Arctic Man

Not sure about the beta access procedure, but going by the dates for the loyalty program it seems unlikely that Going Rogue will launch this year if closed beta access for some players isn't granted until after half of November has passed.

I'm here also. Took me a bit to figure out the login though, and tried with the old forum PW first (different from my game login password that seems to be required now).

It's probably just a low level magical sigil leftover from a Hellion or Outcast ritual

Outcasts? In the Rogue Isles?

Give all the zones the destructable stuff like the Safeguards have for a start

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, that wouldn't lag the servers out at all, would it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Kings Row already has some objects like that (and has had it for a long time now). Just an hour or so ago, I saw some skulls shooting at a car then getting themselves killed when it blew up.

Hopefully the merger with the US forums will mean we can get included in some of their competit- heh, who am I kidding. All those terms and conditions and so forth will probably forbid that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Probably. Star Wars Galaxies, with a single set of forums (and server list) for both US and EU, still exclude people outside US for contest like creating in-game paintings and such.

And I really don't understand people wanting to have debt badges...

[/ QUOTE ]

Me neither. I try to avoid them if I can, which is why I did the test mentioned above on the training room.

[ QUOTE ]
The reason, Leigh, you probably thought Debt was non-existant was possibly because Patrol XP gets removed before debt gets shown. If you have Patrol XP on a character, it has to be zero before you start getting debt again.

[/ QUOTE ]

It still counts towards the debt badges though. I tested this on a character on Training Room with maybe 95-97k debt and got myself killed with maxed out patrol xp (swimming out to say hello to Lusca) and that pushed me over 100k and awarded me the badge.

Where I live we have neither € nor £, but I think the prices are listed in €.

City map 02 + carnie city map gone

[/ QUOTE ]

For everybody that fell for this . . . . . consider yourself busted

[/ QUOTE ]

You had me checking my own arc to see if it was still valid or not. Turns out I had City Map 03 though (final mission calls for an outdoor area).

But that's okay because I needed to adjust it anyway, due to a destructable object becoming unselected after the changes to those.

[ QUOTE ]
They say it could happen every day from 8-10 but usually it's once a week and usually i find it's a Tuesday recently.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fridays as well I think.

[ QUOTE ]
Starting Friday July 17th (4pm BST) and lasting through Sunday July 19th (5am BST)

[/ QUOTE ]

Does that mean that it will start on Friday afternoon, and end very early on Sunday when most people are asleep (for a total of 37 hours)? Seems the US got more (61 hours), but maybe you meant 5am BST on Monday morning?

[ QUOTE ]
...and Avatea's on holiday, so don't expect anything before next week.

[/ QUOTE ]

That explains why we haven't been getting any official announcements over here (like the new build on training room, rikti invasion and this). Maybe Niviene could come and post here too (until Avatea gets back), since she said she'd hang out here from time to time until the merge.

[ QUOTE ]
Hmm... Updater is downloading something huge, 252 MB, to be precise. Could it be the support sor SB#3?

[/ QUOTE ]

Really? Mine went straight to "Next ->" as usual when I fired it up just now.

Reading the word document closer, I definely can't see what made him think he was "playing by the designers' rules" as the article says.

[ QUOTE ]
The first set of Twixt’s breaching behaviors involved pvp tactics within RV: “droning” and, closely related, “teleporting into non-player characters (npc’s).”

[/ QUOTE ]

The second bit is definetly not allowed as far as I know, since it can cause debt. That's suspension-worthy actions just there. Or at least I think a red name has said so in the past.

I'm fairly sure that a community person (or maybe even a developer) posted and said that using the drones in that manner is not what they are intended for, and is a petitionable offense. Was a long time ago though, probably back in Bridger's days.

[ QUOTE ]
Even a Talsorian glowing Mace would do for me...

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't see that happening though. They've said that talsorian weapons will be restricted to the ones that do lethal damage.

I'd probably go with flight, invulnerability and repel (because it says "back off" better than PFF)

[ QUOTE ]
The rikti invasion temporarily dropping the war walls has been mentioned many times on the boards as a possible meaning to the 'war walls coming down' dev post - but I, for one, have never accepted that as the intended development behind the original statement.

It's just mentioned as it's the only way (to date) that any war walls have come down.

It is possible that it was the original intention, but I don't buy it without further dev statements. IMO The devs know better than to make statements about the possibility of removing the war walls if the rikti dropship runs were all they mean - it's just setting themselves up for a lot of unhappy players who feel a little duped.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can't find a link now, but I'm fairly sure (95%) that a developer posted somewhere that the Rikti invasions was what they meant.

[ QUOTE ]
Werent these positions added long time ago? It maybe just refer to Aion, or even A.net's GW2.

[/ QUOTE ]

It does say Paragon Studios though.

No - why would he?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, that IS pretty much his job...

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, Positron is really "only" lead developer. The producer is Ghost Falcon (not to be confused with GhostRaptor).

[ QUOTE ]
On the video at 40 seconds you see the drop down menu for ratings. How come we havent got that many options?

[/ QUOTE ]

Most of those seem to be GM tools for filtering through arcs and check which have been banned, pulled for content etc and not something that's useful to players.

It seems that a fix for Zukunft and Vigilance is in the works at least: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat....v=#Post13696547

But should I get worried when it seems that the Producer for the game doesn't seem to know what day it is?

We will be giving you an update on the Booster Pack III soon, we just need to make sure all our European servers are back up and running first. Thank you for your patience all!

[/ QUOTE ]

Not sure I see the connection between the too, unless it's the same people working on both things.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, I think they'd like to sell a product only when it's certain the buyers will be able to use it

[/ QUOTE ]

Well since it's account wide, Carnifax's explanation might be closer to the truth. Has to be more people (potential buyers) on Defiant and Union than on Vigilance and Zukunft anyway.

Bit of a solo-player here (and my highest character is level 40) so not too fussed about the TF and SF.

On the other hand, I've managed to increase the number of custom NPCs in my story arc from 12 to 27 (allowing me to flesh out the villain group) with plenty more room left over than I had before, so no complaints here.
