Question in regards to the fan art used in the City Scoop , are you actually asking the artists or owners about its use or simply asuming they want it used in your publication ?

I know a few friends that have had things used and were not contacted and while they aren't mad it does seem to irk them from time to time and thus my question .

[/ QUOTE ]

If that's true, that would be very inappropriate.

However, if someone posts their artwork online for anyone to see, it enters public domain. The only way it can be strictly prohibited from others' use is if the artist makes known on either the artwork on or the post that the picture is to only be used with the express permission of said artist.

Otherwise, a non-profit entity like City Scoop could reuse it so long as they are accrediting the artist.

Still, though, it is extremely discourteous and someone should apologise if what you're saying is true, Scarf Girl.

I think Bill and Muad got the point, as well as anyone reading it.

That's what is truly important to me.

Gods Union party this Friday.

Details here.

Whether you're interested in being recruited or simply just want to have some fun, this event is for joo.

Good job, Bill! *thumbs up*

But I would include in there about telling people not to whine or gripe to high Heaven if they do get attacked.

Then it just starts a /b argument and people end up purposefully wanting to hunt the whiner down.

Interesting.

Shadow,

Sorry to rag on you but your Grandfather is a retired Special Forces major, a green beret is something you wear not something you are.

I'm aware of this. But I also post considering the audience of people who are going to read it.

But after 21 years in the Army, I can see why you'd be edgy to that nickname.

Don't expect a Dev to respond, they're just as burned out on this subject as the rest of us are.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can a developer of a game really afford to get "burnt out" on a subject that so many (even if its a divided community; which I think is a skewed assumption and would really be more along the lines of people who don't want it looked at to be a vast minority) feel passionately about?

Well, I can't possibly know that out of the blue, nerd! :P

But, I'd still like to see someone address all the things people have mentioned in this thread and give a counterpoint and rationalisation against them.

Hey, a guy can dream, right?

If this doesn't stay right under the stickies, then your job becomes clear.

Bump it until a Dev responds. Ridiculous that they have yet to do so.

[/ QUOTE ]

They've responded to both me and Stupid Fanboy and probably others.

Short version: No approval to change MoG. No further updates. Keep the faith.

[/ QUOTE ]

Really? I did a double check by "Threading" the thread, and noticed no red names.

Gee, and here I though the "point of the game" was to have fun... I don't see how interactable items makes the game into The Sims, anyway. That statement was just sweepingly closed-minded, really.

[/ QUOTE ]

Was it?

Sure, the point of *any* game is to have fun, but each game has its own rules, signature style, method of play and focus.

[/ QUOTE ]

Your mistake is trying to apply -YOUR- play style to everyone. There are RPers. A lot of them. Interactive items would be a huge boon to them. Just because -YOU- play the game as a utility-function only action game doesn't mean everyone should nor does it mean any feature that doesn't fall into that style should be ignored by the devs.

This is, after all, an MMO***RP***G. You don't -have- to RP, but RP is part of the game for those who chose to do so.

[/ QUOTE ]

Excuse me? I'd love more interactive items in the game. I wasn't thinking of them as being purely decorative though (read further down to my "Bat Cave" example in that same post).

Trust me, I wasn't projecting *my* personal gameplay style on others. Mine doesn't exclude more "interactive" items - I just want to see them do more than appear decorative. I'm not paying $14.95/month to play the superhero version of The Sims - THAT'S MY POINT.

Please don't second-guess "my" play style - talk about rude.

[/ QUOTE ]

You've just confirmed exactly what I was talking about.. Your play style doesn't seem to have room for non-fucntional interactive items (Read: DECORATIVE! Duh.). You're going on to try to lable your playstle as the style of the game. That's just plain false. It's your playstyle, that's all. Your style, focus, priorities, whatever. They're not everybody's. And they're not necessarily the focus of the game. Don't assume that they are and brush off any idea that doesn't fit as "not belonging" in the game.

You wanna talk about rude, try snarky comments about items that fit someone else's play style turning CoX into The Sims....

Anyway, if you don't want to pay to play a "Superhero version of The SIms"...DON'T! Adding those features doesn't mean you have to use them and, thus, will have zero effect on your gameplay if you choose not to use them. But this "They should only add features that suit my tastes" mindset you've expressed is just plain selfish. And....rude. We're not asking for that much, in the end. It won't take time away from your precious min-maxing boosts.

Anyway, in regards to Safeguard missions, I always thought that it would be kind of like cleaning up after a mayhem mission, with civilians trapped under rubble you'd have to destroy, putting out burning buildings, stopping villains who've taken advantage of the chaos to run wild in the streets.


[/ QUOTE ]

Ooooo!

That sounds downright nifty!

[/ QUOTE ]

yes it does!!! Read this states and Posi!!! Give the players what they want!

[/ QUOTE ]

Someone grab this idea and PM to Posi! That would be so freaking cool. Double so if the safeguard mission ended with you entering the bank to thump the villan(s) trying to steal the money.

Don't worry about it. I think he was shooting for an ignorant exaggeration.

Giving the player what they want is EXACTLY why Ultima Online tanked.

I'd be a little careful about that.

But I know something the Devs could work on that players are demanding and I haven't heard anything about yet: fixing the trams.

But but... Who will give me my New Braunfels news?!


We'll miss yah! Don't let them TR people get the good Cuppa that we got. Give them the mean Cuppa.

Wandering off duty Heroes/Villains
Originally suggested by: JazonZ though similar to base pets mentioned above
Category: other
Customizable? N/A
Type: unlocked or special conditions
Description: Unused Alt characters wander around the base. Or sit and read or sleep. They can dissappear during a base raid but I would pay good money to see them AI defend my stuff.
Limitations: It can be just eye candy but might be fun as a base raid tool.

I thought we worked you out of that habit?
