I hope they take it seriously to provide an equivalent or better readability than the current UBB forums. It's essential for a large community to have a pleasant and not painful to read forum.

All examples provided as links here are painful to read... dungeonrunners is awful and guildangels is making my eyes bleed.

Decent color schemes and fonts please !!

Lighthouse,

Will there be any change to automatic forum titles? Will they be removed? What about personal titles that have broken the automatic progression?

Will post count still be tracked or will it be removed?

[/ QUOTE ]

Everything will remain the same including titles, progression, and post counts.

That is, unless they purposely decide to change it (which they could have done any time while using UBB). But, barring a decision to change policy, the goal is to have the new software pick up exactly where the old left off. That's what all the conversion scripts are programmed to do.

[/ QUOTE ]

That was my assumption, although to be honest, I wouldn't mind them taking this opportunity to nuke post counts.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not nuke, but it's an easy setting to just disable the view of them for anyone but admins if wanted. vBulletin has some snazzy features.

Hola Bruce! You need a redname. Srsly. And no, we won't warp you. I'd offer up your coworkers as proof but I don't think that's a good metric although, in our defense, they were warped before we got them.

Onward! If you can answer, is there any possiblity of branching stories, where a different mission depending on the outcome of the previous mission is offered next?

Thanks.

Which one? I'm thinking there'll be several choices...

I don't have much to add for suggestions, but I do want to wish Samuraiko/Dark_Respite the best of luck for this. Also, I think I'll be making similar t-shirts for the little knights here. Tell Sister Flame she's inspired four boys to sport similarly inspired wear.

Just kinda confused me that it was being announced now.

[/ QUOTE ]

It was a note for those who may not be aware of RSS. For you savvy RSS users, move along, nothing to see here

[/ QUOTE ]

Savvy...? Me... uhm... ooook. Sure. Yeah, we'll go with that.

Also, timey wimey or flushy circle thing?

I don't remember now where I found the feed thingy from, it's been awhile. Just kinda confused me that it was being announced now. Y'know, like... uhm, what? So, yeah. As long as it's not just me and it's not just some weird time loop, mental breakdown, Stargate thingy, plot device then I'm good.

<QR>

Wait, I don't want to sound like I'm looking the proverbial gift horse yada yada and all that, but I've had the Dev Digest and Community Digest on my home page as RSS feeds for... ugh... months now... maybe a year. I don't have to check that section of the forums anymore, it's on my homepage when I open my browser.

I'm sorry, but is this new?

Figures I'll be away on vacation for this one. Just like the last one! GRRRR!

I wish they'd call me and see when I was taking my vacation so they could plan it so that I can make it.

[/ QUOTE ]

They've got them listed on the calendar wallpapers here, if you're serious about it, I think the next one is in January.

Do y'all have some blocker or something going on? It played fine for me. And I'm using Vista.

For most users, we know that when we Alt-Tab (or minimize one program and then maximize another) there's always a chance for a fatal crash in the CoH client.


[/ QUOTE ]

Most?

Not my experience at all. Out of the group of people I regularly play with, and the various other friends and PUGs I've run with, the only ones crashing due to alt-tabbing are a) Mac users running CoH and Vent on their XP partition and b) Vista users. Those 2 groups don't seem to qualify as most.

That's not to say the game itself doesn't lock up/crash on occasion (more frequently recently it seems), but that seems to happen regardless of alt-tabbing or not.

[/ QUOTE ]

ATI users too.

If i was to be forced to join a voice channel to play a game then that means that you would have to listen to my french all the time.

As a point of clarification not included in the press release specific for City of Heroes and City of Villains, this new voice chat technology will be used through the PlayNC Launcher and not directly through City of Heroes.

[/ QUOTE ]

Through the launcher? Interesting...

Hrm. Maybe we're the prudes of the internet radio world?

Slightly more on topic, RUN POSI AND CASTLE! There are no words to describe the insanity. None.

Some of the hotels have wifi.

*hides*

So, if 15 people can still kick out issues and they're hiring more now, we should get kick <bleep> issues, right?

*whipcrack*

Back to work!

That reminds me. She wants to go Frostfire... again. She likes the slides. You think doing a 3+ hour taskforce is rough? Trying sliding on the ice slides for 1/2 hour to entertain a six year old.

I am 16 (17 on the 11th, wewt) And I still spend some quality time on the slides...

Pssh, I'm 37 and I put two characters in there, set them both to follow each other and giggled madly as they slingshotted all over the place.

I believe the Greek stuff is the laurel, shoes, toga, etc. Of course, if you don't have all those items, then they won't all show up for you. If you don't have any (like say stuff from the optional wedding pack) then the wedding options won't show up in the list to choose from.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks for the clarification.

What's in the "Greek" costume set? I thought some of that stuff could only be unlocked via the Valentine's Day event or has that now changed?

[/ QUOTE ]

New set.

[/ QUOTE ]That's Roman...

Which is not really like Greek.

It's like comparing Apples and Oranges.

They're both fundamentally the same but is completely different.

[/ QUOTE ]

Brainfart. I thought it said Greek in there too.

You may shoot me now.

Unless there is a new Greek set too, in which case, not a brainfart.

Wow...

I know many people have already weighed in, but seriously.

When I heard about this change, I freakin flipped my lid I was so happy. I'm very serious, jumping for joy and all.

I had visions of my Giant Mace/Elec Armor tank running through my head, as well as the myriad other creations I would be able to come up with and enjoy.

This list has done nothing but make me pretty upset. Some of the swaps are great, and needed to happen(Plant Control for Controllers as an example), but really I wanted to see so much more than this.

I love the dev.s, I really do. But I think this is a fumble. Let's see some more spreading of the powers. C'mon!

More to come. This is just the beginning.
