First of all there are a total of 79 people on these forums right now. that's at peak time ish.

[/ QUOTE ]

Forum peak time != Game peak time.

And more boys play than girls, so that = lack of multi-tasking - forums are quiet because people are playing

City? what city? I couldn't keep my eyes of Sister Psyche's norks!!!!

Manticore will shoot you

I've never seen the round one on the bottom right, or the one to the left of it, but the two further left are quite common in-game ones.

Rather curious about this but how many people would prefer that the dev's forgo an issue for an entire graphics overhaul? or even a new paid expansion?

[/ QUOTE ]

Lets expand on that:
Would people PAY for an entire graphic overhaul? Say the amount a new game would cost? If the gameplay would not be altered but the graphics got a big boost?

[/ QUOTE ]

I would.

[/ QUOTE ]

I would - or at least, I'd get somone to pay for me

Now if walking served a actual purpose like giving you a stealth bonus i could see the point

[/ QUOTE ]

Capes and wings serve no purpose - one or two players seem to like them though

I guess my problem with it is they're all weapons that feel archaic. Sure people do still use clubs and shields in modern days and god knows swords turn up plenty enoguh in sci fi, but they're not common enough to justify the number of sets given to them!

In short, where the hell is our dual pistols set?

A lot of old style weapons are still pretty neutral until you see what the avatar using them looks like.
A sword is just a strip of sharp metal, and can be used by a robot or someone in a tunic and armor - it's just that most people think that the tunic and armor look for a sword user is more suitable than the robot look.

That's totally awesome!

Thanks so much for that

Now I need to make my avatar into a .gif to display it

I don't think they should upgrade at the expanse of content - they need to keep the content coming, as not everyone would like to skip an Issue just to get some newer graphics.

Statues are really known for moving much at all

I think SG statues would be best

I think that as the environment is really just a background, and it's the avatars we're focused on, including the enmy ones, then upgrading just the avatars would still make the environment seem like it was upgraded too.

You really are cynical

If you type /r won't that let you reply even to a fragmented Tell?

Maybe it could be added as part of an improved SG list from the SG Registrar? It could also appear on the selection window when you click a base portal - the base name could be followed by the SG name - like "Evil Lair - Evil Inc."

PM sent

Ok, I'll select a suitable screenshot right away

Does it have to be full body?

So what are the two that are even "worse"

Ooh, me first, please

Do we post a screenshot here, or PM you one?

Yeah - fantasy seems to = medieval + magic, rather than any situation that is imaginary.

I think the worst bug by far is the one that fragmnents chat.

What happened is that the feedback they received from the majority was effectively unusable

Don't you mean "unprintable"?

Currently, I'm just soloing a few flashbacks to play low level content that I've never played before on my character

I'm about to start that too - the lack of gold stars on the Ouroboros mission list challenges me

May 5th 2009 is a Tuesday, by the way

I think it's mostly to do with the general view people have - fantasy = medieval = old-fashioned/not modern, so any weapon that isn't used now must be not/modern/old fashion, so that = medieval = fantasy.
Like a gun and a bow and arrow are designed with the same idea - a device to fire an object over a distance to hit a target - but because one is still used a lot today, it doesn't have that connection to older times.
I think the typical view of fantasy is that it's based on the past - like the middle ages, but with all the middle ages superstitions made real.

I think they're more likely to upgrade the textures first, as that wouldn't be so drastic as remodeling stuff, although I'd like remodeled player avatars, with smaller hands with separate fingers, animated facial features like blinking and smiling, more realistic bust shapes, flexible waists so we could turn at the waist rather than slide in a circle like we do right now - stuff like that.

As for making the city more alive, I'd like to see more zone events involving signature AVs as well as the generic AVs from the Safeguard missions, raiding banks/offices/other facilites.
And the cops would show up too, as well as a crowd of onlookers for those classic superhero entrances - a building surrounded by cops and their cars, a crowd of people gathered, and you fly/swing/drop/jump in with a "what seems to be the problem, officer?"
