    I don’t want people to leave. The only reason I play this game is because of the community. The more people who are here, the more fun the game is for me.

    I'll agree with everything Kat has said, and not just because I'm hiding in her closet.
  2. Mature as in adult content? Plenty of those around.

    Mature as in not immature? Uh...this is Justice.

    Welcome back!

    I'm personally still stumped as to why they were called "meow".

    [/ QUOTE ]

    From what I heard, 42s were called Meows because they were as harmful as kittens for the reward they gave. The Meows were a convention to make them easier to find in MA searches.

    The 54s were named Rikti Dolls before they were banned.

    We're not supposed to discuss exploits on the forums and we don't know what's still there or not, but fine...

    If it's no longer exploitable then I would guess you can discuss it. Just don't discuss current exploits.
  6. Well, they have their riot gear on and are over pounding justice atm so The Market will probably have an easier time of it right now.
  7. Has anyone got an easy solution for disabling the Windows key in CoH?

    Nothing is more annoying when trying to use a tray power shortcut with alt and then tapping the windows key by accident.

    To add insult to injury, I decided to take a chance on the sidewinder x6 keyboard, since I read in reviews that you can macro (nice) and disable keys (yay!).

    Well, of course the alt key on the x6 is even smaller than the previous keyboard I had and I tap that @#$%% windows key more than I used to. I figure I'll get used to the new key size eventually, but I should hop into the Intellitype software to disable the windows key.

    Well to make matters even worse, the Intellitype software has a handy key disable function which works fine in everything EXCEPT CoH... In other words, I can disable the windows key universally, but as soon as I switch to CoH it functions again. Which was really hilarious since as soon as I accidentally tapped the windows key to activate it, the key was disabled so I couldn't double tap it to get rid of it. Which is great on a strike force where you're taking an alpha strike.

    So...to make a long story short...is there an easier way to disable the windows key for CoH, via the registry (free hack) or intellitype for the sidewinder x6? What am I doing wrong here?

    PS. This is a vista 64 install if that makes any difference

    My questions is about the National Missing Children's Day. Is it encouraging us to "make more" missing children or maybe wants up to be vigilant about the current missing children?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Neither. You're just supposed to trade the ones you currently have in your basement with others.

    Here's the rub.

    They better care about it because we care about it.

    If we didn't care about it, then this game would short quite a few subs.

    Specific instances of Rikti were given bonuses for being on a hard mission/spawn. These included the Ship Raid Rikti (54s, no longer available), and Sewer Trial Rikti (41-42s, no longer available).

    The bonuses granted to those mobs were way beyond reasonable for MA arcs, especially since the comm officers could be exploited.

    Question!

    To balance out the LGtf crotch shot in mish 3?
  13. It's obvious what happened at the Paragon Studios office to allow all this new nonsense to go on.

  16. Personally, I like watching people recruit for SF/TFs and then keep the star. It's nice to see other people take the lead and learn the ropes for getting a team together and successfully finishing a TF.

    Passing the star to someone more experienced is OK, but keeping it and learning new skills on leadership etc. is better, imo.

    I do. But I dunno if I count, since I don't play on Justice. (Just wandered in b/c this Thread was in "active topics.")

  19. Yeah I've already changed the title of the arc but it is such a hack to do that. There should be a mechanism that allows the author to suspend an arc without unpublishing.

    I was pointing out that making changes to MA in the patches should be done in a fully documented fashion. After all, we are also a content provider to the players now, badges and tickets are nice but the main reason why we want to publish is for other players to enjoy our work. They can't enjoy our arcs if silent changes are wonking things up.

    I still have no clue if the ally autoexemp is an intended change or not, and if that change will be reverted or if it is permanent.

    My arc got torpedoed by the 0/1-star brigade. Not once, but twice.

    It had made it up to 5-stars overall and was on page 3 of the basic listing.

    Three 0/1-star rates (it was at least a 2 as there were no tickets waiting for me), no feedback, no progress on the "Players have completed your arc <x> times" badge, and my arc dropped down to 4-stars and was put down to at LEAST page 250.

    Second time it had made it back up to page 4. Scenario repeated itself.

    The only reason these people are cowardly enough to 0/1-star something is that they know they can get away with it. They know there is absolutely nothing that the owner of the arc can do. They can't ask them to rerate, they can't ask them to actually play it, they can't ask them WHY they 0/1-starred it.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    My arcs were ganked the same way, on 2 different arcs. They were both hovering in the top 5 of page 2 when both of them mysteriously had strings of zero-star accidents. They haven't gotten out of the ghetto yet, although 1 of them subsequently got MA patched to near unplayability due to undocumented changes being pushed live.
  22. I think the filter is massively busted/under developed since they have built provisions in MA to filter out profane words but not block out when those combinations of profanity are a subset of a non profane word.

    For example you can use the word slinger but not slingers. You can use gunslinger but not gunslingers.

    You also cannot use A followed by two Ss on its own, but you CAN type assume safely. Why can't MA even be configured such that 'slingers' would not be flagged like 'assume' would?

    And if they are going to ban you for typing A$s then they might as well ban you for using such hacks such as anus, buttocks, rear orifice etc.
