Sevenpenny

I will try to make this...bringing Sevenpenny (Kat/WP Scrap) to beat Bad pennies azz.....

I may have overlooked this/not paid attention to, however, was the paragon studios logo situated in the lower left corner with the cryptic and ncsoft logo's prior to todays patch???

i do not know if everyone is talking about logging off while in the base to get the Monitor Duty day job badge, however, you do not have to log out near the entrance, so long as you log out anywhere in your base you will pop up at the SG entrance and will have earned time towards that dayjob.

thanks Luna and Mr. E

Hey everyone...just wanted to drop a message to those that I run these tf's with, I am back at home from having surgery (which went very well) and although I would love to join this tf tonight I seriously doubt I will be up for it physically. I will be with you all in spirit.

thanks...doing the "prep" thing now.....brain is saying no..I dont wanna.....

I think all this talk that the side-switching is only going to be in Praetoria is ridiculous. If that was going to be the case then they wouldn't have said Paragon City and The Rogue Isles. They're no doubt called something different in Praetoria, plus with side-switching as the big hook of this expansion it's a little paranoid and "tinfoil hat" to assume that it's not going to take place in the prime world.

*slaps on tinfoil hat in the shape of an alien duck

per the faq this is a paid expansion. if the previous paid expansion of city of villains and things like paid costume/bonus packs (which have sold reasonably successfully to my understanding) are any indication at all then 'have/have not' based on purchasing power should not be a surprise. when cov launched it brought superbases with it that required the paid addition of cov to even access them. the set up for going rogue is based off of a long held community wish to be able to sideswitch and puts the smell of money into the air.
the idea of having something like this in praetoria does have an interesting feel to it. a not-necessarily 'neutral' zone for heroes/villains to to come to the astounding realization of 'i like the cut of your jib' or 'omg think of the children' dilemma. if the zone if different enough and has a significant amount of play value other than a simple mission stack to side switch we could very well have a very desirable zone or 2 to hang out in while searching for rick's cafe.
my major concern over this is the hanging hype of a few words and flashy trailer that may or may not translate. an example for me would be the oro issue where it really seemed to be headed towards world changing events (infected taking over talos was a theme in a inworld news release that was great, but didn't translate into the game at all, and instead we simply had to do the training mission over again) that didn't change the world.

we'll see eventually, sometime around nov i'd guess.

I dont know why the tinfoil hat in the shape of a duck made me laugh out loud....

I got the Cyborg, Valkyrie and Wedding packs. I already have Pocket D and Magic.

I did get a vet reward yesterday, and when I was looking for my team tp power I noticed I had self-destruct. Later during the same play session I noticed I had the mission teleporter, and since it was for some reason out of alignment with the rest of the powers in the window, I think it must have been given to me while I was playing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually the mission transporter (at least for me) has always been out of alignment. Yes I did purchase the Mac Edition of the game so it should be there....for whatever reason it has been out of alignment.....

So with this Rogue Expansion set, will we be able to collect both villain and hero badges?

[/ QUOTE ]

And yet, no one has answered this question yet!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. I assume that will be the main draw for people to cross sides.

[/ QUOTE ]
Haven't seen this confirmed yet.

[/ QUOTE ]

It was confirmed in the initial email:

[ QUOTE ]
For the first time, Hero characters can become Villains and vice versa, enabling Heroes to cross over to the Rogue Isles™ and Villains to experience Paragon City™.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's nonsensical to assume that characters can cross over and "experience" the other side of the game without getting badges.

[/ QUOTE ]

The question is this...what happens to the badges that were already earned??? I think it could be set up so with how they have the "groups" of badges set up for personal and SG to setup another tab (for those of us that have hero toons have a villain tab and vice versa)....the question then becomes how will accolade powers work? Will the accolade powers work only when you switch factions or will the powers still be in place?

here you go

i haz cheezburger????

[ QUOTE ]
Besides side switching, Praetoria should be a ton of new zones, not just one, if we go by the experience of our only previous expansion. In the leaked August survey (which is now looking pretty damn accurate) it also mentioned a new costume creator that will allow power color customization, and a ton of new missions that will be used when characters want to change their moral compass. May involve a new Spy class, too.

[/ QUOTE ]


Having gone back and read what was posted in that article, it appears to be (at this point) pretty much dead on. It even has a section in it that describes the mission architect! Now Going Rogue is coming....can the space battles be far behind?

The intended goal of Cimerora was for you to ask what is the intended goal of Cimerora......as such this map will be disappearing and the fine folks of Cimerora never heard from again...

omfg thats funny...I will have to create a toon to see what that looks like!

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks from me too....Assuaged many of my misconceptions.

And while I don't necessarily believe this:

Q) “Why did you guys wait until after the reactivation weekend to do this?”
A) We had a publishing blackout during the reactivation that prevented us from putting new code up onto the live servers.

I do understand that developers face certain pressure from the publisher that cannot be ignored.

My thanks will be less than nothing to you, but I proffer it again.

Honest and sobering replies to the vexing issues posed by the initial post.

Cheers

Is the account management system still down?

[/ QUOTE ]


Actually the acct mgmt is back up!

Great clarification Posi, keep up the good work!

Its funny that people are complaining about how long the initial event would last (13 hours), in my humble opinion I think people would complain that the event didnt last long enough even if it had gone for 24 hours. Heck people complained that the Halloween event only lasted a week and they didnt have time to get all the shinies.

Wow I cant believe that folks are having issues with the time thing......

its starts at 11 am which is in the morning and before noon....have folks forgotten that (not am) and that 12 AM is in fact MIDNIGHT? The event will last from (not noon), thus giving us 13 HOURS and NOT ONE HOUR! Come on folks seriously........

Though I am pleased to see that the mysterious base bug (never experienced it myself) got nipped in a timely fashion.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've never heard anyone say it has been officially acknowledged as fixed. I know the had Server Maintenance Yesturday and Today to Fix it, but not that it has in fact fixed it.

I'm still scared to Edit my Base.

[/ QUOTE ]


hows about going out and reading the patch notes for 4/20/2009? Perhaps that will clarify whether the bases have been fixed or not. =)

Cannot seem to find the skull mask that the "evil magician" is wearing....where is this mask?

The emotes should be on the costume change screen (at the bottom)...do you have more than one costume?

I have a question of my own, where is the skull mask located? The one that the "evil magician" is wearing???? I have looked and have not been able to find it. So what gives?
