Quote:It makes our avatars feel more realsitic and connected to the world.Originally Posted by Du Hast
no I said I get that I understand others want it but I dont get WHY they want it. -
The major problem for spy missions would be the fact that the majority of heores are superpowered, and can super speed, super jump, fly and teleport their way around, and unleash huges amounts of damage from their powers - have to sneak around and avoid enemies is kinda going against the way the gameplay is designed.
But there was one idea I had when GR was first announced, and that old NCSoft marketing survey with the Spy AT was brought up again, and that is to infiltrate a special Praetorian facility that suppressed all your powers, except Sprint and Brawl.
It would be some kind of top secret place Tyrant had shielded in some way from superpowers, to protect whatever was being stored there or going on inside - the staff would be normal NPCs, including security guards, as well as Clockwork.
You'd get a pistol temp power for the mission, but the enemies would have more firepower than you, so you'd have to avoid them to get to the heart of the facility and discover/take whatever the mission goal was, and then escape.
The power suppression tech is already in the game with the quiet studio in the AE buildings, and so are temp stealth and weapon powers, so rather than making anything new, it's just using existing stuff in a new way. -
I hope so - if not, I'll guess, and go for best available stuff at the time
EDIT: Actually, if the first wave of closed beta isn't until early next year, I don't think we will find out the specs until 2010. -
Redesigned avatars to be a little more detailed and lifelike - this would include moving hair

That will be in a incremental build pretty soon.

I don't RP - but I'll be using walk a lot

Sounds like "freedom" needs a lesson in humility.

Source for claim?
Not saying you're wrong, as a matter of fact , I hope you're right, but I don't know of anything official being said about it. -
Quote:So you won't even think about it when you see other people using it?Originally Posted by Primal
I am in this apparent minority as well. I'll be using a walk ability about as much as I've been using the fly poses, which is to say I'll toggle it once to check it out, then turn the running back on and never think about it again.
It's a heck of a lot easier to use than the fly poses

Quote:I don't think Recluse, Nemesis or Tyrant have ever actually done any jail time - and I also don't think they're wannabe bad guysOriginally Posted by Spear0
There's also the concept that until you've done time, you haven't really learned how to be a "bad guy". Until then, "criminals" who haven't done time are simply wanna-bes that aren't taken seriously.

Quote:There are very few people who wouldn't want some sort of choice as to who was going to govern their country.Originally Posted by Spear0
Just because it's good for the US doesn't mean it's good for every nation. In addition, the people have to want democracy. Just shifting the government to a democratic process does not a democracy make.
Also, the Rogue Isles very Western, so it's not like a democracy would be totally strange to them - it just seems to be something that Recluse is afraid of

Quote:Does any text after you enter the Rogue Isles refer to breaking you out of the Zig, or does it just refer to Arachnos bringing you to the Rogue Isles, but doesn't say where you were brought from?Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
So...by that logic, why the hell does it mean you HAVE to have gone to the Zig?
Villains have not all been arrested before going to the Rogue Isles. They can be if the player wants the backstory to run that way, but they don't have to have been nabbed, nor should they be forced to have it that way. -
Quote:Because it's the best available system of government right nowOriginally Posted by Spear0
And why would it need to be a democracy, proper or not?!?!? Imperialism rears its ugly head again...
-
When the flashback system was first announced, I always assumed it was going to be a semi-co-op zone, with Heroes and Villains together, but with Hero missions only being able to be played by an all-Heo team, and Villain missions only able to be played by an all-Villain team.

Quote:I never played SWG - ddi they make it harder to be a Rebel in it?Originally Posted by Bookkeeper_Jay
This I would like to see because by joining the Resistance you're basically declaring "war" against Cole and the Loyalists, which is, in this case, an incentive for Loyalists and servants of Cole to blast your head off at any turn.
Reminds me of my old SWG days concerning the Rebs vs. Imps thing. -
Quote:One thing they could do is to make the center of the city around Tyrant's tower into something like a hazard zone for Resistance players - like the Praetorian Police mobs would be bigger there, and there'd be no hospital or trainer to use, so you'd feel more like you really were in enemy territory.Originally Posted by Bookkeeper_Jay
A large city like that...plenty of places to hide a base, right? I'd think that each will have a respective area. I'm also pretty sure that "neutral" parties will be using the public medical centers, whilst Cole and the Resistance each have their own cattered areas hidden away from the public eye.
I'm going to go ahead and say I think that the Resistance hospitals will be in dangerous/hidden areas of a zone Cole wouldn't be stupid/crafty enough to find. Either that or the other Resistance hospitals will be in heavily guarded strongholds with attacks now and then.
As for Cole I suspect obvious areas within his own territory, a mix between Arachnos and Paragon facilitation/location.
Just my view of the things to come. -
Quote:None of that is an excuse to let tyranny surviveOriginally Posted by BigFish
Ah! But you see, the United States is a Representative Republic itself. Not a "Proper Democracy". What about Mexico? It's just as 'rigged' and 'corrupt' as the Isles. Why don't you 'heroes' bother THEM for awhile? Afghanistan? Their President's BROTHER is an OPIUM LORD! Worry about that too, while you're at it
Face it GG, there is no "Proper Democracy" anywhere outside of the Rikti Worldmind in any dimension yet found by the Portal Corp. You're chasing a philosophical phantom
That's like saying "crimes happen no matter how many cops there are, so let's not bother with cops anymore"

Quote:If Recluse would set up a proper democracy in the Rogue Isles, I'm sure there'd be a lot less trouble coming his way from Paragon CityOriginally Posted by BigFish
That's an example of Ugly Paragon Exceptionalsim! Recluse attacking PC is a crime, but Longbow and Wyvern attacking the Isles is "OK"?
That certainly is NOT a mature, logical way to look at the world
-
Quote:And how would freeing the people of the Rogue Isles from Recluse's rule cound as oppression?Originally Posted by BigFish
And I believe that by "liberate" you mean "repress". If you truly believe that the people of the Rogue Isles need "repression", then so does the Resistance in Praetoria!
Full on hypocrisy!

Quote:I don't think Longbow attacks civiliainsOriginally Posted by BBQ_Pork
By "liberate" do you mean "roast with flamethrowers and lob grenades at"?
-
Quote:And by "repress" you mean "liberate"?Originally Posted by BigFish
As has already been pointed out, they are attempting to repress the citizens of the Etoile Isles COSTANTLY!
cheese, open your eyes GG...

Melody Harkness was the Governor of Warburg until she was murdered and replaced by Marshal Jason Blitz - but as he's a rogue Marshall, I'm not sure if he counts anymore
-
So what happens if Recluse sends a few goons to Praetoria to do a bit of damage there if he thinks Tyrant might be a threat to his own plans to take over Primal Earth?Which side would you take then?
-
So are you following Tyrant or Recluse? Or both?
