    So here is my question to you, and those of you who skipped to the end, start reading now: Do you need your games to provide a "complete" experience with trivia, background, secrets and lore, or are you more interested in playing a fun game and following an engaging, but not necessarily plot-heavy story?
    For a game where you play an established character in a linear storyline then i would have to say i dont really mind no real storyline.

    For a game in which you can actually create the main character [which is finally becoming more and more popular with newer games and not just MMOs] it is almost essential to me. I have always been a fan of the underdog story [or someone rising from the street to become the main man as such] and by having a large background of information i can create his own story as such [even if it is purely in my head].


    I like the little touches and the feeling of an actual world/universe within a game. If you dont know WHATS going to happen in the game, then it can keep you guessing as to what is actually going to happen. Alan wake is a prime example of a way in which the little information isnt needed but if you use it/find it, then its a great help and explains the world a lot better.

    Is that possible? So i could have a few of my main characters in fighting stances on the loading screen?

    Also, can you please hurry i19 along. My new characters that are waiting to be made are getting . . . . . angry.
  3. Hey if im going to be more powerfull than the main characters, then i want to be the one on the loading screen when i load up the game !

    Good read and looking forward to playing it on numerous different characters. The one part that did catch my eye was the part where it says it drains the powers of non incarnates. Possible hint at power supression castle hinted at a year or so ago? If so, good way to make it happen imo Unless the taskforce doesnt let you start it unless your all incarnates . . . .

    I would love for a way to see the percentage of players in each country [plus states in the US though again, to me a state is just a small country part of a bigger country ].

    During my time here i have seen a total of 10, maybe 15 at the most welsh players [from what i can see, only 4 of us are regular forum posters].
  5. Samuel_Tow is one of those players who i think would be awesome to team with if a "unification" happened

    3. Why would Koreans want to play with NA? I'm just using this as an example. There is a 12 hour difference. I'm getting up, your going to bed.
    Im just getting home from work looking to start a TF/team but can't due to everybody "winding down". With a global base, i get to play with people who are wide awake!

    Could you also define what you say is a local time? Should a player playing in the UK be teaming with somebody in eastern Europe who are a few hours ahead?

    I've got a low level NA account but i want to team with certain NA [server] players so badly on my proper characters

    Troof.

    Still itching to team with Mother's Love, Floating Fat Man, etc.
    Ah ML's, the legend of Union!

    Edit: Just to add that i get next to no lag on freedom, but still get really bad load screens/random crashes/rubberbanding on Union/Defiant
  8. Hello there Aleph_EU, there are people still playing in Praetoria at the moment yes and expect a very large increase in new Praetorians once i19 and inherit fitness comes out I know of quite a few people who are holding off making new characters [or have planned new characters] due to the fitness change and alternative animations.

    I can only speak for union since out of the two servers im 90% union and 10% defiant, but if you do join union to test it out i strongly urge you to join the main channels to make teaming easier.

    Sals badgehunters
    Union Chat
    Union Taskforce
    Union Raids

    I currently have a few low level praetorians if you'ld like to team with them?
    • Level 13 pistols/dark miasma corrupt
    • Level 8 demon/pain mastermind
    • level 7 grav/earth dominator
    • Level 4 elec/storm controller
    Obviously this all depends on your playtime since i play different hours on different days

    Tomorrow evening i will be playing from about 5pm until 8pm so if you want and decide to play on Union you can contact me ingame on the global @damz Though may i suggest trying out both the servers to get a feel of which place you feel most comfortable with

    Hope to catch you ingame soon! [and ignore the rumours you might hear about a damz! ]

    I saw the timer and thought "oh so 5 mins before they arrive? FOOLS! They have no idea what they are getting themselves in for!"
  10. Will check it out, though they need to do a competition for player created tip missions to be added
  11. Hey as long as the new issue is great and bug free does it really matter when it . . . . . . . . . . oh to hell with it, GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!

    Now im the noobest techno dude out there, but surely if the problem started once you got a new PC its related more to your PC than the updater?

    So is the i20 beta in the alpha beta but i19 is all about the alpha but is not in alpha beta?

  15. D.Hill - England [top one] is my favourite out of them all They all do a great job of showing off the zones!

    Well done to all the winners

    Remember, you heard it here first.

  17. I hate those small paths before you get to the portal! The amount of times i've turned around on myself due to fighting enemies and end up back at the start is already in to double figures!

    [love the map really though i want a proper maze map!]

    I am sad it is only for 11 days this year. Trick or treating for Halloween and present hunting for "winter holiday" (it's CHRISTMAS!) are my favorite things to do in the game.

    Well you never know, might be more If memory serves correct, havent the last few weekend/week long events lasted an extra day or two due to whatever?

    lol now theres an exact figure from someone wanting to play it NOW
  20. Just had a thought, the first major pack was the wedding pack correct? Remember them saying they were able to bring content forward because of enough people purchasing it. Is that still the case devs/mods regarding how well boosters do?

    As a customer, it's not my responsibility to care about a company's financial woes. I know how bad the economy is. That's why it's very annoying constantly being asked for more money, especially for stuff that is overpriced (Party Pack) and that they had no business charging extra for (Open Present emote, GR Complete Items).
    Sure it is. If ANY business continues to give away free goodies as such, then they will go bust and the product that you buy from them [game] will no longer be available. MTs that have zero impact on how a game is played [eg content/levels] should be allowed imo.

    Really though you have to look at the larger picture at just how much free stuff we have gotten when you compare it to other MMOs [none as "mature" as this one] that dont even get half the free updates that we do. I know a certain other MMO that tries to charge you roughly the same amount for a costume SET, thats a set not a booster with a whole load of items in them.

    As long as they keep the boosters as just nice little extras then its fine by me. Some people will like them more than others but thats ok, not at any disadvantage by not buying them

    They call him Lord.

  24. Will the capes/auras be unlocked from character creation?
