Scarlet Shocker

Welcome Avatea.

Good luck. I suspect you'll need it

Question: If i enhance range on my sniper, can i take someone out on the earth from the moonbase?



[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe, but you'll need to slot for Acc too

Space related zones are a bit more comicbooky than roman zones. I won't deny that ancient civilisations have never featured but just about every supergroup has some kind of space station/moon base, from the Avengers to the JLA.

(except the Defenders cuz they had Doc Strange and Valkyrie and Black Knight)

But yeah this has been rumoured for a long time. It's a nice dream but the moment they give us a shiny new zone there'll be loads of cries from the fanbase saying "what a load of &$%@, why didn't you revamp Boomtown and Eden instead of giving us new content?

So in the end we still come back to the five year old code that's part of the game we love but sure wasn't the best for a MMO game. Even more so, players that still have accounts on the US doesn't seem to be affected nearly as much by rubberbanding, connection issues, DCs, out-of-body experiences etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

Clearly the code on the US servers is different then

I like EBs/AVs. It's not about speeding through the missions. I like the fact that you get somewhere then have to stop and actually think.

Hippopotamus amphibius
Avian bipedal endothermic vetebrate
a brace of Ovis aries female ruminant quadrupeds

Quick thought: Shall we arrange some missions/get togethers for gatherage of temp powers?

Ok who's up for building this one again and doing it?

It's wise to restrain Gangrel as a general rule, really. Y'know, just in case.

Like he'd hate that, so much

I break your horsing about with some bad puns from The City Scoop.

I'm going to be completely honest when I say I don't hate the Rikti. The Traditionalists are pretty nice when you get to know them, and they're funny as hell when they've had a few drinks. Now the other day I met one named Hi'Fy, a communications officer with a penchant for human films. When we started discussing them, I couldn't help but laugh at the way he recited famous movie quotes. Here's some, and I hope you enjoy. Feel free to guess which is which and from what movie.

Designation: Buck. Objective: Relations with women.

Food: Royale with cheese. Flavor: Tasty.

Plan: Make him a offer. Refusal: Impossible.

Your speech: Directed at me?

Show me: The money!

Elementary: Dear Watson.

Necessity: Larger watercraft.

Admiration: Clever girl.

Gentlemen: Cannot fight here! Location: War Room!

My name: Hedley.

Good luck buddy and keep in touch. You know how

Riff aka Scarlet

Offical Post from GR.
Europe ain't going nowheres! ^^

Actually it's moving east at around 2cm per year

Sounds like a laff.... hit me up in game

[ QUOTE ]
For some reason that I don't understand, screenshots from the game always seem to be too dark.

It would be nice if the dev's could tweak the screenshot code to brighten them automatically.

[/ QUOTE ]

I experience this too. I'm not sure what the cause is or why but generally I have to fix screenies in Gimp or similar with a bit of a tweak

Is this useable with Pidgin?

[ QUOTE ]
Its amazing what a different look does to the Council, but 5th Missions are just much nicer

[/ QUOTE ]

That's cuz the Nazis had the best uniforms. Who remembers the Italian fascist uniforms under Il Duce?

Thanks for this GR, I guess you've had to push some buttons to be able to say this so it's appreciated

Good luck to you in the future and good luck to Avatea in her new role.

Why? You note Feline the larvae?

Jeeze with all the doom posts in this thread I wanna break out some leonard cohen records and gouge my eyes out with blunt spoons or something

wake up people. A FREE update allowing you to customise content cannot be bad for the game!

An interesting article Mumsy.

Sorry Scarlet but who is this Jeff Strain fellow?

[/ QUOTE ]
He's co-founder of Arena.net, executive programmar or such on guildwars.

[/ QUOTE ]

and now one of the directors of NC West - effecitvley he's the guy who has just made the guys in Brighton redundant

[ QUOTE ]
It dose look like they've decided to pull everything in under the NCwest banner i wonder if the demise i wonder if the failings of TR were the finale nail in the coffin of the last group of managers.

Also if there has been some kind of power grab / change in leader ship like some suggest what dose it mean for CoH as hole. i recon we may come of quite well the devs are already housed at NCWest so provided they can pull there fingers out and get some kind of official statement out to us before the lack of information spreads completely out of control.

They could also do with rather rapidly getting i14 out and live it'll go some way to ease the feelings of abandonment and keep us all distracted for at least a while (yes there will be shouts of its rubbish there's no content in it etc etc but there normal for a issue) after that they'll want to get i15 out for the anniversary maybe it wasn't there intention to do that but the hints dropped have pointed at that date so missing it will be perceived as a failure weather it truly is or not. the problem is i15 will need to be substantial to keep every one happy.

In other words there gonna be doing lots of damage control to the playerbase and the longer they leave it the more damage there causing as it is were all panaking like headless zombies in a burn patch its only a matter of time before those on the US boards start connecting lack of Dev posts to something going bad even if its not the case.

I've been saying more-or-less the same thing. However shockingly it's been handled (and there does seem to be some seriously over-inflated egotistical stuff going on...) but it could be ok for the game

I'm with FFM on this.

The old saying "No news is good news" doesn't always hold true. In this instance the absolute absence of communication from NC is raising more questions than it's answering. Without even a holding statement: "Bear with us and more will be forthcoming" is, frankly damning them.

It could be they are following the Denis Thatcher school: "It is better to say nothing and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

And frankly, if there is a shed-load of blood on various carpets at NCWest, they'll want the clean-up crew in there before they say a word.

Incidentally, Jeff Strain's blog had this image on it yesterday. Then it was mysteriously offline for a while and now it's back, that image is gone. With no additional content relating to that image to my knowledge I think that was a message being sent by him to the guys in the EU office - hence my thoughts that something of a coup's been staged.

Kinda wierd it's happening on Friday 13th too

Look on the bright side... just be glad you're not in the Sir Viv Richards' stadium in Antigua.

So cocking up the PvP aspect of the game seemed to put a bigger dent in the game than NCSoft were/are prepared to admit.

No surprise there then.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't get this.

For a start I don't think it's that easy to distinguish a PVP player from a PVE player in this game, and PVP is a relatively small part of the game. I can't see how changes in PVP had such a massive impact.
