*don't you know





(Haha, just figured I'd take your offering there!)

Heeheehee... I know exactly what you're talking about there.

I have similar endeavors that carry that same effect.

One being old fashioned cel animation.
Now, drawing is certainly something that you can love doing more than pecking out code and all...
But when you're drawing 12 pictures for one second of animation time and spend hours and hours doing this... It changes things!

However... Seeing those still drawings COME TO LIFE... Wow.
Sometimes performances can even be this way. There is a lot of work behind rehearsing and getting things to the level that a near-perfectionist is happy with... but that moment of the actual performance... it's worth all of the trouble multiplied by an inordinate magnitude, hehe...
But yeah, manipulating seemingly mundane things over long periods of time... but then witnessing your creation coming to life and doing what you wanted it to on its own is a very powerful feeling!

Anyway, sorry... your post was well written and made think on the bliss you speak of!




As for the entire notion of this thread...
Bah... I promised myself today that I'd stay out of such things for a while, hehe...

And I'm not looking to harp on your words here, Silver Gale. I get the impression that you are just honestly speaking out of a mindset of respect and perspective of grave realities... And I, personally, endeavor to stick to such things as well.

However, I do think that that comment is wrong.

I'm an artist, poet and a songwriter.
If I paint, write a poem or record a song that is inspired by such events... If it is part of my process in digesting these things... if it is part of my process of sharing my feelings...
Is that really any different than any other creative outlet that another person chooses to pursue and display feelings and thoughts on such complex matters?

Hehe, my name is Electric-Knight (not really) and I approve of McCharraigin's sincerely sweet post (really).


Black Light, I'm glad to see you feel a little less stressed about it after a bit of time and I hope it works out okay, when all is said and done.
I never really cared too much about my global name (even though many use it as the name they know me as [but I have about three that people use... my forum name/main character, my global and my guild portal username... So, I realized that my attachment to my global name is not as strong as others']). It's also just a made up name that is not likely to be used by anyone else.
Anyway, none of that matters, I just figured I'd share it, hehe.

I highly suggest waiting and seeing and don't worry about it right now. There is not much you can do anyway... so, worrying does no good. And, if something can be done about it, worrying is still not needed.

One last thing, with all respect. The English word you were intending to use is "lose" with one o.
Just for the record, your English was excellent and everything was translated perfectly well. Just that one mistake made a few times (losers, losing and lose).
Loose with two os is when something is less tight (loose screw, loose pants).

Don't worry about it. The English language has little traps set up just to make people trip up a bit... all to make others giggle, I think!

Tenzhi is correct.

And all of the Kinetic Melee attacks I remember seeing on a Shield user are one-handed. I am not positive that they all are, but I think they're all one-handed.

It's sort of cool (especially if you use one robotic arm or something), but I could see not wanting that as well.

I'm going to be nice...
Along with what twelfth said, this is also a bit of art.
They're just dressing things up with a little congruity. Vastly different looking appearance options were added... they're sprinkling it into the game world a bit.

The day you stop taking the time for the little things, is the day you should quit.

Would you like a second opinion?

Very cool.

I'd be hopeful that things like Liz Bathory and others have pointed out (their own inactive NA trial accounts [and, possibly any inactive trial account]) can be worked out.

While I see some global name sacrifices/changes being an inevitable aspect of such a merger, I do agree that taking veteran status into account would be best.

As I said earlier, I just hope that people don't get worked up about it right now.
Express the reasonable thoughts and opinions and place a bit of trust in things being worked out in a combination of fairness and feasibility.

Best of luck to all!

Is there any question??


[I think I am going to write something for a super-goody-two-shoes alternate dimension... Maybe it will result with an intervention/invasion on our Prime]

That is excellent, thank you, Aggelakis!

Hahaha...


I am definitely looking forward to visiting Union and possibly getting involved in some of the role-play I've gotten to hear about.

And I shall do my best to type in the Queen's language with the respect that it deserves...
<.<

Hehe, honestly, I already spell some words the proper way (I can't type theatre any other way) and I am used to much more.
I practically learned to read from my Asterix comics sent from my grandparents.

And, hey, I used to keep a French/English Dictionary on my desk for when I played another game on their unofficial French server... So, I suppose adapting and using real English on the EU servers would be appropriate.

You heard it here first!
Arcanaville saved all of our lives!!




I may as well chime in on topic with my most amazingly ignored and disregarded opinions!

I agree with many others (especially with how Oedipus and Arcana have summed things up) that the whole idea behind the Lore Slot (and other aspects of the incarnate/well stuff) seems like a bit of a mistake, to me.
That's really just opinion though... as, an artist is free to make "mistakes" that will leave some people not-entirely-happy with the results.
Usually, that just means too bad for those of us who don't like how it is.

Still... My reasons for not liking the whole Lore Slot is basically that the idea of including Pets at all goes a bit beyond what I was looking for in End-Game progression.
However, (and that should be a big gigantic however) if I/you/we don't really have to use each and every power from each and every slot... and we can get by quite sufficiently (if not stupendously) without using certain one or two powers/slots along our way to kicking some epic buttocks...
Then no real harm or foul at all (and bonus for those who do want such a thing as a pet power).

If using and/or obtaining the pet power is a major part of functionality and/or progression... then... Never mind customization, I'd be perfectly willing (and wanting) to wait quite a long while as they re-figured that entire plan.


Thems are just my opinions...
And no matter what any fool may wish to paint them as, they're just my casual opinions and observations about the matter.


So, (Not that I, nor likely many other posters here, think that any such delay will happen) I'd have zero issue with the Lore Slot being delayed.
However, my dislike of the power wouldn't really be fixed with Non-Praetorian options. The whole notion of summoning essences of the well in humanoid manifestations (or the like) is just beyond anything I'm interested in playing out with any of my characters.
Customization (or plethora of options), of course, could allow for more wiggle-room/hand-waving/re-writing of where/what/how the story of this NPC companion fits in.


I just hope that some of these Incarnate Powers can be treated like power selections from your Primary/Secondary... where it is perfectly fine to skip over/not choose some.

You know... PO-Tay-Toes!
