I'ld be up for this, be funny just to see all the warshades rush to each mob to get their double mire before the mobs destroyed.

So, what level we going to have the tfs at btw?

Just a quick question i was wondering about, does time bomb and trip mine break stealth?
Meaning would it be possible to stealth into a mob (either through cloaking device or stealth pool power), drop a time bomb, go and hide then watch the fireworks?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yup your correct It doesnt break stealth. I remember seeing a video of someone doing this on youtube against crey in brickstown.

To add to mine.

Ultimate Damz - lvl 50 ill/rad
Super Damz - lvl 36 ill/kin
*cant remember name* - lvl 14 ice/storm
Cruise - lvl 10 earth/emp

Possibly an Advanced editing mode then where you can only determine the enemy of its selected class?
The mob size is already pre set as you said but would it be that hard to be able to individually choose each enemy on different difficulty/team size?

Heroic solo = a minion and a lieut (iirc), so be able to determine what the minion is (with a list of minion enemy classes) and what the lieut is (same as before).
Obviously doing this would take up a lot of time/effort but would help a great deal in creating a certain feel in your missions. If you chose not to go into the advanced settings then the mob types would be random generated?

Edit: Didnt they say somewhere that we could place the mobs whereever we want? Was it individual enemy placement or just spawn placement?

Especially as the 'Cartel' have areputation in my mind for generally 'belittling' those less experienced than them, I apolgise for those that genuinaly don't do this but the two notable exceptions I can think of both happen to be female funnily enough

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, as soon as I hit 10k posts, I started getting people belittling me, Alphane. They would tell me I had no life, and accuse me of joining up with all the other high posting characters to put down the 'lesser' posters. Baring in mind that I was the second poster to get Forum Cartel, that says a lot about the people making the claims. Actually, I have my own opinions and I'm as likely to agree with something you've said as I am of agreeing with something (for example) Standoff has said.

Point is, as soon as you start posting a lot, you get people such as yourself putting you down because of it. I (used to) post a lot. Get over it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Dont know why and i cant seem to shake it off but iv always presumed high posters to be almost experts of the game. I know in some cases this aint true but im one of those shallow people where if i asked a question and two people answered it - one being say over 5k posts and another being his first - then i would automatically assume the one with over 5k posts would be correct regardless of the information.
Stupid i know, but hard to shake off.

Never!

Just suggesting ways the mission creator and zone maps could be used

[/ QUOTE ]

If you wanted to be REALLY evil you could just put the lot of them in the sewer maps and place them all in the sewer water, literally cant see them that way.

Part of me wishes that you can select which class of the enemy you place down and another part of me doesnt.
Can see some missions being stupidly hard (all sappers, all ghost boss's, all tsoo scorererererersers etc), but then again i suppose that would be a nice challenge now and then.

Lord Recluse doesn't drink tea Damz. He drinks coffee - a villain's drink.

[/ QUOTE ]

Decaff?
(off topic but sshhh, just created a MM and wondering if you wanna log onto villains and set a team up? mines lvl 3 at mo!! High lvl baby! )

[ QUOTE ]
I'm really hoping that we can set the waiting emotes on the characters in our missions, so they can be looking at laptops or drinking coffee or something more interesting than listening/dancing to music/throwing fire.

[/ QUOTE ]

i would ASSUME that this is possible from launch since on rescue hostage/ally missions there are already a number of animations.

*On their knees (eg silos final tf)
*The hostage pretend fighting the enemy
*Hostage cowering

Just those 3 as an example, so only makes sense to have some form of dropdown box for each different scenario for the different situations. Cant see all emotions being available though as was said. But would be funny to see Nemesis and Recluse doing /e tea together then when you approach them they get ready to fight . . . . . .

Nemesis: So recluse you ole chappy, how the devil are you?
Recluse: Oh im just spiffing me old chum, how about yo . . . . . . oh no its damz ummmm quick hide the tea!
Nemesis: Ha!! Got you Recluse! I brought Damz here to catch you drinking tea to spoil your rep! It was all a nemesis plot!
Damz: . . . . . .

oh oh when it goes live can we have a new forum section for player created missions
Would make sense to have an official place to post ideas and feedback certain missions.

WooHoo!!!! Cheers GR!!!!

How often, if ever, have you seen anybody on these boards slag ANYONE off for slacking?

[/ QUOTE ]If I had a cent for every time someone has posted "stop posting on the forums and play the game instead"...

[/ QUOTE ]

lol sorry meant to write it as "to someone part of the company" (usually during meet ups/events etc)

I've seen Red-names drop in for a forum chat stateside and talk/comment on the most obscure/innane topics

[/ QUOTE ]

Which if they tried to do here they would get slagged off for time wasting.

If we ever do say something like it then its usually along the lines of

"oi get back to work "

To me and a lot of people that would be a friendly response in a lighthearted way which would have no intent of creating tension.

Iv done it with my illusion/rad with the only problem being against the final AV (wont say incase of spoilers obv).

Without inspirations/temps? I would have to say a regen has next to no chance in the final battle unless your toon is insanely enhanced. With insps/temps then it is very easy doable

Cant speak for melee strategies since i did mine mostly at range and using areas to hide to block his attacks, but my guess would be to pop as many insps as possible and go to town on it before you run out of insps, his burst damage is just too high to be constantly beat upon.

Well it is almost at the point where IF they end up posting this side of the swimming pool again that they would have a LOT of explaining to do.

A lot of the NCNC dev interaction on the forums is done during break times and before/after work hours, and as such a personal choice. If I was an NCNC dev, and I thought I had reason to believe I'd be met with hostility, I wouldn't visit here either. I'd suggest that in at least two cases (BAB and Jay) that's a reasonable belief to hold, and that's going to flow through to the rest of the dev team. It's that simple.

As the video is now shelved, we're going to go through it and pull out some of the nuggets of information we received that we can share with you. It'll take a couple of days.

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah sorry for WAY overreacting there GR *goes into the naughty corner*
But i hope you can appreciate our concerns that all we - the players - want is to feel like we have more interaction with them.

I read the US boards almost as much as these but i do have to say we seem to have the more friendlier board community out of the two (might just be i dont get their sense of humour and vice versa obv). Hope none of them feel like they cant post here for fear of egging but we want a hello dammit! (inserted a smiley to keep it friendly*ish* )

Certainly hope they dont do a name checker, would mean i wouldnt be able to rescue some of my characters who are at their day jobs.

Regarding 1000+ maps, i wonder if you'll be able to select a part of a zone for outdoor missions. I want this now!!!!

I wonder high how the insult meter would go if a redname would post anywhere on the forum assuring us that we have not been forgotten.

We havent created too much of a fuss yet but looks like a war is about to happen

Round 1: EU v the The Devs! , whos going to win!

I dont want to loose the "super powered" title

Forum cartel (a few years away for me yet) doesnt fit the superhero theme

So was our questions/thoughts put across at all or did we waste our time believing we would get some form of interaction with the devs?
Last/ONLY time i remember having some sort of communication with them was when BaBs popped over end of last year during the takeover. While we all appreciate their hard work and time constraints, next to no communication with a large percentage of their paying customers (we are not a small % ok) is nowhere near good enough.

Its the only complaint most of us have reguarding them.

Couple of nights ago on union in atlas there was a competition night in which from 8pm until midnight there was non stop competitions (some held by me) with a ton of interest from a wide variety of players. First time in a long while that iv seen players have good clean fun and just want some help deciding what other kinds of competitions can be made.

So the point of this thread is:
What competitions in atlas would make you participate/what would you like to see more of?

At the moment i can only think of the usual cossie contests, rock paper scissors tournie, atlas hide and seek, a version of who wants to be an influenceaire and well thats it.

Note: Before people mention it, i know what happened last time i tried to organise an event so wouldnt organise something until the ACTUALY day to avoid lateness

How much more fun would the game be if all the bugs were fixed like the new one that crashes the game if you have an invite of any kind up on the screen while loading or the lag on "lag hill" on the 3rd ITF mission or even the small but annoying wrong mission door bug i petitoned in villain beta that's still around. There's many more but there the 3 i have most dealings with....

[/ QUOTE ]

Re: the invite crash - that's a relatively new bug, as far as I'm aware, which the team are aware of and will fix as soon as they have a working fix.

Re: "lag hill" - may I ask when was the last time you played the ITF, as there have been some tweaks made to the ITF specifically to address lag issues reported with that mission. If it's still lagging in the current builds, then posting a detailed report of where (and under what conditions / how often) that lag occurs would be useful.

[/ QUOTE ]

Both of those bugs stopped me from playing my main (only toon that was affected ) but since the last patch they both dissapeared for me and allowed me to play my fav toon again ^_^
So you guys made at least ONE player happy

Heres hoping we can write a small arc summary for people using the search.

For example:

"Hydra have been spotted in atlas park wrecking havoc, who or what are they looking for?"

Just a little insight into what the arc will contain without giving the story away obviously. Will help filter out certain enemy mobs that the player personally doesnt want to face.
