Are you suggesting people are hassling the HoF?

I did publish a similar idea earlier and you didnt like it. But that was before we experienced 65000 arcs, a failing rating system and a search engine that does not help you find good stories.

But to prove my concept: try any part of sd0cd0cn0eb0av0lv0ts0

It works. I know its ugly but it does work.

And yes this SHOULD be in the search engine. But it is not there yet. As soon as we got a good search engine we can just drop the whole thing.

[/ QUOTE ]

It doesn't work, because I can't be bothered to decipher the jibberish.

[/ QUOTE ]

It beats trying to find a mission in the blind.

Ever tried finding a low level mission without AT's and eb's that contains a story and is canon?

Answer, you can't

[/ QUOTE ]

Assuming your code is adopted by people in game and can be successfully search upon, how long do you think it'll be before farmers see code, realise people are searching for code and just copy and paste it into their own descriptions, thus ruining the whole idea?

If I had to read an arc description that had "sd1cd0cn1eb0av0lv3ts0" on it, I wouldn't bother playing it.

This sort of thing needs to be added as filters to the existing search window and tags before it can work. I really can't see your system working.

(I have an overwhelming sense of deja vu here).

Yeah, I automatically ran over to it yesterday and got all a-panicky when I didn't immediately find it.

Odd choice. Wonder why?

Problem is that they must decide who to aim for. Existing players who want/need more MEAT or new players who have enough meat but the bones must be up to specs compared to the competition. I doubt they have the staff to do both.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, if I don't get some meat soon, I'm gonna start eating the new players!

I doubt you'll see that tagline on any of our non-existent advertising anytime soon!

Im sure it is when your charging players two or three times for one addon pack :P

Errors like this one actually end up costing us money, once the refunds are issued.

[/ QUOTE ]

Probably would if they ever got round to refunding

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep. Not even an update yet to say that you're in a queue...

Really?

Windows Defender is on here and hardly touching resources. I've done the updates this week too.

If that is the problem, then it's certainly not a global problem caused by Defender.

Depends on what the ideas are and how easy they are to implement.

Actually, I think they're going to be playing I15 very close to their chests. After all, wouldn't want the competition stealing any (more) of your ideas, would you?

Interesting. I take it there's a Defeat All Corporate Lawyer arc after that one?

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, considering Lobo's history of crossovers, I wouldn't be too surprised to see him show up in CoH as part of a April 1st event or something of that sort (probably beating Statesman up with Recluse or something.)

[/ QUOTE ]

This would seriously rock, but I doubt Marvel would go for it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Me neither, considering Lobo is a DC property

Graphics update - probably, but hopefully along the lines of EVE, where you don't have to use it if your system can't handle it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Latest update for EVE Online made the "Premium" client the basic client, increasing the graphics requirements to a card with Shader Model 2 and above. There's some sort of "Premium Lite" (SM2)/"Actual Premium" (SM3+) division, but the old graphics were done away with completly.

No SM2 card? Get buying, game won't run for you no more.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, what EVE used to do then

[ QUOTE ]
Anyway, the developers are split into two teams. this means that in the past, the team that havce done most of the plot have worked on the even numbered issues.

They could start off with the go attack the Rikti thing and when we get up there, we find they've all be slaughtered...

I'd like the Moonbase zone added with believable reasons

[/ QUOTE ]

That's how the Rikti got around the portal barrier stopping them getting to Earth. A moonbase would be striking back at the base the Rikti must have set up to run their dropships out of. We've already got the reason, but I guess it'd just be another Rikti smash.

Then again, they probably wouldnt be able to resist having Fifth Column up there as well, what with the 'Nazi Moonbase' meme.

Insert "Dun dun duh!" here

Line breaks can no longer be put into player character bios and any bios that had them have them removed if you edit them.

This turns readable text into a wall of text issue - needs fixing back to how it used to be.

There's one part of the MA system which also does this, although others still allow Line Breaks.

Stuff.

A player exodus to a certain other new game if it doesn't meet their expectations.

Graphics update - probably, but hopefully along the lines of EVE, where you don't have to use it if your system can't handle it.

Branching plots - decisions with consequences that not even Ouroboros can fix for you (not likely, but I'd like to see it).

The Coming Storm - whatever the hell this is, I'd sure like to see it.

More powerset proliferation (TA Corruptors preferably).

New (Remade?) Zone - probably Co-op, but it would be nice if it was sectioned off between Heroes and Villains with two plots running.

I'd like more on the Coming Storm, I'd like the Moonbase zone added with believable reasons, I'd like plot in Dark Astoria and I want more low-ish level stuff to do with The Family, Warriors and Tsoo.

I really hope that they won't rely on the MA (otherwise every plot at the moment will be FARM HERE) to provide this stuff.

I15 is going to be make or break time though. People crying out for new powersets, proliferated powersets (I want my TA Corruptor please!), story, improved graphics, customisation, all up against the first competitor in the same area that COH has ever had.

Champions may turn out to be rubbish or it may simply be COH2. Either way, it's new and shiny, which matters a lot more to Joe Public than story and 5 years worth of game.

Interesting times ahead.

What players have reported and what is announced by the devs brings with it a certain level of clarity and persuasion for your junior sociopaths though...

Mmmmh, I've just thought up an arc plot....

What do you know? It's working now!

Granted, I haven't tried it since flight poses came out, but it's definitely working now.



I'm still going to use the underscore though, because like Cynic, I think it looks neater.

But the Confirm Payment button CAN ONLY BE PRESSED ONCE. It becomes unclickable after that.

That's in both IE and Firefox.

You're not important enough to know and by publishing how to do it, you might (no, will) find people trying it out left, right and centre, just for laughs.

Dark Astoria I'm thinking you mean the fog, but thats not really a massive zone change, thats just a switch on/off :P

[/ QUOTE ]

No, I don't mean the fog.

I mean give us a few story arcs set in Dark Astoria which detail out exactly what happened, with an attempt to fix it (which fails, of course).

The look of the zone is fine, although I'd love the buildings and vehicles to actually look like they belong (20's architecture - it looked horrible when the fog was accidentally removed a while ago)

I'd say that Mercy is way, way, way down the list of zones needing remakes - Cap Au Diable is the Villains' gathering zone (although, admittedly that's the Black Market truck's fault, rather than anything else).

I'd much rather they looked at Boomtown, Eden or, even better, Dark Astoria first.

The Aura's that you've unlocked in the MA are just for the Custom Critters that you create.

For you to get Aura's you need to speak with either the City Representative for Heroes or Kalinda or Burke for Villains at level 30.
