    I fought Shivans to help aid others.

    I helped a fellow hero, Blue Spectrum survive and continue his fight.

    I fought more Shivans to help clear the teleportation beacon for myself and others.

    Then this huge Giant Shivan appears and knocks me and everyone on our ***! It takes me and the other heroes in the immediate area to beat it down. So cool.

    It was awesome. Perhaps your attitude is YOUR problem.
  4. I love the new tutorial. It's so much better than the old one. Dar I even use the word 'EPIC.'

    Yes, I will. The new tutorial has a nice epic feel to it. Makes me feel very heroic.

    Secondarily, the proper staffing levels to support an HA environment. I don't claim to know how many people Paragon and NCWest have on staff to support their game(s). But I'd find it damnably difficult to believe their development staff can run on a five-nines basis with appropriate staffing levels 24x7x52.

    Now if you want to go ahead and pony up a half billion or so REAL dollars, and keep doing it every year, I'm sure Paragon and NCSoft would LOVE to go to an HA format for the game. Then they can actually put the staff on to support that kind of thing.

    Until then, reality shows its ugly face.

  6. Woohoo, more unexpected downtime. Blah.

    It's disappointing to have such a fantastic amount of content in this update but have it depreciated due to the instability and unexpected downtime of 4 hours on a Saturday.

    I'm happy they are taking the time to fix it so the majority of the weekend is more stable but I'm disappointed it came to this in the first place.

    To repeat, happy they are being patched...not happy that it is during the middle of the day on Saturday.

    Back to football.

    End Game Content

    One thing I've noticed is that there's only 50 character levels, for an MMO that's 7 years old that's.... not very much

    So, considering the max level is so low, what's the end game content like and how long will it keep you busy for? As it's one area almost every past MMORPG I have played has let me down in.
    I suggest you play the game more and experience it for yourself. Some people enjoy re-rolling as end game. Some people enjoy badging. Some enjoy the Incarnate Trials and TFs. Some of these people are one in the same.

    And a rip off for me. Also, your mindset is hardly as valid. Pfffft.

    But I already have to save up my point for powersets? So which is it?




    EDIT: I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with the overall argument. I just wanted to kill some time. So nyah.

    I play on one server. The other 15 servers are irrelevant to me. Just giving you the mindset of a paying customer.

    Possibly, but it let me keep the same password when I couldn't log into the forums.

    TopDoc sent me this to post here. He's not been banned, but he IS one of the folks who have been hit by the can't-log-into-the-forum bug. And he writes:

    So, let us just relax, hang loose, and see where this goes.

    By the way, I received this email around 45 minutes ago. Posted as soon as I could.

    -B
    Tell him to just go to the main NC site, and change his password (you can even change it to the same password). Then he should have forum access.

    Truth be told, I don't play with the sound on.
  15. C'mon you two. Are you seriously not picking up the joke?
  16. I'll definitely be seeing this in theaters. I love this movie.

    True, but it shows their blood could be infected by a virus type 'thing.'

    You must be new to special effects.

    I did just that. I also did Twinshot's arc, and a couple others I cannot remember their names. I'm pretty sure I've completed all the new arcs.

    I really enjoyed all the new mission mechanics used! Very cool and very up to date. Nicely done Paragon Studios.

    I'm hoping tonight to try out the Sewer Trial if I don't get distracted with FOOOOTBAAAAAAL!

    It's either that or powers that cause confuse... I'm not right sure. But that's where I'd start looking.
    Steamy Mist does offer confuse protection but I didn't see anything in Cold (arctic Fog does not).
  21. What other powers besides Tactics and Clear Mind (clarity too?) help with Confuse?
  22. I only bought some enhancement unslotters. I'm not really that interested in BR right now, nor SJ. Time Manipulation is enough to keep me occupied along with my current 50s.

    The vampires in Blade 2 are infected with a virus type thing that makes them into Zombie Vampires. Not saying that's proof or anything, just adding to the converation.
