  1. Heh, if I wanna street sweep for fun, I'll take one of my 50s into AP and start AOEing everything in sight.

    That's a matter of opinion. The "fun" part, that is. Has nothing to do with the reward for me. Fun is the reward.

    ...don't we already have those? We call 'em "street sweeps".

Well, you don't care about lore and so it doesn't matter one way or another.
    What int he bloody hell does "the face of the game" have to do with lore?

    I'll answer that in case you're having trouble: Jack @#%$.

    Like hell it was. Just because you couched it in friendly terms doesn't mean it wasn't condescending.

    Oh, it doesn't count if you're insulting the DEVS.... Because, you know, they're not people so you can spit whatever hate and baseless accusations you want at them. Gotcha.

    Yes, only you are allowed to be condescending and patronizing. My apologies.

    That's my take on the reasoning for killing Statesman

    What's your take on it?
    Well, as I said above, the fact that he was the character that was the in-game representation of the man who is now the head of the game's direct competitor. Removing him for that reason isn't "spite", it's just plain good business sense.

    ...as if he was so highly developed before it. Hell, he was barely in the game at all before it.

    What has taken the wind right out my sails with this game is the removal of Statesman - and the underhanded way it was engineered.

    I still can't believe that the game's most recognisable character should be written out of the game, purely out of spite.

    I thought Miller would be above that sort of thing.
    You know what they say about assumptions...

    And, yeah, that's all your accusation is. Spite? Seriously?

    Most recognizable? Maybe. Marketable? Pff, yeah right. Actually, it seems he was pretty widely viewed as an over the top, one-dimensional Mary Sue.

    He was also the in-game representation of the man who left to head up a company making the game's biggest competitor in the genre. So, yeah, I'm only surprised it took them this long to remove him. But I wouldn't call that "spite".

    Seriously, there's really no excuse to not know...

  11. It's true of people in general, not just on these forums.

    You realize you don't have to save every single bit of salvage that drops, right?
  13. Most people will burn out on any game eventually. What boggles me is that some people seem to think this means the game is flawed in some critical way. It's not. It's normal. I'm not saying there are no flaws in the game, just that tiring of the game simply will happen for most people. Some can keep at it indefinitely, others' attentions will eventually wander elsewhere. This happens with every game. There's no need to look for flaws in the game to blame it on because there's nothing to "blame".

    Nope. Next question?

    Do the WTF for a Notice of the Well each week, which can be broken down into shards. Or run trials and use threads to make your incarnate powers.

    But I miss being able to pop in to Wentworths and find a bunch of folk hanging out doing their thing. IMHO the game needs *more* public gathering places where your character can feel like part of an actual CITY of Heroes.


    So, how to incentivize players actually using the actual market locations?

    Well, I'm glad you asked...

    A convenience fee on remote transactions!
    Yes, a bunch of people standing around not interacting with anyone and spamming AOE powers. God, how I MISS that.

    No. Take your effort to force us to uphold your vision of how we should be playing the game and shove it someplace dark and smelly.
  18. ...and this is why I didn't post this here in the first place. A redname comment when it was moved, and now ignored.

    And you can do this with an announcement at the beginning and a few reminders during. It is not necessary to SPAM THE CHANNEL CONSTANTLY during the event. It's disruptive and obnoxious and, frankly, the dismissive attitude to complaints about it ( More than just this thread, I see them constantly in other channels in-game when they're happening as well ) is disrespectful of the people who are paying your salary. And I really hate to pull out that argument ( in fact, usually am against it ), but it seems in this case, a reminder is needed...

    Quote:
    it's very important that everyone know a live event is happening.
    Not for those who don't care about live events. They'd fall under the category of "everyone". I'm not trying to stop or reduce the number of live events, just lessen the intrusion on the game experience for those who aren't interested.

    Quote:
    Also, keep in mind that some of the "admin chat" is actually done in the "zone admin" channel which only hits the map it's on.
    The balance, however, is too heavily shifted toward the global admin channel. Far more than is necessary to "make certain that everyone knows the event is happening" goes into the global admin channel.

    And this is all I'm looking for. Limiting it to an announcement and reminders, not taking it COMPLETELY out of the global admin channel.

    Edit: By the way, you're in an internet forum for a game dedicated to a computer RPG based on comic book superheroes. You have ZERO room to criticize anyone's geekiness. We're all geeks here.

    Yes. And, again, I wouldn't mind a short announcement of the event at the start and a reminder occasionally during. But several lines at a time spammed every couple minutes? Screw that.

    I have nothing against the events themselves and in no way want them to reduce/stop them. It's just the ADMIN spam that irritates the @$%^ out of me. And they could easily do the events without it.

    3. If you are using a global channel for your RP/chat channel, don't use the same color (red) the Admin channels uses.
    Oooooooor, they could remove the problem themselves by not using the channel that spams every tab of every window with big, bold, red text for every damn tiny little thing during the event. Especially when doing so is totally unnecessary.

    RP chat tends to go faster depending on the number of people involved and the red text scrolling it of has a bigger impact on things. It's disruptive and annoying. If you don't think so, more power to you. But, you don't use chat as heavily as I do, clearly. When you're nose deep an a big fight, the chat text is mostly irrelevant. ( Unlike some other MMOs where raid coordination takes more communication ) When you're RPing, the chat text is everything.
