You know what I think is funny? People are getting so upset at some of this but it's only effecting the 40+ game. It's not like there are going to be ultra powerful heroes leveling up quicker now.

[/ QUOTE ]

Especially since the exp requirements at those levels are totally pathetically way over the top ridiculous large.

[ QUOTE ]
Will the bad guys get these too?

Wouldn't that be fair?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not until we can root bosses can you talk about fair.

[ QUOTE ]

9. We will have a system to do missed lower level content - eventually.


[/ QUOTE ]

Simple, just remove the damn if statements that check if your level is too high. 30 second fix.

[ QUOTE ]

A. - I think you need to watch some of the Vids of people soloing ARCHVILLIANS, which are MUCH more dangerous than a LITTLE +2 boss.


[/ QUOTE ]

You should be able to solo them, its annoying you have to find someone else to drag along.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
No one wants to go to shadow shard or the crash site and I cant say I blame them.


[/ QUOTE ]

And that's why those zones will get some attention...

[/ QUOTE ]

Just remove the level limitations and I'd go.

Translation: "That rumor isn't even loosely based in fact, to the point where I can't reply with a straight face. Instead, I'll use humor to illustrate the absurdity of it all, even though a portion of my audience may not appreciate the subtle irony."

Or something like that

[/ QUOTE ]

If they just answered questions straight there would be no problem.

ive been hearing that on the next update that is due on december 28th???? that max level will be extended to 75. but i can not find anything about it. i would have dismissed it but i've heard it from 3 other people. on 2 different servers..????


[/ QUOTE ]

[censored]? What are the devs smoking? Are they cr8zy?



[/ QUOTE ]

If they release it on december 28th they must have been smoking something - its been more than two months already.

[ QUOTE ]

Eh? I seemed to hear it did stack with Superspeed. But otherwise, sorry. Not even close. Seemed like a glorified Sprint with a glowie to me...


[/ QUOTE ]

But a cool glowie (now you can't see anything *G*)

And it did stack on the test server.

[ QUOTE ]
VIP Badge does nothing.

It isn't an Accomplishment, so I couldn't put it there.


[/ QUOTE ]

It is - you set out to buy it and accomplished it!


[ QUOTE ]

It isn't an Achievement, so I couldn't put it there.


[/ QUOTE ]

It is an achievement you managed to buy it

[ QUOTE ]

It has nothing to do with Exploration, so I couldn't put it there.


[/ QUOTE ]

It might be exploration if it the shop is in an unknown part of town.

[ QUOTE ]

It has nothing to do with History, so I couldn't put it there.


[/ QUOTE ]

It becomes history as soon as you buy it "Ah, more money to the devs so they can nerf us even more"


[ QUOTE ]

That left Accolade. I couldn't give it an effect, or the playerbase would be upset that we are "charging money to give some Heroes an advantage over others", and rightly so.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow - a socialist programmer - how differnet from the real world where there are haves and have not.

300 bucks if you elevate me to level 50 tomorrow

[ QUOTE ]

Just a thought. Which would you rather have: a brand new AT or epic power pools?

[/ QUOTE ]

Neither, i'd have access to many more pools from day one.

[ QUOTE ]
I have to laugh as well.

I have been working with Photoshop for over a decade, I can't create new tile sets in 10 mins. Give me a week or more...maybe, MAYBE.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just because you are bad doesn't mean everybody is, no?

And it does seem annoying that some things are not fixed for ever while they add other things. Of course one would assume the graphic people are not programmers.

[ QUOTE ]
Actually, Expansion 3 has two Epic Archetypes AND many, many Epic Power Pools.

[/ QUOTE ]
Now if only one could select many many Power Pools it might actually be usefull.

[ QUOTE ]
We're going to be dipping into missions of ALL levels and improving the art, AI, etc. with every Expansion. There's a bunch in Expansion 3.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just improve the exp.

[ QUOTE ]
Both Archetypes have brand NEW power sets.

In fact, there's 16 Primary Powers and 16 Secondary Powers.

Yep. Not 9. 16.


[/ QUOTE ]

Of which 12 and 14 are useless.... wanna bet?

[ QUOTE ]
There are Achievers, Killers, Explorers, and Socializers.

Achievers want to level.
Killers want to impose themselves on others.
Explorers want to see/do everything.
Socializers want to talk about it.

CoH examples –

Achievers – Power Levelers
Killers – Griefers/KSers
Explorers – Badges
Socializers – Dance Club


[/ QUOTE ]
And you have of course oh so cleverly combined it, so in order to be an Explorer you need to be an Achiver.

Down with zones barred from levels!

[ QUOTE ]
The problem with off-line characters being present in the base is what happens if the base is raided (by players or possibly PvE, who knows)? Do you really want to come back on and find out your hero was defeated while you were away?


[/ QUOTE ]

Simple: Don't make it raidable.

[ QUOTE ]

So, is this title a hint at the possibility of a water zone?

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah yes, that sounds like an easy expansion. "6 new zones! All water, with a few rocks!" - Much like "4 new zones - space with a few rocks!"

A good player realizes that games are different things to different people.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's just a bad excuse. The good DEVELOPER realize they should make different servers for the different types of people, where there are some changes in the system. Ie, make a server with exp requirement reduced by 60% for instance.

[ QUOTE ]
If you aren't having fun, then stop playing. We should adapt to the developers, not the other way around.

[/ QUOTE ]
Hell no. When they change it for the worse we complain.

[ QUOTE ]

BUT if it gets nerfed "too bad.. so sorry! Want some whine with that cheese?"

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, you must be at least level 30 in the Arrogant [censored] class.

[/ QUOTE ]

It is amazing how one person can take one line out of someone's post to manipulate itto their own ends. The curse of forums.

Am I being arrogant because I spoke my mind about people complaining about changes to their powers?


[/ QUOTE ]

No, you are arrogant because you are arrogant. The opinion had nothing to do with that.

[ QUOTE ]

Who really likes listening to this: "They nerfed (insert name of power here) and I no longer can exploit the game" over and over?


[/ QUOTE ]

Except nobody says that. Some people complain about the ridiculous large exp requirements. (Sure, not a problem if you have no life and are on 20 hours a day)

Camdist is a command that is part of the game, its listed in the help file. And if you have a mouse with a mousewheel you can just spin that instead of typing in a command.

[ QUOTE ]

"But if it gets nerfed "I am sooo sorry, it is the nature of these games for powers to be changed. it is the lumps we all have to bear. I do hope you can get past this to play the game and not be so upset" "

How is that?

[/ QUOTE ]

Given your previous comment, i'd say condescending.

People SHOULD complain when they keep change stuff (only to please a little powergaming group who are always on)

[ QUOTE ]

BUT if it gets nerfed "too bad.. so sorry! Want some whine with that cheese?"

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, you must be at least level 30 in the Arrogant [censored] class.

[ QUOTE ]

These are most certainly reactions; had we seen this better on the Training Room server we would have changed each and every one.

[/ QUOTE ]

Reduce the exp requirement by 95% in The Training Room and we'd all have a reason to be over there.

[ QUOTE ]
Now that Update # 2 - is fully fuctioning and on the Main servers. We can now turn our attention to Update # 3.


What do people think?

[/ QUOTE ]

Adjustable breastsize, like in StarWars Galaxies

[ QUOTE ]

If you make a map, or texture, or sound or anything else of the like to be used with the game, it is a derivative.


[/ QUOTE ]

No, not if its just a map, there has to be more factors.
[ QUOTE ]

Additionally, once the game is loaded into memory, the memory space which the game occupies is part of the "software." Since any new files you put in to be loaded by the game would now be occupying the memory space, you have just altered the software.


[/ QUOTE ]

No, this is utter nonsense and would be laughed out of court.

[ QUOTE ]
Also, it leaves the door open for viruses to be spread. I used to play Jumpgate and there was a problem where a player had created something "for the community" to use to help with the game, and it turned out to be a virus that he was spreading because he was about to get banned or was sick of the game or something like that.

...

Let's say someone created a mapping program that worked great, but behind the scenes was stealing your keystrokes to get your user name and password to the game. Things like that would and may possibly happen if Cryptic allows mods
here.

[/ QUOTE ]

No things like that happen people some people are idiots (the ones getting the virus)
