Black Zot

Plenty of you have full grasp of reality, but the stereotype sticks because you have a fair number of loud voices validating said stereotype. The brush has a genuine target, its stroke is just too broad.

This probably comes as news to you, but the majority of the human race does not have anywhere near the combined level of reflexes, manual dexterity, and awareness needed to do well at twitch games. They may have one or another individually, but the average person will never be that fast, that accurate, AND that good at registering exactly what's going on around them - no matter how much practice they get.

So yeah, you can count yourself lucky that you happen to be among the gifted handful that can snap off a headshot on cue. But if you want that game of yours to actually be populated enough to be worth playing ... something's gotta give.

Dunno about Wikipedia. They tend to be Nazis when it comes to notability and references. A "Save CoH Movement" page wouldn't last long. You'd be doing well to get it referenced on the main CoH article.

I've talked with some folks who were playing Cryptic games around the time their CS department got folded into PWE's system.

General sentiment is the service quality took a nosedive under PWE.

And then NCSoft will smack it down with a C&D.




This fight was over before we knew it had started. The lord-high-muck-a-mucks made their decision, and we never got a say on it.

There's nothing left to give up on.

We'll see how long that lasts against the Great American Moral Crusade(TM). They've already overturned decisions to legalize stuff conservatives don't like in several states.

Apparently so, given that they're pulling in enough advertising dollars to keep the station running.

/shrug

We are. Mainly because that means STO's content development will at least be moving up from "zero" to "token effort".

Different base of operations, same MO. Thanks for nitpicking, but I stand by what I said. PWE is nearly identical to NCSoft in every aspect that matters.

This is a barefaced lie. Between timegating and the piddling reward for any given daily, weeks is the minimum timeframe for anything of value to become accessible.

Because trading one interchangeable daily for another counts as variety. /sarcasm

Again, a straight-up lie. The dailies have nothing whatsoever to do with the rest of the game other than the fact that every expansion-relevant PvE vendor is gated behind them. You can't fill out your professions or spend your valor without spending hours a day, every day, for several weeks straight on pure busywork. Unless you're a pure PvPer, your gameplay experience is gimped until that grind is done.

Rep dailies are a pure grind. They're not "playing the game". They're the crap you have to get through in order to play the game.

More to the point, Valor Points are worthless regardless of source unless you do those dailies.

Every single Valor Point item in MoP is gated behind Pandaria faction reputations - to be able to spend them, you HAVE to spend weeks (literally) grinding out the various faction reps first.

Imagine the entire Incarnate system being gated behind your character clearing 300 iterations of the Midnighter arc, and you get the idea.
