    1. Do you favour the idea of being able to solo EBs/AVs/GMs, if so/not, why?

    2. Have you ever soloed an EB/AV/GM, and if so how did you feel afterward?

    3. Do you think the dynamic will change after the implementation of the Incarnate system?

    4. Whatever else you wish to add.

    1. EBs, yes. AVs/GMs - if someone can solo AVs/GMs, great, but I don't feel any pressing need to attempt it.

    2. I've soloed plenty of EBs. I'm working my electric/ice tanker through the Maria Jenkins arc right now (between checking the forums). Just soloed Black Swan, Battle Maiden, Neuron, Nightstar, uh... Bobcat, uh... I forget. Siege, though - bah! Even with a boatload of reds, even set at -1/x1, even with the help of Amy Jonsson, couldn't do it. Can't out-damage his <bleeping!> heal.

    3. I don't know.

    4. I managed to recreate my aunt's broccoli casserole, and I've gotten close on the meatloaf, but I doubt that I'll ever figure out how she made that wonderful chili.

    That fact alone proves that we're not paying for content and development, because the only thing we lose out on by not paying all year is access to the game.
    Okay.

    If everyone did the same thing - only paid for a month whenever a new issue was released - what would happen?

    Oh, yeah? Stop paying. See how much content you get.

    I believe BaBs said it, some time ago - here it is:

    Hope that works.

    Yeah! Take that, stupid pre-orders!

    Anyway. Before all that wedding pack stuff could be 'in stock' and sensibly sold it had to be created. Which means someone had to take the time and put forth the effort create it. Artists. Animators. Whoever else. Time and effort = $$, so the before the wedding pack could pay for anything else it had to pay for itself. Which, evidently, it did.

    I bought it. So I helped pay for VEATS and all you people with VEATS - you owe me, big time!
  13. I searched but didn't see this posted here, so...

    I was logging out the other day and while the timer was counting down I was rearranging my character's inspirations. Well, the timer ran out just as I was moving a small red inspiration - then, at the log in screen, the cursor was a blue hand holding a small red inspiration.

    I tried to log back in, but couldn't get the Account Password field to become (don't know the proper term) 'active' by clicking with the blue hand holding the inspiration. Using the Tab key got me into the Account Password field, so I typed my password and pressed Enter, which logged me in. But then couldn't select a server. I tried pressing the 'Back To Login' button, but it wouldn't work, either. I had to use ctrl-alt-del to shut down the game and restart.

    All the while, the cursor remained a blue fist holding a small red inspiration.

    I've done it twice more (on purpose) to make sure it wasn't just a temporary hiccup, and it happened again both times.

    So... I guess the moral of the story is, don't pick up an inspiration while you're logging out.

    The phrase 'server access' is not found in the EULA. See for yourself:

    http://us.ncsoft.com/en/legal/user-a...agreement.html

    If you're using Windows, you should be able to use ctrl+F to bring up the Find function. Type 'server access' in the window. It's not there. 'Phrase not found.'

    Now, if by 'server access' you are talking about the 'service' we are paying to access, there are lots of details about that, starting with:

    Quote:
    DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE; NCCOIN

    NC Interactive offers Game(s) as massively multiplayer subscription-based comic book hero and villain role-playing game(s) service and fee-based additional features including, without limitation, character slots and skill packs ("Additional Features") (the "Service") accessible through our web site, currently at http://www.cityofheroes.com and http://www.cityofvillains.com (the "Web Site"), as applicable. Some of the content, features and/or Services on the Web Site are fee-based and have limited use based on time elapsed (hours, days, etc.) as set forth at the time of purchase.

    And then there's:

    Quote:
    (a) Content.

    But I'm not seeing any specific details in regard to what our $15/month does and does not cover.

    Maybe. Maybe not.

    Any new content is free, we pay for access, not new content.
    If everyone currently paying for access stopped paying for access right now how long would we keep getting all that new 'free' content?

    Give them *alternate forms* to change into. Instead of lobster and squid, something like giant space hamster and bat.
