Hello Dead Game Thread, There's another Dev's Choice for Architect Entertainment wrapping up on the Homecoming servers, and as one of the entrants, SA member "Fendahleen" is bringing you another hit in his series of custom missions. I posted about A Game of Thorns previously, so I'm going to share his most recent work here to spread the word, because I don't have any idea if he actually still reads this particular subforum any more and he probably wouldn't self-promote even if he does. Since the theme of this contest was THE HOLIDAYS, I present to you: quote:
It's three missions long and features some familiar CoH characters, humor, eggnog, horrifying violence, and adorable puppies. You can access it from any of the servers so you don't even need to join us on the wretched hive of scum and roleplayers that is Everlasting. There's lots of mission text and dialogue to read, but if you want to just zoom through the drat thing and punch reindeer to death then whatever, knock yourself out. You may not be able to actually vote the arc into the Dev's Choice, but you can at least vote it 5 to maybe give the judges a little encouragement! Don't let it get beat by the "Dance Party" arc, or the one that's like a bespoke mission set for a furry rat guild? I don't know, I didn't look too closely at that one.

I can't put into words how happy I am that this game is still going, I feel like this is one of the first times that I have actively wanted something from gaming and I've actually received it.

I actually blame Paragon a lot more more for retail COH dying than NCSoft since they were hemorrhaging money even with COH still being profitable. I just don't know why NC Soft didn't put the game on life support or even build out a small content team to build out occasional new content to keep the F2P train going. It's not like development was going that fast under Paragon. Get a new team to poo poo out new costume pieces and missions and maybe eventually some new sets and finish the incarnate system.

I played this and it was awesome. Jokes everywhere! That totally deserves to win the contest. One comment: one of the Fortunatas has a description saying Lord Recluse never listens to her because she's a woman. However, all NPC Fortunatas are women.

From my time loving around in homecoming, I noticed that a lot of groups hosting any community contests either highly prioritized furry entries, or wankbait waifu stuff when choosing winners.

I don't know a thing about them, they could be fine as people and as a guild, I just don't like their mission arc !! But now that I know that they use a sewer as their base I am obligated to destroy them out of professional rivalry, being a member of The Unofficial Roleplay Sewer (admittedly my SG only consists of three members and a few dozen alts, but we do have a sewer base.)

Wasn't there a thing where NC gave Paragon a bunch of money for a project but Paragon used it for a different project? Or was that just a rumor

FrostyPox posted:Wasn't there a thing where NC gave Paragon a bunch of money for a project but Paragon used it for a different project? Or was that just a rumor This is what I heard. COH was a money maker but not a great one, but Paragon took money for a few new games/development, and hosed around and produced nothing with it. So NCSoft was losing money overall on the studio. Again, I don't know why they didn't just put it on life support, but I suppose it wasn't profitable enough to worry about Nonexistence posted:Look how will we know they have a case of the not-gays if they don't give first place to a default setting female model with skin colored tights You joke, but the reason I stopped doing any of the contests (besides how loving long they take), is seeing a premade costume with a single theme-specific icon slapped on the chest win a big contest while the actually really cool and interesting designs that were actually directly themed didn't even get shout outs. I figured the costume contest crowd was either full of horny nerds or it was incestous and full of people just granting their friends wins and a waste of my time either way.

I never participated in a typical costume contest, but I did participate in a "first to meet me at x and has y" contest, where I won a chunk of influence for being the only person to show up with blue skin.

the trick to costume contests is to go in with the expectation that you will lose, but get the opportunity to laugh at all the terrible costumes and/or rip off the good ones for your own later use. but i did once have somebody walk up to me after a contest and hand over several million influence because they liked Dumpster Fire, the flaming hobo. and all i had to do was waste like an entire hour afking at the periphery, tabbing in occasionally to rp emote

I built a ton of good characters off the spoils of two wins back in the old days, purely by luck. One was a contest hosted by a group with an American hero theme and I happened to be there as Zombie MacArthur, my Douglas MacArthur raised by rituals and lightning strikes blaster zombie (battlecry: I HAVE RETURNED), the other a more generic win with an axe/shield brute just named Dwarven Fighter, who stood around making D&D jokes.

I had similar luck hopping on to Homecoming a while back. I got VERY lucky and took home a generous 3rd place that wound up funding a lot of characters. The funny thing is I recall people being a tad upset because it was just a plain business suit with the crystal ball head named “Sphere of Influence,” but I apparently made the guy running belly laugh for a minute. The money was nice, but being told about the laughs made my day.

I never won a costume contest, but I did get into a zero stakes robots MM vs ninja MM minion emote dance off with a fellow loser way back when live was going. God, MM can be such a pain to wrangle but the fact you can literally order your pet army to dance and other bullshit is fairly unique as far as I know.

The best thing is that you could load new macro configurations from a text file on your harddrive. I would have my minions perform entire plays, by having macro files for each scene, and then the final macro would load the macros for the next scene. I don't know you if you can still do that.

Tabletops posted:Anyone tried rock scrapper yet? Is it good Made a stone/stone brute. They tweaked Stone Armor so that it's no longer Granite Armor: The Powerset anymore. Rock Armor is beefier, Minerals buffs your recharge, Crystal gives you endurance (but it still costs endurance so eh). It's all right but not amazing.
