Quote:No, but big models (really big, as in Rularuu the Ravager or the giant Council mekman) causes some trouble with the targeting system.Originally Posted by Silverado
Big models also cause increased server lag iirc -
I would say no. It would probably be hard enough to make the newly spawned critter share your name. Giving it even one of your abilities would probably be harder, and making the AI use that power correctly harder still.

Quote:What does that have to do with anything?Originally Posted by CrossFusion
you must think 100 is a big number (can you count to it?)
And I've never heard people on Freedom complaining. You might be listening to the AE babies whining that they can't be AE-PLed any more, but Freedom is far from empty.Quote:Originally Posted by CrossFusion
And most people do think the servers are down i cant log on without people talking about how dead it is and thats in AP on Freedom on friday night.
How about we deal with facts, hm? Instead of baseless speculation?
1) From launch to today, the net population of the entire game worldwide has dropped approximately 50,000
2) There are 15 servers
3) 50,000 across 15 servers is 3,333 people per server (I realize the distribution is not even, but it's an average, not a direct sampling)
4) There are approximately 130,000 active subscriptions to the game today
5) 130,000 across 15 servers is 8,666 people per server (again, average, not direct sampling)
Conclusion: The number of remaining players on <your server of choice> is more than 2.5 times the number of people that have left.
Corollary: There are people on Freedom. There are teams on Freedom. You can't find teams on Freedom. The only connection between all the teams you can't find is you. -

and the game actually takes control of your toon
If the game is taking control of the player (not a good idea, no matter how you look at it), then the AI is not sophisticated enough to use your powers, much less your powers added to some generic vampire/zombie/werewolf powers. If you remain in control of your zombified/vampirized/were-ized character, then it becomes open-world PvP, which most players in this game abhor.Quote:Originally Posted by Static_Bang
The big thing here is that not only do you keep your powers
Edit: I think an acceptable alternative would be, when a vampire/werewolf/zombie kills a player character, spawn a new vampire/werewolf/zombie NPC named something like "Zombie {Character Name}" which only has zombie/vampire/werewolf powers. Maybe even a badge for killing your zombified/varmpirized/were-ized self

Quote:This has nothing to do with server populations. This is all about half debt inside missions, mission-end bonus rewards, and arc-end bonus rewards.Originally Posted by CrossFusion
patrol teams are dead
As for the suggestion, not only "no", but "hell no". Consider:
1. Most people don't think the servers are empty
2. Some people prefer lower population servers
3. Name collisions during server merge
4. Server merging is a white flag to the MMO community indicating imminent death of the entire game
5. The only commonality between all the teams you can't get on is you
I'm sure I'm missing some, and Bill will come along with his copypasta, or else someone else will quote him. But...
Short answer:
No

There was a movement on the old EU boards to rename Speed Boost to crack. I think it was due to the effect of those who didn't get it.

- Nemesis does not approve of anyone calling his warhorses "cute little steampunk ponies"
- Even if the warhorse's AI has ben corrupted (*cough*) to act like one
- Calling a Bane Spider a "mindless drone" is not funny
- Calling a Carnival Strongman a "mindless drone" kinda is
- Training immgrant to Grandville to speak Farsi before they reach the the Arbiter checkpoint does not consititue "a fun joke"
- Especially since Arbiter Daos speaks Farsi
- Jokes with punchlines involving Ghost Widow and the word "dead" or its derivatives and related adjectives/nouns are not permitted within Grandville
- Or in Ghost Widow's Tower
- Or anywhere that an Arbiter might hear you
- Council MekMen are not "my plastic pal who's fun to be with"
- Insinuating what Valkyrie does with her spear while off-duty, while humorous, is not conductive to defeating her

Quote:Considering Hero Corps is "Heroes for Hire", I think they'd be perfectly suited for the task if CoH ever implements something akin to Guild Wars' "Henchmen".Originally Posted by Battlerock_X
It's easy to see how Hero Corps gets left passing out difficulty levels and the occasional mission (Atlas Park) and the store (Steel Canyon). Maybe this can be resolved in subsequent updates?

Quote:While there's no cap that I know of on the total of each salvage tab (other than Invention salvage), there is a cap on the size of each stack. I think for halloween salvage the cap is 999 (so you could hold 999 Hamidon Costumes, 999 Back Alley Brawler Gloves, etc.)Originally Posted by Ironblade
I have one character with over 600 event salvage (Halloween items and Candy Canes) and thousands of special (Vanguard merits and rewards merits).

Quote:Of course. We already know Praetoria isn't an evil version of our dimension, it's an opposite version of our dimension. See: The Carnival of Light, a group of carnie-themed heroes who resist the rule of Tyrant.Originally Posted by Morac_Ex_Machina
From what I've seen in the GR trailer, the Preatoria Paragon is definitely taking a different tone than just "evil Paragon"

The sad thing is the only copy of Kuroneko Kukan I can find on the web that isn't a torrent is on the Russian version of Youtube, and it cuts off right before "Nomi ga iru"
