Snow Globe

Confirmed, and you have to use some sort of TP to get back out of the "Edge of Chaos" badge location.

We have no way of knowing if that was indeed what was happening. Only the developers or players under a signed NDA know for sure though.

I highly doubt it as the developers would likely have been far too busy to work on and test both Issue 19 and Issue 20 stuff at the same time.

I think I've got to echo these responses.

You will be missed on these forums. Best wishes in your future work.

Yes, I know that. However it would be easier for the original poster to see, and any regular alignment missions will be erased anyways after a successful morality mission.

For distance:
target_custom_far

For close:
target_custom_near

Cycle forward (will usually get the closest, but not always):
target_custom_next

Cycle backwards (will usually get the furthest away, but not always):
target_custom_prev

There are advantages and disadvantages with each. However, targetcustomnear will stay on the closest target, even if it is in the process of fading away. Targetcustomnext will go to the next target with a second keystoke/activation of the bind or macro (the command can be used either way), unlike targetcustomnear.

I can confirm that you can't drop that mission.

Actually, the thread isn't really dead. It was never abandoned for a few months. Only the desire of the original poster to update it has died apparently.

I believe the #1 Infamous Forumite would have a one word response to this picture.

I guess you didn't read Master-Blade's response to the same post above.

I wasn't commenting on the current state of The Hive, but rather the past. The original poster was trying to figure out why she thought there was a beacon in the past. In the past there was a possible way to get from the base to The Hive: rez in the base, then exit the base without using a teleporter.

And people are telling me that some of my suggestions are unlikely.

That has got to be one of the worst ideas I've heard of in a while.

There is a reason why the temp powers are used more on the lower population servers, and by reducing the effects of the powers, you make it harder for the teams to succeed. By making it harder to succeed, you have less players willing to do the tasks. It becomes a viscous cycle that ends with players leaving the smaller servers entirely because no one will do the tasks.

The reason Virtue and Freedom do raids on a more regular basis is that they have the population to support that. Placing an ED system on powers (temp or otherwise) will only HURT the lower population servers, not help them.

I wish the KoA did not all throw caltrops, but they do.

As to the bug, yeah, it could very well be a bug. However it is a bug that they have reinforced with the last two patches.

I have serious doubts that the mine layers carpet of bombs, to the point that the server will not send the information to the players so that they can avoid the bombs, is working as intended.

I can't see the fact that there are so many bombs that some of the warnings they are about to go off, thereby allowing the players to move away, is working as intended.

I can't see the fact that the mine layers do not lay bombs around Director 11, but instead go to the opposite side of the map, is working as intended.

The stated reasoning that Director 11 is chucking the mines all over the place is completely bunk because the mines will still be placed while the Director is in any way mezzed. Since this goes against the stated reasons for the mines existence, this is also likely "not intended".

That is exactly how I see it. One side has an unfair advantage over the other. It would be like challenging you to a car race where I told you that you have to use a stock Pinto, while I get a Ferrari Enzo. Could you honestly say it was a fair race?

It is still an insult as that is not what I've ever said. The fact that you grossly misinterpreted what I have stated, is frankly insulting.

I wanted the Incarnate Trials for the Alpha Strike to MATCH the strength of the Incarnate Abilities of the Alpha Slot. They do not. The Alpha abilities

The way your post reads is as a series of insults, in a very condescending manner.

The game demonstratively cheats. For instance, the Aspect of Rularuu shoots and debuffs through his "Only Affects Self" Personal Force Field, even though the developers could not repeat it at the time, I was able to record it actually happening. Likewise the developers are trying to make a hard challenge for the players, but in doing so they have given the NPCs and the encounters an advantage that players can't counter.

An example in the Tin Mage TF are the invisible and intangible mine layers that continue to lay proximity bombs away from the AV, even if the AV is held or controlled. The mine layers are supposed to represent the AV tossing mines around. If that were the case, then the mine layers need to stop throwing mines away from the Director and stop while he is incapable of launching any attack.

Having one set of rules for the NPCs and another for the players is cheating.

It isn't that you are disputing what I'm saying. It is HOW you are doing so. You are implying or stating things I've never said and attributing those statements to me. The fact that you can't see that you are launching personal attacks means that I have nothing further to say to you.

There is a reason why Jack Emmert (Statesman) isn't well thought of by the players. This game has succeeded despite his effort to make single-solution "winning scenarios" a part of this game. The fact that the other game is, in part, failing miserably due to the same ideals is testimony enough. The best game masters (either pen & paper or electronic games) adapt to the unexpected. The current trend to make sure the players "do the right thing" as opposed to come up with creative solutions is a huge step back in terms of user-friendliness.
