On the one hand, I have sympathy because I know exactly what you're going through. Our base disappeared too.

On the other hand, my sympathy is limited because our base was one of the first to go, was restored, disappeared a second time, was restored again, disappeared a THIRD time, and was restored yesterday.

This isn't the end of the world. A missing base doesn't stop you from doing missions, playing with friends, etc. Imagine if you couldn't log in to CoH at all.

When a Mission Architect Story Arc reaches Hall of Fame status, it becomes "locked" for 7 Days. What this means is that, for the next 14 Days, the Arc remains in the Hall of Fame, regardless of how many 1- or 0-Star votes it recieves.

[/ QUOTE ]
I think this would be a good START. I think the devs should go even further and, once an arc hits HoF, it should be reviewed by them. If it's sufficient quality to also be Dev's Choice, it should be flagged (visible to all players) that it will be promoted to Dev's Choice in 30 days. (or 60, or 90, but it should go Dev's Choice at some point)

It's not just the badge. This is a system that recognizes excellence and flags it for other players but it's designed in a way that facilitates griefing jerks who want to smack the arc back down into obscurity.

There WAS one. But not any more. They need to re-label the Hall of Fame star as 'Grief Me'.

It's a chick thing.

Is that 'ha ha' funny or 'peculiar' funny?

Until Chuck Norris decides he likes that room, and roundhouse kicks Jack right out of it.

..... all this effort to make some really intricate and gorgeous magic costumes, and no sign of a simple Wizard Robe variation of the Trenchcoat? Comeon devs, people have been asking for a basic Wiz's Robe for ages!

[/ QUOTE ]

SexyJ has said that with the current engine, player robes are an impossibility, IIRC. Seems he's tried it several times, but could never get the to work.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, it basically comes down to the fact that there are certain powersets (coughmartialartscough) that make true "wizard robes" impossible to animate. Jay explained this as much in the Q&A at HeroCon.

[/ QUOTE ]

Currently, various costume choices preclude other choices (i.e. hats override hair, pants type can rule out certain boots).
How about a new filter where certain POWERSETS preclude certain COSTUME parts?

I guess I need to get cracking on the MA badges. I'm at 611 with zero MA badges yet. I was busy running around last night, fixing the permissions on storage bins.

Characters (on active accounts) who have inventories, bids or items for sale in the Black Market or in Wentworth's Consignment House will no longer have to log into the game within 60 days to avoid item or influence/infamy expiration.

[/ QUOTE ]

What is the rule for *inactive* accounts?

I ask because not too long ago I had my account go inactive for a few days because of a credit card issue.
Would I have immediately lost all my stuff if the character was longer than 60 days away? or is the rule 60 days of account inactivity now?

[/ QUOTE ]

In the absence of a definite redname statement, assume the worst. Because, unless someone thought of this and coded for it, I think the path of least resistance in the code would work as follows:
Toon A has not logged in for 70 days.
Account goes inactive.
Next maintenance, since the account is inactive, the 'clean out CH' subroutine runs and deletes anything over 60 days.

Also, as we have seen with taunt, they don't always know how everything actually works. So, even if we get a statement otherwise, I would still assume it works as I described - just to be safe.

[ QUOTE ]
Or worse yet, will lawyers be involved (isn't parody protected from copyright)?

[/ QUOTE ]
Basically, yes, but that's not relevant. This game (and forums) is a PRIVATE venue. The management can make any additional rules however restrictive they want. They can't choose to ignore copyright and trademark, but they CAN choose to have far stricter rules than copyright and trademark laws require.

Had to post; there were 777 replies and that's the number of the Slax.

Ok I just gotta ask why 777?

A mezzanine.

Further, this past summer, NC Soft announced the Going Rogue system as being something upcoming for the game.

I see you failed to quote this line:
"Keep in mind, this was just marketing research, but damn, I like the fact they're asking about these things."
and this:
"Lighthouse and Niviene have already stated this is just marketing research, so as much as I'd like to, I wouldn't suggest taking this as a list of 100% guaranteed to be in the game features."

So, quite frankly, when someone says "NCSoft has announced these things are coming.", they are mistaken or lying.

Will we see some of these things? I'm sure. Was it an announcement of what's coming? Sorry, no.

It is for me.

I remember thinking "Man the people that got back from the future when it came out had it so easy", and I had it tough having to solo 1000 pillboxes .... now a days with the pvp changes I don't feel so bad.

[/ QUOTE ]
I got it back when you could 'trade' them, and I didn't. I remember thinking, "Wow! The neutral pillboxes give so much influence or prestige when you solo them, why would anyone do this any other way?"

[ QUOTE ]
I think I figured you could get five badges simultaneously or something crazy like that...and deliberately set it up so I did.

It was Weed Whacker (+Hellfrost), Coldblooded, Demonic, Trailblazer. IIRC.

You could have gotten one more if you'd managed to set it up so that you dinged a level with that kill.

With experience I've found that pouncers don't like it when you catch them in mid pounce and just stand there. I won't do that. I'll be there to make it look like your pounce matters.

hmm..... So would falling to the ground and rolling around while screaming in agony be even better?

You know what's next right? The 700 Club!

how am I supposed to survive with only 13% of my vital organs?

It scales. They only have to support 13% of your limbs, skin and brain now.

Okay, so......I did some searching. Apparently St. Patrick wasn't Irish..... He was Welsh.

[/ QUOTE ]
And he didn't drive the snakes out of Ireland. There never WERE any snakes.

However, he is credited as being the primary force behind Ireland embracing Christianity and it was the only nation in Europe to do so without violence.

I prefer 'mercurial'. Maybe we want to come in and dispense some snark.

Maybe I've been here too long, at first I read it as your taking slax lessons.

[/ QUOTE ]
We've all been here too long. I first read it as "sex lessons".

That's because gladiator behavior was changed without notice. Previously, you could have enemies spamming AoE damage and, as long as the Wardens were set to passive, they would not attack back. Now they do. If they take damage, they attack the enemy that inflicted it.
