Quote:Opinions are good, so just making friendly debate here...
And I think limiting the "new shinies" to the AV and EB ranks completely undermines the benefits such an addition could bring.
Rattling my head a bit here, and honestly don't know...
What Minion or LT ranks have a 3rd powerset power in-game?
I believe a few Bosses do and I know EB and AV ranks do.
What I was trying to suggest with that limit was simply NOT giving us more options than what the developers have or what's currently in-game.
I don't believe a 3rd powerset would ever see the light of day anyhoo, so it's all moot to me...
Again... friendly debate! -
I'm too complacent (whether that's good or bad is subject to opinion) to be vocal about content text format. I also realize I wasn't asked to give my 2 cents, but since it's an open discussion and has been on my mind since I read the thread... thought I be non-complacent for a post.
Not here to ruffle any feathers or receive a wedgie... in case there's some conspiracy theory out there circulating about my motives. /e paranoidnow -
I'll bite...
Villain Morality - Highlighting what I'd change in yellow.
The Dagger of Caernoz
Alignment Mission
You've come across a box containing an old dagger with fiery sigils lining the blade. Inside the box is a note addressed to a hero named Desdemona.
'Your actions have convinced us that you truly wish to seal away Lord Caernoz rather than bind him to your will. We now send you the true dagger, not the replica you believe will seal him away. Only with this can you hold power over that infernal being. We believe you will use this power for the good of all. Know that you are trusted amongst us. - The Sightless Court'
Recently, Desdemona has been causing problems amongst the elite of the Rogue Isles as she tracks down some 'nameless being'. You remember hearing that she was last seen heading off to a Circle of Thorns temple to perform some ritual or another.
Now you know what she has planned, and it seems she's woefully unprepared. What better time to pay her back for all the trouble that turn-coat has been causing than when she's about to get her rear kicked royally? On the other hand, you're the one with the dagger, not her. She'd likely pay a pretty penny to get her hands on this at the moment she needs it the most.
"You remember hearing" would work equally as well (IMO) without assuming I what I remember to "It has been rumored"
As far as the final paragraph...
If that is indeed what she has planned, she could be woefully unprepared. There may not be a better time to pay her back for all the trouble that turn-coat has been causing than when she's about to get her rear kicked royally.
Simply stating facts or making suggestions is fine... stating what I remember or what I know... really isn't. That's my 2 cents. -
Not sure which part ya unsure of.
Link pretty much should give the jist of it...
I don't feel I can hold "contests" per say on a server... because well, it doesn't end til July 4th.
What I tried to do today on Pinnacle was go where the "Trials" were forming (Level 50 Magnet) and every 15 minutes announced I was taking submissions (simply taking a screenshot of character + bio) for anyone willing to enter... tho, only 1 pre-50 seemed interested. :/
Was thinking, maybe a gathering pre-Trial runs... if it's "scheduled"... then Trials could be scheduled immediately after?
Just a thought. Maybe cool... maybe dumb... but gotta try. -
Quote:lol, no need to go THAT far!
I don't have many Aura's for flashy goodnness.
Instead Ill make a video of me bubbling things and hurling urinals at people using propel. -
Quote:July 4th is a ways off before the contest ends. I know that's a long time, but I want to be sure I at least *try* to be there in-game on each server to accept submissions and I still haven't even started the actual writing of the arcs yet... then there's real life, work, friends, family, other CoH stuff...
If ya want me in, I can submit the costume code whenever ya like.
Plus this gives time to those who don't frequent the boards like I used to not do for years.
PEACE! (and happy gaming...) -
Looking for submissions from your server for this: Global: Character Contest.
Since Triumph is where the Ænvasion is coming from and isn't on the list to Ænvade... I'm curious if a Contest or gathering for submissions would be preferred in addition to forum postings.
Thanx in advance! -
Looking for submissions from your server for this: Global: Character Contest.
Backfire should be invading your server forums soon to announce our plans to Ænvade your server this weekend.
Curious if a Contest or gathering for submissions would be preferred.
Thanx in advance! -
This runs til July 4th. I'm just listing my top 5 of each alignment from each server. It's still in its early stages.
There's every reason to apply until that date.
And thanx for being the first to represent for Victory! -
Tried to catch level 50's while in RWZ on Sunday (4/17/11)...
Looking for submissions from your server for this: Global: Character Contest.
I know at least 2 of you out there (1 Hero/1 Villain) have a very cool character they created and wouldn't mind having a submission for this.
Don't force me to stalk your server! O.O -
Quote:There's an updated list of applicants on page 1 of the thread. It was an afterthought. Normally, this isn't my type of thing... took a little bit of courage to post this. More than plays or ratings, I really just want to honor the creativity and the CoH community in general in some way.
Also, could you do an updated list of applicants? -
Yea, I don't know why I didn't think to say "Souvenir" from the get-go as more a "credit roll" like you mentioned. Think I will go with that. Leave bio alone.

*thumbs up to Samuel on this*

Details like this are subject to change based on community feedback. The only things set in stone are level 50, 2 from each server, 13 of each morality, 1 representative from each AT (if possible), and power balance.
Other than that... I'm open to change about other details. It's more about community beyond that versus what I want. -
Virtue is off to a fast start with the submissions...
Thanx Virtue in advance! -
Quote:I was about to comment that descriptions will contain (Server) and if desired (@Global), tho the Global is optional...
Description length: 1021 symbols.
But, now I'm starting to wonder if Souvenir is a better place for that? -
I think there should be limits, but EB and AV ranks should have access to a "select list" of "flavor" powers that can help set them apart more. Free rein has already shown that mission designers won't show constraint.

Probably my last villain's name "Motorkill" - Electric Control/Psychic Assault.

I spent a lot of time criticizing every aspect of that arc, Ironik. And it's not a stand-alone arc, totally. The continuation (slated for July/August) coincides with the Global Character Contest (General Discussion) in which I would like to have guest appearances through the arc by actual player creations. If you do try it, gimme honest feedback... I haven't gotten complaints on it since it was "Looking for Feedback".
-
And quickly reading through some of the posts, I find Forse almost said what I wanted to say to a tee.
-
I agree with what you're saying, pretty much. I had this challenge I faced when writing my morality A/E arc that attempts to come off as a conversation/narrative without impeding on the player/character's thoughts and feelings.
I originally had the final line as during "In Progress" as:
"This is going to be the toughest decision you've made all night."
But rewrote it on "Final" as:
"This could be the toughest challenge you faced all night."
The first would come off to me (a player) as a definite and you know what's challenging to me. The second, I feel is more like an outside source is trying to understand me and doesn't assume what's challenging to me.
Wordplay can be huge.
PEACE! (and happy gaming...) -
Couldn't agree with you more on this, dave... and after minor participation on Trials with my FF Defender... I'll not be returning to them until something (if anything) is done to make it worthwhile for me. I'll just stick with Alpha. Way too poor to afford to make anything and not "farming" 2 Trials to get the new shinies. But, that's my choice.
-
Popping in for a quick update to the main & tracking posts and to say thanx again for the submissions in the early running...
And thanx Zamuel for added insight and the PLACEBO? *confused, think I got placated* -
Thank you BrandX and Nyx for the submissions! Thanx in advance to anyone else who chooses to add submissions as well! Getting more excited about this as I see your character submissions.
I am seeking feedback on how people think Epic ATs should be handled in A/E tho.
Note: I've never ran a CC in my time... and only briefly participated in 2. So bear with me, please. -
For those of you who are interested in pimping out your signature 50s and partaking in a Global Character Contest (link to forum post), please stop by for a minute or two prior to and after our Ænvasion or simply join us on some missions while we are Ænvading your server and let me know you would like to submit your character for the contest!
Who: Level 50 of any AT/Playstyle (please see note about Epic ATs on link)
What: *slap* Read above!
Where: Rikti War Zone (just outside of Vanguard Building)
When: 8am-8:45am PST / 11am-11:45am EST & again at Noon-12:45 PST / 4pm-4:45pm EST
Why: Because you're just that awesome?!
All I need to do is take a screenshot of your character w/bio & player info opened (on my end).
So, just stop by and say "Heya Supa!" and when I'm done, I'll say "Thanx, $name! You're awesome!".
Painless! Just check the above link for updates!
I'll be the little demon-looking dude named Kordor with pet demons.
PEACE! (and happy gaming...)
