Don't take it personally; they are set in their ways and can't understand that some people might have different assumptions than they do. A good practice when joining a TF is to ask, "are we speeding this?" because many team leaders won't even tell you that at the outset, even though it can make a huge difference in fun for many. Remember, if you join a TF and it turns out to be run in a way you don't like, you can leave and form your own!
    This.

    Even as a Vet, I assume that any TF that is not announced to be a Speed Run, well, isn't. That is how I run mine... and I almost never announce them as Speed Runs. Instead I might call it a "Kill Most" or a "Skip Where We Can, but I like XP Run."

    Awww, I am touched you gave me credit in your Sig... I made that in MSPaint at work in only a few minutes! As far as I am concerned, Henri should get top billing for that one, and me... prolly not even an afterthought.

    I suppose that is true... but some folks, like me, enjoy a little side-project to muck about in a program I enjoy working with now and again. And while I wouldn't turn down cash... I also don't expect it and won't do anything with any requests I don't feel like honoring. As such, you won't see me jumping to create those backgrounds as the task is decidedly less artistic and more work-oriented than I care for.



    I also created two more images of the logo in different sizes:



    (Also, please do host these images elsewhere if you use them... I will likely move the images and/or delete them from my Photobucket account, and don't want you to have broken links all over creation.)

    Made a quick and dirty Signature Image of Henri's work:


    (If you do use it, please re-host the image... )

    Hmmm....

    One comment about Wallpapers... I find that the best wallpapers have the main focus of the image off to one side, and not dead center. That way, the user has more flexibility with where he places icons, and most folks start along the left and work their way toward the center.

    Also, glad you like the look, Lone Hero! I am rather proud of the finished product myself.

    I like all those versions, Hyper... esp with the drop shadow. We will have to see what the requestor likes best.
  7. Thirty-Seven
    I integrated the characters into the logo...


    Oh, and Hyperstrike? The background is a touch busy, but very nifty looking. I will leave it up to the SG Leader if he wants to use that portion or not.

    Well, I made one version of this that I was not pleased with at ALL. As such, I didn't even put it up here (let me know if you want to see it, but trust me it is SO not as good as the above).
    Now the next one I made I really like. Though, I gotta say, neither really quite gets the right feel without any of the Japanese characters on them. Hopefully you like this one.
    Also, let me know if you want a larger image, or even the 'raw' PSD file before I merged layers and PNG-erized it.
  9. Thirty-Seven
    Yeah, I figured the color scheme wouldn't be of much use considering the more rainbow-like elements of the genre.
  10. Thirty-Seven
    The Japanese part is definitely NOT my forte, but I will mess around with some fonts, and symbols for the background and see what I can come up with. I don't promise any kinda genius or anything.

    Oh, and BTW, what symbol do you use for the SG Icon in-game... it might serve to give some inspiration... or not. *shrug*
  11. Thirty-Seven
    Really? I did NOT know that. Pretty nifty indeed.

    I have an Ice/Storm Troller thatI like a bunch, though I haven't dusted him off in a good while. Also, I believe that Earth/Storm is about as low damage and high control of a Troller combo you can get (except maybe Earth/TA).

    I don't really have any more to say, since my Storm Troller is not an oft played alt.
  13. Thirty-Seven
    I can give it a shot... I am always up to mess around in Photoshop for no apparent reason.

    After all, you're not going to befriend the gibberishly named stranger who wants to sell you powerlevelling services are you?


    If those two things, especially the second one were put in, the free tell situation would be solved.
    Also, Tells to and from players marked as "Helper" should be possible, give the tag some meaning!

    No, you can't run regular content with Leagues.

    However, they are also not just for Trials. You can use them for GM hunting, Mothership Raids and Hamidon Events... also could be useful for CCs or something, SG Events?

Their inherent would be combination of Mastermind Supremacy and Tanker Gauntlet; you're supposed to get in the thick of things and keep the mob's attention.
    Love this idea... though I would go Assault/Summon, myslef.
  17. Thirty-Seven
    Gotta agree.

    All I have to say, Brigg, is faster is NOT better. And saying that you and your server "threw out" cetain methods ages ago because they were inefficient smacks of some sort of superiority issue.

    Personally, I like to be able to notice I was fighting things... and what methods were used. Folks who insist on speed runs are not invited to my teams and often get kicked for being a ****** to the rest of the team. YMMV.

    I especially enjoy how preposterous it is when my Thugs use manholes... in catwalks.

    I think that that is the plan... Eventually™

    A New Halloween

    POST-ACTION

    Perhaps a Fire/Dark Manip Blaster? Maybe color the powers blood red for the Vamp, Green for Frankie and browinsh for the Wolf?

    A customer who is wrong, shouldn't GET a refund.
