so, my question is, are you calling for complete removal, or one-time use?

[/ QUOTE ]

What's wrong with merely reducing their effectiveness to make sure players don't abuse them/need them as much? Don't take things as black and white.

[ QUOTE ]
A group of Smart players with the "worst" powersets from each AT should be able to complete the LRSF. If they can't do it without the use of shivans, nukes, rads, kins and a stone tank, then the entire event's design is broken.

Quoted for the [censored] Truth.

i really dont think they should mess with Veng stacking if a team works together to get it off but i am all for nerfing the "loading into a match with 7 stacked"

[/ QUOTE ]

Alas, there's the coding prob. You really can't have one without the other. For the devs it'd be far simpler to fix stacking outright.

I haven't heard of it being stacked like that for PvP though... VERY damned sad, I thought you'd only need 1 veng to turn the tide.

[ QUOTE ]
Get rid of the "I Win" buttons of Shivans and Warburg bombs and then you don't have to design missions with their use in mind.

[/ QUOTE ]

And the notion that they designed the RSF with either or both in mind is an assumption. Perhaps an obvious one, but one we've never seen validated.

And the fact that people do complete it without them reinforce the notion that they might not have considered them a critical component.

[/ QUOTE ]

Then try to complete it with no rads, stoners, vengeance, shivvies, or nukes. Oh, and have at least 1 dom and 1 stalker on the team. None of this "Oh, but these guys did it" cards people throw, I wanna hear of YOU doing it, with builds.

Call me when you're done.

Curse you Recluse! You deserve your evil game handle... throwing something like that to the masses.

[/ QUOTE ]

See, THAT surprises me. David Cook was the original owner of that handle, and for someone like Mr. Copur to finally fill the role fills me with great glee.

I hold great hope for our new spidery overlord. :3

Anyone know if any of the developers or community managers played MMORPGs before City of Heroes/Villains? Like maybe some of them played Everquest or Ultima Online back in the day.

[/ QUOTE ]

I started with MUDs like Island of Kesmai, Legends and Gemstone II.
Ultima Online
EverQuest (up through LDoN; primarily a R()gue)
Anarchy Online (Up through Shadowlands) [I *love* a lot of things from this game -- the Enforcer is perhaps my favorite 'Tank' class from any MMO!]
Asherons Call I and II
DAoC (Backstab with a two handed sword? You betcha!)
Star Wars Galaxies
World of Warcraft
Guild Wars

Dabbled in, but did not play much of:
Toontown
FF XI
Shadowbane
Auto Assault
Vanguard (Beta; I might still pick this up if I can find time to really devote to it.)

There are probably one or two others I can't recall off the top of my head.

[ QUOTE ]
Thats pretty cool. I wonder if I ever played with any of you guys in Everquest or Ultima Online. It feels like such a small world

[/ QUOTE ]
There was a PK on Lake Superior named Ultimus than I ganked a few times. I think I even broke into his castle and looted it at one point...That was during the days when Cookie Monster was the top of the Bounty list, before he let one of his friends kill him ,turn in his head for a couple hundred grand and then split the bounty with him. Man, that made me mad!

[/ QUOTE ]

Castle, would you mind me asking what server you were on in FFXI? Very doubtful I would be on the same as you, but I met you on Hades somewhere, I would flip. D:

Who was it that revived this abomination? You, Zeppline?


You must be purged.

Could you at least keep your stuff in one thread rather than cluttering up the forum?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think it's something that this person cannot comprehend.

You done bumping your own thread?

Sort of... you know... illegal.

I happen to be a catgirl who USED to be a guy, but some rabid catgirl on Guardian bit me and spread the Kitty Virus, thus throwing my DNA into chaos and creating my 2nd form. >_>;;

That movie's still awesome, though. XD

Heh. I'll admit though, I was feeling very... bitter when I wrote this stuff. >_>;;

Still, haven't wrote anything in AGES. Maybe I should get back on it or something.

Yes... but is the work any good? >_>;;

While it may not be stuff like drawings, I DID used to write at one point. May not be the stories and crap, but I've gotten some comments, and have been wondering if I should start up again:

Few out of Many

Darkened Souls

Yeah, I know. The titles sound corny. >_>;;

Basically, I like trying to get a background on my wording, but since I... you know... SUCK at drawing and stuff, I'm left completely dependent on others for a visual look.

So, how does it look?

[ QUOTE ]
I'm sure plenty would throw a fit, but I'd like to see TP Foe has some risk to it in PvP. Say if it hits you TP the foe, if it misses you are TPed to the foe. Melee classes may like the results either way though.

[/ QUOTE ]

Heh. There have been occassions where I try TP Foeing some people to me, and they try it at the same time.

We end up switching places and more often than none, he goes up like a Roman Candle. XD

I just want to be able to have Arachnos Personnel sitting around my base. D:

Hm... yeah, I definitely see your point. Didn't think of that. XD

The bio is currently changed. I hope this works out a lot better. Critiques on costumes to fit the bio better would be nice.

Heard this was the best place to post this.

In any case, I need help with my character biography in terms of accuracy and originality.

Here is the current info and pictures:

Character Bio

Picture No. 1 <-- Original Shot
Picture No. 2 <-- Action Shot
Picture No. 3 <-- Alternate Costume
Picture No. 4 <-- Another Alternate Costume


I'm essentially going for a character that is aligned with Arachnos, but yet is NOT one of those "I'm gonna kill Recluse and take over!" characters, or worse, one of the "I'm Recluse's Right Hand!" wannabies. >_>;;

Any and all suggestions/critiques are welcome.

THANK YOU. This guide will be VERY useful.

Siren's Call villain hospitals are no longer open air,

[/ QUOTE ]

Does not stop heroes on Guardian. They Drop onto the cargo crates just outside the Villain Hospital. They wipe out the spiders there and set up camp. They then set one of their number right outside the door of the Hospital. A couple lvl 40+ ice tanks can be awfully hard to dig out.

[/ QUOTE ]

Warburg is worse. PLENTY of open air, little to no defense whatsoever. We have 10+ Heroes firmly entrenched in the Villain Base, and we could barely leave the hospital without being TP Foe'd and 1-shotted.

Ironically enough, none of our Villain NPCs felt like getting up to kill any of them.
