Thanks for the post, Saxtus!

I’ve just checked it out the official website and noticed a problem with the Union Jack in the 7th picture... See if you can spot it.

It's a common mistake really.

And has (allegedly) been corrected on the latest version on Test Server.

Oh good, coz I was most vexed when I saw the offensive 'flag'. LOL

[/ QUOTE ]

Can someone point out what the problem is? It looks like a normal Union Jack flag to me.

Well - the St Patrick's cross (the red X bit) should be offset slightly (or asymetrical) for each spoke rather than have the top and bottom half offset as in the picture each spoke (or quarter) should be offset. Of course when they fix that its possible some people might say they have it upside down (the correct way should look from left to right, red stripe at bottom on left and red stripe at top on right).

Wikipedia Article

For the record I am not a fan of the flag, but coming from the part of the world I do I hear far too much about it....

---

Pfft, they should just replace it with this Union Jack.

It's not running away. It's advancing in reverse!

Ah! Thats what Union Jack means?
Well, I thought was reference between the Union server and an in-game character that I couldn't combine...

For someone that didn't knew the expression, hopefully you didn't had your hopes high for me to find out what was wrong...

i cant find this offending picture , but isnt the "incorrect" way up a sign of surrender ??

That sounds apocryphal to me, how is the other side supposed to know?

Thats why there's an internation peace flag (aka. the white flag)

So Badgenarok is indeed coming; I notice though that the MA has included the level setting, which will allow me to remove the battles which were previously forcing the level and thus squeeze in EVEN MORE COW PUNS into my arc... hopefully before they award the next round of Dev Choice. What can I say? I'm hopelessly optimistic for some sense of personal progress... not so much about the MA in general though. With the hundreds of thousands of arcs published now, and very little bar the writing to separate them all out, I can't see them being played in general except for farming/cheap salvage now. Oh well, it'll be with us soon enough, so we'll see how it all shakes out...

But your arc IDs in your sig - it might help you get a few more play throughs that way.

I'm not too worried about people playing my arc in particular, although I'd like it to be as polished as possible for personal reasons (hence why I've not released a second one, I can't get close enough to any of my new ideas with the tools as they are)... I'm thinking more in terms of the wider community; I'm just not seeing any interest in either playing or building arcs these days... the MA boards and in game channel are largely dead, at least it seems to me. And whilst I understand the reasons for a 3 published arc limitation, that's stopped the talented creators like Leese et all going any further with it as they've run out of arcs they CAN publish. Whilst the public mostly seem to want farms or have exhausted the concept (most review threads have stopped) and the badgers have Badgenarok ahoy...

I personally have, on the few times I've logged an alt in to occasionally play, been running the normal content instead, as at least you know that scales exactly to your level, and will have a wider variety of events (even if no new plot surprises). But maybe it's just me, and my own sense of personal ennui at the moment.

Flying any flag upside down is supposed to be a distress signal, but it's pretty hard to tell with the Union Jack.

"I know 653 ways to kill a man. Fist to the face is #56."

That's the thing, because it's hard to tell, anyone who doesn't know the flag won't be able to tell, but anyone who does, such as armed forces members, navy sailors etc will be able to tell.

Personally, I'm hanging on for the updated MA toolkit, and then I'm going to rework the hell out of one of my arcs and make the final decision on what I want in slot 3. Getting the 66 plays I've had on my first and "main" arc has been like getting blood out of a stone, so I'll eat paint before I republish that.

---

Cancelled in Three - MA ID #34608. Please play and comment! Top 10 placing in Projectionist's MA contest!

Yup - been holding off tweaks and fixes on my two arcs as well. Hopefully the bugs can be worked out of the toolbox before release though!

It wasn't that it was upside down - it was simply WRONG.

The red diagonal lines should touch the edge of the flag as follows, going clockwise around the flag: upper edge; right edge; lower edge; left edge.

The original flag as drawn in-game was simply one quadrant of the flag, mirrored (but the Union Flag has rotational symmetry, not mirror symmetry), and was thus incorrectly represented. This error has now been corrected (and hopefully someone can produce a screenie of the current version so that it can be verified that it is not being flown upside down).

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.*

Hang on, didn't they say that we would be able to set arc/custom enemy levels in I15?
Cant for the life of me find that on the test server...
Or the rumoured MM pet colouring...I think someone was being a complete goit on that one.

You can set the min and max levels for missions. Go to the "Mission parameters" tab.

Create a boss fight (or ally, or whatever). Scroll down enemy groups until you see "Pets". select a pet. Press button labeled "edit standard critter".

---

I really should do something about this signature.

Holy....!
It took some finding, make a Boss fight, then choose the Boss itself as a pet, not the mob...
Oh dear lord. They have NO excuse for not expanding this to Player owned pets

Added a note to pieces of the Soulbound Allegiance IO set that will warn the player that slotting this enhancement into a pet power that summons a pet that is lower than level 50 will result in the pet not benefiting from the effects of the enhancement.

[/ QUOTE ]

Errm... does this mean it's rendered virtually useless for masterminds then? All of our pets are generally lower level to ourselves aside from one -- our lvl 32 power. As much as I love my Assault Bot and Lich, a set like this would be better served on Battle Drones or Zombie Hordes.

This is the first I've heard of this little issue and im ever so slightly miffed since I've been slotting them into Battle Drones

Avatea corrected this. It DOES affect them, including minion level pets like Imps, Jack and suchnots.
So, yes, it WILL work
