An arctic jazz lounge, perhaps?

Mmm, arctic breakbeat jazz. Grrrrrrrrrrreat.

Mind you, one-upmanship is a dish best served cold.

It is very cooooollld... in spaaaaaaace...

Look, no-one is to stone ANYONE until I blow this whistle.

Even - and let me make this QUITE clear - even if they do mention farming.

*faceplants under hail of rocks*

A large, purple and vegetably birthday to you!

*sings* Oi gawt a bran' new FireKin Troller, an' oi'll give yew the key...

I've tried a little of everything, but my Blapper toon (Armoured Blaster that behaves in a Scrapperish fashion, and frequently pays for it - Elec/Energy/Weapon/Faceplanting) is still awesome fun.

Is this a cheese thread?

OK... here we goes:

1. "Open World" servers
Blatantly stolen from WAR, but definitely one of the better ideas in that game....<ul type="square"> [*]Specific servers only.[*]Heroes and Villains can travel to ANY zone, and underground Safe Houses have basic stores available.[*]A siren is sounded when an "enemy" player arrives in zone.[*]The Bounty system from Siren's is installed in all zones.[*]Being hospitalised in an enemy zone results in jail.[*]Attacking a "home zone" player significantly lower than your own level results in jail drones and/or massively overpowered AVs being released on the map. Repeated violations earn a temp game ban and/or permanent debuff.[/list]
2. Shades Of Grey <ul type="square">[*] Alternatively to the above: Heroes and Villains start as normal, but have a "Light Side / Dark Side" meter. [*] This does not measure exactly how "good" or "evil" you are, but what the public thinks of you.[*] So, many public rescues by UltraShinyMan may hide the darkness inside - whereas a hero who gets on the wrong side of a well-funded, PR-handy org like Crey may find themselves in deep trouble.[*] Contacts only unlock to you at certain levels of reputation. Westin Phipps, for example, only works with the lowest of the low, but at that level even Vanguard might think twice about you.[*] Failing missions has a serious impact on your public's opinion of you.[*] This may also have side effects on teams - for example, a Villain entering a police mission on a team may suddenly get jumped by a bunch of PPD, and the rest of the team can't assist or risk a rep penalty.[/list]3. Vehicles (with fins).<ul type="square">[*] Yes, we have all kinds of handy dandy travel powers, but summonable vehicles add a whole other dimension to the game.[*] Vehicle Licences are awarded by completing a special Task Force mission from the City Representative at Level 40. You must also have achieved a certain quota of content badges. [*] Each vehicle component requires a recipe.[*] Components: Frame, Engine, Armour, Weapon.[*] A driver can only use their vehicle's weapon while in motion.[*] Larger Frames can carry multiple heroes, who cede nav control to the driving player, but can use other powers.[*] If a vehicle is destroyed, it can be resummoned as normal (hey, good workshops!) However, all toons inside will suffer an Extreme explosion and should remember to bail when things get too hot.[*] A vehicle's colours and styles are reasonably customisable - the basic Frame doesn't change, but details like wing parts, decals, and fins (especially the fins!) can be changed. [*]Hero and Villain vehicles would have different visual styling (shiny fins for Heroes, Spikes Of Evil for villains, skulls for everybody.)[/list]

They're talking about removing access from an avatar, not deleting it - which sounds like they may lock the avatar for a period of time - like the number of weeks it would take to get to 50 the normal way.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or locking it out from all access including deletion: which could mean you effectively lose both the toon and the slot.

Just to be cheerful

If you think this thread is bad you should read the one the US: it was impossible to finish if you actually tried to read the whole thing as the vitriol and scorn just kept piling up on new pages at the end.

Berzerker nerdrage, mayhap?

I think we need to sit tight and find out exactly how many Doom Kittens™ are unleashed into the system, against whom, and why, before we do/say anything rash.

There is going to be a bit of Hammer Of Justice action, but we need to see whether it's used sparingly on the "worst" farmers or full on Gotterdammerung Sturm-und-Drang stuff on everyone who may have sinned in thought, word, or deed. Laying down the law is fine and occasionally necessary: how you apply it is what marks out good mods.

Good luck : you're gonna need it, kid. Hope you're not pitching to ITV or FOX ... ( beatenkilledpinkpowder )

Pepshee all round

We &lt;3 our mumsie

Already did Canadian Maid, but I'd love to have a Canuck cape (and at least two of my friends would call dibs on Captain Kiwi)

wow who said you had to play the MA? i find it funny that your all saying MA killing the game but if you really look at your answers to slove it your kind of asking to kill the game yourself as your stop people play the way they want to play

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think it's killing the game, exactly. Hence no sub cancellation. Just needs a few tweaks now that it's in game, same as any other game mechanic.

Nerf it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

In terms of "game balance", kids, MA really is a Monty Haul job - I like the idea of the Skeeball tickets and having a Danger Room, but the XP and cash that can be achieved is a little overmuch. I took a broke 50 Ranger Emily into a farm team and achieved 25 million inf in one hour's play. And people wonder why common salvage is going through the roof?

Still, if you wanna do that and miss out on the rest of the game, your lookout: though I wonder if the MA buildings could be "soundproofed" to prevent broadcast chatter going outside? That way, everybody gets to do what they want to do without bothering each other too much.

Dawww, that adorable! *Tries to train his month old niece to play*

I hear Sonic blasters are favourite.

And dammit, I want a "Clicky Clacks" badge now. *sucks thumb*

We &lt;3 War_Witch!
And we need more Canadian superheroes in game please. Vicki, Fitzroy, Celluci and Gretzky should do it...

Hello to the group: my name is DreamWeaver, and I'm a CoHoholic.

I'm a 48 month veteran, and deal with both Deviants and Onion-heads with equal pleasure. I'm still happily playing the game, still making new friends, still being an agony auntie and still mad that Posi isn't doing vehicles. :P

I understand the reasons some of the people have for leaving at the moment and share one or two of the concerns: but I still think they're fixable and not game-breaking. (I lived through the NGE... THAT, my friends, was a real horror show.)

Still here. Still defending Truth, Justice, and the right to be exactly who I want to be. And my Icon fireproofed loyalty card.

War_Witch is back now and... and...

...spoke to me...

Oh, and the Ski Chalet is open

yodddelleeeeyyhheeehooo...

This is about a quarter of the heroes who were on Defiant Atlas Park at the time. The rest were watching intently... and sure enough, 5 seconds after this was taken, GhostFalcon dropped a Kronos on us

I kept trying to take pics of all the people on Atlas steps, but a certain naughty GM kept dropping Giant Monsters on us just as we were about to take the shot...

Thanks to NCSoft_GhostFalcon for some wonderful madness there

Garrggh... madness... 4 Kronos dancing on top of Atlas Statue...

Happy birthday Paragon! We love you we do.

Just waiting till 11am now - when it's time to cry havoc, and unleash the devs of war...

Glorious sticky cakeday to you.

Definite weirdness going on - plus MA server seemed to fail out entirely this evening a couple of times. Feed hamster plz.
