  1. The Sleeping Star may be the sort of thing you're looking for.

    Story Description: A young girl’s friend has gone missing, and she’d like you to help search for her.

    Story Arc ID: 53951

    Yes, one of my characters is in it, but I tried not to make the self-insert too annoying and so far all my reviewers agree, it's far from being a mary-sue. Hope you like it.
  2. Currently looking forward to the new Posi TFs the most. After that come untra Mode, animated tails, and the new dark mirror enemies.
  3. I've said it before, I'll say it again - IMO when it comes to adding real value to a EU account, there is not a single improvement the devs could make that would be better than an EU/US server list merge.

    If Defiant and Union had to come offline for a week to get it done, I would support it.
  4. You ask the devs to merge the server lists, because unfortunately without paying for the whole game again you're not getting to the US servers.
  5. One thing about video cards I'm never very sure about...

    Is there going to be any notable difference between different brands of the same card, or are they all just following the same specification with different box art?

    In other words, is there any real difference between a Sapphire 5770, a XFX 5770, a HIS 5770, or a PowerColor 5770? If so, which are the brands to avoid and which ones are good?
  6. "The Bestest Radio Mission Ever" - one (fairly large) comedic mission.

  7. Yeah, still can't access it with that link either. FTP's just not responding.
  8. Not been on as much as I'd like lately, but Merry Christmas regardless.
  9. Your ftp server doesn't seem to be working.

    C:\(snip)\Wouldn't_It_Be_Great_If.m4a could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

    Try again later, or contact the server administrator.

    Address Not Found

    ftp.ncsoft.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again.

    The browser could not find the host server for the provided address.
  10. I want to hear the podcasts on this page but the site's ftp server seems to be down.
  11. OK, lets have a shot.

    Name: Through Rose-Tinted Glasses
    Arc#: 101681
    Morality: Villain
    Level: 40-54
    Enemies: Arachnoids, Arachnos, Longbow
    Description: Elspeth Wallace is a senile old lady. Elspeth Wallace knows many secrets. Elspeth Wallace thinks you’re Manticore… wait, what? This could be weird… but profitable.
  12. IMO a server list merge is the single most important improvement the devs could make for EU players, and the sooner the better.

    Lets finish the job begun with the forum merge!
  13. Beautiful, just beautiful.

    Count me in as someone who would love to see Tin Mage rebuilt.
  14. Hey, I said not to let it stop you...
  15. It's possible, and currently commercially available in the real world for LANs. But I get the feeling it would be very easy to attach scrambling devices to the power grid and cut it off. But don't let that stop you.

    Interesting. They're keeping the markets seperate and tying you in to the market you started with no matter what side you go to. But will Heroes and Rogues be able to trade face to face? I hope so, we need to be able to pass them insps...

    Complete graphic upgrade.
    Ultra-graphics mode: toggle for better graphics.
    No war walls in Pra. (it's Pra now. Save mah thumbs!) realistic shadows that change with time of day.
    Reflectivd water. Water looks... So beautiful. .. Water reflection distorts shadow.
    Interesting. I'd love to hear more about this, whether it just covers Praetoria or if it applies to the whole game.

This is a very frustrating bug that I wish the developers would actually correct. Why is this important? Well, I use the souvenirs to help jog my memory when posting the "review stories" for this thread. Fortunately, I thought to start taking better notes about two weeks ago, so as to improve the reviews I post here (I hope), but the next three arcs that are up for a review were from before I was taking more detailed notes.
    If you've lost the souvenier for A Sleeping Star, I can PM it to you if it helps.
  19. I suppose my strongest arc would be...

    The Sleeping Star
    by @Leese
    arcID 53951
    A young girl's friend has gone missing, and she'd like you to help search for her.
    (with one of the AVs, you have an ally. The other is optional. Kheldians may have trouble in the first mission, (bring purples?) but will be fine after that)
  20. I have no idea. If I had to guess, it would be that they're leaving some servers up during the normal maintenance times so that the Oceanics aren't constantly locked out during their prime time.

    But that's just a guess. Vague much, Niviene? :P
  21. Any time you have full fury, used a large red insp, been boosted with fulcrum shift and used KO Blow, Rage WILL have crashed a millisecond before.
  22. God, this is going to be a LONG two weeks until the reveals at Hero-con.
  23. I'll take this opportunity and request something, though I'll leave it to you to pick which one. Either...

    "The Sleeping Star" (53951, 40-45 heroic)
    or
    "Through Rose-Tinted Glasses" (101681, 40-50 villainous)

    Point taken.
  25. Wow, it's really impressive to see all these new hires coming out of the woodwork. It's good to see the AE has some dedicated staff devoted to it. As an author I'm looking forward to it improving even more.

    One nitpick, trying not to sound like I'm complaining, but I hope you're not using the AE contest entries as your sole source of potential devs choice. Europeans can't enter that, and we* already have an enormous chip on our shoulder about feeling ignored.


    *OK, maybe just me.
