  1. It didn't connect instantly but i left it for 2 mins and it came up, so i should imagine with a little patience it will connect on it's own.

    Edit: to say I'm with Virgin media also.

    Interactive base items, both the pointless and the useful.

    Pointless:[*] A tv that you can turn on and off[*] A pinball machine that shows a short animation of playing the game (with interaction would be nice, but probably neigh impossible)[*] A diagnotic station for a longbow/arachnos flier that runs a scan and gives up the result (a version for green ligh, red light and random?)


    Useful:[*] A computer that shows your statistics over the last mission(s)[*] A door. Slide, turn or rotation? (basic ones, as well as the secret bookshelf versions?)[*] A button that triggers other placable items, for instance alarm lights.


    Ah, one can dream...

    Want now please! i always wanted the door hidden behind a bookcase with a secret room behind it or something. Don't think the slidy or spinny doors would work for Arcane but maybe you could have a wall that is'nt a wall if you get my meaning. You walk down a corridor and it looks like a dead-end, but you can just walk through and ta-daaaa.

    but yeah, /signed.

    Or possibly the new forums? which is more likely given the error.

    I noticed something else with the Boombox: if you check a player's info while one is out, it'll disappear

    Wow, guess the emote's are frazzled. I hope GR has seen this because I forgot to bug it in game

    Boombox

    This is just a small thing but when i click on the Boombox emote (any of them) it does the dance emote instead. i have to go back in to the Boombox thing and press it again for it to work.

    Earlier on today Boombox wouldn't work at all no matter how many times i clicked. Is it just me or are others having the same problem.
  6. Simply put if you don't like the length of Posi, don't play it. I have no problems with it considering the large amounts of merits at the end.
    There are plenty of other things you could do without doing Posi if it bothers you so much, that's the wonder of this game.

    I am not saying nerf Rommy so he is not a challenge for anyone, make it so he's that little bit easier for the unusual/weaker mix of toons yet still a challenge for a l33t mix of toons.

    I'm sorry to use the cliche but you can't have your cake and eat it too. It's one or the other. I think this is down to personal preference, you think ITF is too hard, i think it's just fine and love doing it. If your going to make a suggestion at least make one objectively with a view all around rather than one based solely on what you want. The reasons you give are quite minor in terms of how it affects the game and seem to be more about what you want.

    I want giant bunnies stalking around the place eating those damn annoying pedestrians so i can watch and laugh, but just because i want it doesnt mean it would be good for the game and/or everyone else.
  8. Recently found a love for Controllers and i adore the Blaster AT. Can't say i find Stalkers/Scrappers that entertaining and i find WS/PB too mind bogglingly difficult too play. You have so many power options it's ridiculous. Imho they're AT's for those who like stats and figures rather than just for fun.

    Serial Code

    Well I put in a support ticket to ask and the response I got was it was being upgraded to Senior Support Staff. Obviously they don't even know what's gonna happen

    Serial Code

    well this has probably been asked already but nevermind.
    I got some free trial serial codes on my account a while back, one for Tabula Rasa, one for Lineage 2 and the other for CoH.

    Obviously i'm already subscribed to CoH and i'm just wondering what will happen if applied it to my account. Will it make any difference?

    Hey, funnily enough I had a blind invite last night, was on my screen before I had even finished loading. Was a little drunk, and in the mood for a laugh and accepted. I was member 2, said hi, then saw more people joining. When we had about 6 members, all asking what we were doing, the leader gave me the star.

    I ended up selecting a mission, although being a level 28 in a team of 25s meant it was tough (especially as it was the lady jane mission, which I have yet to complete on a team) so we bailed and did one of the 25's arcs.

    The team creator stuck around for most of it, and had managed to find a very good team, although we lost a few but replaced them with some friends of mine. Turned out to be one of the better nights I've had recently, although that could also be down to the rum.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Twas a good team even if i was a little out of it. Rum always makes me think of Pirates of the Carribean, Epic films and i cant wait for the fourth.
    'But... Why is the rum gone!'

    QR - You should already know who he is: look at the bottom of the page where it names the moderators: you'll see Ghostraptor and Palladium.

    Palladium was the mod more often found on the French boards and when GR was on holiday iirc.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Wonder what will happen when GR goes on holiday now... Better not turn into the free-for-all we had over christmas.

    IMO mocking with other people's religional or national values a bit out of way. Those values can be right or wrong but we should respect their sacred feelings.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Straying OT, but while I wouldn't mock other people's religious beliefs here (it's against the EULA, after all...in other circumstances, though...) they aren't getting a free "respect" pass from me just because the label "religious" is attached.



    [/ QUOTE ]

    As i said everyone have their own right to belive what they think it is worth to believe but giving a link about a religionous site with insulting words wasn't necessary. As FFM said there are many stupid thinks running around on the net.

    I never think "religion" is an off topic for discussions but it is, when it comes to insults or humiliation. At least not in this place...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I probably better let this slide, but I just can't. So I'm going to make this one post and leave it at that.

    Just for the fun of it, read a bit through this site: FSDT. It collects quotes from religeous forums and blogs from all over the internet, people who I should respect according to you. Religeous extremists like young earth adherents and the likes, are NOT worthy of my respect. period.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I have to admit reading some of that site upset me a little. Some of the things people believe, I mean one lad took his own life because his own mother told him homosexuality was immoral and he should resist his urges. Basically he was forced into suicide. It's a crazy world, one i am ashamed to live in sometimes

    Re: Cloak and Dagger, keeping the players informed of what's coming, yada yada yada.

    My take on it is this: What's in development and what's coming up is more or less irrelevant. The meat and tatties of the game won't change no matter what you bolt on to it, and frankly, if you're bored of that, whatever shinies come out later aren't really going to change your opinion of it in the long term.

    I like and enjoy the game as it is now (though I don't deny there are bits of it that royally get on my pecs), regardless of what the devs have in store for us. Anything they add to it later is just icing on an already fruity and sumptuous cake.

    Some advice

    I think this thread is a tad hypocritical if you admit yourself you do these things. I'm sure everyone already knows what they should be doing and this thread just makes you appear as some wanna be mod. If GR thought there was a problem he'd say something.

    Fact is if blind invites annoyed you that much you'd change the flag to red.

    [/ QUOTE ]If it's okay for you to expect this tiny bit of extra effort from us, then it's also okay for us to expect the tiny bit of extra effort of sending a tell in advance from you. Works both ways like that, unless you're a hypocrite.

    And think of the teleporters!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Funnily enough i always send a tell first, never do i send blinds I'm just playing Devils Advocate, also i really don't find blinds as irritating as some people seem to when all i have to do is click No.

    Now this is odd.

    Less the 24hrs after I post a comment asking for the cloak & dagger act to be dropped we get yet another post full of cloak & dagger stuff.

    WHATS WRONG WITH COMING OUT AND TELLING US WHAT YOU'VE GOT PLANNED???

    Very little of that post is new info. I'm sure we all know the MA is full of "under the hood" stuff, and yes we understand that its a big job, so it would fill a whole issue in it's self - but why oh why say "and some other stuff".

    I'm left with the impression that the "stuff" is of so little value that the devs are imbarrassed by it, and it shames them.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Or they're giving us enough to whet our appetite but not enough so other people can steal ideas. From what i understand the MA is unique, and however much you may not like the fact there is still 'competition' who will steal ideas.
    NcSoft have to find the right balance between letting us know whats going on but not giving too much away to other who might use it for their games.
    Imho NcSoft manage this pretty well.

    The Future

    Your probably not gonna like this but it sounds like complete martyrdom to me. You think the game is dying and you leaving is somehow going to make people see this and change it. Nothing is going to change and i have to agree with the rest, that your problems are through boredom than anything actually wrong with the game.
    I wish you luck with what you do but i imagine it'll be the same when you return.
