  1. I guess it must be noise, because that number in 31 bits + sign, converted to ASCII is just "ÙýÚ:"
  2. Combat level is represented by a 32 bit signed integer. Huh.

    And that goes for everyone.
    Yes, mother.

    I see slot machines and craps tables in the Golden Giza. I think they even have blackjack. But I've never seen poker. In fact, I've never even see any NPCs playing those games, much less the other players. I had no idea you could gamble for inf in this game. When did they add this in?

    So its clear, the only issue I see is offering things for real money not available via the game. I thought it was addressed for everything except some costume unique's right?
    To be honest, I really don't care. Let them sell millions of items only available through the market. This game needs more money thrown at it. More money for more resources, programmers and artists. I'm all for that.
  5. You know what's really funny is that all of the things asked here for improving Pocket D already exist for the myriad of virtual nightclubs that exist on Second Life...

    ...at least during the month I explored it... >.>

    Funny, all this time I thought I was playing a video game.

    You mean if I play CoH long enough, I may win a million dollars? W00T!!!
  8. I would have really wanted this, if they had updated the special effects and made it widescreen. What I saw in that preview? Eh.

    Such as taking over the world?

    Do you want them to add more content? Do you want them to improve the core engine? Would you like them to perhaps completely replace the engine with something more modern?

    Of course you do! We all do! That kinda stuff won't happen without more money. A lot more. So pony up more of the Benjamins and show the devs some love.

Perhaps you consider that subjective, but calling it disingenuous and implying ulterior motives is just being provocative.
    Immersion is somewhat subjective. It depends so much on your willing suspension of disbelief vs. the limitations of the medium.

    Which brings me to...

    Trivial in perhaps more than one sense. Such switches have generally been received as unsatisfying by comics readers.
    You should not have to be reminded that this isn't a comic book. It's a video game. Those are both very different things. This game may have been inspired by comic books, bit it's not a comic book. How many video games based on comic books actually manage to mimic an entirely different type of medium with any accuracy? Not very many, from what I can remember. And those were all single player games. An MMO is going to have a lot more difficulty with that sort of thing.

    That said, I'm trying to stop thread-sitting here, so feel free to continue this discussion without me.
    Probably just as well that you do. I'd have told you what everyone else did, if I'd discovered this thread earlier. I will always argue against anyone who clamors for less choice and diversity.

    There go my plans for remaking Davy Crockett in the game. I was all set to kill me a bear when I was level three.

    Obviously, this set should summon lions, tigers and bears.

    Aaaaand, I'm saying that I can get all that stuff in my city without having to go to France (EDIT: I mean, all of Europe, LOL). So?

  23. Well then why don't we just send in the Praetorian Hamidon after Mot? That would be epic.

    But seriously, with all of these simultaneous alien, supernatural and extradimensional threats happening all the time, it's a wonder that the United States of the game's Primal Earth hasn't turned into a ruthless empire by now, that meets even potential threats with extremely powerful force.

    I'm sure there has to be a few congress people and generals talking about how they have to get their hands on as much alien technology in order to reverse engineer it and... wait, this is starting to sound too much like Stargate SG-1.
  24. So is this pointing to what the "Coming Storm" is actually gonna be about? We think it's gonna be about an alien invasion, but really it's going to be about all the old gods waking up and roaming the earth and causing great havoc.

    And the Rikti will be shaking their heads at us and be all like, "This is why we killed our gods a long time ago!"

    More like Mot and Rularuu obviously went to school together as kids.
