This is a disaster waiting to happen. The Freedom server already has a "less than an optimal gaming experience" due to its population size. We've seen the overpopulation problem on Freedom during Double XP weekend when players couldn't even log onto the server. Now the reality is that every day could be like Double XP weekend on Freedom.

Is this transfer of characters without server restrictions also going to be accompanied by a server upgrade? If not, the "we'll fix it if it breaks" philosophy contradicts your claimed sensitivity to population issues, because the population size of Freedom is already a known problem. Unrestricted server transfers to Freedom will only make an existing problem much worse.

My suggestion is to not jump to the conclusion that everyone will be rushing to transfer ONTO the busy servers. I know of many people, including myself, that can't wait to get away from the crowds and lag and such.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, not sure why he's leaping to this conclusion. Could it happen? Sure. But I'm sure there are a fair number of people who will be trying to move off Freedom and Virtue, too. And I'm very happy where I am on Justice, so I'm not moving at all.

We're not all lemmings trying to hop onto Freedom and clog ur interent tubez.

While I soundly agree with zero tolerance for spammers, I want to ask if anything is being done to track down and stop the people actually doing the farming in the first place?


[/ QUOTE ]

While your post brought up a legitimate point, it's going to be nearly impossible for them to find and punish people farming things to sell for RMT and actual players doing it for badges, salvage, inf, etc. I certainly don't want them punishing me because I was out farming for arcane salvage the other day and I don't want them to make getting a Hamidon Goo any harder than it already is. How do you propose they tell the difference? If they can do it without making things harder on legitimate players, that would be terrific and I'd fully support it.

I'm not too worried about the spoilers. I do realize it's an issue for a few people, but there have been a lot of "teases" about that particular element over the last few weeks, and it will soon be fairly common knowledge. (And I do apologize if I ruin the surprise for anyone, as I can be touchy about that kind of thing, but I don't think we can easily put a "spoiler!" warning over the image. I'll mull it over.)

It can't be much of a spoiler when the image of him is already plastered all over the cover of comic issue 20.

I'll probably be at this one!

I think it looks terrific. My biggest objections to myspace are poor design with tiny font floating over a busy background so it can't be read and getting assaulted by music I don't want to hear. This was very well done.

I wanted to say something about Personal Storage, since it's not doing so well in the poll.

In comparison to the other things to vote for, it's not the biggest or neatest thing I9 gave us. I actually voted for IO Sets, instead.

But don't let it's poor showing here fool you. I think the personal storage is a really big - and really wonderful - addition. I belong to a great SG with lots of storage vaults for inspirs and enhancements. But the group policy is "What you put in there can be used by anyone." I'm good with that, since I get a lot of drops I can't use but other people I know ccan. That's a nice and useful policy.

But it also means that if I got a drop that was too high for me to use, I couldn't put it in the bin and be sure it would be there for me when I leveled. And when you're 47, it can take quite some time to gain two levels so that SO is usable. There's no way to put a note on it - "please leave this one, take anything else." And there's nowhere else to put it except to leave it in my enhancement rack for two levels. Not the end of the world if you only have one, but sometimes I've had as many as 3-4 enhancements I couldn't use yet.

I really would love a personal storage option where I can leave my things for just me to claim later without having to leave my great SG and start my own base to do it.

Is this the first serious post Jay has ever made not referring to himself as Sexy?

Hmmm... it's actually informative! Thanks Jay and Lighthouse!

[/ QUOTE ]

But a picture is worth a thousand words. His picture is telling the world "I AM Sexy Jay."

I really like this one. The Carnies in the go-go cages are a nice touch.

This would be an extreme solution so something that isn't really a problem.

But now that T_n_A has 69 posts, the question becomes, "Will he ever post again?"

Hey, that looks terrific. Nice job with the color shading!

Booo to my office for blocking photobucket! I'll check them out when I get home!

I'm not going to attempt to predict future based mostly on release dates for I7 and I8. Before I7, things came at a more than reasonable rate.

When I7 came out, many people said "This is all for villains. I bet from now on, all issues will be for villains, since it's new, and CoH content will fall by the wayside."

And here we have I8, which is mostly for heroes. So they were wrong. You can't predict a pattern based on one event.

You can begin to guess or predict a pattern based on two events, but not very accurately.

While I'm not happy that the number of updates has dropped dramatically this year, I'm not ready to assume that this will always be the case. I'll wait until I9 to worry about it.

Also, don't explore on ahead in the mission even though if you have invisibility. Because it sometime makes it harder to complete a mission since a lot of the map is already exposed to other members.


[/ QUOTE ]

It also spawns all the mobs as you approach, so if you had 4 people in the team when you started and add 3 more after you've scouted the map, the mission will be set for 4 people, not 7.

Very nice! Thanks for posting it here! I never remember to check the art forums as often as I'd like.

If you have the options enable so you can see them, then you can take a screen shot and paste it right into MS Paint or other graphics program.

That's how I got this shot

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone here can direct me to a website or book where I can learn more about how to use GIMP. Thank you!

Also I want to svae a power by taking Hover and not flight, and I don't mind spending the slots for it:

So Hover vs Flight:
Hover negatives:
Need to spend 2.5 lvls slotting it to make it slightly slower than flight.

Positives:
Can keep you out of Melee
Resistance to Knockback
+def
uses less END

FLight negatives:
high END
no defense bonuses
no resistance to knockback
Requires you to choose a not so useful power

Positives:
Can keep you out of Melee
Base is slightly faster than full-slotted hover

[/ QUOTE ]

You're forgetting one more negative about Hover only.

Flight speed inceases when you level, but Hover speed does not. A level 50 person with unenhanced Fly will be faster than a level 14 person with unenhanced Fly. Hover remains the same.

Damn my company for blocking photobucket. I hope this thread is still here when I get home. And I hope the easter egg is still there when it gets to the live servers.

You best be careful, young artist. While it might just seem to be innocent fun, and a bit thrilling, to make such an incredible, but racy, image of Rowr fully clothed, it can only lead to MADNESS!
