Power Suppression inside Wentworths
Thank you for the suggestions. Your assumption that I did not search before posting is
incorrect. 7 pages into a search for "suppression" I found a thread started by Hyperstrike. I believe that with enough threads on the subject someone may eventually pay attention. You may believe I am wrong, and I'm willing to accept that you may be right. |
Absolutely not. I cannot state my objection to this idea strongly enough.
What they should instead do is have a separate room, similar to studio B in the architect building, where power suppression is in effect, and leave the main part of WW alone.
We don't need our powers there, we need a higher capability to handle many people in the same spot, by as many people as possible. When I go to WW during the high activity times with my laptop (a powerful laptop though) I have problems. I can only imagine what someone running on next to minimum is experiencing.
Also, if they really don't like the idea, state WHY you don't; otherwise well you have no support to your argument.

They mint say they would,but I doubt it. It is not earth shattering or game breaking.

From my point of view it is very annoying, being in a close space where it seems everyone is constantly buffing or foot stomping, ect, with all the visuals and associated noises.
Personally, I just feel it's a missed opportunity for fairly little overhead. The Black Market can literally have a sewer grate right next to it which leads to a capped-off sewer entrance with a few stalls of "extra exclusive goods" which are too obvious to be held topside, like long-range missiles, vehicles and suchforth.
I'm not sure it'd be as cheap to make for Wentworth's, but I would personally be happy with an emptied-out office building with crates piled up, or indeed even a generic warehouse. It'd be like... Well, you can browse our catalogues, or if you really really want to, you can search our warehouse. We have many things already stocked. See if you spot something you like. That's basically what super markets here are, anyway - giant hangar warehouses where the first two rows are presentable and everything from there up is boxed crates and shrink-wrapped pallets.
Samuel_Tow is the only poster that makes me want to punch him in the head more often when I'm agreeing with him than when I'm disagreeing with him.

If we could get a rep or something similar in our bases then people could market in privacy.
Best suggestion so far would be a room where people can go with suppression.

Personally though, i don't care which form of suppression gets implemented as long as something IS implemented as i've long since grown tired of MM pets clogging up the markets, with flashy auras from people throbbing around for good measure and crap.
Are other players powers annoying you at the markets? Hi, I'm Maniac_Raid, and I'm here today to help give you a few tips to ease the suffering. /em bigcheesytoothygrin
So, all those sounds, like the DS pets, and arctic wind just grating on your nerves when you trying to buy IOs? It turns out, that if you turn down the volume on your computer, these sound effects can fade away into nothingness! That's right!
Someone's got their toggles on, be they shadow fall, bubbles, or even fiery auras, and it's slowing you down with lag? A little hint. After you've brought up the market menu, you can zoom in with your mouse, or via pressing the "b" key(provided you haven't placed your own bind there) until you're in first person mode. Then, just stare at your feet! Now if the market is packed tight, some power effects can still get in your line of sight to your feet. In this case, just inch away a little bit. You don't have to be standing so close to the market NPCs that your arm hairs touch!
Is there a tanker or brute who's spamming Footstomp, or a Kheldian who keeps shapeshifting, and it's shaking your screen something awful? Look in your options menu, you can disable the camera shake!
So with a little effort on your part, you don't have to annoy someone else, by asking them to not annoy you!

Seriously now, yes it can be, and is annoying. Personally, I run on min settings, and with my sound turned off via the options menu(No sound being sent to comp from the game makes it so I get almost zero lag during mothership raids, and the like.) And there are times when I'm just flying/running/jumping by the markets and I get lag spikes. You have my sympathies, really. While it would be nice if everyone was nice, and considerate of others, it's not going to happen. Sure there some out there, but no matter what, just like in real life, there are people who just don't care about you.
Travel suppression added to the markets as is? Not likely to happen. As others have said, passerby/overs could get caught in it. Secondly... this. I'm sure there are plenty of marketeers who would riot if they couldn't summon their portable workbenches at the markets.
Adding a studio b style room is more likely possible. Both WW and BM have doors nearby. Currently their only use is as a "Zone in" door when using the market TP powers. Add a room underneath the map geometry, making it an "indoor space" like the Praetorian market, and you're golden.
In case the begining of this post confused some folks, I'll try to clarify. In the state I live in, I have the right to stand on the sidewalk and smoke a cigarette. You have the right to breath clean air. But you don't have the right to tell me to move off the sidewalk, so you can breath clean air. Normally, I move anyway to be polite, but sometimes, I just want to chill. Don't inconvenience me, when you know you're about to walk into a cloud of smoke.
That's my experience. With my DS/dark MM running all pets and powers running, I just go to St Mart - the BM with no one around. Just who is being bothered by powers here? The Tsoo mobs off to the side?

When I see characters like yours, (by that I mean lots of auras running, multiple pets) I simply use the other Market Rep.
When on my MM, I park my pets off to the side with a /goto. The Cap Market is often swarming with pets climbing all over the market reps, trying to place thier own bids.
Why should I need to? I pay the same amount per month to play this game as you do. Therefore, my opinion counts for exactly as much as yours does, regardless of the reasoning behind that opinion.

If you jab and jab by saying no without backing that you are just jabbing your mouth with no backing.
Here's a wild, crazy, off the cuff idea...put a Wentworths in every AE building with a suppressed and unsuppressed floor. There's alot of unused space between the bottom floor and Studio B.
Storyline: AE and Wentworths have partnered to bring more services to their customers through out paragon City and the Rogue Isles.
Design wise: Have an identical Wentworths and Wentworths Quiet that are accessed through the AE elevator. Have some Wentworths reps, a merit vendor in their hideous outfit, and throw in some invention tables for good measure. Also add a store or stores, perhaps one for each origin with an appropriately themed booth. Heck go all out and add a Icon rep.
It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.
Forbin Project & Sharker Quint, he asked.
Unsubstantiated comments, are just that. Ether they are lazy, stupid, and/or they have anterior motives and unable or willing to at least give a cover stories.
P.S. Notice how in both cases they are ether lazy or stupid in the end.
