Methinks MrDestiny does not know what "QOL" means. I'd really like to be able to double-click characters, too. When I was a newbie, I kept double-clicking and thinking it was broken because I didn't even notice the button on the lower-right.

[/ QUOTE ]

What does "Quality of Life" (yay for google), have to do with adding double clicking to the interface? Are you truly going to sit there and say that your "QOL" is diminished because of the lack of a single feature that is indirectly connected to actual play?

Just seems like a lack of resources that could be better spent elsewhere. I mean we are all just sharing our two cents here, but lets be realistic. I could see if this was a wish list item, but it is posted in the "Suggestion" forum and seems a bit superfluous as a legitimate suggestion.

[/ QUOTE ]

QOL features that have been implemented (just a few, off the top of my head) -

- Selecting zones at the train, instead of having to go from station to station.
- Combining inspirations
- Renaming builds. (You could conceivably put dual builds *themselves* in this category. They weren't needed, and still aren't, for 13 issues after all.)
- Adding book icons to story arcs.
- Dropping missions.
- Reordering characters on the character select screen
- Removing the 60 day timeout in the market

None of these were *big* features, none were bug or exploit fixes or otherwise fixing imbalances. Purely QOL, done to make things a little easier or nicer for the player. Should they not have been done? Were they a waste of developer time?

[ QUOTE ]
I'd actually been thinking of the option for your comment to be anonymous as I was browsing other sections of the forum. I think it's a brilliant idea.

A friend of mine expressed concern over players who will rate your arc low as "revenge" because you rated theirs low and they didn't take your comment as constructive criticism, even if it was. I think anonymous commenting will amend that.

[/ QUOTE ]

On the flip side, I've gotten into discussions with story arc authors (and players) about the criticism - and praise, yes. If I'm on, I'll tend to at *least* say think you, even if they didn't like my arcs. I couldn't do that with an anonymous comment. (That ignores any possible technical issues, as well.)

Personally, I'm interested in "one extreme or the other" - nothing but thumbs up/down, or a multi-category rating system.

[ QUOTE ]
Wouldnt be much point to being a Void, but I get your point. As I dont PvP with my Khelds or SoA's or anything, I generally ignore it. Like I said, I see your point. But I'll let it die here. I was actually more along the lines of Suggestion-Question about whether they had been Suggested. Seemed like almost a natural.

[/ QUOTE ]

They had, actually, but very rarely - as in, the last time I saw anything remotely similar was before the last forum purge.

(And yeah, I tend to have a vested interest in all things Kheld-story related. >.>

[ QUOTE ]

Of course, I would rather have had Nictus for Villains too, and not some Kheld revamp because I dont see Nictus as just Khelds with a mean streak, I see them as different and not taking the 'forms' of their slave races. Just my opwn take of course.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nictus = Warshade without anything holding them back. The reason we got SoAs, according to the answer I got, is that they wanted something "more tied to the villainside story."

Eh.

Given what we see from villainside Nictus, even pre-Romulus, I'd almost worry about being on their side as much as fighting against them. And yeah, I really wanted to see the "other side" of the Kheldian War stuff, quite frankly.

[ QUOTE ]
Special against Khelds, yeah.

[/ QUOTE ]

... absolutely not, unless it's limited to PVE mobs.

Eh...

The Void Hunters are so focused (and have so few "tricks up their sleeve," as it were,) that... "eh" pretty well sums it up for me.

I think it'd have to have a *real* knockout of both backstory and character progression to sell it. And given the "story" we got with VEATs (IE, almost none, and what we did get being so pathetic they're not worth running) I've lost a bit of faith in finding "epic" storylines to go with an EAT.

No.

This is one of those that, frankly, shouldn't have to be explained. Just... no.

Well, *all* my characters I have shots of are here. At least for the most part. (As a "If you need to browse and see something interesting" linking.)

Erin Snow - who is later Caitlyn Haruspica, then finally Caitlyn Snow is the character I wrote this bit about. Think that counts as a bio/backstory .

[ QUOTE ]
Well I really feel like you guys are just posting negative stuff on here to be griefers...lets not become hippocrits shall we. There are already weapons with inuendo in the game. what about "My sword is bigger than your sword" or "be careful with that outfit, you might make my gun go off". Don't try to give me the red-herring and make this powerset debate about something else.

[/ QUOTE ]

Serious comments posted earlier.

That /hadtosayit = kidding around/being a smartalec/not an actual concern.

My only concern is echoed above - market performance (server or interface, wherever the holdup would be.) Other than that, why not.

Do you *really* want to set up a powerset where people can argue the length of their staff?

/hadtosayit.

That... would be interesting.

Y'know, there are a few people who, if they said this, I'd take them seriously. Reiraku, for instance. Even PVPPHM - while I don't particularly like him personally, I do believe he has the knowledge and skill to do so, and that I'd learn something fighting him..

Things like this from you, on the other hand, are like barks from a 3 week old puppy. I just don't feel the threat.

Salvage price is fine. Its recipes that need work. And if one Lotg is on the market. Which right now theres more. But back when you would only see a couple at best. And there like 100mill. Then that is a monopoly on market.B/c they can set to what ever price they want

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you ever think that something that permanently increases your Recharge by 7.4% might be WORTH 100mil?

And guess what? Your wish has been answered! Dring I12, or 13, they introduced something called 'Merits'. You see, you PLAY THE GAME, and do special missions for merits, you save them up, and you can buy anything you want! Any recipe aside from the PVP recipes and Purples.

But that's just silly, huh?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm dead server means no SF's are TF's b/c imposs to build team. So no real way to get merits at decent pace. And there nerfing tickets. So it will be pointless to.

[/ QUOTE ]

Funny. I've run task forces and strike forces on Guardian.

Maybe it's not the server.

So wait you can't do it yourself? I don't need a Hvy. But if you want to bring a friend fine. I will try and take you both on. Worst comes to worst. I invite my friend. But that might a bit of a overkill though. So if i can get him to join me. You might want to bring your SG. 2 just aint enough rep

[/ QUOTE ]

You just whined about not being able to take on three people because they controlled a Heavy.

I'm offering you an identical situation, but without the Heavy's involvement.

[/ QUOTE ]

And that works for me.Worst case is i lose to 2 people. Don't that make you feel super. You need more then one to do it. But like i said i would still try.

[/ QUOTE ]

But your problem before was losing to two people, who then used a Heavy. So you're saying that it's okay that you can take down two people by yourself, but that it's severely imbalanced if the Heavy allows the two people to beat you?

You know that you make no sense, right?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah it is imbalanced. Meaning I don't even get a chance. I got no prob fighting 2 people. And if they kill me they do. But to be held and not get even a shot to defend myself. Well thats imbalanced.

[/ QUOTE ]

You do have a shot. Get your own heavy. Or move out of its range. I've kited people along who thought their heavy made them invincible... only for them to find out that it doesn't help when it's a few hundred yards behind them.

And if you're fighting the pair Sig mentioned - two controllers - you're still getting held. As pointed out long before, there's no mez protection in PVP, just resistance.

I thought it was three people.

His issue was, as he phrased it, being held by the heavy. Sig's just offering to have something else throw holds on him.

Quoting myself:

[ QUOTE ]


I recently put some IOs on the market.

I got from 100 inf (not 100 mill, 100 inf) to 30 million for them. I charged 6 inf. I typically price them from 6-1000.

Whose "fault" is it that they went for up to 30 million?


[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]

But what's that? You say you're looking for the Rare salvage? Maybe it's priced so high because it's RARE.

[/ QUOTE ]

Priced... high?

I don't think he's looked at the market. Pieces that were going for a few mill are at 300k or so. >.< Never mind they're even cheaper with MA tickets. I haven't had to buy any of late... even without farming!

[ QUOTE ]

Ok then give us a quartermaster that sells ever IO. At a set cap. So people can over charge like they alrdy do.

Markets would balance.

Markets?

Why doesn't it surprise me that he doesn't realize that the market is cross server?

Damn Sig beat me to it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nobody expects a Sig.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nobody expects the Siggish Inquisition?

Altering the missions themselves to do so? No.

Putting it in as an arena option? That could be fun.

Edit:

Alternately, if you could flag it perhaps - I just think it might be a mess behind the scenes to do so other than in an arena setting.

Reporting so this can be moved over into player questions or tech issues... whichever is more appropriate.

The signature itself looks fine to me. You mention a signature and icon, though. Try the signature first.

What format is the icon in, and what size is it? Where is it hosted?

[ QUOTE ]
I believe that's because the GF GT 120 is actually taking up the PCI-E slot.
It would need to be yanked out and replaced post-haste, as it really is a very poor GPU
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product...gt_120_us.html

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't ask me why, when I looked at that, I saw them both running the 6150.

They both are running integrated graphics (6150.) You want to stay far, far away.

The second one, however, has a PCI-E x16 slot available. (The first *lists* it but puts it as unavailable. What it's used for, I can't say.) This would, at least, allow you to put in a decent dedicated video card if the power supply can handle it.

two-handed staves as found on Gandalf or Tim. .

[/ QUOTE ]

.... oooooh. Idea that could be most interesting, especially if given slightly freer rein as an "epic."

Staff-using, magic-based epic - combining range, buff/debuff, and staff based *melee.*

Probably be a nightmare to come up with/balance/etc but it could be fun as well.
