    From what I was told by someone that started running them when they first came out, one of the earliest Meow missions had a catgirl as the contact and just said Meow in the mission description.

    Kill X mobs

    You get credit for a kill if it's the selected mission or not. All that matters is that you defeated that mob type. If I'm leading a team and I see someone has a kill X mob mission, I will try to get a team mission that has that mob in it

    I wish I could say that I don't see it very often, but I would have to say that at least 25% of the applications I get use l33t.

    I don't expect perfect grammar, but I do expect people to at least try. Using l33t doesn't make a person look cool. They just look lazy and/or stupid. Shorting words makes sense when you are texting, but you have a full easy-to-use keyboard in front of you. Use it. It will help when you get out into the real world. Using l33t in company emails will cost you a raise, promotions, and possibly your very job, if you can get hired in the first place. Any application I get that is filled out in l33t goes straight to the rejects.
  5. That was also back when they thought more people wanted to PvP. It turns out that few liked the PvP in this game and the bug was going to take a lot to fix so they just decided it wasn't worth the cost at that time.
  6. Interesting idea, but seeing as the PvP zones we have are almost always empty I don't see the Devs putting the work into making another one. If there was more player demand maybe, but most players would rather have more co-op zones.

    When this happens to me, I just move to the point that is giving everyone trouble, gather them there and lead them the rest of the way.
  8. Sadly, you can't put Blessing of the Zephyr in sprint.
  9. This is a bad idea. All on the spot duals will do is cause the PvE players to start complaining to the Devs. Remember how pissed off people were when they were forced to go into the PvP zones so they could clear the "talk to **** Liaison." People got so sick of getting ganked the moment they stepped in to clear that contact (and being told that if they didn't want to PvP, then to stay out of the zones... even though they couldn't get new missions if they didn't go in) that the Devs moved the Liaison outside the PvP zones. This alone should tell you that most of the player base doesn't want anything to do with PvP and to force it in their face with yet more PvP will do no good.
  10. That's odd. It's the fastest for me at those times. It's possible that you have a problem between your PC and the server that is slowing things down.
  11. The chat logs have them already. I don't know if it would be easy as making a slash command, but it would be nice
  12. The only time I see this is during peak times when there are a lot of people trying to use the market. The number of people around you can also make it worse. That's why I always run to KR during the peak times because that is almost always the slowest WW. There are times when the market server is so laggy that I don't bother to even try. I just come back later.
  13. What it comes down to is that there are few PvPers in the game. No amount of badges or redesign will change that (look how bad the i13 pvp changes went over.) I have never had a good time in the arena no matter how many time I have tried. At most I'll just farm the badges with the people that feel the way I do and then leave again. To me the arena was a failed idea. From a business stand point, the resources that would be needed for this would be better spent giving new content to the majority of players.
  14. If you don't like that the servers go down for maintenance, then I wonder why you play any online game. I have yet to see any game that doesn't do this. I would hate to think how bad the servers would get without maintenance. As it is now I can tell when a server crash is due. We would see more server crashes if they didn't take them down for work. Yeah it sucks that we can't play any time we want, but I would rather they tell us when we can't play rather than wait for a crash.

    Wittgenstein's Banana

    A banana is flying first class from New York to LA. Two scientists, one in each city, are talking on the phone about banana. Because it is moving in relationship to its noun, the referent of the word banana never occupies one space, and anything that does not occupy one space does not exist. Therefore, a banana will arrive at JFK with no limousine into the city, even though the reservation was confirmed in L.A.

    Base Room PVP

    I would be shocked if they ever get the base raids back up. Now that they have done away with base raid pathing, they would have to change the entire raid system or any base that wasn't built with raid pathing would have to be trashed.

    Base Room PVP

    I think it would just be easier to have Arena Battle Terminals that can be placed in a base.

    Has AE KOed CoX?

    I put "I don't do AE farms" in the team search comments on a toon. I started to get lots of non-farm invite every time I set it to Looking for Team. I never have trouble finding a mission team.

    Woot, ok, thanks for the tips everyone, I'll make the rounds again looking for the COV CE...

    I lucked out and found that sitting on a shelf in circuit city when they were going out of business. Was a nice surprise to find without even looking.

    I did the same thing, except the box was still priced at 70 bucks. It's no wonder they went out of business!

    [/ QUOTE ]
    That had nothing to do with why they went out of business. The first thing a liquidation company does when they take over the store closing is set -All- prices to full retail. Even the items that are selling for $10 before the closing sale starts. People think that they are getting a deal, so they are willing to buy that "20% off" item that was just marked up 40% two days earlier. Unless you are shopping in the final weeks, you are overpaying for everything.
  20. The debt would be worth it to see that building fall

    So I have to buy the game - AGAIN, just for one little thing? Lame.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    At least you CAN buy it. I've bought almost all the packs and extra goodies this game has, but one thing I don't have and really want is the Arachnos cape logo, and afaik, it was only available in the COV Collector's Edition DVD, and I don't believe that is available anywhere.

    I see them all the time. There are several at Amazon cheap.
  22. If we go back again, it will be only to get ready for a Mars mission. I'm not saying that there isn't a lot that we can still learn from the Moon, but Mars would be the end goal.
  23. The halo was from the Winter event. You traded candy canes for it. They will be back next Winter event.

    When they were landing the LEM the flight computer kicked the bucket. Armstrong had to land manually. He had 30 seconds of fuel on touchdown.

    It didn't kick the bucket. It was turned off because it was taking them to a crater full of boulders.
  25. Sorry. I've never heard of Pandora radio. I see no reason to switch from The Cape
