You want a bad-***? Make a Warshade. Level 22 and 38 are game changers.

Quote:I see the whole Marvel lawsuit similar to lawsuits against Youtube and Ebay that both of those companies keep winning time and time again. Hell, the Google v. Viacom case was decided on summary judgment in favor of Google (though that is currently being appealed). As long as they have in place systems to deal with copyright/trademark infringement they are not liable for the actions of users. CoH has such a system so I'm thinking that they would have been fine in the lawsuit.Originally Posted by Jade_Dragon
Well, only because the TOS says so.
It's my impression that because City of Heroes is broadcast across the Internet, it is seen as a form of broadcast. So it would be illegal for, say, a network to broadcast a show that used a copyrighted character, even if the author of the show was the one actually violating the copyright. The author violated the copyright when he wrote the show and sold it to the network, but then the network violated it again by broadcasting it.
The TOS would be similar to an indemnity clause where the network would insist that if the show being sold is a violation of copyright, the author accepts the liability. Of course, the network would still have to show it didn't know of the copyright violation, but having that in its contract would help.
Now if they actively encouraged users to violate copyrights and trademarks then they would have been in trouble much like several torrent tracker sights.
I'm not a lawyer, so obviously I don't know any of this for certain, but this one seems pretty obvious to me. -

Quit your moaning, everyone. Every game has problems when a major update/expansion is issued. It's a glitch that will be corrected! Patience, patience, and more patience.... there will be plenty of time to play the new content.
And thank you DEV for responding to this thread You guys are AWESOME!I disagree. If people are upset, they should voice their displeasure. And they should keep doing it until they are happy. That being said, I don't think this is a huge deal.Quote:Originally Posted by TempestMaster
Okay, small consolation, but the slots are NOT lost. They will come back up when the store comes up.
Do they need to fix (or, more appropriately BREAK) the link between the store and the redeemed slots (either purchased from the store or from vet awards)? Absolutely. But please don't make it out to be worse than it is:
Slots redeemed WILL become available one the store is back up. Let us give them time to fix it. THEN we can urge them to prevent it from happening again.

Because I only have one thing to say: If you want servers merged then transfer to Freedom or Virtue now and shut up.
To people that want more/easier teams to find I suggest joining global channels on your server. Teaming is typically much better when you form through those. -
Quote:Marvel's lawsuit would have been thrown out is my guess. If it is considered by the courts to be a copyright violation to create a Wolverine clone in CoH, then the proper person to sue would be the individual player because they are the one actually violating any copyright.Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
Which is part of why you are not allowed by the EULA to create characters whose IP you do not control.
Of course, the closes any of this got tested was when Marvel sued Cryptic/NCSoft... Would of been interesting to see how that one ended up. -
Quote:I agree. I really hope it is taken care of soon, because I want to start my Dom on Freedom and currently can't create any new characters there or transfer to make room. I would start him on another server but this is a level pact I'm gonna do with my friend and I want to start this ASAP.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
I just hope that if the transfers are delayed from starting in any significant way that the devs will choose to extend the time it's allowed accordingly.
But I can be patient, while I'm waiting I'll just create a character or two on Pinnacle. -

True I should follow my own advice, and I do when the argument has merit. Like Sam I have reservations about the motive behind the original post and thus I see no reason to devote time to writing an articulate response. You see Another_Fan, its all about 'context'. A provocative 4-liner post by someone with a history of such things is fair game; story arcs which people have invested a lot of time and effort into require a thoughtful discussion in my opinion, not sweeping generalisations which include "no one wants to play your badly written storyarc..." I'm not arguing MA is perfect, just that respect should be given where it is deserved.
Most(not all) story arcs are badly written. The fact that a lot of time was spent on it doesn't really mean anything. -

Better safe than sorry is what made the Market essentially shut down for a week. I've never been an opponent of safety, outside of cases where it's hugely detrimental to my enjoyment, as well as that of other people.
One of the bad things about having an economy - it takes players to run it, and if players get spooked with irrational fear, it dies. And then we can't blame the developers for it. We can only blame the players.
For me it wasn't fear of losing money, in this game you can fart and 100 million inf comes out. For me I just wasn't sure what it would look like after the merge. After logging in and checking it out I am perfectly happy with the way it was handled. I have all the relevant info I wanted. -
Quote:It could upset some people that have a bunch of stuff sitting on the market.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Define "a lot." Because "a lot" of people pre-purchased Going Rogue and, technically, already own it. A lot of people would, therefore, be very happy if it launched today, rather than tomorrow. And why would anyone be unhappy, really? Because other people got to try the game first when they bought first? Are we back to happiness being drawn from other people NOT having stuff?
When I preordered City of Villains, I got a three-day head start. For the entire game, I might add. I fail to see why those who pre-purchased can't get a head start today. Not to mention the fact that they could simply list Going Rogue on the PlayNC store as they said they would either way.
At the end of the day, I'd rather have it all done today, than having to sit on my hands all day tomorrow, too. I'm off work, people!
For example I put about 250 bids on recipes last night hoping to get as many as possible and then take down all the bids later tonight. I also have yet to document everything I bid on so if everything got pulled a day early it would cause a lot of confusion for me.
That being said, I would gladly deal with the confusion if it meant I could play GR a day early. But I'm sure there are some people out there who wouldn't feel the same way. -
I don't take Aid Self. Ever.
If I use Super Jump or Ninja Run I do my best to stay off the ground as much as possible. That can mean rooftops, the train rail, power lines, or whatever else I can find.
If I use fly for a travel power I fly up as high as possible and log out. I don't use fly on many characters so it is usually a nice little surprise when I log in and start falling right away. It has caused me a couple deaths before, but I don't mind because debt builds character. -

Good point. Despite what Fury just said, I have no intention of moving in on that niche. And not because I think it would be rude or anything(it's all fair game IMO).

So I bought some 40-50 recharges reduction rrecipes, just crafted and reposted. How many times should I repeat this?
Couple things though:
1. Once you get a little more working money it is faster to use Set IO recipes to craft and sell. Bigger profits.
2. Don't tell people what you're crafting and selling for profit, others will move in and destroy your profit. -

Quote:I never understood how fighting off the Rikti invasion is only something a hero would do. I mean, if the world got destroyed or everyone wiped out, wouldn't that include the villains? I won't argue that the villain arcs were worded poorly, but how is it not in a villain's best interest to stay alive?Originally Posted by Emperor_Justin
I think, at least, the Devs need to cut back on the "both sides friendly" content because then it just waters it down. RWZ is awesome, and Issue 10 was one of my faves, but Vanguard is very much a Hero organization. They want to save the world. By throwing villains into the mix, it means the hero content was less heroic, and the villainous content less villainous. Same with Cimerora.
-
I remember one of the devs once saying changing old content wasn't efficient use of time and that they would rather make new content. That may be what he is referring to. But since everything was already there because of GR updating(not remaking) old arcs like that may have been much simpler. At least that is my guess.

I like this idea a lot. I'm all for it. But much like you said in your first sentence, I want to see Dark Astoria done first.

Did I miss something? How does GR and i18 have more hero content than villain?
