    Of course, I won't blame anyone if they purged it from their mind.
    What's so annoying about toggle auto attack and read a book/watch tv?

    Maybe it depends on the server and time of day, but I've seen KR getting frequent use on many occasions. I suspect it's because some people like the AP safeguard where the Hellions drop magic salvage.

    I'm not back up over my own points. I still love caves and feel that they are some of the more interesting terrain, and that's coming from me running a Mastermind through them RIGHT NOW. But if you hate cave missions, then you'll hate all applications of cave missions.
    I don't hate cave maps just specific "rooms". Mostly Council/5th Column cuz it's frustrating ferreting out all the hidden NPC's. But I still wish I could put them in my base. So many places to hide and set traps for for attackers with base defenses.

    And the decorative items in the Council bases are so much cooler than the crap we have in our base editor.

    Up here I've seen 8 flavors. Cola, Orange, Grape, Blue-something (It tastes nasty), diet Blue (Which tastes worse than nasty), Cherry, Passion Fruit, Silver (Lemon-Lime), and Sugar Free Ultra (also nasty).

    When I can find them I like their resealable cans.




    I hear the Aussies can get root beer and cream soda flavors.

    This would be so awesome, along with an AE terminal and they could use the Raid TP to access AE missions so it has more uses than just to run the CoP.

    True, but those aren't everyday occurrences most people have to worry about.

    Must be a local thing cuz I can still find them in convenience stores up in my area of Pa.
  9. I've use different methods.

    1. In the largest SG I maintain I have the beacons arranged alphabetically

    2. While in my Villain SG the beacons are arranged by level.

    3. In my solo SG I have the Pocket D beacon off by itself on one side of the base entrance with another set of porters set up for raid/trial access (Hami, RWZ, Terra Volta) with room to add Praetorian beacons if we ever are allowed to cross over freely. Then on the other side of the base entrance I have the beacons to my preferred zones arranged by level.

    It's been gratifying to be starting a TF, find the person has been invited, then tell the leader what happened in the past, then watch the leader boot them. Friends are great things to have when they stick up for you.
    I absolutely love the star/notes feature. Globals can get cycled off ignore lists when spammers are out in force or purged when someone is doing spring cleaning. (I spring clean my list once or twice a year) The star/notes don't go away.

    Heh. You just reminded me of back when I worked Directory Assistance at AT&T. One of the supervisors was a useless excuse for a human being and we learned by accident when she was remotely monitoring us that she couldn't stand really bright colors on the computer screen.

    So we developed an early warning system to let us know when she was listening in on our calls. Whenever she was working on the floor we'd go into Windows properties and change the all the colors to the blinding neon white on white.

    Before you knew it she was going up to the person she was going to monitor and telling them to change the colors back to normal. That was the persons heads up to be on their best behavior until they saw her tell someone else to change their color scheme.

    It took that knucklehead a year and a half to figure out what we were doing. She spent another 6 months complaining to her boss about what we were doing before he told her to her face that he thought what we were doing was funny as hell and if she didn't like it she could quit.

    Ya know after all these years I'm no longer surprised at what people will do to make money, what always surprises me is that people are willing to pay these prices.

    Rant about Caves

    Funny thing about the cave maps is that the ones that I hate because they are a pain in the *** to fight in are the exact same ones I want to be able to use in my base designs if base raids were working properly.

    What sucks to attack is glorious to defend.
  14. I like it where it concerns sniper powers. It always irked me slightly that they aren't one shot one kill, but I learned to live with it because I realized the devs can never please everyone.

    Your the one to blame for your choice in servers. You could always choose to play on a different server with a nonexistent PvP population, or pay for some server transfers to get what you want.

    Not flaming you, just do not want. IMO the tiny PvP population we currently have is spread out between too many zones. We don't need to add more zones that will spread them out even further.

    With all due respect Sam the AH automatically sends you a message whenever something gets sold. It's in nice friendly blue text. So the argument that you need to go to the AH to check doesn't hold any water.

    If someone is concerned that they may miss the AH message in their chat box they can simply open a new tab with just the AH channel in it. Then they'll never miss a message.

    That would be fine with me. I like the idea of giving both groups of players a choice in where they want to shop.

    Don't know if this helps any but according to drinksmixer.com, mixing 2 ounces of Dr. Pepper soda with 4 ounces of amaretto almond liqueur will get you an alcoholic drink that tastes the same as the soda.

    Tell me about it. I almost choked when I saw that they want $22.95 for a twelve pack of Cherokee Red. I can drive to my local supermarket and buy a 2 liter bottle of it for less than 1 dollar. Thank God I live in Pa where it's made.

    That's your opinion. I happen to love the AH in Praetoria. The room isn't large so it only takes a few seconds to walk over to one of the AH contacts and the peace and quiet is wonderful. No lag caused by jerks running all their toggles. No idiots hopping around in circles. No twits self destructing. No punks aggravating people with unasked for buffs. No stupid arguments when some loser gets offended because he was politely asked to turn off his toggles or stop buffing someone.

    That being said I don't expect them to carry it over to the other factions because Wentworths and the Black Market were designed to be in the actual open city zones. You don't have to enter a door to get to them.

    Yeah that's the one. Currently some of the PvPers are mad because there are people joining matches just to get ganked.

    They can't understand that getting killed are some of the PvP mission objectives, and some people aren't willing to sit around for hours waiting for matches to start. They want to finish the stupid missions and get on with the rest of the game. Their lives don't revolve around PvP matches.

    Personally I've frequently waited 2 hours for one lousy match to start.

    But but but It's not fair that they aren't fighting back! They're griefing us! They're jerks!

    Too darn funny.
  24. I'm of two minds on this. While I admit it would be very useful and I wouldn't object to it being added, part of me wants to be a hard*** and leave things as they are because nothing teaches people to pay attention more than holding them responsible for making a stupid mistake when they were impatient and got click happy while in a rush to do something else.
