  4. I can't get behind this. It would be annoying to have the music play all the time. And many players play with the sound off, so they'd never notice the new resources that NCSoft paid for

    They've been shown to dimension hop and time travel. That's right, they're ALL the real Nemesis

    Not that Praetorian Steve is evil, but that he's smarter than his Primal counterpart.
    He's not smarter, and he is evil

And NBC can use any of the characters they like even though only one person is getting the prize. Sounds to me like they are trying to get a season or two worth of creativity for less than they would pay a regular writer to come up with a few concepts.

    Their next contest will probably be "Write a script and win an autographed picture of Summer."
    I think writing a script to get an autographed picture of Summer Glau is a good deal

  9. No, they never added it. Maybe in the future, but not now

    Flashforward?

    Red Winged Blackbirds are daytime birds and don't see well at night. They got startled by New Years celebrations world wide, flew into stuff, and died. Yawn

    Fish die off by the billions each year due to unexplained causes too. It's never the end of the world. We'll die out before the birds and fish do

    Dude, the interactions are the most complex part of the whole deal. We are all in agreement that you 1) have no idea what you're talking about, and 2) you're too stubborn to even try to think about where you might be in error.

    Truth is truth, and you're completely missing it

    You would still need a more complex steering system. Because a larger ship can not speed up, slow down, or turn as quickly as a smaller ship due to the greatly increased mass. These things do not work like you believe they do

    And if you're the code expert, why exactly would it be so difficult to revert the changes that were made? Don't developers save the code from previous versions of the game, including pvp formats? Please do share your expertise with us.
    Why would they revert PvP to a version that about 1000 players played? Those that left won't be coming back. If you decided to stay when they left, that PvP isn't coming back either. Get used to it
  18. Maybe we can finally get around to portraying super powered beings as fairly stable folks again. Instead of the trembling, gristly bag of neuroses they've been written as since about 1982 or there abouts

    Give me my kind and caring Doctor Strange back, you hacks! He doesn't have to be petty and arrogant to kick mystical ***!

It makes it take longer to clean, repair, traverse, or whatever on a 1 to 1 basis but on a 1 to 100 basis it makes it much much simpler and easier because even with redundant systems on the large one it is still a lot fewer than the 100 small ones.


    As far as the Vulcan thing...How can you argue that all the Vulcans were on Vulcan. Vulcans are logical, they'd have had a secondary and tertiary colony at the very least because it is logical to get your species off a singular planet for just such an occurrence as the planet blows up.
    Why do keep up the fallacy that a larger ship/engine is going to be made of oversized parts? The chances are that the larger ship/engine will be made of parts that are the same size as those used in the smaller examples, just lots and lots more of them. Larger does = More Complex = Easier to Break. Just google 'engines' and 'repair' if you don't believe me

    DC is sitting on a potential gold mine with the character.

    Too bad that Marvel has a hammerlock on the rights to publish a book titled Captain Marvel, eh?
    Shazam!

For all you know, fixing PvP could be a huge blessing and bring back a ton of players or it could just stay the same way it is not. With ever Issue comes new content that could have the potential to be a bust, so the developers are taking a gamble with just about everything they publish.
    500 players, tops, is in no way a "ton". Get over it, son

    My toon's super powers are fictional? That can't be true! I've been using those powers for years!

    And it's true that some powers just didn't work well for pvp, but the answer to that problem is to address those individual powers as they make themselves known, rather than simply changing how all powers (and how even entire at's) work, making pve look completely unlike pve.

    And if you fix up a 'condemned house' you can make it liveable and enjoyable for a lot of customers, with pretty minimal effort.

    I like the guy's point who posted about making pvp io's drop more often than I win lamborghinis in the real world.

    PVP is only a mess because the devs in charge recently have completely screwed up. Of course there are a lot of customers who dont like pvp, so they're fine with it, but there are a lot of customers who enjoy that aspect of gaming, so to completely sweep it under the rug is a mistake, imo, especially when it really wouldn't take much to improve the situation.

    also: standard code rant is till in effect. easy my hairy behind
