But yeah no need to hide all the info if nothing else atleast it gives us something to talk about so we don't fight about random other things..

[/ QUOTE ]

Because people would complain (from i9, for example)

"But we did all that hard work to earn more storage space for invention salvage, and now it's useless!"

That would of happened after they changed the original settings to what they are now that disallow SG salvage storage to accept invention storage.

Similar things would/could/probably would happen.

Last time I transferred a character in WoW it was $25.

Admittedly, this was months ago, so I checked again. Yep, still $25.

That's still more than twice what it is here, but nowhere near $75.

[/ QUOTE ]


If you notice, he then goes and says "Or was that EQ or EQ2?".

For a full transfer, items and all, when I played EQ it was about 70 USD.

So yes, you do advocate an atmosphere of suspicion and paranoia directed at one's fellow posters, because you do think one should have to go through any possible quotes with aforementioned fine-toothed comb.

Thank you for confirming that sad fact.

[/ QUOTE ]

The quote feature is just a tool to make responses more clear and concise - it is still as if you have written it. Just like when you quote someone in real life.

[/ QUOTE ]
Nope.

In real life, if I alter what I purport to be quoting, I am in fact guilty of misquoting the person involved. Furthermore, I have had people go absolutely ballistic on me for simple quoting as I have been here - in pieces and chunks. What do you think will happen if I start inserting [omitted] or [censored] in place of questionable terms, words, or even whole phrases?

Flames, is what.

[/ QUOTE ]

That is their problem, then. Just because they broke the rules is no reason for you to.

And as long as you are not doing that style of quoting for multiple people in one post, I have no issues with it. Again, their problem.

I agree. Heck, 18 years of room and board isn't enough either, and I am still stuck with it. :P

[ QUOTE ]
The question that arises is how much detail one has to give in a negative response before it becomes "constructive feedback." "No" is now considered "unconstructive." How about "I'm afraid I don't agree with that idea, for reasons that I can't quite put into words right now?" How about "/unsigned, for the reasons given above?" How about "/unsigned, for the reasons given above, particularly X, Y, and Z?"

[/ QUOTE ] I would call the first example nebulous, but 10 time better than /no. The other two would be solid.

[ QUOTE ]

So yes, Virginia, any edit meets the criteria.

[/ QUOTE ]

For being tracked? You bet. The moderators, even if they don't post, hold an EXTREME amount of influence on how people see these boards, which is City of's main public face of it's community - anyone can view it. It is where the companies and us, the gamers, have the most interaction.

Every edit, deletion, etc, is tracked. To whom, by whom. It is another way of also protecting the edited, etc. I once had a post edited because it was a little too political-critical, and got reported. The moderator didn't leave "edited by ModeratorX", no the mod changed what I said. I reported the moderator via PM to Lighthouse, also with a complaint about consistency as a couple of posts that had been reported before I even posted still had their personal attacks against fellow posters in there. They know exactly who did it, and talked to the person who edited my post.

The problem is, you seem to be unaware that they have always tracked edits. All they are doing is adding a bell to draw attention to people who regularly require edits. And, IIRC, they keep notes on what was edited, so they know what kind of stuff is going on.

I presume that there is no auto-banning. Too much can go wrong - and they do give notices if you are nearing the line. I don't think they have ever perma-banned someone without prior temp bans either (short of being spammers/porn linkers, etc, if any have ever visited here).

We are a huge community here, and it's not one that is very very self moderating. I have mod status on a very self-modding board, and there is something like four of us there, and 11k registered names have posted there since a little after 2000. And numerous are 1 time posters, or people who have changed their names. We would of gone under/quit if we had the community here, I think.

On the other hand, I have PM'd Ex asking how this kind of edit looks on the record. And if you have this kind of thing happen regularly enough to be put on the watch list, then you do need to pay more attention to what you quote, "paranoia" if you will.

[ QUOTE ]
Nah, only 270 words. And six sentences. ^_^

I'm planning to tweak it a bit, though. Maybe aim for 300 words.

EDIT: made it to 376 words before reaching, I think, the "stretch limit" for the format selected.

[/ QUOTE ]Link please? Sounds good.

[ QUOTE ]
I have one question...seeing as how the new VERY RARE IO sets allow you to keep the bonuses when your exemped/malfactored down, does this mean a fix to the others keeping the set bonuses too? Cuz really, Id like to keep those set bonuses.

[/ QUOTE ]

It wouldn't be a fix, it would be a change. Losing set bonuses was a choice by the devs.

So... if we can only create a door to the Ouroboros Citadel after we've been exposed to time travel, and we can only time travel by going to the Ouroboros Citadel, how do we get exposed to time travel in the first place?

[/ QUOTE ]

And thus, the Ouroboros Citidel being named after the tail-eating snake!

As for the original entrance, I vote for a mission with a girl, a mystical ancestral pendant made from a Rare Red Rock, and a teleport demo gone wrong.

Don't use the right hand one, it will end badly for you.

I believe Battle Axe and War Mace would be interesting candidates for power sets to be ported over to the Brute AT for a wider audience to enjoy this new feature.

[/ QUOTE ]



We tankers will give you Battle Axe and War Mace if you brutes give us Electric Melee and Energy Aura.

[/ QUOTE ]

We Brutes will be more than happy to give those powersets. Now we will gladly take delivery of our full powered (not watered down) /Regen.

[/ QUOTE ]

So Brutes are happy to give Tankers their cool toys, if they get a Scrappers cool toy? Sounds a bit unfair. :P

However that said, I've never seen why Brutes couldn't get /Regen. If they think it's to powerful in the hand of an AT with more HP...then adjust the percentage rate of heal to make it match scrappers at current rate. Seems fair to me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Holy Cow, a reasonable response. Would love to see the powers shared equally. The previous response just said tanks because it was in response to a tank. I live on the villain side, but definately think the hero melee toons should get the same power options. It is the one and only thing that heros can actually say that villains have had it better.

[/ QUOTE ]

What's funny is Tanks get Energy Melee, but not the accompanying Armor... It's a no-brainer that they should Energy Aura.

[/ QUOTE ]

It fits with Invulnerability.

If those glimpses from the alternate Paragon Times were meant to represent the Flashback system, does that mean we'll finally get to flashback to our Outbreaks and Breakouts? Will villains who missed it the first time at last be able to get Jailbird? Will heroes no longer have to stalk RV for Isolator? (Please say yes on both counts...)

[/ QUOTE ]

They have said badge and story arc missions only - so no.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldn't say not so fast. It all depends how you define "badge mission." Does that mean only a mission that awards a badge upon completion? Or what about Mayhem/Safeguard missions where there is an exploration badge. One of the tutorials has an exploration badge.

We'll see...

[/ QUOTE ]

But the tutorials are ZONES. Not missions.

Plus, I do think Posi said no today to revisiting the tutorials, but then he did bring up the newspapers. So they might have new missions that let you get it, but who knows.

But the tutorials are zones, not missions.

[ QUOTE ]
I don't like the idea that renaming or transfering a character to another server should cost cash.
I think that there should be other penalties used to do these things such as charging a chunk of Influence or charging character levels if they can't pay or something like that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Part of the reason it costs cash, is so people don't go overboard with it.

Also, because it costs money, and either only the people who use it pay, or we all pay (and get less updates).

[ QUOTE ]
If so, that means we may also be taking on missions from the alt-timeline Paragon Times as well. I mean, they wouldn't talk about "Recluse and Manticore searching for something in South America" if it wasn't gonna tie into the game, somehow.


[/ QUOTE ] With Positron's view on the latter, I doubt they will be the same contaminated.

And in an alternate timeline Paragon, who says anyone noteworthy ever stayed in that cell? And so far all mission maps have been without the badge.

[ QUOTE ]
I have a couple questions about the Flashback system, if a kindly dev would deign to respond. Can it be used multiple times on the same contact? Like, if I really enjoy beating the crap out of Mynx and tearing off her skin just as a pasttime, can I do Crimson Revenant over and over?

And secondly, can a 50 flashback to a 45-50 contact? Could my scrapper run through Maria Jenkins again, and maybe even again and again? How about the Patron arcs?

[/ QUOTE ]

Sounds like you can do it over and over - the settings you can change (says Positron) include time, no inspirations, no temp, self-nerf, etc.

[ QUOTE ]
FIX STALKERS ALREADY!

We will fix stalkers when their owners start bringing them to the vets.

Baseball Bat could've been a great set. Just look at the possible attacks;
Foul Ball: You bash your enemy in the groin with your bat. This attack has a high probability of leaving your opponent stunned.
Home Run: Your perfectly-delivered hit smashes your enemy for extreme damage and sends him hurtling through the air!

Just imagine an elite level 50 Hellion Devils baseball team coming out to beat you down like a level 1 n00b!

The poll wasn't the only deciding factor for doing Dual Blades as the next powerset.

[/ QUOTE ]

Translated: We wanted to do Dual Blades. They'll grow on you. Get used to the idea, because it's happening.

Seriously though, will there be another poll anytime soon? If so, might I suggest a poll to determine what sets make it onto the poll?

[/ QUOTE ]

Only if they poll out the choices for that poll first.

Which would require a poll to decided what goes on that poll too.

[ QUOTE ]
MUO might even wind up being nothing more than Issue 20 or some such thing,

[/ QUOTE ]

No.

Because NCSoft would have to share CoX, then, with Microsoft. And it isn't.

Microsoft:Marvel Universe Online::NCSoft:City of Heroes.

I seriously doubt you would even see beta invites just for being a CoX subscriber - because that part of the database rests with NCSoft.

I guess we should be grateful that any sort of villain EAT is in the works, but still BotBS just sounds so cool. Do we know anything more about them other than that they are Egyptian shape shifters?

Assassins, at least one of them. The City of CCG winner's card's bio was slightly altered to fit in a bit about the BotBS trying to kill a pharaoh.

Here, I'll make it easy.

"The city council and mayoral elections of 1936 swept a platform of pro-hero candidates that resulted in the passage of the Citizen Crime Fighting Act of 1937. This law made it legal for vigilantes to bring criminals to justice as long as they followed the same restrictions police officers use."

[/ QUOTE ]

So, shoot to kill, not to maim.

Except, with the excellent healing about now days, you could get away with maiming, now, I think

[/ QUOTE ]

I can't wait for the civil trial.

Skull: I was standing on the corner, minding my own business when Sword Guy snuck up behind me and chopped my feet off!

Head juror: We the people find the defendant, "Sword Guy", guilty of malicious wounding, super hero brutality, assault with intent to maim and order him to pay restitution to the sum of 1.25 Billion dollars.

[/ QUOTE ]

Aha! But if the feet are restored, all he could get would be repayment of the medical expenses, which with some of the healers going around Paragon now days, would be nil or nearly so, since there is no loss of quality of life (other than getting thrown in jail, but that doesn't win civil trials without proof of being framed :P)

When you see people get wounded by cops, etc, and get awarded large sums of money, it is usually for medical and (the big one) lose of quality of life.
