  1. More Judgements would be cool.

    I'm still sad I couldn't use an orbital railcannon. Ah well.
  2. Using Chrome as well Bill. It's when I get logged out twice in a row and nearly lose large posts in the process that things start to get beyond a joke.

    Oh, and here's a wonderfully broken scenario to top of the fail-list with.
    Villain mission where you have to stop Hero-con Crimson from fleeing the map.
    He spawns in a mob with a LB Kinetics Warden. Guess who went speeding off the map at the run-speed limit..?
  3. It'll be the Vicky's.
    Them's EVIL.

  6. Simple answer was it lagged everyone and everything into unplayability, or to a level that the Devs simply weren't happy with inflicting on players and, ultimately, the idea was scrapped.

    Oh god, that reminds me of the time on the old incarnation of my main Tank, back when he was Energy Melee not Elec (the results would be the same mind) fighting Gigawatt.

    The only moves that damaged him were Air Superiority, Ghost Slaying axe and Brawl that was not a fun fight.

    Heck, I honestly wouldn't argue if they made State's Lightning Judgement attack (the large AoE one he only uses at low health) a lot more powerful and broadcast it a la Portean et al. I mean, damn, it took us a good while to get his health down to 1/4 even normally. Not like he needed godmode to be incredibly tough.

    Not to mention 'Why the hell is Faultline still off the grid, oh silly me, that would requite revisiting old stuff! Heaven forbid...'

    Nice quick QR;

    1) Give me my Global name back. The person who has it clearly isn't using it (going on forum non-existence and lack of any reply to In-game stuff)

    2) Stop whining and try harder.

    /thread
  11. Oh look, my arrogance, up-themselves and smugly superior needles all broke at the same time. Oop, there goes the sarcasm one too.

    Your helpful comments have been greatly appreciated.
  12. If they'd just remove the bloody 'run like an utter pansy' feature from Monsters and GMs, then I could fight them as is. But no, no speed debuffs work on them so they run around all over the shop ****ing pansies....

    I'm aware of that. That says nothing about recharge times for the powers. The problem wasn't Unstop (per say). The problem was that States effectively turned perma-unkillable.
  14. Both of those are alignments already. They are also horrible mish-mashes of other ideas that people have asked for a lot more, namely a Ranged/armour AT and Melee/Buff/debuff.

    And it's Rogue.

  15. How about 'Not everyone was level 50, and those that were are so SICK of the bloody Trials on there mains that haven't got around to doing it on others much yet.'

    So, no. We got him down to Unstop health trigger with about 10 minutes left. He then proceeded to sit there the entire rest of the fight not bloody budging below 1/4 health and in fact regening to about 1/2 until the mission timed out and we all failed. Woo *yay*. WONDERFUL end to what was until that point a fun mayhem.
  16. First point of order; No, this doesn't belong in suggestions. This should be common sense.

    Second. It's been how long since the unannounced logout bug has been around, and it STILL hasn't been fixed?

    Who runs the forums? What are they doing with their time, exactly?
    Seriously.
  17. States on a Peregrine Bank Mish. By the time his unstoppable crashed, he was able to fire it nearly instantly after coming out of the first once. There was only two people on our team able to do ANYTHING to him thanks to Psi damage. Take a wild guess how that one ended up ending...
  18. If they have to have an 'I win' Button, at least make it so that they can't fire the damn thing again only two seconds after it's worn off? Thanks.

    Massacre in Peregrine


    The peace of night was shattered yesterday over Peregrine Island as Arachnos forces struck without warning. A heavily armoured Arachnos dropship landed just outside Portal Corp, before it's squad of occupants proceeded to devastate the Mera Heights district. Several soldiers bearing the markings of the elite 'Krimzon Guard' regiment tore up everything in their path, despite direct intervention from PPD robotics and Kheldian forces, and the rapid response of Longbow. At least one building was torched, while shops were looted thoroughly.

    The Peregrine Bank, however, was spared. The direct intervention of Statesman himself stalled the attackers where nothing else had. Despite coming under heavy fire, the de factor leader of the Freedom Phalanx was able to stop the armed unit from leaving, causing them to have to resort to what seems to have been an emergency teleport jump.

    Statesman was unavailable for comment on the events, but Ms Liberty has stated that Longbow will step up it's actions against the criminal elements of the Etoile Isles. Despite the defeat of the invaders it was a somewhat pyrrhic victory, with casualties in the hundreds and many thousands cost in property damage.

    It was also followed by a warning; almost an hour after the attack a recorded message, most likely from Arachnos, stated simply "We'll be back. You're next."
    It seems that hopes of a respite from Arachnos hostilities are not to be.

    I say it was @TechbotALPHA at the crime scene with a lead pipe!*






    *Unless, of course, this predates weapon customization. In that case, it was just a mace.
    Wrong!

    It was @Techbot ALPHA, with a LASER CANNON AND HIS ROBOT ARMY!

    What do you expect? I'm EVIL!




    (Seriously. I want my name back. It was the right colour, too lime green, not gunge coloured...)

    It's a bit annoying to not be recognized after the 80th time walking up to the door...

    Wish it had a way to check badge status so it could tell if your a member or not.
    I like this idea. Surely to goodness the tech is in place these days to make this possible?
  22. /Signed. Been suggested before, and I like it.

    If by 'perfect' you mean 'This idea can go dig itself a deep hole and then set itself on fire so it dies alone and out of sight where it deserves to be' then yes.

    Also, NO.

    I'd rather see a @Globalname purge. Because I'm damn sure my REAL name (@Techbot ALPHA, not @TechbotALPHA) is held by a long since dead account.
