    Welcome to the Wonderful World Of SMASH!! Enjoy your stay, because you won't be leaving!

    Congratulations!

    My question: Why are you so awesome?
  4. Kheldarn
    Congratulations on the promotions and new hires!

    Now the big question is: If Melissa “War Witch” Bianco is now the Lead Designer, what does that make Matt “Positron” Miller? Head Honcho? Big Badguy? Or did he maybe take over her job?

    If I had to guess, I'd say they had two tabs open, in widowed mode. The inactive tab had the Twitpage open, and set to auto-refresh, while the active tab was at the code input page for their account, with the cursor in the input box. As SOON as the code showed up, type away, and hit enter. BAM! Instant Code!

    Also: sixecks, izzat Pig in your sig?

    If I do call them, I do plan to keep it nice. Being mean and nasty will only have negative reprecussions on me.

    That's what I was thinking. Thanks for um... Plausible-ing that for me?

    I've seen many complaints, have we got any suggestions that directly address either of these points? Aside from the rather simplistic, "Tell us Nao!" that we all feel, I've heard little in the way of constructive feedback.

    Here are my two suggestions to address the issues above;

    1) Regular scheduled info releases about Going Rogue. Announce that a one per week, or one per fortnight post will be made on the forums and an email sent to those who have opted in to recieve them with progress reports / teaser info. Link to this info through the game updater.

    2) More advertising geared towards the mainstream market. Media could include cinema advertising before superhero movies, television ads (expensive, but it's all risk vs reward right?), or more advertising in the comic market, print ads in comic books, posters in comic stores / game stores.

    What other suggestions do people have?
    Personally, I don't give a rat's rear end about GR infos. I care about marketing the GAME itself. To me, the lack of GR info tells me that they're working as hard as they can to make it as good as they can. I still have faith in them thar Devs!

    Not that I'd say no to giving some kind of GR info. We "vets" all want to salivate over it, and the new guys need to learn about it, so that they can drool with us!

    Lack of advertising for the game means less new subscriptions, meaning less life for the game. It's been mentioned many times, in many threads, different ways that they need to start advertising this game. Magazine ads, television ads, movie theater ads, comic book ads, web ads, in-store ads, billboard ads, ads, ads, ads, ads, ads! Ads! Heck, I'm pretty sure that it Samuraiko has even mentioned that she's more than willing to do some REAL ads for the game, if they'd let her. (Either that, or my CRS kicked in, and I only think she said that... )

    It's a shame how many people don't know about this game. They're missing out on a damned good game that has the advantages of a damned good Dev Team, a damned good Community Relations (via the Forums) Team, AND a damned good forums community.

    I'm just about ready to call NCSoft and complain that the marketing department for City Of Heroes/Villains sucks...

    Until just before the Winter Event, Globals were keeping up with the Zoning. Then came the Winter Event, and SPLAT!! went Globals keeping up. *sigh*

    It's a real P.I.T.A.

    It's nice how most of these things take place when I'm at work. (Yes, I WOULD much rather be here, trying to figure out the screenshot or find the words, but I have those stupid bills to pay. I'm gonna be a bill collector when I grow up. Then I'LL have all the money! Hahahahahaha! )

    I don't understand why they don't just let us buy the costume codes. More income for them, and more happy for us.

    I had that happen to me when I was working on that accolade. I left my character in a CoT mission, farming the damage from two Guides, and went to bed. When I woke up, I checked the progress and saw I was almost done. I figured that by the time I got home from work, I'd have the badge.

    9 hours later, I'm home, and check the progress. It hadn't moved at all. And nothing I tried made it move.

    I logged the charcter out, and went back to them a few days later, and it started moving again. Makes me think they've added some kind of anti-AFK Farming code for the Damage Badges.

    Alternatly, go to the User CP, and in the sidebar on the left, under Settings & Options, click on Edit Options. Scroll to the end, and in the Miscellaneous Options section, set the Message Editor Interface to Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing and click the Save Changes button.

    Then, when you make a post, click the Insert Picture button: That will pop open a little box for you to enter the URL for the image. Enter it, click OK, and it will add your picture to the post.

    You won't be able to get any of the builds posted here to import into I16 Mids'. They're all from older versions, and the first two builds were broken in the forum change. The last one won't import correctly because the database in Mids' has been changed significantly.

    You'll have to rebuild them by looking at the post, and then following the power pick and slot placement order.

    I've rebuilt the last build:

    The 4th slot in Stamina isn't doing much due to ED. I stuck it in Health instead. No need for Endurance Reduction in Super Speed. With the way I have it slotted, Super Speed, Swift, and Sprint will cap you for Run Speed.
