    Um, bill? That mission, like the last one from solaris, is autoset to x8 already. so upping your x count doesnt do a thing.
  2. I dont. as various news as come out I've become convinced that there were people high up in the nc korea structure who did not like City at all. when the 2nd quarter numbers came in they were able to use that as leverage to execute their nemisis plot to remove the game from the portf0lio.

    At one point, I thought of boycoting them. Then I realised it was pointless because I have 0 interest in fantasy MMO. Why threaten a boycott of a product I have no interest in? no Paragon, no reason to give them my money. End of story.

    which proves just how much of it was ALL A NEMISIS PLOT!!!
  4. The march thing I can see. The dressing up as Statesman? not so much.

    Unfortunately, they've removed the download for the game (from my understanding) and I know someone with a VIP account who hadn't played for a few months who can't log in because it won't update.

    Naturally, I have not read through the entire thread, yet, so I apologize if this is repetitious or has already been disproven.
    I think I recall that post too Angel. turns out his build was old enough he had to ask it to repair it and that got it figuring out "oh, I'm so old I really should just grab the new install files" since he was missing more than a few patches between the version on his disk and the Most current on the updater

    It could be someone sending us coded messages, but it's far more likely to be old messages that just happen to fit well with the situation gamers find themselves in today. Or it could be sleep deprivation amongst the regulars.

    I'm in no position to attest either way.
    Nope. During the Unity rally back on the 8th if you listened you could hear all the really old stuff. Like going on about saving faultline. THIS sounds like the same people who are responsible for certain GM spawns in unsual places finding a new way to use their toys. Lua is probobly able to alllow a Dev to poke an npc to suddenly say something new, but if these were old messges (and remember, NC isn't allowing anything that would have required a new code build) we'd have seen them before now.

    As you've said. We're heroes. this is what we do! and your right, I think I totally missed the winkie smilie at the end of his post the first time around.
  8. ... Dream Doc. Who's lines include "You do have feet, dont you?" and that whole Tekklu incident in the middle of his arc in DA?

    Not exactly what I'd call examples of careful methodious planning. Okay mostly he'd been planning in relation to The Comming storm and Mot caught him off guard, but STILL. He flat out says "I'm improvising here" several times during the times you work with him directly.
  9. *eyebrow twitches at Redname*

    Do wish Matt could have finished this. though right now he's too buzy either negotiating or making sure the little millerlings are supported down the road.

    There are some other factors to conisder there Vulpish. First, this happened early thursday AM. Most people who get paid weekly get paid tomorrow.

    and that doesnt count the varients that are "Once a month" (who usually get theirs on the close order of the first) and twice a month (1 and 15) etc

    It's unplayable.
    was it going on about "downloading x of Y" at the time Atl? because when I do have that problem its usually beacuse cryptic though "oh, we'll just inline the downloads if someone comes across new stufz" without thinking about it too much. Once I got 90% of the files updated I stopped having that problem.

    Or perhaps while Ermeeth was the one who taught them magic, Prometheus was the one who got them started on science and technology. Would also explain why he granted his flames to Positron, other than Posi = Mike M = trying to gain points with the big guy.
  14. The game: City of Mecha
    • The concept: players are sent out on missions in giant robots to accomplish various tasks, sometimes sent out withot their robots
    • What we keep:most everything, just maybe not in the way your used to
    • What we lose: some costume customization. B
    • What we add: BIG. HONKING. ROBOTS.
    • Why it would be like City of Heroes: We're saving the world from the dreaded forces of _______
    • The Downside: You have to team if you want to form Voltron!
    • Why I would play this: Big. Honking. Robots.

    okay, okay. maybe the market isn't as wide as I'd like. But I did have to get it off my chest and out of my brain.

    No, the posts wern't invisible... I just couldnt 'see' them vs the rest of the signal in this thread. Sometimes I cant see the trees for the forest.

    .Obj files are stricly geometry. .mat files contain the actual material data including things like color, texture images, and UV mapping

    Also, there is a very large blender support forum at
    Blender Artists Community
    Who can help answer a lot of these questions. I'm there, same handle as here.

    ETA:
    I'm not seeing the key posts about how you all have a chieved this so far. Could someone point me at them?>
  17. when its done, would be my guess. there is a LOT of info thats been requested. Takes time, even if Posi can mostly cut paste to keep from having his fingers ground down to nubbinz

    That would be the Solidify Modifier, Arcanaville

    No, don't. this is a perfect example of how its not the conept, its the excution that matters. Even with the similarites its how you write it that would make it completely different from Ralph.

    Hell, just the basic concept of 'jumping MMo's to excape the evil deletion by server shutdown' makes it different enough from Ralph. Wreck it is basicly more the "there is no place like home" storyline from the trailers.

    But you know they didnt have a clue back then about the differences between ToHit and accuracy. You more than anyone had to fight with them to make them know the difference between the two.

    I am not sur if they ever had similar confussions with Mez resist vz prot or simply at some point during beta only intended those powers to offer resistance and no protection.
    Hell... I still dont understand just what the difference is between the two. well, that to hit buffs are something that you can give to others. thats IT
  21. Pffft. You know we would have anyway. "Legendary teamup. Dont care what, so totally there! now, who to bring"

    Yes folk, that IS what often happens in our SG channel.
  22. Given that I have folk who havent done posi, totally will be there.

    (goes ahead and posts some inspirational music for this)

  23. Hmm. You'd want a breadth of types, so at least one fantasy, one 'Secret world' (you know, where it turns out all those monsters we think are fictional? arnt) at least one sci fi type. I'd keep it to one of each of those 3 types; remember that the focus needs to be on your protagonist(s) and their journey, not the worlds they are in per sey.


    OOO. Just for saftey and or comedy value. Lampoon each of the worlds, using the worst of the popular misconceptions about them. All the worst things you've heard about WoW griefers, etc...
  24. *ROFL* OH MY GODS Michelle. Too darn priceless!

    Now you have me contemplating the universe sucking in awesomeness of You, Black Pebble and Leandro working together on a project
