ASLO I DEMNADS NEMESIS PONIES!
Are we talking about Bill Clinton's genitals again? -
And the fact that this is a game about SUPERHEROES... it's not The Sims.

Don't be confused, people will ***** and complain no matter what. It's human nature.

Nah, this doesn't seem to be a suggestion or an idea, it sounds like a demand to me.

I was shocked when I made a dual blades/sr scrapper and found out that Argentum was not taken. Look it up, it's Latin.

I requested the creation of a "reduce knockback magnitude" enhancement YEARS ago. I still stand by that request. Let us choose to slot for both MORE knockback AND less knockback... please?

I strangely favour the idea of have access to the Euro servers for NA players and NA to the Euro, mostly because I want to play on the German server and not know what the hell is going on.
This. I would LOVE to be able to have all the servers available to everyone. -
You obviously just haven't read enough of my posts.

My more out-there beliefs have very little place on a forum like this, and I don't feel the need to spout them.

Quote:That's not fair. If people started exercising their free will to avoid the things that bothered them instead of trying to get rules passed to "protect" them from their own failures in self-management...
That'd be more a personal willpower issue than a forum software one if you ask me...
...there'd be no Democratic party!

While the anonymous neg rep on the forums only led to Trolling and Hard Feelings, such a system may have a use in Real Life. I saw someone with Christmas lights on their house last night. I felt like putting in their mailbox a piece of paper where I draw a big red dot and label it: "I consider Xmas lights between Thanksgiving and Dec 1 to be too early, so imagine how big a jerk I consider you."
I'm totally going to start doing this for real. -

Hmmm. So now rep is completely useless rather than being useless but entertaining.
So how does that gel with the original comment about it being "Just a fun little forum game"? -

Incorrect. They can now be viewed only from the post the rep was from.
Which IS kinda useless unless you obsess over your posting history and view each post you have made for responses over the past month or so...
HEY! Stop talking about me behind my back!
Oh wait...

As far as redside goes, the PRIMARY reason why I'm less sure about redside is NOT because I doubt "my skills". Honestly, the reason why I wrote my teaming guide is to take skill out of the picture, as my guide shows my entire process to forming a team. Now everyone can "do what I do".
It's also not because of the population disparity, which does indeed exist between redside and blueside.
No, the reason WHY I'm not as sure on redside is something else entirely: culture.
In my "adventure" taking my villain up to the top level recently, I've seen a DISTINCT difference in culture between the two sides that I'm not sure anyone has realized before. Heroes LOVE to team whenever they can, villains are more ambivalent about it. I'm not sure if that's because of the nature of their POWERSETS, with villains being more "self-sufficient", or if it's in the nature of the game's "story" that conditions villains to be more "selfish" and thus dislike to team as much. But the fact still remains, from my experiences I got a LOT more "nos" trying to form teams villain side as a PERCENTAGE of the population's answers than I ever did hero side.
Villains just simply say "no" to teaming MORE than heroes do, it's that simple. At least that's been my experience. And teaming is ENTIRELY based on someone ELSE'S willingness to join you.
P.S. I really like "quotation" marks for "some reason".

I like this challenge, it's a great idea. Maybe to avoid the heat about the weeks notice, you can list some times that you will likely be online, and also maybe your global so someone can send you a global tell and, if you're free, you can go to their server of choice and take up their challenge.
Good idea, but my job is as a service repairman, so my hours are... to put it mildly... "weird". I'm on call every other week, so I could have to go fix a broken machine at 3 AM sometimes, and that has happened.
And I would give out my global name, but that would take out the PUBLIC aspect of this. The point of this challenge is to show others, that's why those that accept the challenge need to post here. Do it all ingame, and it becomes more private, thus defeating the purpose. -
Quote:WRONG! I have virtually no friends in game. And I haven't used any global chat channels in months. Haven't had any luck with SGs either, too much work.
(with the implication of a large global friends/chat channel list)
I play in nothing but pick up groups, almost always have. So I KNOW what I'm talking about when I say anyone can get a team together. And the timeframe is only for my JOB. If I didn't have a job that took up so much of my time, I'd open the challenge without a warning time frame in it.
It's not like I'll be preparing or anything, I just have to have that much time to get off of work. -
But.... door sitters aren't needed anymore since you can artificially alter your team size now.
Ohhhhhh... it makes so much SENSE now! No wonder why people "can't find teams" anymore! Those door sitters aren't NEEDED anymore! That makes insanely good sense. -
I've already stated this challenge in a few of the threads, but I decided to make it a big, wide, open challenge.
Some people are saying that the game is "dying", and that they can't "find teams". I can't speak for the Euro servers because I'm an American player, but for all the American servers... that's complete BULL.
So I propose a STANDING challenge. This challenge will stand until Going Rogue comes live. I may extend it depending on the public's reaction to Going Rogue.
The challenge is this: If you THINK that this game is becoming a "ghost town" and that you simply CAN'T get a team, post a message to this thread with the following information:- A time I could meet you ingame, at least ONE WEEK in advance so that I can get off of work somehow. Any time of the day, any day of the week.
- The server to meet on, sorry Euro players, US only, and
- Your character name and/or global name so that I may contact you at the appropriate time.
I WILL form a full team for you of 8 ready and willing players. Within a "short" time frame. Short being a relative term of course, but let's say 15-20 minutes to put a number out there.
Now if ANYONE says that this game is a "ghost town", and they "can't get a team", please kindly direct them to this thread and this challenge.
If you do wish to take me up on this challenge and I somehow fail... if this EVER happens during the course of this challenge, then I will accept defeat and post here publicly that I could not get a full team at X time on Y date. Redside might be a slightly different issue, and I may need to adjust the terms of this challenge for villain side, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
If you do wish to take me up on this challenge, and I succeed, then you must agree to stop your incessant whining and tell OTHER people that you see whining that you have been given proof that the game is NOT dead or dying.
And finally, if you are presented with a link to this challenge, and you do NOT accept the challenge, and yet you STILL want to rant about the game "being dead" or "dying", then I believe that you are a fool and will rant as a fool does. But everyone will see that you have been linked to this challenge and have not accepted, and thus do not wish to be proven wrong. Any arguments you make at that point will be considered invalid, due to your unwillingness to accept factual evidence to the contrary.
So, let the games begin!
P.S. I am now awaiting all the comments from people that believe that the game is a ghost town and will try to "prove" it via alternative means and alternative arguments. I'm not going to engage in such arguments. Why? Because in MY opinion, if I can form a FULL team of people willing to play with me on ANY server at ANY time of day, the game is not dying. Period. -
In response to the OP. Someone should really write a guide on how to EASILY form full teams quickly, no matter the server population.
Oh wait... -
It is my real first name, and here's a fun fact: If people can remember the T... somehow those people almost always forget the second E.
Strange... -
I actually quite enjoyed the -rep comments more. Not only because they were more interesting but because they HAD to say something to leave the rep. Even a period is more interesting than no comment at all!
