This is in fact not true. The authenticator does make accounts more secure, and someone who is a bit careless with their account information is not also likely to lose their iPhone or keychain.

I've seen players who say this get themselves hacked.

Except it's not useless. The two step authentication at login means that people who get passwords and such can't get into the account. It means that someone who has a momentary lapse won't lose their account.

Yeah, i wasn't talking about the "Hidden" status, I was talking about the power description (which says it provides 4000% stealth) and the effect that's typically used for stealth effects (transparency).

Stuff keeps attacking me from a fairly significant distance, enough that I wonder if this is actually providing much stealth at all. I'm used to the stealth pool power, super speed, cloak of darkness, shadow fall, steamy mist, and hide, and I just feel like I get spotted a bit too frequently on my widow.

As an example, there's one mission filled with Longbow Eagles and those flying Longbow jet things. I swam halfway to the Longbow ship before these flying mobs started shooting at me. They were not directly above, but probably at a distance of 30-40 feet. I also entered a mission near a Winter Lord and some lts and minions- probably about 50 feet or so from the mobs - and got to enter the mission to a chorus of ice blasts.

This is the kind of thing that rarely, if ever, happens to me on my other characters with various forms of stealth - and I am not talking about stalkers.

I'm also not talking about complete invisibility.

Possibly!

But it doesn't really matter if it was done out of spite or because someone felt the name violated the TOS and needed to be changed, because ultimately the name violated the TOS and needed to be changed.

If you run the science store (Holsten Armitage) mission, you get Ouroboros access. Of course, odds are good you'll already have it by then.

Edit: Scooped! Curse you firefox text search!

I doubt it was out of spite, although I don't think the motive matters when someone reports a TOS violation. If you violate the TOS and get dinged for it, it's your own fault. It's a waste of time to try to analyze why someone reported you. After all, a spiteful report that's wrong probably won't get very far.

Sometimes it seems like you argue to hear your keys click and hold onto weird positions...

Having a poorly designed online store is a bad business practice. That they're willing to help customer correct errors isn't relevant to that point. Considering that this is the least of the problems I've seen people experience with the NCSoft store (anyone remember when they didn't allow Mastercard? How about the hypersensitive fraud detection that bans players making legitimate purchases?), I'm not sure how bad business practices are irrelevant to the fact that the site operates incorrectly.

Well, it's the "I have no sympathy for..." as if sympathy is relevant, as if their sympathy is some kind of litmus test for whether something should be changed. This isn't a matter of sympathy or feelings, but a matter of good vs. poor business practice.

I can only imagine this kind of reaction when people were accidentally permabanned from Guild Wars for using the NCSoft store a few weeks ago... "You should have known better than to use the store in the manner in which it was intended!"

This.

Are people really this self-absorbed?

No, they don't. This is stupid. What kind of pseudo-Nietzchean ******** is this?

Not entirely true! I picked up Frostmaiden on Champion shortly after names were freed up. I'd been trying to get it for a fairly long time, too.

This is probably true.

Because actions have consequences, and you're arguing that people should be able to violate community rules without any.

Because you're blaming people who receive offensive crap for reacting to it.

Your whole line about people not having the right to never be offended is ridiculous. No one's arguing that no one will ever be offended. However, no one who says or does something offensive has the right to expect that anyone who will be offended ignores him. It goes both ways: If you have the freedom of speech to speak up and say something offensive, then people have the freedom of speech to speak up and say "that was offensive."

It seems lopsided that you keep defending the people who say obnoxious things and telling the people who are told obnoxious things to suck it up.

Also, something that may not seem obnoxious or offensive to you may easily be obnoxious or offensive to someone else, and if someone says "hey, that was offensive," does it hurt to pay attention and maybe learn something?

You add a lot. You can be a disagreeable...guy...sometimes, but overall you being here is better than you not being here.

Nope, not really.

This is like going through the looking glass.

He characterized my refusal as an unwillingness to lose on those stakes, but it's just... man, why would I want to win on those stakes?

Also, it relied on his good faith, since he'd be the one making or breaking on the market.

Also, why he picked on my comment when multiple people were saying the same thing.

Not as bold as the guy who wanted to bet me that he'd fail in the villain market, with the stakes being "I leave the game forever" if he wins, and "he leaves the game forever" when I win.

ISTR blowing that off as so much ITG posturing. No need to make a point with so much melodrama.

No, he said it's self-evident that videogames use many of the same forms of expression as other existing art forms. From this he (correctly) concludes that video games are art.

I already explained this: Because the nature of the stories that DC tells. There's no final ending. Each ending is a mostly self-contained thing, but the next writer that wants to use the Joker will use the Joker. Killing these characters off doesn't matter because the next writer will still use them.

You're looking for a certain kind of narrative that DC tends to not use in their superhero comics. Would it be better or more interesting if villains started getting offed left and right? Maybe. The movies certainly like killing villains off in the same installment they appear, but the movies get around the problem of reusing dead characters by rebooting continuity more thoroughly than DC ever has.

I log in every day just to report half your character names all over again.











I hope no one actually believed that.

I think we're all issued a mysterious neg-repper.

The Stardock (Galactic Civilizations, Demigod, Sins of a Solar Empire, etc) forum has positive rep only, every rep counts as one point, and it's always signed.

And yeah, calling people out for being jerks can get the most ridiculous, defensive neg rep ever.

It was censored.
