  1. I never thought you disliked me Bella (maybe indifferent at times but not actual dislike), you like most of our community are mature enough to not to hold grudges over a (sometimes heated) discussion on the internet (It's one of the things that made our community great. People could be at eachothers throats in one discussion, and in another providing helpful tips to a new player), and the ones that aren't ... well their antics as they blow things out of proportion is pure entertainment.


    Remember the guy that requested the subs be reduced because he couldn't afford to play because he spent to much on other video games, Pron, gambling, and about a dozen other things and got mad because people pointed out he could afford the game if he cut back on a few of those items he listed?

    Or the guy that thought the Science Booster would encourage children to crossdress?

    Or the guy that argued that items given away on Freebie Friday was like giving a starving man rotten food that would kill him?

    Or the guy that argued he couldn't afford the Store prices because he only made 70k a year.

    Pure gold.

    Actually if you were using French you would have said "b aiseur".



    Edit: Oh btw, I didn't criticize your grammar or spelling. I criticized the quality of your attempted insult. Seriously that's the best you can do? It reads like something a sexually frustrated teenager that gets his head shoved into toilets would say.

    The OP is so eloquent in his verbiage. His mastery of the english language is truly impressive the way he cut me to the quick with his scathing riposte. He must be a Harvard graduate. I'm sure he will find many uses for his verbal skills in his future career where he has his name on his shirt and he asks that burning question, "You want fries with this?"

    It may have been that I was on occasion if I had a strong opinion on a topic, but then I'm pretty sure there were other topics that I agreed with you on just as strongly and aggravated others.

    Heck, I'd be hard pressed to come up with anyone around here who I wholly dislike. The two that have come closest were Golden Girl and that person that used to post around here particularly around the time of Champions' release who had a large-eyed puppy for an avatar. There was a time when I might've thought those two were one and the same, actually.
    Ah yes puppy dog girl. She stopped posting shortly after I called her on the BS story she was spouting about how she couldn't get her money back on her LTS to CO. I think what upset her the most was my posting screenshots of the unedited posts she made a month earlier stating she got refunded the money on her LTS.

    Edit:

    Oh look here's a new one that has me giggling. Obviously a Harvard man from his eloquence. <snicker>

    Don't you love knowing your future of the world rests in the hands of mature people like him?

    Anyway back on topic.

    I noticed also today that my friends list disappeared. I'm hoping it was a bug and I don't have to go back and re-enter everything. I'll check next time I log in.
  5. I wonder what the OP will whine about next, enhancement diversification maybe?
  6. The Dimension seems to be back up but they took my Funcom points and haven't yet delivered my purchases. I have a petition in on it now and I'm waiting to see what happens before I use the store interface again.
  7. Looks like the Server, Dimensions, and Forums have crashed at TSW. I can't log into anything at this time.

    When I do get into the game I get told the Dimension is down, then I get booted to the Login and told the game couldn't authenticate my login and password.

    When I go to the forum I have to login, but when I try to post half the time I'm directed to a screen telling me to login again.

    Just create a new folder in that section and name it Scripts, then create the .txt files inside the new Scripts folder.



    And I think I was the reason Snow made this screenshot.

    The OP's just jealous that Star Trek didn't have Leia in a slave girl bikini which got more female nerds laid than any star trek mini skirt ever did.

    I respectfully disagree

    The 6 Star Trek movies made from '79 to '91 gave the IP new life and convinced the people in charge that there was still lots of money to be made off of spinoff tv shows that didn't show up until 1994.

    They count.

    Already added. I was on around 3am putting about 50 CoHers onto my friends list.

    When I'm online I can be found on one of the following

    CoH Refugee
    Location: Arcadia
    Agents:
    Guinness "Forbin-Project" Squirrel - The Dragons - Just made last night
    Jack "Caracel" Murphy - Templars
    Harley "Locura" Stone - Illuminati

    Ya know in all honesty I think it's the people that "dislike" me that I'm going to miss the most. They've provided me with years of laughter both in the threads and via hostile PM's they've sent me.

    I've had people I ticked off dig thru thousands of my posts to find something to insult me about. They've dredged things I posted in 05-06 as if I'm going to care about something said in a 4, 5, 6 year old thread.

    Oh and I miss the comments I used to get in the Rep system because I had my Rep disabled. Some people were livid when they saw they couldn't get any satisfaction watching my rep drop from neg repping me.


    The only time I've ever reported a nasty message was when some bigot used the "N" word or anti-gay crap. We didn't need racists/bigots in our community.


    Edit: Corrected a typo that was brought to my attention.

    What it requires is a Paragon Studios employee to do it, and all of them have been laid off.

While we aren't malicious, we are definitely not "politically correct". We find humor in everything including ourselves, pretty much nothing is off limits as long as it's not meant to hurt anyone intentionally.

    So....I say be yourself. Those who like you will like you for who you are and those who don't can go **** themselves.

    Anyways, we're Varrak and Pyppie on Daemon if you want to add us to your friends list so you can "let your hair down" so to speak (We can still team up cross-dimension if you're on Arcadia).

    Wait wait, be nice, don't say anything abrasive, or curse? You don'y know my reputation here do you? Some people consider me the anti-christ, tho I think they're overreacting.

    I just wondered if one was set up by ex-CoH players so we could easily keep in touch, develop our own versions of CoH events like Templar Tuesdays and where we wouldn't have to worry about conforming to what at times seems oddly enforced official forum rules.

    We might even expand the sites forums to include other games like you mentioned that other CoH players migrated to like STO and the Paragon Fleet.


    I'm going to be adding names to my friends list but I am a casual player and I keep odd hours cuz a lot of times I just feel too lousy physically to play. So one day I could be on for a few hours 2-5 am, a week later on 6pm to midnite, and two days later be on in the middle ofthe afternoon.

    You can't buy points there either but everything in the store has a price of zero so you can just claim it.

    I don't know if they are allowing people to upgrade prem accounts to VIP tho. I've heard people say it can't be done.
  16. Thanks.


    I was just looking at the recommended guild hosting site for making a cabal website for The Sercret World here


    http://www.guildlaunch.com/


    To see if there were any CoH themed cabals or how to make one but I have to admit I'm computer illiterate enough that I have no idea what they want when they ask you to enter a sub domain name.


    Does anyone know if this has been done already for ex coh players? If not maybe we can get organized and make one.

    At the very bottom it lists a handful of what they are calling
    "Community Cabal Factionless"

    How are they making factionless Cabals?
    Not trying to be a pest about this but does anyone have any idea how people made those factionless cabals that are listed in the above link?


    Is it just a chat channel

    Is it a group using something like a guildportal site

    Or is it possible to actually make a factionless cabal in the game

    If there is any actual hostility it's directed at the fact that the automated system is listing items that can't be unlocked.

    --NT
    I don't know where they are, tho I've seen a few screenshots of what their interiors should look like, but overall they are a huge grindfest to unlock anything. Which is the whole point behind the PWE philosophy. Retaining players by adding grindfests rather than actual meaningful content.

    See the reason I hate their ground combat is because ours was so much better here. About the only thing I like about the character avatars is the customization the costume creator allows for the heads.

    Those tools would have been a fantastic addition to our costume creator and to be honest SW:TOR should have had something similar. Being stuck with choosing 10 versions of human with variations of skin color and a few facial props was a huge disappointment.

  22. NCSoft has been silent about saying anything about whats going on here, and I don't think there's anyone left that can release news pieces at Paragon Studios.

    If I'm one of the ones that didn't recognize a Beatles song it's only because I'm not familiar with their entire body of work. When it comes to music I like bits and pieces from all genres but if it's not a song I like I quickly forget about it. Sorry.
