    Speculation....

    I'm wondering what will happen when it comes to spelling differences. Such as colour/color and armour/armor etc.

    And as Al Murray would say 'If you're not in the war from the start, you're not in it at all!'

    Shame the thing i like about i15 is an upgrade that you need to pay for.

    I've no complaints with it, i'd happily buy it, however i think people would like issue 15 alot more, and they'd stop complaining about it so much if the body change was part of the free issue.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    ^This^

    I haven't brought any of the Boosters packs as I really can't afford them. A lot of people wanted the body change feature and a lot didn't. Making it part of i15 would have been a much better idea IMO.

    Merge is good!

    An excellent change that should have been made a long time ago - and it means we can finally palm their unwanted golden-haired stepchild back off on them.

    Syn, if I was into man-love, I would SO do you now... that actually brightened up this whole situation.

    On a totally unrelated note, I just bet there's someone with the handle BlueRabbit over on the US. I can feel it in me carrots!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Your carrots are lying, I checked and its not taken.
  7. Oh dear....



    If I wont be able to change my name when they merge (not that I would) I might as well make it stand out.

    Colour customisation doesn't impress me. I want new sets and zones! New character models (I.e why do we all have to have 2 arms and 2 legs, why not a body like the snakes have?)

    And new cossie parts.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Most - maybe even all - of those will be in GR

    [/ QUOTE ]


    Also, I want updated graphics settings.

    (No offence to anyone for the next part)

    BUUT, I really don't care how bad your pc is. I don't care if 90% of the players are using dinosaurs that can barely render 3D graphics.

    The graphics sliders exist for a reason. So people with £2000 computers like me can slide it WAAAAY to the right, and people with £1.99 computers like most of the CoX playerbase can slide it WAAAAY to the left.

    I don't care if anyone thinks i'm being selfish, I think it is a reasonable request that the game designers command the art department to work like dogs until there is NEW higher res, and MOAR detailed textures, for every surface and mesh in the game.

    That way, people like me can turn the GFX slider even MOAR to the right, and people with £1.99 computers can leave it at the far left.

    And no one's game enjoyment is affected negatively =)

    And no increased graphics would not cause server lag for anyone, because it's YOUR personal computer that renders the graphics, and therefore your GPU that has to do the work (just incase there was the slim chance someone doesn't know how graphics work)

    /rant

    [/ QUOTE ]
    If 90% of the player base left (your figures) due to their PCs being unable to handle the updated graphics the game would close and you'd not have anything to play.

    Personally I'd prefer a game that is enjoyable over cutting edge graphics any day.

  9. Yer, they are really going to do a i15 again aren't they?
    Seriously, people who think customisation is the only good thing to look forward to in i16 are really really naive.

  11. Hi and welcome TheHidden01 and Amireal!

    My main is Thorny Devil.
    What makes him unique is he is the son of A Devil, not THE Devil. He got bored of the same old hell so decided to bring it to the Rogue Isles.His only goal is to become a powerful Villain and have fun while doing it.
    He is married to a fellow Mastermind named Mistress Nekra. She helped bring Thorny back to life when he died fighting a Hero named Bio Lizard, his archenemy.

    On the base side of things, if you still want to have a look around a few bases, you can always have a butchers at mine.
  12. Oh dear...

    *pop corn* Taking bets on when this thread will be locked!
  13. Has to be Doc Buzzsaw and both of her arcs, though Die by the Freak is my most favoured. Teh S00p4rFr34k is such an interesting character and looks pretty cool too. I have 2 toons based around him and the Doc.
  14. Where abouts in Sirens Call?
    I've been badging for almost 3 years and have never been told this.
  15. Max, your a saint. I need this badge and anytime during the day would be good for me.

  17. I'd be interested as an interviewer.

    My broadcasts were ever few mins for about 5mins. 2 of us broadcasting from the SG. Well inside the rules that i was given by the Devs.



    [/ QUOTE ]

    Reading that, you can interpret it that you either broadcast your message a maximum of 2-3 times, or you broadcast it repeatedly for 5 minutes solid, with a few minutes inbetween?

    Can you clarifiy?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    1 broadcast, wait a 2 or 3 mins, 1 broadcast, wait 2-3 mins 1 broadcast. that was it. Oh and my SG leader mate did a different broadcast (So it said different things) at the same time i did mine.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Assuming that your mate made his broadcast at the same frequency you did, that's 6 broadcasts in 5-6 minutes, for the same SG?

    Although it's within the 'rules', I would say that it's too many IMHO.

    You really only need to make 1 broadcast every 10 minutes or so.

    I can see why some people would get annoyed at that amount of spam.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Also, if they both were broadcasting a full chat of text then that's what many would call a 'wall of text' and not everyone likes that. Not everyone has big a monitor so some have small chat boxes and if it suddenly fills with text when you already reading something can be annoying.

    The BIG point about badges are, they're really only there for competing in "I've got the most, I'm so (whatever)" except for the puny amounts of accolades.



    [/ QUOTE ]

    I completely disagree. I collect badges for fun. If I never get them all, I don't care. It will probably be years yet till I get Regenerator and Weatherman (I only badge on my main, which is a villain) but I will get them eventually.

    [ QUOTE ]
    Well, we have to make badges WORTH something.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Badges are already worth some. Most you get inf/prestige and exp from them and some give custom weapons and as you said, go towards accolades. You suggestion for tiny buffs is a bad idea for the same reason Damz gave.

    [ QUOTE ]
    (or just put in on top of it, game's silly easy anyway already in my opinion ).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Fixed that for you. Remember, just because you think something is easy, doesn't mean everyone else does.

    (Yes, let's face it, pvp is as dead as the Amiga OS)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Again, you are wrong. Its not dead. There are a lot of people who still do it.

    Lol like it Heyman.

    I once had a badge called The Chosen one
    But the devs removed it along with a few dozen
    I can no longer brag or Show Off
    But at least I still have Payoff

    I recently recovered from a ban when my nrg/wp brute couldn'tt tank 3 complete groups of dual blades mobs in one of the open maps x) so don't worry to OP.

    Some people are out to screw up other people for no reason, so don't worry if you get petitioned by 10 people man x)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    If I read that right, you were banned becasue you couldn't tank a huge mob?
