Cause somebody invents the wheel, doesn't mean I need to thank them, they are providing us an advancement in humanity, which one day somebody else will as well, and continue to do so till our species dies out.

Did Paragon Studios thank Arcanaville? this is an American company and in a Capitalism economy, I can bet you 100M inf she saw not one dime in her efforts, and probably got the Edison/Tesla treatment..

Tesla: "Hey I got an IDEA! free electricity for all!!!"

Edison: "Can we market off that?"

Tesla: "Well..No...It's FREE!"

*Edison electrocutes a live elephant to show the dangers of free electricity*

Tesla: "WTF you do that for!! now they think electricity is dangerous and needs to be controlled!!"

Edison: "This is America, we are Capitalist, nothing is free moron, now watch the world laugh at you, and I market off your ideas and make myself into history!"

Tesla:

Now, I bet she's in all the beta's gets a heads up on developments that are "in the works" but it's all done for free *I assume* meaning even though she helps and does what she does awesomely, unless their is a paycheck involved like the rest of Paragon Studio gets, then well, I can't fully agree the people of this game thanked her enough.

The butt-kissing part? well that goes for allot that goes on here, I find it that there is a human condition that makes people see somebody as higher than them, by their miracles and wondrous powers, and those that they feel are beneath that, are compelled to worship or "butt-kiss" to make that person seem higher than them, it's been through history, and I would like this action to stop, cause it gives people god-complexes when sometimes those people are no where near greater than us.

"Creation is a tool given by the gods, use it, and use it wisely, for there are those that cannot grasp the ability to create themselves, and will burn you at the stake if that of which you've created seems far too higher than those that cannot create themselves can grasp.."

Point is, everyone needs to stop Q_Q'ing about not getting into CB. CB is pointless in my eyes if it goes live soon after, I rather wait for all of you to pull your hair out, fix the bugs, Q_Q about not getting in or not having enough time then ME having to do anything with CB.

Call me an a-hole if you feel like it, it isn't a crime.

I'm guessing that's one of the reasons they merged, so now you can take over inf and salvage when you side swap, otherwise you'd still end up with all the inf on one side of the game (Heroes).

Also: It's about damn time.

2 simple fixes and story arches wouldn't be annyoing at all, and far superior IMO to paper missions.

1. Keep the zoning to an absolote minium. Only zone if it makes since to do so. (IE, you need to speak to a contact in a different zone). Outside of that, keep them all in zone.

2. Give us the phone number right off the bat. Screw this trust thing. I get telemarketer calling me on my cell phone... phone numbers are not usually a big private trust earning deal, and if you trust me enough to put peoples lives in my hands by god you should trust me enough to give me your cell phone number...

You do that, and I'd never touch paper missions again. Frankly, i don't DO paper missions red side at all usually, cause the missions are all pretty much in the same zone, and you get the cell phone eairly. (though, IMO, you should just be giving it at the start like in the RWZ)

But hero side, where the contacts love to send me all over the map for each mission? Screw that. I'll run papers. (or i guess, scanners..) Hope the dev's do the new missions for the new zone more like CoV and a lot less like CoH.

Arcs certainly seem weird to some players.

I run PUGs all the time and I use a mixture of radio missions and arcs, the other night as I was in Steel and level 17 so I decided to run the Midnighter arc.

After spending some time assembling a team, I managed to get a fairly nice balance and after waiting what seemed like an age for some players to get to the mission from Atlas we were ready to go.

Whilst waiting I looked at some of the players info, hmm mixture of vets and newbies, should be ok I thought…

Well I soon realised that our tank (despite his vet badges) was one of those just stood there waiting for someone to do something and despite having scrappers and blasters, my defender ends up drawing all the agro as no one else will do anything. I politely explained that perhaps my fender shouldn’t “tank” and talked about agro, but no dice.

Somehow I manage to survive through most of the missions, one or two defeats excepted and erm I’m sorry Lady Jane. Anyway I go on to craft the lost cure and despite constant communication with the team it’s clear no-one has a clue what’s going on, so I end up doing the final part almost solo.

I then suggested that perhaps we should go to Faultline and do the Jim Temblor arc, as Fusionette will no doubt need some assistance (again), no laughs…it seems the none of the team have heard of Fusionette? I explain to the team that the arc is good and has AV’s etc. The team seems keen, however after 10 minutes of waiting, half of the team hasn’t arrived as they have no idea how to get to faultline (these were not all new players), they seem keen to get on a train, I explain that there is no train line to Faultline, and that either get the train to Skyway, use Pocket D, base TP or mission TP if you have it. After 5 more minutes 3 players quit in a row, no doubt because (despite my polite instructions and offer to use my base) they can’t find Faultline.

Luckily I recruit a couple more players and we begin, in the first mission we find Fusionette and the player leading her out doesn’t seem to get the idea and after lots of prompting, seeming starts to move towards the exit, however ends up going completely the wrong way running into the last remaining mob on the map, faceplants and then suddenly quits without a word.

Work is less effort sometimes

I think the devs have said that they can theoretically do just about anything suggested in the suggestions forums... But in reality there are various constraint factors and it's only in rare cases is something truly impossible by the game's engine (like long skirts and robes), and some of the constraints are just the time and manpower that would need to be invested into it to make it right.
