    For my part, I've been logging on my old toons on all the servers to get the 5th anniversary badge, and noticing how many of them with the short-short skirts have the borked skirt option... O___o how... pleasant! Those holes in the 'sides' of the skirts are now in the front and back! >_>

    As for you, if you seriously think i'm going to read a long [censored] post which I am betting is just a long insult, you are very wrong...spark notes version?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yep, just one more post proving that you are the problem and not anyone else.

    Keep digging yourself deeper. You'll hit China soon enough.

    You want a downside? Ok, Here ya go.

    Because there are badges and rewards you get while running missions in test mode before publishing them, and an unkillable mode would allow them to exploit and farm them with no risk involved.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That's their fault for putting badges in a test mode, sorry to say.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No, adding a god mode without heavy restrictions would be their fault. If there is little or no risk involved then you should not get any reward be it badges or tickets.

    ... so have kills not count when in that mode. *shrug*

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That would be a fair compromise. No badges or rewards can be eraned while in the unkillable mode.

    Might not be wanting to discuss this, but felt it good for the community to know.
    I recently petitioned a group of people. I was in peregrine island on Freedom and ran into three people that kind of caught my eye. I'd seen these types of groups before, but blew it off, all the people running [Hotfeet] and with strange names. Then one started TPing in other people, all or most of which also had just pointless names. And now there were 8 people, all with weird names, most with hotfeet and no vet badges

    So this time I petitioned them because they tried to trade with me, and I was in a mood =D The GMs responded with the normal generic response, but then a few days later replied with news that my report helped with banning over 150 RMT accounts. Booyah!
    So I may get in trouble, but just wanted to share!
    Take the time to petition those foo's when ya see em, add their globals and make it a thourough report =)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    If this actually happened then grats on it. But it doesn't sound right because the GM's don't tell us what actions get taken on a petition.

    But again let me reiterate if it did happen, Thank you, we are grateful to hear that those RMT accounts got nuked.

    Does anyone actually have any idea how badges will work? I seriously DONT want to lose my 500+ heroside badges, but I would love to be able to get the hero and villian badges....

    [/ QUOTE ]

    If you check the badge listings at places like Vidiotmaps, you will see that the vast majority of badges have a Display Name, and a "V." Display Name - what you see depends on if you are a hero or villain.

    See Redeemed and Villain badges.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Good point. If there's a corresponding badge for the other faction the name may simply change to the other factions when the switch occurs.
  8. [ QUOTE ]
    I want my badges and Supergroup to function like my enhancements and trays on multiple builds - When I switch to a villain, I lose all my hero badges and stop being a member of the Supergroup. When I switch back to hero, I lose my villain badges and Villain group, but get my hero badges and supergroup back.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That's assuming you get to switch multiple times. I would like to be able to do that, but I'm not getting my hopes up about anything. I'll just be disappointed if it's not in GR.

    Hmmmm, the food basket idea is getting old then, eh? New course of action is needed...perhaps something they need and doesn't expire quickly...

    So it isn't just me? The same people which you referred to as "forumistas" are following me around agreeing with one another regardless of how idiotic it is? Hmmm.

    Yes. In fact, the entire Forum Cartel has made it their goal to drive you from the game by contradicting everything you say on the forums. And also cutting your brake lines.

    Hey that reminds me, I can't make the Forumites meeting this Thursday. If I could get a copy of the agenda Friday morning, I'd appreciate it.

    Has anyone else noticed that every time it's TonyV's turn to bring the food and beverages to the Forumites meeting he calls in with an excuse for not showing up?

    I hope ya'll are doing the smart thing and depositing these gifts from people you don't actually know directly into a dumpster. I don't doubt that they are actually well meant gifts from well meaning fans, but caution should be advised concerning anything consumable, especially since you've been making a show of them on a public forum. Yeah I know, I'm a wet blanket, but it's best to err on the side of caution.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I'm sure this is a legititmate concern, but so far all these gifts have been packed and shipped by 3rd party vendors. (not by the individuals who sent them)

    If Harry and David started sending out poison fruit, I think that would pretty much end their business.

    If something came from an individual, well... that's what you hire interns for.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Maybe Clobber thinks the gifts were bought from PoisonousgiftbasketsRUs.com. ROFLMBO!

    I don't know what trick the OP used but I recently used a painting to make wall where you can see in but they can't see out.

    I would assume they would make it so that if you switch sides you lose contact with your former villainous/heroic brethren.

    This insures that heroes and villains would still not be able to trade (moving items through use of salvage and enhancement racks) and would make it as easy as possible to track what is what and who is who.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I think the same thing will apply to the market.

    Praetoria or whatever it's called is in a different dimension, so players may have to return to Paragon earth to use the market. That would mean heros couldn't use the redside market until they actually switched sides, and vice versa.

    A hero/villain may even lose any items he has stored in slots at the CH when he switches sides because the markets are seperate.

    My biggest gripe with this game is not being able to team. I already gave up on being asked to join a team, but I can send out 20 tells '20-24 mission team in Talos, interested?' and only get one tell back. Make my own team? How then, when no one wants to respond? How then, when someone dies they quit without a word? How then, when someone sees there aren't enough people on the team they say 'It's ok, I'll just solo for awhile'? How then, when someone only plays for one mission?

    I think it's snobbery. 'I don't do pugs' they say, with their noses up turned. They play with their select few in their own secret circle.

    [ QUOTE ]
    So freaking what - my god, the OP doesn't want to try hard enough to get a team. It's easily done. I don't need to cite a [censored] source for something that any given player can *see* in the game. .

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You're experience is not everyones, whether you're exaggerating or not. Keep defending by lashing out, it gives you more credit.

    It seems before the x2 xp weekend teams were dime a dozen. I was even exemping on pugs, just because. During the weekend I saw a slight increase in teams, but after wards it was a desolate waste land. 'They wore themselves out over the weekend' was the excuse.

    Ever since then it seems to be slow. And now with the MA? It seems farms or nothing.

    I don't pay to play alone. Oh, that's right, we need to try harder.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Have you thought about joining an SG? You can check the Server forums to find one on your server of choice and look around for one you like, then team with your SGmates. Problem solved.

    That's the cause of your problem in a nutshell.

    I am seriously considering moving to another server, but I enjoy pvp a lot...What server do you use?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I honestly have characters on every server, and I bounce between 3-4 servers whenever I'm on.

    All kidding aside, I'm sorry that you seem to have problems finding teams. My experience has been just the opposite. It doesn't matter if I'm on Virtue, Freedom, Protector, Pinnacle, Guardian, Triumph, whatever . . . I usually get several invites a session, even when I'm playing at odd hours.

    As for PvP my friends usually have to coerce me into it. It's never really been my cup of tea.

    If you are going to try another server, Make a test character on whichever servers you choose to check out first. Don't pay for any transfers until you decide that you like your new home.

    Each server has a distinct personality.

    Post a request in the individual server forums that you want to check it out. You'll probably get some friendly SG's to show you around and you'll have a new group of friends to start with rather than starting from scratch not knowing anyone.

    I think what Niviene is saying here is that they would prefer cash in small non-sequential denominations.

    and none of that european monopoly money.

    especialy when your test character is lvl 2 and the difficulty is hard

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Then simply lower the difficulty, or test it with a higher level character. Why you could even do both.
  22. Yeah I agree with the others. Sorry OP but I have to unsign this. There really is no need for a godmode while testing an arc.

    what would be the rewards for doing these side games?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This could be a big problem. If the games gave rewards the system could be exploited. This is supposed to be a hero/villain game not Bob Barkers Farming for Dollars.

    no reason i cant play pool are use the slots in PD and St.M while i am waiting on people .. Waiting on people is boring .. would fix that... Not like this is a hard thing to do.. Mini games would be nothing to ad

    [/ QUOTE ]

    And there's no reason why you can't have a second program running and you toggle between both games while you are waiting.

    You can even set this game to window mode so you can do both simultaneously.

    The end result is you get to amuse yourself while waiting, and the devs get to focus on more important issues. Everybody wins.
