    Now, don't get me wrong, I'm sort of torn in this. If it's a national tradition etc, it's in keeping with the World Cup being held in South Africa, but honestly, that sound is driving me barmy during the matches!!

    Even during the England match last night, which had considerably less of the damn things than other matches, it was still drowning out the real atmosphere of a football match. I could barely hear any singing from the terraces, no football chants, not even the England band. France are already blaming the vuvuzelas for their poor performance as they couldn't hear each other over them (yeah I know, crappy excuse, almost as bad as grey shirts )

    The fact that it's being discussed at all shows there must be some issues with them.

    I had watched both the South Africa match and the England match, and gone away with a headache in both of them purely because of those Vuvuzelas. It should be banned, not only is it alienating every single team other then Africa but it is also disrupting commentary over the box and every other thing. I am usually fine with hearing chants and drums and all that, but this constant "buzzing" noise is down right ridiculous.

    In terms of the game, I was quite surprised on rooney's performance, I was really thinking the USA would attack him more and try and get him booked etc. Since really Rooney' is quite a landmark within the entire team.

    I am shocked at Phillips, to put it in as little words possible. I think he is a fool.
    No benefit to the team, at all.
  5. Or if you are not happy with something you create, request it from others , Im sure they'll lend a hand mate.

    World Cup 2010

    I don't know what to take from that match, in all honesty.

    Im not sure if I should be happy, sad, worried about the future matches, or what.

    Clearly USA did a good job, however they cant really boast about this match based upon the goalies fault. They did have a few good moments but yeah.

    Im not sure if I should be worried for england or what, ..match kinda confused me.

    Same, we had to do it with 3 trollers though. First team in europe to get the badge, but I did feel quite dissapointed on how "restrictive" the selection process was. Atleast this now allows others to attempt it, and most hopefully succeed them.
  9. Green Mitos finally fixed, Much appreciated to Castle for sorting that out.

    Finally it allows more players to get the MoLGTF badge, good stuff! <3.
  10. Praetorian Union, Loyalist Union, Resistance Union,

    Who is actually leading this anyway, Is it Damz or Lady A or what? hehe. Is this actually going ahead Damz?

    The Lore Wiki

    I would honestly do away with the FBSA and go fore something generic(you do lack unique however atleast it would be known accross the community).

    And as always, if assistance is needed in terms of digital art/website design, do get in touch. I am all for helping City of Heroes/Villains-based projects.
  12. I'd also be interested in assisting you Damz, if you decided to go ahead with this do get in touch mate.
    <3.
  13. Hey dude,
    Welcome back to the game!!
  14. You recapping on what exactly has changed has made me go all nostalgic and miss the old days, lol!

    Welcome back Moonblade!

    Global channels and super groups have done away with crowds of players looking for teams standing around in one spot.

    Super-sidekicking has virtually eliminated the need to find teams of particular levels.

    Travel between zones, especially on the hero side now have multiple alternatives than simply taking the tram or traveling to a gate.

    Power as well as zone changes have reduced hospital runs of old. For instance the Hollows now have it's own mini-hospital so you won't see low level players running from the Atlas hospital to the Hollows every few minutes. Same is true with the new Faultline which now has a great set of story arcs.

    Low level temp travel powers have made it so the sub level 14 crowd no longer need to hoof it everywhere.

    Changes that introduced halving of in mission debt coupled with mission completion bonuses moved the action from the streets into instanced missions.

    The result of all this is a quite noticeable reduction of characters flittering from here to there. You can find some crowds in the consignment markets trading but the sense of a zone being chuck full of characters is now, sadly, a thing of the past.

    I watched romulus do this yesterday. He did literally start running to the entrance of the map. Luckily he got aggroed before he could get out of his area.

    I would like animated hair, however don't think it would really come accross well within the game.

    I would really like to see more structure behind NPCs, currently they mindless walk around the city's with predefined scripts to say, and rarely ever see them do much else. More structure in terms of how they interact with the surroundings, more structure in terms of how they interact with the player, and how they interact night/day.

    Would also love to see NPC Vendors/NPC Story contacts to move around a bit, rather then standing like they have just stepped in cement!, one thing that I would love to see recreated into various other things would be the Mercy Island guy who is stood shooting on the platform. That kind of stuff for NPC's, or walking around etc. Would look really cool. More Unique.

    ___

    Next up is that I would love more of the very old powersets to be updated with new animation reels. I feel that with the three/four latest powersets released under the "new" team that you can really see a sign of new/fresh thoughts being placed into something. People are moaning about the animation times of the new powersets however I think so long as you admire the beauty behind the sets, its all appreciateble.

    The old sets do look majorly old, when you look at them by the side of a new set. More flash!


    ___

    I would also very much so like to see more auras, more wings.
  17. Yup, the hosts had some issue with the domain names and held it hostage however Beef is working on getting it resolved.

    Beef, PM ME! <3.
  18. you could also watch Some Mother's Do Have Em. also Merlin is due to be back soon!!, they are filming it right now! WHEE!


  19. Oh and.. happy birthday EMPulse! (ps: Ocho made me do this, totally. He did.)
