I would like to see something done about the pre-20 endurance situation.

[/ QUOTE ] Slot better.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm well aware of the necessity of slotting endurance reduction early on, as well as using blue inspirations.

Like I said in my earlier post, I feel like neither of these options is enough. Dealing with a lack of endurance does not make the game more fun for me. I also don't regard it as a challenge. It just slows things down and makes the pre-20 levels boring for me .

[/ QUOTE ]

fixed.

I don't find the pre-20 levels boring. I also don't seem to run out of Endurance as fast as you either.

I guess my system has a different set of physics than yours which means the Devs think I'm awesome.

Just think what they could do if they had gone on a hiring spree and drastically increased the size of their staff, and were writing their code from scratch instead of using a competitor's game engine?

Oh, but I've said too much already.

[/ QUOTE ]
They've done the first part. I don't get what you're saying.

[/ QUOTE ]
I believe that was a "subtle" hint at a CoH2.

[ QUOTE ]
anyone remeber jack emmert and how people disliked him because he made the game into his vision rather then giving players what they wanted?

[/ QUOTE ]
For the most part, I think Jack's problem wasn't in the "vision" but in the delivery of information about the "vision". Jack isn't really much of a people person.

Actually, most of the threads I've seen where an AE kiddy is asking legitimate questions about the game, the players sigh and answer them anyway, trying to tactfully advise the player to play through the game the proper way.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's hilarious how all playstyle scolds think their way is the "proper" way.

[/ QUOTE ]

But they're all wrong. My way is the right way.

[ QUOTE ]
Left over MUD/MUSH convention. When I am speaking IC, it is evident. In a modern setting game, it may not be evident when I am not unless I make an explicit reference to the game mechanic, but just as I dislike emoticons (weak substitute for clarity in writing) so do I dislike (()) and similar notions.

[/ QUOTE ]

But if you RPed a character like Red Mage then you could talk about the game mechanics and still be in character.

Hey Katze. o/

I only have 3 Cat-peoples. CatgirlAlex, a scrapper who just wears fake cat ears, Faux Kitty, a Stalker who also wears fake cat ears, and Kat-tastrophy, a scrapper with stripes, non-fake ears, and a tail.

Did someone summon me by accident again?

I don't really believe in luck so I'll wish you Great Skill in finding a new job.

If you get nervous during job interviews... just picture your interviewer wearing Statesman's uniform. That half-helmet alone should erase the nerves.

If your interviewer is a female do NOT... I repeat... DO NOT picture her in Sister Psyche's outfit. Either you will be so pleasurably distracted you won't remember the question or you'll be fighting a gag reflex so strong you won't be able to vocalize an answer.

[/ QUOTE ]

Huh? what was the question again?

[ QUOTE ]
I admire your tenacity, The_Dude73. I'm still trying to hold the line on comma splices. It's hard, though.

[/ QUOTE ]
Splice those commas. Attach them to other punctuation marks. create the semi-claimation point!

I really shouldn't get up 4 hours before I have to go to work...

I have been away from the game for a while, and now I am back and am hearing talk about "catgirls". WTF is a catgirl?

They are the source of the invention salvage drop "Essence of the furries"

Your link is Error 403: Forbidden. Iiiinteresting.

Neither was Jafar. He was an ANGRY RED!

Of course, he was also a villain...and we all know that they're from the red-side...

[/ QUOTE ]


He wasn't a genie, he was a Djin.

[/ QUOTE ]
He wished to become an all powerful Genie. So, he was a Genie with phenomenal cosmic powers...and an itty bitty living space.

[ QUOTE ]

That would be unneccessarily messy for the backend. Every time Castle would need to change the Teleport power he'd have to change each variant as well, not to mention that BAB would have to make 30 new animations for each of the new variants. An animation for each model, male, female, and huge, for both on the ground and in the air.

Also, the Sprint variants clutter up my enhancement screen too much, it'd be the same thing with these new Teleport powers.

[/ QUOTE ]
Shhhhh with your logic and stuff. My suggestion was a spur of the moment one with no thought whatsoever to any of the factors you mentioned. I never claimed it would be easy or viable... simply a single way to implement the idea that had been suggested.

Do you know of a better way to change the animation of a travel power without getting rid of the existing one?

Edit: Spelling

[/ QUOTE ]
Maybe in a similar method to which they dealt with costume change emotes...?

Of course, BaB would still have to create a ton of animations for the various methods of TPing, and they'd have to un-bake the current animation from the power...then add in <lots of work>.

I've always found this game to be far more hard-coded than it needed to be. Of course, that does tend to save processing time, but still...

[ QUOTE ]
Sorry but this makes no sense to me, how/why would a Tech origin character gain access to a Mutant animation?

[/ QUOTE ]

With The technology that we are able to role Play our characters having, a Technology Origin Hero (or villain) could easily make their entire power usage look like anything from any other origin.

Sufficiently advanced Technology is indistinguishable from Magic (or Mutant, Science, and Natural)...

Neither was Jafar. He was an ANGRY RED!

Of course, he was also a villain...and we all know that they're from the red-side...

Generally, it would denote a comment that was Out Of Character, or OOC.
Of course, I could be wrong. But, I'm 95% certain that would be it.

This should get you as far back as the last 2 years.

Enjoy.

Come on, noone sees the funny in making a character for his set of anti giant monster, but a character for your mom? Cause she is a giant monster.

[/ QUOTE ]
Sorry dude, I detect no funny here. I think if I knew what an "anti-GM" is, it might have registered... but appending "your mom" to things has not, nor ever will be funny.

[/ QUOTE ]

However, appending "without pants" to many lines in the Lord of the Rings movies is hilarious.

"One simply cannot walk into Mordor...without pants."

or

"You...Shall not....pass...without pants!"

How about this example?

I know. You can barely see the ears...

[ QUOTE ]
If people asking questions you perceive as simple is an annoyance you're one of two things:

* Jaded. You've played this game for waaayy to long. Time for a new way to pass your free time.
* You're mean, plain and simple.

[/ QUOTE ]

I would like to add a third option. In a way, its sort of a compliment.

you could also have a higher expectation of the common sense and intelligence of your fellow players.

I get annoyed driving to work every day because half the people on the road fail to meet my expectations of their intelligence and common sense. That doesn't mean that I'm jaded or mean. It just means that I expect people to use their brains for more than just autonomic functions.

Nay.

The holodeck addicts need at least a couple of reasons to venture out into the wider world.

[/ QUOTE ]Why? Give me 12 good reasons why we "have to" go "outside".

[/ QUOTE ]

1.) TF's
2.) Trials
3.) Tailor Shops
4.) Trainers
5.) Mothership Raids
6.) Hamidon Raids
7.) Cimerora
8.) Ouroboros
9.) Super Groups
10.) Accolades
11.) Badges
12.) Costume Contests
13.) Role play
14.) Sunlight

[/ QUOTE ]LOL

1-10 are good, but I can get badges inside, I don't do CCs or RP, and when was the last time you saw SUNLIGHT in Paragon City?

(I am impressed, though. I only came up with 8!)

[/ QUOTE ]
But to get some of the Accolades, you need to get specific badges that you can't get inside. So, badges count as a reason to go outside.

I see sunlight about every 10 or 15 minutes in Paragon City...unless I'm in a mission. Then I see florescent ceiling light that makes my eyes go all twitchy. Or was that the CoT boss trying to get "romantic"...

[ QUOTE ]
Is it semi realistic? I suppose so but it's also annoying, time consuming, and half the time they try to lure you, when not at full strength, into a health group of minions, Lieutenants, or whatever.

[/ QUOTE ]
I wold call that better tactics on the NPCs part. Its something I do with my Mastermind all the time. Its what Tanks do as well.

Wait are you sure about that?

[/ QUOTE ] No.

I've heard random stories such as how somebody couldn't afford a certain treatment so the hospital went with the cheaper option, in this case in meant amputating a leg.

I have no proof of anything like this, as it was just some story I heard. But knowing how businesses operate, it wouldn't surprise me.

/sarcasm

Ya gotta love what corporations have done to America.

[/ QUOTE ]

In the case of medical care, its not just the corporations. The Government has a hand in that as well. As do a few other factors.

[ QUOTE ]
I think it's because in game, I have hardly ever had a gold title. I've been in the wrong pocket d, or on a different server, and by the time someone blurts out "DEV IN POCKET D!" and I get there, they're long gone.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm, I've had that same problem...except I've never heard about the Dev's being in Pocket D until about 2 days later on the forums. I think I'll blame work for that.

[ QUOTE ]
heheheh. Awesome. I love it when I say things that wind up in siggies.

[/ QUOTE ]

I never get sigged At least not that I know of anyway. I'm sure I'll survive another 5 years at least if I never get sigged, so its not a big deal I guess.

Congrats on the getting Sigged, Zek
