But (you knew this was coming): Quite a few players have stated that they are sick and tired of zone events. Because it interferes with their non event things.

[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't get the impression that the events Z is talking about are the same as Rikti or Zombie events. More like the House Fires in Steel and the Raves in Skyway.

I think the main issue with doing this is that it's largely failed as a concept. They did it in Steel and Skyway, they mostly get ignored, I assume they decided not to bother.

[ QUOTE ]
And would it not be better to forget about giving the mobs level and use the rikti engine for the mobs? That way everybody can join the fun if they like.

Good plan.

Can we stop this before we end up with yet another "Merge the Servers" thread?

The current resolution is fine, thought, to be fair, if it were me designing the UI, I'd try to set it up so that it would work on smaller screens. I have a tablet PC, for example, which I'd love to use this on, but it simply does not work if the screen size is too small.

Um, for the record, I'm on the same size and resolution as you, Mids.

Ah, my mistake then. They're all useless. Let's just leave it at that.

The may be ajusted, but I doubt they will ever make them give significant benifit for being logged out for less than 24 hours.

[/ QUOTE ]

Currently, however, the ones which give XP/Inf/Prs bonuses actually give a benefit, even if a very small one, under these circumstances. The WW teleport, Vanguard Merits, that kind of thing, give no benefit.

Low priority is a possibility, yes, but also actually changing the rate of accumulation is likely to be a very, very simple operation, so easy to do.

Doesn't really matter.

They work fine if you don't play that character for a few days.

As I said earlier, I suspect useless-if-you-play-your-character-every-day is WAI. It's to give less played characters a chance to keep up with the loot.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, sorry, rubbish. At least for things like the teleport power.

Yes, you're probably quite right about the ones which give you extra XP or Prestige or Inf, and those may well work under those circumstances. But you'd have to be logged out for days and days for the Wentworths thing to be useful to you. I figure 10 days would get you an hour's usage, which is about enough time to actually run a few missions and then want to jump back to sell gathered loot.

I rather expect to see some of these timers tweaked. You can defend them and the reason for the way they are set up as you wish, PRAF, but I think you'd have to admit that they do not all have to be correct, and some of them may be changed as the game gets played.

Gratz, Jed.

A cloudy morning with drenching rain which should clear by this afternoon will, at leas, not be too cold with a high of 8C. It's gusty, however, so expect it to feel cooler.

With the clouds clearing and the win dropping a little, it's going to be an overnight low of -7C, so wrap up warm. And you can expect the clear skies to continue into tomorrow, along with the cold.

And drive prices way up, since people could put things on for higher prices and pay no fee.

A discount might be a good idea, however.

well last time i looked its not in any of the preseance pool taunt powers unless its just not listed in the powers description.

[/ QUOTE ]

It isn't supposed to be, that's for sure. It was added to primary and secondary powers, IIRC.

Expect thick cloud and rain all day today in Paragon City with a 4C maximum feeling colder in the moderate winds. More rain expected tonight and a low of 3C.

Not much change tomorrow, perhaps a little less chance of rain.

With early showers becoming pretty steady rain today, the fact that the temperature is actually pretty warm is not going to be half so exciting. Expect a high of 16C, though that wind is going to make it feel a little cooler, and no one likes driving rain.

The rain continues into the evening, becoming showers over night. Expect a low of 2C.

Unfortunately, the rain will continue tomorrow, but the temperature is not looking nearly as warm as today.

I looked it up, yeah, fair enough. Just the over-abundance of attack rate debuffs. Cool.

Though you realise that quoting a combination of things which don't both reduce hits and number of attempts is not actually a valid rebuttal? You're just trying unsuccessfully to rub it in.

When you say +2 and +3, this is just level, and just minions is it?

Whatever. I generally can't stand villains.

That was what I remember of the reasons given in beta.

I could... but it's too easy a target.

The problem with Ice was it's all Defence, which means you don't get hit. Not getting hit, less often... not so good.

First of all there are a total of 79 people on these forums right now. that's at peak time ish.

[/ QUOTE ]

Forum peak time != Game peak time.

It was, apparently, terrible at building Fury. That's one bit of proliferation that won't happen.

Fair, but tbh, Bases are free. Just form a one man SG, create base, put nothing in it, or just decorate it as a bachelor(ette) pad. So, not a big problem if you had to log out in a base. But you don't.

Manticore has the same problem. No wonder he kidnapped her out of the bath.

Agreed. And the Globe is quite visible as having no person under it holding it up.



[/ QUOTE ]
Are you sure? i zoomed up that pic of the globe and it deff looks like the atlas statue to me, you can just see the head of atlas ( pointing the other way, to the left) above the building

[/ QUOTE ]

If anything, having zoomed in, it looks like the ruined version from RV. I see absolutely no evidence of Atlas under it, and the other buildings around it (as has been said) look nothing like Atlas Park.

the contents of saved .costume files and found that 4 colors were being saved for every costume piece

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed you are correct.

Interestingly, on the example I chose to look at, my Red Cap Daggers actually have non-zero values in three of the four colour lines, though only two are exposed for changing in the editor. One wonders what happens if you change the normally non-modifiable ones.

doubtful this is anything to do with an upgrade of graphics (sadly) much more likely is that this is just the artists interprtation of paragon which he/she created to fit in with the very detailed renders of the heroes.

[/ QUOTE ]

This sounds about right; just an artists impression of a virtual city.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. And the Globe is quite visible as having no person under it holding it up.

If, however, that is Atlas, then we're looking northward from Skyway, with Steel on the distance. I really wish the city did look like that. Notice... no War Walls...

[ QUOTE ]
What do you get for logging off in the base? As far as I can tell the only one related to SG bases is the Monitor Duty and thats the base portal, which I thought was the portal to access the base in the city zones.

[/ QUOTE ]

Monitor Duty kicks in if you log out inside your base, or beside a base portal.

That's because, when you log back in, you appear beside the base portal you entered your base from.


The game does not appear to be able to spawn an instance upon entering the game. If it did, you could get dumped back into missions on forced disconnects, and other such goodies. On that basis, it would seem that it is currently impossible to be spawned into the base.
