Friday with Means - January 15th, 2010 - Nothing personal

You must realize that any fan related stuff is VERY hard to take into a real game without a tremendous amount of liability. FC has no way to prove that this is your own work, which for them causes a legal liability. The most they can do is possibly recreate some of the work in their own visions (direct copies will still leave the legal liability).

You must realise that Doc is a professional who can be hired to do the job just like anyone else. Compensation or whether he is an AO fan do not play into this from a legal perspective.

In any case, Doc has not had "a fart in his general direction" beyond Kintaii saying they're interested. Whatever the legal ramification and whatnot, at least let him know in which direction you want this to go, FC. It just seems to be such a great opportunity to fix something that has been bugging a lot of people for a long time.

I remember this being discussed way back and alot of ideas were floating around. so... bump again for this idea:

choose 2 or 3 rewards out of a list when getting a daily mission.
list might include:

- xp
- axp
- vp
- credits
- tokens
- cru
- cake?
- random loot with "X" % chance of being phats (i.e. - viralbots)

also depends on which rewards you choose, as to which mobs you might face in mission. pick axp, you face some aliens. pick vp, you will face alot of human mobs. (pick cake, and you face Means, lol) and so on and so forth.

i realize this idea might be more work, but it would give the daily missions life in ao for more than 2 weeks.

Would like to see OFAB armor, and weapon type added as a possible reward if you so choose. 1 Mission /day, 6 days you got your MK 6 weapon done. I don't think thats OP, or game breaking imo, considering how tedious type farming is. That is all

ANY other way to get bios for weapons and armor would be a godsend, imo.

Or, just remove the nodrop flag on the typed bio for Ofab armor upgrades and Ofab Weapon upgrades. The typed bio for upgrading the regular Kyr weapons is not 'nodrop'.

Some may say this will destroy the economy, I don't think it would, and for those orgs that like to play together, it means an easier time to get the Ofab upgrades. most of the time when I do LE missions, if it is the wrong type it rots on the body, because if I don't have a toon to leave outside with a key, I can't do anything with it anyways.

So, IMHO just remove the nodrop flag and that will make allot of people happy.

Cheers!

Means, can you please remove save terminal in Camelot or give another for omnis, neutrals?
It is clearly advantage in fight for Tarasque. Bor terminal is close, but it takes time to zone, jump to 3rd floor and zone Camelot while clanners can zone right into Camelot castle when they die and they abusing these advantage very good.

4. Transfer will be available to both RK1 or RK2.

Didn't you change the default server from RK1 to RK2 after only a short time with RK1 as the default because all the Germans were going to be headed to RK1? Can we be the default server again then, because its so...dead...

[nitr0]

I have a question about transfer to rk1, and 2.

Will it be possible to transfer from one account to different servers, for example, 6 characters to rk1, and 2 to rk2?

This way we might keep some of the characters we already played on rk1/2 through the years, and might have to delete less of our toons.

And we would be able to *get rid* of some not so beloved toons, without deleting them.

We just need a way to make sure we cannot duplicate equipment this way (which might be the biggest issue about this).

wtb answer on that one ^^
and u can't dupe anything as the characters will be transfered and not copied

[Tazalanche]

3. DNW will run for months after the transfer becomes available. This will give players returning after some time the opportunity to refamiliarize themselves with the characters before the transfer process. At some well announced point in the future DNW will be shut down...but it will not be soon.

I see potential issues with that. Someone could wait a while for most others to transfer, then camp all of the high valued tradeable or shop sellable items until they are forced to transfer... bringing exaggerated amounts of credits & items, further crippling the already distorted economy of the remaining servers.

There should be a "Soon™" deadline where everyone that has not willingly transferred is forced to RK1 (or RK2). "Months™" is just asking for problems.

dnw is empty for so long, almost everybody who will be transferred will bring stuff worth billions anyways ^^

These aren't the WoW forums.. Being first (or definitely first page) doesn't mean much when there are < 100 (maybe even <50) people on the forums. Sorry, but it's true..

[macattack]

Means...
WRT the daily missions... will 200+ toon see any benefits in research/SK? (OK maybe not SK as much as SL mission) VP etc (as mentioned before)

it is sad that we can do 250ql mission on RK and gain no benefits except for the meager 80k credz (Oh... I did earn 2sk for research when my fat thumbed enf unlocked a door)

[Body]

I just forget ...

RK1 we Come !

I could have sworn that it was said that also 200+ would benefit from them.

Lol it's a Clan zone.

You didn't seem to mind it too much when you had control of Tara. Aww. :'(

1. A new large playfield is being created to allow the players of DNW to have access to some Cities on Transfer. Assignment to these cities will be done in as fair a manner as possible.

Will this zone be as awful as Coast of Peace/Tranquility, with no grid exits or fgrid exits?

[Technogen]

I wouldn't mind some exits to cop anc cot, icc got one so its do able.

Please might as well make this playfield have higher QL RK mobs that is the next outdoor best RK place to level after PW borgs.

I will name my first born child after you if you name the zone something that abbreviates to BFE. That'd just be too funny.

It may be true that this "first post" garbage is childish and such, but your claim of 100 or less people on this forum is wrong. Just check the number of hits on attachments in previous FWM postings. I've seen as many as 400 hits within the first couple of hours of his postings in the past... dont confuse active spammers with silent frequenters.

Oh, and hey Mostadio! Still playing?
