  1. My Entry:

    Like I mentioned, this one was giving me some difficulty, but I think it pulled together right at the last minute. I'm not embarrassed to show it now anyway This is my first ever attempt at designing a poster.

    Made with Illustrator and Photoshop, pulled together using InDesign. And since it's an InDesign project, if you REALLY want an 18x24 inch poster of this for some reason, you can grab the PDF: http://nopurpose.org/stuff/layouts/feb_poster_take2.pdf

    It gives me more time to procrastinate.

    City Vault Beta

    We don't know how the back end of CoH works exactly, so we can't really speculate with any degree of accuracy if any given method would be possible. A lot of CoH's back end code was written by a dev team back in the day when they had very little experience writing a MMO, and the impression I've been getting (mostly from the hoops the devs have described jumping through to get power customization up and running) is that they weren't initially designing the initial game engine with an eye towards easy customization...

    I have faith with the devs that if there was an easy solution to the problem, they would have dedicated the time to exploring it considering how many resources went into getting all the groundwork done for it.

  5. ...

    It's a miracle! I'm starting to actually not hate my entry!
  6. Mine's conceptually done.

    I'm having a lot of problems with the visual elements. I like the design, it conveys the idea properly but it looks like a rough with stand in artwork (my lack of drawing ability is showing heavily). I'm unhappy with how it's turning out so far...
  7. The only hiccups I might expect for the Mac in the "upcoming features" department is how nicely Ultra Mode is going to play with the transgaming cider layer. The OS X version already has several graphical glitches that aren't present in the native windows (understandably due to the conversion layer).

    EDIT: je_saist, your first link leads into an area that you shouldn't be linking to

    It might look like somebody created it with their butt... I'm waaaaay past the boundaries of my drawing skillz with this one...

  10. Ok, lets try it this way. You are allowed to play the game in any way that you wish (assuming you're not exploiting or cheating in some way of course) that provides you with an enjoyable playing experience *except* when the way you enjoy playing conflicts with the way others enjoy playing.

    You can chose to RP your character any way you want (within the user agreement) right up until the point where your RP clashes with others. If a majority of a team don't appreciate how you're playing your character, your options are to either change how your character is playing to fit in or to not play on that team. Just because your playstyle is influenced by a character concept does not give you any higher priority than others who want to play a different way. It doesn't matter if you're a villain and they're heroes. You're all players, and you all deserve to enjoy playing the game.

    This.

    The 7 other people on your team wanted to fight through the mission. You didn't.

    Moral of the story: Always ask if a team you're on wants to go straight for the objective or not.

    Also you waiting by the door doing nothing while the rest of your team got the key? Yeah, that's not cool.

    It's not a difference between heroes and villains at all. What you perceive as Roleplaying, other players (including other villain players) perceive as "leaching XP"

    Generic names

    They do give you a free rename token.

    But you should be fine with that name.

    Aside from actually starting to use my deviantArt page for stuff that I've created now...that's my viewpoint.

    I don't expect a reply or feel upset at all if I don't get a thanks for a fav. It's not that big of a deal to me.

    That's about where I'm at Just started working out some thumbnail sketches to figure out how I want things situated. But at least I got started!
  17. It wouldn't be against the user agreement. It *would* take a very very long time if you're only doing the team up thing between missions.
  18. I was thinking about possibly tossing something in for the heck of it. Depends greatly on if I come up with a good enough idea.
  19. I come out in full support of the Television!

    What good is a shiny gloss on old stories?? No good at all I say! Only the Television can provide us with the new stories and new beloved characters (unless said stories and beloved characters are on FOX in which case we will get 1 or 2 story arcs and then they will be canceled...but I digress...) that we so desperately crave.

    A re-run of a popular show in HD is still something that's been seen before!

    Three cheers for the Television! I await your commands.

    (Also, unless Dr. Aeon is going to buy me a new computer, his offering of ultra mode tempts me not. )

    well those little suckers take forever to go away.

    P.S. Just for future reference is it just Frost Magus that no one else is allowed to draw? Or does the W object to the drawing of
    all your heroes/villains? Do you have another main besides FM?
    Frost Magus and Dark Frost (Her villainous counterpart, also known as Night's Frost on virtue) are off limits behind chain link fences with that razor wire stuff, guarded by armed guards and vicious dogs.

    I do have other characters which are open to being drawn, not sure I'd classify them as "mains" but I have a couple I really like.

    And since we're on the subject, I figure I should mention that I do prefer being asked if somebody wants to use one of my characters in a piece. Just to make sure they're not being used in such a way that it's totally out of character for them or something like that. Frost/Dark Frost are the only automatic "NO!" responses. Everything else is open to negotiations

    99% chance that you'll be ok with 2GB. That seems like a fairly inflated min memory requirement on their part.

    Welcome! To change your global name There's an option in the menu. I believe it's "Global Name" and then there's a button you push to change it. Note...you can only change this ONCE. Once you have changed it, you are stuck with it. So make it a good one.

    2- Where can I go, closest to Atlas, Galaxy and Mercy Island - to buy a Raptor Pack? Also, any tips on making 10,000 inf as fast as possible to buy one?
    Hero side, the closest (and only) place to buy a temp flight power is in the shadow shard. Which means taking the train to either steel canyon or Skyway and hopping on the other train in the zone to Talos island. Then hop the ferry to Peregrine Island, wander all the way up through the high level mobs (I'd recommend staying in the water as much as you can) and using the portal in the Portal Corps building to get there

    Villain side, I'm not so sure.

    3- Is there any way to go back to missions you out level or will I never be able to until I get to use the flashback thing i heard about?
    Flashback is the only way to go back and play old missions (short of finding a lower level character to team with that has said missions. It's not available until at least level 25. At that point you can ask somebody to open an Ouroboros portal at which point you can go in and grab one of the badges (there's one on top of the tower in the zone) to get your own portal. Alternatively, you can use the pillar base add on in any Supergroup base that has one (once you reach 25 still)

    4- If I get hover at level 6, do I have to get the flight-punch thingie before I can get flight, or can I just get flight at level 8? If not, when do I have to wait.
    You only need one power in the pool to unlock the third power. Flight is available at level 14, by the way, not 8.

    5- I have my first HERO on Freedom and my Vill on Virtue, anyone know of a good light/medium RP supergroup that is also into pve and all the other content
    You might be better off asking about SG/VGs in the respective server forums. Freedom is pretty light on the RP in general, but you should be able to find something in there. I predict no problems finding RP on Virtue though.
