You know what my personal pet peeve timesink is? The fact that we can't click on a monorail when the doors are open. You have to wait for them to close. This might seem trivial, since it takes three, four, maybe five seconds at most. But if you add up the thousands and thousands of monorail trips over the past twenty years, I could have written the Great American Novel in the time I spent waiting. Or used the AE to write Mynx's Furry Adventure.

Given that there are 834 players present at a typical Adamastor summoning, most likely the system couldn't find an empty spot nearby on the X or Y axis, so it tried the Z azis instead.

Do you happen to know exactly what iteration of Chatgpt you're using?

Would it be possible for the event queue display to show the names of the people who haven't joined?

If you use the Police Station map in AE, the mission will not end until the player takes the elevator to the jail area, even if there are no objectives in that area. To verify this, I created a quick AE mission, #66156. It has a defeat all enemies objective, but it will not end until you take the elevator, even though no mobs ever spawn there.

I'm not sure that render priority is the problem here. I was at an Adamastor summoning about a week ago where the same thing happened, and he didn't reappear even after most players left. I suspect that he spawned underneath the geometry because of crowding.

In hero radio missions, the hostage is missing the "I can see you once again" dialog text.

Or, for a more radical suggestion, how about chopping out all the intangibility powers and replacing them with powers that people actually use for reasons other than griefing? Black Hole, in particular, could create a small interdimensional cottage where your team can relax for a bit of tea before rejoining the fight.

Blaster > Atomic Manipulation > Metabolic Acceleration accepts endredux enhancements, but it costs no endurance. This screenshot isn't relevant.

Same deal. I was planning on a middle of the road review- some stuff I liked, some not- but judging from the author's response to the above review I'm not going to bother.

The Experienced Marksman recipe set seems to be on the "Do not sell to vendors" list.

A nice fun mission with an interesting premise. Good writing, plenty of clues and details, and several custom groups complete with costumes and bios. Only downside is a few spelling errors.

That might have been me when I was writing my review column on the Live forums.

There a bunch of other weird restrictions like this that get in the way. For example, you cannot use Mastermind upgrade powers on pets that are flying via Group Fly.

I've enjoyed JSH for some time now and have watched almost all of of his "worst MMO ever" videos. Nevertheless, this 'list' is garbage: if anything it's a list of the most talked about MMOs, not the ones you should play. It lists League of Angels at #77 or so, which even he says is 'soulless garbage'.

Yeah pretty much what he said. It's not a matter of 'impeding gameplay', but rather "Uh what am I doing and why am I doing this?"

On the Frostfire map, wall objectives in the Ice Slide Room can be unreachable.

I tried it again and was able to complete the arc this time. The idea of 'new hero who can't fit in' is fairly novel, there are a few touches of humor, and I like the innovative use of nav bar text. However, the player is never told what they're doing, or for who, or why. Details are sparse with no clues or contact bio. The main problem comes at the end of the arc, where an Arachnos target summons ambush waves at 75%, 50% and 25% health. This is a big no-no when the player has been reduced to level 10. I was able to beat it with a handful of large inspirations, but may players will fail. On the plus side, I encountered a fun bug when the mission ended...

On the first mission I punched some Arachnos, then some Clockwork, then more Arachnos, then a bunch of guys at random, but the mission won't end.

Pretty good, solid writing with several fun touches, plus a nice hidden reveal. There are two timed missions which can be failed, but they're not hard and you're warned before you hit accept.

This arc was so well written I can totally ignore that it writes for your character. Besides, since it's obvious from the very start that this is how it plays out, anyone who objects to being cast as Batman can quickly bail out.

Generally, it's considered bad form to the tell the player what their character thinks and feels, or to put more than basic dialog in their mouth. To use the example above, when the contact Mynx asks the player to investigate a Vahzilok hideout, the dialog option should be "Sure thing", not "I live to dispense justice!!" or "I better get paid enough for this..." or "I worship your furry tootsie-wootsies." Granted, this is more of a guideline than a rule. It's okay to tell the player what they feel if the story already makes broad assumptions about the character. For example, if the mission is titled "JUSTICE QUEST!!" and the mission blurb is "Join Mynx on a valiant quest to rid the city of the evil Dr. Vahzilok!!!", then it's okay to assume the character is a do-gooder. Also, IMHO it's okay to break the rule if the story is primarily a comedy. All my humorous arcs do this, and almost all my stuff is for laughs, so it turns out I break my own rule a lot. This particular arc doesn't really fit into either of those categories, but still the writing is so good that it works out. It's called the 'Ocelot Rule' because the people who care about this are all playing six breasted ocelots named "La'shy'a Ravenhair" in Pocket D at 1pm on a Wednesday. And their bio mentions Mynx's furry tootsie-wootsies.

A nice fun romp which casts the player as a Batman-ish hero, with the butler as your contact. There's plenty of dialog, text and clues as you explore a cross-dimensional mystery. There's a lot of humorous touches and injokes, especially the one about the asteroid 🙂. No kill-alls or tedious glowie hunts. It breaks the Ocelot Rule, but I can live with that when the writing is this good.
