    That's a healthy attitude to have. Sometimes we've had people take criticism / disagreement with ideas as personal attacks.

    Translation: Screw the players that like the new low level TF's that were just added, and the low level qol's. The issue sucks because the devs didn't focus solely on stuff you like.

    Sorry that award is still held by Issue 15. Stop being so melodramatic.
  4. The only person forcing you to grind anything is yourself because of your obsession to have stuff as soon as possible. Take a break and something else. You don't win a prize for getting stuff first.
  5. Too funny Steel.

    I'm also thrilled that they finally added the Help Me! / Helper feature. I was one of the people suggestion colored titles to help us identify new players and/or trial accounts so we could tell at a glance that they might need assisitance or that they had limited communication ability.

    This is a huge step in the right direction.

    If it were being misused I would agree with you but it isn't. The OP doesn't want to wait for a reward that is given out to everyone in a fair and unbiased method. No one is given special treatment and gets anything before the time allotted.

    As a result the OP posted some flimsy justifications to explain why he should be allowed to get vet rewards early.

    1. He blatantly misrepresents how long he has to wait to get the vet rewards he wants. He claims the wait is 3 years when in fact we get 6 costume sets as vet rewards during the first year. Two more sets are given the second year, and the last two are given the third year.

    2. He implies that the game lasting this long was a fluke. This logic flies in the face of the fact that there are plenty of MMO's that have lasted just as long and even longer.

    Ultima Online - 1997
    Lineage 1 - 1998
    Lineage 2 - 2003
    The Realm Online - 1996
    Meridian 59 - 1996
    Furcadia - 1996
    Nexus: Kingdom of the Wind - 1996
    Tibia - 1997
    Star Wars Galaxies - 2003
    WoW - 2004
    Guild Wars - 2005
    EVE - 2003
    Dark Age of Camelot - 2001
    RuneScape - 2001


    3. He implies that people will be less interested in playing the game if they have to wait to get a vet reward.

    All that adds up to entitlement issues.
  8. Don't necropost dead threads. This idea was gone and forgotten.

    1. Yes heroes should have to buy GR and go thru sideswapping IF they want to have aa powerset from the Patron pool that fits their character.

    2. Then using your faulty logic you wouldn't count the respec trial respecs because they are also restricted to levels that are too high to reroll a character.

    Patron Power Respec available at level 41
    Trial respecs available at levels 24, 34, and 44.

    3. It's ridiculously easy to switch sides and it's available all year long as opposed to waiting for a freespec or an event to buy one.

    The Patron respec stays on the list.


    And /signed to simplifying respes, but /unsigned to the methods suggested above.

    Store down?

    Do you mean the online store where we can get server transfers etc.? The only ingame stores are the NPC vendors and the market.

    Server Status

    Why would they bother fixing the EU serer status page after the merge when you guys will be using the NA server status page?

    I identify with Eli, but Greer is still my favorite character.

    Is it me or did Rush seem a bit more human at the end. I think the events of late have been slowing changing him into a better Rush. Not a perfect one, but a better one.
    It's not just you but just as with Eli, yanking his girlfriend away like this gives the writers an excuse to make him start acting like he was before.

    Well I see the writers are still crappin on Eli. Rush get's lucky and Eli is forced to lose Gin a second time.

    Telfords still up to his schemes to take over Destiny and has screwed up the SGC's chances to use that planet to resupply our heroes. I wouldn't be surprised if he was still working for the Lucien Alliance.

    I hope Greer gets better.

I hardly use vaults at all. I use bins a very small amount, but I could change to where they aren't needed.
    Well if you ever decide to get rid of the bins then the base should be free unless you use those tables that create those 15 minute inspiration thingy's.

    For me the only reasons I use the stuff that incurs rent is because the items fit the theme of the room I'm decorating, and I like stuff that lights up. And like you I rarely use a base far any type of transportation.

    I think the only thing I actually use is the crafting table, and even that isn't often.

    We've already learned how to get multiple Amy Ponds so we just keep doing that and there will be enough for everyone to have two of her.

    The OP may not have been playing long enough to be familiar with how drive by buffing pisses off some players or how other players try to use certain powers to disrupt other players enjoyment of the game.

    Yeah What a jerk I am for encouraging the OP to keep thinking of ideas and suggesting them rather than getting discouraged by people not liking this idea.
  20. Yeah it depends on how you play the game. Some people like maximizing their builds for different activities.

Fun fact, there's virtually no reason to use a base outside of ease of use getting to hazard zones via beacons. I have taken breaks that lasted for months only to see the base rent left unpaid while I was gone. What this tells me is that bases are generally not needed. Great idea, horrible execution, ignored for way too long, and now what little features it does do have been streamlined elsewhere to where the base's version of it is hardly used. Ever.
    If you think bases aren't needed anymore Amy then don't use them. You can't claim you need them for storage because the email feature let's us store more stuff on our accounts than we can ever hope to store in a base.

    The most a base can hold is 1800 items.

    The most our accounts can hold until the server lists merge

    NA Account (144-396 characters)
    Inspiration slots - 2,880/7,920
    Invention Salvage slots - 9,360/25,740
    Recipe Slots - 3,600/9,900
    CH Transaction slots - 3,168/8,712 (then in stacks of 10) 31,680/87,120
    Vault - 7,200/19,800
    Email - 20 global slots

    So since you don't need a base for storage or transportation, you have no reason to have a base at all unless you enjoy base building.

    You seem to have forgotten Issue 15. That was the only issue that was overhyped and a huge letdown.

    That map doesn't bother me in the least. The one I absolutely loathe and despise is the 4-5 level cave room where your running around in circles around the edge of the room.
  25. Looks great. I may even pay to see it.
