Isnt this all a bit worthless really? The only thing people would want to see regarding numbers are the ones after GR launches wouldnt they?
Since that is the biggest release in the last 2/3 years. -
Quote:Only global names would need a change in case of a server list merge. Local names of servers would remain untouched. This would be amendable by global name change token and little hassle (or no) for the players affected.
A global name change, even if it is that name that people know us of, is a small price to pay to be united on one list. In my opinion.
If it where to happen, I would not be surprised to see that identical names would have the NA/EU tag like we had on the forums.
Im willing to change my globals
Goodbye @damz, hello @damz eu! OR @noob buster OR @damzv1 OR @welshydamz
People still know its me so its all good -
Quote:Well, is it possible to only show the name in person? On SG, team searches and all that it would still show Super Hero. But if you were to see that guy in a zone, his name would be different.
Well there's always disguises. I just thought if you're making one extra name why not make the rest.
RP POV it would be nice, for a MMO however i think it'ld be not so good [hows THAT for good wording haha].
Dont know about you lot, but if i've teamed/talked to somebody before and enjoyed my time with them, then when i next see that persons name i do start interacting with them.
Dont check the globals of ALL my teammatesAlso only use the rating system on rare times [people who have that special something about them if that makes sense].
Call me strange, but i like to recognise people just by looking at them or their characters name
Edit: Ooooo perfect example! Today i had a tell to join a katie tf. I wasnt in the mood for one and was about to say no but i recognised the name from a team i was in a couple of days ago and remembered he was a good laugh so that changed my mind to a yes! -
Quote:And happy NA playerbase too dont forget since they'll be getting a good 400 players a day [on average] extra to play withLoads of chat after WW.. TL;DR.
If you don't merge the server lists, no matter what new system you're planning, then the EU side won't last for much longer. Sure, GR will bring some old and new faces back but after a few months, the servers will be back to how they are now.
Save your selfs some money (Assuming less development time) and just merge the server lists. Do it with GR and positively promote the merge. It's a good thing, not bad.
Give out free transfers again for a fortnight or so and jobs a good 'un. You have a happy EU player base. Hopefully happy enough for another 5 years.
Could you imagine the look on the EU players faces when they log in to their servers and see . . . . players? -

Quote:Can't find the suggestion forum anymore so I figured I'd post here.
Why can't we get some sort of secondary name section for those of us that want to have a Secret ID?
I know from a comic (and RP) Perspective, Secret IDs are a big part of the superhero community.
Instantly double the number of taken names ingame? -
Kinetic melee is defo a set that i'll be playing on a scrapper

Right this is my third attempt at trying to create this thread and the third time of having to restart because the forums said "bad input" and then lost all my text!!!!
Quote:That was the response i had when i filled in a bug report about me not getting any vanguard merits during a mothership raid last night on union.Hello,
I have reviewed server logs from the time of your petition and could not find an error. Your character "Ultimate Damz" received several Vanguard Merits for defeating Rikti before this petition was filed. Please note that these merits will only be granted when your character defeats enemies in the Rikti enemy group.
I did not 100% get any vanguard merits during the second raid [the first one which i joined right at the end i did though, just not the second which i was part of fully] yet i am being told that i did? Even logging in today i saw that i havent got anymore than i originally did before the second raid.
Now i dont need any more vanguard merits as i already have all the costume pieces/costume change emote that i need on that character, but did i do the right thing in /bug it? Should i update my report somehow to tell them i did NOT get the merits [nor any influence]?
Has this happened to other people too? Im not annoyed because like i said, i've got what i wanted from the merits beforehand. However if i did need them then i would be peeved to be honest.
Leave it as it is?
Edit: In the report they sent me, they really should have said "oh and once you have become a member of vanguard can you earn merits [which btw i obviously am] -

Quote:On an ITF today which was mostly melee we thrashed him, even i used my phantom army/phantasm/spectral terror + the MMs robots. He still went down like a ton of bricks! [was actually the easiest rom fight i've ever done]
Most controllers aren't allowed to use their pets on Ghost Widow, or for that matter on the first three rounds with Romulus.
Im all for having different battles requiring different things. Ghost widow is one of those challenges which my scrapper loved! -
Quote:Kinda think they would get torn to pieces by the first reply
What would be really useful - and I don't know if this is possible - but an opportunity to connect directly with some of the Faceless Ones from behind the scenes via this forum who are responsible for marketing and infrastructure and the like, so that we can grill them face to face, so to speak. Would that be doable at all? -
Not a BAD name but made me laugh, was a character i saw once in atlas dressed up as a shark called "loan shark"
-
But why him?I've always thought that if your going to reselect your powers then surely it'ld be better to go to say a training zone type of place? Or even just a scientist to help you "forget" moves?
He just seems a bit . . . . random? -
That giant robot in the volcano! For the love of EVERYTHING release the thing as a GM event once in a while!

Jack Wolfe, just who is he supposed to be?

Quote:That would be a pretty big change - although one dev did mention ages and ages ago about a serverless environment being something they'd love to see.
I'ld love that to happen, but even if they could do it right now i can see why they'ld be hesitant to do so. NA servers would want to be combined in a similar way too i'ld say. -
Quote:Maybe a single shard solution where multiple servers handle all the zone instances?
No idea if such a thing would be possible, but it might solve some problems.
Peak times, all 4 EU servers combined would come to roughly 400 i'ld say on an average day? Numbers wise its easy to handle by a long shot, but all down to the technical issues i'ld say.
Could edit the search function to have "shards" in one of the options when searching for players [players keep their names but can only be invited by global name/right clicking the person invite/shard search function if they're on a different server].
As long as more global channels ARENT brought in i'ld be happy [like the official AE channel, cant remember last time someone used that!] as people on all the servers use player created channels for the majority of things now [sals/defiant events/union chat/union tf/vigilance chat etc]. -
For the people who like that kind of stuff, good for them.
For me personally? Nowhere near my taste, no offence to everybody on it but to me it seems a place where people can go and "be naughty" without adults watching them [if that makes sense].
Good luck to them though. -
Thanks for the reply WW even though you know its not what we wanted to hear, but at least we got an official reply [with reasons too].
Quote:Interested in what this will turn out to be.Last topic: servers. Yes, the EU servers feel underpopulated at times, and that makes it harder to group. Last year we merged the forums to bring the EU and US communities together. There are, however, no plans to merge the servers, but we are looking at designing an in-game system that will help solve the problem. One of my big personal goals is bringing people together, and this will help with that agenda. (How's that for vague? What can I tell you, it's "in development.")
Again, thanks for taking the time to give an official statement [but be prepared for a few "meh"'s].
Finally, did you tell them to advertise the EU version over here and not the NA one like they did last time? -
Thanks for the update fury
Demon summonin looks *squeeky voice* aceeeeee!

I (and the others in this thread) are obviously dead-keen to see what your inquiries with the powers that be uncover, so I'll keep watching this space.
