If the stories were better written we'd probably be more willing to let things slide. For example I don't recall anyone complaining about how how nearly every group SG-1 and the Atlantis teams encountered always spoke perfect modern English.

Actually I was thinking of the movie the Nude Bomb. The original Get Smart movie.

Just curious but did you ever consider that since the devs frown on people using respecs to strip characters of enhancements they deliberately set the price just high enough to discourage people from doing that but kept it low enough that it is still affordable to the people that really need one to fix a build?

Just food for thought about their motivations.

So give him your extra code if you have one.

Denial and revisionist history all in one post. At least the OP isn't an underachiever.

Gamestop offered extra perks if you pre-ordered. That promotion is over now. You may find someone with an unused code but you'd have to search for them.

An episode based on physical characteristics? Are we talking about the crew of the Destiny encountering a microscopic organism that eats clothing thus forcing the female crew members to wear seashell bikini's?

Not according to Necrotech_Master. He has stated down in the suggestions section that he has tested on the live servers and found that if you do one sides respec trial and you have not used the respec you can switch sides and do the other factions trials from the lowest up and get all the badges.

But again remember you can only get them if the side you started on still says, "Talk to so-and-so to claim this respec."

Glad to hear something I provided was helpful.

Thanks for the info.

I do it all the time, I just use the respecs already available in the game to do it.

Actually they didn't say that we were lucky. The actual phrase was that that they were being generous when they decided to let us pull 10 enhancements off of a build.

To MaestroMavius:

The position the devs have taken has nothing to do with game balance, It's simply that respecs aren't intended to be used to strip characters of enhancements. Re4specs are designed to let players tweak their builds and correct poor slotting/power choices they feel they made.

However as the game evolved and they added things like multiple builds they acknowledged that people may need more respecs to make those corrections so they added more ways to get respecs. As it now stands there are more respecs available in the game than anyone ever needs for any one character.

To the OP:

The game has plenty of ways to get more than enough respecs to strip any character of it's enhancements.

Trial Respecs - 3 allowed per character
Vetspecs - 5 allowed per character
Patron Respecs - 1 allowed per character also available to heroes that switch sides and run the patron arcs
SOA Respecs - 1 onlly available to VEATs
Purchased Respecs - Unlimited but they don't stack
Freespecs - Unlimited but they don't stack
Respec Recipes - Unlimited but they don't stack
Holiday Respecs - Unlimited but they don't stack

If you aren't willing to aquire the respecs that have already been made available to you then suck it up and deal with it.



To everyone in general:

Out of curiosity has anyone tried doing all the respec trials on one faction then switching sides and doing the respec trials of the other faction to see if they would be awarded that factions trial respecs?

If that works that would open up 3 more trial respecs for players.

I forgot about that one.

Right. All they have is an empty compartment they converted to an infirmary with the scant medical supplies they brought thru the gate, and even if they used the stones to bring in a doctor/surgeon they still don't have the medical equipment a doctor/surgeon would need to patch him up.

And if they suddenly found the ship's actual medical facilities just in time to save his life I think I'd be even more offended at the bad writing.

That's the thing. The fact that he was still conscious after they tried to move the stuff off of him makes me think he wasn't that severely injured. If one or both of his femoral arteries had been injured then he'd have passed out from blood loss and been near death when they lifted the stuff off his legs. It really happens that fast.

If his injuries were severe enough that the pressure of the wreckage was the only thing keeping him from bleeding out, then the only way they could have gotten him back to the ship alive would be if they had a pair of MAST trousers to put on him which would have been inflated in order to keep the pressure on his lower extremities and prevented hemorrhaging until they got him back to the ship.

Why not? These threads are usually more interesting than the show.

Sorry but that's a garbage. If anything the crew would see it as an act of mercy by not letting him suffer a long slow agonizing death..

The OP is also assuming that the people that file petitions are stupid enough to return fire with their own volley of obscenities when just the opposite is true. What usually happens is they notify the GM's of the filth being spewed at them by the potty mouth and then politely bait them into digging their own graves while asking the GM, "are you seeing what this guy is saying to me?"

Want an example of this? Go check out the Rude Tells thread in this same section. (For some reason my ability to insert link isn't working) There's a post made by GreatRock, Post #4822, where she petitioned a jerk making derogatory comments and obscenities about women and she actually got to watch him get banned by the GM's.

Many of us have multiple accounts. Personally I have had up to 4 at one time. Multiple accounts make running things like personal SG's easier, and a lot of us don't keep those accounts active all the time, so it's very unlikely that those globals will be known to everyone in an SG.

That being said, it would be very easy for someone that managed to get the SL star to steal the SG (by kicking everyone), transfer leadership to one of his characters on his alternate account, and change the SG name. He can then quit the SG on his original character, and if asked by former SG mates, claim he quit the SG and that whoever got the SL slot after him is the guilty party.

CS/GM's are not going to get involved because we've been told that SL's are the defacto leaders and are the defacto owners of SG's and can do whatever they want. They also won't discuss the result of any petitions that get filed.

Well I was thinking of the time our SG leader got in an argument with the members about his behavior and kicked everyone from the SG and kept everything we had contributed for himself.

Another example is that there is a certain infamous SG on Virtue that makes a habit of inviting low level characters to teams in PI then hits them with SG invites and if they don't agree to join the SG they strand them in PI.

Actually it depends on the severity of the injury in his leg. A serious enough injury to the femoral triangle in just one of his legs could result in him dying from blood loss before they could finish extricating him from the wreckage and treat the injury.

And the "I'll kill you quietly" thing could have been easily handled by giving the kid a pistol and letting him finish himself off. My impression was that the kid knew he wasn't going to make it, and the only justification I'd accept for Young to smother him would be if the kid said he couldn't bring himself to commit suicide because of his religion.

I can easily imagine a few scenarios where it could be a problem, but only because I've seen or been a victim of a few of them. However I think they would be exceptions to the norm rather than something that would happen with any frequency.

I'm willing to agree to disagree.


While you do have a point it's also true that most of the player base were here when CoV was released and paid for those items, and just as CoV eventually merged with CoH becoming CoX, GR will most likely be merged with CoX in a year or two. When that happens the unique GR costumes will be available to everyone just like the unique CoV costumes are now.
