    Dude. You clearly don't know what your talking about. Speaking as someone who's run into this sort of thing in actual real life, and rather close to home...just stop talking. Seriously.
  4. Still wish like hell I got to pilot a Zeus Titan though.
    I mean, come ON! That should so be an option... /want

    Well you don't really need shields, I mean blasters do just fine without them, I quite enjoy blasters really.

    You also don't have to take Flamethrower and so on with AR, leaving you with more regualr gunrelated powers then the Soldier has.
    So, I can use a blaster and skip powers in both my primary AND my secondary to take stuff like tough and weave and stealth, all of which pretty much suck (in comparison) to try and get something workable, effectively shooting my effectiveness in the foot;

    Or I can use the SoA AT and be stuck with only three kinda meh gun options BUT get better rifle attacks actual armour, effective stealth and generall not have to gimp and penalise myself to fit the concept better.

    Yeah, I know which one im taking there, every freaking time.

    Still, I'm happy its even there in the first place to be honest!
    True enough. They'll do fine as placeholders. But only as place holders.
  7. Awesome. Last night when I got my Rogue Morality mission for Alpha, I was gleeing out.

    Although I didnt get to pilot a Zeus Titan like the Arbiter wanted me to (saaaad face ), I DID give Arachnos a huge "Up yours!", punch an Arbiter in the face, and then smack around the Hero who wanted me to turn myself in. Ha! Jog on!

    Could have been written for him, it was spot on
  8. Saying 'The Will will conquer all' and stuff is all well and good. But sometimes it's unbelievably bloody hard.

    There are genuine mental conditions that are really hard to combat. Depression is one of them.
    But this guy is very clearly pushing his luck just to get money out of NCSoft. Any idiot can see that, and I hope the Judge and Jury laugh him out of court in due time, as it should be.

    Because sometimes the game doesnt give us any other options that work.
    Want to be a light/energy blaster, but want some actual shields? Sorry! No such AT...unless you jack a Peacebringer into the place instead.

    Want a gunman that has, y'know, actual body armour? Or a gun that isn't some horrible franken-gun mess of all sorts of crap? Well, you pretty much either cant', OR you use a Soldier of Arachnos.

    I try not to contradict game lore and canon, sure. But I'll be damned if im told I CANT use an AT any damn way I want. The game was made for the players, players were not made for the game. WE take precedence, or else we wouldnt be playing.
  10. Commented on during Beta, hope it does get changed at some point. At least for my chars it isnt so bad.

    WS - Going full Villain
    Fire Blaster - Either vigilante in the city or going Full Villain
    Scrapper - Just doing it for access

    If you're looking for an English language server in Europe, then Defiant and Union are the two ones there - Union has quite a few RPers, and Defiant is just generally awesome - it's my home server in Europe
    This should be all the evidence you need to come to Union. Defiant has GG; run!

    If this guy wins, then EVERY MMO company would have to be sued as well. Because thats how the vast majority of them work.
    So, for the sake of the industry, really, this guy had better lose.

    Besides the fact thats is a ****ing stupid claim. I mean, honestly, do people these days not have brains?! Its like someone who sued the council for them stepping off the curb and twisting their ankle. And they won! It's criminal....it really is.

    IF I have fly on that char, Saph. If not? Feh.

    Yeah, the KoA arent that hard to kill...its just, if your a melee fighter, the caltrops are insanely infuriating. That, and the bosses have an insane duration stun grenade that can have squishies stunned for about 30-40 seconds. Which is LONG. And they crit from stealth, which can be immensely punishing.

    In this case it sounds like the guy may or may not have been gold selling, but was wronged regardless by NCSoft and is taking it out on NCSoft in legal fees. Since the subject at hand is Lineage II, I wholeheartedly agree that it deserves to burn and support this suit as ridiculous as it is in hopes that it does. Lineage II is a game of nothing but mindless grinds against constantly respawning world trash in hopes you can get more gold to be able to grind harder mobs, assuming someone doesn't gank you and steal the gear you spent half a year acquiring in less than a minutes time.
    I take it you've never played WoW. Or EVE. Or pratically any other MMO under the sun (barring CoX, from my experiences)

    The guy is a blatant, real life troll. Its been proven that games can be addictive. What did he expect? That a magical pixie would come out and give him treats and cookies for...something? Seriously, the idiocy of the 'victim' is on galactic levels.

    With this reboot, they’re planning to develop the property into the next big franchise-


    GODS I hate that word. "Our next big franchise-", "The newest movie franchise-", "This gaming franchise-"
    I can't place what year it was when the gaming and film industries sold their souls to the greater demons of marketting and 'franchising'. But it was a sad year.
    I know that games and films should be able to make money, and need to as well. But that shouldnt be a result of 'targetted marketing' and 'agressive advertising and publicity initiatives' or 'franchising', and all those other depraved marketting terms that sold themseleves the day they were made.
    It should be because the movies and games are GOOD and worth watching/playing! This is why every single movie adaption game to date has been a steaming pile of turd!

    /rant

    The artwork shot there looked interesting. Will be interested to see how it turns out, myself. Witholding judgement until a later date though.

    P.S. -

    Jay is sexy.
    Apparently when the 5th vanished back in I3, they actually deleted the old Axis America files. All of them.
    I wish they would re-build the proper Axis America units, rather than being stuck with the lame Council stand ins. Its especially noticeable on the bosses.

    Seriously. The Judge giving this joker ANY credit at all needs his head examined. I mean, seriously...How much? How much is this guy promising the Judge? Thats the only explanation I can come up with for cases like this going through...
  20. When I last ran the rose bush mission, you could just click on the same bush over and over to get the flowers. Which made a lot of sense, t'be honest. I mean, ever seen a rose bush with one flower? Didn't think so...
  21. Carnies are a bit annoying.
    Malta are worse.
    Knives of Artemis are ju-sifajfagnsdmbnargahrarharhar *sounds of violent mauling*

    I think I may scream the next time I see an enemy group use caltrops...
  22. The Vigilante missions I got last night were mostly in the vein of "Let the villain group get away/do damage for the purpose of getting led to their hideout/drawing out their boss" etc. Sacrificing certain things for the 'Greater Good' as the Vigilante percieves it, or for cutting off the snakes head rather than cutting the body where it will heal.

    It's all been very well written, so far. Sometimes the Rogue missions dont quite seem to go far enough to be 'redeeming', but some of them have been morally brighter, even if your also in it for the pay.

    Yeah...im actually on board for this, which saddens me.
    What purpose WAS it meant to serve? Because...I got nothin' *shrug*
  24. What she said, basically. It ain't possible
