A server that's had the power disconnected, been disassembled, had the parts melted down and buried in several cubic yards of highly irradiated concrete is "nigh impenetrable". -

Will the "Rocket Board" have multiple 3D models/animations to choose from like guns or claws? Seems to be there could be all kinds of versions of this... rocket board, magic carpet or in terms of characters we know... cosmic surfboard, fantasticar, goblin glider whatever, MANY possibilities.
Oh wait, I see what you mean. -
Quote:The civil liberties thing was dumb, but I stand by "I retract all my comments" since I never commented on that specifically in the first place.Originally Posted by Friggin_Taser
Edit: Though, if Westley was right, what civil liberties are MARTy trampling on?
Seems like MARTy is precisely the kind of monitoring they were talking about in the EULA. Monitoring is one thing, throttling is quite another. I'd be fine if it were just in AE, which never should have had rewards to begin with, but I really don't buy the argument that this will only affect people who "solo every AV in the game simultaneously" (who even does this?), and I especially don't buy that it will somehow be completely flawless and not ever throttle completely innocent people. -
The saddest thing about this post is not just that you found it necessary to provide context for "party like it's 1999", but also the fact that you were right to do so.
I'm getting so old.

In light of the the news about MARTy I retract all of my comments in this thread.
You were right, Westley. -

Yes I fully expect there will be people attempting to be the first "Exalted native" to hit 50. Since it only takes like 20 or 30 hours to do it in the AE farms I figure that'll happen within about a day of Exalted going live.

This thread was at 10 pages before I left for work this morning. It is now at 16 pages.

Quote:Yes but "Squiggy" is like 10000x funnier as a name than all of the rest combined.Originally Posted by Texas Justice
Arnold was the original owner of Arnold's. Played by Pat Morita, of Karate Kid fame.
Mr. and Mrs. C are funny. Melvin Belvin is a bit funny. Leather Tuscadero is at least as funny as Pinky Tuscadero.
And all of those made more appearances in the show than Lenny and Squiggy. They were only in one episode (Fonzie's Funeral: Part 2). -
Well sure, but none of those are funny (and wasn't Arnold the Big Al that JazMan used?). Well, maybe Moose, but that's too generic, that could just come off as a randomly insult.

Quote:To be fair, I didn't see any mention of this new EULA until Friday when someone posted about it in Player Questions. If I were prone to ragequitting over such things (or, indeed, at all), my timing probably would have been the same as Westley's (and I haven't been playing that much lately either, mostly due to burnout).Originally Posted by Friggin_Taser
Here's the thing I'm wondering: how long has Westley been crafting this latest I'm RageQuitting thread.
Think about it: he hasn't played in months. When I posted on Unleashed before I learned better he barely talked about the game except to complain. News of the new EULA has been out since just before September 1st yet it took 10+ days for this thread to start.
How long was he planning just the right things to say? Obviously, not long enough since he misused the words "civil liberties" so mightily. How long was he planning just the right time to post it? The Sunday morning, guaranteeing him a full day of it being live, just days before he can continue having an account? Perfect!
The sad thing is I think Westley spent more time fuming and ranting and constructing this original post than any NC Soft lawyer did preparing the new EULA. And for what? For him to return and rage quit over something equally stupid two months down the line? -

People who want this game to succeed should carefully consider what they say on this matter, rather than simply bark at people who complain. You do more damage than any of the people who indifferent. If all you want playing the game are a bunch of f2p herpa derps, then consider this issue seriously without just dismissing it as paranoia I-have-nothing-to-hide bullcrap that's infected this country for the last 10 years. Yes I just went there.
I've read the part of the EULA about monitoring computer components and the scope is too wide and the purpose not made clear. These two things, in my opinion, need tweaking. Why? Because it protects us from fat sweaty nerd at ncsoft looking at stuff about us that they have no business doing. Or at least that's the potential, and while it may not be important to you, it's important to some people, because they actually care about their rights big and small.
By making it clear why they need monitoring, and putting language in the EULA that limits the scope to the game software and processes that they know can enable or aid in cheating, in no uncertain terms, they can provide a protection for us, so that fat sweaty nerd can't hide behind blanket EULA statements, in the unlikely event that someone at ncsoft is found to have abused their monitoring power in any way.
Get behind this or get out of the way, that's my opinion, and I care about this game's future. Do you?Quote:NCsoft has the right, but no obligation, to monitor operation of any service, content or software at any time and in any matter, including but not limited to monitoring communications and communications interfaces, storage devices, random access memory or CPU processes related to hardware you use with the game. Such monitoring may also include, but is not limited to, monitoring for the purposes of detecting software under section 8(c) or 8(e). BOY THAT SURE IS UNCLEARQuote:(c) Use, or provide others with, any software related to the Game, including any automation software (a.k.a. "bot") or software designed to change or modify operation of the Game; (d) Use, or provide others with, any "hack," "cheat," "exploit" or "mod"; (e) Use, or provide others with, any service related to the Game, including but not limited to: (i) any service that interacts with the Software; or (ii) any service that that would change characteristics related to a Character ID, such as increasing the level of a character (a.k.a. power-leveling);
Come on man, don't claim to read something when it's blatantly clear that you haven't.
We're not dismissing complaints because we're all wearing rose-colored glasses and have our noses stuck up the devs' rear ends, we're dismissing complaints because they are silly and this EULA isn't any different than any other EULA out there. -

That thing you're worried about NCSoft finding on your computer? Don't worry dude. The FBI probably already knows about it, and NCSoft doesn't care. They're not the ones you need to be afraid of. Did I just hear a knock at your door?

Exactly, Joanie, you don't know what's coming. Although it would make very good sense to have events for new players on regular servers, you've written them off...haven't you, Pinky Tuscadero? Now you change your tune from certainty to maybe they will do something special. Back-pedal much, Big Al?

Hate to be a wet blanket, but how would you make it look like they're windows with things outside them instead of trompe l'oiel paintings? Sure, they'd look great when you look straight at them, but approach them at an angle and there would be no perspective when looking at the things "outside."
