Ironblade

No, it was probably NOT an oversight. Kindly note that none of the Leadership toggles affect league-mates. It would be overpowered.

Interesting. Apparently, adding 'alive' does nothing unless you also add 'enemy'.

Or you could wrap your scarf around your head until it all goes away.

Oh? Who am I going to listen to? You, or Bill Gates?

That's basically farming marketears, no?

As I understand it, this feature was introduced 'back in the day' because if you logged out while on a TF, it dropped you from the team. That was fixed ages ago. So, as far as I can tell, we no longer need this feature at all.

It's well-known that, with better nutrition, humans today are taller than humans in the past.
Medieval knights were typically 5-7 inches tall.

Given us the word 'vomitorium'.
(And no, it does not mean what most people think it means.)

From the article you linked:
Since our shields are worn on the arm, and there is no other option, this example really isn't applicable.

Kindly refer to the thread about the Staff Fighting set where it was revealed that ParagonWiki staff use time-travel to get information in advance.

Yeah, it happens. People deliberately post incorrect information for their own agenda. This is also very common with political figures. It will eventually get corrected. Also, on an entry where this happens a lot, the wiki staff will typically 'lock' the article so random clowns can't edit it.

It starts at the default and, if you never actively change it, it stays that way.
Or do you mean that you want to change how other peoples titles appear to you?

Paragonwiki. Where else?

No and yes. All but one Winter Event started in the FALL. And all but one (the same one) started in December. The 2004 event actually started in January 2005.

Isn't it obvious? They are prioritizing releasing new material. There seems to be a consensus building that the priorities need to be adjusted slightly. The level of bugginess SEEMS to be increasing. So does customer dissatisfaction.


Right.... I'm entitled because I actually want to help test stuff but broken software tools are impeding that. Clearly a sign of epic entitlement when someone wants to go out of their way to be helpful. Typical forum response, though. When you don't have a good response, make a stupid and fatuous post. (shrug)

Actually, I do have enough knowledge and experience to suggest a solution. It's quite simple. Shift some resources from new features to fixing old ones that are broken. As far as I can tell, there are bugs and glitches across all departments - costumes, maps, missions, reward systems, etc, etc. There's something for everyone to fix.

Yes, in fact Zwillinger specifically mentioned this. HOWEVER you obtain a costume part (Astral Merits, limited time offer, Tier 9 VIP, etc) they will never take it away. In fact, there is no system in the game by which they would even be able to do so.

Yep. It's tempting. But they had that half-off sale back before the Freedom release and I bought 10. So I'm waiting for another sale of similar magnitude.

You forgot to mention that this whole episode is a LITERAL SLAP IN THE FACE!


Probably. I seem to recall a study indicating that the average player age in this game was 28.

I, on the other hand, got my first computer about 35 years ago.... According to Wikipedia, the TRS-80 Model 1 came out in 1977, so 34 years. So while I wasn't employed back then, you're not the only long-term programmer.


Sadly, I agree. It seems to me that we are seeing bugs in greater volume lately. My conclusion is that this is a result of 'rushing things out the door'. We certainly have seen a faster pace of content release and I think Quality Control is suffering for it.


Oh, don't even go there. I recall an episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show with Eric Braeden guest-starring. He was playing a media critic and delivered the line, "One need not be a chicken to judge an egg." I don't have to be personally able to do a better job in order to have a valid opinion regarding the quality of a product.

Seriously? Are you joking? If I needed a character to test high level content, I used to be able to get one with about 4 mouse clicks.
Now I have to:
create a toon
request a level bump
re-pick powers and slots up to 50
buy and craft IO's

I don't think so. I'm not going to spend an hour on menial tasks for the honor of doing free testing for the devs. Previously, I had a stable of toons available for testing things, as well as a supergroup and base. Then they wiped the test server and the character copy tool was either broken previously or at the same time. I've been trying the copy tool every 1-2 days to see if it's fixed yet.

I WANT to test stuff. I WANT to help out. But right now, there are simply too many obstacles. I'm not willing to jump through that many hoops. They need to fix the character copy tool. I see a lot of people complaining that there wasn't enough testing on recent issues. I don't know if that's true. It might be. I sure as hell didn't do any testing. And I'm not going to be doing any testing until the devs get around to making it easier for us to help them out.

Not wanting to rain on your parade, but your own experimental evidence suggests otherwise. CoH is way WAY more demanding on the video card than most other MMO's. If everything looks fine at the lowest graphics setting, but not anything higher, that definitely suggests your video card simply can't handle higher settings.
