Quote:Correct, Permadom was never nerfed.Originally Posted by Papaschtroumpf
so I takd it permadom was never nerfed? (returning after a few years, so still catching up with the game changes).
that might make the difference between keeping or deleting my Plant/Thorn -
I find the coincidence of your board name in this thread..... remarkable.

Was there a man dismay'd ?
Not tho' the artist knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do & die,
Into the bare smooth crotch
Rode the six hundred.
Crotch to right of them,
Crotch to left of them,
Crotch in front of them
Volley'd & thunder'd;
...
OK, inspiration fails... -
And here is my feeble attempt.
============================
Under a spreading chestnut tree
The City's Hero watch'd;
The Hero, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy crotch;
Mayhap putting it at the login screen
may well have been a botch.

I'm a poet,
and I know it,
and my feet show it
They're Longfellows.
Which BTW is who I own an apology to for butchering The Village Blacksmith. -
Quote:Might I inquire as to the original?Originally Posted by Megajoule
I met a traveller from a city of heroes
Who said:- On the login screen Statesman stands
Still invincible, in a Kirby pose
(But not, alas, an outstretched hand)
With feet apart and crotch displayed
His trademarked half-masked visage stern
Greeting both subscribers paid
And lapsed Premiums on their return.
And in a booming voice I think I hear:
"I am Statesman, paragon;
Look on my crotch, ye mighty, and know fear!"
Nothing else remains; Cole's met his fate
Story arc cutscenes, it seems clear,
Can kill even an immortal Incarnate. -
Quote:I haven't read the PW link on the Ouro badge, but I seem to recall that if you have a Pillar of Ice and Flame in your SG base and use it to do a flashback mish that should give you the badge.Originally Posted by RogerWilco
Thanks, that link was very useful. Apparently the only way I can get it now, is in Lord Recluse's Victory. I did do some missions for Vincent Ross and Marshall Brass, but apparently I outlevelled them before I could do enough of the stories. I did the whole Aeon Conspiracy arc but don't remember Marshall Brass having more missions after that.
I haven't tested it recently though, so I could be mistaken. -
Quote:Digital displays (projectors and flat panels) look best at the resolution that matches the number of physical pixels they have.Originally Posted by Torment And Agony
- do you really need to run at that resolution?
And they look bad (IMO) at any other resolution.
Not that it really matters. The teeny tiny channel chicklets are riduculously small at any and every resolution. I make binds to chat on different channels and just set the default channel to Team (3rd from the left).
Welcome indeed! There are reasons I, and others, have been here over 6 years, glad to see you've found some of them.Quote:Originally Posted by Torment And Agony

Quote:I was really biting my tongue to avoid derailing this guy's thread.Originally Posted by Remaugen
Yes please, fix this! Badge equality demands it.
For that matter, fix the whole two Ouro's thing. Why have a redside/blueside when all the same contacts are present in both? Really annoying for Rogues playing with Hero teams not being able to use Ouro to travel with them. Or for that matter, for Rogues not being able to team with Heroes on the incarnate arc. Consolidate Ouroboros!
But you are correct, this is the solution.
Ouroboros and Spandex, one size fits all!
Oh, wait. Spandex has a weight limit... -
On the surface it's a great idea. I might finally get that Mandarin hat that wasn't in the Imperial Dynasty pack (grr!) You know, the one I've been asking for for over 5 years now!
The devs would either have to release tools or clearly state what format the want parts in, and give serious guidelines to wanna be submitters, such as file format (Rhino, Maya, what?) how big/small items would have to be for Male, Female, Huge body types, etc, etc.
Then there is the nightmare of clipping........
I think we can safely say no user submitted capes or possibly auras. -
Quote:Nah, the power selection stays the same.Originally Posted by Dr_MechanoEU
The only problem this may present is if they're simply modded versions of existing powersets BUT also completely seperate powersets you'd end up with a whole host of Powersets listed which are essentially the same thing.
So you'd get:
Thugs.
Thugs: PPD
Thugs: Longbow
Thugs: Council.
Thugs: 5th Column.
etc.
All appearing in the powerset selection menu, would be quite cluttered.
The skins appear under Power Customization. -
Quote:Yeah, yeah, yeah, standard code rant.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
The step before all this? Get a computer science degree, then learn what the code looks like.
Then make up an easy way to do something.
The point is that the art is already done. -
ATOs (or as they are properly called, ASEs) are rare drops if I am not mistaken.

Signed, in triplicate.
Although KoA should be Ninja.
And I'm sure some other basic skinning could be done. -
Quote:Which begs the Engineer's Question;Originally Posted by Rebel_Scum
I doubt it's a matter of them not paying attention. More likely it's a matter of them not having spare resources on hand to make it happen immediately.
If you don't have the time and/or money to do it right the first time*, when WILL you have the time and/or money to do it right?
*"...the first time" meaning during beta when we griped about it since the devs didn't think of it themselves prior to then. -
I definitely like the idea. I would like to see an arc you get to run for them, one mish every so many levels. And at the completion of each mission you another piece of faction specific costume.
I have themed characters for PPD, Vanguard*, KoA, Malta, Tsoo, and several others. I would love to have the story arc and the costume parts for those groups rather than just trying to get by with what's in the costume creator.
*Yes, I have the costume parts for the Vanguard already. I list them for completeness. -
Hey Trickshooter, have you PM'd a link to this thread to Positron or someone?
As fast as they're cranking out powersets these days this just might happen. It's pretty well balanced, so half the work is done for them already. -
Quote:They can lose that sorting. If I don't have a character on a server (i.e. it's not a Preferred server for me and at the top of the list) then I don't care if it's offline or on.Originally Posted by _Klaw_
It would probably be difficult to handle the server activity/offline displays.
Changing the layout of the window so we don't have to scroll would be nice. -

Combined Orouboros would also fix that...
And Signed in Triplicate for a combined Orouboros. -
Ok, I know there has to be more than 3 people who want this.
-
I feel certain this has been suggested before, but I'm running on 90 minutes of sleep in the past 20 hours and not searching right now.
All I want is for the servers I want to see (Freedom, Justice, Virtue, and maybe Exalted) to be at the top of the list. I'm sure other people have servers they'd like at the top of their list. Can we get some way to flag a server as "Preferred" so it stays at the top of the list?
Thanks! -
Quote:This is a good solution. It should be part of a Melee Damage set. :POriginally Posted by Greyhame
Why not solve the KB problem with an IO? I've always admired the way the Theft of Essence proc neatly solved the painfully high END costs of Dark Regen without actually changing the power or breaking anything else. Add a new IO set to the game, maybe travel (10-50) so anyone can stick it in Sprint. Have one of the enhancements in the set be a Global that reduces KB to KD in all powers the character uses.
Of course, now it occurs to most that F2P players won't have IOs... damnit. Maybe Null the Gull is the better way to do this. -
Quote:The problem is if you have recipes that have overlapping salvage needs. If you need 3 Alchemical Silver for Recipe A, and 2 for Recipe B, if you look at Recipe A and see that you have 3, then look at 5 other recipes before getting to Recipe B, you'll look at Recipe B and say "Oh I have 3 Alchemical Silver, no need to buy any".Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
You can already do the bolded, pretty sure since the market existed.
1. Put the recipe on the market.
2. Hit Find.
3. When it comes up in the window above, notice the words" Find all salvage for this recipe" (paraphrasing) directly under the bids listing.
4. Click it, it's a link. All the salvage you need for the recipe you put in the stored area in step 1 will appear. -
Quote:Good grief man! My post was RIGHT above yours. I said, and I quote; "Min level for Atlas Medallion is now 14 since you have to go to Ouroboros to get to the Echo of Galaxy City for Pupil."Originally Posted by Ragnar_Lodbrok
Ok fast question, now that there is no more Galaxy city, how am I supposed to get the badges from there for the accolade?
"Explore Galaxy City Atlas, Conspiracy, Freedom - Vidiot Map
Pupil - Atlas - (-730, 0, -1340) 40 feet NE of Equinox dot. Plaque is on a pedestal opposite the arena.
Bird Watcher - Conspiracy - (2nd story ledge -1100, 50, -2260) 87yds SE of Orion Beltway dot on 2nd story ledge
Brawler - Freedom - (-1180, 65, -935) Top of Mighty Mart 475yds NW of Perez exit"
Is there a way around this or do just only get a part of the accolade now? or should we just not bother with it? -
Seriously. Kill-alls aren't fun for me. I avoid them. I do not want to play them.
To get into a mission and run through the entire thing except for 2 huge spawns in dead ends, only to find that the boss I'm supposed to fight hasn't spawned ANYWHERE, is irritating. I'm not stealthing the mission to skip everything except the boss, I go ahead and fight my way through exploring as I go.
But the mother grabbing boss doesn't spawn until everything else is dead.
If a mission is a kill all, freaking TELL me it's a Kill All. That's all I'm asking. Is that too hard to do? Because "Defeat <boss_name> and guards" is a blatant misrepresentation. -
Nice guide, thank you very much.
The quickest way to get Silver Bullet and Slayer is to run Moonfire. The first mission is all Warwolves, the 2nd is all Vampirii.
Update for i21
Min level for Atlas Medallion is now 14 since you have to go to Ouroboros to get to the Echo of Galaxy City for Pupil. -
Quote:Let the players categorize them.Originally Posted by Justice Blues
I would think most (No not all, some people seem to be driven to be jerks.) farmers were like the idea. The biggest complaint most folks have is the farms drowning out the real story arcs. If the farms are in their own section, that complaint would be taken care of and the farmers have the chance to find the best farming arcs, without accidentally getting some stupid story arc. IOW, their own self interest would push them toward using the system correctly.
The problem of course is first, getting the programming/graphics time for the changes to the UI. Then the decision about what to do with the current arcs. Wipe out all except for the Dev's Choice or try sorting them into categories as it. The first has the advantage of being easy, but there would be some cost of loss of arcs where the author has left the game. Probably not many, since older arcs are likely to have become broken over time, but still some. The second would avoid that, but at the cost of a horrendous workload trying to go through all of the arcs and determining what goes where. Actually, I doubt it would even be possible. Even doing a search on Farm would result in inaccuracies, with some farms not having that in the title or description and some story arcs using it.
After playing the arc the player picks if it's Canon, Farm, Origin Story, etc, etc, etc. A minimum of X votes (X=10 in my mind, but leave it open) is required to categorize an arc.
Have a Broken button as well that if 3X players hit it unpublishes the arc. Each time it's hit the character/player gets an email/global tell so they can be notified to fix their arc.
AE is about player created content, let the players manage it.
