My complaint wasn't with the limitation itself, more the fact that they're not at all clear about it, instead choosing to drape it in confusing world immersion details. It would be like if the game said "For some mysterious reason other heroes can't hear you" when you try to send a tell from a trial account (I am, of course, assuming that the game is more clear than that).
I wasn't aware the trial accounts were pestering you about subscribing. It's been quite a while since my trial (over 4 years), but I don't remember it doing that back then. It's kinda sad. -
His sig wasn't edited, his post was. The thread has been pruned, from what I can tell quite a bit.

But when i click on the screens near the holograms it says cant reach them from here and I am standing right next to them. How do I search for missions? Thanks... -

Quote:As far as I know it was just a convenient keyword that obscured the true purpose of the mission while allowing farmers to easily find farms. Meow farms were just maps full of Comm Officers.Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
Ok, this has been bugging me for a while now. I was away from the game when the AE was released so I missed these. Can someone tell me why they were called meow farms?
Thanks

Quote:Yes, I was just made aware of this last night. Regardless, the system is clearly causing issues, given how many threads people are starting over it.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
Exactly. If somebody REALLY doesn't want to see the comments either, they can just hit the (-) on that section:
It should stay closed every time you visit your CP. -

And... I guess it's already been changed. Okay. Carry on. -
Ironically, this sad little exchange only proves my point.

You can use the /maxinactivefps command ingame to throttle the FPS of the game while it's not in focus. If you're looking for a "not ingame" performance boost that may help, depending on your whole situation, system, etc.

Quote:Realistically I tend to agree (maybe eventually if it gets to be a big enough problem, but not so soon), but my main issue was with your first statement of "function" which is only inaccurate in just about every single way.Originally Posted by Emberly
Certainly didn't mean to imply it had no negative effects, just that despite those effects it's not likely to go anywhere. Hope that helps clear up the difficulty you had understanding my post.

Quote:Like a couple others have said, the door needs to be entirely underground. The difficulty with that, of course, is that you can't see it. The coordinates Mr_Samoa posted a few posts up are where at least one such door is (again, you won't be able to see the door, but you can see the recessed area where it looks like a door would be).Originally Posted by skittledude2
I have tried to get to matrix 3 times, and every time i log back in after i'm next to the doors, i just get stuck half way in the ground. I don't fall through, as ppl are saying you do. Any Help?

Quote:I just wanted to comment on this since a new player likely doesn't know what this term means. If your character name ingame is reported and a GM agrees, that charater will be "genericed", i.e. their name will be changed to "Generic Hero 0274558" or some combination of numbers. A GM will contact you and allow you to submit a short list of alternative names.Originally Posted by Finduilas
I don't know about "ganging up", but if you use that name in the game, the chances are very high that you will be reported and your character's name genericed.
If you're okay with that, carry on.
If you use your forum handle ingame, yeah, expect this to happen very quickly. -
Quote:Right, because the forum is absolutely not already being cluttered with posts about 1) Rep farming, 2) Complaining about negative rep, and 3) Complaining about this pointless system in general. It's an important outlet with no negative consequences whatsoever.Originally Posted by Emberly
I have a feeling the rep system will remain in effect and also remain anonymous. Why? Because it serves a couple different functions: 1. It allows for people to get their yayas out on you without cluttering the forums

We ran one last night. It was full of lulz.
But I don't see any reason why they couldn't be successful with one person who knows what they're doing running it.
But to be honest, I've done the blueside Hami Raid several times now. What I want to do is a redside Hami Raid. They're running them regularly on Protector, why not here? -
Another improvement would be not loading the entirety of the loot database before the user has even put in a search for something. I get that it cuts down on search time if you filter rather than actually search, but it makes the Market extremely laggy and difficult to use. When I step off the ferry in Cap and find myself faced with the Black Market I get hit with lag like nowhere else in the game, except maybe the ITF. It needs to be fixed.

Hey board mods! Disable this garbage please. -
Quote:That's a Spider-Man tradition though. So often in the cartoons and even the old comics you'd see him swinging on his web when it very clearly cannot possibly be attached to anything. Besides, it's pretty much impossible to do a Spider-Man game without that conceit.Originally Posted by Prof_Backfire
They tried swinging from what I hear, it looked stupid and was basically reskinned Flight so they scrapped it. Imagine swinging across the ocean. It's like the older Spider-man games where Spidey swang from an invisible ceiling everywhere.

Quote:I didn't spend 8 damn years trying to get a Bachelor's degree just to work as a frigging security guard.

I only recently got my pharmacy technician certification... Until about 4 months ago, I = 22yo living on parents couch, partying every night, rolling on the weekends, and unemployed.
Now I = 22yo living in an apartment, partying every night, rolling on the weekends, and employed.
Pharmacy Technicians are needed all over. Get certified and you should have no trouble getting a job even with no experience. Just be willing to do it. Also, you can't have any felonies or drug related arrests... That's a no-no when it comes to handling oxys and adderal and it might stop you from getting certified. It isn't even expensive, man... Just do it.
Are you are looking for a cheesy job? Getting a little piece of paper saying that you are certified from some idiots who don't know what they are doing can raise your pay by a bunch.
You can always go to school and get somewhere with that if you want to get student loans and work on your free time.
Being a Security Guard is pretty easy to get, too. Sometimes they don't even give you a gun. And that rocks. You'll just be a mall cop who does school work while drinking coffee. Don't get me wrong, I hate cops, but I have no problem being a security guard. That **** is much easier. It's usually minimum wage, but after a while you'll figure out the ins and outs of all the cameras and security systems and you'll devise a plan to get away with theft of expensive merchandise and be able to get away with it because you'll have planned it out over a period of a couple months.
That's one of my reoccurring daydreams I keep having. -
Yet another reason to abolish the rep system.

Quote:Technically, that already exists. Not exactly the same as what you're suggesting, except that it has a story behind it, and according to the lore it runs beneath Steel Canyon (no zone connection though).Originally Posted by Grift
First. Expand the sewers. Don't just take the same map and repopulate it with higher level mobs. I'm talking something that would have a bit of story behind it. But the end result would be expanding the sewers into the higher level zones. Stash some secret labs down there and the like. One part that came to mind was a long draw out tunnel running between an area like Steel Canyon and Croatoa.
It would be nice to see a little more bulk to mid-game though, something a bit more interesting than "random normal guy hanging out on a street corner is your contact".
