  1. Someone took their stroppy pills tonight, didn't they?!
  2. Flash arrow is autohit in PvE, but needs Accuracies in PvP. I have no idea about Smoke.

    It also seems to pay off Debt somehow, but I haven't really focused enough on how exactly this works.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    So far as I can tell you don't get debt if defeated while you have Patrol XP

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The actual debt amount is debited from the Patrol XP amount, from what I've seen.

    Would I play an arc that dictated who I was? Even in the context of the game world it's supposed to be entertainment, so yeah, I would.

    And thanks for asking me personally!

    I sure hope there is, I mean, why work on Issue 14 if there's isn't going to be one?

    There's also the issue of 20 zillion arcs called "Kill UberBoss", with every named character having the same name. Sure, the database might cope with it (easily, I'd imagine), but it won't be that much fun.

    Wonder how they'll cope with character defamation too? You could pick someone whiter than white that you know in game and build an arc around how evil they are.

    Nothing inherently wrong with it, but it might not make that person happy.

    Isn't that the point of the "Report Abuse" system in the MA? At least I think there's one. You click that, fill in the detail and immediately our GMs will leap into action and deal with the offending arc...

    *Steps around the sarcasm puddle*

    Technically though, if your arc still falls into the EULA guidelines and all you've done is flip the personality of a known PC, then can they really do anything? It's all make believe in the make believe game world anyway...?

    Certainly the point of Twitter

    I thought the point of Twitter was come pay attention to Stephen Fry?

    One naming issue is the abreviation.. MA, Martial Arts or Mission Architect?

    Or poorly-sighted ant-eating mammal.

    That'd be a pretty selfish thread... "Hey folks, come pay attention to me...." *disappears before someone points out that's the whole point of the internet*
  9. I have no idea what you're talking about... *whistles*
  10. If we can create custom characters and groups to be our enemies, I think I can foresee a slight problem.

    I know that I want to use some of my existing characters in story arcs (even if just for myself/friends to play with).

    But if the character name database is linked into the Player Character name database, we could have an issue. Hopefully, it isn't and they've thought of this.

    Would you be disappointed if you couldn't add your existing characters into arcs, names and all?

    Everyone has a guilty pleasure or two.

    So you're saying... we need to round up everyone and send them to correctional facilities, right? Awesome. It'll be expensive, but I'll have the lads hire some vans and start doing the rounds.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Is that your guilty pleasure?

    Dreaming of CoX

    I've had superhero dreams for much of my life, so I couldn't really say if I'd had COH/V dreams.

    There's probably been some inspirations (I'm fairly sure I faced something like a Warhulk at some point - according to bushbaby, I spent that night fighting the covers!)
  14. Well... uh.... well damn, consider me rightly rejoindered....

    Anyway. COH advertising, how about that?

  15. I'm going to give him ^^^ five stars, just because I don't know whether he's serious or not. (Are you Trey Parker?)
  16. I will now divert the point of this post and focus on the fact that you two were watching reality TV....

    Erm, ha ha (as Nelson would say).
  17. I'd imagine that I'd build up to a kill all. You start with investigations (find clues), you end up having to shake one or two people up for information, before the final conflict where you have to take out the entire base to prevent the spread of whatever it is that you're stopping.

    Then again, you may just be instructed to leave no prisoners/survivors by your contact for the whole arc. Depends on what the story is, I suppose.

    Salvage Pricing.

    I've put everything up for 5, even the rarer ones. I'm still rolling in it (Heroes side, at least), because there are people out there (I like to call them idiots) who bid way, WAY over the odds for any item.

    Hijacking the Garvord powers might be better, as they almost always activate Intergation at the start of a battle.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yes probably. Of course, maybe your gorilla is just a bit crazy and constantly beats his chest.

    I suspect there's going to be a few funny looping animations when the MA first appears (unless you can set a pause, in which case the devs did good in thinking about it).

    Chest thumping

    I thought there was a setting for opening animation on the screenshots?

    Can you not just set their opening animation to use /e tarzan?

    Logged on to antoher MMO I have a "founder" membership in (wink wink) and was amazed how many emotes they now had, not to mention the ability to "play" midi music etc.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Heh, that was one of the things I loved about LOTR - the ability to play music, either with keypresses equalling a music scale or with midi files.

    Not enough to sustain my interest in the game, but it was a definite nice to have.

    Valkyrie pack ?

    Nope. Just buy the Mac pack and you'll get the Valkyrie pack, the Mission teleporter and a free month of time. It's account based, rather than dependent on what system you're running the game on.
  24. I'd like to see a base exit either at or near to Technician Naylor please.

    Aww sorry to hear that DW. I was wondering if you'd been hit when the BBC announced it...

    Still, now's the time for you to move on to his awesome purpleness' technical staff, just in time for Doll House to go down the tubes?

    That's not a good thing, is it?

    Fingers crossed you land on your feet DW.
