  1. I liked the in-game adds too - I thought they were totally ok in a modern day setting.
  2. When I meet new players, I usually just tell them that the crafted enhancements are good, but aren't vital to play the game with - so it's better to get a feel for what the actual game is like first.
    I also give them the address for paragonwiki, the forums, and my global, so they can read up on it themselves, or contact me if they need in-game help.

    And it's also a question of trust - for example, Statesman probably wouldn't trust a Rogue to lead his TF, and Recluse wouldn't trust a Vigilante to lead his SF.

    At Hero Con, it was said that they can't start them though - they can join teams doing them, but they can't start them.

    I'm not sure that's something they're going to tell us right now

    On the old Euro forums, BAB got an...interesting response when he showed up
    The problem was that he had to make a Euro account to be able to post there, and he did it during the evening here, so the Euro mod wasn't at work, and wans't around to first confirm it really was BAB, and second, wasn't able to give him a red name - so when a guy with BAB's name and avatar, but without a red name, introduced himself, the thread turned weird very quickly - and he never bothered to post there again

    Do you use an IP scrambler? That can cause problems like that.

    And one of the features is something I really really dislike.

    There was one which was pretty controversial, and involved a 20 minute discussion on a topic I never imagined could happen in a conference room.
    It's something to do with furries, isn't it?

    Yes - it's called Cryptic Studios.

    The chances of that happening are close to zero - and by close, I mean like minus five or so

    Now, if Jack was still here, then yes, adding the long-requested side-switching system to the game, and then excluding anyone who used it from using the long-requested endgame system would be something an MMO visionary would do.
  12. Badge hunting is one of my favorite parts of the game - but there's no moral problem here

    Not if we had moving hair in the game, no

    That's ok - there are 11 million other people just like that

    But you do have over-complicated deathtraps and an endless army of expendable minions, don't you?

    Welcome to the forums anyway

    I think the biggest problem is that it'd probably totally destroy the AE file size limit

    But it'd be really cool if players could upload their bases into the AE, for other people to use, rather than just having the players only able to use their own bases in the AE, which is probably how they'd have it at first.

    It had more sound effects in closed beta - when you stopped and wiped your brow, it used to have a rather manly sighing sound - that seems to have been removed now, along with the screaming alternative jumping sound
  19. I think City of Sidekicks would need to bring that message back.
  20. It was one of the first things I did when the walk power was added

    I don't recognize that NPC, or the emote
  23. There are lots of enhanced sounds in I17 - you can even hear the rustling noise of the paper bags some NPCs are carrying - as well as a coughing sound every time a contact does the coughing emote

    If you PMed mod, they might be able to tell you - I think they can trace comments.
  25. The rep system is pretty silly - I've never bothered to give any out to anyone at all - I prefer to just tell them in the thread that I agree/disagree with them
