/unsigned. I quite like having it close by with easy access for whatever new character I create. Since I've taken to leveling new characters mostly on MA, it's quite convenient.

I'd rather not have to wander around more than I have to in the pre-travel power levels.

God forbid new players learn to use the train and discover that there are more zones than just Atlas Park.

Since I14 I've been running across more and more players with high level characters that didn't know they could leave Atlas.

[/ QUOTE ]


the only real reason I bring up the Atlas Park issue is because its the highest populated starting zone. I have had characters start in Galaxy before and its very hard to find other players to team with because so few use it. Also after the initial contacts I am usualy redirected to the hallows or another zone any way. as far as not having a travel power, you can easily get temp travel powers as early as lvl 5 in KR.

First I would like to point out that in test there originally was an AE building in Croatoa because it didnt fit the zone esthetically. With this in mind I would like to start a petition for removing the Architect Entertainment building from Atlas Park for the fallowing reasons:

1. Atlas Park is the most popular place for new characters to start their career. As such it is automatically a highly populated zone and is prone to lag for this very reason.

2. During double XP weekends there is almost always two or more Atlas Parks. on a normal basis there is only two. Since the addition of the AE building the two instances of Atlas Parks is a constant. What will happen when we get another double XP weekend with two instances of Atlas Parks already? Many people do not have a computer set up to handle the kind of lag due to graphics and population as the next person.

3. The placement of the AE building in Atlas Park makes farming allot easier and in unintentional design it encourages it. Level one characters now are able to start getting power leveled immediately instead of having to take the trek to Paragon Island. Through my personal play experience it seems like Paragon Island has dropped in popularity dramatically and Atlas park farming related Broadcasts has overridden the new character chatter.

4. There is an AE building in Galaxy City already and its not being used because the zone is usually a ghost town in the popularity department. If the AE in Atlas Park is removed see if there are enough people out there who feel the way I dothe ability for level one characters to go all the way to level 50 using just the AE system is still doable. If the farming community goes to galaxy City instead of Atlas Park all the more power to them.


This is not ment to start heated discussions. It is only to see if enough people agree with me and show the Devs that Atlas Park is being harmed by the existence of the AE building. Thank you.

I... have changed my text input box to something like 600x400 pixels instead of the standard tiny one.

[/ QUOTE ]


yeah tried that and got a big at "invalid text area" error.

any way to make the forums list more threads per page? its so annoying to have to go through so many pages when it seems like there should be a way to change the number of threads per page.

"What's protocol for getting dev attention?"

1 act like an [censored] and get the forumites all stirred up.

2 call the devs bad names.

3 do some hard core griefing in game and get petitioned several times.

4 mail a fake bomb to Paragon Studios with a list of your demands (concerns you have)

or you could just send them a PM or submit a bug report in game. your choice.

got tired of trying to get it working and just reset it back to factory settings. thanks for the help though

blue sreen dissapears too fast. the blue screen pops up and comp restarts in less than 2 seconds. there doesnt seem to be any real connection to any software. the only recient thing I have installed is a web cam driver but I restored the comp to before that.

I have a comp problem that microsft cant fix yet (big surprise eh?) i get blue screens and issues with repeating restarts back to back and when ever I do a restore to last known good configuration I end up getting this error:

(sorry, cant figure out how to make the image just appear here with out the code)

thoughts?

Wait till i16 when we get Demon Summoning and Dual Pistols.

[/ QUOTE ]

you may be partially (if not fully) right since the announcement said "Maelstrom, a pistol-wielding hero gone rogue" but it didnt say dual wield or "pistols" indicating plural. but I suspect that it is talking about dual wield. we may not actually get the new power set in that expansion since they are powers a signature NPC has but its also a strong possibility that they will offer a new arc to complete that unlocks these two long saught after sets since the devs have talked about unlocking new sets in a similar fashion in the past.

that is true. I am hopping they will hurry and get to the "base like placement feature (thats rumored?) but its frustrating when you have an idea for a cool arc but no supporting map

I wanted to use he snow Croatoa map and then realized I couldnt find it. is there a reason they are not accessible? I have already unlocked everything there is to unlock in MA using tickets. will these ever be available to use or is there a reason why not?

My old mobo is a P5N32 SLI premium. it crapped out so I'm in the market for a new one.

I have 3 8800 GTXs but only running 2 on my dead mobo atm.

A friend of mine sent me a list of a few mobo that would work with my system but I cant decide which one to get...

I am leaning towards the EVGA board since I have 3 8800 GTXs

any help on deciding would be great.

also I am thinking about adding a video capture card because I want to eventually use this to send movies from my HDD to my TV. currently the best hook up I have is colorstream and S-video but I want to be able to have an HDMI out for when I get a hi def TV later so any suggestions on brands or what ever would be appreciated too

[/ QUOTE ]I'm definitely hoping for Architect access from within an SG base, but somehow, I think I'm wishing in vain....

[/ QUOTE ]

you never know, the fire and ice crystals gave access to flash back missions in the SG base with out having to go to Oroboros, I hope they do something similar with MA as well.

[ QUOTE ]


Well, i'm told there was a similar misison last year, but i missed it, but there is another addition that the dev's dont seem to be telling us about.

There is a new contact in Atlas (behind Ms. Liberty) and one in Mercy (near the fateweaver) to steal/rescue the anniversary gifts for Manticore/Psyche.

No badge or temp power rewards, one time mission. No request to see them when you're the right level (any level i think), not mentioned in the event notes...

[/ QUOTE ]

these are left over from the valentines event last year from the wedding event. thats probably why the devs didn't mention it. the missions only make sense during the wedding event from last year.

sigh, nothing new for the event this year, already have all the badges and costume pieces from about 3 -4 years ago. I was hoping for something new, even something as gimmicky as a temp power that shoots cupid arrows or something. this event has been pretty much unchanged since its first year on live so us old timers can get dispelled from it pretty quick.

"Players will no longer get credit towards the crafting badges by combining base salvage into brainstorming ideas."

ok seriously what is the point of this? converting is crafting no matter what your converting so why make that last badge that much harder to obtain??

now if only they wold take the coolness of this vet reward and replace the 45 month vet reward with something a little more happy medium and a less lame than another respec

I dont know if this was discussed previously as I didnt have any way to test this before but can we get the Mission transporter power reduced from its current 2 hours to a respectable 30 min like the team teleport vet power? this would make this power so much more useful and heighten the desire to get the booster pack. I have found in the past that even if the costumes werent worth the $10 to many people I know the cool power was.

Thanks but how about giving us the gift of letting us keep our 2 hours of playtime. I really don't need another respec and I SURELY don't need another tailor token.

Thanks for the thought though.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll second the motion... respecs are easy to get. How about giving me the time I paid for back.

[/ QUOTE ]

You know what, I'll refund your four cents worth of time.

[/ QUOTE ]

This made my morning.

[/ QUOTE ]

I just did the math and its 2 cents an hour that we pay to play ($15 / 30 days / 24 hours = .020833333333333333333333)

now if you were compensated for those 2 hours (that we lose every week or so due to maintenance any way) and while were at it lets compensate you for the 8 hours of sleep you need and since you cant play the game while your at school or work like 90% of the population earth we'll give you a refund on that too. so how much does this cost the company to be nice to you? our insanity. multiply that by all the subscribers in the game (we have to be fair now) and you have world filed with stupid people. so you see they have to be a little sane to be nice to us Merry Christmas Mr Grintch

any chance us non Mac users can buy the Valkarie booster pack before the mac ver is released live since its getting pushed back?

well at least its good to know that its supposed to be and I didnt spend my candy canes for nothing, thanks
