To be honest, I dont know why I bother, as I am getting more than a little fed up with being jumped on by the same bunch of posters every time I post.

Join the club - these forums are fast becoming a joke - and not a funny one. It seems that you can only post if
1) You think the game is perfect and cannot be improved
2) You spend more time in the forum then you do in game
3) You think anyone who has a different point of view is wrong
and finally -
4) You chant "there is no server population problem" over and over in the hope that it will brain wash the people who have a different point of view into agreeing with you
[/ QUOTE ]
1) No, the games not perfect. No idea where this came from.
2) I spend time mostly ingame, or doing other stuff. But I check the forum a lot to keep up to date on things. Is that a problem?
3) Oh, why does this sound familiar?...*coughHyprocritecough*
4) -Facepalm- Did GR telling you to stop have no effect?
Some people never learn...
[/ QUOTE ]
1) Check the suggestions board - the number of suggestions that have been derailed because people disagree with them speak for themselves
2) Was I refering to you personally?
3) No need to get personal - I respect others points of view even if I believe they have there head in the sand, you can respect a point of view and still disagree, IF (I believe) you are willing to at least look at the other point of view and try to understand it.
4) Was I saying there was / is a problem? I was mearly pointing out that some people have become very aggressive in their point of view that there is no population problem and have because almost nasty in some of their posts on the subject - which may have had the affect of stopping people wanting to post their point of view out of fear of being shot down in flames.
Now - please - lets not derail this thread anymore. -
This validates the point I was trying to make.
You've picked up on the least important bit of the post. -

If you don't want blind invites why don't you use the new "not accepting invites" option under "hide"? It's what I do.
In my experence there are more rude people not replying to tells then there are sending blind invites.
Be nice - Reply - even if it's a "no thnks" -

Does anyone else think it's ironic that Turus is telling people not to moan about in-game problems?
[/ QUOTE ]
Oh yes. Especially the bit where he's saying there's no need for another thread on the same subject. That's a killer, that one is!
[/ QUOTE ]
Why try and derail this thread?
Lets keep it on track please. -

Eh?
Is that even working? Last I heard it was still bugged.. sorry in development :P
Never done it. But I don't think it allows multiple teams of players to team up. -

Hey thats basically what I said but just more padded.
You could have quoted me

Now now T - behave. You're not a red name yet. -
Following on from the fun and games on Defiant where a group of about 20 or 30 heroes did a massive trick or treat run I've had an idea for some new content. Well... epic content I think.
Only thought about Hero side - but I'm sure the idea can be adapted for Villains.
A joint Task Force
1) Up to 3 Teams form up (possibly all from the same SG) up to max of 8 members
2) The teams then agree to form a task force from a new contact
3) Each of the teams is sent of on their own mission arc (max 3/4 missions) in a connected story arc - ending with a defeat AV
4) once each arc is completed the three teams are then given the same mission where they have to fight together
The final battle should be a clear all against a massive army of mobs of all types (mins, lts, bosses, and Ebs), coming in massive waves, the aim being a battle that taxes not just the fighting ability (and survivability) of a toon, but also their endurance in battle, and team working across teams/SGs.
Covering notes:
Level range:
The TF should be open to all toons over lvl 25 (think of it as a half way reward). All the villains should use the GM / invasion code so the mobs con at a level in range of what ever toon your playing - so you earn XP / Inf etc at the right lvl. This will also remove the need to have SKs and Exps, allowing team to be built up of all kinds of levels.
Story:
Haven't really thought over the story, but I would guess that it would need to be an epic story, bigger then just a single toon, or a single supergroup. Bigger then the ITF or the STF. Perhaps facing off against a new mob group, or one of the minor groups how have become tired of being small and want a piece of the bigger action.
Or maybe the return of everyone fav villain - FrostFire.
Missions:
I've said "upto 3" teams need to form the TF, but it could be completed with less the three teams. The missions given to each team would scale depending on the number of teams doing the TF, i.e. if only two teams, only two arcs would be given out - one for each team.
The arc themselves should be randomly assigned, so that the first team doesn't always get the first arc etc. This is to keep the content fresh for players, because in theory they could do the TF three times and have a different arc each time.
Reward:
The reward should be equally epic compared to the scale of the TF. I'm thinking:
a) Badge
b) Cozzie & extra cozzie slot
c) Temp power - or event permanent power along the lines of the Vets
d) Respec
e) brand new contact - not available anywhere else with a new arc
Well - thoughts - comments? -

I had a blast, at one point there were only about 12 heroes standing together with what looked to be a mob of 100+ charging towards us - what's not to like!
[/ QUOTE ]
Hmmm, gives me an idea - will post it on suggestions later

Smoke him a kipper, skipper, he'll be back for breakfast!

you can't petition Ace!
what a guy
-
Sweet gods above and below - what an event!!!
As one of the SG said - an hour of MAYHEM!!!
Can't remember when I've last had such fun in the game.
Message to the devs: if the hamster powering the PI map on defiant needs to be replaced please send the charge to the Scoobys SG - it's there fault
-
Finally...
If that was a dev triggered invasion of zombies across every zone - well done! -

Someone must be able to update us...

If the community hadn't generated so many hours worth of unnecessary work for me over the weekend I would have been able to address this for you much sooner.
This possible issue is under investigation and I'll update this thread as soon as I know more.
Edit: Please note that I acknowledged the issue in my locked post on General this morning.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well... what about the people who were around to switch the event on... didn't they hang around to sort the problems?
And let's really be frank here... if the event had been bug free in the first place then you wouldn't have had all this work this morning... so let's not blaim the concerned members of the forum for expressing there feelings at being let down in the only place they have to do so.
Sorry if I've offended anyone, I don't mean to, but if as a paying customer you can't express how you feel about the service you pay for then what does that say about the company? If the server population of Defiant is as high as some people belive / say then a lot of people were let down. -
so... it's been over 24 hours since this "challange" was spotted and so far the offical reply:
Nothing
No red name thread
No post in this thread
Someone must be able to update us... -
New thread title... "Defiant gets shafted once again..."
How about a DXP event to make up for this mickey mouse mistake? -
Yes

So many comments available - all of which might get me banned.
This does happen - and I believe it needs to be addressed somehow. -
No not a group of people running round in red tights very fast.
Building on a suggestion I raised in another thread Id like to expand on it and see what people think.
As mentioned in the other thread, recent additions to the game have allowed Rikti Invasions, and soon Zombie Hordes. So we have the underlying mechanics in place to flood a zone with a mob type.
At the moment this feature is being used for special events, Rikti weekends, or Halloween. Which is all well and good. Nice addition and my scrapper loves a full on Rikti battle.
I think there is room to expand this features. Initally I suggested Riots but it was pointed out that this may be in keeping with CoH. Fair point. We really dont want the NPC coming along on mass to batter us with there handbags.
So
Flash mobs. Random event in random zones. The back story could be along the lines of:
The fight back! Evil is on the raise. The villains of Paragon are out to take over our fair city.
The event would see a mob type make a push to take over a city zone by appearing on mass. Our jobs as heroes is to fight back to make sure that the mobs dont overrun the zone.
I think this would work in CoV too, with one mob type trying to take over a zone from another type, and our villains would be called upon to restore the balance of power.
As with other random events (Ghostship / GMs / etc.) badges could be awarded for fighting of a) different mob types, and or b) defending different zones. -
Another great idea.
Sadly over complicated, but the seed of a decent addition to the game is there, just needs to be a little bit more polished. -

I just think that being able to make the bases as customisable as you can characters would be a big bonus.
[/ QUOTE ]
Be fair - the bases are pretty customisable at the moment - and are there not rumours of some i13 improvements?
Personally I'm hoping for the removal of base rent across all plot sizes - what the point in saving the city everyday and not having to pay for a decent size base?

1 last thing would be when jumping server it would be nice to see a doctor who type vortex design indicating breaking through the walls of reality.
[/ QUOTE ]
But in breaking down the walls of reality you'll released the 3million+ Daleks and Cybermen - Paragon would be overun!!!! -
[ QUOTE ]
Like an art gallery where people can pay SG prestige to post a picture and more so to make a statue?
[/ QUOTE ]
Aye.
Depending on the size and type of statue, e.g. a large statue in gold would cost more then a normal size in marble.
About the size thing - I'm think along the line of not the actual "life" sizes, more like:
Standard - same size as the toon
Large - twice the size as the toon
The style of the statues could always recycle the emotes, anyone for a state of JW is panhandle pose? -
Without wising to get in to a love in - I think this is a fab suggestion. There must be so many events that people have screen shots of that would be good to share. I know I have some of SG and community events that would be nice to share.
Do you think the idea could be expanded, so that there are galleries through the zones where players can go to view screen shots or look a statues of past heroes?
