    They have set the limit at 600px X 120px. There are still some around larger than that. Mine is exactly at the limit.

    I was thinking in terms of per server, not globally available, hence my confusion.

    I'm not proposing a solution to anything. Hell, I'm all for merging the server lists.

    Carry on.

    Proof, if ever it was needed, that us in the EU are unequal in the eyes of the Devs
    They don't let EU players buy character slots?

    It's really bad below level 50. Villains have a horrible supply of pre-50 items.

    It's been like this for a long time. The notion that Villains will suffer from a merger boggles my mind after playing both sides, and being able to outfit my heroes for less, and in less time.
    Bolding mine. Honestly, it made no sense then, it makes less than no sense with GR on the horizon. For the people that can't get past RP on their heroes, the Devs could put a market interface in Striga. Just add another "Smuggler".


    I know, the market is blind, but...
  5. I hope they are giving free slots with this expansion, even if only two(one for each new powerset).
  6. Yeah, last nights SF runs were pretty lame.

    Please fix.
  7. Interesting idea, but you would run into snags with robotics. I cannot see the bots using pistols maybe bullets from their existing gun ports would work, and even though the assault bot is a little aggro happy, I just can't see it using the melee moves of the bruiser.

    Then you run into the Bots powers themselves, just think of an Oni wearing the Assault bot's Rocket launchers?

    Ninja Bots using stars and swords, seems a little out there. Nice idea, but implementation would make BAB REALLY hate Villains.

    That's funny. I'm sure he knows that no matter what they do, someone will find a reason to complain.

    Are those somehow better because they were made in public, where everyone else could see them, instead of in a dark corner of the forum where only MageX can see them?
    But, he knows who it came from and had a chance to call you a doo-doo head back. Rep comments are anonymous PM's basically. You don't get a chance to fight back. That's my problem with the system. Seriously, I would arrange some serious neg rep carpet bombing if I knew who the Portector stalker was. Just for the hell of it, since it's a game and all. A game that only one side gets to play is not fair. It should go.
  10. You may want to look at the Announcements page

    edit, forgot the quote

    In the example above, it's "your" when it should be "you're". Personal insults are a fine art, gross ineptitude like this muddies the whole affair altogether.

    It's more like being annoyed. There is some little troll that has been stalking the Protector forum for quite a while now. It started with one starring every thread until five star threads dropped to one. We stopped starring threads in the end. It now moves onto tags and -rep. The trolls will dig up a random post and neg rep almost everyone. For instance, there is a post about reviving an old coalition, everyone that has posted in the thread has gotten neg rep just because they posted. I personally have gotten neg rep because my "server is offensive", because CO is a "waste" (like I designed the game or something), and my favorite was for being an "exploiting cross posting n00b" because I pointed people on my server to a patch note. Now because of the warning, I am sure that these unloved children will continue but without comment.

    gotcha.

    I still think that if your forum handle was tied to any and everything that you do on the forums, we wouldn't be seeing the junk that we do now. A lot of the tags that pop up are just as bad as the anonymous neg rep comments. I think that now the griefers will just neg rep without comment, happy in their anonymity. So I guess that moves me into the turn them off camp.

    Just like they did for the star system.
    The stars are still there. People just stopped using them, and started using tags
  14. I am happy that they are attempting to do something about it. Personally, I wish they could just the anonymity so that I would know who my Cyber Stalker is.
  15. You could always make a pet-less thug/pain MM, and be a gimpy empath.

If there's a third relational table that links the character ID to the SG ID, then it's possible to be in multiple SGs if the database rules allow it.

    One also assumes that any bids or items you have for sale on the black market will either be refunded or lost. Although I guess there's no real reason why bids and items couldn't just stay on the villain market until the day you returned.

    These are all policies the devs will have to work out.

    um, no one said anything about joining another SG. If I take a Villain down the Hero path, and want to work as a double agent or go full Hero, will the character be expelled from it's existing SG. I would hope not, but you never know.
  17. Quick question.

    If one does decide to fully travel the path to the other side, what happens to their SG status?
  18. My Solo SG is called "Rogue Heroes". They will all be turning to the dark side.

    That's pretty much been my experience

    Hey, I got rose because CO is a "waste". Go figure.

    Oh yeah, Lego Indiana Jones and Star Wars are fun as heck.

    An awesome time waster.

    I just wish that the PSP had a second set of shoulder buttons like the dual shock controller, then I would be able to use a manual ******. I dislike the shifting using up and down.
