if you do a hero morality mission but choose to stay rogue are your hero alignment points supposed to reset because mine arent and I keep getting the same (quick and easy) morality mission and it's awesome

Okay so I thought I'd do the Preatoria stuff, and it's cool. I'm playing it all undercover resistance operative but I have sort of a burning question. Why the gently caress does the resistance talk like that?

When I went loyalist / power I didn't feel at all bad about shooting up the resistance for that exact reason. Also, I'm not sure if it's buggy or not but aren't the Praetorian storyline missions supposed to give you the option to choose one side or the other at several points, with a badge and everything associated with making five decisions? When I went through I only got a choice at the very beginning and the very end. Maybe it didn't come up because I chose the maximum rear end in a top hat contacts every time.

You can add "arm 1" to the costume file for amusing results. Not sure that others can see the huge arms though.

tezcat posted:loving love this dumb old game. It's such a unique thing that it's too bad it's in the current position. It's too old to be mainstream anymore, so NCSoft doesn't want to pay to maintain it. The community is fine with running it, seemingly for free out of passion, but if it gets too popular, NCSoft might bring down the hammer. Just happy to be able to play around in it again, at least for a little while. If they get taken down, though, here's to hoping the next group that takes up the banner on a private server figures out how to just let everyone set themselves to whatever level and gear they want. The early levels are fun and all, but depending on how long this lasts, I don't want to just be doing those and never the upper end.

Caidin posted:Why the gently caress does the resistance talk like that? Because Praetoria got its cyberpunk in your superhero game, you've got the asian megacorps waging a shadow war for dominance, morally grey decisions, fancy future and cybertech, and so on, so they get the made-up future linguistics like Shadowrun's 'Chummer, Drek, Frag' and so forth. SOME Of the poo poo they say kind of makes sense. Powers division and cops are Badgers because they've got badges, for example.

This is awesome, but ultimately, kind of disappointing. messed with it some today So this works, and other people can see it. i had someone immediately flip out and ask me how i did it the bad news is the server doesn't store the ArmScale variable (it has to be ArmScale 1 not Arm 1, easy mistake to make though and i figured out what was wrong just as easy) so if you log out, it's gone. You'll have to head to Icon and load the costume again every time you log in if you want to be The Big Armed Man  interestingly, Shields will scale to the larger arms but weapons just stay small.  it's still kind of great in it's own way though. it's too bad we can't get it to stick, this would be great for all sorts of gimmicks, super intelligent gorilla characters, robot stuff, etc. oh well.

Thundarr posted:When I went loyalist / power I didn't feel at all bad about shooting up the resistance for that exact reason. If I were to make a guess. You outleveled the contacts. Because you need to go through 1-3 contacts to get the morality choice in each area.(for each path. For example I have done 5 morality choices already and just hit imperial city because I locked my level at 10 and went through EVERY mission in the zone changing alignment to do the Crusader and Power routes.) You presumably hit 11 or 12 where the cut off for the first area is and lost those and had to got to imperial, then because you were already overleveled quickly overleveled their missions and moved to the last zone. And then when you hit 20 or 21 they immediately drop everything and say 'Hey get the gently caress out of Praetoria and play the real game.....or maybe go play in First Ward or something. We don't care where you go but you can't stay here.'

I use the freeware version of this software which will open a pigg file to let you search for power image names, I find a lot of them in stage1b.pigg though its possible they maybe be in many places,they were kinda messy back then . http://www.watto.org/game_extractor.html Its kind of janky to use but it works.

I think it's meant to be like cockney rhyming slang, where it's deliberately obtuse so that cops don't know what you're talking about. If anything it's TOO comprehensible.

Caidin posted:Why the gently caress does the resistance talk like that? I don't think there's a clearly stated answer in-game, but I do have a good theory: In a world where the oppressive dystopian government uses a near-endless number of faceless psychics to thought police the crap out of everyone and everything, why not talk (and think) in Cockney rhyming slang-esque nonsense to help obfuscate your intentions to outsiders? (Also, the Resistance are one big cyberpunk cliche so it comes with the territory.) The real bit of lore that still eludes me is the Resistance's preferred communication channel "The Static". From the name and context I'm inclined to believe they're masking their transmissions with the background hum of Praetoria's infrastructure, but despite being proper nouned and everything it also gets no substantial explanation. It might also only be mentioned like, three times total. Edit: Well I'll be, ParagonWiki actually had a page for it...which is basically exactly identical to my explanation here and nothing more.

The Static.....well the...second? contact there apparently invented a way to send messages through the powerlines or something and they've been using it since.....but yeah I think that's all we get about it.

I can't believe how good and cool this game is. I didn't play much when it was originally running but now I can really, really see why so many people missed it so badly. I wish more games had followed CoX's lead when it came to party dynamics/roles and the really satisfying emphasis on powerful control and support powers.

I assume it's sort of a large database issue where there's so much input that narrowing it into USEFUL is tricky, because if you say 'give me every person who is thinking about guns' then you get a hundred thousand people thinking about Call of Duty: Protectors of Praetoria, then all the Powers Division folks thinking about THEIR guns, and the Syndicate, and then way down at the bottom of the list maybe a few Resistance goons.
