard.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't worry BlueRabbit, I'll be forcing my awful puns on our American cousins too, as well as taking great delight in confuzzling them with Forum Roleplay.

The amount of great characters we have on the EU forums I believe it is them that should phear our terrible coming.

[/ QUOTE ]

I second that. The Yanky forumites who think that '[censored] lol u onli got 2k post u n00b' will pretty much be forced to eat there words. You can't discount people who have also been playing the game for as long, if not longer than you have.
Pity I'll have to curb in the vitriol a bit or maybe not, depends if I'm going to embrace the image of a bad guy, eh?

Simple answer that i don't think anyone has suggested. Make MA a zone itself. Sort of like Midnighters club (MA is bigger that that tiny place so i don't see it being a problem)

You click on the door (like Midnighters) and LOAD into the MA building instead of just entering it.

It'll stop the spam in the lower level zones.
It'll be eaiser to impliment a level restrition if the devs choose to do so.
It'll stop confusing chat with some people wanting MA and some people wanting normal missions etc.
It'll mean new players don't see an easy option to level as soon as they enter the game.


I would say however that unlike the midnighters club, they won't join together.
So if you type /sea on heroes they'll be

Atlas Park Mission Architect
Steel Canyonn Mission Architect

etc etc


Personally i just use RWZ to powerlevel all my new charactors anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

Best idea here.
making the AE buildings into a seperate zone will stop the whole area getting spammed with /LFFT (solving a few issues) without causing any problems for those that do want to head right to AE and ignore the rest of the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually I like the zone idea but what's wrong with having it as a single zone with a setup like Pocket D or Midnighter's (Each MA building loads into the one zone and the MA exit doors are marked to where you'll end up)? Broadcasts for teams would reach everyone in the zone and you could also have Villains and Heroes in the same building teaming with each other..

[/ QUOTE ]

Use that portal in Pocket D that never seems to get used, or only for certain seasonal missions! Make a new zone as an 'add-on' to Pocket D (Whole new zone though)
And maybe add more Pocket D entrances around the city. I know that Redside has one less than blue, which is annoying, but hey.

The thought buzzed round and round Vixes head, even as she let her empathy and psionics flow. Wounds from bullets knitted back up, lost blood was restored within seconds, and a general sense of purpose and clarity was in the air.
Empathy...for the good of the city...never thought I'd ever use it to save the likes of the Lost, Vix thought, teeht gritted as she tried to keep an eye out for the attacker.
