Ha. Ha.

So you're telling me there were doom threads in 2004-2005? As I say, ha. The doom thread only started this year about.

Also, I think people are missing the point here. The whole point of the thread WASNT to discuss about the EU server populations. I was explaining why the EU populations are the level they are now!

Ugh, I'm not trying to start a DOOM thread here, but "EU populations" seems to fit into the DOOM section for a lot of people...

Ah, the friendly DrDestiny.

I wish to thank all has a made a constructive post and not "Dammit its The_Phantoms again" and "DOOOOOM" becuase I don't want to start that in the first place! If you don't like the posts, don't go on them. It's as simple as that. So you don't think "DOOOOOOM", I don't want to argue with you here, but I think getting into too much of all that will just start another flame war.

And I have to agree the game looks pug ugly at the moment. Another reason why possible new players are put off.

Also, another note, tbh DOOM threads doesnt put people off the game, because how many people read the forum anyway? If the doom threads had an effect we would've have less players than we do now.

Just trying to get my 2 cents around, hope that doesn't make you go into a big fit.

PvP changes: PvP is now more accessible to those who haven't spent an eternity farming for the perfect build. This very much includes the newbs.


[/ QUOTE ]

What about those who have?

Very dissapointed with PvP changes <text removed by mod>.

Now someone's gonna shout "GR SAID NOT TO DISCUSS IT!" but this is a why it's low, and somebody will shout "IT'S NOT LOW!" but compare it to other MMOs and you see why. End of story, I don't want to start a arguement/flame war about it.

Now, recently I13 was realased. But in my mind there wasnt really anything in I13 that will make intrested ones go "Oh, that's a feature that will effect me in my first few days!"

Let's review...

Day Jobs: Don't think newbies should be making 23 alts just yet
Merit System: The newbies probably dont even understand Story Arcs/TFs/GMs yet.
Levelling Pact: OK it might, but it would take a while to figure out this.
New Cimerora Stuff: I'm sure no-one got to lvl 35 in about a week of first time playing or so.
Multi Builds: Yeah, I'm pretty sure they won't use this instantly either.
New Powersets: Yes, they will use this. I can't deny it. But there is a LOAD of other powersets...these are two.
Base and PvE and PvP Changes: I'm not sure people get involved with Bases early on, and PvE and PvP numbers will pretty much confuse new players.

So...do you see? There seems to be little to attract new players to the game in I13.

I'm glad they're trying MA, something new kids on the block might get excited about, but frankly - that's still a few months away. I'm sure that not many newbies will go into very much detail into Mission/Arcs anyway.

This is basically a reason why I think, disagree or agree on this matter, and post your own reasons. And please don't start a flame war...

Why do people have the urge to post these? When I left, I just left. *shrugs*

[/ QUOTE ]

Because they want people who don't know who to directly contact them to say bye to them.

Bye.

Positron has mention they're looking at improving the graphics in some way

[/ QUOTE ]

No he hasn't. You got proof? I never seen him say that.

And animated hair is not really what Posi means, GG...

Busted!!! Yes he has!

Was in a recent interview saying about a graphics overhaul, will find the link now

Once again, this is late...any word when the winner is announced?

I mean ffs people... the devs put down alot of heart, soul and hard work into it. The shields and such look fabulous. All the little details and so on.
Sure there's a load of bugs, but they will be fixed, most of em aren't that major, but just annoying.


[/ QUOTE ]

So if I put my heart and soul into making some pottery and it's no good, should I be very much praised? No. Constructive critisim is the only way to the top (a lesson I learned).

At the end of the day, I13: love it or hate it. I'm in the middle, it's ok but it could've been a lot better. Dissapointed with some of the new stuff like Merits (not enough Merits for hard stuff, back to inf for me personally) and Day Jobs (stay offline, gain a dime - that's the game going on here).

I'll give I13 a 6/10 shock horror. I13 lacks awesomeness IMHO.

This is all well and good, but zone PvP isn't getting dealt with.

I agree with others, Posi is basically saying "OK we did it wrong but I can't admit it so I'll ignore it and introduce this so we can make it pre-I13" which in my mind says "So, Posi, why didn't you look over the changes you made?"

Shiny, but its been stripped down. Fansite Alliance, City Sights, Hall of Fame, Tip of the Day!?

That's why I came to the website, guess I won't be coming anymore...

What about a Badgehunter one!?

Unfortunately, they spent little time on Cimerora. Beautiful zone, and in post-I12 and pre-I13 it was just 2 contacts and a TF, one contact gave you boring talk mishes, the other just gave repeatable missions. The TF was great fun, Rom was a great challenge, but Cimerora lacked oomph as far as contacts were concerned.

They made that up with the Midnight Squad arc.

Favourite arcs;
Midnight Squad
Freaklympics
The Vazhilok Plague

Top 3 in my mind. 3. TVP, 2. Midnight SquaD 1. Freaklympics (fun and intresting)

Also lets not forget Westin Phipps. It makes you feel guilty, its not like normal video game evil missions...and Oh Wretched Man. It makes you cry. Very powerful.

How did it turn out, phantoms?

Didn't like it after a while, deleted it. For now, I think I'm going to leave the Stalker AT in its place and play some of my other toons. Strange since I actually enjoyed it at first...just started to turn into "not really my playstyle". Thanks for the help anyway

This issue was brought up a while ago on Test. There's a lot of outrage on it - you're definetely not the only one.

As far as I'm concerned if the NPCs stay at this level of power, they may as well remove em.

A player left our SG because our leader refused to boot someone from it because of an arguement they had had between themselves. She took about 1 other SG player with her that I knew and wrote a big long post of what she thought was wrong with the SG. I write a really nice post on the SG forums stating why her 'please boot X' was denied (on behalf of our SG leader) and also completely blasting/obliterating any points she had come up with but still being nice, polite and fair. The next time I log on I am met with a torrent of abuse. - which I just found amusing really.

Some people...

Did she call you "Sour Chilli"? Lol

They're signing up for Closed Beta testing currently.

They should be taking Invention salvage.

Bug?

But, anyway, /signed.

What prices are we talking here? If we're talking about 1k per piece of salvage, I'm all for it. So /signed.

I had a similar idea a while ago, but only from a cosmetic stand point, it'd make no difference damage wise.
Say my SS tank is stood on or near a car or large object and uses hurl. Instead of reaching into the ground, he'd pick up the car and hurl that, while he'd pull a rock out of the ground if theres nothing nearby to throw. Similar goes for Gravity Controllers with Propel, drawing a nearby object towards them then hurling it.
The likelihood of that happening would be minimum, mind, as creating a random object is easier to code then a certain object when near it.

[/ QUOTE ]

It would actually be very hard to code, espicially for the car one. The animation would be very tricky.

As for the suggestion itself, I will /signed it but I only have one more point. Make these glowies RARE (and I mean rare, not one on every corner of Atlas Park) like only one per zone every hour. You wouldn't just have a temp power, you would have bragging rights. And it would make it more "unique" instead of like them spawning like the Winter Event Christmas presents.

If my suggestion is put in, then this is fully /signed.

[ QUOTE ]
Plus, of course, you can select from literally any map currently in the game, I believe.

Also the "unique" maps that are lurking around in TFs/special Story Arcs

was a good first night last night even if a non rper such as myself felt a lil out of place

Yeah, I had fun too. There was a few us of there, and some unexpected guests The SG has already been set up so I suggest you create your toon and you will get a invite.

For now I think better discussion is on the forum, you can get a link on Page 2 and favourite/bookmark it.
