U hatez US! I feel so HATEDEDEDEDEDEDEDED!!

On the bright side, at least you only sold the salvage, and not the recipes.

Logging in to show my face for the Sunday team, but I might go to bed instead of playing...

Hmmmm, I'm tired. I got home at about 1pm after an all nighter in Brighton including failing the ITF with a slightly unbalanced, no strike that, much too unbalanced team.
Sorry, Aero .
Gangrel got to the station in Brum, and I've been asleep since. I'm now grabbing a bite to eat before heading back to bed.
I'm too old for this sh......stuff .
I'm glad I went to the meetup, it's such a shame to see these great people all leaving, but it was a good send off .

Bye, see you Saturday.

I'm a bit disappointed that you can't have the Cyborg leg covering (which is awesome) with the Monstrous Robotic feet. I had it all planned, and it wouldn't let me!

I found with a joystick it needed to be:
/bind joystick up "+forward$$powexecname Hasten"

etc, etc

This way, I can have Hasten and AM on my Rad/Rad recharge-a-roony on "Autofire" and something else on REAL Autofire!

Recharging can be silenced by making a 1 second silence file in .ogg format, renaming it Recharge.ogg, and placing it in a folder nest in City of Heroes called \data\sound\ogg\FrontEnd

Apparently, this can be done to silence any in game sound, depending on the folder and name, and does not break the EULA. There is a thread in the US Guides with info:

http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showf...=0#Post3796307

With the loss of the community team and the Omega Sektorian (slight exaggeration, I know, GR) it ain't looking good.
Sad to see you go, nice Mr Green-name, you made last Easter very special.

Sadly, I'm needed by my sister in law to move some furniture, so I may be late or absent.

What would be the point in advertising in Greece? there is no greek localisation, no greek GMs, Greece has a tiny population anyway. Face it, you aint worth thier while.

PRAF, is this thread the place for this stuff?

Cant join this sunday/monday either sorry. I would appreciate it if someone could post an average level i can work towards. Once again sorry.

This isn't work, you are allowed to miss without punishment .
We'll miss you, but we won't fire you!

Rockjaw, Aero, Bridger and Kerensky.
Ouch .
NCSoft could have really shot themselves in the foot if Champs Online is hiring Community Staff for Europe.

The Easter event last year was a fantastic piece of work. The vids to build up to the Leipzig event were brilliant.
The community that has been created by these boards has been and often still is, wonderful.
SingStar, my response to your poisonous little postings was a PM to you, as it wasn't fit for public broadcast.
Notify Moderators as you wish, you poisonous little troll.

Right, it was deaded, memory, processor etc. Easier to get a new computer, so I now have Vista .

But I'm baaaaaack!

Hmm, it's very dead. I hope I get time to fix it tomorrow after work. I'm not sure I can cope with a week without a computer and CoH.

I just got home to find my comp dead. The processor is burnt out, so I'll be late if I make it at all. Shame .

The only problem with this team is that it's too much fun to end so soon .

<Edit by GR: removed text>

Ill be honest the only reason my account is still active is x4 and the vain hope that there mite be some other fun stuff in i13, but as they havent announced anything, it means none of its ready. And if its not ready, it may well not be ready in time.

I enjoy massive parts of this game, but I hate repeatative missions. The mission creator feels like one massive repeatative mission.

[/ QUOTE ]

There's more to be announced yet, some of which I think you might find appealing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sadly, this depresses me. From what I can gather, if it does appeal to him, I'll really, really hate it .

Mandu, was, I'm guessing, at PAX with Hero 1 and talked face to face or heard the presentation live, before the online chat started:

[ QUOTE ]

Amount of missions: The amount of missions you can create is unlimited. The amount of missions you can submit is limited to 5 or 6. The exact number isn't locked down as of yet but it's somewhere in that range.

Missions Types: You can create a stand alone mission or an arc. They can be defeat all, defeat boss, get glowie, rescue hostage, etc... basically all the mission types we currently have.

Maps: So far just the standard maps and you can choose them in different sizes. For example office map small, medium, or large. You don't get to choose the layout, at least not yet. And yes you can choose the layer cake cave. But if you do I'll have to track you down and beat you senseless with a layer cake. Maybe even a layer fruitcake.

NPCs: You can have multiple factions in the missions and they can be set to different aggro settings. I can't remember what the three names are but basically On your side (like Fusionette), Standard, or Hostile to everything (ie like the missions where you can run into different factions fighting each other).

Bosses: You will be able to set the bosses animation and cutscene dialogue plus if you care to the things that they say at 50%, 25% and on defeat. You can also choose their behavior like fleeing when all minions are defeated or when at 50% etc...

Placement: When placing bosses/glowies/etc... you don't get to choose their exact location. You can only choose front/middle/back as to what part of the map they spawn in.

AVs: Yes but not to begin with. The AVs come as special bonus items as do certain villain/hero factions.

XP: Missions do not give out full xp/inf/drops. Unless they meet a certain condition that will be mentioned later.

Voting: There is a voting system in place. Players can rate missions from 1-5 stars. Those with the highest ratings will not necessarily get the extra bonuses but will be ranked at the top of the search list when you are looking for a quick mission. In addition missions can also be tagged by players for having inappropriate content. The rankings are given out per account, not per character so you can't significantly alter the score just by logging into different characters. In addition people who grief missions by reporting them for offensive content or 1 starring good missions will wind up with some sort of penalty. I have no idea what it might be.

Dev's Choice: Dev's choice missions are the ones I mentioned as getting special treatment. These missions are ones that the developers themselves happen to think are cool. These missions will give out full xp/inf/drops. In addition getting a mission chosen as a dev's choice is what unlocks the special factions and AVs.

Play testing: You will be able to run your characters through your missions on your own computer before uploading them. What looks great on paper doesn't necessarily equate to fun when actualized. Being able to run through the missions before submission will allow you to see it's strong and weak points.

Currently supergroup only missions are not doable. The devs did however have a "Doh!" moment when they saw the idea mentioned on the forums. As a result there will likely be such missions available somewhere down the road.

And yes, they are looking into the possibility of allowing you to create your own AV and even include a version of one of your own characters in the mission. If this does happen however it will be a way down the road. Don't expect it in the next couple of issues.

I think that's everything that was mentioned.

...and now, bed .

AR/Dev, 10

All fun, in their own ways...

I have an inactive US account, I have all my characters and time playing on the EU side.
I got the US account for 1 month and transferred a toon over to get the Passport badge. I don't even collect badges much, but it was a now or never event, so I chose now .

No, no, no. Returning to the original (slightly good) news is madness, I tell you, SHEER MADNESS! We need more doooooom, bitterness, backbiting, bitchiness and bull excrement. It's the only way forward!
