SingStar

WB FFM, looking forward to not agreeing with you, or GOD FORBID, actually agreeing with you again!

I think Blue Rabbit summed up my feelings as well...
Thanks a lot for all the time and effort you put in.

I think this is a prime example of how you don't miss or appreciate something until you loose it.

In case you missed it:

Good news for "our" game I suppose:

We wanted our fans to hear this from us first... We’re changing our Champions Online launch date from July 14th to September 1st of this year.

Personally? Couldn't care less!

Probably more of an update like the one we got for CoV, some new shiny stuff, a little polish on the textures, the black Grandville textures fixed etc. We've already seen more and more glass surfaces (AE building for one), so guessing more stuff like that.

Would be cool if we, inside missions, got to see out. I mean, most offices do have windows, but f'coz they're usually logical in design as well. NC should really try to hire some ace map designers. Would increase the "feeling" a lot.

Stuck at work! Sucks bigtime! Not gonna make it this evening!
Hope to see most of you next week, and hopefully some new additions!?

No, It MUST be the Mac edition!

Have you added anything like the Mac edition to your account recently, that did bump my vet reward time by a week when I added it to my account, from the 26th of Feb to the 3rd of March, however it has gone back to awarding on the 26th again once that vet reward passed.

I knew it, the Mac is evil!

Well, hope to see you all again tomorrow at least!

...and for the rest of defiant villains: We could still use a few more people. Fun play, fast levelling without farming.

Goes for MMs etc too...
Guess we'll have to wait and see... again...

...and hope this speeds up the process of giving us a proper, modern forum. Oh GOOOD I'm getting tired of this youknowwhat!

Avatea won't mention anything (again) about the new forum unless it's absolutely 100% certain it absolutely will happen!

...trust me!

Had rediculous problems with "unvalid form" before, seems to have gone away, but still...

...I think this is the ONE thing we can all agree on, this forum belongs in the pre-stone age, it's ancient, it's history, it's mu mu land!

...also merging red/blue would probably be good. I can't stand the blue colours, so I stick to the red version, but that means any "internal" links sends me packing to blue side and a re-log or some fancy(?) editing of the URL.

Well, redside is sort of harder because there's not much to "farm", not many teams/players, not as easy to get merits to exchange for recipes->more inf etc.

That said, I think redsides deal with foes much faster unless you go with silly/fun teams like fire/rad trollers. A bunch of mixed corrs at 40+ will nuke through most mobs in no time. I mean they're blasters with kin/rad/heal/etc secondaries!

...but I do agree with previous poster, setting some sort of goal, or clear reason and some clear framework (e.g. not farming, only soloing, only teaming, powerset etc) for doing it would improve my interest.

It's rather obvious that stalkers have a harder time until they're high level and/or proven. They're either fillers or simply not invited.

MM's loved in moderation. Max 1-2/team.

...the list goes on!

After much consideration we chose not to play today.
Gonna be off myself on monday, so cya in a week!

Also considering a few people actually expected I15 at the 5th anniversary, although that was unrealistic since I14 was just launched, it just put people in the perfect mood to... well...

....stone Positron!

go do it... It's fun!

As I was on a break from Paragon at the time what did he say that was so terrible at his 5th anniversery address?

[/ QUOTE ]

Basically nothing, which was the problem!
We expected Obama-style 'Yes We Can can cans'

Life of Brian FTW!
I force my pupils to watch that one... every year!

Ok, so many people are angry at the moment I think we need a way to release that frustration in a... positive way.

So I made what must be the simples 'mission' I think i could, for the purpose of helping you people, and for the purpose of creating an opportunity for an event. View this as a comic mission, a joke! (And if you're offended: Sorry, I understand why you could be, but I think it's *important* to be able to joke about pretty much anything)

What I suggest you all do is get your SS tanker/brute/whatever, get a kin to join if you want. Enter the mission, find Posi, form a circle around him and start 'HURL'ing stones at him.

To get you started if you're missing the point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyjw8j1RKD4

Mission ID: 157883
Name: The stoning of Positron

Have fun, and don't take it too serious!

Best! Comic! Ever!

Now, I'm not a role player, but if I where, I'd probably go insane about how the story's gone belly up totally.

I personally definitively thing MA play should be rewarded to get people to actually use it, problem is that will always leave people looking for the next so-called exploit and from an RP stance it makes very little sense. "Who's paying for the rewards, how can I get loot in a virtual world" etc.

You can get around parts of it by claiming LR and the government/longbow/whoever's paying because they consider it "training" and important, or by saying inf really isn't a currency, but actual "influence" over people, and "infamy" scaring people, so they "give" you what you ask for/demand.

...but let's face it, it's not like noone before paragon studios had the idea of something MA'ish is it. It's just that other MMO studios descided it was not doable for several important reasons, of which we've obviously seen a few. The good thing is, if they actually end up getting it right, this might open doors in future MMOs that might be really, really interesting.

Just imagine if you brought some MA'ish into a new MMO from the beginning (of the coding/conceptualization, all that happens 2 years before the game is launched, not necessarily leaving it "on" from the launch). Oh, that's a bit OT, soz!

Also, not TPing to PD until you're lvl 5 is a good idea...
Once level 5 you really should go to PO and get the first mayhem asap anyway.

This is not a thread for discussion farming, or even discussing at all, it's a one-post-thread. Now All threads get derailed after a time, but if you want to argue you case it heaps of silly, reiterating posts, start your own thread about farming:

In this game, what do you consider to be your definition of an "exploit"?
Post three things: Your definition, an example of how it would apply in-game and an example of how it would NOT apply.

Something to get you people started again:
* Confusing a sky raider shield generator = exploit? Well, how about maximising damres and defence with more than one buffer (ff etc) that keep melee alts away while blasters/corrs/doms etc take'em out? or the old, obsolete trick of keeping 4+ accounts in standby in pvp base to buff you and tp you out of harms way?
* We all use stamina/hasten (well, most, on most alts), but how about regular teams using more than 3 kins/rads to keep speed and stamina insane without it? Using what's there, or exploit that should be nerfed? Imagine level 50 ice kin corrs nuking every mob... (yeah, it's really fun in reality as well)
* Shivans/vengeance in a so-called hard TF/SF?
* Ghosting missions and almost whole arcs gaining huge merit rewards in a short time (like some hero TFs or treespecs last mission)? Being smart and/or exploiting?

We all agree anything that makes you one-shot hamidon or solo him in any way is just wrong. I think we also all agree any good team getting good rewards for playing whatever mission/arc/tf/sf/trial outside of MA is just doing a good job with what's there...

...but where's that alluring thin line according to you?

Let's try one more time. Feel free to go back in this thread to see how some people gladly derail a good intent:

I have 2 examples instead of 3, on page 2 or 3 or 4.

Oh, I guess some people CAN'T start a new thread!

Again:

Post three things: Your definition, an example of how it would apply in-game and an example of how it would NOT apply.

Back to OP again then:

Post three things: Your definition, an example of how it would apply in-game and an example of how it would NOT apply.

Anyone care to give it a try? The rest can start another thread, you know how to do that, don't you?
