From an interview with Mike Murphy, the NHL disciplinarian:
(Emphasis mine.)

And he goes on to say:
So going by the standards the Mike Murphy claims to have used in the same series, Boychuk should have gotten a suspension. The Boychuk hit was 2-3 seconds after Raymonds had the puck with Boychuk's stick between Raymond's legs. Boychuk steered Raymond into the boards. Another player touched the puck before Raymond hit the boards.

Heck, even Chara did the exact same type of hit on a Canadiens player (Max Pacioretty), causing more damage (a severe concussion and a non-displaced fractured fourth cervical vertebra in his neck after being hit into a glass partition between the benches), without suspension. What are hockey fans to gather from that double standard? It looks like no one wants to discipline the outgoing boss's son's team. Colin Campbell should have ceased being the NHL disciplinarian when his son started playing in the league.

Boston shows a clear pattern of play. From my perspective, an unwelcome style. I don't want any player injured. Not for Boston, not for the Canucks, not for any other player in the league. I'm worried about a repeat of the Bertuzzi/Moore incident. Instead of a player being taken off the ice to the hospital, the next player taken off the ice might go to the morgue.

I think that everyone watching would agree with that. I hope it is a game where skill decides the victory, not who beat the stuffing out of the other team.

I'd really hope the double standard shown by the officials and the league doesn't carry over to tonight.

Mike Murphy is being two-faced when you compare the Rome/Horton hit to the Boychuk/Raymond hit. Both hits were over a second from the player getting hit having possession, both hits were penalty worthy (Boychuk should have been called on obstruction for having his stick between Raymond's legs), and both caused serious injury. Horton is mobile and has come to Vancouver to watch the game, where as Raymond can't be moved from hospital yet. Raymond might not play again until November.

Either Rome didn't deserve a 4 game suspension or Boychuk needs to be benched.

On home ice for the Canucks.

If you add a channel on one character, then log into another character, that is what will happen.

Solution: When you add a chat channel use /chatsave after you've settled the new channel in a tab. Then when you log into another character use /chatload and the colors will be restored.

The GMs can, and often do, escalate the bugs they help players bypass straight to the devs/QA team for review.

And the steps they took to fix the problem.

I just re-read every one of your posts in this thread, I did NOT get that from any of your posts. I also didn't see anything close to the highlighted portion.

In that case, I hope you had a great birthday!

Photobucket has some limited editing tools as well. It can do cropping and basic adjustments.

Check out Silver Gale's post here for the set without the glowing bits.

Actually, it would be more helpful for those affected to use the "/petition" instead of "/bug". Bugs reports generally only get passed up the QA chain without getting fixed by a GM. A petition gets the GM attention that the player would like a fix to their character, if possible.

Thanks, I glossed over that.

While I don't think the original poster was trying to be unclear, how he had put it could be taken as wanting the zone to be mixed alignment.

If this is what he meant, then yeah it wouldn't be a major undertaking.

Yes, and people for the last 6 years have been saying that it is MUCH easier to get around the Rogue Isles than it is getting around Paragon City.

He was asking for a zone connection. It doesn't matter if that connection is a door, a car, an NPC, or even a giant octopus. To put it another way, it is the equivalent to a hyperlink on the Internet. It can, and often does, look like something other than a phrase or simple button. A hero/vigilante can't enter the villain version of Ouroborus or a villain base, and a villain/rogue can't enter the hero version of Ouroborus or a hero base. That has been a limitation ever since Issue 18 has been in closed beta, to my knowledge.

Black Scorpion and Second Measure during a recent ustream chat (At around time index 1:29:30.) said that in order to have a co-op Ouroborus they would have to re-write the zone, the contact system, and the mission system.

I don't try to "mind read" anything people post. I try to take every post as meaning exactly what it says.

Yes, I am not trying to be harsh. I am trying to be concise and clear.

As to the rogue transportation issue, I'm familiar with it. I started this game during Issue 3. There weren't any teleporters, bases, and the PTA was divided into the yellow and green lines. Pocket D didn't exist in its current form. It was the Paragon Dance Party (not the first version, but a later version). It had an entrance by the Steel Canyon ICON, half way along the east side of Terra Volta in IP, and Talos by the natural store. Founders' Falls and south Skyway didn't have Green Line access. I'm not guessing how bad it was to get around in Paragon City, I KNOW how bad it was. Even with the "scenic route" that rogues have to take, it is a lot easier than it used to be. And the game still has a lot of shortcuts even for rogues to use.

Can you please direct me to anywhere where the developers promised to re-vamp zones other than say they would "like to" revamp zones? My understanding of everything I've read is that they'd like to revisit zones, but doing so takes a long time and is a low priority.

What you are describing in this sentence is impossible. As in it cannot be done with this game. I do know that every time I tried to have a rogue or villain even attempt to join the mission in RWZ on a blue sider's Ramiel arc that it has failed to allow them on the team. Same goes for every blue side flashback (can only be started in the hero Ouroborus or a hero base) or the reverse (heroes and vigilantes can't be invited to the Villain version of Ramiel's arc or any villain flashback).

A rogue can't be in the blue side Ouroborus. It should be impossible to do. I don't know what mission or arc you were on, but it wasn't Ramiel's or you were a brute turned hero that still belonged to a villain group. That is something else entirely.

Well, at least not in Boston. Maybe the Canucks will play Cory Schneider in Boston.

I agree though, it will probably have to go to game 7. Both teams seem to have an issue with not playing on home ice.

Yeah, a real nail-biter. At least it was a win.

Yes, Pinnbadges (if I remember Pinnacle's main badge channel right) should have more people on than Triumph Watch 2.0 at that point. That would be a much better tool to use than the search tool in this case.

And, as I keep telling you, you don't need a full raid to do this.

Believe what you will, but those search results are not showing everyone on. I frequently play after midnight pacific on Triumph, an East Coast server. I know what I'm talking about as far as the search window is concerned.

I don't see the need to push it as it is fairly easy to get/unlock.

Get 1-4 other players (depending on build) to help take out the Pylons, then get the badge. The other thing you (or anyone wanting this) can do is ask on a badge, TF, general teaming, group, general chat, or even the help channel to get some help. Who knows a raid might just break out.

Given the low requirements, I see no problem with leaving this badge as an enticement.

Except for Faultline. It needs the four original and the 4 new explore badges from the re-vamp. From a ease of use standpoint the other beacons should just require all the explore badges in the zone as well.

Three points:

• That isn't showing all the matches, you need to click search again to show more.
• That isn't showing all the villains, rogues, or vigilantes in the red side zones.
• That is more than enough people to take out the pylons.

I suspect that is a bug, as the rest were specifically changed because Untouchable unlocks the Tommy Gun.

Yes, I've done it.

I'm proud to be Canadian.

And the "professional" attitude that the Bruins is any better? That disrespect for the game goes right down to the timekeeper in TD Garden. It is funny to note that TD stands for Toronto Dominion...

Even the Bruins' coach claims that he doesn't like his own team's attitude. They are a bunch of thugs.

Edit:
I will say this... The Bruins style of hockey had its place -- in the 70's. The game deserves better than that now.
