Diantane Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 No, its not the chicken and the egg... Why do so many players go to the ouroboros and then just stand there all day? Could they possibly run away from the portal so travelers can actually see it to click on? 1 3 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I’ve seen lots of requests for the portal to “shove” players away. However, I want something more fun implemented…. After standing next to the portal for more than 30 seconds, start removing things 10mill infl every 5 seconds. Once that’s gone, start removing badges, followed by levels. If you’re still sitting there, broke, badge-less and at level 1 and still don’t move……auto delete!!! 😈 1 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperPlyx Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 If this is a serious question, most the time I am chatting with someone. but I always stand on the little platform behind the portal out of the way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techwright Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) I don't think the OP is questioning why folks are standing in Oro in a general sense, so explanations of why stand/float elsewhere aren't really pertinent, I think the question regards standing in the way of the portal so others have trouble using it. After all, folks stand around in several zones, Atlas Park most notably. Honestly, hate to say it, but I suspect the answer is: I mean, short of dc'ing when entering the zone, how hard is it to take 2 steps?

Drop ouro, zone and get out of the game rig. And your toon…standing at the ouro entrance. As you Zone in have a temp power KB to self 45 mag. 1 min delay, cancels when you move 20 feet. Otherwise…have a nice flight, we will see you in the pool. Bonus points for having them land with random innertube…. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranebump Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 My not so favorite comparison to the experience related by the OP: I'm scripting mishes in AE, and someone is multiboxing toons through fire farms, all of which have that ground pound ability. They can all be standing there for several minutes, slamming, slamming, slamming away, until the player shows back up and sends them back in (to the asteroid map, I'd wager). My whole screen shakes constantly. I know, I know -- I can go to the little room in the back where all that is shut off. Or I can fiddle with settings, etcetcetc. Still, I'm just like, What exactly are you up to while this mass of same-looking characters is minioning away in here? 1 1 1 I have done a TON of AE work, both long form and single arc. Just search the AE mish list for my sig @cranebump. For more information on my stories, head to the AE forum sub-heading and look for “Crane’s World.” Support your AE authors! We ARE the new content.

Luger Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Maybe when you arrive in Ouro, you should land in the pool instead of at the portal. There must be an arrival point already since jumping off the side and landing in the water below puts you back up in the pool. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFFF Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I'll propose that squatting players get -1000 repel/knockback resistance after 30 seconds. Imagine punting them a la Hellion Golf using repel or power push (or for that matter using Energy Torrent to remove a whole group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerswin Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I stand on top of the portal with all of my pets summoned and with a max size costume because I am an important person on this server and I do not want to give up my first-in-line-to-the-portal spot to some obnoxious nerd. 1 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Shocker Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Have 2 portals - one entrance, one exit, both on the sky islands and use the whoosher/jumpgates from the Shadow Shard to reach the main Ouro floating space station thing. You could actually use ice like in the Frostfire mission at the arrival portal to ensure those arriving get sent to the centre 1 2 There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator but only a fraction of people understand that.

Diantane Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 I'd say if you wanted to go afk, doing so right at the ouro portal is a bad idea as travelers are trying to click on the portal and can't because so many are blocking it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenanigunner Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 The request to "distribute" entry to Ouro has been pending a long time; I've assumed there's some technical/code issue keeping it from being implemented. But I've been hanging out near Ms. Liberty for a while as the flood of newbs comes in, and it seems to me that the initial materialization of new alts on the steps is random over a fairly large area.
