There already is a thread:

And so people know Gabe and Tycho do not read the forums. But there has been a PA group in City of for ages and there has been a thread since the news broke discussing the game closing.

They've been playing on Beta.

Well to give Primus at least some credit, they did kindly credit the original infobox designer Eisregen which many sites have not. But yeah VV is unique I guess in that we want people to have some creative freedom with their pages rather then forcing you to a specific template. I know Primus and Ouroportal both have specific wiki style templates.

If I was planning to move to CO I'd offer to do a VV style wiki for the game. I was working on some plans to allow people to do expanded universe information on ther VV page for characters outside of COH.

My facebook post about was essentially "THERE IS NOTHING HERE YOU WOULD WANT CHINA."

Because yeah its really weird. The only thing I can figure is maybe for farming emails off then database.

Gladly!

I actually just had to take it offline entirely and replaced it with a funny downtime page. MySQL was going up and down so I'm giving it a break for now.

Help would be greatly appreciated. I should be stateside tomorrow evening so on Sunday hopefully I can get the ball rolling on some plans!

Yeah unfortunately I'm running into the same situation. Father's day is being delayed for me until this coming weekend because of scheduling conflicts. And I'm pretty much 100% certain its going to be Saturday for me.



Edit: Apparently I fail at calendar reading this month. I should be there since its Sunday. Yay

I'll bring the lethal neurotoxin.

I think that sounded vaguely like some sort of challenge?

Thanks!

Yeah, I actually hit a pretty major time constraint when making this. I started work on it two weeks before the event and then had major RL issues crop up and lost pretty much all of the time I had set aside. So unfortunately the hero scenes I wanted to do got axed a bit.

I did originally plan for the villain items to stand out more, after all this was their big plan, the heroes were just reacting to that.

But yeah lack of time. I finished this up literally the night before the event rather then several days before.

True story! Originally I planned to use some instrumental but epic sounding music to go with this. But as I was putting it together how the Glitch Mob remix of Seven Nation Army sounded with it grew on me. So yeah the lyrics don't fit.

I actually couldn't really discuss the objective much in the video, when I did the original storyboard I had no idea how much people would know before the event itself, and I had to edge around not remotely giving away the secret ending.

The whole story revolved around the heroes rallying to save the world (or at least the eastern seaboard of the US) from Phanto's plan to create a psychic bomb. The main villains spent time convincing other villains to aid them in creating the distractions and taking down some of the challengers to help the plan succeed.

But yeah I look back on it now and there are quite a few things I'd do differently, for at least the sake of clarity. But it was a great way to learn, especially under the gun I had to figure out some creative fixes to a few issues I had.

Thanks for the critique! There will definitely be more, probably way more cut scenes for the SG I'm in and I'm mulling trying my hand at a news segment. It's really a lot of fun being able to build my own scenes in game, I wish I'd learn to do it sooner.

Well the event had a massive turn out, we actually filled Sirens Call and had a second one open with people in it. So we'll definitely be doing more, everyone really seemed to have fun, we were all blown away by the response.

It'll be advertised in the Virtue area and on VirtueVerse and I'll probably try to make sure it goes elsewhere as well next time around.

Invite them to team, let them enter and they drop team. It doesn't kick them from the mission.

Before AE was around we use to do this to have more then one team in a story mission for RP.

I nailed you a few times though I don't think I actually killed anyone during the event. I spent a lot of time face planted. But it was a lot of fun, I'm always happy to play a target for Hero rage.

I want to thank all of the people that put a ton of effort into this, I was really psyched about this well before hand, enough so that I taught myself demo editing to make an awesome video. It was an amazing idea and even with hiccups well executed.

I'm definitely looking forward to more.
