Coin

Happy Cake Day, dude!!

And if you have that much....share!!

I love the ITF, one of the best TF's in the game! I've also done it numerous times, on different toons, with differing teams and I think it's only been failed the once.

Honestly, most of this game is hard enough already, why take out one of the best challenges in the game?

ROFLMAO!!

*Applause!!*

Just wanted to say a MASSIVE thanks to all from the Handprints SG who helped me finally get the Master Of Statesman badge on Coin last night!

Wasn't the fastest run in the world, but is was very effective, well thought out and I now have the badge on a energy blaster, so never believe anyone who says it can't be done on all AT's

Normal saturday night for him, surely?

It doesn't look like my labcoat.

Yeah, but, Praf, you're an Evil Genius Scientist, so your's WILL look different

Hmmm

Half and half, seems a bit weak in comparison to some of the better ones, but will be useful on newer toons I guess that won't have as many tokens to use.

Perhaps more though should have gone in to the order that you get things, not giving the really good stuff, like wings, trenchcoats etc quite so early?

While in an Architect mission, players will NOT get: end mission bonus, salvage, recipies, or enhancements.

[/ QUOTE ]

I like the MA but not the above. The mission bonus and the enhancemnets I can live without but not getting the normal rate of salvage and recipies. Too bad and boring in my op.

[/ QUOTE ]plus you missed of badges in there too

[/ QUOTE ]

But if you think about it for a moment, they really had little choice; otherwise the MA is just going to be a farmers paradise instead of what it's MEANT to be.


[/ QUOTE ]

Makes no sense to me to be honest. If the reward for doing these missions is so much less than even street hunting, what's the point? Unless you have a plethora of high level toons and don't need to level or gain inf, I can see no point in even looking at these missions.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh I dunno......fun?

Apart from some of the in game stuff, like proper debt and worthwhile Hami raids etc that a lot of people have mentioned, there's a lot of peopl i do miss seeing in game.

For starters there's some of the people from waaaaayyyyy back when I first started playing, such as the mad tanker called Jack, he was always someone who could make me laugh Also some of the old Sheepies, such as Mugen, he had some.....colourful cossies

I miss Psy-, not seen her in game for sooooo long, I think she's finally moved on, which is a shame as she was a top lady!

Also miss some of the people I used to be friends with over on Defiant, such as the aforementioned Plight, the always wonderful Pyra (she might be back now it's out on Mac!) and others, including a lady I was very good friends with that I foolishly lost as a friend after a big argument that also seems to have left the game for good now.

But out of all of them the one I miss most?

Mighty.

He was a top bloke

Well, that's easy sorted, add a flag to the mission showing that it has cut scenes, that way people who don't like them can avoid them. Same with other things, like GMs or SG only missions, etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why stop such people playing the mish though? Just add a flag to disable cutscenes!

[/ QUOTE ]

That's another possibilty, but that could cause issues if the cutscene passes on some important info about the mish, like that you need to find a glowie or save someone specific etc.

Like I say, there's options all round, really

[ QUOTE ]
I think it'd be better if they removed it from every Hero who already has it - it seems a bit unfair not to.

[/ QUOTE ]

Over my dead body!!! I spent two nights with people confusing me to get that badge, i'm not gonna be happy if they remove it now!!

It's bad enough they are upsetting players by removing the ability to get it, you're suggesting that they annoy more of them as well?

The whole thing is stupid, why compound the error.

I would hope that eventually things like cut-scenes are able to be added

[/ QUOTE ]

Which just goes to show that you can't please everybody all the time. I hate those cut scenes with a passion. They just bring the entire game to a sudden halt for what feels like an age. if there was a way to avoid them in the game, I'd do it.

I would hope that eventually things like cut-scenes are able to be added to the game as I find they add immensely to a great mission, the Statesman TF being a prime example with old Dr. Aeon.

It could be done as simply as you designing the cut scene offline adn the Architect allowing you to add it as an upload, so to speak? I dunno, not a programmer but I'm sure they'll find a way

I sometimes use Nova to change cossies, but I love the idea of a cossie change emote....especially if it was combined with a proper alter ego cossie and a walk emote.....would be great for doing a proper Superman style change down an alleyway

I miss.....the sound effects.....or at least I did until last night

I dunno about the rest of you, but I normally play with the sound off, mostly due to where the PC is, next to our TV, and we have kids around watching the TV, so sound goes off.

Now, i thought I didn't miss it. Honestly, nearly four years I've been playing now, I've heard all the sound effects! Last night though, I was doing Rob and Ros for the flashback badges and needed to find a glowie in a low level mission, so I turned the sound up

Man, did I forget!!

Playing with the sounds on again, on my main, Coin, who I've played since day one. Hearing the sounds of the energy blasts, the noise from the clockworks as they attack me, the sound of build up and aim firing off, the noise as I turn on my prestige slide and later super speed!! All gave me flashbacks of a totally different order!!

And then the music as I wandered under Atlas.....class!!!

If you want a real memory, fire up your first or earliest toon, flashback to the low levels and turn the sound up again and remember what it was that made you fall in love with this game in the first place

Also, I miss Plight.....he was weird

Anyway, I'm not convinced that the Praetorean universe is that Evil anyway, as none of them have either a goatee beard or an eyepatch, which are, of course, the sure signs of an Evil Alternative Universe. It's the Law.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is true, it was on Star trek, so it must be true, it's like being told by Fat Bloke In The Pub.

[ QUOTE ]

And those dimensional explorers were right slackers - OK, they discovered the Evil Universe and the Nazi Universe, but where's the Universe Where Rome Never Fell? Eh? Honestly, getting killed by an Evil Super Nazi before you've finished collecting the set is a definite sign of a lack of professionalism.

[/ QUOTE ]

You also missed out the universe where the damn dirty apes took over, and the one where women are incharge of the world and everyone has to own at least 20 pairs of shoes by law.

On the issue of server mergers, there are no plans to do so at the current time. Should that ever change, you will receive plenty of notice. There are quite large technical hurdles that would need to be resolved before anything of this sort were to occur.

[/ QUOTE ]
At the current time, keyword. Even if there are no plans, it remains a possibility. By accepting the possiblity, it will be easier IF they eventualy decide to do so, to accept and move on. So even if it will never happen, you always keep it in mind IF eventualy it does happen.

I was, no i am, a happy Tabula player, the closure came quite unanounced, but since people would 'expect' it to happen it was less hit in the face.

(ironicly speaking, was there 'any plan at that time' the sudden closure of the NC office happened?)

[/ QUOTE ]

I expect the world to end.

I hope it won't happen during my lifetime

Netx tuesday mate.....what, no one tell you?? I'm sure there was a memo......

...uh oh.....religious debate!!

Run for the hills!! :S

This is the one subject I stay away from, I tend to get somewhat......heated about beliefs

Anyway, I see the point FFM is trying to make, it's easy to "prove" any supposition when you're not using actual facts.

Still deciding on Decembers, but for November, I'd like ot nominate Lady Arete's Badge Tracker file

Tis damn handy to have an offline system and it's nice to see it being updated as well

ROFL!! I so want them for my kids

[ QUOTE ]
Sadly, there's not much point while the rewards for defeating a GM are so pitiful.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh I dunno, how about just plain old fashioned fun?

I know the Handie SG occasionally have GM hunting nights and they are always a laugh

[ QUOTE ]
I really get this gut feeling they are keeping something big hidden from us, something that's not been mentioned by the devs, the mods, etc. Something that will make people go "woooaahhhhhh!!!!"

[/ QUOTE ]
You mean...a pony!?!!

[/ QUOTE ]

A Special Link, just for Standoff

Agreed

Personally, I would love to see Dual Pistols added to the game, but I don't want it to be done in a half [censored] way. I loved the wya they did Dual Blade, with the follow on additions depending on which power chain you did. Something like that for pistols/guns etc where you can get different effects for where/what you shoot would be brilliant.

As for MA. I personally can't wait to see what it's like, I'm really looking forward to trying all the new content that the players come up with and also having a bash with it myself.

But no, I'm not explecting a lot extra with Issue 14, haven't been since they announced they were splitting them aprt for the last issue. I reckon that issue 15 will be MASSIVE though, as it's going to be the 5th anniversary of the game, so I think, from a marketing to current players perspective, they will save all the major stuff for that.

I really get this gut feeling they are keeping something big hidden from us, something that's not been mentioned by the devs, the mods, etc. Something that will make people go "woooaahhhhhh!!!!"

Anyway, I'm still loving this game so I'll keep on playing

COUGH!!
