  1. This thread is so much win.
    I have finally silenced that overall hum in my base. Heaven!

    Now to track down the hum that comes from the crystal in Azuria's room in City Hall... It's not *as* bad as it used to be, permeating the entire City Hall, but it's still a headache inducing sound.

    Thanks very much for the updated list, Tylerst.

  2. I take it you haven't done much Praetorian (GR) content?

    Since Eva said that she logged in on that toon within the last week, there's no way she should have been demoted.

    Sounds like /bug & /petition time.

  4. Gratzie on the "level up".
  5. lol

    you've kept the meter quite nicely...

    .
  6. Another one off the list,
    aaaaannnd another one down, another one down,
    Another one off the list!

  7. Updated the list to account for the new TPers and broken beacon fixes.
    Dunno, if folks have noticed, but I've been re-coloring the text on items that have been addressed along with a little note as to when.

    I do recall that sometime back (i19? 20?), there was an effort to address these points:
    • Game Client can shutdown while you are zoning to your base with the message "You have been forcibly disconnected from the server. MapShuttingDown"
    • Game crashes after extensive time (2+ hrs) spent editing base.
    I haven't had these issues in a while, can anyone else confirm that they seem to have been addressed?

    okay.
    It's been ages since I've done it, so I'll take your word for it.

    That about sums it up.

    Now, what is worth derailing this thread over is Diablolique's belt! SO WANT!
    Agreed.
    And agreed again.

    oh.
    So, what you're really saying, is that you came into this thread to belittle someone for making a non-sequitor?

    You are so cool.

  11. In the General Options, under Reticules, I believe there is a line called "personal player name"... you need to enable it.

    I believe this is also correct... as far as I know, Leagues do not work in bases.

    So... 3 members of the hosting SG need to be leaders of 3 teams... and not in league mode.

    3-D Maze in base

    Technically, it's not.

    But I think what Forbin was demonstrating was how a doorway could be walled off in such a manner as to create a unique room/doorway for a multi-room maze.

    Hassenpheffer and others have done this quite successfully.

    Nevertheless, even a single room maze is no small feat. Gratz, Felina.

    Which would be to say that she's implying your comment about wanting it for your characters was a bit of a non sequitur.

    I could be wrong though.
    Non sequitur indeed. Asking to have more comic book style outfits on the forums of a comic-book-based MMO was uproariously funny. Enough so I may have woken the neighbors while laughing at it.
    Ohhhhhh... Highbrow Humor...... good one.




    Okay....
    Now back to your regularly scheduled beauty pageant...

    Going from the in-game, not artist renderings, characters... I still stand by my previous vote for Mirror Spirit.
    I remember the first time I saw her, thinking, "Oooooooo... I want a costume like THAT". And, compared to the others, I still think she is the most unique and beautiful.

  15. Awesome job, DR!

    I always run your vids a few times in a row.
    for initial impact
    for rhythm and music (also part of editing)
    for images and editing

    As always, I think you've hit this one outta the park.

    Wow that one just wrote itself.
    Really?
    Because I didn't get it either.
    The "wardrobe malfunction", I got. That was mildly amusing.
    But the spinach/iron thing?...
    The only correlation to Arcana's second "joke" that I can think of is "Popeye".
    And frankly, that IS a stretch, and a pretty poor one at that; certainly not deserving of knee-slapping in my book.

    meh

    That's fine, and interesting to hear.
    Sometimes things become repeated or used so often that there is a misconception that they are "generic": Kleenex, Xerox, Jell-O etc.,. But in all actuality, they are items with a specific branding and specific imagery attached.

    My point is that it behooves any kind of artist* to understand the origins of certain poses and imagery. Because, intentional or not, the audience will pick up on the subtext (especially when several are used in combination). An educated artist knows how to use such subtext to their advantage... and there is no doubt in my mind that the Superman folks (writers & directors) knew this as well.

    BTW, A person can make observations about the use of imagery in art without attaching judgement.

    I understand that it wasn't before. Yet folks were still posting after it had been changed, which meant that folks were not double checking, which is why I posted it with links.

    Besides, at that price it better be a stack of Bacon Waffles filled with thick sliced Bacon.
    If you go to the locations link, there are several in LV... only one in SD, and one in Reno.

    And the waffle... it completely fills a dinner plate, is about an inch (or more) thick and has long thick strips of bacon baked in... These guys don't fool around, their portions are huge.

    But I understand travel restrictions, and I would love to try Holder's offering...

    definitely a theme with a very long cross cultural tradition.

  21. Look, I'm not trying to piss in anyone's cornflakes, I'm saying it was an interesting observation. The pose is thoroughly entrenched in christian art, and there is no mistaking the sacrificial savior and heavenly ascension themes in the submission.

    I disagree. The pose is not generic, but rather established by christian sculptors and artists in our early history. There are even pietas that date from 1375-ish, before Michelangelo's most famous statue in 1497.

    I would be interested to see if there is any non-christian art or sculpture before that time period, depicting the same pose (woman holding a dead prone man or "fallen hero").

    Just using quick image searches, I'm not having any luck with:
    ancient Greek statutes
    ancient Greek paintings
    ancient Roman statues
    ancient Roman paintings
    ancient Egyptian statues
    ancient Egyptian paintings
    ancient Chinese statues
    ancient Chinese paintings
    ancient statues of India

  24. 1. Leaf Nin - subtly simple, I just keep coming back to it
    2. Furry Jackel - feels cozy, warm colors, great technique
    3. Master Elemental1 - though I feel technique needs work, I was intrigued by the concept.
