    ....Yes, well, um...
    Uh....

  2. I know I'm necroing here, but this was an amusing thread to re-read now that CM and the like have been changed to be AoE, and (as far as I know) did not receive extra long recharges or bigger endurance costs.

    Plus maybe this thread will break up the "omg the game is ending!" threads a little bit

    It's cool. I'll probably only have time to really play the two sets I had points for, anyway.

    Then when the box gets to your home, just open it up, get the code, go to your account page at NCSoft and apply that code to re-activate VIP.

    That's what I did. Worked a treat. And was cheap too. ($6.75 for my copy of Going Rogue Complete edition)
    Good info, but still won't work on power sets that need to be paid for.

    Well, that's definitely a valid point, but it hinges on the game not being shut down. What are the odds of that? I haven't heard any thing that says there's even a 1% chance of survival. I didn't even realize any one was considering it.

    Well, ok then - if you don't want what you posted.
    It's good to know, and I might look into it. But I still don't think going on to Beta should be required for accessing this content.

    I mean, let us pay for it, or give us access to it. Don't cut off our access completely.

    Wait, I'm confused. Are people taking "give us everything" to mean all IOs and stuff like that? I mean just access to content, not free levels and powers and stuff. I don't see that messing up the game economy?

    Maybe I'm too tired...

    Are you referring to power sets, Incarnate content, all that good stuff?

    Either way, I guess I'm not interested in the Beta server, just because of having no experience with it.
  9. This isn't a suggestion, and although I doubt I'm the first to bring it up, I want to say what's on my mind.

    I know some people are mad they spent money on stuff they'll hardly have time to use, but some of us are mad that we CAN'T spend our money to get the stuff we want to try out before the end. Now that they've made it so we can't buy any thing, what's the harm in letting us access the stuff we don't have?

    As an example, my brother had paid to play for a few years. Even paid for a bit after it went free to play. Now, he can't play his Beam Rifle/Time Control corruptor. Time Control is free to VIPs, but he wasn't VIP when the store got closed, so he can't access that character. Can't buy the set, can't resub for two months. What kind of crap is that?

    I used the last of my store points on Staff Melee and Water Blast. I can't get anything else. I wanted to play Titan Weapons and Street Justice, and now I never can. And that's just two examples. What about loyal players who were taking a break? They can't access Incarnate content, Inventions, power sets, possibly entire ATs, and probably a bunch of other stuff I can't think of.

    It's just so frustrating. I understand if the game needs to be shut down. It sucks, but that's that. But now some of use can't even access the whole game, just because of our account status at the time they decided to pull the plug. That's what really makes me mad.
  10. Well, that makes sense. I still think it's annoying how it doesn't really explain that, but at least I got it so what ever.
  11. I must be missing some thing. I thought VIP players could use all of their characters, but all of mine except the ones I paid to unlock while I wasn't subscribed are locked.

    What's the issue? If I unlock them will it use up one of my unlocks that I paid for?

    EDIT: Never mind, I took the chance and just unlocked some. Apparently it's just making me choose which ones to unlock since I have more than 12? Although it looks like I still have enough spaces available, due to veteran rewards and such, to have all of my characters unlocked...

    Either the way this works is really dumb or I'm totally missing some thing.

    Which one is the Lagacy Chain mission? It sounds interesting.
  13. I have a double bind on my Warshade. One button selects the nearest enemy corpse, the other activates Unchain Essence. But I have no idea what the text I put in was. :/

    I already do this, but when the seven other people on my team are all friends from global channels it's hard to keep track of who is who. I don't want to keep referring to them by their character name or having to check globals all the time.
  15. Obviously it would be optional. I'm in a couple of global channels and there's quite a number of people I play with often. But I hardly ever know who's actually on the team with me because most people's character names don't give away their global, and it's too annoying to check their globals and memorize who's who. It would be a lot easier to communicate, at least.

    So, I would love an option for the game to display every one's global names instead of their character names.

    They're not really temporary now since you can easily get them off of the Market.

    The FX in this game appear to have been designed as if the initiating character is the only thing on the screen. This is so far from wrong it would take the light from wrong 2.3 years to reach it. FX need to be designed as if there are fifty characters on the screen all blazing away, because that's usually the case. As it currently stands, once there's more than 10 characters (counting mobs) on screen and fighting the game quickly turns into a Michael Bay movie where you can't see anything but FX.
    This post makes me wish they hadn't killed the rep system.

    The worst thing to me is the Destiny bubbles. Mostly because 90% of the time I see them are on the Leagues, so a lot of the time they're covering 24 heroes. It makes my screen nothing more than a giant mass of bubbles. Yeah, they look cool, but I enjoy being able to see the REST of the game too.
  18. Do you get a pop-up message when your tickets are full? That would solve the problem of not realizing you're at 9999, too. They have it for recipes, inspirations, salvage and enhancements already any way. Why not add it for tickets?
  19. I would go one step beyond this suggestion and fire (out of a cannon. into the sun) who ever implemented this bologna in the first place. Nothing in this game has made me more depressed than spending time on a trial, killing every thing I can and helping my team out as much as possible, just for the game to tell me I didn't do good enough. It's like the game is saying "Remember all that stuff you did? Well we decided you're a leech. Enjoy your crappy reward."

    Honestly, I wouldn't even care if the 10 threads was a possible reward, as long as it was just random. But for it to be what I get when the game says my actions didn't count is a slap in the face and should not be allowed.
  20. I would much rather run the risk of an occasional leecher getting a good reward than have to worry about meeting the game's criteria for "participating" in order to get a good reward.

    It's for those lucky bastards who manage to dodge your first nuke, obviously!

    Also, you can view power stats for [Nothing] in the game. It's an incarnate ability that doesn't do any thing to up to 20 targets! Or 16, I forget.

    Annoying Players

    This is a different kind of annoying, but I hate the people who color their large bubbles in such a way that it's basically impossible to see through. Like dark purple sonic dispersion. I also hate all of the people on the team (including myself) who don't say "Hey dork change your bubble color so I can see who I'm shooting!"

    It STILL isn't done. And now I have to download Issue 19 before I can play, too!

    GAH
  24. I know, right?! It's like, well yeah now I have stamina at level 2 so I can keep sprint and ninja run going and spam fireball like a mad man. WHY AM I RUNNING OUT OF ENDURANCE?!
