    This is ridiculous. They just need to eliminate the filters from the MA. Far too many everyday words are superhero names, far too many everyday words contain a name or "profanity" somewhere in them, and the "profanity" filter itself is full of stuff that is completely innocuous outside of specific contexts.

    I think it would be abused, there is a whole lot of stupid in the world at times. This is rated T for teen though a lot of adults play it and children play it.

    By having filters in check they're not only protecting their own butts from potential legal action. They're also making sure some unsupervised teen or child who doesn't need to see a lot of foul language (imho) is protected.
  2. I'm not sure I understand. for answering the first question yes.

    For the second part. If you mean you want a place to talk about your mission then click the link for story/lore or go look and you can post something and ask for people to run your published live arc ? that you want tested and give you critiquing.

    or For testing if you are on your server, and need it tested before publishing? if that's what you mean then you might want to try asking in broadcast or on any server channels you might have.

    hope that maybe covered which you meant I wasn't sure.
  3. Check the top of the server you use I think all of them have one stickied now. I also think that there is a story lore section near forum games for posting arcs with that info you listed.

    Found it. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/postl...Board=villains
  4. You would probably have to have a ally or rescue or destructible object or defendable item on the map. You then could choose to have them do that green cloud, which I think is called Summoning somethingorotherthat I can't remember..

    It gives you the option to set what stance the mob around the ally/rescue/destructible/defendable item is doing.

    I think that the mob surrounding something acts as a group, the only other thing I can think of that might achieve what you want but it wouldn't be in the same group unless someone knows how to do that. Would be sticking maybe a few destructible objects at the back of a map in a smaller area where the individual groups guarding each one could have different emotes. IE: 1st item they are all summoning 2nd item they are all doing book research 3rd they are all dancing

    Rating Griefing

    the law of averages states that you will not be at a 5 star rating after a given amount of time with your arc posted, so best thing to do is chill.

    What he said

    and...
    Granted your writing may be one of your imaginations treasure and who wants to have someone not like something that is personal to them.

    Maybe take into consideration that you might write an arc based on clowns, someone might not like clowns so thus they give you a bad rating. Did it have anything to do with your content? no your content was fine and the other 8 people who did your arc were fine with it. But whomp that clown hater just couldn't deal with the clowns in the mission.

    There are a TON of scenarios that might or might not like someone like your arc, it could be someone just whizzing through trying to find badges and giving rating as they want. It could be people griefing there's that possibility. People just have different opinions on stuff.

    Now with coh we have the availability to have everyone be a critic. It may or may not be your arc, someone could be having a bad day. It could be someone really was not able to follow your story line. Someone didn't like a boss you made. etc. etc.

    I've figured out on rating missions of Thinking of it like book/movie genre's. Everyone's testing out what genre's they like right now. Maybe they're into short humorous arcs, maybe they're into story content arcs, maybe they like killing tech robot critters, etc..

    If you have A LOT of people running your arc you're probably going to find people who do not like it for whatever reason. Law of averages.
  6. Make sure the map you use allows ambushes. The information on the map you choose shows where it can be placed etc. I've weeded out a lot of things I thought were bugs once I recognized that some maps didn't allow placement in the front of the map but only in the back etc.

    Do not assume that a female character in a bikini with a katana and double D's is a woman in real life. She's not.


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Don't assume that a character isn't a woman in real life because they are playing a character that you don't think a real woman would play. Seriously, I play a wide variety of characters, all female as I am myself. Women have as varied personalities and like as men. We don't all roll up the same sort of toon.

    Although there is a fairly reliable axiom that says the larger a female character's chest slider is, the less likely it's being played by a real woman.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I now slide the chest way up and dress them all like bikini models so guys think I'm another guy. Then we talk about manly things like spitting, testosterone and computers
  8. RP your superhero in real life and when you talk normally put your arms over your head in an arc like this ( )

  10. Name: TH3 D3ATH D3ALERS

    Currently Recruiting: Not really, however we've been known to ask people if they'd like to join the VG if they do not have one and we enjoy teaming with them. We do have room and If you read through all the info and would like to join and no one in the VG has teamed with you on either side, then we generally all team together to make sure it's a good fit first.

    Concept: A band of Contract Assassins working the Rogue Islands

    RP: Yes most of the time we all RP - only in our villain group - We have no rules about it some people don't enjoy it or don't seem to get into it, and we just generally tend to talk normally then on non VG only teams.

    SG chat is generally reserved for non RP chat while VG team chat is RP orientated.

    PvP: rarely but yes, sometimes.

    Activity: Very casual and close knit. If you want to join the villain group you're invited to a private global channel so please have a spot open for that as some VG/SG members global friends lists are full. Our base membership villain side is small but we've all known each other for awhile.

    If we see one of our members soloing we invite them to group if we are on villain side -or take requests on teaming as long as no one is involved in TFs/SFs in the SG chat channel. Teaming is done usually in the later PM hours of EST and randomly on weekends.

    Requirements to Join: You can't be a tool or harass members, RP is not adult orientated. We have no hang up about debt if you're new and you complain about it if we wipe then you will be generally laughed at and punished by having to listen to a speech by Zayra.

    We tend to use Skype if we're doing weekend teaming or TFs though it's not a requirement. If you join us on skype you don't have to be chatty however you do have to at least say hello and learn to use the mute feature if you have a lot of background noise or game sound playing. If you are not ok with swearing or being given a hard time jokingly then joining us on skype would not be a good idea on your part. *We do not RP on skype and VG team chat is generally quieter on weekends due to this*

    Leadership: In the VG: Zayra, Betty Baamalaam, and Tsurukusa Megami

    Globals: @Velara or @Zappalina

    Out-Of-Game-Contact: In game forum email to Zappalina

    Coalitions: Army of the Abyss, Bad JuJu, Nive's Villains, Damned Angels, -Administrative-Punishment-, The Underlords, The Smashinators, Injustice, Bureau of Criminal Intent

    Other: We have a smaller base with all but Pocket D and the RWZ for tele porter zones. - That will probably be expanded to include those in the near future.

    Our SG membership not by choice just by random majority is more adult female gamer orientated, however we also have a couple of male members.

    *We play on both sides of the game, and go through periods of inactivity on villain side when we are all on hero side and vice-versa. Most members in our SG if they play hero side join our villain group when playing villain side, though it's not a requirement.*
