Maybe make the stars have a preset phrase to help narrow it down?


0 stars = really poor, no story at all.

3 stars = It was ok, but the story wasn't consistant.

5 stars = fantastic, i really felt like i was there!


Something like that.... Make it possible to rate half stars as well so the drop in rating isn't so severe if one person doesn't quite think it's 5 star material.

Mmmh. I'll give 3/5 stars to something that I think is on a par with the average existing COH stories, 4/5 for arcs which I really enjoy and 5/5 for those that give me the same reaction as doing The Wretch arc or Weston Phipps arc did the first time too.

I'll also knock stars off if there's a whole load of text errors or story inconsistencies.

(I'm doing one right now that would be 4/5, but the first few clues have tons of incorrect spellings in them. If they want to be rewarded for doing things wrong, then they can go to school for that (yeah, I know, stay away from Daily Mail style politics Aardy).

Oddly enough I'd had this idea recently myself but it fell by the wayside

I thought it would give us someplace to moan constructively

Is there a US equivalent for CityofGuides or a thread on their forums which lists Story based arcs with levels?

Ever wondered why there are no cars in the Rogue Isles?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because, despite the vile propaganda, Lord Recluse is ensuring that the Rogue Isles carbon footprint is lower than any country that has heroes to protect it.

Heck, he's even got a completely Carbon neutral power system in the isles (unless you count those times it nearly escaped)

Yes, but marketing has never been their top priority...

<--- is getting slightly fed up listening to people moan now

[/ QUOTE ]

This... seriously can we not have the moaners keep moaning plz its getting stuiped how the moaners r posting the same thread just in different words....heres something....WE GET IT

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey guess what, now you're moaning.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe they could add a new "Moaning" section to the forums?

[/ QUOTE ]

Good idea - so long as it has rules that there's to be no positive posting. It'd be one section of the forum where you'd never be able to post.

Take care FFM.

I'm still betting you post at least twice before your account expires!

See you on the other side (at some indeterminate time in the future).

You know that constructive debate on an idea involves slightly more than going "Hell yeah, that's a great idea! We should implement it straight away without considering any other possible options", right?

Just because people disagree with an idea you have doesn't mean that you're not welcome.

This is (even now) one of the gentler forums on the internet for debate. Stick around, keep putting ideas through, accept the flames, trolls and what not (even if you still feel compelled to argue against them) - it's still theraputic and easy compared to a day's worth of office work...

Given that half the people in Cap Au Diable crying out for Farm teams have got at least 9 month Vet rewards (33 months is the biggest amount I have seen on a Farm requester so far), I doubt it would make a difference.

The two villains who were Superspeed chasing each other round in circles for nearly half an hour earlier today inside the Cap Au D AE building had no Vet Rewards mind, but I'm glad that some people are able to find the game fun, even if they're not levelling

i have no alternative then to PL.

Well actually you do...

This would probably be better served in Tech, but I wanted to air it here as it's likely to be seen by more people.

There are some major long term doozies (yes, I know people will put in CoP and PvP in here. Yes, ha ha, you're hilarious. Well done. Win an internet cookie), but what about the minor ones which have been missed?

I'll get the ball rolling:

Mastermind Thugs, Arsonists: They say "I;m going to waste somethin' " - I don't think the English language allows the use of a semi-colon in place of an apostrophe, unless I'm missing some weird US punctuation rule?

The mission in the Wretch story arc that has had the wrong map pointer since it came into existence - I've only been bugging it since Issue 6...

Anything else that's long term, minor and bugging you?

I think ya'll look-seeing too much in this here mans speech.

[/ QUOTE ]

Of course. If we didn't, what would we talk about?

[/ QUOTE ]

Also, given that it's the only contact we've had with the devs recently, it's right up thar for tearin' apart until we find all there is to find out about it!

(Not a lot, but we can dream).

And I just saw a trailer for Dead Rising 2 today.

Funny that

Well broadcast in Cap Au D is full of "Lff team/Farm Team wanted etc."

(Just logged in myself there and that was 6 or 7 broadcast messages before the screen came in.)

Sorry Dave, but I disagree with your assessment, given that Posi was answering the question straight after me.

But there's nothing we can do about what he said or didn't say now. Time will tell.

[ QUOTE ]

Why don't the devs actually make new contacts with new arcs/missions?


[/ QUOTE ]
To the best of my knowledge, the devs have never said that they won't be doing this.

[/ QUOTE ]

Although Posi's "we'll do TF's, you lot do missions!" statement was a tad worrying.

I'm going to assume that he hadn't yet had his morning coffee when he said it to us.

(The world's always better when you stick your fingers in your ears and stop listening to people)

Here's a radical thought.

Why don't the devs actually make new contacts with new arcs/missions?

This new content could even take place outwith the AE building - in the real CoX universe - and be blalanced to a degree where it can't be easily farmed.

Another thought ... This new dev created content could even provide normal drops/rewards, rather than tickets?

Maybe this new dev content could even perhaps tie into the existing CoX storyline, and maybe, even perhaps, possibly use some zones that are light in content right now.

Maybe even zones like Boomtown, DA, Eden, Perez, Terra Volta, etc.

Yeah .. I know. Crazy radical idea. It'll never work in a million years

I must be insane to have even thought of it.

A post on the forums made me smile with genuine humour!

CO has everything COX has good, and everything COX is unable to have

[/ QUOTE ]

You what? Either you're playing a very different Closed Beta from the one I've heard of or you're completely delusional.

Sure, it looks interesting, but it is in no way, shape or form the same as COH.

Fair point. Also, I'm going to use that line in my appraisal this year.

Exciting? This is exciting? You should get a job at a nursery, you'd have a great time - everyday a rollercoaster, guaranteed.

[/ QUOTE ]Is a good job to do for a while at least, but you can't rage at kids so I wouldn't recommend it as a forum substitute

You did post a goodbye post though and then came back even though you said you probably wouldn't

I came back specifically to troll someone. And yes I posted a goodbye thread, but I'm speshul.

Yes. Honest too. Also, still here
