And someone else who's name I forget is doing those photo manipulations which I consider artistic as well. Unfortunately, I stink at remembering names. At any rate, I thought his/her last post was neat showing the images they were using to create their next piece.

That's the AV Tyrant. Big AV filled story arc usually received from a PI contact in your late 40's.

Here's one I did when I was learning how to work with demos.

So far, having too much fun with being a Mafia Maul and ordering Thugs around. I'm a bit concerned about how much enjoyment I get out of seeing and hearing the two pistols come out, load a round and then fire.

One small complaint. I notice the Equip Thugs animation is the same as the mercenary MM equip. I'd much preferred them tossing the thug a big wad of money and they shove it in their pockets, or something like that. Seems to fit the thug personna a bit more and how they are motivated by money. Just a suggestion

How about you just petition them?

Purposely camping in the hospital and thus denying bounty actually does get a response from the GMs, often in the form of the macro-ed account being logged out thus freeing up the bounty...

Any other zone but SC it's fine....but in SC it could actually be seen as a form of griefing...

I petitioned one this weekend. Got the emails thanking me and stating they can't say whether or not any action is/was taken against the person; and no confirmation as to whether it is an exploit or not.

Personally, I think if someone is in the base, in the hospital, in range of the drones for 15mins or more, then it should check to see if they are bounty for anyone, if so then set a new bounty for those people.

These buffs going to carry into arena matches? Logic dictates 'no', but then again that seems like a 'special time of need' when they'd really matter.

That's what I was wondering, can you wear them into PvP?

<-- I'm so original

The only item on my Defender wishlist is the ability to buff myself. I realise this is probably more of a game mechanics thing since no one can target themselves, but I do wish it could be resolved.

I think a 6 hour warning would be enough to be honest, rather than have something like a 24 hour notice of attack whereby the whole feeling of this being a 'raid' rather than a staged event is lost.

To be franky I don't see a problem with unannounced raid since the difference between a good supergroup and a bad supergroup is one which is able to effectively defend their bases. We now have coalition chat which means the best connected SGs will ALWAYS have people around to defend a base.

But since alot of people feel that this might turn base defending into a 'job' then clearly another option should be explored. Something that is a compromise between the spontanious and planned. Thats why I suggest a 6 hour warning which is done in such a way that it doesn't seem like an appointment and does have a sense of urgency.

Since a base raid starts with a portal opening into the base from a hostile location it would make sense that thebase defences would detect abnormal energy signitures which would altert the SG to a raid in progress. The portal effect would start small and grow more and more obvious within the base to add tension to the who raid and make it a little more cinematic. A 6 hour building up window would be an ideal solution as it allows the SG members online to organise a defence. This again means that there is a difference between a bad and a good SG, a really well organised group would have a website and forum which allows them to get out notification to people who are outside the game.

I'd say that this would be a nice compromise to ensure a decent showing at the base while also making it seem like a hostile attempt on the base rather than something done by appointment. If you start getting into 8 or even 10 hour notification then a base raid just doesn't feel urgent enough.

Frankly I'd like to see a maximum of 3 hours notification but some might still say thats too short to organise a defence.

Nope, do the math, 6 hours isn't sufficient. If you are smart enough to figure out the time difference between the UK and the states, then I'm sure you can figure out why 6 hours isn't enough.

Needs to be 24 hours.

The way Cryptic is doing it, is perfect. Sending out notifications does nothing if no one is online. This is avoiding the alarm clock raids held in games like DAoC. Setting an appointment so that there is fair play is perfectly acceptable and shows a willingness to make sure their game stays balanced.

Woohoo! Time sure flies when you're having fun. Happy Anniversary CoH!

LOL, this is great. I always wondered how others did as well, I go for the combined 'ts' sound like in tsetse fly or however you spell it. Else without the 't' it sounds like an insult to the Native American tribe of the Sioux.

Well maybe you should check into Kheldians not beeing able to solo a mission because they are so week, and we cant kill a minion with a quantum gun without a ton of inspirations.

[/ QUOTE ]

Currently on test they have increased the damage Kheldians do in human form. Give them time. The mission scaling and tanker/scrapper armor issues have been around a lot longer than Kheldians. They'll get to them.

Well done! You know, you keep doing great stuff like this and we'll just expect better and better I can not wait to see how you guys handle PvP. I'm excited!
