    You keep saying you don't want an exploit in the same post that you ask for an exploit. Being able to redily switch between a priamarily offensive and primarily defensive build would be an exploit in and of itself.

    If they were going to change the timer and/or 'go to trainer' requirements, they should implement the rules of where it could be done. i.e. Can't switch inside of a mission or in a PvP zone.
  4. I'm not sure if this has been posted here before. If it has been, I couldn't find it. Earlier today I happened across a method of reliably resetting the Safeguard missions for the purpose of repeating the side missions.


    As soon as you enter the mission, run straight to the bank. Defeat ONLY the mob that contains the "signature villain", which is heading for the vault. Do not aggro the additional mobs inside the bank. Once you have defeated the "active" mob, you are free to roam the map and complete the side missions. The timer for the mission never starts, since you didn't actually complete the main mission and the mission doesn't fail because the mobile mob has been defeated. They can't reach the exit.

    Once you have completed the side mission, exit the mission, reset and repeat.

    I know that on the villain side of things, the mission owner has to remain outside of the mission for this to work. I had the mission owner outside on mine as well, but didn't test to see if that was a requirement.

    Hope this helps.

    LBx has moved!

    OK, not sure who did it or why, but someone gave me bad rep with the comment "Tax E is mean". While I may not agree with that statement, what in the heck does it have to do with me and why do I get negative rep for it?

    LBx has moved!

    The LB channel is now set to private. If you would like to join the channel, send an in-game tell to @Cap'n Punch, @Leper Kahn, @Cappy3, @Pigtails or @Biledriver

    LBx has moved!

    We have officially begun the switch from LBx to LB. When you log in, you can join LB by using /chan_join LB

    The LB channel is open for now. It will remain open for a week or so.

    Once you have joined LB, plese use /chan_leave LBx to leave the old channel.


    Thanks.
  8. Here is a chart of the voting results for the new channel.





    And here is an 'enhanced version, made specifically for Dragynmaster.

    Maybe you should read what you posted. You weren't "just asking a question", but posing your question in such a manner as to offend.

    I was just wondering why picking a new channel name needed to take more than 2 months when in the end it's not going to matter what you call it as long as it's reasonable.
    It hasn't taken 2 months. 2 months would be 09/16. The initial post was asking for idea for naming the channel. The current operators of the channel wanted to give the Liberty players the opportunity to choose the name rather then just make a new channel and force it upon people. We gave people time to share their ideas, just over 2 weeks, and then created a poll, on 08/05, so the people of Liberty could vote for the ideas they liked. This brings us to now, 08/25, which is not quite 6 weeks from the first post. There was no need to rush this, so we thought it would be best to take our time and let as many people as possible see it and respond.

    I thought the new channel was a good idea, but is it normal for the ppl on this server to be so easily offended by questions ?

    I have a couple of suggestions for you. First, learn to use a calendar when discussing periods of time. Second, if you don't want to offend people try not wording things in an offensive manner.

    Of course, if you don't care then none of this matters.
  10. It's been nearly 6 weeks since posting the poll for the replacement of the LBx channel. If you haven't voted yet, please do so ASAP. I will be closing the survey tonight at 1AM Eastern time.

    Thanks for all your help in this effort.

    Any private channel with only one Mod is a channel made in futility. If something happens that causes the single Mod to be out of game for any length of time, there is nobody to invite newcomers. Another very good reason to have more than one mod, and probably a good reason to have another besides Valor, is that you can't always be online to invite people. It is almost impossible for a single mod to cover all times zones and very difficult for just two.
  12. I just wanted to let everyone know that you can only vote once on this poll. If the system, for some reason, allows you to vote more than once, only the first submission will count. Any duplicate submissions will be discarded.

    We would like to get as many people to vote as possible. This way the channel name will be decided by a good majority of the people from Liberty.

    Again, the link to vote is below.

  13. Come on people, lets get voting!

    this was never in question. What I was referring to was the fact that a player is enforcing the EULA is, in and of itself, against the EULA.

    This channel will differ from LBx and others in that it will be kid-friendly and easy on the eyes for those who don't like the foul language and discussions that so frequently crop up there. The EULA will be enforced in this channel.

    Not trying to stir trouble, but you are aware that a player trying to enforce the EULA is also against the EULA, right?

    If I'm not mistaken, they make good use of the phrase "or any other conduct determined to be inappropriate by NC Interactive Support, in its sole discretion".

    That being said, I completely agree with your choice to create a 'family friendly' channel. You are well within your right to have a channel with rules as you see fit. I joined it immediately and added it to the chat tabs on the toons my kids play. Their toons have never had the LBx tab, and never will, just for the reasons that you have stated.

    Although we've not seen eye-to-eye on several occaisions, I will miss seeing you in LBx. If you should decide you want to rejoin, just let me know.

  18. Ok, it's time to find out what the new channel name should be. I have created a poll that will allow us to make a popular decision. You can find the poll at the link below. Please give each possible name a rating.

    Thanks!

    How about asking a Dev to just kill the Global channel and then we just start over from scratch as LBx.

    To this point I have not been able to get any dev to respond to this. I have sent a PM to several red names and received no response at all. I opened a ticket with support and was simply told "At this time, this is not a current function of the game."

    Unless I can get a response from the "powers that be", our only recourse will be to create a new channel.

    What I don't understand is if all we are doing is creating another "LBX" won't it just fill up immediately by everyone migrating over to it?

    Should ideas about splitting LBX into two "sub-chats" be considered or is it just assumed that everyone will just join both of those and we would still have the maximum density problem?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I think the idea is to move all the active players and leave behind everyone who has since left the game or don't even take notice of the channel but are still counted as belonging to it.

    Plenty of dead bodies floating in the channel you could say...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This^. The channel rarely goes over 200 unhidden players online at any given time. That means that there are a lot of inactive accounts that are taking up space in the channel. The move will give us a fresh start.
  21. We will work on how to decide when we reach impending doom. We're just looking for ideas right now.
  22. [ QUOTE ]
    Just curious why it has to be closed. Those who wish to migrate to a new channel can do so. Those who want to stay can choose to stay.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Sorry for the delayed response to this. I don't know how, but I completely missed seeing it until just now. The reason for the channel being closed is to keep the advertisers (gagora, hugecheap, etc.) from joining and spamming us.

    Also, if we open both and keep them that way, we effectively split the community. This is counterproductive, as many see OBx as the best way to fill a TF or announce an event.

    Just log a support ticket to fix the fact that you can't kick offline accounts.

    I did just that. This was the response.

    Hello,

    At this time, this is not a current function of the game. However, I will forward the information you provided on to our Development Team.

    The Development Team is in charge of planning and implementing the design of the game. If you would like to share your ideas about this, we encourage you to express them on the forums, where they can view your feedback first hand. The Development Team reads the forums regularly and many changes to the game have come directly from the feedback of players like you.

    You can reach the City of Heroes or City of Villains message board at http://boards.cityofheroes.com.

  24. The Liberty channel, LBx is quickly reaching it's membership limit. It is for this reason that we will need to do what was done with the LB channel. It will soon be time to create a new channel and close the old one.

    We are seeking ideas around a name for the new channel. The chosen name should be short, to make it easier to manage. If you have an idea, post it here. Let's see what we can come up with.

    Thanks,
    Cappy

    Maintenance

    [ QUOTE ]
    Mission Architect has caused allot of bugs and bases still have bug issues as well. In addition the devs are dishing out the penalties for abuses to the architect system like power leveling and extreme farming. So I would imagine this patch is to ban some toons and remove from players badges that were created or obtained from these extreme cases of MA abuse and to put in place flags to catch such abuses quicker in the future. Read the newest city scoop article from Positron.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    They don't have to pull the servers down to do this. They can ban accounts/toons/missions without any sort of maintenance at all.
