Vigilante

• I know my own fallibility. Though many of my friends consider me morally "old fashioned", I know myself well enough that under certain circumstances, my temper would just get the best of me.
• .
• Corruption. I have no faith in the current legal/justice system. Actually, I don't have faith in any legal/justice system... there is just too much political corruption worldwide. In this sense, I agree with others who've said it would be nearly impossible to be a hero as defined in the OP.
• .
• Grudges. Yeah, I carry 'em. I'm the kind of person who tends to gnaw on a bone... at least for a little while.

I don't think I could concern myself with the troubles of the world... but I would definitely apply my talents to whatever problems might affect my close family and friends.

I brought this up during testing.
If you click on the "tell me about sidekicking" info linky, you'll see that the entire script for sidekicking needs to be re-worded to reflect the new super sidekicking rules.

Snow, you don't present your opinions as opinions, you present them as arguments and factual statements. I've told you this before.

Nobody got on your case until YOU started getting argumentative. YOU came in with an argumentative attitude.

When you present your opinions in such an argumentative and defensive manner, how else do you think people are going to react? So I took your own format, your own style, and tossed it right back atcha... and I see you didn't care much for it. That should be a clue.

As to my "agenda" for personal apartments, it is merely a counter-suggestion to YOUR "agenda" for new lounge zones... which you have repeatedly put forward in several other threads.

The way I see it, when it comes to gameplay, more OPTIONS are always a good thing.

Here's the beauty about having multiple options: you can choose not to use the ones you don't feel the need for. At the same time, other players have the choice to play the game how they like. Much like power proliferation or customization allows flexibility in creating interesting and unique characters. Isn't that nifty?

A good RP'er will use the options that appeal to them, while ignoring the ones that don't. But if someone can't get around the very existence or contemplation of other options, they are not that good of an rp'er to begin with. Using storyline or rp to justify a lack of gameplay options for other players is just not good game design.

The beauty of CoH/V is the abundance of gameplay options. It allows players to create their own stories. Without OPTIONS, this GAME would just be "City of Script".

The reason you can't find them is because Praetorians don't get SG's

sorry

This was the comment that Positron made in the Razer Q&A:

heh... happened to me too the other day ... shows ya how long it's been since I actually started up a new group.

.

I'll start with one of those obvious "doh" things.... Is the toon you're using to do the promoting at the proper rank/setting to do so?

.

For extra tricky-ness, try creating a spiral staircase with the balcony corners: use a cubicle + angled wall light... remove the cubicle & stick the balcony to the wall light for 30/45 degree angles. The real trick is getting the inside points AND the rope railings to line up nicely.

.

I heard this mentioned in one of the global channels last night.

I sense much grief to come.

.

Psi/Em is in reference to a character's powersets: Psionic/Empath would be my take on it. I think that's a controller combo...

I have to say, I lol'd a lot ... just because of his presentation. Even his down points were delivered in a humorous fashion... which tells me that he probably actually had a lot of fun with it.

I thought his reasoning for picking Dual Pistols was telling... because he thought it would be easy to figure out... I can see this thought process happening with a lot of FPS players. Unfortunately, Dual Pistols is NOTHING like FPS... at least not right off the bat. It takes a little more figurin' out than the average FPS/Pistol/Gunfu game.

The criticism about the inability to adjust screen graphics before entering the character creator is a good point.

The comment about the "standardized" instances is something to take note of. Praetoria is still new, and us long-time players have seen the other tilesets in PC & RI. So WE know there is more out there, but I can see a new recruit getting bored with the "sameness" of Praetoria.

The "run around/talk to" mishes have been a long standing player complaint. We really don't like them much.

The inconsistent AI: either they run away "to get a soda", or they stand around to pummel you when you try to rez. Can't seem to win for losin'. The run away chicken-s*** AI is, IMO, the most annoying.

I've always thought the base/mission/WW/Pckt D animation was waaaaaaaaay too long. As a continuing player, I shrugged it off, but I can see a new player thinking "wtf?".

And LOL at the attempted suicide jump.

Things he seemed to love:

• The character creator,
• the beautiful graphics,
• the enhancement system,
• the action (even at lvl 10),
• the "moral" choices.

Thing is, those things barely scratch the surface of the entire game... then again, the review was set with a limited parameter (Praetoria), so I think his comments were pretty valid within that scope.

I'm running Firefox, and occasionally, over the last week or so, I've logged in... even received the "greeting"... got to the main listing, and had to log in again... because apparently the boards were just teasing me.

Read the description, hun.... it's just the small items (costumes, emotes, etc.,.)

Hey, whatever works for you, all the power to ya.

Personally, we have 6 salvage racks arranged alphabetically; A-C, D-F, G-L, M-Q, R-S, S-V (there's a little overlap with "s"). We tried doing it broken down by common/uncommon/rare, but ended up just doing a lot of back & forth between racks as we tried to find the salvage we needed for recipes.

Since there is such a tight limit on salvage space, we have a "3 of each item" limit. If there is already 3 of something, store it in your personal salvage, sell it, use it for an enhancie, or for a temp power from the empowerment stations.

Since there is at least 3 times as much space on the enhancement tables, it's more efficient to craft & store enhancies. We have 5 tables for regular IO's sorted by level (10/15, 20/25, 30/35, 40/45, 50) and one table for the set IO's (leaders only). Occasionally I'll go through the bins and "group" the IO's, so even if they aren't exactly alphabetical, it's easier to spot what ya need. This actually works fairly well since our SG is a small group of players with severe altitis.

We also have 3 inspie bins and a vault, to bring our total storage units to 15.... just shy of the 18 units per base cap.
