Here is the justification. Do you get a kill credit when you drone someone? Nope.
The type I'll drone are the thankfully rare players who, while hibernating, fill the broadcast with language and insults that are certainly reportable. These rare lads need to learn a lesson in sportsmanship that is well applied with droning--the Happy Hand of social Darwinism.
I had a big mouth my first time in RV and crossed a line--got droned, learned the lesson.
I didn't mean to imply I used this as a standard tactic in PvP--apologies for the confusion. -

Two years ago, Manti said they only released 1/6th o' the content developed. This year, I heard from War Witch that it was 1/3rd, so there is still material out there. However, the course o' the game has taken it away from that direction and more towards co-op and generally more travel-friendly zones.

I don't think they should necessarily revamp the Shadow Shard, but I'd definitely be in favor of some added content to it.

Quote:Thanks for the info on the HeroCon SS chat. I really appreciate it, Cobalt!Originally Posted by Cobalt_Azurean
Shadow Shard revamp/co-op came up at HeroCon, and the devs took a poll from the audience, whom most seemed in favor o' it. However, as they said the year before, it takes nearly the same amount o' effort to revamp as it is to create absolute new content for whatever faction. And they are always wanting and working on new content for the masses. So chances are, it's not goin' to happen. But they seemed open to the idea, which is at least a start.
And I agree. The Shard is fantastic.
Watched a vid of the keynote; you looked quite happy to be there

What has changed in the last 2 weeks that has changed the heroes from owning the zone?
I have noticed a new vg presence in RV, could it be that?? -

Oh and Shay you know blasters can get hibernate too :P You can't complain about it if you have access to it too, just the same as a villain can't complain about droning, unless hes dumb and can't figure out to stay out of the base.
Of course, YMMV. -
Quote:This. This would make me very happy too...I love the PvP dynamics where its not 'just kill'--such as bounties, launching rockets, etc. PvP is fun with a goal other than a kill count.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
I'd think this work best, right offhand, as an arena option. At least to begin with.
I agree, MB, that this would be a cool arena option! -
I'm not a programmer so I'm only guessing on the work required. But I miss base raids and would love to see more PvP choices. I don't know about other servers, but on Champion Warburg, Siren's Call and Bloody Bay are always empty....well, BB isn't always cause people want Shivans. :-)
-
I love PvP. But every bloody vill has [Hibernate]. Becomes way too frustrating.
So I started dealing with this by tp'ing constantly [hibernating] vills in front of the base drones. Only to get called cheap. This happened last week....a vill who constantly hibernated justified it by saying "I spent a power on the slot and its legit. So what's the issue?" Yet whined when I tp'ed him. So I copied and pasted his answer. :-)
But yeah....lets get more heroes out there! -
THe Shard is the biggest untapped resource in the game...huge. Multiple zones. But all that's there is a few TFs. It needs mad love.

While chatting with folks on Champion this morning, Grimdemon (a true Champ!) came up with this great suggestion for Safeguard missions.
Why not allow for a pvp option? Imagine...heroes try to prevent a robbery being perpetrated by actual player vills and vice versa. Grim suggested this be an option you could enable (to prevent 'forced' pvp).
This would fill in the gap made by the currently disabled base raids and I imagine would be far easier to implement than the work needed to fix the CoP trial.
I thought the idea was uber-smexy. Just like the devs who might consider this!

Mmmmm.....cherries!
There's nothing like cherry pie! Post MoSTF celebration food! -
Hi all
By request of a great new friend we ran a Faathim TF tonight. Our rad left within the first mish leaving us without heals, buffs or debuffs. In the end we prevailed all the same.
[Chemical.Burn] from Warburg shreds Larnaru's defense...the big guy was down in under a minute once his boys were cleared.
I'm very proud of this team....everyone knew their job and though many of us hadn't played together before we worked like a well-oiled machine. Great chats, lots of fun. This is why I love Champion--I;ve never had as good an experience on another server.
You guys all rock. And you're all Champions. Thanks for making a Shard TF fly by...something I never thought would happen!
Final time was 3:28:36. By request of one of the team members, here's out celebratory group pic.

Slayer and Megadeth are playing here in my home town in less than a week.
GWAR was here last week too--I got GWAR goo'ed :P
Big fan of Slayer and JP, so I love both versions. When 'South of Heaven' came out (there's my age....) I was thrilled to see Slayer covering a JP tune... -
I would have made a Praetorian alt of Shaytanah, my fave toon, but they already ripped off half her f*ckin' bio and made Desdemona.
Oh, there had better be a mish where I can stomp my cloven hooves on her face... -
Ultraaman!
You have a toon named Dissident Aggressor??!?
Is he named for the JP song or the Slayer cover?
Smexy! -
It is fun to make a toon just to see how long it goes before being nerfed. My 'Sayrah Paylin' (ice/ice tank) was nerfed in under a week.
Course, she was the spitting image of Palin...should have made her an AR blaster tho. -
Hatch, I love you.

Welcome aboard. You made me smile

Yeah but 'Kalinda' and 'Kelinda' are close enough.
This is open to a lot of abuse. If I copyright a name someone else uses--but hasn't copyrighted yet themselves--I can then sue them for royalties.Quote:You can use a word in Arabic, or whatever, all you want, but if you make it a proper name, and there is some other intellectual property that already has it for a name, you lose every time.
American copyright laws are nasty strict; we're a little more relaxed in Canada. Here you can dl all the music you want--we pay a little fee on blank CDs that goes to the recording industry to shut them up

It was a blast, and thanks Cherry!
Congrats to TST! -
You'll be missed Fraggle!

More Warburg!
Woot! -
I had a toon named Muadib. Got nerfed because it supposedly violates copyright (for those who don't know 'Dune' the main character, Paul Atreides, is called Mu'adib).
However...'Mu'adib' is an Arabic word meaning someone who teaches you refinement. That's like claiming a copyright on the word 'ocean' or 'human'.
Now this isnt the first Arabic word I've used for a toon name. My fave toon's name--Shaytanah--means both 'demoness' and 'she-serpent' in Arabic and Hebrew. I have one on Virtue called Khalid al-Saifullah ('Sword of God'). List goes on.
Not understanding another language is no reason to nerf my name At least my tank, Le French Tickleur, is still going.
Best part? When the devs violate copyright they ignore it. Example: There's an old Star Trek episode called 'By Any Other Name'. The aliens in it are called 'Kelvins' (temperature measurement aside its close to 'Kheldian') and one of the Kelvins is named 'Kelinda'.
Now I understand nerfing copywritten names--its to protect the company from law suits. Cool. But don't tell me that I'm violating copyright when I do it, but its no big deal for the devs.
Off soapbox. Thanks.
P.S. I once made a thread pointing out the Star Trek rip-off. Thread was gone like lightning yet all my new vills end up working for the Walking Copyright Violation of Mercy Island.
