I decided to go that way because I'm perpetuabroke and I wasn't all that interested in Dual Pistols or Demon Summoning. They're OK, but I can wait for an extra $12 off (I pay monthly).
-
Ah, so your main thrust is making all the opening contacts more available? Hmmm...frankly, I'd rather they just redid the whole opening experience, from the tutorial out. I wonder exactly how Praetoria's will work out. More to think about after I see, I guess.
-
Heh, chevrons are everywhere. Nice spotting!
-
Oh, in mission there's no question. I don't care how much ice covering me makes me look doofy or shadows obscure me, or speedboost makes me run into the wall (OK, that one's a bit touchy depending on one's machine), gimme it!

Soulwind frankenslots:
Personally, once I hit 32 (since I don't slot IO's below level 35), I use a Jaunt Range/End and a Blessing of the Zephyr Travel/End at level 35. This gives 382 ft jumps at 8.9 end per jump. -
I can pretty much run from one end of most zones to the other without running out of end with no enhancements, IIRC. I have to have EVERYTHING else turned off, though. For an IP run, yeah, you definitely need end red, but how often do you have to do that. I, too, have a tendency to do the Jaunt route. One range, one end red, +4% regen and call it a day.

They were going to change the name from PodPerson to EnergyMorph. Maybe they did.
EDIT: Kitsune's faster than me.

Quote:Heehee, yes, being unmannerly in the way you ask for people to have manners is...a little nuts.
Psychoti is the master of people being rude to him:
I know that I occasionally forget to toggle off my pain's heal aura when I go to the Black Market. Not always, but occasionally. The people that send tells to please detoggle it will get a polite response and a detoggling of the aura. Those that shout and call me names and wish harm upon me because I forgot to click a freaking button in a game can suck a sack of sick with a silly straw.

Quote:Certainly an understandable attitude. To the bolded part, that's all it is. Simply trying not to mess up the people around you.
SPiNE gives details:
Manners? That's the problem I have with most MMoRPGs. Coming home from a day of work just to relax with a game just to find out that there are just as many rules and regulations to follow within the game itself as there are in real life.
What the hell's with all these self-imposed rules and such? I'm not just talking about manners alone, it's the entirety of it all. People saying you can't do this or can't do that. Can human nature not live a day without some sort of law and order?
To me, people who likes to create rules and worship them within a game are people who are failures in real life and are just trying to hold on to as much control as they can over a virtual world.
That being said, I do agree that you should not be performing idiotic actions that actually hinder players from actually playing the game itself.
Edit: I'm not talking about anyone on this thread, just in general. -
Quote:A wise move. Not only is this game alt-friendly, it's altaholic enabling!
Danny D spreads out:
~ I have eight characters right now of course none of them are that high in level, but I am experimenting with different play styles and on both sides of the hero/villain thing.
-
Quote:Ha! Good point. I think they'll probably get a little more slack due to their AT's "requirements".
Blunt_Trauma sees it coming:
If some people don't like folks who play at a breakneck speed and do their own thing in missions then it will only get worse for them blueside when Brutes appear.

Quote:In a "that's how the game mechanics work" way. It may not give them any leadership skills, but ultimately they get to choose who is and who is not on the team.
Havoc_X is resistant:
Only in a VERY narrow way of looking at it.
Perfectly clear and perfectly acceptable.Quote:I don't whine. I also don't team alot outside my group of friends, I can't stand the childish attitudes.
Unlike a lot of forumites that whine if they don't get their way, or someone has the audacity to disagree. -
Not the devs that have to code it. It's not like this stuff is "Plug and play".
-
Don't mess with moose. They're one of those animals that won't bother you if you don't bother them, but if they see you, you're bothering them.
**been chased by more than one...luckily I was on a bike and outdistanced them every time** -
I'm pretty certain neither Frost, Psychoti nor I are "random noobs". We're just people with ideas of what manners should be.
-
Quote:Oh, the AE mention above brings something to mind. I sometimes wonder if they did listen, but decided to use the exploiters as a "open beta" of their own. "Here, we know this is exploitable, exploit it so we can close the holes." Not the best method, I admit, but I sometimes wonder...
Decorum needs to edit himself:
Aside from PvP, I've never seen any evidence of that. -
Quote:Ha! Don't worry about it. People "borrow" it all the time over at CBR where I've been posting for years.
ZanderCross apologizes needlessly:
PS: Sorry Dec had to steal your format for this one!
Fun, isn't it?

Quote:While I agree that there's a sizable divide between the super-hero fans and the gamers, you can't just ignore the gamers. They're a pretty big part of the paycheck. You have to look for a balance.
Johnny_Butane wants strict adherence:
Yeah, like some people want this to be a fun comic book super hero hero game. Others want this game to be just like every other fantasy MMO or shooter and have five different blade power sets, five different sets with firearms and will vote down sets with actual super powers because, despite playing this game, they don't actually like super heores or comics, but they really wish The Matrix Online was still going.
The developers should be a little better at ignoring the latter, even if they outnumber the former, lest they forget the game they're working on.
Aside from PvP, I've never seen any evidence of that.Quote:I don't really care if the majority of players want a Night Elf EAT or to fight with THREE swords at once. I think there are times the devs should override the majority. IMO, they've got a poor track record of knowing when to listen and who to listen to.
I don't agree. It's far too unwieldy, like having a "true democracy" with everyone voting on every single little thing. They pick people they know who have helped them in the past and that they think will help them now. And by help, I mean give logical honest critiques based on the actual testing, not their vague individual desires. The beta testers aren't there to decide direction, that's decided before they ever see anything. They're there to let the devs know if it works or not, by attempting to break it. Players in all MMOs, including this one, have shown they can break things in ways the devs never imagined time and time again. I'd rather they break things in beta rather than wait for it to go live and having everyone in the beta would just make the response too large to deal with.Quote:They should always give players, all players, a chance to have their say; unlike this incident where they only let a few they handpicked do so.
Well, that can certainly be your opinion, but the "super-hero genre" isn't exactly a coherent genre. It's the polyglot genre by nature and all kinds of things fit that aren't traditional American super-heroes.Quote:But they also need to know when to adhere to a strong design direction, and that's something they lack now, IMO or at least are lacking one that's faithful to the genre the claim to be working in.
Heh, funny.Quote:Otherwise it's only a matter of time before the devs decide the majority of players really like NASCAR and they funnel a bunch of resources into putting a track in every zone. Silly, turgid and inaccurate, but funny nonetheless.

Quote:Frankly, I don't want even the "slight translucency" or that black around my feet either. Really, it should be common courtesy in a well-known laggy non-combat area to shut EVERYTHING off, but I realize I'm in a minority in that view.
Master-Blade says it's now minor:
IIRC, the graphic for shadow fall is not "contageous" anymore. Only the person with the toggle on will show the graphic. Other people are still granted the benefits and slight translucency, but they wont have the colored shroud that many people think is annoying.
EDIT: **looks up at last several posts** OK, at least I'm not alone.

Quote:Maybe he includes Vet powers? I can't imagine trying to Brawl everything.
Super_Ready notes early stuff:
Curiosity's getting the better of me. I can see how you could sloooooowly get by with Jump Kick, Air Superiority, and Flurry - but how did you get from 1 to 6? Were you teamed...?
-
Quote:Heh, while all true, I think they only really cared when almost NO ONE was doing the content, hence the changes back in the day to mission bonuses and debt. But then, that was back in the days of Jack and things are a touch different now.
anvil_NA goes way back to old complaints:
I think I might have to try this with my Blaster....I can remember doing a lot of street sweeping in the beginning! I don't think the devs like us doing it. We were skipping all their precious content lol.

Quote:15. I'm never in any hurry and have a ton of alts and play them all in a whimlike fashion. Plus shortly after I made him I had six months off with a broken computer.
Itomic wants numbers:
I also have an MA-only toon named Mission Architect, but Virtual Lad's origin is way more awesome. How far along on the path is he?
-
Why would you have two trainers in Atlas? For that matter, why is it necessary to move BAB in order to redo Galaxy? A lot of people like using Galaxy to avoid Atlas entirely.

Quote:It may not make someone a leader, but it does make them the leader.
Havoc_X is mistaken:
Something a lot of people that have posted have forgotten.
Just because you have the star does NOT make you a leader.
No whining if you get kicked, then.Quote:Sorry but there is no reason to have to do things your way.
I'll listen to other players, but that doesn't mean I have to do what they say. -
Known bug and "on the list", I believe.
