Yep, emotes would be awesome. Maybe even one unique emote per pet, like having the gnome jump on your neck and start punching you (for no damage).

Fury PVP bug may be fixed soon? Awesome!

I just want to be able to have Arachnos Personnel sitting around my base. D:

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah or other thematic NPC's.

Maybe a group of "generic" heroes/villains (in supergroup colors!) doing the warm-up emote together. Or a token scientist looking intently at whatever you place him next to, and taking notes. Maybe a security guard pacing casually back and forth. Or possibly a guard bot hovering around a limited area projecting a small searchlight.

None of these NPC's need to have any actual defensive function, and could even simply "disappear" during an actual raid for the sake of convenience/simplicity. Or maybe count guards/sg-member NPC's as "pets" with simple attacks. (It's hard to picture "creating" people with salvage, but some of the mutation/natural salvage might suit it well enough. And, of course, there's nothing super-science or sorcery can't accomplish!).

And cage dancers from Pocket D. We need cage dancers.

I remember getting trapped in one of the fountains in Atlas Park because I didn't know how to jump ...

Hopefully Marvel will put enough pressure on the new Cryptic guys who will be on the Marvel title to step up the comic-book power-levels.

[/ QUOTE ]

Definitely. Try The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction for true comic-book power levels while still facing serious challenges. Once they can translate a game like that into an MMO format, I'm in.

When he says the invention system can be used to fashion enhancements, I wonder if he is referring to normal types of enhancements, or to new types? Like maybe weaker versions of Hami-Os.

If it's the former, it'll still be useful up to the mid 30's or so, but then most toons will have the inf to buy a full set of SO's anyway. If it's the latter, it could be useful all the way to 50.

And yes, all of this bug fixing has pushed out I8 beyond the original "September" estimate I gave back in May.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fair enough - much better to delay an issue and make sure it's running smoothly than to add to the current bug count. It's also good to hear that the bugs are being worked on.

Thanks for the communication, it really goes a long, long way toward making the players feel part of the process.

Edit: Ooh, just noticed the Dominators are getting some love in I8 as far as the LRSF is concerned. Great to hear! I rarely play Dominators myself but ecouraging team diversity on the LRSF can only be a good thing.

I'd be happy if you announced that Issue 9 was entitled "Bug Hunt" and contained zero new content, but was instead a thorough cleansing of as many bugs as possible.

No new bugs til we fix the existing ones. Sound like a plan?

[/ QUOTE ]

Seconded!

Fix the Memory Leak bug, lag, rubberbanding, long zoning times, mapserver disconnects, and the base kick bug, and it'll feel like a completely different game.

Decor
Originally suggested by: American Valor
(But this cool idea was taken from a question posted in the forum.)
Category: Wall Detail
Customizable? (Y)
Type: Picture (ingame Screenshots)
Description: Like the "Modern Art Frame" which is a blank canvas Wall Detail. This item is customizable with screenshots taken in the game to personalize the Supergroup base.

Limitations: Same as all decor items.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oooh I like this. Capturing important/fun supergroup moments for all to see. Great for a Trophy Room. Something like this would remind members that they're part of a team , not just individuals. Make it clickable for a close-up view.

It'd be nice if Positron could explain what he meant by his statment.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't hold your breath.

Just adding my name to the list of those concerned with lag/FPS/memory leak/long zoning time issues. It really takes a lot of the fun out of the game when your toon keeps freezing/rubberbanding when all you're doing is superjumping or even flying to your next mish ...

Performance has taken a major hit in the last couple of issues. Let's give it a hug and some warm cocoa.

Arcade Game

Description: When clicked, you may deposit 25 inf to play a simple video game

Think Pac-man, Galaga, Arkanoid, etc. Something that takes few resources but is fun. Two player mode against a fellow SG member would be great! In a pinch, they could use the pinball machine graphic from Pocket D ...

Great job all.

Can anyone tell me how to unlock Recluse as a contact? Do you need to do every arc for your patron, or do you only need the badge that unlocks the patron power?

But of course, with increased risk, comes increased reward!

Right, devs?

... right?

Hmm ... Cuppa said "not before the end of the month" ...

Posi said "this month" ...

Maybe it'll be released *at* the end of the month, and both will be true!

OK, grasping at straws here ...

[ QUOTE ]
CAn we get a dev to explain what minor tweaks are and a firm answer to the when i7 is coming out issue we are after all paying costumers supporting your bussiness.

[/ QUOTE ]

Positron already gave us a firm answer. This month. Will you believe them if they give you another firm answer?

[ QUOTE ]
Eh... guess I'm in a nit-picky mood.

[ QUOTE ]
No doubt. But if you don't know when something is going to be released, don't say "It'll be out this month".

Positron: "I7 to live is simply "this month"."


[/ QUOTE ]

He didn't say that.

Shouldnt matter if this is a holiday or not....I7 has been long in the making and theyve been putting this off for way to long. They need to get in gear and get it on LIVE ASAP. Some of us are tired of waiting and others are trying to make their vacation times around it and cant when they keep putting it off. Come on guys....lets get it moving already.

[/ QUOTE ]

Broken != putting it off. If stuff doesn't work yet, it won't do anyone any good by rushing things.

No doubt. But if you don't know when something is going to be released, don't say "It'll be out this month".

I think that debt in a PvP zone should be cut in half, like in missions. My main reason? Griefers.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldn't have a problem with it, but in that case they may need to cut the xp you get from killing npc's in half too in order to meet the whole "risk vs. reward" thing.

Which they've already thrown out the window by removing 9/10 of the rewards from the Katie Hannon AV's without adjusting the risk.

Just saying.

Wait, what's the reasoning for disallowing xp gain during the trial? Would it be abusive in some way? How?

[ QUOTE ]

Nor do they change the rating of the game by allowing players to kill helpless civilians.

[/ QUOTE ]

Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, rated T for Teen. You kill citizens all the time, who run around screaming and begging for their lives.

Hmmm ... I wonder if there are any other games rated T for Teen.



One caveat: in the Hulk, cows are indestructible. This is not a joke. You can pick cup a cow, destroy a tank with it, then a helicopter, then a mech, and repeat ad nauseum.

"Tougher than a two dollar steak" indeed ...

All I can say is that the storage vaults better be tested. And tested. And tested.

The last thing anyone wants to see is a Hamidon Enhancement disappear because they got DC'ed out of the base right after they placed it in the vault. And the last thing they want to hear is a dev saying, "Sorry, we can't replace it for you."

Toggle-dropping is annoying as all crap. Keep it out of PvE, and, pleasepleaseplease, look into replacing it with something else in PvP, too!

[/ QUOTE ]

AMEN!

It would be nice if tankers had a special ability that ... you know ... actually *worked* (in pvp i mean).

If Gauntlet is unbalancing in PvP, simply make it so that instead of 'punchvoking', it creates a PBAOE for each punch, which increases the duration/magnetude of a successful use of the Taunt power. At least then Tankers would be able to have a special ability that works in PVP, just like every other archetype.
