And then I die?
Whats the deal with this I didnt click my self-destruct power, and its happening every time. Is it a bug or something?
I swear those damn developers 8 years and they still cant fix the bugs in this dumb game, I mean what are they doing with all my money? If they dont fix this bug and give me credit for my deaths Im going to rage quit like no ones ever rage quite before.

At the very least, Duray teleporting shouldn't broadcast to everyone.
I was there. I saw it happen.

If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

Proceed that set of instructions with this...
DO NOT ENTER FACILITY UNTIL READY
OKAY SO DOES EVERYONE KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING?
YOU THERE. WHY ARE YOU GETTING READY TO HEAD INTO THE TRAINING AREA AFTER ACIDS? YOUR LEADER CLEARLY STATED TEAM TWO GOES AFTER GRENADES
OMG CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY THERE ARE 12 PEOPLE AFTER ACIDS AND ONLY 4 TRYING TO COLLECT GRENADES? YOU DO REALIZED YOU WILL NEED THOSE GRENADES TO BATTLE MAURADER RIGHT? NO THE TEAM LEADER DIDNT SAY IT WAS A MASTER RUN AND EVEN IF HE DID .. YOU STILL NEED TO FIND ALL TEN GRENADES YOU JUST DONT USE THEM SOMEONE NEEDS TO GO HELP OUT TEAM 2 .. THEY HAVE THREE BLASTERS AND ONE DEFENDER. CURRENTLY THE ENTIRE GROUP IS WAITING FOR THE DOOR TO THE HOSPITAL TO OPEN AND NO ONE IS GETTING ANY GRENADES!
HEY! STOP FIGHTING MOBS AND CONCENTRATE ON THE GLOWIES OR YOUR LEAGUE WILL MORE THAN LIKELY FAIL THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS TRIAL.
AH GOOD YOU HAVE ALL THE ACIDS. NOW TEAM ONE GO HELP TWO COLLECT GRENADES.
EXCUSE ME? CAN YOU FOUR EXPLAIN TO ME WHY YOU ARE OUT HERE STANDING IN THE SPOT WHERE MAURADER WILL SPAWN INSTEAD OF HELPING FIND GRENADES? THOSE GRENADES WILL HELP YOU BEAT THE AV.. DANCING IN HIS CUT SCENE DOESNT HELP ANYTHING AND JUST IDENTIFIED YOU TO THE REST OF YOUR TEAM MATES AS MINDLESS JERKS!
TIMES IS UP! SO HOW MANY GLOWIES DID YOU GET? 2 ACIDS AND 1 GRENADE? WHAT WERE YOU ALL DOING IN THERE? UMMM MAYBE YOU SHOULD ALL JUST QUIT NOW AND REORGANIZE WITH PLAYERS THAT CAN FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. WHY? CAUSE YOUR ABOUT TO GET YOUR BUTTS KICKED DUH
hehehe
Sorry I loved you post and just HAD to add this in light of the mass confusion that normally erupts during the glowie phase of a Lambda. Oh and I do think my favorite arethe players from team (?) that complete their portion of glowie collection and instead of assisting the other team wait outside to be in the Cut Scene. Always a real pick me up to the team that may have been getting killed right and left by mobs TRYING to get the glowies on the other side and now their league mates are dancing with Maurader instead of taking time to help. ABSOLUTE BEST.. League Leader was the one that went outside and was in the cut scene while the other 15 looking for grenades. If I recall that league broke up RIGHT after mission complete.

Your kidding right? Remember the "Let's all meet in Atlas and Self Destruct together" Parties after that became available? They won't be going what the heck? They'll be trying to figure out where the best spot is to stand so they can all watch each other explode.
"Dude that was SO cool" Lets hit the Hospital now and go back to playing the game. Hey anyone know why the League leader swore like that and then quit?" lol

Oh dear yes! I know we seem to be dumbing down CoX but really those messages are unecessary. So is Maruaders constant spam; I've turned NPC chat off because of him.|

I agree. I didn't like it when Protean was powering up about to do something. Being able to turn them off would be great.
At least with Protean, you can see him starting to pulse. If there's a visual cue for Marauder, I can't make it out in the middle of bedlam. Without the words, he's going to turn invulnerable and there's nothing you can do about it.

I've had a problem with the varying importance of these messages, too.
Some of them are completely unimportant; I'd be happy if just "War Walker Charging Orbital Lance" stopped appearing, because you see the red circle and that should be warning enough, and even then most buffed/melee types can pretty safely ignore that circle.
By itself, this wouldn't be a problem, and I could just sort of block it out if it didn't hide more important messages - Like the Nova Fist message.

I thought of something yesterday actually. Either make it so that one's temporary powers are seeable in the "Info" screen so we can check who has them and who doesn't. Or the easier (for us players, harder for the devs, lol) solution would be to have some sort of buff-like icon appear in the player's buff bar in the team/league window to show who got what temp powers. Being called out may not make them use it, but at least it will allow to "one-star-then-kick-and-place-on-gignore".

Amen. Of all of them, this one irritates me the most. I already know that the $*(&^ teleported away, because I suddenly can't hit him anymore. I don't need the game to rub it in.|

Temblor and Fusion's special attacks are similarly redundant to red text-ify. They're pretty obvious, and you can't really avoid them, so what's the point of announcing it?

Make it an option to turn on or off is fine, but some people like myself may still need the text. Because of the age of my PC I have most graphics turn off (the red circle doesnt appear). Most likely due to my own age I also can't keep scanning the whole screen for visual indicators all the time. A nice big red message that appears in the middle of the screen helps some people a lot.|

Most characters I don't have to worry about the War Walkers Orbital Lance attacks anyway, but for others like my MM it's important.
The more options they give to suit different people the better.
Don't bet on it.
