    LiquidX wants the polling data:

    Really now? And what statistics or hard evidence have you used to actually determine this?
    Well, he's right in that "many" is more than "a few" and we've had more than a few on the forums complaining of the same things.

    That said, whether or not that's of any significance at all is another story. Finding a handful of people to agree with complaints in this game was never hard.
  2. Didn't they mention some kind of temp powers for "staying" Vig/Rogue?

    5. No AE. Ever. Farming is for easymode kids. This game is easy enough. if you want it even easier, why play the game at all?
    Just checking. You do know AE has a lot more than just farming in it, right?

    Oh, I have no illusions myself. Of course it goes live tomorrow. I'm just amusing myself until it comes back up and I can simply play again.


  6. What are you talking about? I haven't posted in this one yet!

    why dont we all just go down the pub and have a beer...
    This is my version of that. I'm sitting here babbling away on the boards while I eat my lunch. Besides, these threads are TRADITION, MAN!
  9. EDIT: Duh, never mind. Was looking in the wrong spot.

    Stances Coming?

    Peacemoon keeps hands to sides:

    Flyposes are an example of how to do it wrong, to this day the only time I have ever seen anyone using it is War Witch on the latest Vidoc.
    I use them constantly. All my flying heroes have their specific pose bind. But then, as has been noted, I'm a little weird.

    This one's my fave, though.

  11. Oooooo, all servers at Unknown.

    IT'S A MYSTERY!!!

    Stances Coming?

    Quote:
    Lothic pointed out:

    To be clear I wasn't really directly saying I liked/disliked the appearance of Ninja Run. I was just stressing the idea that its appearance and functionality very closely resembles a travel power in CO called Acrobatics. The fact that we got both Ninja Run and Walk about a month after CO went live will always remain incredibly "suspicious" to me.

    My main point is that I like the idea of stances in general and I strongly suspect what motivated our Devs to give us (something) called stances here was prompted by their appearance in CO. It doesn't really bother me in the least if this game "borrows" a few things from other games like that. I'm just hoping that whatever version of that we get here is at least as good or better.


    Oh, yes, yes, understood. You just triggered a stray thought, is all.

    And the key is to do it BETTER!
  13. I can see it happening, and probably not that far off. I think the tech will improve some by the time it happens, though.

    Turgenev must be thinking of someone with a real computer:

    That's Ultra mode kicking in. The color enhancements on the GUI are improved with ambient occlusion. Just wait 'til you start typing. Ultra Mode really changes how you login!
    Heh, I don't have Ultra Mode on. In fact, if I even do anything with Ambient Occlusion, it turns my screen black and I have to reboot. Very old card just barely able to run the other stuff, but not while playing...or moving around much.
  15. Yup, growing pains. Inv is late to mature. You really won't get working well until at least 18 and Invincibility, and to me, SS doesn't really kick in well until you get Rage. Stamina, of course, will alleviate many problems as well.

    i just made a new rule today:

    Please double check your time off request for the correct date before sending it off to the boss. This will help avoid taking the day off BEFORE a major launch. >
    OUCH! My sincere sympathies.

    ShadowNate brings back a body memory:

    I would like to point out that people who are not used to computer generated images, like those featured in most modern games, like city of heroes , have a tendency to get motion sickness or have some kind of ill feeling, even though we after hours of use feel perfectly fine.
    Very shortly after I started, someone TPed me to the top of a really tall building in Atlas and I actually got feelings of vertigo looking over the edge. Not that this bothered me. Quite the contrary, I thought it was really cool.
  18. Ah, yes, that would be weird. As would also be the first rename that came to my mind, MetroGnome.

    'FREEM!' maybe? seems pretty opposite to d00m.
    Thirded! This must become viral IMMEDIATELY!

    Forbin_Project stands the watch:

    I've been working on the idea of creating characters for specific zones that they protect. So when a certain hero reaches the appropriate level I turn off his XP and he guards that zone.
    That's really cool! I like that a lot!

    It does put me in mind of another rule of mine, but one I'm sadly behind on fulfilling. I have to go around and find the actual building (and take pictures) where each of my characters live (only one doesn't live in Paragon. Cut-Up lives at the Polk & Prodd Sanitarium just outside of town ). I think I haven't done this for about 1/4 of my characters (newer ones). I will get to it eventually, though.

    MaHaBone23 must adapt, improvise, overcome:

    Only when grammatically correct. I have Two-Fisted Sister, but I would never do Fire-Dude. Or Fire Dude' or anything like that. Also, no substituting lower case "L"s for upper case I's.
    Ah, so that would let out my The Knight-Watchman and Nuclear-Warhead. By that token, Spider-Man is right out as well.

    I will not compromise on Cut-Up though. The hyphen was intentional, as he's my "bouncing around joking Ditko hero" and the spelling is a Spidey homage.

    I misspelled the name of my BS/SD scrapper Metranome, and it kills me. He's 32, I like his concept/costume/etc, and Metronome is taken. I can't bring myself to reboot him.

    Work it in! Say he's...dyslexic or something!

    Nethergoat bounces:

    not much of one for self imposed limitations, but I do have my 'normal human' themed ninja/willpower stalker (with power graphics disabled) who has no travel power but Ninja Run and who has to navigate the game rooftop-to-rooftop whenever possible.

    it makes getting to missions an engaging mini-game.
    Hey, that's not a limitation, that's just plain fun! I changed five (I think) characters to Ninja Run/Swift/Hurdle (mostly Naturals) and I'm having a blast between missions, whereas before it was kind of go there and not pay much attention. It's very immersive!

    Golden Girl gets a delayed reaction:

    That's not really a rule
    I must be a little thick because it only now just hit me. You HAVE to break the one character rule to play in Praetoria, don't you? MWAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Aurealis calls it:

    the 672mb patch is the pre-download it's just verifying and applying the patch
    My .majorpatch is now gone, so I'd call that confirmed.

    Robo_Knight forced my curiosity:

    Well this isn't good. When I went to the log-in screen, my game windows size was reduced. There are 2 big black walls on each side of the game screen.
    Mine looked normal in that respect, but the side box with the account name and password boxes is now a bright blue. I can't even remember what it was before, but I know this is different.
