Freedom Corps (their Longbow division at least) already operate in the Rogue Isles in vast numbers...
[/ QUOTE ]
As a hostile force. Not setting up shops in the high street.
[ QUOTE ]
Not aware of any Hero Corps presence there at the moment.
[/ QUOTE ]
There isn't but Hero Corps are an international organisation, with a reduced presence in Paragon City as oposed to the rest of the world. As they accept payment for heroing, they are a moraly grey mer-canary organisation.
[ QUOTE ]
I also don't see any reason why the PCC missions need to be presented by the same faction red and blue side, though (cf. Wentworths and the Black Market as different front ends for the same system)
[/ QUOTE ]
True.
I really should do something about this signature.

Have you played yet? Trust me the shine will definatly wear off.
[/ QUOTE ]
No, I haven't played it. I have, however, bothered to research it before wetting myself on how terrible Issue 13 might hypothetically be. The shine will wear off. Yes, and? The shine wears off everything and anything.
Doesn't mean it's any less enjoyable when I do get my hands on it. With that attitude you might as well quit the poor attempts at criticising the game and cancel your account now. It'll lose the shine after all.
[ QUOTE ]
Theres only a handfull of people who will be any good at this. Yet I can hear thousands of budding missions writers just waiting to waste thier time with something hardly anyone will play unless the rewards are there.
[/ QUOTE ]
Rewards are going to be there. Thousands of people are already writing stories in character bios and the like. The mission creator, as it's been explained, is accessible to a broad range of individuals.
[ QUOTE ]
And the people who realise their rubbish at making stories will give up, by the thousand. Leaving something that took massive amounts of work, getting dusty in the corner.
[/ QUOTE ]
Thousands of people are complete rubbish at the game itself. Doesn't stop them playing or enjoying it.

Ill be honest the only reason my account is still active is x4 and the vain hope that there mite be some other fun stuff in i13, but as they havent announced anything, it means none of its ready. And if its not ready, it may well not be ready in time.
I enjoy massive parts of this game, but I hate repeatative missions. The mission creator feels like one massive repeatative mission.

ffs, Im not being funny but I was trying to discuss my concerns over a feature update, and all you [censored] [censored] can do is tell me to quit. Well [censored] you both.

You lost your shine when I discovered you hadn't even read about the mission creator. Sorry about that.

To you, yes. That's no excuse to blabber about how the game is failing, the developers aren't giving content and how thousands of people are going to lose interest in the game. M'kay.

Can you read? I never discussed the game as a whole, only certain parts of it. And I read the announcement and then I read the thing praf posted neither one made any difference, I still dont like the idea and the waste of dev time.

That's because you're hellbent on hating the game. It's quite clear with your hyperbole about "thousands" hating the idea, making judgements based on ignorance (any later adjustments are irrelevant: fact is you whinged when you didn't have all the facts) and so on.

Have you been taking Evil lessons off Kerensky?
tbh if he was hellbent on hating the game would he still pay his subs?
Nicky is expressing his opinion which he's not alone with and he get's told to quit cause somebody doesn't agree with it? We'd have, what? 10 people left if everyone quit cause of disagreements.
CoH PvP SG = SuperUnion - Co-Leader - Union/Freedom
CoV PvP VG = Disruption - Co-Leader - Union/Freedom

They want to make the next announcement BIG.
Personally I can't see what they can do that's bigger than they already have, but I'm willing to be wrong! 
I expect they'll time it to coincide with something that makes sense to the marketing gurus. What the heck that might be I have no idea.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

When someone uses "BUT THE SHINE WEARS OFF" to curb enthusiasm, then I think it's fitting for that logic to get thrown back at him. If you're going to commit yourself to tha kind of viewpoint, then nothing is going to please you and it's pointless to just sit around complaining about it.
point about 'wasting time writing missions', base editing is 'wasting time' making the base pretty....
point being none of that is 'wasting time' because people enjoy it and playing the base editor and playing the mission creator...
its only wasting time in your opinion...
i for one would like it so that the mission creator and the base editor had the ability to have a 'universal' tab float over, so you dont miss chat or have to exit the editor to respond - it'd make onine collaboration with the editors much more user friendly.

They're far less of a waste of time that something like PvP is too! With base editing or mission writing, you have something tangible that you get to share with other people. With PvP you get to wave your tackle as some newbie who will never return, and watch your hard earned PvP rep vanish into nothingness if you don't keep on wasting your time. No tangible reward at the end of it, so a total waste of time.

[/ QUOTE ]In fact, the entire game is a waste of time. That's why it's called a game.

IMHO the mission creator will appeal to about 10 people after the hype has died down, then we'll be left with an empty issue, gg devs.
[/ QUOTE ]
Maybe, maybe not. Lets at least wait till it appears (on the live servers!) and we've seen what we can do rather than dismissing it out of hand at this early stage.
Before this goes any further: quit it with the personal posts. It's against the forum rules the way some people have couched their responses recently in this thread. Everyone is entitled to express their opinion, as long as they do so within the forum rules. No one is entitled to tell anyone to leave because they don't like an expressed opinion, or the method that opinion is expressed.
If you feel a forum rule has been broken, tell one of the community team here and we'll take a look. In the meantime - don't make your own attacks as well.

You can do that already in the base editor if you press Enter and then click in the chat window.

When I stayed in Australia 3 out of the 4 people I was staying with were as Cynical as I am, the one that wasn't had emigrated from the UK when she was 14. So the natives weren't optimists by nature........ unless Cynics naturally gravitate to each other

�How do I like my MMOs? I like them the way Paragon Studios used to make them.� - a fitting tribute from kiasa.org
EU, Union mostly.
So quit whining and leave. Seriously what the hell is left that you like, 'nothing' in the last issue, 'nothing' in this issue... And what the hell is likely to change that? More power sets, check. More zones, check. More unique missions, check. /rant
), you only have to look at other games that allow the fan base to make stuff for it to see how much latent unused talent there is out there. It may well be true that only 10 people use the designer, but you can be pretty certain that the content that they produce will be on a par with if not better than content written by the developers.
The mission creator is only one part of the issue, and unless I have completely missed an announcement or five there is still stuff to be added to what they have said is coming.
IMO I think the mission creator is actually one of the biggest things to happen to the game since launch (EU wasn't around for i0
Personally I think that there will be a hell of a lot more than 10 hard core mission designers out there, who will make amazing missions. And thats not counting those of us who just think we can write great missions... there will be far more of us.
