  1. Expect? No, that's too much.

    Hope for and ask? No problem there. Go to one of the more populated MA buildings, like Atlas, and put out a polite request in broadcast. There's people around willing to help out. There's people sometimes that that's all they're doing. It's a pretty helpful community.
  2. Hmm...maybe color the maps different colors to indicate where each type is?

    Also let's keep in mind that it may be coming out in the middle because the map itself says you can't place that particular event in the back. Many people simply aren't looking at the map specs to see what can and cannot be placed where.
  3. And if you unpublished and redid it, he wouldn't give you 5 stars again? Dump that chump!

    Green dot on map

    I found a green dot in the BreakOut map, but it actually led somewhere.
  5. **bookmarks for my upcoming MA only toon**

    Thanks all! Great thread idea!
  6. You can ask people along to help you test in test mode (just make a team like normal). Hard to find help sometimes but worth asking around.
  7. Somewhere between B & C. I don't NEED a thank you, but if anything I've said is unclear, I'd like to discuss it with the person, rather than them just blowing me off or cursing me out.

    Or...pretty much what Spackle just said.

    You really only see this villainside, but Dr. Aeon is fond of doing this, as are many of the signature heroes. Let us choose for an enemy to teleport rather than collapse upon defeat, or at 25% health.

    Anti-Matter also teleports out the first time you meet him, in the Praetorian arcs.

    The Widow in the first Faultline arc, as well.

    And, yeah, I've asked for this, too.

    Custom AV's

    I haven't tested it, but DB by itself IS kind of weak if you don't do the combos. I'm wondering if the AI is set up for combos.
  10. Eh, I try not to pay attention to the kelp farmers.
  11. You can pull out individual members of existing groups and put them in a custom group on the villain groups page.

    This is ridiculous. They just need to eliminate the filters from the MA.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I disagree (mostly because that's NEVER going to happen). They need to fix the list they've got, and have it only apply to names, not common text words. No need to throw babies out with bathwater, as it were.

    Devs, thanks a ton for MA.

    My son turned 7 today, and absolutely loves COH. Evey friday night he looks forward to running a mission or two with me and my friends.

    Well, I made a birthday themed mission for him. (Arc ID 22273)

    The mission is nothing Fancy, just the ability to make custom characters for the whole "Super Family" to represent the whole family (as allies to be rescued) is great. He gets to run the mission tonight, and I think it will be the most memorable birthday gift he gets this year.

    Nice, Rev! Cheers to creativity!
  14. That's a good map. Especially if you've written an atmospheric spooky story. It does get used a lot, but if it fits, put it in!
  15. There is no "AT type" in the MA. You just choose powers from a list. They do have them GROUPED by AT, but that's only so you can find the powers you want. There's no difference in the power depending on what AT group you pick it from. Pick Inv from the Brute section, it still gives Tank Inv.
  16. It seems to be doing that all over. I'm hoping it's some kind of proximity bug.

    Yes. My Project: Perilous arc (see sig) includes Perilous Paula, a spinoff character from my old comic from... 2006 I think was when it stopped. (Also, see sig)

    Two things came out of this:
    Now I have a particular "voice" for the character that came out of the comic, and I tried to use that to flesh her out as a "sidekick" support role for the player. This means that, yes, she gets humorously snarky. On the fourth map, I kept losing her and I actually got annoyed! Below is the conversation with a friend who teams with the "live" Perilous Paula a lot:

    Me: Whoa, Perilous is SNARKY!
    Teammate: Yes. Yes she is.
    Me: She's getting on my NERVES!
    Teammate: You think? It's your fault, I don't know why you're complaining to ME about it!

    But the really insulting thing...?

    On the last mission, even though she's set to Hard/Standard and doesn't have the full powers range as my character...

    ... she used her powers better than I did.

    I got a comment on my arc about my insane bad-joke-telling clown that the commenter's teammate kept yelling "KILL HIM! MAKE IT STOP!"

    Much like people do when I play him.

    Publishing Issue

    Heh, you're welcome, but I'm not a star, just someone who ran into the same thing in the open beta and had someone else tell me the same thing. PAY IT FORWARD.

    Pull down the size. From what I hear, despite how it looks, the percentage isn't exactly precise. Could be something else, but I'd try that first. Also if you have EBs and AVs you want to just put in anywhere, take them out of their group and put them in their own as a singlet. Any time you put a group in there it loads everyone in the group. That means if you've got a cool AV with a group, it's also being loaded every time, whether they make an appearance in that mish or not.

    This game gives some great opportunities to be original but whenever a costume "set" is released, suddenly everyone is wearing that costume set from head to toe and all the heroes in the city look the same despite the mind boggling possibilities. in. the. trillions.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I actually like that. Makes my far less generic costumes stand out more.
  22. [ QUOTE ]
    Well it's not just that. The Devs long ago said that they would never release items like this for free that we initially had to pay for.

    Never believe anyone who says "never".

    Having a "Would you like your fortune told?" pop-up with "yes or no" would be better. That way you can only take the risk voluntarily.

    I'm sure that's how they've done it. Look at the wording:

    Sounds good to me, then. /e thumbsup
  24. Well, what can ya do? It's a creative player base, even to creating and abusing exploits. Frankly, I wouldn't go do his arcs if he paid me if that's the way he's going to do it, but....PT Barnum WAS right.

    Got 2 5-star ratings, 1 4-star rating. Some feedback tells included "I played your arc, very fun ; I rated it 5 stars. If you want, come try my arc [ArcNameAndID]"

    The kicker ? The map is an outdoor mission full of arachnoids, without any text. Definitely 5-star worthy.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, there are a couple of people doing this strictly for the advertisement of their own arcs. Pretty sure they never go further than just inside.
