  1. Ah, yes, that was what I remembered. Thanks, Rod.

    Hmmmm...guess I was mistakenly thinking of the entry to Cimerora level (35), although I was really asking if you were doing "only 50s" like many do (moot point, of course, as all I have in range is 50s).

    I've been in there. There's nothing inside.

    All I wanted was one jelly donut!!

    Is this a Master of...? Are you level restricting at all? I've got three 50s (INV/EM tank, NRG/NRG blaster and DM/WP scrapper) but my next one down's a 41. If you don't have time to answer here, I'll just check in in the morning in-game.

    Guitardrumr takes it in:

    Well, we'll have to agree to disagree on the whole customer paying the salary thing. You being a stubborn West sider and all, I won't be able to make you agree with me anyway.
    Oh, certainly not. I've worked far too many customer service jobs dealing with people who've had it drilled into their head that they're "always right" and that they "pay my salary". Neither of which is true.

    West sider? I'm on the west side of Michigan. Are you a 'Gander, too? (ah, I see it now. River Rouge? **hands Guitar the noseplugs**)

    As far as the robes go, if it won't work right and cause clipping issues, then by all means, say no. Quite enough of that with capes/hats/hoods/belts, no need to add more. I would dearly love to see it though (long time Fantasy fan, would love to build a Raisltin-esque toon).
    Yeah, I have several character that could us long robes, and several females that would love a long skirt, but....sigh. Well, here's hoping someone has a breakthrough or something.
  7. Actually, there's a way through the SG pillar, unless they fixed it. At least there was for other Ouro stuff.

    I don't mean to come off as feeling entitled, but in this instance, yeah, we kinda do pay his salary.
    Not really. You have to stretch. We certainly don't do it with any directness. Jay doesn't even work directly for the people we pay, there's a whole 'nuther sub-company in the way. Hell, I don't consider us paying McDonald's employees salaries, and that's far more direct.

    With no players, there is no NCsoft, and Paragon Studios is left up a certain metaphorical creek with no paddle and a leaky canoe.
    Businesses without customers aren't businesses, they're failures. Really, it's a silly extension of American entitlement. "I utilized your product, so I'm paying your salaries." It doesn't work that way.

    I'm not saying we should be able to boss him around, but for someone to say "No, I don't like that so I won't do it', when he's got the people who pay to play the game asking for it, qualifies as stupid.
    Which is a good thing he didn't. You're taking someone's second- or third-hand off-hand mention as a quote. BUT, even if he did, this is obviously what NCSoft/Paragon WANTS him to do. If he does it, and he doesn't get fired or reprimanded, then it's WAI. Companies make policy, not customers. Companies do listen to customers, but not blindly and with a whole lot more information than customers have.

    That said, if it is just a matter of not being able to work out the animations without massive clipping issues, that's perfectly fine. I have no issue with that. God knows there's enough of that already, no need to try and add something that won't work anyway.
    Right. I prefer someone in that area who's a bit anal and kind of a fussbudget.

    Really? Because Victory seems about the same to me. But then, I'm judging mostly by how easy it is to find a team on Victory Badges, not by what I'm seeing in the streets (a completely misleading indicator).

    Best Finale Map?

    Olantern gives the caveat:

    Be warned, though, that one of the answers you'll get is that you're incompetent for wanting to use a special map for a finale.
    Which is, of course, an incompetent critique in and of itself.

    No. Paragon Studios pays his salary. We pay NCSoft to play the game. Those are different things. People who use a business don't "pay the employees salaries" no matter how entitled they feel. I always hated the concept people have that patronizing a business somehow puts them in charge.

    I doubt Jay hates the look in general (or rather, if he does, it's irrelevant), but the way it looks when he has to implement it under the current system. He's not saying "I hate that look.", he's saying "I can't get that look to look good under the restrictions we have here."
  15. It says 241, although I pay it no attention.

    I still think they ought to shut it off. No good will come of it, only tears.
  16. I think I may have only deleted about a half a dozen characters in my four years, and really none but a handful of "try outs" that I later remade in Victory in about three of those years.. So right from the start, I'm intending to keep everyone.
  17. Ah, missed that. Interesting then. I kind of glossed over the original posts as more speculation. That'll teach me!

    Incarnates

    I hope they do, too, Sam. Because of my odd play times, I usually solo myself. I'll accept it if there isn't, because I'm not getting GR just for Incarnates, but I'd much prefer the option.

    Like the others said, anything that can get them before they get you. Without their miracle end drain, they're wimps.

    Incarnates

    And if they do, there's still the stuff 50s were doing before. Might be irritating if you already bought GR specifically for Incarnates, but then caveat emptor early buyers.
  21. The kind of update that would be fiscally wise (for example, whole new game engine) would pretty much require being a new game. Integrating it with the current one would be unwise, in both a time- and money-spent manner.

    Still nobody cares for [Secondary Mutation]. Maybe you don't really wanna know what's in the pack, just make some random tail suggestion.
    No, I just assumed it was more speculation with a photoshopped up pic. There's been no announcement to my knowledge what's in the pack. Even if there was, it's not available yet, so where did the pics come from?

    Incarnates

    xhris wonders:

    Devs announce an end-game system. But, what is the need for it? We can already soft-cap our builds using IOs and take on AVs and GMs. Do the devs really wants us to solo Hami and mother ship? I think not. Then, why adding the incarnate system? Why do we need more power?
    I believe the quote was something like "You'll need it." which is an oblique way of saying there will be content specifically for the Incarnates.

    But I love how the fir trees are represented in Rush's "Tree" song... mentioned only once.... "noble law". I wonder which party they're supposed to represent? monarchy?
    Fir trees aren't mentioned at all. "for they passed a noble law".
