    AFK!

    If I go AFK I mostly try to do that in between missions and no longer then 5 minutes. Otherwise I just log.

    When someone is constantly going AFK or stays AFK for a a whole mission I'd kick the "leecher?" (if I would be the team leader...which thank god I'm not most of the time )

    If I have to go afk in a mission I'll always make sure that the rest of the team can handle it without me(theoretically of course ).
  2. Impressive...most impressive...


    (sorry...with your forum name I just couldn't resist...)

    Uh oh....

    My sympathy goes out to all involved with all the changes at Brighton. I hope you'll stay around the forums maybe playing the game or something

    I don't know the Aero, Kerensky, Rockjaw and the others well enough to judge what kind of people they are but from what I read you made quite the impression
  4. Hmmm, the idea is nice...although it kinds of breaks immersion from me. As "jumping" to another dimension which is exactly the same(bar toons) does not feel like jumping dimensions.

    I also see a lot of technical problems occuring(disconnecting as someone mentions above) and taking up lots of dev time.
  5. If I'm forced to carry a number behind my name I didn't put there on purpose...I'm gone.

    And me leaving probably wouldn't make much of a difference but I am not going to accept that just for a few more players on the server.

    I just don't see the purpose.

    Ragdoll Physics

    For that new day job thingy we are getting I want Floor inspector to be one of the jobs, just get defeated face down before you log out.

    I like the Being blasted away kind of death(face up) and although ragdoll physics could be fun it should only be done at death, not during the fight.
  7. I fail to see how your "open" forum is more open. It seems to put limits on things that don't need to be limited for people who pay to play. And of course it would be nice to people who are still trying to find out whether they want to play a game but maybe make a subforum for that or something.

    So yes people post off topic(derailing)...I know I do...always with the intention to bring a smile on someone's face(the non joker way). It's not a crime...I certainly mean no harm by it nor I doubt many others do.

    Lurkers are...if I remember correctly people who read but most of the time do not post. I doubt they are the ones who put you off the threads. Although that was already pointed out by someone.

    Most of the time I see a flame war starting the next day the topic is closed. Or I see a redname posting in it.

    Don't know about the brown nosing. Never felt the need to report a post and I do think that GR and friends are doing a good job as far as I'm concerned and I see no reason to get good friends with GR(unless he can give me player housing or faster flying powers ).

    I say no to an adult forum. There are other places to go for that kind of discussions and although I generally like the people on these forums I doubt they want to hear about my love life

    I honestly can't see how it bothers you that people spend more times on the forums then ingame, really...it's their money...if they want to spend 15 euro/pounds/dollars/etc. per month to post on a forum...by all means.

    And limiting posting to people who play at least four hours per month? What for the people who just don't have the time to do that...or worse...play 3 hours and 59 minutes and can't post because of that one minute and they have to wait a whole month again...

    All in all I think this idea only came from you because your last few posts weren't really appreciated by some other people. Which is what happens on a forum as it is a place of discussion. I'm sure that in this post I have said things you disagree with, and that GG thinks my priorities need to be sorted .

    Biographies!

    The only real link my characters have are that they are all connected to Rush Inc. The company of my main character Malcolm Rush. They are either employees or family members(from the future )

    All of my characters have a bio...although I do not always write them down. But same as some people said before...if I character doesn't have a story behind them I can't play them.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Now this raises a few interesting questions (if anyone is willing to answer them).

    Do you think about the background before you design the character? Does the character background come after you’ve picked the AT or before?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well, for most of the time I think up characters on my way to work or on the way back. Not specifically for CoX though. I write lots of stories in my spare time. If I can fit something within an AT I'll try it out to see if it indeed does fit.

    Although sometimes it's the other way around and do I want to play with a certain AT and think up the story based around that.

  16. I assume that Dark Age of Camelot and City of Heroes both run on different engines and therefore that one game can do it doesn't make it that the other game can.
  17. The only problem I have with this idea is...why on earth does Paragon City has War walls again? If every villain can just fly over it or disable it...

    But otherwise great ideas.
  18. Hmm, that looks like a possible explanation. A stupid one if it was true.

    I actually wanted to name him Arthur because of King Arthur and if anyone remembers The Journeyman games(Especially Buried in Time).

    I hope that a GM then doesn't dislike: Highlander or Stargate because otherwise I couldn't call my henchmen: Duncan, Connor, Jack or Daniel

    I'll summon: Gandalf the Gray, and Gandalf the white, the Monthy Python's and the holy grail's black knight, Benito Mussolini and The Blue Meanie and

    Lo Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger
    Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan,
    Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan

    to counter that in case he is going to crush a few heroes between his legs.

    Hey, it's not just actors on a Performing Arts course, y'know! How about all those long-suffering backstage crew who build the sets and take all the diva nonsense from all the aforementioned 'actors?'

    Ooops, guess I'm drifting off-topic here. Okay then, lemme think a sec....

    I must admit I like it when Mastermind characters get creative with their minion's names - seeing a sea of 'Zombie's, 'Punk's and 'Genin's et al can get a bit dull after a while. Especially when you consider there are no restrictions on minion names like there are with avatars.

    Name your minions with pride, I say!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well...somehow I can't name a minion Arthur. I tried multiple times but all the time the name gets reset.

    Is there something about a name like Arthur that isn't allowed?
  21. [ QUOTE ]
    Well yeah i realise there almost certainly (not 100%, who says it wont have a form of damage mitigation within it?) wont be an offensive form of it, it wont stop all of the fans creating tribute toons as such will it?

    /rantoff sorry i just dont like seeing non-unique toons! I like seeing players who put thought and effort into thinking up a concept and everything, not something that was thought up by another person 175 years ago (a plumber told me that as an estimate).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    While I agree with you on that point I don't think that having a power set that is similar to an already established character in the real world equals lots of clones or tributes.

    I can't remember ever seeing a Wolverine toon, while his "powersets" are so obviously in the game.

    I did run into some clones in my time here but of course there will always be people who don't have that creativity or are just too lazy to think up their own toons.

    And sometimes I think the costumes are quite well done too.

    And I also already have a shield character in mind, but it depends on the options what kind of shields we can choose.
  22. As you can't throw your shield(as far as I know) I don't see the Captain America Army appearing anytime soon.
  23. I'm pretty sure they are around, the Elflings have/had a sg costume(and requirements for characters(like the height and the ears, powersets were free choice if I remember correctly)) Don't know if they still exist. And I remember a long long time ago(in this galaxy) when I made my first character I was invited to an SG who only accepted people with fire powers. Can't remember if they had uniforms
  24. I'll bet that player is waiting for the release of: Mercanaries 2: Bird in Flames.
