    Not in the slightest. A level 1 coming in for the first time to the game is extremely different from the level-averaged character who shows up in a PVP zone. It's at least a little more fair at the outset, plus *you know you're in a pvp zone*.

    They're kept separate because most people *do not play pvp in this game*. Spread it into the pve zones and you WILL lose most of the player base in one fell swoop. Hell I think if they made an April Fool's gag of it that looked convincing enough, they would have people leaving then too.
  2. I think Ocho would make a great drinking buddy.
  3. There's always the Perez Park Plank.
  4. Ocho hasn't finished them yet? My goodness. He was supposed to be working on those during the comic con 2 weeks ago... lol.

    Patch 4 August

    Whatever happened to "server stability updates"?
  6. If you've got the images (and they're reasonably easy to crop/reduce to the right size) I can animate an avatar for you if you want.

    ..... and for some bizarre reason, this must be included in my signature now. lol!
  8. Indeed, I asked Posi and Ocho and others about some of these long standing things. COP is still on the burners. back burner, but still a work in progress and not entirely abandoned. Now: don't get your hopes up for it to be like you wanted it in 05, and don't think that it'll be anything in particular, when they make it it'll be what it'll be. I know some folks will give huzzas but others will still be complaining about it not being "the way it was".
  9. There was a zombie invasion in KR this evening on Protector.

    I just wish they said BRAINSSSS or something, but they just groan a little and shamble.

    And vomit.

    *shudder*

    Pools, plz

    An issue is "what else" will that pool have though. And, not really a balance issue per se, but what about when people gimp themselves out of a travel power by taking all attacks?

    I think it'd be a good idea to a certain extent, but epic pools exist too, and they tend to change things up for melee characters as well as ranged.
  11. I'd kinda like it if you could hurl other things, randomly taken from a pool of images like Propel has. I don't use the power, or at least, have never had a toon high enough to get it, but it'd be kinda fun to change it up a bit.

    Also: remember that what I did videos of at the con, may not be the 'final' products - there may be way more, just not ready at that time. So they may yet have something up their sleeve, I dunno!

    OOOOH.

    I think a "pick something up and spin around to let it go" animation would be awesome.
  12. There's a COH Blood Bowl thread somewhere (I think in the Comics area?)... Will we see you in COH again any time soon?
  13. Good point, though frankly they'd SELL nicely on the market, presumably, to people with khelds.

    They're orange because they're AWESOME.

    >_> or something.

    And, will continue to play/subscribe forever. for the record: never heard of either of them. They MUST have been niche games
  16. If you're talking about an mmo, then click-based anything is a lose/lose situation for anyone with a slightly slower connection. That alone would put me at a disadvantage with my current mouse (which is way less responsive than my old broken gaming mouse), and anyone who has a laggy connection is just boned.

    Part of the idea behind mmo's is that you DO those things to become powerful, not start out that way. Yes, yes, turn it on its ear... but the thing is: this concept already works.

    What I see as a target audience for this kind of game, should it become actual, are a load of horrifyingly munchkin gotta-have-it-now powergamers who would become quite bored with it - just like those kids who are AE babies, many of whom simply don't bother to learn the rest of the game's mechanics, and become bored, and leave because their attention spans are just not quite long enough.

    So no. I woulndn't play it.

    Or maybe they were just crazy!
    It's not really just that, though, it's that the character's badges could be seen - with 15 months of play and whatever else, I too would be a lot boggled at the thought that this person NOW playing had no idea about produced content versus player content. It pretty clearly screams bought-account, and not just that, to me it says "bought the account for the wrong reasons".

    Cityscape Help

    I'd just swipe a stock photo and work from that. as long as I can find the right perspective, I'm happy.

    @Aero - the image isn't coming up from your website either. I'd avoid hotlinking, in either case, if it is attached to your own bandwidth it may become a problem.
  19. Huh, I had thought it was but then you're right, it's always yellow. Odd. We KNOW that code's already there, with the salvage drops.

    And, lol, what's hilarious is they have color-coded the 'supergroup rent' per enemy con shades, if you haven't seen that. So /signed, more color codes.

    >_> Except for those color blind folks, but they'd still see it it just wouldn't be the same.

    I'm pretty sure yeah lol. Because it was so completely universal, from Posi and Ocho to the girls playing Liberty and Des, seriously they were all just so stoked.
  21. I'm not sure. Are the invasion rikti in the creator? Thing is that they aren't the same at all as any of the existing zombies - they were specifically made and arted to look like "certain people" so I'd definitely like the chance to see them individually.

    >_> Of course I WOULD like them to be able to crawl out of the ground like they do...

    They're also all uniformly BIGGER than the other zombies - unless they were resized recently (I haven't seen an zombieinvasion for months) when they were in Beta (that one day.. ONE DAY...) they were MASSIVE. I wasn't playing my biggest sized toon but they were all like 8 feet tall.

    "Working hard on it" is right. Omg they were all SO stoked at the con. I've hardly ever encountered people that loved their jobs more than these guys. They were energized, even if they sounded a little tired at times at the con in general? That's because they were exhausted from bringing it to so many people over and over at the booth lol. I think they all enjoyed the panel because it gave them a chance to sit down for an hour...

    And yeah I'm really hoping for some "universal" things. I don't want a level cap increase, there's no REASON for it. But a wider variety of things to DO at the level cap will be on its way. Plus anyway - Oro and MA and ... just... everything else.

    God I love this game.
  23. I'd like their appearances - but I don't think "they" as a whole CAN appear anywhere without their coding intact. But definitely, adding their models to the custom list would rule.
  24. yeah I never quite got the connection - it's not the AE's fault, it's the person who obviusly bought an account and then proceeded to NOT learn to play the game.

    What is the POINT of buying something that's obviously got plenty of goodies on it, if you don't LEARN TO USE THEM?!

    For the record: I'm not a Perfect_pain cronie, but I do enjoy her posts and will say that of the people who admit to farming, I'd trust her to do it right, and do it in a way that doesn't completely compromise the game's fun.

    lol nazis.
  25. Yay happy birfday!
