Heh, that's segregated for entirely different reasons. The kind of thing you want is exactly what they're moving away from with moves like making the Silver Mantis TF available to everyone instead of just VGs.

Quote:Heh, close. In this case, it's seemingly underperforming, so first you boost it up to stupid level, then nerf the crap out of it.
Captain_Freak cheek is full of tongue:
you mean the dev team isnt gonna let it rot for 3 months then nerf the crap out of it for a year then actually fix it so its a semblance of fun?

Normal? Good LORD, who wants THAT???
Welcome, Danny, and feel free to release your "inner weirdo". You are on a board full of people that spend a lot of money and time to play with online virtual dolls, after all.

Quote:The game as a whole does, or they wouldn't still be there. As has been noted, NCSoft's not shy about such things.
Frosticus wonders:
Do you think if you asked an NCSoft exec if the EU servers have a "healthy population" they would say yes?
Really?
Hmmm...point taken.Quote:They might say that the game has paid for itself multiple times over and lacks the current projected interest for them to invest in a reformatting of the servers. In other words, they are just going to let the game ride. But that is a very different statement than you or I are making.
I guess my point is that you've taken it into your own head to decide what a "healthy population" is, and extrapolated scenarios in which that seems to be the most important part of whether people stay with the game. While you may have points, I don't see any evidence that either of those points are accurate, more in a matter of degree than of truth.Quote:But Decorum, a "healthy population" is not what we have, but it isn't that important anymore. -
Quote:And...?
TroyHickman says that like it's a bad thing:
But if we were using character names, I'd have to call myself Disturbing Grandma...

Quote:Well, it is a city half destroyed by an invasion and still periodically under attack from the same enemies, so I'm surprised there's any civilians left at all.
Xzero45 forgets where he is:
More NPC citizens and vehicles on the streets. This is a CITY, not a country neighborhood. Where are the traffic jams?
-
That sounds...odd. I don't recall it ever having me download more than one cumulative patch in the many reinstalls I've done.

Quote:**rolls over** Five more minutes, Mom...
Kitsune Knight sees the man behind the curtain:
Everyone has a unique writing style, the very nature of language and grammar guarantees that. Merriam Webster was just a tool of the Illuminati's Thought Retention & Eradication Division... all part of their Grand Conspiracy® (yes, they've really trademarked that... check the USPTO!) to keep the masses sleeping sheeple. WAKE UP PEOPLE! -
Quote:I always leave it open-ended because I'm used to constantly switching between conversations so I habitually check which line is open, and sometimes I want the line in local or team or even sometimes on our SG chat. I've mistelled so much in the past it means nothing to me anymore.
Kitsune Knight has a preference:
I'd suggest local for that situation... Using 'say' would suck if you're on Super Group, Coalition, or some random global channel... 'suck' for you, not the people that then get to make fun of you, that is.
-
Sure would make some of the "big sack of HP" enemies like Reichsman a bit easier and less tedious.
-
It's sooooo tedious, though. I'll make a round of southern IP and find maybe 3-4 bosses. It's usually one of the last ones left of my Defeats badges (which stinks, because my level 15 WW II army guy really needs that tommy gun).
-
Quote:HA! Well, yes, it's a bit odd, but only if you think of GR as "buy it and get this". It does have a future beyond what comes with it.
Lucky666 sees the odd wording:
lol something that isn't even being released with GR is a big selling feature? I hope I'm not the only one that this seems messed up to.
-
It's unlikely to be July, as we're almost halfway through that now. WITH GR is equally unlikely, as GR will be doing what they usually count on Double XP weekends to...get old players to revisit. My best guess would be fall sometime.

Quote:Well, you'll note I noted you never said you did.
Samuel_Tow missed me saying something:
I don't complain about slowness. Ever. I generally don't complain about anything on teams. I'll ask if we can't start without the people who will take 10 minutes to arrive if it looks like we'll manage, and I'll make sure we're not waiting around if the team feels like it isn't in any danger.
Right. I kind of figured that. The vehemence of your irritation here might make others wonder, though.Quote:If people have a problem with it or the team still isn't moving much, I will simply finish the mission and bow out. I don't hold it against people who don't want to play like I want to play, but I don't feel obligated to stay on their teams.
Rushing is a relative term. It means going faster than you or the other people want. If they want to wait, and you're hustling them up, then you are rushing. If you're moving at the same pace and everyone's cool with it, then you're not. Same with "falling behind".Quote:But again - it's not a question of rushing. I only consider it rushing if it's done at the expense of safety or performance, or if people are trying to do something else but are interrupted, such as exploring corners or chatting. But I simply will not stand for empty waiting when people are just standing in place and fidgeting for no reason other than because no-one has any initiative. That's not rushing in these cases. -
I might be mistaken, but I don't think that's that's technically the map from the tutorial, but rather a later mission (it's got a door in it into another section that's not on the tutorial map).
Wouldn't object to the heroside map being there, though. -
I don't want the game treating me as if I was as dumb as the AI, thanks. Someone taunting me isn't going to make me act stupid like it does the enemy PCs.
I can act stupid all on my own, thankyouverymuch!

The more you make available for tickets, the more you encourage exploit farming. Tickets should only be there to make up for the lack of drops you have in the AE.
-
Not would be...IS.
-
I do, too. No matter what server I'm playing on, I still have our SG global chat and Victory Badges activated. It's one of the purposes of having a global channel.
-
You do know that 100k is only "regular IO range" for 50ish, right? I'm assuming the temp powers are more for lowbies than for 50s. Why would you want to charge them so much?
-
Yeah, that's one of those "There's no real need to know that until you need to know that" things. That it's got Accuracy right in the name clouds the issue once the numbers are revealed.
-
Your'e running a contest. Can't you just make one of the rules "no Warburg nukes or Shivans or Heavies" and work on the honor system? Or are there a bunch of lowlives that would "cheat" in your contest?
-
Always great stuff, and to this day you can still "hear" the NPCs at the tram talking on their cells saying "Ascendant? No, I'm sorry, you must have the wrong number."
-
Different strokes, Sam. I'd probably want to quit a team you were rushing ahead or complaining about slowness (not that you've said you do that in-game, noted).
The goal of the team is that everyone have fun. Since there's so many different ways to have fun in this game, it's best if you get on teams with like mindsets. -
Quote:It's a joke, based on how Jamaicans pronounce "man" ("mon").
Rodoan doesn't get it:
I'm not certain where "Jamaican" comes from. There is a speech balloon directly in front of the shop name on page 25. It would seem to me that its Troy's own "comMON GROUNDS" with the first three letters blocked by the speech balloon.
