Changes made to "A Show of Hands":
* Thinned out the spawns in mission 4, damn tech lab spawn-stacking issue.
* Fixed some mixed up ambush triggers, not sure which patch broke those.
* Retitled arc "The St. Martial Shuffle". I never did really like the previous title anyways.

I was going through the Villain 1-10 section on my new Stalker and noticed an was arc missing: "Unfair Trade" (ID 373846, L5-10). I know you've played it before, PW.

Actually the badge seems very ironic. The apartments were once heavily sought after, and now no one in their right mind goes near it.

Changes made to "MacGuffin Delivery Service":
* Redid all mission intros, send offs, and debriefings to be in the 1st-person. It flows a bit better that way. Clues are still in 3rd-person.
* Retitled the arc "The Curse of the Emerald Parakeet" as an experiment to see if the new title helps it get more plays. The original title may have sounded too much like an in-joke to most people. -
Quote:That's the only pack I have bought. None of the costume pieces are gender-locked (I'm looking at you, Magic Booster with your awesome male-only jackets) and the ability to fix character heights after all this time was very welcome.Originally Posted by Mr. DJ
I've bought all of the SBP except the Science one, I'd say that's my least favorite as it had nothing I really wanted.
Yes PLEASE. I want an option other than wings and rocket boots. And there better be options for Sky Raider, Goldbricker, Longbow, and Wyvernn jetpack styles.Quote:Originally Posted by Lord_Nightblade
Will there be jet packs?
The wolf tail being rolled into that pack instead of being given to everyone pisses me off. I don't like anything else in that pack and am not going to spend $10 on a single costume part. I can live without making wolf characters.Quote:Originally Posted by Dr_Mechano
I imagine that stems from the whole palava with the Mutant pack, people expecting animal parts (well we got one, the wolf tail, which is the entire reason I bought the pack) and instead got a rather different, but not less correct, intepretation of mutant? -
Quote:A heavy-worlder should be shorter than a person from a 1G planet. Under stronger gravity being tall would place extra stress on the body, not just the skeleton but pulmonary system as well (extra distance from heart to lower extremities means extra stress on the heart, greater blood pressure, etc..)Originally Posted by KayJMM
Hi Samuel!
Well... first thing I would considerate is: She is stronger... but why people on that planet evolved to be stronger?
If they are that way because of too many extremes of the planet Biome, I would try making her as strong (and big) as I could get, maxing every slide.
But one concept that I would also consider is "density"... I think (with no science basis whatsoever, just pseudo-considerations) I would make her a little (some 30%) SMALLER than an average person, but at the same time maxing all the other sliders (except legs, as it would actually make her bigger, and that isnt the idea) to the max. I would think on a very tough woman, shaped by her world to be really hard. She would be brutish, but not hulking brutish...
The only example I've seen of a tall heavy-worlder is Buck Godot and he's almost as wide as he is tall just to have the skeleton and muscle to support it all. -
Quote:A lot of us bought the extra 5 slots a long time ago, and have long since filled them all up. Without the extra slot from a HoF or DC you won't be seeing any more stories from us unless we can decide which of our children is our least favorite and deserves to be drowned.Originally Posted by Rigel_Kent
Finally, has anyone given any thought to paid arc slots being a possible disincentive for devs to expand HOF availability? If HOF stays unattainable, what are you going to do about it? Buy arc slots, but click angrily while doing so?

What's even more annoying is when the leader informs the team "Everyone fights in this TF!" but then you all enter the first mission and are right away told to stand at the door while someone stealths the map. Yeah, we're all doing so much fighting...
It's even worse than the old days when the team isn't allowed to do anything, not even the scrappers, because the Tank has to go and herd up the every spawn in the entire room, and do that for EVERY room. -
Quote:Every enemy you don't kill is one less chance at a purple drop.Originally Posted by Wicked_Wendy
Speed runs serve the purposes of those that do them but I tend to avoid them simply because I always wonder what I may have missed getting that would add to my wealth or what recipe MIGHT have dropped that would make me tougher because we skipped so much to get done FAST.
Speed runs really annoyed me back in the days of the random recipe at the end instead of merits. I had such horrible luck with that drop that I knew I would reliably make much more inf steamrolling the TF instead of hoping for some lucky drop at the end. -
I'm more annoyed by the unadvertised Speed Runs, the TFs where the leader just assumes that everyone speeds TFs no matter what and then acts surprised when the team is trying to steamroll the first mission while he's running off to TP people to the end. Then he gets even more surprised that the sub-50's he invited actually want the XP that he's trying to make them skip and quit out of frustration.
Quote:Yep, been there. Even better when the two guys are obviously on teamspeak the entire time and never communicate with the rest of them team.Originally Posted by Cyberknight
Had a very similar experience on LGTF the other week, i was on a lvl 50 troller slotted with mid expense IO sets to get perma hasten and got an invite so i went along.
The tank was continually cursing at people and was annoyed when the hostage did not die on the 1st mission and he faceplanted with the clock king.
The 2 starter members obviously had a plan yet did not bother to tell anyone else, just moaned a lot if thing did not go to their plan,then after the 1 st mission completes they decide to restart for some reason?.
I left leaving their granite tank on go -slow mode

Personally I think that the interface should have been designed so that an arc that is flagged "Work in Progress" shouldn't be able to gain ratings during that time. A WiP is not ready for public consumption and it's a rather dick move for someone to play an obviously unfinished arc and then nail it with a poor rating because it's unfinished.

Quote:Edison never invented jack, he was just really good at screwing his employees out of the credit that they deserved. That's how the whole rivalry between him and Tesla began, when Edison patented his ideas as his own and caused Tesla to quit. Unfortunately Tesla was not as good of a businessman as he was scientist.Originally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
You realize that the whole electrocution thing was AC vs. DC, not free vs. profit, right? And on top of that, Edison killed animals (and paid a guy to invent the electric chair) because Tesla was working with Westinghouse to commercialize AC power, which would usurp Edison's existing DC power distribution.
Repeat: Tesla wanted to sell AC power. Topsy the elephant was killed with AC to discourage the use of AC, not to promote paying for it. You claim doesn't even make sense.

Quote:And many of which have been "in progress" for a year or so.Originally Posted by Eva Destruction
Well, yeah, that's what it's for. That's 57,000 arcs in progress though...
53,320 have been "in progress" for 2 months or more.
47,320 of which have been "in progress" for over 6 months.
30,100 of which have been "in progress" for over 1 year.
Out of that 57,000 there are 18,166 which are "Work in Progress" and 0-stars. -
What I find more interesting is the 20,440 0-star arcs. That's a LOT of arcs that nobody has ever played and quite a number of them are several months old.
And yes, a large percentage of them are very obvious farms.
Trivia fact: 1,824 arcs with the word "farm" right in their title or description. -
Quote:I never got why anyone makes such a big deal about Arcana either. Sure she has a head for numbers, but often totally misses the human factor in things.Originally Posted by Tokyo
Dumple, if the Devs followed Arcana's suggestions we wouldn't have a merged market...The Devs make the end decisions. Arcana is one of many that have contributed to the game. Nothing more nothing less.

Quote:And a lot of dead, abandoned arcs from between issues 14 and 15. Issue 15 was when that flag was added, so a lot of arcs have it by default. That "Work in Progress" list includes 1 DC and 3 HoF arcs even.Originally Posted by Eva Destruction
57,040 "Works in Progress." That's a lot of people publishing stuff that isn't ready for public consumption...

Quote:I've seen 3 codes now there the first 3 sequences were the same. It might slow down now as I've finally seen one that had a totally new sequence.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
You are using codes that are fairly similar to each other. Maybe you need to rethink how these contests work in the future, because most of us can't even download the image before it is claimed.
But yeah, they need to randomize this stuff a LOT more.
