Well, more jobs over here, but SOPA is (IIRC) worded so that no matter where the site is located, it can be taken down with no due process (ie going through the courts)
Well the problem with that is... Many counteries would consider that info terrorism. -
On the onehand SOPA is crazy bad.
On the other hand if it passes maybe all the internet companies will move to Europe, which will mean a lot more IT jobs... -
Quote:And the second part of my post, when we report bugs over and over again in the Beta forums, major game breaking ones at that, and they still push it live complete with bugs?Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
Because an aesthetic bug is not a game breaking bug, and there are often bigger issues afoot for them to push a patch live.
Trust me, people think that I hate everything because of how critical I am of things--but we need to put criticism to a useful purpose. And griping that a Female-only costume set is being released without male bits is just wasting time.
The time to gripe, and when I did so, was when they first pitched it and I said, "Don't make Female-only costume sets." At this point, the best thing to do is not buy it. -

That's not true. And I say that as someone who is largely done with beta testing considering how certain things have gone down in the past.
We owe an awful lot of innovations and tweaks to this game to the playerbase. While railing against a bad choice that the devs have made may feel good, there isn't much point in throwing hyperbole around when they've already stated their decision. And I say that as someone who has been complaining about costumes for a while, too.
So why do costume packs get pushed live without fixes? Both to requested things such as 'please stop pretinting' or to bugs 'hey the collar clips through the models head'?
Why do major bugs make it live when they are reported time and time again in beta? -
Its pretty much par for course.
All the devs want from the feedback threads is a pat on the back.
Hell thats all they want in the bug report threads too. -
Am I the only one amused by 'Black Terror and Tim'?
-
i'd like it to change so that if we felt like farming tips and doing missions, we could go from Hero to villain in one go/day, or vice versa.
Keep the merit rewards on a timer though, but don't say 'it'll take you four days unless you cough up cash'. -

Those are the generaly accepted time periods. -
A lot of golden age comic book designs, look they are made of real materials. Sometimes done in primary colours, but usually they look like 'yeah I could see that actually being worn'.

Frankly, I don't see how what I bolded above is any more "comic book" than the Imperial Dynasty costume set. To be fair, I'm not even sure what "comic book" means whenever this argument is brought up against certain costume sets.
Golden Age/WW2? Massive boom in comic books during that time, never read the really old stuff? Heck never seen the Watchmen?
Detective? Detective comics 'nuff said.
The rest are way out there.
That said I think this set kinda missed the ideal Chinease new year, release date maybe. -
Quote:No it's the valykrie sword, they straightend the blade a bit, and extened the handguard.Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
Not even close.
Maybe you're thinking of the Organic Sword?
Regardless, it is quite unique among the swords, with that peacock hilt.
I'm not much of a fan of the black engraving on the blade (I'd probably prefer a smooth blade), but whatever... I find it to be a cool design and am interested to see it in game!
Just cut away the excess metal from the wings on the handguard of the valkyrie sword. -
Like the dynasty warriors set.
Love the pocket D stuff.
But that sword... isn't that just the Valykryie sword but some one has chisled some of the hand guard off? -

Actually, they've made a number of significant concessions already. It's just that certain things like "don't actually implement them" are off the table.
They were made prior to them going on test, as we've already been told, by the time something goes on test it is too late to change anything, they are already working on the next project.
Hell they don't even bother to fix the bugs that we report, and send it live as is. -
Well seeing as nothing we ever do in beta/testing is ever even looked at by the devs, I guess they've decided, to just go ahead with the idea and screw any of us who have issues with the idea.
-
Well good luck, I wish you well. Though I honestly can't see why anyone of your intelligence and skill set would ever want to live in China.

Except that a live publish inevitably brings more traffic to the forums, as folks want to see the patch notes and have discussions and stuff... So having a forum downtime at the same time would only serve to piss off a lot of folks.

Nah not for Paragon Studios, we don't get patch notes for at least five hours after the servers pop back up, maybe a day or two if they feel extra lazy. -
Budget wise I set myself around £10 a week 'wasteful fun money' that I use on DLC, MOBA shops and MMO shops. Occasionally I purchase paragon points with it.
If the super packs contain exclusive costumes that I have to gamble to get, that fun money will never be spent on anything NCsoft related again, purely on prinicipal alone. -

Yeah and I still hate you for managing to be quick enough to grab it early *shakes fist* even if it was all bugged to hell and back when you got it.
Oh yes, it had some sweet bugs, like jumping forward with the weapon drawn made my little girl grunt like a big beefy man.
That was a fun one. -

Whilst I'm pretty sure there's clauses in their Terms of Service (or name of their choice) to allow them these powers, it would be a very poor business decision to use these powers on 12 people that just happened to buy the item before it was taken off the shelves again.
It'd be a community relations nightmare to handle once news got out, and they'd have to spend more time and effort to put it right with the community to avoid losing faith.
Much easier to just let those 12 keep it, and possibly offer an 'upgrade' to the fixed version at a later time.
It updated for me at least once before it was offically put on sale. -

Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying here.
A Premium player can buy a Super Pack, open it to find a Brute ATIO, then put that ATIO in their Brute without requiring a license or VIPitude.
Edit: I'll back off on this, actually. I believe it to be true, but I can't find the redname post I swear I remember reading stating as much.
While you're right about that, what if they get an ATE for an AT thay don't have access to? -
All I want is that if I the male gets one type of concept that the female gets the same concept, Cowboy and Cowgirl, not Cowboy and Prossie, retro space suit and retro spacesuit, not retro spacesuit and Mamerella alien queen of the planet Stripton Five.
If the female model gets some 'sexy' extra's that's fine as long as it gets the none sexy items to fufil the same concept as the male model.
