Don't forget to be there or be square this Saturday night when we give Evil Hami the beat down!

I surely hope so, I want this badge as well as the challenge on a few toons:

Meowtch - Ice/Ice Blaster
Mental Trap - Mind/TA Troller
Nuclear Diva - Rad/Rad Def
Double Freeze - Cold/Ice Def (which is scheduled for the current run!)

I also have:

Miss Heals - Emp/Mind Def
Predominante - Grav/FF Troller
Rogue-Justice - Fire/Kin Troller
Miss Illusion - Ill/Kin Troller

Would be pretty sweet to see how each of them stand up to the task but if I can get it on at least the first four I would be one happy dappy camper

Well, Acey, Mephie, Umann, Pingster, BA, me and a couple o'crazy scrappy doos went in like a blaze of glory for the 6:30pm EST one...but we got spit out...

WC is still around -- the free weekend brought back some peeps but a certain Silas takes time out of college girl watchin' to stick around ( ), a few others pop in now and again for TF/SF action as well...

Sometimes when I'm lucky AZ and Silas ask me to tag along

Synopsis: Fun, Silly, I'm a Cat-Girl so you know what to expect

Estimated Time to Play: Short Arc, less than 10 minutes

Link to More Details or Feedback: I am still searching for a good Atlas Park map that isn't buggy with rescues, hope you enjoy!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey Champs, I've unpublished this due to too many people telling me it was a waste of their time...I know the map was a pain but it needed to be Atlas and there is no other that allows me to put as much in that isn't bugged so perhaps they'll eventually release more Atlas maps, we'll see...

In the interim, go enjoy Zubs arc if you like humor, it was truly fantastic!!

Have a great weekend all!

People at work are talking about cows and you begin thinking about how you'll FINALLY have some time this weekend to run MAs, beginning with Zubs' moos

I seem to recall a dev comment about this, is there an official stance on whether giving unwarranted poor ratings could be griefing? Are the devs interested in us reporting potential cases of this? Obviously anonymity of who's giving what ratings makes this impossible for us to be certain about.

I only ask because my first story arc (4336) received a 1 star rating (and no comment) after the first play, but is now up to 4 stars.

Of course there are other reasons for giving it 1 star, maybe they just don't like Sky Raiders. But the lack of comment made me suspicious. I'm guessing that the whole rating system has been heavily discussed including the potential for forming griefing alliances etc. Yet another form of PvP added to the game.

I totally understand where you are coming from...I had someone tell me mine sucked because it had no ending, well...if they read all of the little things they'd see that there is an ending..

-but- try not to take any of this personally (I know it is easier said than done) but really, different strokes for different folks!

-and- if it is obvious that the person is just a total [censored] who is bitter that no one is playing theirs...well...obvious [censored] is obvious [censored] to everyone so they'll get it back anyway

I am also in favor of some sort of metric or standard to be in place that sets a guideline for ideas like this.

[/ QUOTE ]

This, I'm fully in support of. (I'm very much "on the side of caution," if you've paid attention to my comments.)

[/ QUOTE ]


You know this thread speaks to a bigger topic that all 14 vocally opposed have overlooked by a mile.


Saying you'd like to see some standard or metric on this idea while spending ALL your time trying to shoot down the vehicle that might bring that about, is a contradiction.

Wouldn't it be amazing to have THIS in OUR game? That's a feature in a game that's not even a year old.


Do you really think the devs would consider the request in the OP without first considering a system to reward laudable milestones by other players, and events? Really?

In that, you're really selling yourselves and everyone who's accomplished worthy milestones or feats in the game to date, and in the future, short.

[u]You say you want a standard and contemplation by the devs, but the vehicle to start the process is right in front of your eyes.[u]

You've pointed to other entities that are worthy, yet clearly those associated with them are no where near as passionate about their cause as those who've attended TT through the years.
More likely, many of the leaders of the afore mentioned don't have active accounts anymore.

Contrast that with the person responsible for starting TT returning to the game to support the idea.


This is the vehicle to force that "metric" by the devs if there ever was one, by the broad show of support, to possibly usher in something like THIS, but you're so inclined to think inside the box that the point completely misses you, just as it did with Power Proliferation for many of you.

[u]You were wrong on Power Proliferation (I have pms battle scars on my sons account from a few of you from those days ), and you're totally missing an opportunity with the OP.[u]


Airing on the side of cation and inside the box clan thinking rarely gets anything interesting done, just as it wouldn't if some of you had your way with PP.


In effect you could say that this event and those offering this outside the box idea are pioneers of maybe something like this making it's way into the City Of game world.


[u]But you're not exploring anything, or promoting any new ideas, you're just hunkered down in your narrow box dissecting every minuscule fact to "air on the side of caution". [u]


Maybe the devs will still think of an equitable system to reward better then exceptional feats by players and forumites, because of the uncontested milestone highlighted in the OP (like a Hall of Fame instance, with an entire map filled with stutues and plaques highlighting legends and legendary accomplishments), [u]but it wont be because of any of the obstructionist minded pack.[u]


You offer [u]nothing new[u], only the same rehashed rewards that are growing five years long in the tooth, while even the devs have tried to think outside the box on this topic.



And for that you do a disservice to everyone in the game, including yourselves, who've accomplished crazy amazing milestones while playing this game we love.

This could be in the games future, and it's at least worthy of a polite debate. Using your obvious intelligence to offer alternative new ideas, ways that this could happen equitably in game, like maybe using the MA as part of it.


Think outside the box, be proactive, if a one year old game can think of some new and exciting way to reward true achievements, then why can't you, you're friends, you're events and groups, who've unquestionably made not just a mark but a crater in this game, be rewarded with something innovative exciting and brand new?!

That hall of fame would be pretty exciting, I'd love to see something like it in the CoX world. No one can say it hasn't been done yet in an mmo.

For anyone out there viewing this thread who may be unfamiliar with this most fantastic and fun event, here are pics from this evening's gathering - this is prior to everyone splitting into groups and running in tight packs

Special appearance by: The Ring! (Click Me 2)

I can totally respect what others are saying with regards to having the plaque be cross-server as well as those who do not come to the forums much that may wonder what it is about...

but...

Wouldn't it be terrific to prompt people to want to be a part of this fantastic long-running player event? Does it matter that it was born out of Champion? Could it be possible that players may pick it up and begin running their own on their servers & if not, creating a tankie to have on Champion for the event?

I think, and yes I am a Championite so therefore biased, that altering landscape and sparking an interest in the great unknown is a fantastic idea. We all know that the glory days of tankerdom have long since come to an end but anyone that has played & loved their tankie through all of the changes still has cause to be proud!

Maybe instead of looking at it as something that is confusing or out of place on other servers, it could be viewed as inspiring and cause more to begin creating their own long-running amazing events.

PS...Ring, if you are out there somewhere and reading this, Champion Tankies thank you for bringing this idea to fruition and molding, loving, caring, promoting and holding this event for all to share!

This new update is really going to be fun!

You want level 50 content, eh? Well now you got it!!!!!

The channel is better left for just Championites, there will be tens of thousands of missions created throughout the servers and the channel will give us the chance to start and rate our own honestly amongst ourselves.

Wooo! Very nice work on the dev's part, much thought and consideration went into this one and to boot, it offers player inspired content...how wicked is that??

Whoa, holy triple post Batman!

Nice though, gratzehs NB!

You cheated on your main!?!?

lol -- Gratzehs to everyone!!!

My altitis has become really out of control...I really need to have about 20 slots on Champion to fill that need


[/ QUOTE ]

Here ya go! More Slots

[/ QUOTE ]

This is FANTASTIC!!!! I LOVE it!!! Nice work Devs, and thank you so much for sharing that information with us...there's nothing like sharing!

[ QUOTE ]
There will now be no cure for my altitis disease. The only thing I can console myself with will be the other uncontrollable urge to level up Cerise Dawn to 50, come hell or high water, because I will have a Blood Widow as my epic to go with my PB, and complete my slotting on Pinnacle. One of every archetype (as I include the epics as one... even though they're not... I 've only the 12 slots, ya know... )

Matt, you are truly rockin' the joint. I am now wondering how in the heck y'all can top this for I13 and 14 and beyond... 'cause man, this is gonna be a whole new experience.

Keep this up. NCNC rulz!

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree with you on soooo many levels, Houtex!!! My altitis has become really out of control...I really need to have about 20 slots on Champion to fill that need

You guys 'n gals definitely ROCK, I cannot say it enough!!!

First, I am so very excited

This game totally ROCKS

And speaking of rocks...and rocking...has anyone else had a certain Billy Idol song running over and over and over and over again?? Tee-Hee
