That thing you're supposed to get at the end of a MA Mission, the thing that you're supposed to get that is a thing that, when you look at it, it reminds you of the mission you just did? I seem to be getting it at the beginning of a MArc, not at the end! Why is that? Is it a bug, or is it working as intended? Thanks for any help you can give me on this.

You mean... premature esouveniration?

not to keep this going but i use steam for left 4 dead..but whats the purpose of it here?


is it optional or you making it needed to run ?


whats the actual purpose and motivation for using steam here?

[/ QUOTE ]

Goddamnit.

You. Don't. Have. To. [censored]. Use. Steam. To. Run. CoX.

And the reason they're doing it is because Steam is great publicity.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good.

What the [censored] is 'Steam'?

With the Dev created content having become stale for us, and rarely updated with any consistency in Issues, the Dev created storylines just don't keep us here anymore, right now. We've seen them. Ad nauseum.

[/ QUOTE ]

With the success of MA, will the devs still have the same (or any) incentive to create new story content? Will future issues instead support MA (the game within a game), with everything else being put on the proverbial back burner?

Aside: if your characters spend all their time playing MArcs, does that mean they've withdrawn from their 'reality' into a world of fantasy and daydream?

And now I just checked my account and they're charging me 5 times again. I guess I need to contact support - oh wait, they're currently closed for maintenance.

[/ QUOTE ]

I got an e-mail from NCsoft account support early Thursday morning saying my ticket was being 'escalated' for 'further assistance', but nothing since then. Anybody else still waiting?

Edit: got another e-mail - they're taking care of it. Yay!

I've got one for levels 1-10 - but I unpublished it to make some structural changes.

Plus it got 1-starred w/no feedback.

And what is up with the size 12 feet with the witch boots?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, there's something off about a lot of the newer boots - including but not limited to the ones in this latest pack. The shapes of the ankles and feet are, I dunno, out of whack somehow.

I love the tops of the Baron boots, but I'll never use them on any of my characters because they make the ankles and feet look, to my eyes, deformed.

I got charged for FOUR magic packs. I only have one account, so I can only use one serial code, so... uh... contacting support.

The Mission Architect chat shows you everytime you are rated. You can determine 5, 4, and 3 rates from the number of tickets you get. Everything else is 'unknown' because they don't award tickets.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, okay. 25 tickets = 5 stars, 20 = 4, 15 = 3. Thanks!

Shucks, I haven't been keeping track.

Looking through the console, it had received:

35 Fives
8 Fours
4 Threes
8 'unknown'

[/ QUOTE ]

How does one go about 'looking through the console' to see this information?

Got a plague for 5th anniversary? Check.

[/ QUOTE ]

And the plague shall be called, 'The Death of the Red Mask', named so for the unfortunate red mask-wearing tanker who first came in contact with the cause of the plague: pseudo-vampiric inner space cooties from outer space, which spread to other tankers during the 5th Anniversary of Tanker Tuesday, and from thence to all the other heroes throughout Paragon City, and the world. Alas! A nightmare for heroes - a dream come true for purse-snatchers.

[ QUOTE ]
Shoot, I was on Champion (level 7-10 Scrappers) in KR, and I STILL didn't see a bunch of tanks holding an event.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actual photographic evidence of the legendary Loch Ness Tankers - or another hoax?

The game designers who wrote the back-story and created the lore for our game world added Atlas, and scattered a few plaques around the world for us to find, telling us parts of his story. Everybody's "instance" of CoX includes Atlas.

[/ QUOTE ]

So, the game designers who write the back-story and create the lore for our game world could add a reference to some potentially world-shattering event that only the 'toughest of heroes' banding together could prevent, and it just so happened that this group of tough guys chose the wall in Kings Row near the IP Exit as their meeting place, where they had a few beers/sodas/cans of 30-weight motor oil or whatever, and then went on to prevent the potentially disastrous event. Everybody's "instance" of CoX could include it.

Am I the only one that didn't like the video? I actually found it difficult to watch all the way through.

Someone has to swim against the stream I suppose...

[/ QUOTE ]
I also thought the video was terrible but I realize that different people will find different things funny. Take it easy.

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought the video was, well, kinda brutal.

Captain Dynamic = I14, MA, player-made content (based on player-written character descriptions we see in game on a daily basis). Awesome, indeed!

The Boss Dude = the devs. First thing the guy does is take away (nerf) someone's gum (fun). Could it be more obvious?

The crack writing team = Us. That one guy, when he determines it's all fluff, just gets up and leaves. The others stick around and try to come up with something, but are ultimately crushed beneath the sheer 'awesome' of it all.

Brutal.

Two heroes are speeding across IP. One is using 3 speed enhancements and the other has an IO set. Which one of them begs for a teleport to their mission door first?

[/ QUOTE ]

The one that doesn't have a radar detector and got pulled over for speeding by the PPD!

Maybe someone has mentioned it already, but there are some clipping issues with the Valkyrie gloves and some of the shields. Of the shields I've tried, the kite, heater, round, tribal, cavalier, and tech show the back of the hand poking through. The targe, riot shield, and manhole cover, however, are okay.

The Valkyrie wings also clip into the backsides of female characters when they're standing straight, but there's no clipping on male or huge characters.

Subjective Opinion:

I13: Rinse and Repeat - introducing the Merit Reward System!

Hey, guys, we know some of you are a maybe little tired of repeating the same old stuff you've already done dozens of times over and over and over, and, well, over, and that's understandable, sure, but now with I13 we've made it so that while you're re-doing all this old content for your 400th alt you'll be earning MERITS with which you can obtain GOODIES! See the MERITS? Nice MERITS! Now get out there and earn yourself some MERITS! And maybe while you're at it you won't notice we're pretty much out of ideas for anything really new...

Soon to be followed by:

I14: Here, Make Your Own Damn Content.

Trainers (or a single co-op trainer) in Pocket D would be nice for when someone levels up during all the BNY grinding, and/or during the Valentine's day stuff.

I think it would have been cool if they'd given us a 'sled/ski/whatever' temp power for use on the ski slopes. Something similar in appearance to the Prestige Power Slide, maybe. So that *everyone* would have immediate access to a power that would let them at least have a chance for the gold.

Same mission, same thing, except after Lt. Alston defeated my dark/dark corr he left as quickly as he'd appeared and I was able to return from the hospital and complete the mission with no further difficulty.

I'll stay here while Posi fixes things up and continues to deliver what players have asked for.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, yeah? I believe we are all still waiting, ever so patiently, for...

PONY RIDES! And for inspirations to use Hostess Fruit Pie icons for increased verisimilitude and awesomeness.

So there.

Cya, LH. Hope it all works out for ya.

What NCSoft as a company chooses to do with the revenues from subscriptions or micro-transactions is really a different matter all together.

[/ QUOTE ]

So the additional revenue from the in-game ads is not automagically going back into development like a lot of folks around here like to think?

[ QUOTE ]
Didn't one of the rednames saw, roughly, where the money goes? I recall it wasn't for champagne and Ferarris.

[/ QUOTE ]

I believe it was RC Cola and AMC Pacers, with an occasional trip to Disneyland whenever there was a little 'mad money' to spare.

Triple A? So, if my car breaks down I can send in a petition and a team of GMs will come out and fix it?
