    Ok, the smiley at the end should have been a sign for you to realize I was joking with you. Perhaps you should try reading everything before coming back with snarky answers.

    Welcome to ignore.
  3. I notice you use hover in those three. I'm not a fan personally, but I guess I would have to change to that or pick up acro since no IOs means no kb IOs. But I'd be more than willing to bet you're in the minority when it comes to IO use. One of the builds you posted as SO proof even has IOs in it :P

    What if a new player pays $2 to unlock the IO system, and then lets their 30 day licence expire? Do they get to keep the IOs they slotted? Or are we working on some other information like the last time the character's build was modified, if its before Freedom Day Zero or not? Is that information in the character database even?

    Wouldn't this just turn $2 into an unlimited use of IOs and thus lose Paragon Studios money?

    I think it opens up too many problems, and as others have said the solution already exists
    What if it was a 1 time fee of something like 400 points and then IO's were unlocked on your account for good. It's really the 30 day limit that I have issues with.

    What if you bought a character slot and it went away after 15 days? It only costs $1 every 15 days for you to have the slot open. Would you have an issues?

    It's not F2P but they let you play for free? Call it what you want, but it is F2P.

    This attitude reaks of neener neener neener, I can use my IO's and you can;t

    So all of your characters are running around with SOs then? No basic IOs or sets in any of them?
  8. Allowing players to use the IO's they bought/earned allows players to enjoy the game on characters that have the first build IO'd out.

    I wonder if you didn't have the disability if your tune would be different or would you continue to push the 2nd build option? Since free accounts don't get incarnate stuff, do they even get a third build?
  9. I get that micro-transactions are the new hotness, I really do. And a business needs to make money to survive. But please let us use IO's that we already slotted on our toons. Lock new IO's, that's fine and all. Was going to load in some of my pvp toons on a different account but they are useless because the IOs slotted can't be used.

    A certain player named a toon after my global name on exalted. I would assume so I can't make it there?
    Using the getglobalname command I recognized this players global, so I know it was intentional.
    The hilarious part of this is, I don't even have a toon named for my global name!
    Someone is trying way too hard! :P
    What is your global? Maybe someone shares similar interests as you?

    I got my global name secured.
  12. If I global ignored anyone that acted stupid, a lot of channels from liberty would seem empty.

    Ocho paid an extensive visit to the Burrow a while back and actually convinced me that he was going to make it a point that the dev team that it would be worth while effort to add some low hanging fruit type features to the editor.

    That was going to keep base builders active, on a more personal note, that was going to keep -this- base builder in the game.

    He assured me that he was very vocal when it came to things that were important to the players and this IS important to the base editors.

    So no. I can't keep my cool. His leaving means we don't have someone fighting the good fight. Base builder community or not, we needed Ocho.

    I seriously doubt Mod 05 could ever understand the BBC... or do... anything like this FOR the community. All I have seen him do is cheaply go through the motions of moderation.

    Yeah Mod05 I WAS testing you. have been for a while now.

    I can't be cool about this.

    We needed Ocho.
    Ocho actually showed an interest in what the player base wanted and seemed very good at letting the devs know. Mod05 is more interested in moderating less interested in what people think or want. Hopefully that changes when he becomes Cinco, but who knows.
  17. You should take mod05 with you.

    Fight Night

    So who won? I was unable to arrive at home on time for this.
  20. The storm AV doesn't equal an instant fail. Sounds like there was a breakdown in communication.
  21. I think I'll let other people have a go at this trial this time instead of taking a spot or 7
