Hehe...I know the feeling.

Ya, this spread the love thing seemed to hit quite a few people with RL stuff falling right on top of it...
I haven't seen Apro with an update on my character either, but no worries.
Thanks again for the comments!

Thanks for the comments and feedback. Looking forward to your color critique Swanny!
Just a quick reply to Wassy - your exactly right about all the art being centralized and a lot of dead space towards the edges. I admit I tend to do a lot of symmetric and centralized compositions. Wearing both a graphic design and illustrator hat I guess pushes me in that direction at times as I apparently subconsciously consider copy/text arrangement around the composition. This can also lead to some dead space around the edges, but quite honestly it is good practice to allow for some empty spacing along the edges for a variety of reasons. The mentioned type consideration, but more importantly you typically want to be able to lead the viewer's eye to a specific point in an artwork and if you apply the same amount of treatment/detail to all of the work, then it may cause conflict with the viewers. An example of this lends itself back to classic oil painting or current classics like Frank Frazetta who tend to diminish the detail of the artwork as it moves outward towards the edges - they allow the "eye" to fill in those spaces. But I digress...thanks again for pointing out the overly centralized composition - even though there was intention for this, I need to keep this in mind for future works.
Oh, and before I forget...VexXxa's name did get top billing as I was treating this somewhat like a comic book cover/poster piece. VexXxa got the virgin one with no title as well.

Hi all!
This is for my girl VexXxa. This as you may remember was for another thread, but it's been a while coming...so I thought it deserved its own thread after all. Hope you like it!
Here is my teaser to VexXxa's final colored image.

Would like to get feedback on this from the community here too! -

Seems like there's a lot of complaining over this dbl xp weekend. Wait, isn't there always? You can't keep everyone happy. My views on what i've seen posted here.
1. MA isn't giving dbl xp. For all you crying that this was done deliberate, why don't you stop and think for a minute. MA has gone through A LOT of updating recently. Maybe, just maybe, because of those updates, it changed something in there that made it hard to have the dbl xp going in it. The devs say it's a bug, I believe them. Why do I believe them, you ask? Because, they have CHANGED a lot of the issues that were taken advantage of during the last dbl xp weekend, so it's not like you were going to be able to take advantage of it this time anyway. So stop crying.
2. Servers: For those crying about the servers not going above green. Like some others have already said, the servers have been upgraded, so you won't see servers in the red anymore. Now I played quite a bit over this weekend, during all different hours of the day, and noticed on several occasions that both Freedom and Virtue were in the yellow. So don't know how you can say that none of the servers were ever in the yellow or hardly in the yellow.
3. This kind of goes along with the servers. Finding people to play with. The only time I had a real problem getting a team was Sunday morning. You know, when a lot of people go to church, etc. etc. I had no problems whatsoever getting teams at any other time during the weekend.
4. Problems with the game, ie: rubberbanding, lag, etc: Honestly, I didn't see any of these issues. My game ran perfectly the entire weekend, and none of my friends, or anyone else I teamed with complained of any problems. For those that did have problems, I might suggest you look to your own computer first as a possible solution, graphics cards up to date, etc. etc.
All in all, it was a completely enjoyable weekend for me. I teamed up with a lot of people,ran all kinds of different missions and tf's, leveled up a lot of my toons, and had a lot of fun. Thanks to the Devs for giving us the weekend, and especially extending it to monday.
Have a nice day all!
I posted 2 bugs/petitions over double XP weekend. They were as followed:
PROBLEM 1) AE not giving any double XP rewards.
>>>REPLY 1: GM Support - "This feature of the game is working as intended."
>>>REPLY 2: Positron (in-game global reply, not to me directly obviously) - "There appears to be a bug in the AE missions not rewarding double XP rewards..."
PROBLEM 2) Normal mission clears not rewarding Leader/Star holder double XP event rewards.
>>>REPLY 1: GM Support - "Thank you for submitting this to our attention. However, please do not use the bug/petition support feature for others on your team or friends."
...huh? lol
Obviously, the second problem made me really LOL. Not sure where the idea that I was sending in the second bug/petition for a friend or someone else came from. Simply speaking, the player (in my case me, but could be anyone and in fact was...but I wasn't submitting this for them) who was the team leader did not receive the x2 XP reward for mission completions (clears)...no x2 XP, no x2 Influence/Infamy, and no x2 Prestige.
The star holder did get the x2 XP reward for mobs during the mish, just not the completion bonus. I am assuming the code for the new super sidekicking may be conflicting in some way with the x2 XP code, but that is purely speculation.
I also experienced the game crashing event after leaving a mission and then heading to a WW/BM immediately after, but after the first two support posts I placed had such miserable replies, I didn't even bother with this one...
All in all, sort of fun and sort of frustrating game experience for this extended weekend event. I did hear from a lot of old globals from the reactivation, but the majority were not really happy with the super sidekick feature. There is room for a lot of improvement with all the added features the devs unloaded on the players with this issue - the bugs with this event just spotlight those issues even more. -

This weekend was also 2XP weekend... I'm sure they were all quite busy. During less busy times, GMs can usually get there a lot sooner.

Regardless, in terms of the original poster and bad costumer support - I for one do not believe you are alone.
Good luck and I too will keep my fingers crossed in hoping support will change for the better SOON! -
Coolio - thanks, I can tentatively make Saturday.
-
I can do any time as well, but would prefer Sunday. I noticed the date said Sat, 18th. I commented on the official event post if you meant Sat the 17th or Sunday the 18th? Thanks!
-
Saturday is the 17th...is this for Saturday the 17h or Sunday the 18th? Thanks!

OMG! -rep for being snarky!
I thought this was pretty funny too coming from the guy that posted his own thread about who hates him. Sorta the pot calling the kettle black, isn't it? Could be worse st0n3y, you could have haters that don't even leave feedback related to your post or threads at all...my faves I have gotten for random neg rep jabs are "meow?" and "." ...yes, just a period - now that is quality trolling!
Looking forward to Thursday. -
Had a good run with the LG group...and got the Willy contact - thanks LG!
-
Sounds like fun - count me in!
-
Which part?

Since I know VexXxa is a Vin Diesel fan...I couldn't help but post this one
CLICK HERE for some oldschool Vin Diesel dance action! -
Thanks for the fun last night! VexXxa...get off the floor Looking forward to next week - see you all then.
-
Thanks again for the fun last night - was glad we could get the couple new guys onboard there at the last minute. Getting a VG set-up will really make this all work even that much more smoothly - thanks for setting up the channel VexXxa! Look forward to seeing you all next week.
-
Hey guys, two new people coming tonight - broadsword/elec stalker (@enforcer papi) and a spines/elec stalker (@knightquill). They are on their way now.
-
WOOT...FRIDAY! OK, now this is a pretty funny match-up...Saturday Night Fever vs. NIN. (FYI for those that watch this, but can't listen to it while at work...it won't make sense if you can't crank it up lol )
CLICK ME! -
Quote:Exactly Tiny, there're currently pretty low zone numbers now (like zero)...so why not put on a good showing to entice new players to try the zones. It's where most of us old-timers started, and quite honestly if people get comfortable with zone play they will more then likely give arena a try (since there is a perception that arena may be of a slightly higher skill level and could be intimidating for new players). Just a suggestion.Originally Posted by Tiny Bolt
So they couldn't just go to the zones the rest of the time, when they're almost always completely deserted?
And thanks for the response Isis. I too don't personally need rewards either at this point in my game...but again, to draw new players it may create interest. Thanks again! -
I like to kickballs...would be nice to see some 2v2 or 3v3 too though.
On a side note, it seems a good percentage of the old-school PvP Infinity crowd is currently going through another wave of drifting to other servers. Any chance you can spice up the event with some recipes/enhancements for our event like Fight Nights on other servers Isis?
Also, arena events I agree are fun, but new players typically hit the zones first...it may be worth trying to make events happen in the zone so new players don't feel they are completely empty all the time. I know, I know...may step on badgers toes, but when the zones seem active, it's a great way to advertise to them there to check out the thursday night post here and check out arena PvP. Anyways, I hope to be there thursday! -
Not to fuel the Foo... But, I never knew what Natalie looked like lol. So thanks Foo! And I still like the Safety Dance...ah, memories of an '80s child.
