Thirty-Seven

I personally have no desire to rename my SG/VG, but I think the option should be there nonetheless.

Agreed, /signed, etc.

I think this relatively simple thing would go a long way in making Atlas what it used to be... a place I actually wanted to be.

You listed Pike twice.

Aside from that... a Pole-Arm set would be sweet. Just so long as they also make 2 new powersets that are modern or futuristic in design.

I figured they just meant that it belongs only to a Kheldian.

And by "figured" I mean, "killed my internal rant by allowing."

[/ QUOTE ]
I wish that would work... then it would have to have been: "Kheldians' only." Or something... I can't even try to make it any less wrong.

Yeah, I did flip out a bit, huh? I guess I have just seen more than a few comment in the past directly after an anouncement stating all the things that the Devs haven't done, with little praise to what they did do. It just seems to me that people are just never happy, especially on these here forums. My apologies to the OP.

With regard to the above who basically said "get the heck outta my forums": I am the architect for my base(s). Indeed I do wander in here occassionally to check stuff out. This particular time it was due to this thread being in the Active Threads link, and I payed no nevermind to where it was... I most definately should have.

Also, I was a bit torqued that I couldn't participate in the Anniversary Event the way I woulda liked to... my discontentedness fell on an innocent.

I'm sure by now you've all seen Posi's Address discussing I15. He makes no mention of Base tweaks/changes at all.

I also saw the I15 Overview, and it doesn't mention Bases either.

Guess we get no loving this issue?

Anyone else heard or seen anything?

There's just no accounting for some people is there? This is the Fifth Anniversary! The Devs are manually running an event for us players during what would be their off-time and announcing the next issue... and all you can think to do is complain about one aspect of the game that rarely gets announced anyway (one that a relatively small number of folks are going to get excited about)? Wow, just wow!

Jack linked to the thread (on these very boards) up-thread.

what does it matter to you how someone else plays their game? you are not being forced into doing anything in the game. you have multiple options how to play your toons. seriously we don't need another " AE is the Devil" thread. this is the FoTM. it will die down. go play the game the way you want and stop trying to tell people how to play.

[/ QUOTE ]
It's not about controlling people's in-game behavior or ignoring behavior.

This is an MMO, everything that everyone does impacts everyone else, even if subtley. One prime example is broadcast in certain zones/servers. Some folks, not me though, like to be in character... seeing hundreds of tells/broadcasts relating to farms and such doesn't do much for immersion.

Though I do completely agree that we sooo do not need yet another thread on this matter! I would think people would be posting "lrn2search" before actually arguing.

Sometimes I'll unload a bunch of salvage for 10 influence just so I can make space to buy the stuff I need to craft, only to turn around and realize I needed some of that salvage. It'll annoy me so I'll end up paying 3-4 times what I sold it for just so I can get it right back.

[/ QUOTE ]
I had that happen a ton while I was going for the Crafting Table. I would place a bunch of bids for things and then go play some content... when I got back, I had more than I needed and sold it off... only to discover that the next recipe I was going for needed that item.

Good question, it is rather annoying.

My guess? Not until, at the earliest, May 4th. I would not expect anything much to hit, in the way of patches, until after the Anniversary.

I have never seen an Objective simply not appear at all, regardless of settings.

I would check to make sure that the enemy you are using actually exists in the group that you think it is (this is almost definately NOT the problem). Take a look at your listed mission objective when you enter the mission... is the Boss Objective listed? If it is, SCOUR your map, he may be spawning in a ridiculous place. Also, if you are using a standard enemy as a Defeat Boss, give him a giberish name to assure that you simply didn't miss him. Make sure that you know where the boss is set to appear.

What difficulty and team size are you using to test your mission(s)? That makes a pretty big difference on what ranks will spawn.

Also, using Lts. as Boss Objectives should have no impact on what spawns.

Fewer, not less.

Oh, and NO... please no! For all of the reasons above stated, no.

Kittens.

The final minion can be Basket of week-old kittens. Your enemies' hearts will melt over baste of kittens just before Flamethrower Kitten melts the rest of them.

Can one of the Kitten Upgrades involve tuna?

I vote no on removing the buildings.

An interesting note, the OP gave no reason, NOHING, and it spawned this many responses :P

People like to argue... even if it is about nothing.

I'm not sure I agree with you about the use of said rule, but I had indeed heard about it. It was given as a reason for not giving us some manner of costume piece or anthother... damned if I can remember where exactly I saw it or who said it.

One of the reasons I'm looking forward to the CoH competitor coming along (Cryptic's new MMO), is because I reckon it won't have these garbage maintenance windows smack in the middle of peak Australian playing times, or they won't take down ALL the servers at the same time.

[/ QUOTE ]
So, threatening to leave the game is going to make them change their policies?

Also:
[ QUOTE ]
I fully understand the need for a maintenance window, especially in a game environment where things change.

[/ QUOTE ]
Oh, do you? The rest of you post seems to disagree with that.

Well then, I guess they should simply cancel maintenance... as it will inevitably impact someone's play time. Heck, I would like them to move it ahead a few more hours so that I can play CoH/V when I get home from Third shift!

Thanks for all the help folks, I appreciate it. Looks like I will have to do some more experimentation... *makes evil finger steeple*

You can add creatures from base enemy groups to your custom groups. Just go to the Group Editor, select the option to display All Characters, click on the Nictus group from the dropdown box, and then double click to add the things you want to your custom group boxes on the right.

I heard that it might not be possible to put in base bosses from custom groups, though. I haven't tested it myself so it's something you'll likely have to fiddle with.

[/ QUOTE ]
That first part is exactly what I have done so far, and that works flawlessly as far as I can tell.

Its that second bit that gets me... Phooey.

Okay, I am trying to make a custom group that uses White Dwarves and Bright Novae as its bosses. However, I don't find either in the dropdown menu of my custom group for the purposes of a Boss Fight. I could choose their parent group (Nictus) but then I won't have the custom group's name listed as the Faction (not to mention that I would then have to set the Surrounding Group to Custom, if I can even do that, I haven't checked).

Help?

Not being able to use the word "god" in reference to these limits our ability to write stories that tie into the CoH storyline.

[/ QUOTE ]
Too bad?

You do not have the right to offend those who believe that using the word in this situation is blasphemy any more that you have the right to yell "fire" in a crowded theater.

[/ QUOTE ]
That is a ridiculous comparison. One of which is an extremely dangerous act that could get people killed by trampling. The other is an affront to some people's sensibilities... nothing more.

Come back to the argument when you have something valid to add.

OT: I have never thought that words in and of themselves should be censored, banned or offensive. This is pointless. It teaches people ways that one can hurt people if they want to, and it also demonizes language. It is utterly ridiculous.

I already posted in this thread earlier, but I changed my global name, and saw this post with some more interesting information, so... consider this an update (if anyone even looks in here).

Global: @Thirty7
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Location: Grand Rapids, MI
Height: about 5'11"
Status: Partnered
Super Group: the Strands of Fate (co-Founder)
Characters: Wylde-Fire, Lost Emissary, Lost Grula'ak... most the rest are in my siggy
Drink: Mountain Dew... sometimes I think it may be my blood too
Favorite Music: Rock, most any kind
Degree: Psychology, pursuing an MSW at present.
Playing since: ummm, just after inventions (i9?)

Venture's point (AFAIK) was that not everyone comes to the fight prepared like that. For instance, I don't have any ranged Vet Powers... if it weren't for squeezing Dark Blast into my Stalker's build, I would be screwed versus that Mito.

Also, some people DO bring a knife to a gun fight...

To anyone who's thinking about following those links to Tvtropes just be warned, TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life. Do what I do and set a timer before entering. Bonus points for getting a friend to knock you unconscious if you don't exit after 2 minutes of the timer going off.

I officially hate that site... but not as much as I like it. How many hours was that? (Just one more link, I swear!)
