I have, in my 3+ years of playing this game, never seen a GM. Nor have i talked to one in game. For me, they are a myth, a story that others tell to get themselves through the long hard bugged missions. A mere legend of promised help and omnipotence. But, I had never had a purple drop before a month ago when i had 2 in one night, so they're all a bit like buses i imagine...

Jlove's posts just get more and more mental. Good times.

I really want archery for corruptors. I must be weird!

They're still the first ads for the European servers .

[/ QUOTE ]
Fixed.

If you want to be pedantic... . UK is part of Europe, and that only a subset of players can see them doesn't change the fact of these being the first real in-game ads on the EU servers. Of course, it's all a matter of subjective opinion really.

[/ QUOTE ]
But why say it is the first for EU if the rest of EU is not getting it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because they are still the first in game ads in the EU maybe?

Sorry guys I'm unable to make this week due to RL issues. Jay or something feel free to lead this week's event without me, I'll catch up for next week.

See you all soon.

I wasnt.

Shouldn't this be in the "Fake Complaints" thread?

Can't believe it's genuine to be honest.

I was wondering the same thing!

Seriously devs, wth must you ALWAYS change powers cos of [censored] pvPers? Just cos spike damage is kind in pvP and its all "lolmelee" what do you do? Nerf focus. Seriously guys, gg. The one scrapper set that had any chance in pvP and you have to nerf it back to the stone ages. ED was bad enough at making claws scrappers gimp but now this?? Claws haven't had any love, now you take the best power in the set and take 15% of the dmg off!!!

And what's rubbish is this is obviously a nerf cos of pvP but its hurting us PvErs, too many changes to PvE cos of pvP!!! Seriously there's no point in playing claws anymore, it's dps is gonna be gimp, you might as well roll a loldarkmelee.

I've been paying to play this game for 3 years now, and I'm seriously considering quotting now. So if you really want to lose moeny NCNC, let this change hit live. Come on pohsyb, sort it out!!!.

After much perusal of the US boards over the past few months, I couldn't help but notice vast outpourings of rage/complaints/varied vitriol with regards to varies game features, most recently the EM "nurf". Most of these complaints are threatening, badly written and logically flawed, but also really rather amusing! So I thought it would be fun to a have a thread of fake complaints that you would like to make to the devs/mods/whomever.

So if you think Fulcrum Shift is underpowered and deserves a buff, put forward your case here! Think Energy Aura is a vastly overpowered set ruining PvP? Lets see the evidence!

Points* for: Proof (incl. screenshots or bad logic). Providing a decent argument for desiring ridiculous nerfs/buffs. Impenetrable walls of text rants, complete with misspellings. References to "dupin rares" and/or "GONE TO TEH AMERICANS!!". Responses to complaints which are even more ridiculous than those complaints. Calling out the wrong Dev. Maintaining all changes to powersets you play are personal attacks. etc etc.

Keep it in the spirit of the thread if you can guys (i.e. fake!) and have fun!

Now go, complain that Granite armour doesnt offer enough defense.

*Points, in this situation, do not mean prizes. In fact, points will not be collected/collated/or even counted. Bad luck.

Just a quick question, is it considered rude to watch roleplayers (at a discrete distance so as not to interfere)? I find it a bit like very cheap theatre.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've often wondered that, as I've sat, or stood and watched the GG RP'ers from a building across from the statue...

I often think to myself too.. I wouldn't mind giving that a try, but i can't get into character as well as the existing RP'ers do.

Being mostly a non RP'er myself, i occasionally find it annoying when someone buffs me in atlas when im just standing there chatting, as from the conversation they know im not ready to 'fight anything'. However having said that, im also guilty of moving quite close to characters to check out their , normally superb, costumes.

This is indeed what i do, hence why i asked the question. I hope i'm not offending anyone by listening in though!

On a similar topic, there's a move in the dual blades set (i think it's ablating strike) where the final body position before they return to the normal ready stance twists the stomach in very painful looking way!

The way to PUG is:

1. Start the PUG
2. Send informative tells to heroes in the appropriate lvl range that has capitalized the first letter in their name and dont have any numbers in the name.
3. Invite those that reply back for invites
4. Run story arcs
4b Recruit extra when needed
5. Success

Bit harsh on robot character that ¬_¬

Or my poor fire/cold corruptor Fahrenheit 212
Numbers aren't always a signifier of ineptitude! (I agree with capitalisation though, how difficult is it to hit the shift key??)

It's worth noting that after level 35 or so, most of you influence or infamy gain will come not from defeating mobs but selling the things that drop, so you can still make a fair bit of money whilst staying permanently in sg mode.

In fact, as a test prior to the changes to the prestige/influence split, an sg colleague of mine levelled from 1-50 entirely in sg mode to see whether he would run out of money. But it was all fine, he had plenty of cash without playing the market (by this i mean he didnt spend time flipping etc. but did sell his salvage/recipes of course) even at 35+ when he was earning no inf from defeating foes.

I'll be there like shareware. 8pm as usual. Cap SF this time?

Gonna stop reading this thread as it feels like I'm sober and talking to a drunk girlfriend. And by that I mean the conversation is repeating itself and going round in circles...

Well, I am Jaw Dropping...

I thinks its fairly certain that haven't revealed the full extent of the new features of i13 yet, so I will be refraining from determining its size till i see what's on offer!

Cheers for the prompt responses guys.

So needing 52% from set bonuses then? Doable, certainly doable. I assume you mustn't have much downtime on hasten either?

Hello just a quick question for a number cruncher to help me. How much +recharge bonus do i need to get accelerate metabolism permanent assuming i have 3 recharge slotted in AM and hasten? I had a brief scout about on mids and it seems like it shouldn't take much, but i'm too thick to work out exactly how much recharge set bonuses i need to perma it.

Thanks guys/gals.

This, along with several posts above i think highlight that the current rules of conduct may be inadequate (specifically points 1-4 of the rules of conduct). As they are, the rules do not seem to be able to provide adequate protection for players whilst maintaining the freedoms of players and being enforceable within the confines of the game itself. If i were being cynical, I might suggest that the only one of those three that are currently able to be achieved is the second, that of freedom. Can anyone think of ideas for a revised set of rules that would adequately balance all three? I am struggling to do so at the moment...

I think it is sufficiently on topic for it seems that the OP did not receive any help either because the thief had not broken the rules of conduct or because the rules are unenforceable. This is therefore the natural progression of discussion. However if a mod disagrees I am of course happy to start a thread else where to discuss

1. While playing City of Heroes , you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players.

<snip>

Taking a look at those, we can immediately see that @SneakyThief has already broken rule 1 straight away, so one has to ask; why DON'T NC take action against salvage thieves? It's a clear breach of the rules, after all...

[/ QUOTE ]

It seems that if the thief is culpable, he would have fallen foul of the "defrauding" statement. But I'm not sure its as clear a breach as you may argue. Whilst certainly it seems (from the evidence provided by the OP) that he was deceived by the "thief" for the accused's personal gain, I'm not sure the deception was material to the removal of the salvage. It would need to be clearly shown that the OP would not have given access to the salvage without deception undertaken by the accused. If it can be shown that the "thief" received such SG priviledges due to deception, then it might be classed as fraud. Note: I am not a lawyer so this is all only in my understanding etc etc caveat caveat

(c) be enforceable by the GMs?

Discuss

[/ QUOTE ]

altho a change in the code of conduct would make it easyer for the suport team to hand out punishment or atleast help out in this situation it wouldnt make the problem go away what is realy needed is a complete overhawl of the permision system itself either by a bin by biun basis so that you set who canacess storage bins at what rank and if needs be lock one or two so only top ranks get them or by type of bin insp bins have one setting salvage another and enhancements something different again both these systems would give leaders greater control over access and greatly limit the chances for theifs to actuly do damage in the first place

[/ QUOTE ]

You are right, and this is in part why i mentioned point (c) above. We must remember that the game devs are those in charge of the base systems whereas the GMs are in charge of customer support, conduct etc. Whilst we have been receiving hints that bases will be getting love in the future, this may well be several months away. On the other hand, a revision of the code of conduct may well provide increased protection relatively sooner.
