Nope, Avatea advised me to use the report function, so use it I will. And get used to it, because it's going to be happening everytime I see such posts.

So a bunch of gamers got scammed in game. In his defense, scamming is NOT cheating in games, and is allowed in every MMO i've ever played.

GMs do not intervene with scam issues, or give players their stolen equips/items back. This guy probably spent ages working his way into a position of authority, then he took advantage of it and took tons and made a profit.

I salute him, i probably wouldn't have sold the money for real life currency, because in my country (England) healthcare is free, unless privte.

Still, well done to the man!

@Pyro, wrong. You wouldn't need a new client to update the gfx in CoX, where you get the knwowedge to make a claim like that I don't know (if you're actually a pro games designer then i apologise)

and @Londoner, I guess if that's how you see paragon studio's development skill then fair enough. I however happen to have a little confidence in them &gt;.&gt;

@Pyro, before people can play a game (quite obviously because it hasn't been released for example) You're not going to know how the gameplay features perform, compared to how they've been advertised.

Graphics are the first thing people see in a game.

And you quite obviously didn't read my point on the graphics updates. I said the minimum requirements WOULD NOT change, so people with their £1.99 computers can still run the game. The gfx bar would be able to be slid more to the right, but the left would stay the same.

I hope that's cleared that up for you. And CoX doesn't have it's own style. The graphics are just standard game textures that are nothing special. Look at any adventure game and you'd see similar textures plastered over every cave and what have you.

And @Londoner, of course they can develop graphics updates and work on content at once. They're a game development studio, and they know how to develop games. You don't focus an entire studio on 1 thing.

You have different departments working on different aspects of the game. Just a broad example, art department for designing textures and meshes for new objects and stuff, sound design for creating the amazing SFX, and the game designers who are the creative geniuses telling the different departments what to create.

No, you NEED new graphics to sell a game as computers nowadays are getting more powerful. Even the cheap ones can outperform the ones of 2 years ago by miles.

I want a graphical overhaul, and the advantages of it from a business point of view shouldn't be overlooked.

Yes i agree adding new content is always a good way to go, but it CANNOT hurt adding better graphics, whilst keeping the minimum requirements the same. There is absolutely no reason for you not to want a gfx revamp.

And you're just one person no offence, what you don't see in a game is pretty irrelevant. Graphics are the 1st thing people see in a game. When they watch the videos, see the screenshots, there is nothing more foremost to advertise a game with than graphics.

CoX is dated in that aspec. CO is different because the cell shaded comic book style is intentional.

New graphics? Hope so!

New content, zones, powersets, costume parts? Bring them on plox!

New game mechanics and gameplay features: PLEEEASE!!

This intrigues me. Maybe GR will make up the the abysmal dissapointments that were i15 and the forthcoming i16.

Good luck Gall

(and I have tried ignoring GG and all you end up with is about 10 pages of "you are ignoring this user")

[/ QUOTE ]

It's hard I know.

And @FFM, my mistake. I assume everyone on the internet is male unless told otherwise for obvious reasons.

Yeah, but I would have hoped moderators would actually utilise the disciplinary powers at their command instead of lecturing the people who were defending who were defending the leaving user?

And as you noted, GG's post caused this thread to be derailed by the people who rushed to the defense of the 'departing hero'

It'd be really helpful if you consider 'infractions' in their context, rather than just their factual significance.(for example, even though me globey and effy "named and shamed" it was justified because GG took a stab at an innocent poster) So are you going to delete GGs post or give him an infraction or something then?

If nothing changes, this will probably keep happening, as you are now aware (if you weren't before) alot of people have contempt for some of the stuff GG posts, and believe it or not, I DON'T enjoy conflict on these forums.

If you don't want this to become a regular issue (which believe me I don't either) it's going to take more than stern talking to.

The point i'm getting at is, for a moderator, playing peacekeeper won't solve all the problems. I bet even after considering everything GG instigated into this topic, still nothing is going to happen to him.

And the naming and shaming is justified in this case, GG had no place to be making those kind of sarcastic remarks to someone who is just trying to get some goodbyes from the people they played with. It's obvious if members of the forum don't act in defense of each other, flamers and spammers are going to be getting away with stuff like this left and right, because there's no one else to stop it.

If X is antagonizing anyone then it is those who are feeling antagonized who have a problem not X.

Not really, as you can see Effy was also agitated by X's stupid remarks about a leaving player. Globey also noticed. And so did I.

Was there any need to say what he said? No. If he hasn't got anything meaningful to contribute, any smart person would agree he should just stay shut and not say anything at all, then we can avoid disscussions like this right? Thought so.

Also, in addition to this, i agree with the poster above me.

Nicely said effy, and i'll cya ingame at some point. On another note, cya Gall, I'm sure you'll have fun doing whatever else you find to fill your time with, be it a game or something else.

You dont respect or appreciate the growth of the game then. If these things are not done and the devs only add more missions... then the game will stand still.

[/ QUOTE ]I just think new content like powersets, gameplay mechanisms, zones, missions, TFs/SFs and maps (give us additional textures and layouts for offices, warehouses etc. pleeeease) would do more for the growth of the game than something like power-color customisation. Which is nice to have I guess but I'd take a moonbase with some new enemy groups over it any day.

^This

i15 is here, let's get all excited and- oh wait, it's just a new tf followed by 2 poor costume items. And it took a NEW art department member to come up with these? Get your old guys to work on some art stuff, and have the game designers come up with new powersets for us -.-

the next super booster pack might as well be i16 and 15 for me, I find it more exciting than both of them combined. Coloured powers and a 5th column tf, 2 (poor) new costume sets, and more cossie change emotes. *sigh*

After 3 years of running around both red side and blue side I was getting bitter without even realizing it because of the little to no friendly characters out there.
Now don't get me wrong ... But I think all of us had this kind of feelings creep up on us from time to time ...
Be it by a never ending wave of tells to PL or farm, be it by broadcast polution or be it by any form of loss of friendly interaction.

But today all that changed.
I had the honour of meeting the legendary Mother's Love in Atlas Park. And she was helpfull and so friendly, so much that I've found new passion and energie for this fantastic game.

Sometimes it's small things like a friednly word that realy gives a hero(or villain) the true strength to go on.

So Mother's Love, where ever you may be, thank you with all my heart.

I'm an individualist personally, never met this ML guy, and since I VERY RARELY run heroside, not much chance I will.

Go, and make a name for YOURSELF, young one x)

The science booster has impressed me far more than i15. In fact, i've pretty much forgotten what i15 is, anyone care to remind me of the main features?

isn't it the return of the 5th column?

I am NOT open to tri form builds however

I tried one and failed. In lobster form i could hardly tank anything, and in nova I was a gigantic squishy worm.


So someone pro please provide a lobster/worm dual build for a warshade preferably focusing on damage!!! Thanks in advance ;_;

Then add [US] or [EU] depending on the person to their global name.

I would love this because it means more characters for my slot-consuming altitis but if they were merged there would be problems with character's names along with SG names.

[/ QUOTE ]

Again.. like when I posted this idea/suggestion completly worked out, people are not reading... one server list with each server untouched on the list.

The name proble will be in youre global name only. And that is a lot less of a problem to change if you have too...

[/ QUOTE ]

^This.

Put the US servers on the server list. That way every US/EU player can choose a server they want, and would have to make characters with availible names on that server.

Just like making a char on union, then making one on defiant. Same concept.

And +1 to alpha above me. I can see it already

Americans: Go brush your teeth you european f***s
Europeans: Go eat a burger, or better yet get some excersise, or better yet give it a few hundred years and you might actually have some history and culture!!!

You don't pay £400 for an Nvidia GTX 295 graphics card with 98 billion texture fill rate per second (which is more than double of my GTX 280) to play low-end game.

I have one of these. CoX doesn't work correctly with it. Can't have FSAA, Depth of Field Effects, Bloom Effects, Bloom Amount and Desaturation Effects turned on or it becomes an image flickering seizure inducing nightmare. Also, PhysX effects aren't available.

So pick another example of GfX card... as others have said, this isn't the card for MMOs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fix your drivers, or maybe it's a hardware incompatability. Known issues get fixed eventually anyways. The card is a monster, and is for all games, i'll get one next month and tell you how it goes

OH MY GOD I16 IS HERE!?

This is the 1st exciting news i've heard about cov since i14, even though i14 didn't exactly excite me.


New cossie parts? new emotes? A new NPC with an awesome new service?

I think the designer who came up with this should get abig bonus x)

The bottom line is this. When people buy new PCs nowadays, they're going to be better than most of the PCs people have had for 5-6 years.

New PCs are more expensive, and people who buy them are already going to be able to play most games at a suitable level.

Enthusiasts will splash out for more beasty PCs to play games. Graphics and computer hardware are doubling around every 18 months, and it has done so for the last 10 years.

The world isn't going to be stuck in the past because some people refuse to upgrade, it'll just leave you behind.

This game could CERTAINLY do with a gfx upgrade, to make it more marketable to graphics enthusiasts with amazing computers.

You don't pay £400 for an Nvidia GTX 295 graphics card with 98 billion texture fill rate per second (which is more than double of my GTX 280) to play low-end games.

This game can, and should get a graphics update.

Awesone, so your bane build is definately worth slotting I take it x)

And yeah, i like purples too xD

Wrong. If you say that, then i can say 90% o the playerbase has already left because there is CURRENTLY a maximum setting that some of you people out there wo't be able to run.

[/ QUOTE ]
When the last graphics update was with CoV people left because it broke their game. I don't know how many it was, but I do know two people who did, personally. So I know it did happen, maybe they were the only two.

I don't think a graphics update is needed, certainly not a major overhaul to appeal to the far fewer people who have amazing machines.

WoW worse graphics more players - Obviously the graphics aren't what people play it for.

CO worse graphics newer game - Cryptic plan on releasing a game that looks ten years old as far as i can tell.

AoC great graphics, shame about the game - By all accounts it looks great yet the game is [censored] and the subs (last I heard) were in free fall.

[/ QUOTE ]

Far fewer people yes, but that doesn't detract from the fact some people would want to enjoy graphics overhauls. I don't care if people leave the game because of a graphics update.

Why would your friends leave the game because of a graphics update? The minimum requirements will NOT change, and so they and their £1.99 computers can still run the game.

I'm thinking your friends were probably a little upset that people with good computers were going to benefit from a gfx update while they couldn't, and so they didn't want it to happen.

That's a rather selfish way of thinking, I think :P

No doubt that is the case for some people, but a GFX update really wouldn't hurt.
