I gotta go with Gavin on this. Maybe it's the timing, but most of the negativity I would see in the CoX channel is pretty focused on something a player (usually in STO, but there was a rush of NWO for a bit) was having an issue with at that moment. I can't speak to the Kickstarter discussion, since I haven't been on CO (or…

Much as I love watching the back and forth about the art style, especially as someone who was "out of the scene" for much of the 90s and has no skin in the game, as it were, I've yet to see this (the above quote) specifically addressed. Many of the devs (both the MWM team and the former Paragon crew) have been clear, in…
-
Man, that's a whole lotta TL;DR! What happened to the pictures of food?
-
I know I'm a bit foggy (bad med day), so forgive me if I seem obtuse, but I don't think I get which way you fall with that image. It looks pretty bad@$$, but I have seen you develop an ornery streak when tested. :biggrin:
-
Considering what has been accomplished without "professional" software, I'm pretty impressed. These are actual professionals who do this sort of thing for a living, so it's not like a ragtag bunch of amateurs. It's worth pointing out, at least to most of you, that most of the money concerns that have been raised have also…
-
I think it's fun to watch, but, then, I'm more than a little morbid. :biggrin:
-
I would search for the equivalent scene from Galaxy Quest, but the thread has sat for two days unlocked. I think I'll just raid the fridge and move on.
-
I've had my Tab key stick on me, so it wasn't actually doing anything when I hit it. Fortunately, I only got my username typed in before I saw what had happened, but it is easy to be in a hurry and type something where you didn't intend to. Also being in IT IRL, I see things like this a lot, too, and it sucks that…
-
Actually, I've made a couple of "nude" characters, if you consider the Barbie version of Dr. Manhattan to be nude. No, you can't do it in correct skin tones (though I haven't done dark brown), but you can match the flesh to the tights. :biggrin: I didn't keep the characters, because there was no real purpose other than…
-
I have gone into Club Caprice exactly three times. In each case, I was drunk IRL. Somehow, I still haven't been chatbanned.
-
"Foam fingering?" *snicker*
-
Whaddaya mean, I can't make an Andorrian? I can make a troll and a dwarf!
-
Wow. The necro rules are hit and miss, huh?
-
PHILISTINE! :wink:
-
Two points, one technical, the other pseudo-legal: ("pseudo" because IANAL; I'm still working on my first cup of coffee, so please bear with me) First, one person mentioned using "Report Spam" on violators. I could be wrong, but I think that sets a different procedure in motion that involves looking at the reportee's chat…

Well played, sir! Didn't even have to hear the song, and I'm got! :wink:
-
Part of me is disappointed that this isn't a "coming out" thread. :biggrin: Honestly, I will not be sad when this game closes. I know some of you will wonder why, then, I am here, and that the bulk of you won't bat an eye. For me, this is not a game, the way City of Heroes was. City was the first game I thought was worth…
-
In all seriousness, I have no idea what has happened, here. There were sometimes heated tempers, and there were a few individuals who seemed to enjoy disagreeing with each other, but something has definitely happened. On the up side, watching some of the threads implode was hilarious. :tongue:
-
This is why we think you're Australo-Canadian. And a pirate. :biggrin:
-
I, in point of fact, went to Michigan. The part where there is no internet. Or cell signal. That's why I'm replying to a week-old post. :biggrin:
-
OK, I had no intention of commenting here, just watching to see when the train went off the rails, but, dude! I am SO sorry! :frown: Also, Smooch, the syntax is fine. The entire term before the division symbol is divided. Recheck your order of operations?
-
I thought it was a plushy, like a Beanie RSD! Also, :biggrin:
-
If there isn't at least one "Carlos Danger" in game, tonight, I'm totally makin' one! I'm thinkin' Soldier AT...
-
I'm really trying not to look at that halfling. It looks like Syndrome, from The Incredibles. I'm not trying to say that CO actually looks like a comic, but I think we may be quibbling over a "generational" difference. Some of the stuff on Cartoon Network, maybe five years ago or so, looks like this, so I can grant that it…
-
OK, I'll grant you the Kubert analogy, but not the "fix." NWO looks like Saturday morning cartoons, which was what I was trying to say with the rest of my post. The characters have a detachedness to them, like the original Scooby Doo. To change my comparison of the visual style of CO to essentially the same thing kinda…
-
I was looking up which game came first, DDO or AoC, but I realized that this one is less a lack of originality. NWO came out years after those, while they came out comparatively close to each other. Also, Gygax, Arneson, and company leaned heavily on Robert Howard, as well as Tolkein, in designing the mechanics and world…
-
I gotta give some love to Guild Wars of the Gaurdians! I honestly don't recall the system in GW1, but I do recall finding bottles of dye and being able to apply them to my clothing/armor. I got board with the original around level 17, and haven't started it back up in more than a year. I think the last time I did, it was…
-
For me, there are two things at work in the graphics: the characters and the environment. The Environment is gorgeous. That is without question. Dialing up the settings to max provides an impressive, almost cinematic vista. I say almost, because it's still not photo-real, like one would see in a summer blockbuster. That…
-
Not sure "armpit noise" without the noise isn't just... odd.
-
Yeah, I stole that. Sorry.
-
My inner 12 year old is screaming to post something about this, but Biff would smack it well... :cool:
-
I can't say for sure, since I'm not on the computer that has the game installed, ATM. I poked at a lot of settings. I would like to say that I was methodical and hit them all, but I have no reliable recollection. I'll do a more detailed test, tonight, and take some notes as I go, but it's really not what's keeping me from…
-
Yeah, there is some kind of issue that I haven't been able to resolve. I've fiddled with the graphics settings, and it still looks off. I have no trouble in CO or STO with getting decent quality with minimal lag issues, but NWO kind of eludes me. And, while my computer isn't some epic artifact suitable for the Glorious PC…
-
In a word, no. :smile: I can't say how many times I've been in Club Caprice, but it's under half a dozen. Maybe that has something to do with it. Also, I've only gone in with male characters, so far. Now, I don't want to. It's becoming disheartening, the things that are happening in this game.
-
Ya know, I usually have no trouble seeing someone else's point of view on just about any issue, even if I think that person is wrong. The level of petulant whining in this thread is pathetic.
-
Thank you. I was worried that it might be misconstrued as solicitation or something. I have to admit, I'm not sure I know all the rules and terms; I just try to be a nice guy. :smile:
-
What if we just bought them lunch? We know it's no more than a dozen people. Someone here must be in the Seattle area. (I'm closer to Chicago, or I could be more actively helpful) Pizza for that many people can't cost than $150, $200 at most. Each of us chipping in $5 or $10... It would be tangible, and it would be…
-
Has anyone found the offices?
-
:eek: NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!!!
-
Yes, but we really have to work to get that 2 minutes! This "fifteen minutes" is kind of like a fraction of that work, compared to the proportionate gratification at the end.
-
Yeah, I would look under your account settings, or wherever that lives, because I've never had a problem receiving the code, and I use Yahoo. Yahoo is almost worse than Hotmail, sometimes, with the random Spam filter settings changes.
-
You didn't know that at least 30% of all statistics are made up on the spot? :tongue:
-
Have a few more grown up beverages of your choice. Then unfocus your eyes and squint a little. :biggrin:
-
Actually, for me, "Z" was the only way to interact. Clicking the "bar" wasn't working.
-
I don't actually play the game. This is just the last forum that hasn't kicked me off for trolling. :biggrin: Totally kidding. I enjoy the game. I'm not sure if I like it. I've spent a little on the game. Right now, I'm playing the Zen game to unlock stuff, and I'm still working my way through the content. I haven't gotten…

Well, if it's server rodents, you know what we need.

Missing a couple of digits. I get gibberish.
