Quote:I recall one of the transformer series where the transformation was from human -> transformer.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
True for the Exalted, less so for the Transformers. You can't really call it a Tranformer if it doesn't Transform
and that tech simply doesn't exist in game (sadly, otherwise I woulda made one >_> )
The dub for that series was so bad. So very very bad. -

Sorry, but when people try to help and organise and welcome and all that, and then it gets thrown back with a rant, what do you honestly expect?
To be fair I can see his point, maybe he thought as I did that this would be a fine opportunity to lay some ground work for a character to use in Union server RP, only for it to turn out it's been vetoed behind the scenes?
Honestly it's a perfectly plausible plot that fits well within the setting, so why the ***** fit? -

I don't think anyone would have a problem with that at all.
It's the Transformers, Exalted, Hobbits and all the like from other actual things porting over, however briefly, that'd cause problems. Because, lets face it, even in Paragon that kinda thing would make news.
Hence the reason I, personally, am just treating it like a fun alt-verse story.
Some of the smaller transformers would fit in fine in Union (say a headmaster maybe) and Hobbits would work fine as well. Exhalted depends ont he type and level, though I can see a low level Exhalted being RP'd as a fully IO'd and Incarnated character. Heck Omy has his sort of Exhalted super group. -
Cryptic won't go under, 'cash shop' free to play games make obscene money.

Request filled.
One of those fliers with the little strips of paper with a contact number that can be torn away "Inexperienced heroine looking for mentor and guide, ask for Awesometastic Girl". The contact number is that of a steel canyon youth hostel. -
Hmmmm I'm counting crossing as cannon, since I've used it to jump a character from a different game into regular (for me) use.

Pocket D role play can start anytime really, as long as there are two or more unhidden role players there, actually doing something (aka not afk) it tends to start a flash mob :P

It would be harder for NCSoft, to prove their innocence, since they region/ip lock their shop wouldn't it? So a person from Europe is outright forced to buy the EU version of the game, unless they are net savvy enough to bypass NCSoft's system.

Kings Row, CRAB BATTLE (its some sort of cave demon)
Being sensible the tomboy who had on the spur of the moment decided to name herself Awesometastic Girl, made sure to keep things like cars, bus stops and walls between her and the crab, in fact it was leaning against cover that she called over to the adventurers and none crab giant robot.
Ummm just a suggestion but we might want to try moving this thing, to a park or a car park or something? I mean robots tend to explode dont they, and that big red part sure makes it look like a trap, and well she gestures at the nearby buildings and so on Wed want to avoid shrapnel if people are still in there. -
"Do you think it's true that Statesman once released a rap album called the 'Statesman Statement!' during his hip hop phase?"
and
"In an emergency who do you save a rich, but really ugly guy or a poor but good looking woman?" -
"Did you know if you electrocute a panda its colors reverse?"
and
"Would you rather have sausages for fingers or hard boiled eggs for eyes?" -
Yeah?
And maybe you need to realise that people can and will express their annoyance at NCSoft pulling this ****. -

The point I'm making though, is that it's NOT expensive to do it in a much better way. Even if they keep the name shortening part, dumping the inactive trial accounts and giving paid accounts precedence over active trial accounts removes a LOT of the problems, AND takes care of any idiots who think its funny to name-grief.
After all in the official thread, they said they are taking feedback to the dev's This is just the unoffical moan thread after all. -
It would look ugly, and unprofessional, and would remain doing so until they fixed it, which might take them an ice age, given that it seems literally everything in CoX is interlinked.
So they'd need to change the entry for globals in the email system, the global chat system, the note system, and god knows how much of the city vault system made it into the game code before that was scrapped.
While it sucks dingle berrys the drop a letter system is probably the best option they have, it just needs more thought on what accounts it'll be triggered on. -
That's true, but what if the GUI's artwork is coded with that limit in mind?
You'd end up with people having global names, a letter or two longer than the game could actually display. -
Problem is FFM, some people have global names at the character limit, you wouldn't be able to just add EU to the ends of those ones.

Kings Row, Close to the Crab Robot.
Arriving on the scene, the Tomboy took a few moments to gawp at the crab robot, before common sense and her home worlds shrugging acceptance to the fantastical took over, a wry grin coating her lips as she remarks.
“Seen bigger and at least this one ain’t harping on about exobytes or something.”
She weighted her options, she’d ditched the rifle awhile ago, besides it had no ammo, and her powers focused on illusions, messing with a person’s mind to force them to see a twisted version of reality, and that was quite clearly a robot right there, which made her powers quite moot at the moment.
“Oh well no harm in at least trying, if it all goes tits up I’ll just scarper like the civvies.” Forming an image in her mind, she pushed out her hands and projected…
She staggered as the exobytes with her bloodstream, super charged by the rift’s energy, overloaded increasing her powers and altering her DNA as the exobytes broke down. The image she’d been trying to project, that of a man rushing towards the crab robot, manifested into reality an illusion forming into a temporary construct, powered by imagination and heading towards the robot with car crash like speeds.
“Awesome, Fantastic!” she breathed, her eyes glowing with new found energy “****ing Awesometastic!” -
After a rather inane conversation with my brother at work, I stumbled upon something that might be fun. Silly questions that people can respond to as their characters would, anyone can toss a question in, and answer in character any you feel your character would answer?
To start
"Would you rather be an egg or a tomato?"
and
"Velma or Daphne, if you had too, which one?"
Edit:
That should be questions for your characters... Remember folk don't drink and post! -

I'm in favor of having costume bits being a reward for TFs and SFs, like the Roman costume pieces. Maybe when they redo some of the old TFs, they can add in some pieces from the villains the TF is mostly centered around.
I frigging hate gated content. -
Kings Row
The stolen money had bought a change of clothes, well at least a new hat and a jacket without bullet holes in it, the clothing purchased after a strange robot had run up to her with a pamphlet. Itd been free so shed taken it, and now dining alfresco at a greasy spoon, money stretching just far enough to pay for a breakfast, as she read the pamphlet her coffee grew cold, so did the beans and sausages.
So she mused half aloud as shovelled a forkful of cold fry up into her mouth No justice league, thats a good thing, no criminal record thats a ******* marvellous thing, no money, thats bad, and more than forty capes, thats more than four tens and thats terrible.
Leaning over she gestured at the newspaper, which a slightly overweight van driver was leaving behind, he gives her a thumbs up as he walks away. Flipping through the pages, she makes her way towards the help wanted section pausing as she spots and ad page.
Aquaette recommends Sams Seafood Shack, for the best fish supper this side of Atlantis? she flips another page Hmmm? Who is this Flash knockoff? Service so fast even Im impressed. Hrrmmm
Leaning back in her chair, she started to look thoughtful, looking through the pamphlet again, as she muttered to herself.
Lets see City Hall -

Agreed. It's the character under the clothes that's heroic. :P I really think we could make great use of an Urban Pack or Secret Identity Pack or hell, just for free street clothes. I don't think Suits are very heroic if you look at a business suit in general but we have them and plenty of heroes and villains use them in the game.
I was a bit put off by that, lots of heroes have thought crime in their civvies or do so regularly. Superboy as an example. -

With a thwump, the tomboy lands face down in an alleyway, lucky for her the landing was soft, unlucky for her was why it was soft. The rift had snapped open above a crowd of mask wearing gang members, while the ones shed escaped from had been far more muscular and wearing lucha libre masks, these were wearing little skull shaped masks, not all of them were wearing masks, the leather jacketed member shed plummeted down on, was wearing an actual skull. He was also swearing copiously.
The tomboy got to her feet just in time to catch a baseball bat swing to her upper body, sending her sprawling again. Despite the ringing in her ears and the fact that her eyes couldnt seem to decide on how to focus, she managed to catch site of the fallen skull mask standing up.
You picked the wrong group to pick on cape he growled, strange shadows flowing over his skin, darkening around his hands until they erupted outwards in a series of writhing tendrils.
As her vision cleared the tomboy waved her hand, her eyes blazing with purple light as she unleashed her most powerful form of attack on the Skull gang members, forcing their minds into a deep, horrifying psychic illusion, cutting off their higher function for a few minutes. Getting back up, she wiped the blood that had started to drip from her nose, took a few hesitant steps and promptly threw up. Once shed attended to that viral task, she quickly rifled through the pockets of the mentally incapacitated gang members, before heading out of the alleyway.
Squinting, from the change in light, her mouth drops open as she sees the huge walls and flickering energy shields that make up the skyline. A sign next to her declares Welcome To Kings Row. -
((Joins in because it sounds cool))
Gotham City, yes that one.
An impish figure wearing a moth eaten top hat, runs down an alleyway the almost permanent puddles of water splashing as the tomboys boots, two sizes too big, slap against the floor.
Frick frack ******* ****! she swears as she finds the alleyway blocked by an inconveniently tall wooden fence.
Bullets, whizzed through the air, causing the impish criminal to roll to the side, hiding in the shadow of an overflowing dumpster, for a few moments before she stands up, unloading an answering couple of shots towards the alleyway entrance.
Weve got her corned get the little brat! a gruff voice called out, figures entered the alleyway, weapons kept ready and trained on the dumpster.
Hey maybe we can cut a deal? I could run a few packages for Bane, get back in his good books? the impish tomboy calls over the top of the dumpster, as she pats down her pockets for spare ammo.
After what you and Killer Croc did kid, only book youll be getting in is the obituaries! the gruff voice shouted with an evil laugh before he opened fire, followed a second later by the rest of his gang.
The tomboy criminal, made her already slight frame even smaller as she hid away from the sparks and chips raised up by the impacts of bullets.
Wheres fricking Batman when you need him? she half sobbed in manic, hysteria, sooner or later one of the gangers would realise that she was out of ammo, and would move around to finish her off.
Luckily, almost fantastically so, a rift formed, a howling, roaring tear in space and time, illuminating the alleyway with an intense purple glow. Scrambling to her feet, the tomboy spins sending a brief flurry of psychic blades towards the gang members, forcing them to scatter and jarring their aim enough that the bullets slam into the wall instead of flesh. With a desperate leap the tomboy dives into the rift, which closes a second later.
