Agin I am all for this change.
However its still a Change. People don't like change. I was simply trying to inform the OP that he was going to have to defend agenst this tipe of argument and offed the most obvious Hand-waving option for those people.
The mystic fortune will be the perfect example of people and change. They changed it and people moaned, they changed it back and people moaned. Gotta love change

Now that practically everyone can play a HEAT or VEAT if they so desire, any chance we might get some more official content or tweaks for them?
For example, maybe the VEATs could get a version of the PPD Radio where they're "assigned" to handle specific situations in their official capacity as an Arachnos Soldier.
The Kheldians could get missions specific to their origin: tracking down supplies of quantum rifles, putting down rogue Kheldians, that sort of thing.
Is it me or were the low level HEAT arcs way better than the higher ones? I liked tracking down kheldians gone "bad" as such. -
Serbia v ghana
Germany v australia
Predictions? [todays football for those who dont know].
Serbia 3 - 1 ghana
Germany 2 - 1 australia
are my predictions. -

Todays game reaffirmed for me why I just can't cheer for our team. A general lack of control and inability to stretch the field makes each game hard to watch. England was absolutely the better team out there. As for predictions, I'm not buying into Brazil to win it all, I think its going to Spain. Cheering loudest for the Netherlands myself
Hope it was ok for me sneaking in here No one around here cares. :'(
Well when you consider the popularity of football in america, it is still a huge success to even be in the world cup imo. Think once footie becomes even half as popular as your american footie [which is basically rugby come on!], then you could potentially dominate the world given the pool of people you'ld have to pick from.
Edit: Question for england fans, how many of you would trade for giggsy given the chance?

I found it interesting watching the difference between the quality and technique of the defenders in England verse USA. A few times it looked like the American forwards easily outclassed the English in athleticism and speed only to be turned away by good positioning, technique and a relatively fair elbow to the chest (just standard physical play).
On the opposite side the English attack did well moving the ball around and spreading out. The American defenders looked lost, confused and outrageously out of position at times. Curse you Bocanegra! Yet, sadly, I cannot name an American I'd rather have in his place
Perhaps this feeling is how those on the other side of the pond feel about Green?
With Englands two best keepers at the time [james/green], they were both part of teams that either got relegated or just avoided it. Its a possibility that with foster moving on for first team football that he'll be ready for the next euros but this is kind of really englands best chance for a trophy before having to wait for the next golden generation to come through. When lamps/gerrard/terry/rio/cole are passed their peaks by the time the next tournie comes around, will a team of milner/barry/SWP/walcott/upson really strike fear in to the opposition? -

I don't know what to take from that match, in all honesty.
Im not sure if I should be happy, sad, worried about the future matches, or what.
Clearly USA did a good job, however they cant really boast about this match based upon the goalies fault. They did have a few good moments but yeah.
Im not sure if I should be worried for england or what, ..match kinda confused me.
Overall the performance was good, but as has been the problem for the last 6 years or so, it boils down to their keepers not being of the highest standards. You just feel that any shot at them has a chance of going in.
England desperately needs a world class keeper again to do well in a major tournie [imo] -

In work i picked out ghana/australia and duras in my sweepstake so i really got no chance of winning the pot money
Watched the france match yesterday and it was pretty good
Heard the ref in the first match was poor and the ref [imo] wasnt of the highest standards in this match either to be fair. Cant believe how easy france were to predict though and how stubborn they are. Looked like they were ready to settle for a draw to be honest, even with an extra man!
Looking forward to the drinking games tonight in town for the england match though

Quote:Now im more confused than i was before!
When I read the reason well a few thoughts sprung up on my mind.
We are a few months from launch so i'd expect (wrongly maybe) that the family (inhouse) beta is over and that the first wave of people have gotten in.
That means mostlikely (unless new server tech... could be) every NA tester have had to update their test to go directly to the EU one.
Unless they secretly are doing things to the updater that we cannot know, but may have asked for for a very long time

I'm sure there are many factors other than just coding as Avatea says, I guess a list merge could have impacts such as potential jobs loses in EU support etc, our servers will be on some kinda contract so there will be financial considerations. Also I guess there is the perception of a merge with GR coming, plus a merge puts their whole player-base at risk if it's problematic. No doubt there would be other factors we can't even think of.
I'm only guessing that a merge is the general plan as the total lack of marketing and boxed edition leaves us with no real future in my opinion.
The EU needs something to happen soon or at least some news of plans or direction, I'm just pointing out that it may not be as simple as some people may think.
I still believe that the EARLIEST we'll see anything happen [if at all] will be towards the end of the year after the GR buzz has died down. -

Mr. G's name is mentioned in one of the new arcs. I've been looking through the real names of many major characters, and I'm pulling loads of blanks. The only possibilities I've seen thus far are those whose real names we do not know; the Clockwork King, Hero 1, Viridian, etc.
I'll probably keep looking further, because I'm a little too excited, but I doubt it's going to be that easy.
What does he do in the new arcs? Is he the one giving us the letters? The one responsible for protean? -
Who's Mr G by the way? Name doesnt ring a bell from i17

Ah but least it still points out that tyrant is indeed also their greatest hero. The people gave him the throne after all.
Edit: Itchin to try out some of the new arcs in it! -

Do the items not have the US version also available link under them? Thats how I buy stuff for my US account.
On mine none of the boosters [including the wedding pack] and the GR pre-purchase has the US link on them. However the full game versions do have these links. -

Wait, is the NA store still redirecting to the EU store?
The ONLY way it lets me go on to anything NA related on the website is the following link
http://us.ncsoft.com/us/news/2008/12...unches_11.html [which btw still has i13 as the main headline?]
Clearly the US version of the website, clicking on to the store directs me to the EU store
https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/Store.pl
Apart from that, not really sure how else i can actually log on to the NA store

Are you up to 90 toons now Damzy? Have you spread yourself aaaaaaaaaaaaaall over the NA servers?
I've got my elec/shield scrapper up to 31 and my emp/rad defender up to 34 [half a bar from 35], everybody over there is calling me by my characters name! Not by damz! So if im on Ultimate Damz, they call me ultimate, not damz! Welshy no like ultimate!
Hoping to get a bit more done on there before GR comes out and im back to the EU [only bought GR for the EU side] though. -

LOL!!!!
Edit: Just checked the links on mine [didnt originally check since i had already pre-purchased it] and on all 6 of the e-mails i've had they all point to the NA version of the download. Well least i think its the NA version, the EU version has the (europe] and supported languages (english/french/german) on it correct? If so, none of mine do
