PeregrineFalcon Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Yes the GMs can enter your mission and watch you. This I know for a fact. Now I don't know if they can take control of an NPC that's there, but I seem to remember a GM saying that they have a number of options for how their avatar looks. So I'm guessing that ordinary person would be one of those options. 1 Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own.

Doomguide2005 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) The time on Live that I personally saw a GM enter a mission was after we filed a ticket because we couldn't complete a defeat all in a TF mission (mob stuck in terrain). They appeared as a Police Drone. We all buffed up and they moved the mob out ... and it got obliterated.

As to human form, I can only vaguely recall one time where devs appeared in a group activity as NPC character, like the Vahz. However, some were also there with their choice of avatar. Ghost Widow, for example, was present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High_Beam Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I too had a police drone GM roll in to help us with a Council creep who had been blown through the geometry. Not sure about just street walking NPC's But I tell myself that the GM's are secretly the ones saying nice things about my costume or how hot I look or how they should make an action figure of me. 1 Girls of Nukem High - Excelsior - Tempus Fabulous, Flattery, Jennifer Chilly, Betty Beatdown, Totally Cali, Two Gun Trixie Babes of War - Excelsior - High Beam (Yay), Di Di Guns, Runeslinger, Munitions Mistress, Tideway, Hard Melody, Blue Aria Many alts and lots of fun.

I recall the OG devs talking about controlling Rikti in the original invasion at the end of beta Just before Sunset, Zwillinger came to Defiant and he was followed by one of the support GMs and there ensured about 30 minutes of mayhem including Clockwork King superleaping through Atlas Park and Hamidon's big orb appearing, and plenty of other stuff. It was one of those rare game occurrences that we treasure. I'm pretty sure a lot of passing pedestrians began to dance, waving their arms in the air and moonwalk so... yes they can if they so desire. But your example sounds like normal NPC behaviour I suspect 2 There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator but only a fraction of people understand that.

ZorkNemesis Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I know i've seen one of the Homecoming GMs appear as a Spirit Shark projectile, they can be a lot of things if they so choose.

Not sure, now that I think, that I have seen them use anything besides police drones. I guess those things have good attacks. They can obliterate a GM.

Ghost Widow, for example, was present. I hadn't even mentally correlated in my old brain this sort of appearance. I'd heard of GMs showing on several occasions in this manner. Notably at the end of CoV beta in Mercy where our characters got to dogpiled several members of the Freedom Phalanx. And as I understand it after a certain moment when Howling Twilight and a Hami Bloom brought an invisibly watching Admin out to exclaim "you did what?!!"

Oubliette_Red Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I do not believe they can take over a random NPC, but they can appear wearing the visage of pretty much anything in the game. 1 Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx? Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread. Got a punny character? You should share it.
