    I would love seeying that... I guess its the AE help as farmers never seem to use that one. It is a default channel.

    btw...
    I finally finished the updates on my arc and would love for you to do a trailer and preview!

    - Rise of the Blood Countess
    - Horror, Canon Storylines
    - #3805
  3. Mastermind alt pets skins for a booster like the steam punk...

    - Zombies > Vampires
    - Robots > Steampunk brass bots
    - Thugs > Gangsters
    - Demons > Edgar Allen Poe Other dimensional Horrors
    - Soldiers > Soldiers (Victorian skins)

    As animation and powers stays the same... this should be a possibility.
  4. I liked the movie.. but as old-school Marvel fan there are some stuff I just couldn't understand it made it in here...

    .
    .
    .
    .
    .

    - Charles Xavier was always bald. He never had any hair. It is part of his mutation
    - Emma Frost was always planned to be mid 30's. The past 5 years the comics had her lose about a year every year. A 26 year old would never have shown the maturity of the White Queen of the Hellfire Club or the Head Mistress in Generation X or the Hellions. Marvel made her younger to be more attractive to younger fans. The movie version here is more accurate to the original way the character was created.
    - Never could accept Emma her Diamond shape... mutation wise it is rubbish to have a physical mutation like that added to a mind powered mutant. It is like making a blaster with invulnerability.
    - I can accept changes in continuity for the movies... but the movies should hold their own continuity very well. And Emma was a young girl in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. :S

    Just a few of my personal pet-peeves. Aside of that I liked the movie a lot!
  5. Done also... hope it helps.

    Maybe having the final product shown or linked here so the devs can see it too might be helpfull to all.
  6. TEMPORARY POWER

    - Ghostbuster Electron Pack (+dam to ghosts)
  7. Well.. it was more work then I thought so not completely done yet :S
  8. A pixy is one of the Fae. Fae come in a lot of variations.

    The woodland sprite is a dryad. This is a nature spirit and can be plant/plant; plant/empath. Variations can be working if the plant it represent/connected too is special. I made one connected to the Artimisia Absinthium. Which is also her name. Absinth is a debuffer So I made her rad/rad corr.

    The fire sprite is usually called imp. A fire spirit like the ones the dominators summon. fire/fire; fire/kin

    The water sprite is a nyrad. A water spirit... enegry/energy is a good combo.

    The earth sprite is a gnome. An earth spirit that works well with Earth/kin or plant/earth. I have a gnome with earth/kin myself...

    Banshee... Some form of death spirit... I made one with Sonic/kin (named Shannon O'Banshee), but sonic/dark could work well too.

    The kinetic represents the speeding of time or slowing it down as the realm of Fae is on a different time then ours. Stories usually tell about visitors there who went away for second while it seemed ages and the other way around.

    The elf is taller... They who are doing the wild hunt. They can be best seen as Tolkien's elves. Archery/plant or Dual Blades in a combo works here.

    So many choices.. so many flavours. Pick one you like.

    Ha.. I had so much rage on it... I nerved my mobs several times now. Like mine some are ok at low repp. But can and will be very challenging at high repp. And it is something new to look at.

If you want, I could probably try and adapt my own variable key function binds that I use for Mastermind pet controls to something of the sort.
    That is not a solution... that is a work-around.... I have 9 bars full of macro's already. This should be a QoL feature.
  11. It happens that my arc actually has Victorian Age mobs at some point...

    And that Victorian age clothing are still closer to some older time periods then what I have used till now.

    Will check again when I get home.
  12. Ha! These look cool.... I will first update my arc with the new steam punk pack adds... and then I am very curious how you would do on a horror story

    But feel free to peek around... I will prob have the changes to teh mobs appearance done tomorrow.

    Nice to have a reason to update again...
  13. I have bought them.... I will go and check again this afternoon. But couldn't find the stuff. Might have just been tired
  14. Having a vampire that usually flies long distances in a bat shape and goes back to human form in normal mode I can understand.

    Also.. now were talking costume switches... every of my alts uses a specific change emote. But after logging in the emote selected under the costumes also resets to default. I would like that to be saved for the toon to the last one used on that toon.

    Yes.. we now have collars (neck options) under head details 2, shoulders and chest... It needs to be streamlined to one location.

    Half the Court are creatures like that. I think only the Court can handle you. Liz herself is one that likes to eat someone she doesnt like.

    That is why i figure were the only sg that would fit her.

    And then as her TRUE self:



    I still intend to swap to a sleeveless dress and use the Witch gloves when that becomes available, however.
    If you switch her to Union.. I have a place for you reserved in the Court of teh blood countess... '

    I didnt went for the magic cape with collar as its clipping with the sleeves too much for me.

    This is Elizabeth (Bathory Erzsebet) in her normal look and as vampire bat. Including bloody claws.

  18. I am still waiting for the Steam Pack and the Animal Pack to be added as options for NPC's in the Mission Architect!

    I need both in my arc below. Unlocks will be fine...
  19. Make it so!

    And why has Dr. Aeon not responded to this yet?! He is the one dev that is there to care about this... ANd a player and writer to boot! I want to see his opinion on this!

    I haven't done anything in AE for a long while, but recently went into it and realized that my AE mission, Attack of the Monsters of Legend (arc id #82060) will not work. Upon investigating, I see that a lot of the characters and mob groups are flagged with "ProfanityCopyrightDetected." Since there is no profanity anywhere in the missions, I assume this is due to copyright. The thing is, all of these characters - Abraham Van Helsing, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, Dracula, Larry Talbot, Frankenstein's Monster, The Wolfman, etc. - are in the public domain, and have been for something like 100 years!!

    I've sent a petition, but it really annoys me that some idiot decided that these characters were copyrighted. What a joke. I suspect I'll never gain any satisfaction via the petition, so decided to post it here.
    you are right.. but as usual they are afraid of lawsuits from Marvel etc...

    - Abraham Van Helsing
    The Dracula character is free to use.. but the movie 'Van Helsing' may have influenced this
    - Dr. Victor Frankenstein
    Monster of Frankenstein is a Marvel comic. Even though it was not copyrighted by them.
    - Dracula
    Tomb of Dracula is a Marvel comic. The name is not copyrighted.
    - Larry Talbot
    Colonel Talbot is a supporting cast of the Hulk comics.
    - Frankenstein's Monster
    See above...
    - The Wolfman
    Should be free... But maybe influenced by the latest Wolfman movie.

    They are obviously not looking at the originals but at the latest possible problematic uses.

    Ha.. that could mean the game might be gone before you ever manage to unlock it all!

    Stupid... sooo... stupid...
  22. Another thing I started to realise...

    It is Emph Merits! You can only get one Emph Merit every 20 hours...!

    So... to get 401 Emph Merits... would be 401 x 20 hours if you do nothing but think of playing... Don't expect to see any incarnate armor (full) very fast ingame.

    I say dump the prices from Emph Merits and make all prices in Astral Merits. That is the only way to make this even remotly possible.

    I could change my Victor to something else but my take on this issue is that we should only change our arcs if they truly violate copyright or they are profane.

    I am not sure if the answer is buried in this thread, but does anyone know if Victor is on the list of mistakenly flagged names or is all use of Victor deemed taboo?
    It explecity said that 'Victor' was not allowed and on the list in the error messega. That is why I changed my vampire bride 'Victoria' to 'Katherine'. It is farfetched to have a name like this in the filter. I am sure as hell not going to make a mob of Dr. Doom bots and calling them all 'Victor'! :S

    Rather than unpublish, they could mark all - ALL - arcs with a 'do not show in search' and send every author a message that asks them to go to AE, PLEASE make sure the arc is playing 'right', "maybe give it a once-over", and then click a button to make it visible in search again. Combine that with a "works in progress do not show in search" function and I think that's clear the search (which needs its own help too, yes) of a lot of dross, without annoying people previous authors who came back and wondered where the arc they spent HOURS on got to.

    And yes, switch to a "like"-only system of rating an arc. Showing previous player comments would be nice too.
    This! And add a function where the creator himself can flagg a arc as 'Farm'. Or make the hidden once still accessable if you know the ID. So you can hold your farm hidden while still able to play it.

    One big thing that would help instantly without too much hassle would be to use this 'hidden' tag to instantly hide all content in the AE that is flagged by the system as 'unplayable'. If your arc for whatever reason cannot be played it should not appear in any search!

    Proud owner of an arc started out in Beta and grieved down by farmers to 4 stars. Even though it has been reshaped and retouched for months. The amound of work is incredible and a 15 min created farm has a higher rating!

    And I SERIOUSLY do not like the long "dress" from the Vanguard back. It looks like two lengths of scarf and nothing at all like an actual dress. If it were at least closed at the back, I could deal with it, but I have no use for a "coat tail skirt."
    I tried the pleaded longest dress we have available. It is not bad actually. The width of it fits the Bustle perfectly. It is just at least a meter too short.
