  1. Tsk. That's what I get for taking the time to make a serious if long post. I lose out on the chance to get First After A Red Name.

Had I thought for a second that any response in this thread would've been taken seriously unless it was anything other than in support of your righteous indignation, I assure you I would've made a more serious post to begin with.

    I'm not sure quite where you're going with this line of thought considering I was quoting someone else and referencing a point made by someone other than yourself.

    Incorrect, and herein lies the meat of the issue. You HAD a grievance with the person, but as soon as you petitioned them you officially lost your grievance with them as you put it in the capable hands of NC Soft Community Relations. As such, if anything is done regarding the matter it's solely at the discretion of NC Soft.

    Had your post simply been the first paragraph or two inquiring about the rules on the matter instead of a lengthy description of the events, I'd say you were simply looking for clarification. Considering the nature of your original post and your subsequent posts in the thread, I can only conclude that you're not seeking clarification but instead looking for support. Hence why I didn't think you'd take an honest differing opinion seriously and instead opted for the more humorous and fun for me route in posting.

    Just because it's in local doesn't mean people can't see it. Depending on the server population at the time and their location in a zone, local can be seen by just as many people as broadcast.

    You mention the EULA, so that's a nice segue into responding to your initial post, which I will do below.

    Right there is where your post should have ended, with perhaps a slight bit of background information. Say a sentence or two.

    In response to your inquiry regarding the stance held by NC Soft on harassment during RP in game, I'd say that there isn't an official or unofficial stance considering Roleplaying is an uncovered byproduct of the service NC Soft provides and as such, NC Soft is not liable. There are, however, rules in the EULA and the Rules of Conduct regarding harassment.

    From the EULA:

    Quote:
    Member Conduct. You agree not to use the Service to: ix. stalk" or otherwise harass another member; or
    From the Rules of Conduct:

    Quote:
    1. While playing City of Heroes, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players.
    As you've pointed out, only you are privy to the conversation between the two of you, so we only have your word to go off of regarding the situation and how things were handled. I'll merely point out that powers and emotes are content supplied and supported by NC Soft, while Roleplaying is not. While everyone's fun in this game is subjective to themselves, they were using aspects of the game and you were not, so the situation is quite murky.


    Quote:
    EDIT: Oh and for those that were there, please remember there is no naming and shaming, however tempting. Nor implications of name and such. I'm not intending to persecute the person who I felt disrupted my enjoyment of the game.
    A nice afterthought and a good way to try and cover for yourself, but you've already supplied through your post a) a time, b) a server, c) a zone, d) a location in said zone, e) an archetype and f) a situation tied solely to the player in question. While not quite as concrete as giving out the character or global name, it's certainly enough to bring that person to light. Combined with this public thread you made detailing things, I'd say you yourself have risked breaking the EULA and the Rules of Conduct regarding causing "distress and/or unwanted attention" to the other person.

    Why don't the RPers use private chat or some channel.. why MUST they use local in those areas? I'm sorry but its so freaking annoying.. and its like 15 conversations melted into one nonsense stream.
    Tsk tsk, you know nothing of RP, I see. Allow me to elucidate for you the finer points of the roleplaying mechanism put forth for your and others' benefit in Pocket D and other public places: their characters are all a bunch of horny ***** and ****** who like to have *** and **** each other in public to get off on their exhibitionism, and they're merely "playing their characters". Just like you do when you log into the game.

    In fact, I put forth that since we're all roleplaying by the sheer fact that we're logging into the game, then the OP disrupted the player with the stone tanker's snowball fight and teleporting demonstration roleplaying session!

    But srsly, lolRP in this case. By roleplaying in public instead of team or tells or channels, all you're doing is stroking your ego extra hard by MAKING SURE everyone around HAS to see it. *shakes head to self and sighs*

    See what I just did there? Ya, I like to stroke my ego, too, but I don't complain about not being able to or about the fact that MY fun might be ruined if someone else doesn't like it.

    Try back when you're dealing with two immature males badly roleplaying homosexual sex in the broadcast channel in Atlas Park of a non-traditional roleplay server complete with attempting to line up emotes.
  4. Meh. This is nothing. Someone's clearly never been under Faultline before. :P

    I was hoping in the future we might be able to have access to the base models for enemy groups without any powers. I realize there might be some oddities with this such as well, I can't think of any specifics but weapons where they shouldn't be and more I'm sure, but what if I want a zombie and I don't want them to have guns but I like the banished pantheon models. Why can't I give them dark/dark powers and have them just not draw the guns. Or how about if I want a L50 Shivan with custom Rad powers or a Rularuu Brute for a level 1-10 mission arc where they are severely weakened and I give them simple powers.

    I think if we could just have unfettered access to the models and the ability to add any power to any model that would alleviate a lot of the requests of people wanting x mob available in a wider variety of levels.

    Also, I would like to be able to give them a wider variety of ranged attacks. I have a villain mission where they take on a Police Convention and all the cops with war maces (for billy club) have throwing knives. Since when do cops use throwing knives?! I would like the ability to be able to give them shotguns instead. Perhaps make melee powerset enemies in MA have a 3rd (and required option) for ranged weapon instead of cramming it into the melee set. The author could select shuriken or knives or shotgun or hatchet or flame thrower or dynamite or grenade or any one of maybe 10 or so ranged powers that would better fit the character concept.


    How about being able to give NPCs pool powers? You do it for regular NPCs, Nemesis gets Vengeance, Tsoo get teleport etc. We would like to be able to do the same.

    Oh, and what the hell are reflections powers and how do they affect the NPC and player respectively?

    Thanks for listening.

    Ooh, I'd very much love to be able to use existing models with powers to say, create a Outcast Earth if I wanted to. I'd like to add an amendment to your post, if you don't mind, regarding power pools:

    What about the option to assign "Enemy Power Pools" to models, to work in concert with being able to use existing models? By that, I mean taking things like the Nemesis ranged rifle attacks with Vengeance, etc, or the powers of Paragon Police and putting them into their own section so if we can't use the models, we could, for instance make our own Nemesis Automatons, etc. I'd love to be able to create my own Police without having to give them Assault Rifle or make them a Thug Mastermind just so they can use pistols.

  8. Lessee, I was gone for five months or so, so let me share with you things I've stumbled upon.

    - Power customization. Certain things get colors, certain things don't. Super Strength and Martial Arts now have alternate animation options for some powers, too. Woot!

    - I'M NOT MAPSERVING! :O

    - Completely redone difficulty settings that're now free. Set your enemy levels compared to you, if you fight bosses, if you fight AVs or EBs, if you're a one man team for spawns.

    - Ninja running. Mmmmmm. So so tasty. (requires Martial Arts pack)

    - ZOMG GOING ROGUE INFO!

    - Change your character body type and height. (requires Super Science pack)

    - I'M NOT MAPSERVING!! EVEN WHEN USING WENTWORTH'S AFTER HOURS OF PLAYTIME! :O :O :O

    - No 3-4 Paladins in their little cubby hole in KR.

    - Did I mention the lack of lag and mapserving, compared to before?

    This IS a shipper couple, because 'shipping, in it's basest terms is to be a fan of a relationship, be them real or imaginary pairings.

    Nope. You fail by attempting to explain away 'ships using evidence. In fact, your first point up there about Zoisite/Kunzite not being actual 'ships because they're actual relationships merely proves your grasp at 'ships so makes your post contradictory regarding them.

    *rolls up sleeves* Careful what you say. I've dated a few girls very infatuated with either Zoisite/Kunzite from Sailor Moon or Harry/Snape from Harry Potter, depending on the girl, so I've been beyond the bothered point onto being able to joke about it and make the pairings easily.

    Statesman/Lord Recluse.. childhood friends and rivals who often get into hot and heavy fights with each other, etc. Always thinking of each other in some form or another. What should we call it.. Statescluse?

    Statesman/Manticore.. rivals in philosophy but with the same goals in mind. Manticore's already been established in the canon to have penetrated Statesman deeply with his hard shaft. I imagine Manticore's the aggressor in this, and most likely the sadist to Statesman's masochist. Hmm.. Staticore? Manman?

    Back Alley Brawler/Manticore.. longstanding fatherly or at least teacher relationship between the two. Back Alley Brawler seems to be one of the few people who can keep Manticore in line, thus making Manticore the sub in this pairing. BABicore?

    Tyrant/Statesman.. Statesman seems to spend quite a bit of time chained up in Tyrant's own personal dungeon, doesn't he, hmm? Again we see States' canonical ties to being a masochist again. Maybe we should just call this one Cole².

    Anti-Matter/Neuron.. once friends, now rivals and enemies. Quite a bit of emotional friction there.. but I bet if there's anyone who can get Anti-Matter out of that literal and emotional shell of his armor, it's Neuron.

    Aeon/Aeon.. Dr. Aeon's pretty full of himself, and he has the ability to make clones of himself. I'm sure there's a very dirty and obvious joke in there, somewhere. But let's leave that as is. Aeon^10.

    Wincott/Frostfire.. there has to be a reason why Wincott keeps going after him and keeps letting his son end up in trouble all the time to the point where he has to send people after Frostfire. There also has to be a reason why Frostfire lets it happen and keeps going back for more. I imagine Frostfire spends nights melting the ice on the iced over windows of his hideout so he can look longingly in the direction of the gate to Atlas Park and the mustached man he wants to help melt the layer of ice over the raging inferno that is his heart. Winfire.

    With Manticore as the seducer to try and take States away from Recluse with Synapse thrown in for comic relief. After all, Synapse is just barely able to be good enough to catch and handle Manticore's shaft.

    Now, on the other hand.. BABs is probably the only one that can make Manticore the uke.

    It's because it's hotter to watch two of the gender you like going at it. Though with women slashing up the male characters it appears to be more lovey-dovey, whereas with men slashing up the women it's RAWR teh hardcorez.

  15. Mr_Hellcat

    Your 1 thing?

    An update costume creator with asymmetrical choices for arms/legs/shoulders and pattern layering.
  16. Mr_Hellcat

    No "More"

    Just thought of a couple of big ones I'd like to see..

    - Weather and seasons with buffs and debuffs to powers. If it's raining, a buff to electricity outside and a debuff to fire, etc.

    - A Japanese garden with perpetual sakura falling.
  17. Mr_Hellcat

    No "More"

    - The ability to put shininess or glowiness on a section of say Matte and have the rest be Matte.

    - Asymmetrical costume creator for arms/legs/shoulders beyond robot parts.

    - Stylized tattoo design patterns. You've proven with Vines that you can make things that don't have to be big blocky patterns.

    - Pattern layering of two patterns on a body part.

    - Unlockable NPC group costume pieces for either getting X badge or stopping X amount of fires/robberies, etc.

    - Piercings/jewelry.

    - A way to have actual white masks.

    - Tattooed tanktops/T's/belly T's for women.

    - The headsets the AE NPCs have.


    And for my off the wall and non-costume related ones...

    - Very low light maps lit by lighting effects and powers.

    - Being able to stand on moving objects like cars and the blimp. A big flying fortress moving around above one of the villain zones that you can stand on would be awesome.

    - A system whereas you're given benefits for helping the infrastructure of Paragon City and helping the police, etc, where you gain vendor discounts that last for a certain amount of time and unlock things like the Cape and Aura missions sooner.

    Edited to add:

    - Less completely awesome things being made into way far off Vet Rewards.
  18. I don't know if it's been suggested anywhere in the thread, but...

    Well, one of my biggest problems with some of the stronger melee attacks like Energy Melee and Super Strength is the slowness of the attacks. Now, the alternate attacks for Super Strength are good, but now there seems to be a lot of empty time or preparing to attack in the "hauling back because ZOMG this low level attack is so awesome and POWAHFULLL!!" So would it be possible to maybe make some of them a quicker attack that uses the entire existing animation time.. say some sort of combination 1-2, jab then quick but powerful uppercut, for instance?

    I mean.. I'm all for people wanting to look and feel powerful, but some people prefer quickness, and even if the animation time stays the same but it's a combination attack, it could help people believe it's quicker.

    But to be honest, Im tired of Nemesis too, don't get me wrong he is a great Classic Villain, but I am also very tired of him & his faction(Very Very Tired).

    Lord Recluse is also dead in Praetoria, which I am tad sad about, I really wanted to see Arachnos move foward more in our world & more story on Recluse & possibly him finally kicking the living snot out of Statesjerk & set up catalyst for other heroes to be involved in the forefront. Sorta Superman vs Doomsday, but Statesman stays dead for much much longer time.

    Now personally in Praetoria, I want to know how some groups I personally LIKE on Earth Prime, are doing. Here is a list of them.


    1. Malta
    2. Vahzilok
    3. Skulls
    4. Coralax
    5. Crey Industries
    6. The Knives of Artemis.

    Those 6, I would love to see information on any Preatorian selves. Would Malta & The Knives be opposing Emporer Cole(since they are basically terrorist group on Prime, so would they be there? or perhaps actual Shock Troops for Cole?)

    Dr. Vahzilok, what's he up to over there? Could he actually moved up the food chain & have higher lvl minions or done something completely different like Cyborg Zombies?

    Skulls even around? I hope so... I really do like them.

    Crey, I mean Come on CREY! Sure Lord Nemesis is all over, but so are they, Countess always has her hands in something, its like those 2 should be Husband & Wife, then bicker over who gets to wear the pants.

    Of course Coralax & everything they represent here, what about over there?

    Personally, I would want to know more on Malta & Doc V. more then Nemesis. I would also like to know more about the Praetorian Arachnos, since they ARE there, but thats all we know.

    JJ

    If I had to guess, I'd say Dr. Vaz's probably a "legitimate" scientist in Emperor Cole's stable somewhere. Probably with an attitude along the lines of Aeon.

    Countess Crey's been shown to be a hero in Praetoria.

    Off topic but oooh, I love the use of the Cyborg shoulder pieces there in your longhorn/bull character.

    On topic.. does anyone know of any decent Statesman CGI/promo art more along the lines of the Going Rogue stuff? Or does anyone have a clean shot of the slide from the Hero-Con presentation of States?

    *pauses*

    They should update the Going Rogue website with the new art and info, or at the least release the slideshow presentation in website form so I can get that pic of Statesman... err for promotional purposes.

I had to hodgepodge that together and make a couple of letters. Get me the font and I'll put up the non-resized Tyrant pic I shifted and took the background off of.
