Problem with images like that is it's quite simple to have a level 50 in 1 hour. Level pact, never log in, let the other partner get to 50, log in.
I guess we'll never know for certain, but I'd like written claims as well as a simple image.

True enough - I agree. The original post did say that it was MA related but then again I sometimes say that I have a 6-pack...

[/ QUOTE ]

Sometimes I do have a 6-pack, then I drink them.

Cobra may have delivered an agreement with a bit more Venom (pun intended), but I'm glad he agrees with my point. Veteran rewards are given out for PLAYING the game. Not PAYING it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Umm, not entirely true. They are based on subscription time (both payed for and free time like from the Mac Pack) that has elapsed. There is no requirement to actually PLAY that game during this time.

[/ QUOTE ]

True but you do not get badges for paying for the sub, you get the badges once you "played" the duration.
Weather you just let accout sit still or actually were logged in during the played time is an altogether diffrent matter.

So Cobra is indeed spot on.

[/ QUOTE ]

Except 'playing' implies logging in and participating in the game. You get the badge for having had an active(read paid for, not used) account for the set amount of time.

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, i'm french and i bought the pack in $, i didn't check.

I hope, there is a solution from NCSoft Support because this is not very clear when you buy the pack.

[/ QUOTE ]

Send support a message, pretty sure they refund you and then you have to buy the EU one seperatly.

Have you checked that you bought the EU and not the US version? I think a number of people have had this issue.

[ QUOTE ]
Ok, ok, pick hairs. You knew where I was coming from. A 'paying, account activated member of the community in some form or another'.

How about 'patron'?

[/ QUOTE ]

Would that make us patronising? Cos it seems appropriate.

Anyone remember Dinoriders?

But where are the Space Nazis? And the Fezzes? (is that how you pluralise Fez?)

[/ QUOTE ]

It sounds like a word that is a plural itself so I would say Fez is the plural too.

Good luck mate. Enjoy where ever the future takes you.

Am I the only one who think that emotes are only for magic booster buyers ???

[/ QUOTE ]

Ummm... yes. Figured they tested those as part of the Magic Booster, and will now include more. Someone mentioned they did this with the Aura's too and the Cyborg Pack.

I'd be dissapointed it they were only for people with the Booster (even though I have that)

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Such as not recognizing that there's Maestro cards starting in 2009, meaning I can't get the booster pack nor can I update my sub at the end of the month.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a known issue and should be resolved in the near future.

[/ QUOTE ]

Meaning we will fix this for 2009 around the time 2010 begins to be an issue.

They are on the NCsoft website under the info for the booster.

Usually the local badge should override the global one, so if you are in say Pocket D and go to the hospital there you will get the caregiver/pain specialist rather than the night clubber.

My fav bit of that video is still the "you rolled TA? lool"

Haha, that made me laugh.

Although she's been upgraded from gf to wife.


[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, thats an expensive upgrade, but worth it I hear, as long as you don't try to install mistress 1.5, which triggers the divorce virus.

Welcome back pyra, from a newbie who has no idea who you are.

I would still love to see that added.

\o_ me. it was me. I did it! hahahahaha.

Clearly not, a frog wouldn't have the ability.

The names of the neighbourhoods are shown on the maps when the area is uncovered. There is a blue dot in each neighbourhood that will show the name on rollover.

Actually we may be nearing the end of the CoH forums.......
...just kidding!

And I spoke too soon, I can't fix it myself. Our technical team is taking care of it but it will take a little while before they can fix the forums back to what they used to be!

Apologies for the inconvenience!

[/ QUOTE ]

Any chance they could put them back BETTER than they used to be, cos they used to be [censored].

They do work, you just have to do it a second time. First time you get the dance, second time you get the boombox. Been like this since I13 went live I think.

Dude, it's not going to happen, soley because of the way you are acting.

I think the problem is getting back out again.

Hahaha, what a weird question. Of course if there is nothing else to be done then fix that. But there is, and that stuff should be prioritised ahead of it. So us saying yes to your question in no way indicates we think the devs should prioritise it.

GlobeCo had made a decision to stop the daily checks because it took too much time


[/ QUOTE ]
Im equating this - to NCSoft not improving the little things in life, like the general nicness of the city and inhabitants, yet still being paid by the customers.

The Civilian Models have been the same way they have been from day 1 as someone else said. No improvements have been made to them, at least not that I've seen, and its been agreed that improvements on them would be welcome. Maybe not a high priority, but certainly welcomed.

[/ QUOTE ]

OK, except that in the case you have outlined globeco made that decision when they weren't allowed to stop them. The ethical issue isn't that they stopped the checks (although that is also not really right) but in that they are now trying to falsify information. I think you need to possibly look into ethics a little more before you start trying to debate them.

NC allocating work to a certain area of their business isn't an ethical issue in any way what so ever.

[ QUOTE ]
The Ethics issue does not exist because of what they do,
it only exists if they do what they do, to save money or trouble, at expense to their customers.

In context, I am not saying that there is an ethical issue with them providing bad civilian behavior.

I am saying that there could be an ethical issue, if they are providing bad quality for civilians and bad city quality, as a cost cutting measure, or not improving it, because of cost cutting.

They should not be compromising their end product to their customers in any way while still charging them the same price.

[/ QUOTE ]

You seem to think that NC/Cryptic have removed a feature while still charging the same price. The feature was never there, the price you pay/paid is for the same civilian AI it's alway been. You aren't getting a worse deal.

Ethics doesn't even begin to come into this. Cost cutting is a fact of life and something I deal with every day. It's only ethicly bad if it is dangerous (such as removing reinforcing on a building project).
