    I am escalating your ticket for further assistance, and someone will be in contact with you as soon as possible.
    Yeah... bout the same here. I figure they've got a lot of them that fell into limbo... Plus since it's the weekend, it'll probably be Monday before they continue on.

    I'm not worried.
  3. Hi Cashoo. Don't know if you're still doing those quick paintings of yours or not, as the thread is rather long.

    Just in case though, here's a capsheet of Dolphin.

    Personality

    Reserved to the point of being shy, yet still gets a giggle when he can get a room full of Nemesis fighting amongst themselves. His sense of humor is sneaky, and is rather jovial once he gets to know people. He is passionate about protecting marine life from environmental hazards perpetrated by negligent companies. This includes all forms of aquatic life and not just oceanic. Crey Industries really gets under his skin with their usual waste practices.

    I am a sad sack that Hero Con is always on the damned coast. Otherwise, I'd send you what you did for me. *bawls*

  9. Love your work. Awesome stuff!

    More traffic o.o

    As much as I'd like to see more life in the streets, as it stands now the cars can and will pass through each other on occasion. More cars and there'd be more of that.

    I think that there may have to be a new avoidance set of subroutines so they wont do that, plus the whole swerving for no reason would need to be changed. Then there's the lack of buses thing. I mean, they don't even stop at the stoplights because none of them work.

    To get the stoplights working, cars would need an AI to know that they need to stop in an orderly fashion at the line... then need to know it's okay to start again when it goes green... possibly go faster when it turns yellow...

    Also... haven't heard one car horn. You'd think that running in front of a moving vehicle would get you a honk or two as they try to swerve out of the way.

    I'm rambling...

But, after seeing the televids of the place, it just looks like a cleaner version of the Rogue Isles. I heard that Ghost Widow is alive, but Recluse is dead. You think he's a ghost there?"

    Oh my word. You're talking about Tom Baker, the quirkiest of the bunch.

  17. I agree with everything here. Especially Steampunky maps.

    Looking at the architecture from an actual "Architect" (not the mission architect) standpoint though, there's a lot of faux pas going on outside as well as inside. Buildings with no windows on one side? Large buildings over a tunnel that's directly below them? Augh! IMO, they should've gotten some advice from a professional architect on things when they originally designed Paragon City. (It twigs me every once in a while.)

    Labyrinth office spaces make zero sense from any standpoint. Game wise, maybe. But these zig zaggy round about ways to get to an elevator that goes up one single floor? Shoot the dude that thought that idea up.

    Most office buildings are somewhat symmetrical instead of these wild mazes with a lot of dead space in them. It'd make more sense if you had to find an objective on each floor, or have to search each floor for the objective, which is randomly placed... be it rescue/kidnap, disarming/planting bombs, or the end boss.
    ___________ ___________ ___________

    Some other ideas rattling in my noggin:

    Maybe add actual apartment buildings, where you have to search for the right apartment?

    Come up to a bad guy holding a gun to the hostage's head, while the mob is using them as a shield? Not that the game physics would support a body shield, but it'd be cool to come across. "Move and I'll shoot her!" *zap*

    Some one shot newspaper/radio missions that are similar to the one room warehouse, where your stop the robbery that's taking place or rob the place blind. Of course, the XP for that would be a lot lower, but still.

    Actual lobbies for these businesses. Where's the guard and/or receptionist at the door?

    Villain Side, there are a few buildings that are like a TARDIS... Wayyy bigger on the inside. I know that the random generated locations for missions precludes customizing things as is, but at least make those doors off limits or something. That's just weird man.

    About the only maps that make sense are the caves, even though I hate them. Especially that last huge cavern where you have to arrest/slaughter every single thing in there to finish the mission. Muy annoyink.

    Oh, I still get bank missions that have the door being in the side of a mountain sometimes. That's insanely funny. LOL
  18. My two cents...

    Vet Rewards and Costume Unlocks
    Costume pieces that are only available to various NPC factions, released per vet reward milestone. Hellions / Skulls at three, Circle of Thorns / Outcasts at six, and etcetera up the level range of mobs.

    Instead of the Full Monty with the costumes that you get for Trick or Treating, have them be included in the actual costume lists: Skulls Jacket with the skull and crossbones on the back, Outcast emblems, Legacy Chain custom pieces, Longbow Emblem, etcetera and so forth.
  19. I've crashed quite a bit today since the patch.

    Hallo. I think what was meant, that there be more content in the version of lots of maps as opposed to endless stories.

    And I agree. If the gameplay of missions isn't improved upon, the initial graphics ooh and ahh moment will fade, leaving the same arguments over maps.

    Translation: The old maps are predictable and boring, and that's not talking about the tilesets. The maps that are available have been played so often, that people can predict where things will be from only looking at one or two things from the beginning.

  22. So, what happens when Zombies hit the Apocalypse at the same time in the same zone?

    MAYHEM!!!!
  23. What is this autumn you keep babbling on about?

    We got two seasons... Spring and [censored] Hell. :P
