This idea lacks merit of any kind.

Some Archetypes function better on teams. Universally. Hell, even Tankers have the PvP taunting ability in that they can ACTUALLY taunt a player and force them to target their character.

You're asking for the devs to make a move to more 1v1 PvP, which isn't going to happen. When you chose your particular Archetype, you did with the knowledge of how well he/she performs on teams. You shouldn't need to think "Hmm... The devs say that these are better with teams. I wonder if that applies for PvP, too."

It does.

A good start might be removing the name 'Ares' from the name. I saw this on a Suggestions topic, and just thought "Isn't that the guy who had a lot to whine about?"

If you want to start clean, it's best to wait until this topic is modlocked, off the first few pages, and then change the name and lay low for a bit.

I'd like Tyrant to have some Summon powers... Say summon Underlings, and he'll get two armored guards to his aid. That would be something better than Statesman, for me, at least.

Pa-lease. Despite my lower post count, I've had Cartel Status long before you. :P Don't tell ME how to get into the Cartel, I told your parents, and your parent's parents, how to get in.

....

Technically, I think B_I owes me $20 anyway. She made an open bet about how someone would PM her something, and when I tried, I found myself on her Ignore list (not sure for how long). So I think I technically earned that.

Or it was P_P who owes me, I'm not sure. But someone owes me a $20, damn it!

I think you owe me $20.

Have I just missed serious "Forum Cartel" talk in the last three years? The last time I saw anyone post about the insidious Forum Cartel and *mean* it was back in the CuppaJo days and the fallout from ED.

[/ QUOTE ]

You missed it.

Is this thread still alive? I'm waiting for the OP to finish ignoring everyone who posts, so he can effectively shove his fingers into his ears and go 'Nah nah! Not listening!'

Even if it seems that he's been doing that exact thing so far.

Generally? No.

I've PLed maybe a grand total of 10 levels between all of my characters combined. It's just not enjoyable.

If someone can handle being PLed, and playing that particular character, then let them do what they please. While they've got Level 50's to show their commitment, I've got... Badges. :P

Eh.

I know you have it set up above where you can adjust the frequency - but I can see far too many people learning about this and *not doing so* because their little phrase is "lulz kool." I already see that, fortunately rarely, with binds.

Personally, I'll keep my characters personality in my hands via RP. Putting in an in-game system, I think, would turn most "personalities" into simply "annoying." (Yes, I *do* see where you can "just ignore their banter" or "ignore the banter channel" - I think within a week it'd be shut off on all my characters second only to Depth of Field.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh lawdy, lawd. I remember back in my lowbie days, I was teaming with Mind/Kin Controller that had a bind for every last attack he had. Eventually the leader told him to lose them, or he'd be kicked from the team.

Two seconds later, the team had a free spot.

We've got enough to do in the game. If that doesn't interest you, then play a different game. A browser game. Hell, go on newgrounds if you'd like.

Figure it out, I think you know what I'm asking for.

We already have Chasers and Sky Skiffs as I said, and people aren't asking for private jets. I don't see why tanks would cause people to start whining for vehicles any more than they already do.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sky Skiffs and Chasers work with slightly different mechanics than a car would, I do believe. No wheels to turn, no set direction, etc.

Again, not against the idea at all, just trying to add a bit of insight.

No. No. Further no.

I think this goes into Vehicle Customization.

What do tanks do right now? They move in a designated line/direction/course. They don't turn when they're not scripted to for their course of design, and so forth. It's sort of like what there aren't robes in the game; they look good on a select few, but if you make it open-ended as to what's being used for what, it looks horrible.

Don't get me wrong! I'd like to fight tanks, and anything else that the Fifth Column would throw at us... But then Moderator 08 would never get any sleep, having to lock every "OMG CAN WE HAZ VEHIKLEZ NAO?!" thread that would spawn of it.

Sounds like a fair proposition.

Your ban.

Make it happen.

As long as it comes with some Dual Pistols, and maybe a Pistol/Blade combo, they can butcher it to their heart's content.

As said before, if there are separate Archetypes for the Rogues, then they're already figured out by now.

The only problem is that maps are:

1. Labor intensive on the staff.
2. Time-consuming.
3. Needing space to fit a semi-trailer through each corridor to not out-space teams during teamplay.

I come asking a simple request of forum aesthetics.

Currently, the Suggestions and Ideas board has more stickies than any other forum. Chances are, when you logged onto this board, you saw this. An entire page view of just stickies (at my computer resolution, at least).

My suggestion is to un-sticky these ideas, let them fall along with other ideas, but make two new threads:
1. Official Suggestions Thread
-- This will be a thread linking to the big ones; Costume Suggestions, Power Suggestions, Day Jobs, Badges, etc. It will link to all of those different threads, and identify itself as being a thread for that purpose.
2. Ideas of Merit
-- This will be a thread linking to the good ideas that we see up there. Signature powers, probation/duress, how to search, etc. Think of it as a sort of 'Developer's Choice' of the S&I forums.

Why do I request this?

Because the stickies are overwhelming. From the viewpoint of a new person trying to get a feel for the forums before posting, he's got all of these many topics to look and read through. It's too much! Adding a bit of brevity to the official statements and stickied ideas would be a BIG help to clean things up.

Fifthly, by keeping this on the front page it's easier to grab the Cut-N-Paste reply to put in the inevitable identical thread. I think a Mod should start a "Not Merging the Servers!!" thread consisting exclusively of the Cut-N-Paste answer, lock it and sticky it at the top of the forum.

You think people would read it? Lol.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, being stickied at the top of course they.....oh, yeah.

Dear, sweet Jeebus, NO. There are already so many damn stickies in this forum.

*flag flutters in the background while the American anthem plays softly*

Yes I know I have that one term reversed, but that's a pet peeve of mine. The patriot in me insists that if you were born in this country then you're an American first. If you're a first generation immigrant then you can call yourself a whatever-American.

/rantoff

[/ QUOTE ]

My pet peeve that's related is "Native American". I may not be an Indian, but I'm a native of this country too, dammit! My family came over before the country was even founded, forpetessake.

And don't even get me started on affirmative action...

So, back to the original topic...

How is the post padding going, people?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not too bad. I needs me postin's.

I've already got a character called 'Judas the Priest'.

What do these badges do for HIM?

So wait you can't do it yourself? I don't need a Hvy. But if you want to bring a friend fine. I will try and take you both on. Worst comes to worst. I invite my friend. But that might a bit of a overkill though. So if i can get him to join me. You might want to bring your SG. 2 just aint enough rep

[/ QUOTE ]

You just whined about not being able to take on three people because they controlled a Heavy.

I'm offering you an identical situation, but without the Heavy's involvement.

[/ QUOTE ]

And that works for me.Worst case is i lose to 2 people. Don't that make you feel super. You need more then one to do it. But like i said i would still try.

[/ QUOTE ]

You've already lost to two people. Just because it was an NPC that held you, instead of another player doesn't mean a damn thing.
