Your view on the rules making wrong things right REALLY is obscure, its a good job not many people share it or the world would be a [censored] up place.

[/ QUOTE ]Laws and rules represent what the society has chosen to allow. Therefore, as long as someone acts by them, I have no right to demand that they be punished for it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Common Law (at least in the UK) does not work like this. It is highly changeable due to the system of precedence. Thus someone may bring a lawsuit against someone who has protection due to precendence under common law and win, overturning that precendence. However, we are of course not dealing with a legal system. So you are right that in this situation the thief did not break any in game rules so can not be punished. I agree this does not condone his actions. Maybe a call for reform of the code of conduct is in order? Perhaps a discussion on this would be interesting and flame-free. How could a change in code of conduct be implemented that would (a) provide adequate protection for the normal user (b) provide adequate freedoms for the normal user (c) be enforceable by the GMs?

altho a change in the code of conduct would make it easyer for the suport team to hand out punishment or atleast help out in this situation it wouldnt make the problem go away what is realy needed is a complete overhawl of the permision system itself either by a bin by biun basis so that you set who canacess storage bins at what rank and if needs be lock one or two so only top ranks get them or by type of bin insp bins have one setting salvage another and enhancements something different again both these systems would give leaders greater control over access and greatly limit the chances for theifs to actuly do damage in the first place

you find yourself answering a thread in the forums saying 'you kow youve plade to much cox when'

as a few have stated this is very unfortunit to have happened to the Op but its not the first time its happened and the way things are it wont be the last either.

becuase of the way the rules and storage access there isnt a whole lot the suport staff can do if its a one time thing but because this has become such a problem its been made clear a few times that people who make a point of doing this regular will be punished we just need to make sure the suport team know who dun what and when.

what i think is the most important thing when prblems like this crop up isnt how the suport team dealw ith it but how the comunity itself deal with it, in almost every time an sg has had this happen to them we have alll seen people volentering to make it right out of there own pocket myself included and this speaks alot for the comunity as a whole in my book.

im with praf on this one i agree that the heats do need looking at to be tweeked but there not in any way less of an At than veat having played both pb and ws as well as a crab a bane and a widow i have to admit i still prefer my human form pb above them all the damage was great in a packed team it spent its time performing crowd control with a number of aoe and ranged while using its few melee attacks to keep straglers of the squishs. but not having the forms it ment slots were never a problem so had all my powers slotted very nicely by the early 30s and because of that it was the took that actuly changed my mind about pvp something i wasnt to bothered about but now enjoy quite often

the bigist problem is that the learning curve with heats is so high you need to leanr fast first how you would like to use it then how to slot it properly for that use by sticking to a jack of all trades you do end up with it slightly lack luster but played skillfuly it still works great.

the final thing i have to say is the most amazing team i ever played was an all heat team in all most half the time i would normal lvl to 30 we got an entire team od 8 there np with limited deaths normaly because one of us werent paying atention and the damage was amazing i sugest trying something like that once before slating the entire AT the it has been

idont think the hero epics are quite as bad as that for instance the shifted for is all about being that form and the ability to tranforms is a slottable power of its own and the way you slot that power directly effects everything that works in that spasific form for instance in squidy form you can buff recovery and to hit probibly more but cant remember to be honest. so once properly slotted squidy cna make a decent balster type able to deal alot of damage rther easily.

then dwarf a prity damb good tank form ye its limited on attacs but the ones it dose have properly sloted make for grabing agro and holding it very easy giving team mates a nice chance to take mobs out at low risk

as for the human form you choose your powers wisely and you can make a bloody great toon with decent damage at close range thats more than able to pvp and pve one of my best pvp toons being a human form pb.

the big problem i feel witht the hero epics is on thing slots to build a decent alround toon out of it that is a truely jack of all trades there just isnt enuff slot choices to make sure your powers are used at there very best

i dont know if im the best person to answer this coz i tend to work a set to try and do something with it people tell me cant be dun.

as for being scaed of a set because farmers use it cant say iveever let it stop me but i do understand whats its like to have a toon farmers like to hide behind to make there life easyer(my lvl 50 granite) but i didnt make hime to farm with and ggeneraly avoid farm teams like they have a very nasty smell.

my advice is work what you like despight hat people say ingame if you work a set and do it well people wont care if others use it to farm or not just that you use that set well your way

Is all this really needed?

I will explain. On friday I paid for 5 new slots on Defiant and after that was done I went to transfer my level 28 Scrapper Agent Ti to defiant and it told me I was suspected of Fraud, I thought ok thats not right, checked my account and I wasnt subed to the game, tried to re-enter my card details and said SUSPECTED FRAUD!

At this point i'm thinking [censored] send petition to Surport about it early friday afternoon got some replys and asked me for some details, sent them off... and nothing.. havent heard anything from them for about the last 40 odd hours (Guessing they dont do the weekends).

So logged onto my account today and tried to sub to my account again and this time IT WORKED! but I made a mistake I had only put 1 month payment so I thought "Opps I'll change that" tried again for the 6 months and guess what... FRAUD SUSPECTION again.... will it ever end ??

[/ QUOTE ]

had something similar to this happen to me recently because i pay for 2 acounts so can end up with quite a few trasactions at once from nc
. i had to go to my credit card company tho to get a decent explination and basicly with payment systems like the one used for this game the credit companys watch very very closely and more than one or 2 transations in a short time and the bloke payments for 24hours but after that 24 hour mark it should be all normal again untill the next time it gos in a huff with you

congrats on that one dark lords have been working on it for a while we have the base ready and prestige saved but eith only about 3 of us who actuly pvp he badge tself is slow going

well first of welcome back to the game, i dont remember you but dont think i ver new you to start with so not all bad i supose

altho i lik alot of others have been stuck in this situation i dont think its an idea that will ever hit live any time in the past something similar has been spoke about there has always been the coment from rednames of if your not sure about a set or how to do a respec copy the toon to the test server first then try it there where no harm is dun to your poor lil toons like the black doom of the delete button

this is actuly a very good idea that could benifit every storage in base or the stores in the game a simple lil fix as well

[ QUOTE ]
lol well my original post said to change the animations for a faster smoother ride

[/ QUOTE ]

im with infurnes on this one as we discused in game, i think MA is actuly a lil bit to slow and clumky compared to how those moves would actuly be performed in real life
(speaking from experiance to the most part) i think the whole set should flow together alot more than it curently dose similar to the way DB works at the moment

1. Apartments - I had a very good idea for this, maybe make a extra zone as the hotel, which you can run around and find secret areas. I was thinking you could buy 3 types of apartments. First one is basic (which is free but the stuff is old, weary, etc), second is middle-class (costs 5000 inf and items are decent enough) and the thirs is advanced (costs 20000 inf, items are very tidy/neat/clean). And maybe after buying your apartment you could further customize it to your own liking by adding items using the same style of the base creator. You could add lighting, electronics, kitchen appliances, etc. These would cost some little inf (eg, 100 inf for a lamp and 500 inf for a normal, small TV) but more advanced ones would cost more.

[/ QUOTE ]

This has alreayd been suggested and slated on the boards as something the devs cant and wont do, unless its been changed at all? but as far as i know it hasnt

rest sounds ok though

[/ QUOTE ]

I would like to see a confirmation of this. A post will do.

[/ QUOTE ]

apartments weas the origonal idea before bases came about and it hasnt realy been slated last time i think it was posi comented on it the responce was they would like to bring it eventuly but its low on the priority list with alot of other more iimportant things first

Attempting to drag this topic kicking and screaming back on topic:

I've said it before in other threads, but this is one of the few arcs that actually makes playing a villain on CoV actually feel like its a villain, a stone cold evil killer type villain, as opposed to the bland thug-for-hire type arcs that seem to populate the rest of CoV (which is not to mention the times we have to save the world, far too frequent for my liking). It needs more of this type of arc.

Yeah what happens in the arcs is wrong...very wrong! But that is in part fun, to feel so evil! Of course its all make believe, its no different to an actor who enjoys playing a baddy in films/tv. Its good to be bad every now and then!

[/ QUOTE ]

i agree copletely tis the reason i enjoyed this arc as well as it was truely evil

I see people twisting GGs words XD

[/ QUOTE ]

Except we aren't...

[/ QUOTE ]

Well I am not getting into spam for post counts with the are, are not, are too.

This is [censored] ridiculous.

[/ QUOTE ]

So now I'm ridiculous for having an opinion?

Did I at any point insult GG? Did I call her insulting names or anything that could be considered offensive?

Or did I express my opinion about how she phrased one of her posts? I've shown this thread to a few people now and they've all read it exactly the same way as I did. Either that means GG meant exactly what she said there or she has said something else in a way that has been easily misinterpreted, but as she's yet to clarify what she meant, I'll stand by my original opinion and leave it to GR to moderate it.

[/ QUOTE ]

seeing owlong GGs been about the forums and almost never said anytihng bad or bothered anybody in any major way well apart from never letting up about animated hair i would prefer some people give her the benifit of the doubt on this one

when i first read the post i imidiatly saw it going to stat something simpley because it apeared to be a very poorly worded responce and it could be taking as a simple responce about the contacts and nature of the game or an insult to the people who enjoy playingthe game for the slightly over the top content like this and for the record im one of te people that did actuly enjoy this arc because of how over the top it go's.

but in the end let us remember this is a game and no matter what side you play blue or red good or evil it is just a game with some very nicely writen works of fiction thats all.


on a slightly topic related i would actuly like to see counter story arcs so on heros side you would be say working for longbow being sent out to stop these arcs from taking place and vice versa so the villians could then try and stop heros in a similar fasion wouldnt be hard to slip a sig hero or villian into the right places amung the arcs to represent the part of one of us

altho not exactly the best advert for the comunitys gamers it is technicly on topic as it is about atleast in a very small part game atleast forums related, but my personal opinion is i hope the bloke end up next to some of the inmates hes tasered a few times. i might not be a fan or being all nicey nicey with preisoners but there is a limit

i dont think restricting the iops to one per sg would work coz a large part of getting to the secure plot size is being able to have more than on iop, but i could see the use of being able to trade iops between oher sgs or coaltion members.

i still think there should be some sort of pvp element to raids as they are fun if you enjoy pvp at all but it dose exclude huge portion of the games player base by forcing a pvp element into it. just seems to me it would work alot better haveing two systems in place one for the pvpers and one for the pve's as the cop itself is pve anyway.

i have to admit that some sort of pve base raid maybe with only a prestige bonus for winning obviousely to avoud expliots this would need to be limited to how often you can do it but would still be a fun even t for sg's

lets start with saying hello to all our spandex clad freinds out there in hero land, Lords of Light is a brand new group created as a counterpart to Dark Lords of the Underworld a well established villian sg here on union.

after some time we desided it was time we made ourselfs a home on the blue side and Lords of Light was born. We are looking to run this sg the same as Dark lords basicly hereo to enjoy the game as much as possible and try and make it fun for our members as we go.

We are looking for any new or old members who would like the challange of building up a sg from scrach with a bunch of vet leaders and gamers or just somebody who wold like to see what its like to be around at the start of an sg

we are also looking for a couple of coalitions from active sg's willing to help us on our way as we will be limited in out telepad abilitys for a while and having the other groups there in coalition can always be a laff when the banter gets going.

well thats all i can think to say for now so happy hunting you lot

been a long while since i posted on here so i figured a quick note would be nice

the group is stil going strong with alot of new members filling our ranks of late so welcome to all the newbes make yourself at home and leave the beer in the fridge alone its mine

we have also just created a new hero counterpart group called Lords of Light launched earlyer tonight. all our members of dark lords are welcome to plant heros they may with us and maintain the same rank they have already earned on the evil side

as for any of our coalitions out there if you have hero sgs we would like to set up coalition with them as well after all we are gona need help with telepads and the likes for a while oh and the comunity between all our groups works well so why not use it both sides

we plan on running a few sfs over the coming weeks so keep an eye on our forums and motd on the global channelf or updates on them but most of all happy hunting you lot

there is one other thing they could do and thats set it so you can only get rewords from a created arc or misison the firsdttime you run that spasific one then every time after that you dont this would limit some of the possible expliots and still allow for decent creativity

what i would do is bring back the cop but remove the pvp aspect of it altogeter andinstead introduce some sort of pvp sg raid ranking with some sort of pvp only reword that has nothing to effect pve same with the iop awarded from the cop remove any bonus during pvp

its not the best solution but this way it coveres everybodys needs and wonts as best they can without breaking the game comepletly

[ QUOTE ]
Maybe they could make base raids set the numbers to be used, so if you had only 5 who wanted to PvP, then set the number of attackers to 5 as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

that dose sound like a good idea but garented that would get lods of complaints after all that could be explioted easy enuff and might be fair to the pve groups but its unfair to the pvp groups,.. begining to understand why the devs have been ignoreing foxong the problem lol

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
last time i asked about this i got flamed to death that it dead broken and never to return...... but i still beleieve

[/ QUOTE ]

It was dead broken but honestly I couldnt see what made it so damn hard to fix.

[/ QUOTE ]

from what they say was wrong basicly giveing everybody in the sg a mission to do it ment those not wonting to do it couldnt do other missions so the problem was finding a way to have two missions active at once the cop for those taking part and something else for the rest, coure ther emight have been alot more to it underneath but if this was the only problem it was just a matter of seting up a tf/sf for 3 teams (24) instead of the normal 8 this means only those that join it get locked into the mission

but like i said ther might have been a hell of alot more to it


id like to see the cop return soner rather than later but i do understand why people dont like it in its current form. the idea of forceing people into pvp dosntsit well with me even thos im a pvpv fan

our group dark lords would love to do the cop but there is only about 4 or 5 of us that actuly pvp so altho we owuld easily be able to pull of the pve cop defending the base and anyiop gained would be a nightmare to say the least
