    In summary business as usual.

    Duuddeeee that IC banter between the devs actually got a much better response than just a simple announcement! I cant wait for the next one!

    On a whim, I asked the clerk, "Hey do you know when Going Rogue for City of Heroes comes out?"...


    The guy said, "looks like late April early May, but that is subject to change"...

    My money is more on late may personally.

    [Im getting heart gold too!]

    I'm keeping myself in check for this one.
    Im still uber psyched for GR. Dont get me wrong on that. But Id rather NOT end up making a fool of myself with rageposts. Again. This way I can stay a bit more relaxed, and enjoy whatever we get, if we do.

    I'll keep this post for when you see what is going to go on the test server Remember, stay calm

    It HAS to be GR Beta! omgomgomg let me innnnn!!!

    So they've put aside a whole day before it goes live to test it? Test it internally too? Oh and the whole "decide tv or aeon" thing by monday?

    Think im going to enter this myself Got a few good ideas for a low level arc [favourite level range too!] so i'll give it a go! What have i got to lose eh!
  18. EU_Damz

    Hey everybody, im thinking about getting my hands wet again in the MA and was wondering what kind of themes people think arent used enough so far?

    During i14 beta and a few months after it went live i made myself plenty of arcs [unpublished] and a low level "introduction vr style course" mission that has been deemed average quality [by the stars/comments left behind] so far. I feel like i know how to do most tricks within the system and what kind of enemies would be a relatively good challenge at each level.

    However i am looking for tips on a theme for a story. I am unsure what one to go for at the moment. Spent some time playing the dev choice arcs today [currently on the one with the red caps and that girls toy] and while they did seem ok, i feel like i have played better in regard to action/suprises.

    So basically can anybody advise me on some really good arcs to try out for inspiration [ones with real suprise moments in] and themes they think they want to see more of.

    Thanks in advance for the replies if i get any

    I enjoy your posts, and when I'm scrolling through a thread, not reading it before I post a reply as is my style , if I see your name in there I back up a bit. There's a couple of regulars that I do for that when I see them actually. I bet everyone has their own list like that.

    I agree on this bit, i do think that some of your posts and guides are informative and helpfull for the new players/members to the forums, but i do think that your other posts of "egoness" [in my eyes anyway] negate it. So i dont know. Good and bad things about your posts i suppose in my view.

    I have never neg repped you but i will be honest in saying that my opinion of you isnt that high. Well certainly nowhere near as to what you feel like it should be.

    One minute your praising the reputation system, the next your saying you couldnt care less about it and now you've made yourself your very own thread for people to comment on your posts? No offence like but this is a waste of thread and to me personally, it looks like your just trying to satisfy your own ego.

    Yes we all got ego, i got a HUGE one and more often than not i do cross the line, but my own personal viewpoint is just well . . . how to put it into words [and honestly since you said you want honest and not to hold back] . . . . . . well i dont know how to put it into words. I'll use my example to explain myself.

    When the forums first joined together i commented on one of your posts in a light hearted humour manner saying you was "busted", then spent a few replies explaining it and that it was purely a joke of mine from the EU forums. Your response of "umm who are you?" made me personally feel like you thought you was above some people.

    Could be wrong, could be right. That was just my initial reaction to you and now this thread makes me think "wow he has such an ego to feed . . . . . ."

    Well you wanted the harsh honest truth

I like writing little comedy/sci-fi stuff, but I suspect being creative professionally is a bit like being really good in bed professionally, everyone thinks they can be, but only a few can bring the quality to make real money in it when it is time to deliver

    Let me get this right, everyone so far here admits that anybody can write a story but not everybody can do one that is of the highest quality correct?

    So in that regard, shouldnt it be easier than the others since not everybody can do the code needed for the other positions? Its all down to pure quality correct?

    I know that really good stories are hard to come across with, but on a timescale basis alone, isnt it classed as "easier" than say . . . . implementing the invention system? Or testing out all the powers? Or changing the colours of a powerset?

    That is what i mean by easier [though i kind of think im alone in this regard in thinking that [

    Also they have two other writers designated 'World Designer' and that's John Hegner and Paul Gunn. At HeroCon, John was on the panel describing Praetoria.

    And there's two others designated 'designer' but I'm not sure what they do... could be writing or powers or world...

    And Matt's writing and designing 'end game' content.

    See here for the list of known employees.

    Thank you

    My alternate goal is to get in as a Tech Writer - the person who writes Paragon Studios' policies, documentation, work procedures, etc - more of an IT/business practices than gaming thing, but I've got almost 15 years' experience doing that.

    See all this time i've followed your posts and work on this game [your trailers and such, which btw have always been of the highest standard], i never thought you was 100% serious when you mentioned joining them. Good luck on it if you do though.

    I still want to be a "weekend forum mod" though Wouldnt even charge, im active enough on these forums as it is

    [how DO you apply for forum mod btw? ]

    And no, it's NOT easy. How often do players go, "Oh CHRIST that arc was lousy! It's overpowered/underpowered/boring/too involved/all over the map/not enough dialogue/too much dialogue/etc etc etc"?

    Noooooo totally got me wrong Didnt mean easy as in wow that was easy, done in 30 minutes! I mean easy as in compared to the other sections. Surely all the overpowered/easy/too easy is down to the other devs tweaking the stats of the enemies in it?

    Content wise dev im purely talking about the story of the arc. Everything inside is down to other people and nothing to do with the story imo. Though i could be wrong

    Out of all the positions in this game, thats got to be the easiest one surely. Know its difficult to think of a good storyline, but compared to all that code and mission impossible hanging from the ceiling stuff the other devs do, it must be easy!
