...so, you *do* get it?

I'm so confused.

Also, nice post count padding.

"This grocery store has increased your maximum apples by 5%."

Hey guys, can you tell me what this means? Do you have more apples or something?

It's only mean if you allow it to be mean. If you don't know how to read power info, then...

"Your Superior Condition has increased your maximum endurance by 5%." - Brutes

"Your Superior Condition has increased your maximum endurance by 5%." - Stalkers

Isn't going to make sense or be confusing in any way?

Last night on Pinnacle, we wiped Zwil's (coughMakocough) invasion so hard it crashed his computer, so he had the gall to stand on top of the hill in Talos doing the MJ dance while he spawned like 100 level 54 Arachnos bosses.

Epic fun had by all!

*cough*

*points to sig*

Carry on, then.

Pinnacle killed Lusca in Talos.

We also broke Zwillinger's computer, we rocked so hard.

So, there's that.

Also, these and other helpful tips can be gleaned by reading the power's info in the actual game.

Arite arite.

I'll see what I can do. If I'm not there after you've waited 15, fill the slot.

I wonder what he'll think of the sound effects from the Ghosts' attacks...gives me a nosebleed just thinking about it.

I gleefully remember the last room in the Eden trial, having a granite tank herd the ENTIRE bottom cave floor (something like 300 crystal DE) into one of the big craters, and Nova-ing EVERYTHING. It was amazing.

Why so bloody early?! Some people have to work during the day, ya know. I don't even get off work until 5 EST.

However, if I'm home (staying with the GF while my dad's on vacation for a few days) and if you guys don't mind waiting a few minutes for me to get home, I'd love to join with my newly 50 Cold/Ice offender.

Whoops, we have a mixed metaphor:

When you buy a car, you choose it. If it doesn't have everything you want, that's your own fault.

When you're given a car, you don't choose it. Everything in it, whether you want it or not, is more than you had before.

We don't get to pick and choose which content we receive. It's given to us. I don't have *any* issue with suggesting new ideas, new mechanics or new implementations of things (my own signature notwithstanding). That's why we have an entire Suggestions forum.

I take issue with the way this particular suggestion was implemented, as though needing to preface it by saying "Don't get me wrong, I love what you're doing here, BUT..." sounds condescending. The way people in the South get made fun of for saying "Bless her heart, God love her, but your sister is just a syphilis farm." What, I said "bless her heart", that makes it okay.

It's the same as another recently active poster who starts every thread with "I don't believe in the defense mechanic, and here's why..." like they need to justify the point before it's even made.

Blue, I'm sorry if it seems like I'm unreasonably angry at you, because I'm not. I like to see new suggestions when they make sense. I just worry that your suggestion (and truthfully, whether it makes sense or not isn't up to me; I don't write the code) won't be taken seriously when you caveat it beforehand. All you have to do is say "You know what would be cool? Generic Powerset." and have the discussion in that thread. No need to defend or justify your position before you even make it.

Hmmmmm....

Much to think about, much to think about indeed.

NA looks to be very clicky, so I'd hesitate with the Archery choice...but how are you conceptualizing Elec? Other than "It's not really this bad. It's not really this bad. It's not really this bad!"

What does art have anything to do with it? And who's to say Picasso's art was any good?

Art is ENTIRELY subjective. People who think nude 40-year-olds rolling around in grease paint is fantastic artistic expression. Others think it's a naked dude rolling around.

This game, and the content created by its developers, is not the same. I cannot express more clearly that the "Thanks for this! Do it better!" screams to me ungrateful entitlement.

Again, I bring it back to the complaints I receive at work every single day. People don't complain because they want the quality of their restaurant experience improved, they call expecting a handout because in most cases that's all we do. They feel, because of a simple human error, they are entitled to free food. It's infuriating.

You like what you've gotten? Great! That's pancaking fantastic. Do you have suggestions on other things you'd like? Awesome! Go put that in the suggestions forum.

I, personally, believe the "Generic Powerset where I get to choose whatever animation I want" idea is ludicrous and will give you the benefit of the doubt in posts in the future, but I can see that you'll never understand why what you're saying *right now* in *this thread* is counterproductive and offensive to the people who are creating what you say you enjoy...so...I'll bow out, and utterly reject *your* argument, good sir or madam.

I think you're missing the point where we feel that saying "Thanks for all the stuff, but can you do it better?" implies that you don't *really* like what you've gotten, because you're asking for better.

It implies, through the phrasing, that you're not actually grateful for what you've received, because you're still asking for more. If you were truly satisfied, you wouldn't need more.

So, either you're satisfied or you're not. Kind of like pregnancy. There is no middle ground.

That would be the one referred to as "Monks With Laser Swords and other Bits In SPAAAAAAAAACE!"

*facepalm*

Again, with the "you don't need to stand in the rain to know you'll get wet."

He feels he doesn't *need* to read your post to know the general tone of it. The specifics, to him, aren't important. He has constructed an idea of you and your contributions to the forum, and decided it's better for him if he doesn't actually read what you say. He's not trolling, necessarily, just expressing his opinion primarily because he was called out in a direct conflict due to his choice of wording.

Isn't Guild Wars the one where you can't jump?

I played it once like six years ago, and that's the only part about it I remember. Not being able to jump. In an action-fantasy MMO.

o.0

Much obliged, good sir or madam. I do my best.

In any case, that was *my* one beef with it, so...that's a win, in my book.
