Always pays to read to the end before replying, Scarlet.

I'd happily part with 100mil for someone to take me from 1-50 in a month or so

Edit to add: [ QUOTE ]

what if someone often u animated hair???? bet u say yes then. exspecially if its a limited to one person and tht person was offering to u

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope. She wouldn't

[ QUOTE ]
and uhmmm....what about the speed?
i see no speed in hover, it's even slower then running without sprint on....
i already said that the speed is limited higher in the sky, so the first 2 meters is as fast as run + sprint(and maybe even so fast that haste works with it) but higher up you have a small speed penalty.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hover.

The clue is in the name: It's not "aerial manoeuvers." If you need speed from it there are many suggestions within for improving the speed if you want it, but frankly the only improvement I'd make is give it a tad more defence, if that.


Edit to add:

[ QUOTE ]

Also make a bing to toggle between hover and fly if you need the speed at a moments notice. "/bind button4 "powexec_name Fly$$powexec_name Hover"
works well. Or use two buttons if you prefer, like button4 for fly, button5 for hover.

Thanks this is really useful

NO! Emphatically no!

I play the game for the pleasure of playing it and levelling is part of joy of it. Out of the 6 50s I have only one or two get regular outtings, but my lowbies get a fair bit of rotation.

To me, the bulk of the game is the journey, not the destination and I wouldn't pay, nor would I be paid, to level. I do, however have some pacts with friends and I'm looking forward to teaming with them.

(Side note to add I'm surprised those kind of ads are legal/permitted on the forums.)

Speaking personally I'm very happy on the UK servers. I find it's pretty easy to find a team and it suits me.

I would not like to play outside of my time zone but I do appreciate that it's difficult for the OP (tho I suspect he won't have too much trouble being online next summer during the English day time ) but I also feel that a region transfer would denude the server of players and harm the EU community.*

*not because there's anything intrinsically better about the US servers but human nature tends to go "Oooh shiny, let's check it out"

I think the problem with the top 100 is that it's fundamentally meaningless. It's purely a measure of prestige earned during its history and some groups have been around a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time.

Sure groups go through phases where they are less active and then more so - it's often cyclical. That shouldn't invalidate the groups that have already achieved, simply because they're having a quiet month.

Maybe what's needed is a series of indicators that are selectable:

Total Prestige Earned, Prestige in the last 30 days, Active Players in the last 3/6/12 months etc.

Those kind of stats, whilst not exhaustive, would give a potential newcomer a far better set of data to make an informed choice.

The alternative is to believe what the recruiter tells you and see what happens when you get in! If you don't like it, you're not obligated to stay.

Indeed, the mirror spirit looks very good. In fact the whole faultline looks superb now. You can see that the developers are getting more accustomed to the design tools. And dare do stuff they wouldn't touch before. I would love it when they would restyle some of their earlier work. Including mrs liberty.

[/ QUOTE ]

Correction: The old crew headed by War Witch were highly accustomed to the tools but I think the team has grown so fast for I13/14 that it's taken them too long to hit their straps, hence I13 is the buggiest since I7

Edited to add: Yes the Merit Vendors look dreadful

ok dunno if this is a sensible question or not but I do like to max my mids when I'm using it and sometimes the text can be a bit small. Would it be possible to offer it in a choice of resolutions?

How about the Day Trader award gives a discount to the WW teleporter?

10,000 is a bit spendy for a one-shot item = especially with Ouroboros giving such close access, so why not kill two birds with one stone?

Every hour logged out in WW gives a 5% discount from the cost of the AH Teleporter. Make it cumulative, so that time in game doesn't make it wear off, and so after 20 hours you're guaranteed to get one for free: A useful power, for not very long but you gotta use it before you can get a 2nd one.

Problem solved.

Wow, Scarlet, you're really nice, aren't you?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nice? I prefer to think pragmatic.

You came out with some assertions that you can't back up. I asked you some specific questions you've totally chosen to ignore and then you blame the technology when called on an argument.

'Nuff said

[ QUOTE ]
Almost all of the latter is NOT what I said.

I would've pointed out the pooints, but thanks to the friendly "form no longer valid message", it's not worth it anymore. Damn forum.

[/ QUOTE ]

How very convenient

What about if you make it so that you purchase a temp power with a specific number of merits... for example a Tier 1 power takes 10 merits, and a tier 9 takes 90

Each has a finite duration, say like an hour of game time... (not unlike the temp powers from bank jobs which are valid for 2 hours) and cannot be selected again.

Limit that to only one temp power possible at any given time and it becomes a bit more realistic.

Imagine a fire blaster with Fulcrum Shift or an elec blaster with MoG up

What fun... but when it's gone... it's gone

Some names that came to me somewhat randomly whilst chuntering through some fan fic ideas:

Dead Mime
Dead Meme

(couldn't make up my mind I guess :P )

Last Martini - probably a fatalistic villainous squishy on a last hurrah

Not bad... a touch sperical but good

/suggestion

Instead of a pointless (opinion based on experience) teleport power that's barely going to get used, why not instead replace it with removing the consignment fee for transations for as long as the logout effect is active?

[/ QUOTE ]

Would mean people could log out their toons for 24 hours then sell all their uber-valuable stuff. It could potentially save them millions

I notice they are migrating other fora, from smaller games first to test this. Is moving both TR posts sufficient?

Nice touch.

Excellent thanks.

Very impressive and to be applauded....

Actually "Cropper" does have a ring to it

Crupper? (possible to substitute the "u" for an "a")

I had predicted (wrongly as it turns out) that we would have gotten a new boxed set at around Issue 11 or 12. We're way overdue and yes, we should get some kind of update

Toughie

I shall indulge in lengthy cogitation, though I fear my resultant musings may be somewhat specious
