I don't know... a big blue ball would be much better

Heresy! Burn him! The Big Red Ball shall not be spoken of in this manner!

[/ QUOTE ]

Be still and wait. When the Big Red Ball appears, it shall come down and smite all doubters and nay-sayers while gifting all true believers with its bouncy presence. So it says in the Big Red Book of the Big Red Ball.

When the big red ball comes down I shall be waiting with my big shiny pin.

Death to the BRB

While Jack seems to be under the belief that Tanks should have to team, as should Scrappers, Defenders, Khelds, and every other archetype, Posi feels that you should be able to solo or team. Your choice. I like Matt's belief system better.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just for interest: there is an article over at that other web site where Jack admits that forced teaming was a mistake. I think the leadership change has caused a similar shift in direction for both teams.

<ul type="square">[*] Trial Accounts may not level past 13[/list]
[/ QUOTE ]

Why 13? Don't you want trail users to experience Flight, Super speed etc? Thats one of the best reasons to play the game!

Powers that could only affect players on the ground will now affect all players above them as well as standing on them. This is to fix a PVP exploit making ground based powers ineffective. Powers fixed: Tar Patch, Bonfire, Ice Patch, Ice slick, Quicksand, Caltrops, and Volcanic Gasses.

[/ QUOTE ]

I know this is from the previous patch but I have only just noticed the effects of this in game. From a PvE position this is really a bit ridiculous. Fighting the Knives of Artimis (sp?) I was hovering some 18 feet in the air and still taking damage from Caltrops thrown on the floor below me.

All-in-all whatever the PvP reason this is a bit silly

[ QUOTE ]
Anyone notice that mobs seem to run away... ALOT. Been playing my crab since I12 launch and it seems like just about everything runs and its quite annoying.
EDIT--- This happened when I was fighting scrapyarder as well... Basically he ran instantly.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't mind mobs running too much as long as it is realistic. I remember fighting Heracles once and he would have bet me but he suddenly decided to run away! Girl!


More annoying is when hostage guards decide to run, so you've killed all the mobs in the area but the hostage is still on their knees because a CoT Spectral whatsit has decided to visit some obscue area of the map! Grrr!

on Storage:<ul type="square">[*]Lack of a way to pool Invention Salvage and Recipe resources among a SG. Thouse should have SG Storage items.[/list]
[/ QUOTE ]

I cannot describe how strongly I feel about this particular issue. As a Super Group leader I go as far as saying the lack of Invention storage is an affront to super groups. Quite frankly we are MORE important than the market in retaining players.

It is foolish in the extreme for you (the devs) to lock SGs out of the invention system since helping our members with the supply of enhancements was (prior to Inventions) the main area a SG could provide benefit. Now we are reduced to a social club and transit house.

This needs to be addressed. I cannot say that more forcefully. Your stance on the market IS damaging SGs.

I find the lack of a map to the Midnight Squads club to be annoying. Please give some indication as to which zone you are about to enter when leaving.

I'm not sure why the zone hasn't been given a map, I see no benefit in its lack. Since part of the task is exploration it would be nice to be able to slowly uncover the map.

All in all, a pretty small complaint

As far as level requirement i think if it wouldn't be to hard. that mobs in this type of mission should be much like GM and the Rikti invasion spawns. this would allow all members to gain xp despite lv differences in the group.

[/ QUOTE ]
does anyone else fear that auto-leveling to the content would be a potential for massive powerleveling? You could take a 50, PL a pair of level 1's, and not have to find mentors for both of them. And yes, they gain XP at 50, not 49, but on only a 3-man team instead of divided by 4, or even divided by 5 if they were planning to sit AFK at the door with their mentors.

and now expand "powerleveling" to include the question of if you give extra SG Rewards for such a mission. You'd get a setup where it's easy to pad the mission for that added reward without regard for levels or "presence".

just a thought.

[/ QUOTE ]

If everyone is the same level it will not be as good for PLing as the normal "bridge" set up. In fact it would be identical to SKing. The only difference would be that in theory one character could SK 7. No a big deal IMO.

Mind you if the PLers did start doing this and we no longer got all those bridging and mentor farm requests I for one would not be upset

Is it time to rescrub the list?

[/ QUOTE ]

You tell us! We have produced so many lists in recent times, a little hint of possible Dev effort and we will be there.

If that sounds a little snarky its because I have taken part in every collective effort this particular forum has initiated and managed a few myself. I would really hate to see another with no result at the end.

Small point but the base raid telepad should only be required for raiding bases.

[/ QUOTE ]

why? because it has the word "Raid" in it? what if it was instead called the Advanced Telepad? what if part of the suggestion was to rename it to aid in the roleplay?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because its a big clunky ugly thing with costs (size being the biggest cost factor) balanced for PvP not PvE.

[/ QUOTE ]
lol, very bad reasons. Especially if it was to be renamed and balanced for PvE like we are suggesting...

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't care about the name but as its stands its a rather "big" thing to have to have in your base to enable you to use the Mission Generator which already takes some effort to get. Especially when it seems entirely unnecessary.

[/ QUOTE ]

Who Necro'd the thread? Only a year ago and I don't remember saying any of that

I would like to a SG missions that work so that everyone is exemped/sked to the same level. That would actually help SG members team when they don't have the right numbers of mentors etc.

Beyond that I'd like to see the odd story arc. I also think these missions should be a little harder (these people are suppose to work together) and maybe give slightly more prestige.

Thing I am most interested in is the branching dialog tech.

It would be great if some missions (particularly villain side) allowed you to make some choices and see it effect the mission completion and contact dialog

Oh, we know what it means, we just don't want to have to explain "Decapitating Sword" within the context of "My Little Pony"

Speak for yourself :evil:

Cool, that works for me now

A preemptive strike! I approve!

Sounds good so far.

Hey RedTomax,

What browser do you use? I use IE6 and Firefox but the navigator on your site (the bit that looks like windows folders) doesn't work for me.

My son called his Mastermind character "Jack Rascal" which made me laugh till it hurt!

As a parent I can relate to all that. Although I don't let my son team up because you lot are untrustworthy

This game CAN tell the difference between someone thats logged off and someone thats QUIT the tf.

Therefore a better solution to softloading is to set spawn size to team size including logged off.

If someone quits the TF spawn sizes should adjust because they are not coming back.

Suggestion:

Since this is being done because of an exploit could we not change the spawn sizes so that it can tell the difference between people that are logged off and people that have quit?
