what is this thing about?

basically.

Yes but what about those games that didnt make it that long and no longer among us?

<---This.

I see what you are saying. Hell, we just got barely what, 20,000 people to sign the petition and probably less once the double signers and false identities are sorted out? And that's out of at least 100,000 players of this game. The way NCSoft might of took it is that "Ok, we have a small petition. Let's see 20,000 angry players, about 20% disagree with our decision. Hmmm 80% said nothing. We must be doing something right then."

Remember the people that make the decisions probably dont read the forums, or go to game magazine sites, and other underground blogs. If they did they probably would see more people disagree then the petition that was built and probably brought to their attention.

And Like Xmas said and in one of my post at an earlier date about this subject, this is nt the first time and wont be the last.

If we are going to do something, stop clowning around and lets get it. We have to go to them and get out of the internal gaming community and try to get them to understand on their level and mind process. Right now they hear us, yes, so they say, but we have to give them a reason to listen. And a person saying they are not going to buy another NCSoft product probably wont cut it. One they wont miss 100,000 american/eu players compared to the hundreds of millions they have in Asia, and two they probably already figured that majority of COX players are not going to be in the mood to buy another game from them at the moment. And even if someone was somehow able to hurt their pockets, remember the top is the last to go and they sure as hell wont revive a game that they just cut because they started losing money. Nope, they will just fire some more people and kill off a couple of more games to balance the sheet. Buisness. Also got to understanding why a company would want to hold onto IP rights. Many companies do it and NCSoft did not invent holding onto something valuable.

+1.

Dont think land is actual a good analogy here. With property between two people, usually a person is looking to get rid of something and someone is looking to gain something. In the nCSoft negos. NCSoft may not even actually was looking to get rid of it per se, but the other party is trying to gain something. In that case, NCSoft probabably will be looking at gaining something substantial before letting it go for their troubles and probably is just fine on sitting on the IP just as they originally planned. Unlike a land seller who may not be able to move on until the land is sold and may eventually accept offers that are lower than expected.

Ah.

yea hopefully I'm in a grave by that times. I buy cars to drive not to be ridden in. But yeah, I think the longest part will be getting to the point of where the technology is proven.

And I'm not so sure it would be safe to not being able to over ride it as sometimes although the technology by the time it's implemented probably will be relatively reliable, dont think we should assume that nothing ever can go wrong. Lets learn from Titanic, the unsinkable ship. Although the chance of that accident was highly unlikely, it happened and it was a disaster. I think even airplanes have an over ride command for those just in case moments.

In the mean time to improve actual safety, maybe the states should start off with tougher driving tests instead of handing them out like candy to any joe that walks in basically.

Well it looks legit.

what's the plan?

Time for plan Z?

that would be interesting. Maybe stick a power in there called Trunk Monkey or something within the set.

Only tow of my tankers have taunt, the rest dont. Didnt bother with weave tried repseced out of it because it cost too much end and or used too many slots to lower that end usage for the little amount it adds.
On the tankers with taunt, I might have used it twice for one tank? And four times for another even though after a respec I never even put the taunt back into the tray then respec again and got rid of it and did the same for the other tank. Although I mostly soloed. Even on teams, the game wasnt that hard nor complicated and there were very few times that I needed to use it and teams for the most part didnt even realize when I had taunt or the difference after I got rid of taunt. It was a wasted power slot for what I was doing and playstyle for me.

I wonder how the cars of say a muscle car collector that is taking one of his/hers 1960s coupe for a maintence spin and how will the cpu controled cars deal with that? Will they be able to sense the car too even though more than likely something like a 1967 Mustang or something will lack GPS and thus the ability to communicate with the cpu cars, and without traffic lights and passing at precision of a marching band, that may be an issue. Or the people that are not able to afford those new cars.

And given that most of the time when newer cars are in the shop (outside routine maintance) it is usually for for something electronic that of course when it was made was touted as state of the art and reliable, yet time seems to have a different say. I mean even Toyota had the acceleration pedal incident, and there have been cases of people's cruise control either failing to disengage and or wont engage on new cars where it's controled by a coumputer. I hope they do some extensive quality assurance tests before releasing these cars in mass amounts to the public instead of using the customers as test dummies and costing lives before they fix a problems that should of been fixed before leaving the factory.

Yeah, airplace crashes happen way less often and is a safer way to travel then on the freeway but when they do crash all of them make the news. Kind of make the problem bigger than it seems. The only difference though is that with planes, the sky is relatively empty per plane compared to the millions upon millions of cars on the road.

I think driverless cars will be something of the future, but they been working on it since the 70s and I think they are getting closer to making it happen. Now, how to implement it and the legal work of who fault it is in the case something do go wrong or an accident does happen is probably one of the kinks. For each accident, do the car maker gets sued? Does this mean that consumers buying car insurance will be a thing of the past?

So I guess you would of shot yourself if it wasnt for COX?
Hey, not everyone takes a game as a life and death situation. Some people can actually tell the difference between the gaming world and the real world unlike you.

well dont care too much for ketchup but that is one tasty dish I must say.

lol, I know the feeling.

Think I seen this somewhere before and the kid was dumb enough mouth out stuff like that to someone and worse yet to give out his actual address. Unfortunately for him, the guy he was mouthing off to lived in the same town. Let's just say he ended up on youtube, snoring and bloodied. Ironically no more Navy seal talk out of him. Then the kid had the nerve to try to sue. Of course the case got thrown out, since he did technically threaten the guy's life.

The video was funny as hell though. Too bad they took it down.

Oi! You suppose to stay off the subject! This is an Evil_legacy post! No one is suppose to stay on the subject!

Do it matter? When there is a point no one pays attention to it anyways. Since there is no point, then anything is the point. Well of course, if it is to be like the other posts/threads, then you must avoid talking about about the three dots.

Dont worry there will be more threads with a point, but judging from the past the point in those will be ignored too.

This post can serve a purpose so no one can say that I never wrote anything with the reader in mind. Well here it is. It's short, not a wall of text, there is no point to it, and it's just what people seemed to want.

And they call that music!?

Man who ever was able to market that and make it a hit is a pure genius.
