I think arctics comment regarding better use of dev time was vs the OPs suggestion and not a new engine.

As long as we can get a ray of light emote that will shine down on us through the clouds, acompanied by an angelic chorus.

I checked the wiki and it was 15-20 I think. I should be able to clear up to 20 to let me play at whatever level I need. I will warn you I'm new at empathing, so a second one wouldn't be amis.

I don't think you are going to scare this one off any time soon.

Not sure what server you are on mate, but I'm usually around on Union most nights, and end up on a team. Feel free to add @Dave N Smith to your globals.

I would suggest when you find people in a team you like, add em to your globals and suddenly the world looks busier.

However, to add to that, a server list merge with the US servers sounds good to me.

As long as there is a hair blowing in the wind emote. There is nothing finer than seeing a hero on top of a building, overlooking a city with their hair gently blowing in the wind.

Imagine stading in the face of the 'coming storm' and having your hair and cape blowing in the gale.

I'd be up for that. I have a few characters that could fit, just let me know who you want to bring.

level 40 scrapper
Level 25 Tank
Level 15 (or so) healer who I can level up some more this week. Should be pushing 20 by the weekend. (this would be my prefered char for this)
Level 10 Blaster who I could get up to 15 for this

I have a question about the logic of a proposed server jump to the USA.

If Unions busy times (activety wise) correseponde roughly with the USA quite (barring the big two servers) times, won't we be jumping from one level of activity to exactly the same level of activety?

If a major gripe about a server merge with union is the fact you would have dupe name issues- wont you have the same problem going to the usa servers?

If, say half the euro population migrated, they would be split across the usa servers so there would be minimal population increase for those servers.

So, my conclusion is simple: Merge defiant and union but (bearing in mind this is the internet, from a corporate perspective keep us all under the same service team.

That way, the major gripe of being neglected would be wiped. Same forums, same website same service.

Effectively Unient (!) would simply become another usa server, the only difference being where our server is housed and the maintainance for that.

No?

[/ QUOTE ]

No. At the moment we have a set number of character slots per server x 4 servers. The states have that x 8 servers ( think it's 8) so from the start have twice as many character slots as us. Added to the fact that 2 of our servers are in another language so that limits it more. If you merge them we lost half our character slots, where as if we merge the 2 server lists we end up with the same number of servers as the US players and more options on which server to play on.

[ QUOTE ]
That's exactly how it works. When you switch to your second build it is initially at level 1 (zero really). You have to speek to the trainer to level up one level at a time until your current level.

It's very clunky on level 50s, but is okay on new characters, since you can level each build in tandem.

[/ QUOTE ]

But if you can only swap builds every 15 mins, then you would only be able to level the build you are playing, otherwise you would have to wait to swap back. Seems that the best option would be to level the 2nd build at the end of each play session.

[ QUOTE ]
Its just a sneaking suspicion really, anything less I imagine will leave people either peeved at their altered builds or not launching into the prospect of building that alternative build with gusto because they are skint.


[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not sure I understand this, it's sounds like you think that a second build would require a respec to create, however I would have thought that you could create your second build from the word go.

If you have a respec, does it apply to both builds? Or just the active one?

Not sure how you come to that conclusion.


[/ QUOTE ]

I came to that conclusion based on your comment that scrappers could take the taunt power from the pools. Based on that, so could tanks, so there is really no reason to have it in the primary or secondary pool. As was posted below mine the pool power isn't as effective and the range on the scrapper taunt is very good so it can be used to pull mobs very effectivly too.

LostNinjaConfront takes up space in a primary set which could have been used for something else which amplifies the primary set or compliments the rest of the attacks in the set. Group Flight and Group TP does not take up space in a primary set and thus you can't compare it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Surely the same applies to Taunt on Tanks too then?

I actually had someone on a respec trial tell me that when I respec I should remove that power, along with one other that was useless. I politly pointed out that I used the other power heaps as it had a stun and enabled me to negate one target and move on to another. He still insited it was useless and I needed to lose it.

As for the taunt, played last night as the only melee char in a team of squishy healers. Used it heaps to grap the big guy as I ran past to kill the opposition healer. When I didn't grab the big guy squishies went down, but if I didn't kill the healer everyone went down.

I prefer the gender-neutral "deity", or even "pantheon"

[/ QUOTE ]

But Pantheon means the temple of all the Gods.

[/ QUOTE ]

It can also mean all the gods collectivly. As in the greek pantheon is used to mean (I'm likely going to use the wrong pantheon here ) Zeus, Hera et al. It describes the dieties believed in at the time.

I like these ideas. /signed.

..In addition I would like a teleport animation of an elevator that comes up out of the ground 'Bill-'n'-Ted style, you enter before it switching to a cutscene of your character inside listening to Musak™ whilst /em,waiting - before the doors going 'ding' and opening for your exit.

Now that would be class!

I have decided that Huge toons and caves aren't a good mix. And I never knew there was a tone for glowies. I'm not deaf, but guess I don't have the sound on high enough.

Nice concept. I like the idea.

Hmmmm, sounds a little bit much like real life to me.

However I would love to see my offline toons ingame in Civillian clothes as NPCs when I'm on with another character.

Thanks guys, it's always interesting to see what other people wrote. Nice story on Rose there Feralyn, similar to my villian, with the anger at the father thing.

I would be interested in this, but can't be sure I'll be there. Would be 18:30 UK time at the earliest if I am.

@Dave N Smith - Baby Burn, level 20 (maybe 21?) fire/fire tank. If you fill it without me, or start without me, won't hold it against you.

But if you feel you can't get there on your own, you are expecting the other person to do most of the work. If it was equally shared, then you would get there in the same amount of time as normal.
