I suggest you read before posting.

Yeah, but they don't want to hear that. They'll dismiss it with the usual "Just because the devs said that doesn't make it true." argument or the "They said the same thing about power customisation." whine.

A person who meets all of his promotion requirements can reach the rank of 0-6 (Colonel in the Air Force) in 12 1/2 years. And that's based on the minimum time in grade required by federal law.

0-2 - 2nd Lt - 18 months - Fully qualified (nearly 100 percent)
0-3 - 1st Lt - 2 years - Fully qualified (nearly 100 percent)
0-4 - Captain - 3 years - Best qualified (80 percent)
0-5 - Major - 3 years - Best qualified (70 percent)
0-6 -Colonel - 3 years - Best qualified (50 percent)

So it's very possibe for someone who goes to college/ROTC or a military acadamy and graduates around the age of 24 to be a colonel by the time they are 40.

And that's not counting things like battlefield promotions or the automatic increase in rank that comes with certain military awards for heroism.

And that's why this will never work. When the Market was added to the game the devs told us there was something like 300 trillion inf sitting stagnant on various palyers accounts and millions more has been getting added every day.

Reducing the amount of inf being generated isn't going to do squat if there isn't sufficient inf sinks to remove it first.

Just an FYI if you do decide to buy the game you should know that if you buy an older copy because it's cheaper you won't get access to anything that was added with the Going Rogue Edition and after.

Don't take this the wrong way because the old game is still great, but you'll have to buy Going Rogue to get access to the Praetorian content, and the Incarnate System.

I haven't seen the plaque but if it's there then it was put there after the devs changed their minds on adding the launch pads.

Sorry I didn't check this thread when I first got the PM. Been a little busy. Let's see I'll answer this in order.

First, if a character is petitioned over a name it doesn't get banned. The name gets genericed. The GM's change the name to something like Generic Hero 0000065465, and they send you an email telling you to think of I think 3 alternative names which the GM's will check and give you the first one that isn't already in use.

Now if the character is really low level it might be easier for you to just remake it.

GM's don't usually go to banning unless the person is a repeat offender who has been warned several times, or if they go out and buy a rename token and change the name back or to something else offensive or copyrighted/trademarked.

Hope that helps.

Swinging where theres nothing to swing from is just one of the powers that looks silly and stupid when used in the wrong location. Another example is how a lot of their powers look silly when they are being used in underwater missions.

Where exactly did I ever say I hate the power? I said it looks silly and stupid in the wrong zones. That's a far cry from hate.

I didn't say that. I said it was one of the reasons the game was failing. One implies there are other that also contribute to the games failure.

I think I've been pretty consistant in my statements that it wasn't the only problem that game is having.

What PP does is say one thing and then a few weeks/months later she does a complete 180 and claims the opposite.

Like here where she told us she cancelled her LTS and got her money back.




And then told us that she kept her LTS because she didn't want to go to all the trouble to get it refunded.




And I haven't done any of that here.

Just a warning but that hero name you chose could get petitioned and genericed for being offensive and trying to get around the profanity filter. I'm saying this because I got nailed when someone petitioned a character I had named Phart the Dispersing.

It could happen right away or even months from now. There's no way to know when or if someone will make a complaint.

Help yourself, they aren't mine.

No I didn't.

In order for your argument to have any merit I would first have to be selling something you wanted and then decide to give it to you for free instead of selling it.

I'm not selling anything so I'm not out anything.

Since we have individual security permissions for our bins now, have you considered a public/private list setting for the bins? That way all bins set to public would list their contents, but the private ones would be filtered out.

More likely the game engine wasn't designed to allow it. Maybe in CoH2.

Wrong. I'm just an average player and it's stupid looking powers are one of the main reasons I rarely play the game even tho I have a lifetime sub. Furthermore being a participant in several different game forums I know for a fact that when that game gets brought up one of the reasons people give for quitting that game is the stupid looking powers.

The why is it they can't teleport on top of me if I'm standing under cover where their line of sight is blocked from their ships?

Their dwindling population that has forced them to go F2P says it is one of the problems they are having.

Income is money. People don't pay for server transfers with goats.

Yeah you totally caught me off guard with that.


I was totally focused on it's use and abuse between players and the Freakshows automatic responses never crossed my mind.

So you want the devs to go to the trouble of programming a low flying hero/villain/jet/rikti bombship/arachnos flyer that is always conviently flying over your head. That's even more ridiculous.

Dimensional portals aren't solid objects. They are openings between dimensions that allow matter to pass thru them from one reality to the next. Your hook would pass thru the portal not attach to it.

Outlier groups? Prove it. Link the official datamining from NCSoft that confirms that statement.

Rikti still require line of sight to teleport so the war walls keep the ground forces localized in the zone they are attacking.

Yeah I'm just spitballing.

Leet came up in a discussion about how it's use in conversations between players is generally frowned upon because the people using it are usually rude and immature and are using it to get around profanity filters. The fact that there is an NPC group that uses it wasn't relevant to the subject being discussed.

I'm sorry if you missed that.

And exactly how often are you receiving Tells from NPC's?

The last time I played the NPC's only had preprogrammed responses that they said when you got within range of them. That's a far cry from trying to have an intelligent conversation with another player.
