Glad you got in, and anger is understandable. I'm wondering if oyur crashing because your system has trouble with ultramode. If you can actually login to a character try turning off Ultra Mode and lowering the graphics settings.

Please understand that everyone understands and empathises with your situation but this is a weekend and I'm pretty sure you'll have to wait until Monday when people come back to work.

I truly hope this gets straightened out for you as quickly as possible.

Unless I'm in an area with tons of people running their powers all at once I've had very few hiccups in UM at max settings. Even when I'm on a team of MM's.

When the hiccups start I just turn down my settings and everything smooths out fine. This is the system I'm using, I need to save up for a new video card.

While it's true a rig like that has obvious faults, the tradeoff is that it turns a heavy weapon (the gun is closer to a .50 cal than an M-60) that would normally be a 2 man crewed weapon that gets set up in fixed positions to fire into a one man weapon most all the flexibility that comes with a single soldier being able to quickly deploy and change positions on a moments notice.

Imagine a group of hostiles behind a barricade in a building where the cover is enough to deter small arms fire. The heavy weapon on the gyroscopic boom arm could easily swing the weapon around the corner and fire thru the barricade while the gunner takes cover around the corner.

We already have devices like the corner shot that allow smaller weapons to shoot around corners.

My excuse for not emptying the salvage bins in the SG I inherited was that I was waiting to see in any of the founders were returning. After 2 years I finally decided I'd displayed enough loyalty and dumped over 12,000 pieces of base salvage on the market or converted the balance into invention salvage. (Their characters are still on the SG roster tho. I can't justify kicking them yet to myself.)

If you your main concern was to get your idea presented to the devs you would have simply PM'd them the suggestion. Instead you posted on the open forums hoping people would like the idea and help promote it. Now you're disappointed that your idea isn't getting the support you hoped for.


Good luck on your next suggestion, maybe it will be more popular.

Let me clarify myself then. I object to letting other players on the same server getting to use the same name. I don't object to player "A" reusing the ame name on his own account/server.

If he enables the filter that blocks all emails from people not on his friends/SG list(s) it won't matter if RMT sites are sending spam to his global. He'll only get emails from friends and SG members.

You guys are a bunch of spoilsports. I was looking forward to watching Lonely's howls of frustrated anguish when GR goes live and he discovered they didn't raise the level cap like he's convinced himself is gonna happen.

That's a good pie too.

1. GR hasn't been released yet so you have no idea what consequences the devs already decided to put into effect.

2. GR is getting ready to go into closed beta testing. You missed your chance to make suggestions that would be considered for implementation with GR. They aren't going to postpone the release date to change things now even if it was a good idea.

3. Getting defensive and insulting because someone doesn't like your idea isn't going to change peoples minds. In fact it will have the opposite effect. People will see you as throwing a hissy-fit and will attempt to bait you in order to watch your antics.

4. I like pie.

The Apple i-Pie that is.

Poor Gray is just frustrated because the big bad mods deleted his last doom thread. Having his thread castrated is very devastating to a guy like him.

Sadly they didn't consult me when they made the rules, but they've been against necroposting for as long as I've been a member of the forums.


The worst that will probably happen that it will get locked if one of the mods notices how long the thread has lain inactive before starting up again. And since the topic of the thread is one which usually causes heated debates it's more likely to get noticed.

Yes they could and did. RMT sites were creating trila accounts in order to

1. Rob the SG storage blind if they found the base permissions were lax. There was also an exploit that existed at the time which allowed someone in an SG that was in coalition with another SG to rob the coalition SG blind regardless of what sevurity settings the coalition SG had set.

2. Gather player character and global names so they could be added to their email spam lists.

3. Infiltrate SG, Coalition and Private chat channels in order to flood the channels with RMT spam.

Almost every single trial restriction was put into place to discourage RMT abuse.

5. Non-Constructive posts are prohibited.

Thread necromancy - Necro-posting is responding to an old discussion thread and is a form of thread ‘bumping’. If you wish to discuss a considerably older topic, create a new post and link to the older discussion.

If you keep your sense of humor you should be alright but Shark's warning relates to the fact that there will probably be a few people popping in who will be a lot less diplomatic with their posts from both sides.

If you see Memphis Bill's cut and paste on vehicles and read the whole thing you'll see after he explain's why we won't see vehicles he does offer up some alternatives that might work in the game.

I have a few characters that use the entire fitness pool when character concept calls for it. That being a character that doesn't have exotic powers to manipulate. Just increased speed, agility, health, and endurance from hard excerice, and weapons and equipment a normal human can use.

I'm sorry but I have to agree with Penny. You need to be more specific, because other than Swinging and Tunneling both games have identical travel powers.

Granted some of the animations are different. Their teleport animations are better than ours.

I think we have a lot more flexibility with our travel powers than they have with theirs. For example, they have Fireflight which is flight with a fire aura.

We can have flight with the following auras:

1. Electricity
2. Fiery
3. Flies
4. Gaseous
5. Glow
6. Glowing Aura
7. Rocky Crumble
8. Sparkles
9. Smoky
10. Smoldering
11. Starburst Glow
12. Tendrils
13. Vaporous

Their Jet boots is nothing more than our Flight with a Rocket Boot costume recipe.

The same way their Rocket Jump is our Super Jump with a Piston Boot recipe.

Instead of jetpacks (Ours actually work btw. Theirs are nothing more than nonfunctioning backpacks) they have flying platforms. Hover Disc, Ice Slide, Earth Flight where the character stands still while the platform moves.

Both games have wings

They have Super speed and Acrobatics. We have Superspeed and Ninja Run.

Furthermore our travel powers can be visually enhanced by also toggling on one of the Prestige Sprints Dash, Quick, Rush, Surge, and Power Slide.


Swinging looks dumb as hell unless you are in a city zone like Steel Canyon with lots of tall building to help with the immersion of swinging from building to building.

Tunneling may never be allowed in this game because it's abuse could easily be a gamebreaking exploit. Activate the power and the player is effectively invulnerable. We already went thru this with Phase shift.
