Quote:and personal opinions were forbidden from being posted on internet message boards when, exactly?Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Thanks for speaking for everyone. I'm sure the rest of the game appreciates it. When did you become psychic again? -
Quote:The real question that comes from all of this: Are any of these people ever going to be able to dine at a restaurant again?Originally Posted by Dark_Respite
Dating will become a series of dinners ordered in at one of their respective SG bases?
Another great installment Mich. But damn those cliff-hangers! -
This is great news
I've never been happier to be wrong about anything

Quote:Once again; simply because I disagree with someone, dismiss a personal attack with a milder personal attack or point out hypocrisy (none of which have to do with calling someone a mental deficient or word usage) have zero bearing upon whether something is a fact or an opinion.Originally Posted by Void_Huntress
Compliance.
Wherein BigFish disregards facts and dismisses someone categorically:
Wherein BigFish disregards facts and throws a correctly used word back in someone's face:
There might be more, either here or elsewhere, but I think two examples suffices. -
Quote:I used hyperbole because I was genuinely angry with the dismissive tone of this discussion. Show me where I missed reality? Was there an offramp somewhere?Originally Posted by Void_Huntress
This is .. wow, dude.
No, man, we don't need you to quote everything, we just .. want what you say to have a BASIS in what other people are saying, and the facts surrounding the matter in THIS reality, not .. whatever version of things you're reading from in your private reality. -

I'm just going to let this stand on its own. It is a beautiful punchline in its own right. I leave it to the reader to decide what the joke is.

Quote:Excuse me, but I did write about what she wrote. It just wasn't in a way that you approved of. I even summarized her post after you accused me of not reading it. What do you want? Direct quoting of every statement?Originally Posted by Bosstone
Perfect. Now try thinking as well. I know it can be hard to do simultaneously.
Post #441. Your opinion -- that is, what you think about what Arcanaville said -- is not backed by the facts -- that is, what Arcanaville actually wrote. Your opinion has no grounding upon which to stand. It was dead on arrival. It shuffled off this mortal coil as soon as it arrived. It has joined the choir invisible. It is, in fact, an ex-opinion.

Quote:I took my medication today. Maybe that's why I'm not quite that full of itOriginally Posted by Void_Huntress
a) This isn't copying anything from other MMOs. It's still DIFFERENT from how the other folks do it. It may still not be desirable to you, but that doesn't mean it's just a 'copy'.
b) The only thing that's being dismissed is your insanity being passed off as something rational.
Seriously, you're off your rocker. I'm an obligate soloer, for reasons I've expressed before, and I still think you're full of it. Not as full of it as some others, but pretty high up there.

Quote:Can't find where I said that there was something other than an opinion in any post where I replied to youOriginally Posted by Bosstone
Already did. Heck, you even replied to the post where I did.
I might be off my rocker, but I can still read -

You're entitled to your own opinion. You're not entitled to your own facts.

Quote:And I still don't think that copying the endgame content from other MMOs, which is far from difficult, is an acceptable solution to a problem that hadn't existed for the seven previous yearsOriginally Posted by Bosstone
To step away from the silliness for a bit, I think what set BigFish off was this part specifically:Somehow, he got the impression that this, which just explains why it's not a simple task, is actually arguing that the devs will not implement a solo option due to the difficulty.
Naturally it says absolutely nothing of the sort.
Of course, Paragon may still choose not to implement a solo option, and it may indeed be because of the difficulty of the task, but more specifically because they may decide that the effort is not worth the potential return. "More trouble than it's worth" springs to mind. I personally hope this isn't the case, but there is certainly a rational reason to avoid doing something difficult other than that they are chicken and want to spit on JFK's grave.
Go ahead and keep being dismissive. I'm not going away -
Quote:I disagree with people who make blatantly dismissive comments about a differing opinion. If that makes me a childish fool, I can live with thatOriginally Posted by TrueMetal
So you just start flailing wildly at anyone who seems an opportunistic target?
I don't care that you're an ***hole. I'm an ***hole. You, however, are just being childish and making a fool of yourself. It's pathetic.

Quote:I read it, and said I read it. What makes you think insulting me will get me to change my opinion?Originally Posted by Arcanaville
What makes you think you need forgiveness from me, when you're disagreeing with something I wrote you admit you didn't actually read. I'm not even sure that counts as actual disagreement here on Earth. I'm not even sure what specifically it is you're disagreeing with, much less whether I actually said it.

See Johnny play.
See Johnny play MMO.
Play, Johnny, play.
See Johnny want the best stuff.
Team, Johnny, team.
Johnny spits on teamers.
See Johnny solo.
Solo, Johnny, solo.
Johnny can only get second-best stuff.
See Johnny post.
Flame, Johnny, flame.
I'm running lvl 50 TFs to sell purple drops. I'm not even trying to advance my 1 level 50 toon any farther than the common Alpha boost
This isn't about not being able to advance, slick. It's about this gaming suddenly turning away from where 90% of it's content resides. Being able to be run solo. Copy and paste content from other MMOs doesn't seem acceptable -

What do you mean, "too?"

Quote:You weren't the first to attack, nor were you the first person I responded toOriginally Posted by Bosstone
Violently.
Violently...attacked.
If you're going to call responses to your opinions violent attacks, Mr. Melodrama, then it's only fair to point out that you strike first and what follows is mere self defense.
It's not all about you, please -
Quote:I read it, and omitted the parts that didn't deal with developing the Incarnate System. Forgive me for not retreating to my fainting couch because I don't agree with youOriginally Posted by Arcanaville
If you're going to take the time to respond to my posts, I would prefer if you took the time to read them first. This is either a deliberate non-sequitor or an accidental leak of illiteracy.

Quote:And that's also the reason I'm not playing them. Your point was what, again?Originally Posted by Bosstone
...Yeah, actually, they have. Endgame in most of the popular MMOs is either PVP or large-scale teaming.
I said "Failing to balance Solo vs Teamed". Who failed reading comprehension there? -
Quote:Try having an opinion get violently attacked. Would you just passively let people pile on without trying to defend yourself?Originally Posted by Mylia
I am not like others in this thread anti-soloers. I tend to solo all my characters to 50; although I do team for T/SFs only. I have stated people to have patience till we learn more.
I do not read every thread in this form, and this is the first time I stepped into you. People are never surprised on the internet cause *gasp* people have seen it with unanimity.
Also I know people will look at my post, digest them and build their own criticism whether it is for me or against me that is their opinion. If they reply I will try and reply back so eventually we could get on the same level. For you it seems to be a waste of space.
Since this thread has been derailed horribly I am leaving you alone after this so you can attack anyone else you feel like.
Sorry, but I am not going to do that -
Quote:Being able to run your mouth is not a sign of genius, old sprout. I defer to Arcana in the realm of Mathematics. But long winded opinions don't make her rightOriginally Posted by Bosstone
Your maturity is matched only by your reading comprehension, old bean.
Show me where I missed the rest. Was it when she was going on and on about different currencies and simplicity vs complexity? My point was that she was making excuses, specifically that it was HARD to balance solo endgame content. Obviously, since all the other big MMOs have failed to do so *smirk*
Opinions are just that, and mine are just as valid as yours or hers, whether you agree with me or not -
Quote:If you don't want to be judged on what YOU posted? It works both ways, but people always forget thatOriginally Posted by Mylia
Wow congrats on really being an ***. If you did not want to be judged on what you said in a post than you should of not typed it out. I do not "love" or put Arcana on any higher pedestal than most people on the forums.
Also congrats you can reference a former President...it took so much work since I would assume most American student's learn it in high school.
GG was being childish yes...although I did not see other people take much offense compared to the bile you are spewing.
You've obviously been skipping over/nodding in agreement with the solo haters brigade
and I've already openly admitted to being an *** on these boards at least 10 times. why do you act surprised? -
Quote:Funny. I guess you point and chuckle at the Special Education students too.Originally Posted by MajorPrankster
I won't ever report you.
Then, I would not be able to laugh at you.
Lovely people we're attracting to the game now, eh? -
Quote:Can you put even more hero worship into your comments, because you're really not putting enough heart into it. At least I can add cultural references into my posts for people older than 12Originally Posted by Mylia
Yes that is all Arcana said in her last paragraph. With her godly insight into the minds of the developers she has pulled out that due to JFK's speech from years past, about "We do not do these things because they are easy" about politics and life converted it to a game. THEN said after all that solo path is too hard so we will never do it cause we are lazy.
Can you miss the point again entirely next time with more ignorance.
Just as your ignorant, childish, and disrespectful behavior is needed. I have seen you add nothing to this thread.
GG may have not added much content wish, but it tried to lighten the fare of how this thread was going.
Shorter Aracana: BLAH BLAH BLAH It's just TOO HARD for the Devs BLAH BLAH BLAH. My comment. You: How dare you ignore Aracana's wall of text and just get down to the heart of it! Me: Shenanigans
GG is being just as childish as I am. Not 'lightening' the thread. Report me if you find this offensive
