Quote:You know what, Nethergoat is right. I think I'll go find ways to increase my real life bank account and stop obsessing over collecting more MMO play money!Originally Posted by SoilentGreen
Sorry, I'm busying myself with making huge piles of virtual loot -- like was suggested. I don't have time for long posts.
Stocks! Bonds! Commodities trading! Maybe I'll even win the lottery!!!
It's just that easy!
(No it isn't, but the end result is much more exciting!) -

then I suggest you stop wasting your time in here and get cracking.

Along with more costume options, I can suddenly see a group of players creating a Super Group called "The Rats of NIMH".

Quote:Well to be honest, I'd much rather be getting richer in real life than in an MMO! Being able to Purple out my Warshade is great, but I'd love to get a new car, and a new computer, and a big HDTV and 7.1 surround...Originally Posted by Nethergoat
Where is the Discretion and Humility forum anyway?
I'd love to drop in and complain about how they should spend more time talking about HIGH FINANCE and wealth building. -

Converting a B to prestige, maybe?
EDIT: More points if that character is level 50 and Purple/PvP IO'd out. Extra hardcore points if that character has over 600 badges, including Veteran and Anniversary badges! -

Well, if opponent had a Circle of Protection: Red, it made things a wee bit difficult! -

i would rather cast becon of imortality, tramutize, plague wind, kicked urza's rage and overrun

A perfect team is eight Thug MMs, with Leadership powers, who all activiate Gang War at the exact same time.
EDIT: Bonus if they are all thugs/dark, and also summon a Vanguard HVAS and a Shivan. -
I'm suddenly imagining a lot of Star Fox knockoff characters now...

but rped that the portal corp portals interfeared with his spark Limiting his powers to his natural black mana powers, but hopefully the incarnate system will let me get the other four colors represented in thier full glory.
So that you can summon a Shivan Dragon, a Serra Angel, a Force of Nature and a Wall of Swords, as well as a Lord of the Pit? -

Quote:I'd like to imagine that Rularuu is in his own death star, and that in order to even get inside it, a whole bunch of teams have to defeat the outer defenses, plant some bombs and/or click some glowies somewhere.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
this, and maybe add in some kind of raid where you actually fight rularuu the ravager, would be like an alternative to hami raid (could prolly be just as difficult depending on design)
EDIT: And heavily guarded by Shard Reflections of Jack in Irons, Eochai, The Winter Lord, Deathsurge, and the Khronos Titan. And inside, there's a weakened reflection of the Hamidon that must be destroyed, that will finally summon Rularuu the Ravager upon defeat.
This also leaves such raids very open to lots of Star Wars references on the Broadcast channel.

Quote:If you're going to admonish me for stating no reasons you agree with, you shouldn't come back with "I think we should do this because I say so."Originally Posted by Tokyo
your reasons amount to "because we shouldn't penalize." I've pointed out that we should.
My suggestion isn't a bad one..it's just not a popular one. People want to be able to hoard ****. Trust me, I understand the feeling. Being able to store an excess amount of enhancements and salvage isn't helping the market supply and it isn't helping inflation.
something not being "fair" is not a bases for an argument.
You're good at speaking in absolutes, but your idea really is a bad one. Your refusal to back it up with any valid reasons or evidence as to why such a change should be made also allude to you being afraid of your idea being subject to scrutiny, lest it truly be found ridiculous.
Besides which, you're the one adamant that we change the status quo here. So the onus is on you to convince us exactly why we should go with this plan of yours. So far, you've only been good at letting us know how stupid the rest us are for not automatically recognizing your sheer genius. -
Quote:Obviously, we're not only all super rich in the game, but also in real life! We're all so independently wealthy that we can sit around playing CoH all day, every day, racking up inf and hoarding our goodies to further our evil plans to make everything more expensive in the game, mu-hahahaha!Originally Posted by Tokyo
Ugh. Seriously, did you really think this through, or just assume everyone's rich and plays 24/7?
-
Quote:I disagree, and I've explained my reasons why already. So do you have any proof to back up your idea? Any direct evidence?Originally Posted by Tokyo
If you're storing an excess amount of salvage and enhancements you're part of the problem. *shrugs*

Quote:What's this, the Conspiracy Theorist's Weekly? How is storing stuff in bases making them directly related to inf inflation? Perhaps if they were all finite resources there might be an argument here. But they're not. In fact, the only finite resource in this game is the collective time available to play the game, by all the players on all the servers.Originally Posted by Tokyo
And yet, by introducing methods of storing salvage and enhancements it does have a significant impact on influence...
Please don't say we should penalize the players for all the time they spend not playing the game. That... would be even more stupid.
Oh wait, but the idea you proposed would be doing precisely that. Yeah, that's totally nuts. That's the one reason why I won't play most other MMO's. Such negative reinforcements are rather inane. -
It's still a bad idea. Influence should not be directly related to bases in any way, other than being able to convert it into prestige.
And even if it were implimented, it wouldn't really curtail hoarding all that much. It would just be a PITA to those that do hoard, as they find other ways to do it, and it would make bases even less useful; a giant leap backwards.
It's not even a real problem anyway. Not when there's so many ways to produce more salvage and recipes, mostly by just playing the danged game. -
Quote:OK!Originally Posted by Tokyo
lol... someone else explain it to this guy. I'm too lazy.
Memphis_Bill? Tokyo has this idea that in order to get rid of inflation once and for all, all you have to do is to make poor people even poorer.
Stop the presses. Call the treasury department and get Timothy Geithner on the phone. I think we have a winner here.
This is kind of like curing the disease by killing the patient. But the real trick is that after you do this, you move the goalposts and then declare success. Nothing actually got done (and things were probably just made worse for all but those who could afford it anyway), but it certainly feels like you've done something. -
I'd love to see an Arachnos version of Firebase Zulu, and some villian only content in new Shadow Shard zones. But I'm also for having a co-op zone, with the same amount of action and content you see in the RWZ now.
EDIT: Actually, maybe it could be a "sequel" to the RWZ, as in the Vanguard is taking the fight to Nemesis directly, now, this time allied with the peace loving Rikti who realized they've been played, and they've established a base in the Shadow Shard close to Nemesis' own. Then we could get to see a Vanguard version of Firebase Zulu, and an upgraded version of Nemesis' base. Would that be cool or what?
As well, the whole concept also begs for a PvP zone on top of all that. Some resource that both sides covet and don't want the other to have, so there's a struggle there. I don't know, maybe revisit the whole "items of power" concept with that? That might work out somehow. -

I remember once logging in an ice/ice blaster on Freedom (a server I rarely go to), that I hadn't logged in in a couple years, only to find it stuck inside a building in Galaxy City. I could move around inside the building (on the first floor, anyway) and even blast foes nearby, who could not shoot back!
I think I had to get someone to TP me out. But I don't know how I ended up there in the first place. I don't think it was building that was not there once and was put there later, but I don't know. -
Quote:My Robots/Traps MM on Virtue has had "Cake or Death!" in her search note for the longest time now.Originally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
I had a character based on GLaDOS, with a note something along the lines of "Invite me and there will be cake". I did get a couple invites asking for cake. The cake, of course, was a lie.
Every now and then, I'll get a /tell asking for cake, please. -
Quote:No, not "Macdeath", "Macheath".Originally Posted by Willowpaw
And just as an FYI, Macdeath is taken as well. I am guessing he is a Shakespearian Zombies Mastermind.
You know, from "Die Dreigroschenoper"? Look out, ol' Mackey is back?
