Hurley&Ben; the mystery man with the heart of gold and the schemer who'd sell his own mother to get what he wants. They're nothing alike. They have a secret Island base.
And together... THEY FIGHT CRIME!

Quote:Also- the pieces on the beach were clearly from a widebody twin-aisle airliner, and the Ajira plane was a 737 single-aisle narrowbody. And the "bent up wingtips" are called winglets. Yes, I'm an aerospace engineer. I've designed some of those parts.Originally Posted by Mr_Hellcat
The Ajira one. It's more angular and has bent up wingtips.

I'm a little disturbed by all the civilians in lab coats with groceries. Are they performing experiments on salami?

How about some bits of the "environment" that should be variable, but never change? As an example, there's a particular shopping cart that's been parked in King's Row between Wentworth's and Blue Steel for several years now. You don't have to make it so that our toons shove it around. I'm thinking of having stuff like that periodically vanish, move up and down the street, etc. Re-arrange the parked cars&pleasure boats. Change the ships docked at the piers.

Another bit of advice: Don't fear death or the hospital. Some games have severe penalties for dying; CoH doesn't. Some games have penalties for resurrecting at a hospital; CoH doesn't.
Below level 10, there is no penalty for dying other than the time it takes to walk back from the hospital. Above level 10, a death will inflict "Debt" on you. This does not affect game play, it just briefly halves the rate at which you earn experience. There's a limit on how much debt you can earn, and the limit is fairly low. So you can't get much debt even if you tried.
Death does not cost any gear, salvage, or money. There is no looting of corpses. You don't have to go find your "dead body". -

Try to click on the team window, and press the Quit Task Force button.

Quote:One possible way to get a reading on the popularity of that TF: If I recall correctly, the only triggers for a Riki Invasion are this TF, and the Rikti Invasion weekends. So you can think about how often you see Invasion announcements during regular game play; each one means somebody just finished the LGTF. Obviously, this technique does not count failed attempts.Originally Posted by Myriad
Again, no change here, so what makes it harder now? I would go and check it out myself, but it seems the LGTF is not very popular atm, couldn't find or build a team so far.
And that's actually my personal gripe if this TF really does become unpopular for this or some other reason. I've never run it myself, but I enjoy the Zone Invasion events quite a lot. -
I found one indirect kludge: Expand an item that's been purchased. Get the item. Now the trade wondow won't have any expanded items in it. Not really effective, as I'd have to buy some piece of vendor trash to "close" the expanded window.

Favorite would be the Rez power; seconded by the market teleporter.

Another limitation is due to the player's hardware. Example: I'm sure it would be technically possible for the Devs to let all of us sport multiple cape-like features: wavy scarves, frilly bits, streamers from the limbs, ribbon headbands, flowing hair, etc. At the cost of flooring the framerate on every player who lacks a cutting-edge graphics card.
The converse, of course, is that this game can't maintain infinite backwards compatability *forever*. -

Along with more costume options, I can suddenly see a group of players creating a Super Group called "The Rats of NIMH".

Maybe we could combine the two, so an Incarnate could be called an ei, or an ei-origin avatar - an ei/ei-o player would probably be very effective in the AE.
Actually, an ei/ei-o player would be a farmer, right? -

Just for fun, let's all start timed missions at 1:59am Sunday morning right before the clock jumps forward for daylight saving time.

Quote:It might make more sense to code it up such that only SG members see the bought billboards. To be an effective inf sink, you'd need to sell this to a *lot* of people, and that way you can sell the same billboard to all the SG's. Which would make it more of an ego-stroking than an ad campaign.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
i vote this, then you could advertise your sg on the billboards existing in the outdoor game, although i dont know how hard it would be to implement

Quote:My group's habit: Cast the card on the name below yours on the team list. Bottom-most player buffs the top. Do that when you first enter the map; the whole team's buffed in a few seconds. The sound of the buffs ringing out will remind those who forgot about it, and there's no need to pause for conversation to ask who buffs who.Originally Posted by Steele_Magnolia
Simple.
You can only cast one. It has a slow recharge time. You can cast one at the start of the map on one player. Then you cast again when it recharges. With players running willy nilly all over the map after entering you cast when you can. -
Quote:I think that's because the attatchment points for the packs simply aren't linked to the sliders. Adding that capability could be done, but would be a lot of work.Originally Posted by MindGame1
I wonder why they can't have the jetpack move with the sliders.

Ninja Run looks great on some toons, but silly on others. Don't know what a good alternate might be, though. Any suggestions?

Quote:Could this be used as a form of denial-of-service attack? I buy 20 Training enhancements and send them to you; now you can't receive email until you delete them.Originally Posted by Hallowed
No. You need to re-read. You can send to any global name, including your own.
Not sure why anybody would want to do this, but somebody will come up with something.... -
Quote:Hey, I sorta did this one last year at PAX, when I threw a pad of Post-Its beneath Postron's chair......Originally Posted by Steelclaw
* Forum Tag: Okay, this one is definitely not a group-game. Actually, it's more like a dare. I dare you all... myself included since I'll be there... to wait until you see a developer go to the bathroom. You follow and... once they have vacated the stall/urinal/etc... jump in immediately after them and yell "First in after a Red-Name!" at the top of your lungs.

While I only have one account, I often team with my RL twin brother and his wife. We get accused of dual-boxing or even triple-boxing sometimes.

How many Ebil Marketeers does it take to change a light bulb?
Just one. But he'll spend all week waiting for a low bid on the new bulb to fill. -

Never done a raid before, and my highest toon is a lvl 45 Claws scrapper. Would there be a point to my showing up?
