You might have "Depth of Field" effects turned on. That distorts things in the distance. I prefer having it off.

Known issue. The Arcane version is broken looking too, as is the Pocket D beacon. The art for both beacons are in the files, the game just doesn't point to them for some reason. It'll get fixed eventually, but in the meantime it's nothing you did.

[/ QUOTE ] you could switch the files to get grandville to work (on your screen), but now it just gives pocketD the grandville icon. lol

Do you think there will be less griefing and more HoF arcs now that the HoF badge is going away?

The fun one is if you log off near a manhole cover or snake hole, you pop out of the ground on log in.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, the really fun one is logging off near one of the rubble-covered doors in Mercy.

[/ QUOTE ] I can do you both one better...

In Nerva (and Siren's Call i think), there is a Wiener Stand that has a door on it. If you log out while standing at the front counter, you will walk inside when you log back in.

But don't try to make any money selling Jumbo Wienie Fries while you are in there... The Devs didn't stock the shelves lol

(Yes, I know you can TP inside as well, but it's still a funny "log-in near a door" incident as well)

----------

There are also places on "Monkey Island" in PI that allow you to navigate under the map when you log back in because some of the buildings are slightly underground...

are 5 identical posts in the same thread really necessary?.. especially since your question has already been answered.

Nice job... you're gonna have to hit 700 first. lol

We had it happen in an AE mission 2 weeks ago

[/ QUOTE ] Same here. I just forgot to post about it.

She conned as an enemy the moment I summoned her. I was able to attack her, and she debuffed me. The funny part about it was she still sent a heal or two my way, and still helped me defeat the boss.

I've always used an underscore between powexec_name when binding teleport. I use the F button for teleport. like this:

/bind f "powexec_name teleport"

This makes the F button bring up the reticle and then all I have to do is click the destination of the Teleport.

hope that is helpful


[/ QUOTE ] That's pretty much the same thing I do, except with a different button.

(underscores don't matter, you could use po_we_xecn_am_e and still get the same results)

I think this wouldn't remove ALL the 'griefing' (using that term loosely). And an 'olympic' style voting system too would be cool.. i.e. a certain percentage of the votes fixed (5%) would be automatically discounted both good and bad. Losing a small number of votes Best and Worst. That would give you a better idea of what people 'really' think about the mission.

[/ QUOTE ]
I think a weighted system might be good, where a vote from someone that hasn't finished the first mission counts for less than a person who completes the first mission, which in turn counts for less than someone who has completed the second mission, etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is actually a good variation on an idea I've been against.

[/ QUOTE ]

My only problem with that is that if the first mission really does suck, and people leave after the first mission, and rate it as a truly bad arc, then their vote will weigh less than the creator's friends who finish it just to be nice.

[/ QUOTE ] but if the 2nd or 3rd missions are better than the first, then maybe it doesnt' deserve such a low score (overall).

Another option is the devs might not want people using it as a way to quickly travel between zones until the later half of the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's my guess. The danger of long-distance travel in high zones is part of being a baby character. Plus, Oro goes to Peregrine. Not providing easier access to PI for babies used to be a concern -- I guess MA has eclipsed that.

[/ QUOTE ] Honestly, i think it's widely overused as a travel power. They should have simply put in a small building with a portal in a couple of the zones.

[ QUOTE ]
I logged out at WW once and when I logged back in I popped out of a door behind WW.

[/ QUOTE ] that's probably the same door you come out of when you use the WW transport power.

[ QUOTE ]
We are doing a Meet and Greet on the 6th which will consist of players from all servers and one of our objectives is to try this on both Hero and Villain Side....

[/ QUOTE ] Who is "we", where is the "Meet and Greet", and what does that have to do with us forming a Freedom team on TS2?

I'm sure there will be many people in Beta trying out the TFs once it's released. Getting a team to try it out shouldn't be a problem, but that isn't the point of this thread.

<QR>

Personally, I like using the circles. For example, for my WS I just use:
/bind LSHIFT "powexecname Shadow Step"
I press the key, then click where I want to go. This prevents "undesired results" that happened to me while using the other bind.

They added a "feature" to the O-portal right after it went Live that makes it take a backseat to objects or contacts to prevent the issue you are talking about. That has nothing to do with a level restriction.

[/ QUOTE ]
The level restriction was implemented during the Beta for the reason I stated. The feature you are talking about was added later to prevent higher-level characters from being blocked off from contacts. But the level restriction was created so that the O-portal could never be a "trap" for new, unaware players.

[/ QUOTE ]
Even if it was designed specifically for new characters, a lvl restriction of 10 would probably have been just as sufficient. The question is: "Why 25?"

Also, what's to stop any of the many lvl 25+ from spamming portals on Mrs Liberty? Even if that's the excuse they gave you in Beta, it just doesn't make any sense. Even before the change I mentioned, they still wouldn't be able to click Liberty because they just got the error message for the lvl restriction instead. That didn't solve anything.

[ QUOTE ]
I completed the Marshall Brass Arc Aeon through the ages and became Entrusted with the Secret on my level 19 Mastermind. When I go to use it, I find that the O-zone is limited to Level 25.

I was just wondering whether anyone knew what the design decisions were which led to this situation. It's not a big thing, but is counter-intuitive.

Any ideas?

[/ QUOTE ]
It came from player-created tests of Griefability during i11 Beta.

When first implemented, anyone of any level could click on an O-portal and go to Ouroboros. Trying to think like the lowest common denominator, several people tried dropping O-portals on Miss Libery in Atlas Park.

So a new player pops out of Tutorial, goes to the Trainer as they have been instructed to, "clicks" on them, and is suddenly in a strange place with no clue what they are supposed to do now.

The "you must be over lv25" restriction was implemented directly to prevent things like this.

You have too much time on your hands MB.

Funny, in my head I heard MB say, "Memorial Day was on the 31st in 2004. 2004 and 1999. On a Monday. Definitely. Definitely in a Monday."

Yes, any time you log out near an "open-able" door, your character will come out of that door when you log back in. It's been this way as long as I can remember.

It happens on more patch updates than I'm comfortable with.

[/ QUOTE ] And in some cases, all it takes is scheduled maintenance...

[/ QUOTE ]

Why isn't the account flag stored as a database entry? All it should take is one lvl 50 to flag that account. It shouldn't be based on the actual character being in existence past the initial point.

[/ QUOTE ] AFAWK it is stored exactly as you describe. And you are right, it shouldn't matter if we delete a character or not. We should still be flagged as ale to create Epic ATs. But somehow since i12, it seems to unflag for reasons we (players) don't know. They said they fixed it once and it seemed to go away, but it looks like it still pops up now and again (seems many i12 bugs have been coming back lately).

[ QUOTE ]
They might MIGHT have some kind of process when Going Rogue comes out.

[/ QUOTE ] Well you kinda can now, if you find somebody on the other side that wants to trade it over as well..

(Sometimes it's easier to just transfer money and then buy what you need)

Well usually the last Monday in May is something like the 29th-31st.

Eh, Just ignore me, I've got a weird sense of time anyway

[/ QUOTE ]
Well you are kinda right.. the possible days it can be are 25-31, which makes almost half of them fall into the 29-31 range, but it's been a few years since it's been 29-31.

[ QUOTE ]
Does this bug mean if you don't currently have a 50 you need ot level a new one to make a new Widow or Soldier?

[/ QUOTE ] Indeed.

There is a slight bug that unflags your account for Epic Archetypes. Simply log onto any lvl 50 Villain to re-flag your account, then relog and create your VEAT.

Well, on a side note, the draw distance on Voids and GMs is much farther.. lol

[ QUOTE ]
it should be pointed out that the trailer available there is NOT for issue 15, it's for the new expansion whose release date has yet to be determined.

there are no videos for issue 15 yet, as issue 15 isn't even in testing yet.

[/ QUOTE ] This. The video is for the expansion that is expected to coincide with the release of i16, not i15.
