I respec the fact that you dont like me and im not gonna deny something that was said during pvp yet being 5-6 years ago i dont remember saying but still wont deny cause I did talk alot back then.. I have since matured and respec your option not to play with me but that wont be an issue since we copied most of the LMC to freedom since champ is kinda a ghost town besides tanker tuesdays (shout out to Ace ). I have a close relationship with my Mom also but dont know if I would hold a grudge with someone over a video game 6 years later.. GL with EG and Champion on your future endevours.

    Personally, I thought it was a real low class thing to initiate the trash talking when you were not being responded in kind. I guess time is supposed to wipe clean immature and irresponsible actions. I don't know, but I wasn't raised that way, but it's obvious people will do things and claim to be forgiving when they are the ones who are the offenders. I am amazed at the quick deflection to HVND, though. Good luck on Freedom, I wish you well in your future, just glad you're not here.
  5. As you said Ace, it was years ago. Always bothered me because it was a sg I liked and very much respected and yet, this was an officer in that sg who acted in a way I saw as inappropriate for the circumstances. Yes, by this time 6of9 was just about gone if not already gone, and LMC was dying.

    Yes, it's in the past, my note was that I don't want to associate with him. I do respect the fact he was stand up about it, though, fwiw. Just explaining what he should expect in the future if he should ever ask to join something I run and is told no.
  6. I kinda respect that answer as you stood up and didn't just deny and attack. Back in the day I wasn't a big pvp'er and didn't give a damn about trash talking, but I know some loved it. My real question was always why it was necessary.

    Like I said, stand up answer. Not that it matters in the grand scheme, but you are never welcome on a trial or tf I run. I do wish you good luck in your future though.
  7. Haze...long time no see.

    Last time we pvp'd was in bloody bay. After you kicked my butt (I am awful at pvp) you started telling me how you had sex with my mother. That was 2 weeks after she died. I understand how you would have no idea, especially after I told you to stop and why, but unfortunately you did have to keep going. I always thought what a shame it was that the LMC had such a representative, even though, a few people i am friends with was in that group.

    Such is life, right?
  8. Clearly he had an influence on some people, mostly 13-16 year olds who would follow him because of his promises of glory and domination. However, in the end, he left when he lost his luster and we should all put this to the past and continue moving forward.

  10. Quick Update:

    Earthguard
    -Leader: @Marut
    -Commamder: @Dr. Cobalt, @Xenadra

    Earth's last line of defense. We are here to do what can't be done. We taught Champion how to bring down Hami, yo!
  11. Thanks for the kind responses.

    I had started in League and Changed to Request during the raid, and was getting responses. I think in exhuberance, people felt the steamroll we started would only continue through the AV. I hope people can use this as a lesson learned and come back stronger the next time.
  12. Not being a big blue board forumite, and not having alot of practice at running Underground Trial outside of SG run trials, I just wanted to go over the final encounter again for future success. Based upon my last sentence it should be obvious the trial failed. However, not to start a drama thread, but I would like to go over a couple of things at the end encounter.

    1. Please don't rush in but gather in the hallway outside of the AV room.
    2. Wait for all buffs and the raid leader to call a "go" command.
    3. The AV confuse is tremendous and without multiple stacked Clarions and tight grouped tactics, you will fall victim to it.
    4. If the raid is falling due to mass confuse and or high damage, listen to the raid leader and fall back, regroup for buffs again and hit the AV again.
    5. Rushing in again and again unprotected to die again and again will just not accomplish anything.

    A full league on a trial should always have enough dps to take any end raid boss, but if the raid isn't properly protected by buffs you are going to have trouble. A little patience goes a long way.

  14. I am hearing that number might go up right before the event....bank on 500 million, and we'll see what today brings.

    Thanks for working so hard on this project, it obviously took many hours of planning and coordination with the community and devs and does not go unnoticed. A class act as usual, Ace.
  15. Earthguard would like to donate an extra 500 million influence to this auspicious event, to be distributed as the coordinators see fit. Contact @photometric later on today.
  16. There are a couple of really functional sg's on champion. Drop me a global friend request. We like to run a while with people to see if they are a good fit with our existing members...but that is just to make sure everyone gets along. SG's name is Earthguard. My global is: @photometric

    Exalted-united

    Let me get this straight...this is a channel which anyone on any server can join for stuff happening on the Exalted server? And anyone can join it including European players.
  18. I will apologize, I read this on my phone and the type was really small, so I might have missed it....
  19. Emp/Dark anyone?

    Tenebrous Tentacles and self heal attack thrown in for good measure. Immobilize your foes en masse while your fort/ab boosted buddies hack n slash to their delight. Semi-trollery while getting all 'fender benefits. Also, thoughts on leadership pool thrown into the mix.

    I would add that Paragon Studios is not the group who is receiving our payments - NCSoft is who the charges are made out to. The Devs are not in charge of how much the game costs us. Even if we love and trust the Devs, it's the giant, faceless Conglomerate that collects our money.

    Be Well!

    NCSoft is hardly a conglomerate. They provide the hardware and infrastructure and all the "hard" ware to make this game work. I think that the game provides enough value for the money I spend on it now. However that could change...and the "conglomerate" knows full well that most MMO's are providing free to play today and raising prices would be suicide for the player base. If they can turn more people into subscribing and/or microtransacting, the added revenue will help offset future costs. It is simple economics...new hardware and software costs money and we all need to remember that.

    I do not recall them stating anywhere that you could purchase these points in the game, only spend them.
    Have never used the online game store...but at the first post by Ghost Falcon he says we will be able to buy things within the game. Also they said something in the original announcement that you will be able to buy things without leaving what you are doing.

    You are correct, the VIP will cost $15, as someone put $10 for game access and $5 for new shinies.

    Additionally, you will by points that are then used to purchase items, so there is no need to have the CC on file.

    Lastly, I would never as a software developer of an MMO give out any information of how the transactions work on any level to the playerbase, this would be enormously risky.
    Well, of course to lay out their infrastructure would be a major mistake, however they should be able to confirm that the new functionality to accept credit card and paypal payments within the game client has been built within accordance of the PCIDSS through an external audit and vulnerability assessment. This is new functionality being implemented. Security is best implemented at design time and not a bolt on at the end. If they have done their homework they should have all of that already mapped out and designed as they are close to starting a beta.
  24. Will the in game store (as it will be handling real money transactions) be compliant with the PCIDSS? In what way will we be insured of these transactions being secured to prevent fraud as there have been a number of gaming companies who have been hit lately? Can you lay out the plans for incorporating transactional processing to the game clients?
