A guy I knew at the time found me a VMS port of TinyFugue, which worked very nicely for playing on MU*'s. I set up some function key macros on my terminal program to invoke certain TinyFugue commands.

Hate to be 'that guy' but where is this confirmed?
Curious to see a link or a quote if I may.

Quote:Isn't it more like you manipulate his creepy obsession into killing her and then go "HA-HA"? Or am I thinking of another arc?Originally Posted by Siolfir
Yeah, but there was a specific example of that actually being the underlying storyline of an arc. And since she doesn't pay him enough attention, he kills her.
So I used that example instead. -
Quote:Wait, what, Ms. Liberty is dead?Originally Posted by Siolfir
Yeah, but then they kill their female boss, so I guess it wasn't meant to be.

So... men commit crime to impress their female coworkers?

*Does some quick calculations...*
When I was the age you were when you first started playing this game, I got my very first 2400 baud modem. The store from where I got it had their own BBS. It wasn't very much, but I was able to find numbers there to other BBSes that had a lot more users, and a lot more fun things to download!

Quote:Sure, but that just goes back to the issue of "co-op content is actually hero content that villains are graciously allowed to play through as well", which is getting really old.Originally Posted by Egos_Shadow
"Zone meta-arcs" like they've been doing are always going to be terribly difficult to make compatible with villainy. Or, alternately, if they are, they're going to be incompatible with everything else.
All it really needs is some reason why I'd care to help out in First Ward. And the option for some alternative dialogue if I'm really there to loot the place (or whatever). Like they did for the first 20 levels of Praetoria.
It's not like they had to write an entire parallel story arc for villains. -

Quote:Longbow has lots of female members, and happily commit crime left and right. I can't recall fighting a single female PPD officer and I've yet to see them break the law.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Longbow and the PPD both have female members
Makes you think!

Quote:Longbow, Wyvern and the Paragon Police Department commit crime?Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Maybe boys are just more violent and likely to commit crimes?
Wait. Let me start over:
The Paragon Police Department commit crime? -
Quote:None of my villains really appreciated that feel.Originally Posted by Doc_Reverend
I found treating it as a superhero was hard. But treating it as if I were a good-hearted warrior, who while heroic is first and foremost a warrior, made it work better.
I liked the story in First Ward. But it failed to offer me any motivation for why I was actually there and why I was supposed to care about any of it. -

The Rikti Content lasted forever. Praetoria's a fresh start. Especially since it's not a nemesis plot.

Quote:Thank you. I did not know that.Originally Posted by Agent White
You prefer it, yes, but they don't. Mostly because a lot of players feel the Devs word is a signed contract and any time they don't fulfill some part of their word, they will be harped on endlessly for it. So I think it's pretty understandable that they don't release much info on the long term except broad design philosophies because, simply put, people take soft promises as signed and sealed deals, so even if they don't work out players will bug them about it for years down the line.
Do you even know the story of the City Vault? It was supposed to be something vaguely like the WoW armoury.
Like, the day before launch they went "Whoops, we ran into a technical issue and have to delay the launch of the City Vault. We'll let you know when it's ready." and that was the last official mention of the City Vault ever*
That you wait 'till the very last minute to tell anyone about it is no guarantee.

Quote:Personally, I have both the funds and the split personality to enjoy both.Originally Posted by FloatingFatMan
I will be buying TOR, whether I actually play beyond the first month remains to be seen, but if it has enough to engage me then EA will likely be getting my 8.99 a month, not Paragon Studios.
Paragon Studios, you shouldn't have taken the game down this road.

Quote:Also, a significant portion of the playerbase is getting old and grumpy.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
There is a significant difference. And having been here for nearly eight years...I think I have a good handle on the level of quality I should expect from this game.

Quote:To be fair, the City Vault was 95% done when they scrapped it.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
That was pre-City Vault
Since the City Vault announcement and the problems they discovered after they with it after they went public, plus the earlier problems with the unused universities and the rocket launch sites under construction, War Witch has said that they now only announce or talk about stuff that's already 90-95% done - that's why, for example, the first we heard about a DA makeover also included screenshots apaprently showing that the whole zone was either already completed, or pretty close to it - or why we didn't hear about the Keyes or UG Trials until they were ready for beta, even though they'd been developed at the same time as BAF and Lambda - or ever heard a hint about an Atlas Park revamp until the I21 announcement, even though they started work on it right after GR launched.
Personally, I like long-term hints at what they are working on better than the "we will tell you what it is after you bought it!" approach. Even if it's occasionally something that doesn't make it in. -

Let's just cure Hero 1 and merge the phalanx and dawn patrol, okay?
He even has the name for it. -
I'm looking forward to seeing how revealing and sexy they can make a female face plate. Like a corset for your face?
Can't wait to see! -

Yes, yes we do.
CoH remains the superheroic MMORPG.
In my opinion it also remains the best MMO i've ever tried. -

I've only been waiting, like, six years. I can wait a few more for this to happen.

Quote:I think you mean more Crystal Hawks and less Dixie Cousins (because not referencing Brisco County Jr. in a cowboy thread is a crime in some countries)Originally Posted by Schismatrix
To clarify, for a pack that's labeled "Gunslinger", not "Wild West Saloon", i'd expect an outfit that's slightly more Calamity Jane, and slightly less Lili Von Shtupp.
Personally, I'd prefer options for both. And also some of those long johns for male characters.
