    To take over the world you have to make sure it's intact to take over.

    That's the question that every devs must ask whenever they think about making a sequel to a MMO.
    Depends on several things for me. 1) How much better the system will be. 2) Depends on how much content there will be with it and how much of it will what we have in CoH now. 3) Most important of all, what my friends in the game would be doing. I couldn't imagine me teaming with anyone but RdlV.

    Well these are mostly advice columns. He didn't say follow what I said to a tee or I'll haxxor your account and delete all your toons after stripping them bare and having them do the run of shame through Atlas...not that I know anything about that...

  11. We have several Australian's on our server, most of 'em are pretty good folks. I'm sure Bud will post in this thread already but he's a top notch guy. We run all scrapper TFs off and on.

    Bueno, I already have mine all planned out in said case. Thanks for the rapid reply Dazz.
  13. My main already has a costume that's perfect for it. I'll try and see if I can show up.

    Edit: Also when revealing our alternate reality version will we be allowed to use costume change emotes?

    To add to that, there wasn't anything stopping them from telling us not to do/use something they allegedly felt wasn't working as intended. You know, rather than "fixing" it 16 months later. Or 2 years later. Or 5 years later. *rolls eyes*
    I'm sure they know of quite a few bugs. But *refers back to priority list and release/fix conversation* But I'm sure you were to busy listening to yourself to hear that. This conversation is to circular to be of anymore importance to me. Gonna go play the game. Good day.

    My point is that coding takes time and they have probably have a list o' priorities. But I suppose I have to spell it out to you.

    What does coding have to do with fixing part of a game...? Well let me lay it out like this. Part A of the game is broken/exploited/needs repairs. Well how is this bug fixed? Why coding! The coding team gets to work on putting together a patch to fix said issue. Are these patches 100% fixes or perfect? Not likely, but it's a step forward. But they are putting effort into finding a proper fix. BUUUUUUTTTT the coding team also has to look into releasing new content which people are also screaming for. So they are in the constant state of releasing/fixing. If they focus entirely on fixing then new content doesn't get release and people whine and moan about how they don't have anything new to do. If they just focus on new content the old bugs remain. Explain a bit? I hope so. Reading comprehension indeed.

    Besides, the excuse "We didn't know you would do that with that!" has been used too many times. This isn't their first year working on this MMO or with this community. We're talking over 5 years now. One generally learns their lesson after the first few times.
    Yep, I've never played this game before. It's big and scary. I'm glad I can talk to someone like you! You must be an expert on the situation. So please enlighten me in what it takes to code a game?

    then you wouldn't have the storyteller population up in arms.

    is that honestly too much to expect from a matured game developer team?
    I agree. It's not like the devs are living people who are spending a lot of time coding, making updates, patches, upgrades, etc. Who are they to not catch everything from the get-go? *cracks whip* MOAR UPDATES! SLEEP LATER!

    *rolls eyes* *wipes the brown off your nose*
    To make use of selfishly or unethically: a country that exploited peasant labor. GG.

    You want to fix AE? Kill all the XP for it and kill the money rewards as well, then just for good measure, remove all drops except for inspirs and lastly, remove tickets or make it so you can only but inspirs with them.

    If the Devs do that, people will play AE missions for the content, not the overblown rewards. I mean, come one, lvl 1 to 50 in 10 hours is just rediculous, yet I have seen it many times.

    Seems to me that AE was intended not for farms (though people obviously exploited it that way) but to create more content for the game. Heck, good enough reviews even means it can be added as core content which is awesome.

    I personally can not understand Power Gamers. Growing the toon up seems the real fun to me, playing a toon at Lvl 50 forever is boring. But that is just my humble opinion.
    Eh, well I think the biggest issue is that people were getting rewarded for running missions that had no challenge to them. Basically the risk/reward ratio was way off. Now this is a mighty hard thing to balance due to how AE is set up and honestly is there any really good way to figure out the proper ratio seeing as it's custom content? That's why AE is under constant patching process. People keep finding ways to unbalance the risk/reward of it. I'm sure the devs will eventually find a fair balance where people can run AE arcs and get decent awards. But as long as people attempt to exploit it they'll have to fix those exploits.
  21. It's a fix, possibly not the best fix but it fixes things for the time being. Just don't fill one mission with bunch of allied NPCs. There we go.

    Not that I know anything about that.
    Well Daredevil is either a rogue or a fighter (with some sort of exotic weapon proficiency feat) and since he's so acrobatic I'm sure he's taken some sort of feat that gives a bonus to escape artist checks...oh god I'm such a nerd...
  25. If I ever have spawn I think that's the formula I'll get for them.
