1. Save Your Private Messages!

To help minimize the amount of data that has to transfer over to the new forums (and decrease the amount of time the boards will need to be down during the migration), we will only be moving over the last two years worth of Private Messages. We advise all forum members to go through their PMs and copy/paste the ones they wish to save into a .doc or .txt file, or whatever other medium is preferred. Even though we will transfer over 2 years worth of PMs, we would like to suggest that everyone clean out their Message Box in general to the best of their ability and keep the number of PMs remaining to a minimum. It can only help with the migration!

Please could we have a 'Dummie's guide to..' re: this and pm re-intergration on the new forums. You know, for those less tech-minded.

We've all gone to teh Americans? *Badoomtish

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have made the EU forum what it was, for 4 years of witty repartee (and the not so witty one too, at times) and express how much I will miss you guys. Well, some of you... Everything will soon™ be drowned in a much larger sea where only those with very high post counts are heard.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't worry BlueRabbit, I'll be forcing my awful puns on our American cousins too, as well as taking great delight in confuzzling them with Forum Roleplay.

The amount of great characters we have on the EU forums I believe it is them that should phear our terrible coming.

XP Buff? - I thought Marriage was universally acknowledged to be an XP drain *Badoomtish* - Maybe it could be worked out to function like an XP Levelling pact albeit with the 'Ball and Chain' badge.

And whats wrong with Catgirl cross-breeding? - you don't want any of that Fascist Pedigree nonsense ReichsCat preached. *snaps out of City of Kittenz mindset*

Yes, it's all well and good, but half of the problem with this game is content. It's all very well having Blue Fire Armour and yellow electrical melee but doing the same things over and over gets old real quick. Content>Customisation.

Hopefully it JUST won't be this, there'll be missions, TF's etc as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree, I'm just delighted as this was a feature that was known to be hard to Imp-lement, and the Devs should be congratulated on it.

But you are correct Miss Chief, maybe we should have a eye-candy to new content balance struck where that is the focus on alternative Issues. Still, hard to say what NCsofts plans are for new content delivery if we are gradually shifting towards a tendancy for paid for an expansion/new content model.

ROFL! - I laughed at Olantern's comment on the US Posi-post you linked to Dr;

Issue 16 will feature a new enemy group, the Imps, a new powerset, Imp Mastery (including such powers as Summon Imp, Summon Bigger Imp, and Summon Imp Again), a new currency (Imp-Bucks) and Imp-Buck purchaseable Impgrades, and new Imp-themed zone, Impatia, which will contain a taskforce given out by the leader of all Imps, Imp-perious!

[/ QUOTE ]

Nice!, looking forward to the customisation teased in Issue 16, in fact.... you could say I'm rather Imp-atient to see the full Issue notes.

[ QUOTE ]
From Positron:

[ QUOTE ]
So there has been some speculation on the boards about the content of Issue 16, and its relationship to the Going Rogue expansion. Due to some poor link naming in the initial Going Rogue email, many of you are under the mistaken impression that Issue 16 will be Going Rogue.

I am here to set the record straight. Issue 16 is NOT Going Rogue.

But I can give you guys a hint at what Issue 16 WILL be all about:

More info on Issue 16 will be coming in July!

Oooh !!! - So they finally worked out a way of doing it huh - Impressive!, thats one brownie point clawed back from CO!.
Nice job Devs!.

Issue 16: Pimp my Imp™
...alternatively, everyone who mistyped and said it was Issue 16: Going Rouge were nearer the truth.

If you have a substantial amount of free time to spend online doing just that.

That brings back memories...my brother had Joust and I was crazy about that game. I wouldn't leave his Commodore 64 until I'd finally fallen asleep.

Well, personally, for me...

If I'm on ML then I consider it In-Character. I'm not bound by my ((talking out of character)) - (with the brackets) or worrying whether its a topic that is relevant or not.
I'll reply on all channels In-character as if its ML sitting at a keyboard playing the character herself. That probably sounds a little odd - but I've found it easiest to (in this case) create a recognisable character and be available to help all level ranges from 1-50.

Roleplay is a skill that is much more about the social setting and weaving a narrative in-groups. There are rules, there is ettiquette, and there are somethings that (although not banned) are certainly frowned upon.

I've leave it to the seasoned Rp'ers among us to clarify further. I have RP'ed in the past, but It really is hard work!- rewarding!, great to watch and take part in!, but its a skill that I'm not sure I could of kept up consistently for my 4885 hours of duty.
'In-character' or 'Roleplay-lite' as I like to think of it, has been (as I said) easier for me to maintain an Image or brand of a character and (hopefully) still be approachable enough for total newbies straight off the boat to Paragon.


EDIT: I'll also add that Roleplayers are not un-approachable, most are more than willing to include you and show you the ropes of Roleplaying, although a good place to start would be familiarising yourself with the basics on the EU/US forums under the relevant forum section. There are (or were the last time I looked) some good guides there for beginners.

I think a lot of players do without realising it (even those that knock RP/IC), Its somewhat inevitable if you really get into the spirit of things with your character, Although I think we need to clarify the subtle difference between Roleplaying and just being 'In-Character'.

Who in their right mind have paid well over 600 million influence for them?!

[/ QUOTE ]

Certainly not. Not only because thats a ridiculous amount of Influence, but more that the state of Post-I13 PvP is in such flux that there is no guarantee that the desired effect you are after will not be nerfed a couple of months later.

Yes, My main Empathy/Psi Defender.

Never expected it to be that way to be honest. The first toon I made back in March 2005 was MA/SR Scrapper and the third an Earth/Storm Troller. It just happened that my 2nd character got the most welcoming response from the community and also was in demand for teams the most and so inadvertantly became my badgewhore.

Funny how virtual life works out huh!

You can confirm the names of your winning team/weight division? - happy to do a version Max.

Hail to the Birthday Boy! (no pun intended) - have a great day Xemulas!.

If anyone has missed and wants the official X4 artwork for inclusion on a Mug or T-Shirt in either the Standard or Championship versions - please feel free to contact me at mothers_love@hotmail.co.uk

NPC voices aside, The Soundtrack to the game does need updating. Anyone who has played the CO Beta knows what I am talking about.

Its about giving character to a location, a real distinct local flavour, and epic soaring themes that add to the ambiance of 'being a Hero and doing Heroic things'.
See the Massively.com article three posts up to see why that matters and just how much it can lift/compensate a game.

Nice article from Massively that compliments the Original post.

The Importance of good Audio in an MMO.

Whips are so horribly inefficient dear, consider a riding crop.

On a sidenote; you really have no idea of the Pandoras Box of forum fanboism you've just inadvertantly opened do you.

failed again after 4.5 hours of work (not ounting the EoE farms)

we will need a sign up page for the next raid but i still believe that we can do this. also it can be better if we start this a bit earlier next time as we see this takes longer than we predicted.

thanks all for hard work and of course big thanks to sgt as he tried too hard to keep us on top of the thing all night long.

cya all next time

[/ QUOTE ]


Sorry to hear about the Hamidon failure. Still, look on the brightside - at least you stayed connected long enough to take part! - Hopefully next time for me!.

And see you in a couple of weeks Sgt. .o/

I too recommend 'Storm', Its not only conceptually complementing but one of the most spectacular powersets GFX-wise.
Its an AOE control monster (laughable on interior maps) and has only two powers that not overly wonderful in my opinion. Earth/Storm/Earth Mastery FTW i say, I love my one.

No, ponies, most likely.

Well, if Nemesis can have horses...

We totally need horses in game - I'm sure they could find an excuse for them

Probably a Ponygirl MasterMind-powerset, with (the long requested) whips and a chariot for a travel power.



In all seriousness, Re: the OP, I'll go for colours/emote animation customisation, Pets customisation and textures thrown into the Costume Creator.
