That's not what happened. The rep system still works the exact same way it did. Viewing rep comments on a Users CP was turned off due to the fact that it was too easy for users to bypass the ignore function and those not wanting to even take part in the rep system were forced to do so. It had nothing to do with moderation as it's very easy to moderate rep comments and those leaving them.
We still would like to find a way to implement it so the comments are viewable however we will not do it unless we find a way for those not interested in it to turn it off.
Thanks for taking the time to explain things Niv. You mods are the greatest. -

I'm surprised we see as many cars as we currently do. With all the crap that happens in Paragon the insurance rates must be astronomical.

As far as I know, and I've followed this entire thread, no one who has posted here is against the name purge.
You are right. No one has said they were against name purges. -

I just rolled up a religous themed Fire/Fire scrapper and on the first try nabbed the name . . .
Now all I have to do is come up with some philosophical BS to put in his bio. -

Or, you know, maybe you're just full of it. Because I can tell you this from personal experience, cultivating a reputation as a man who responds to challenges with his fists doesn't keep fights away from you. It brings them on. Until eventually you fight somewhere public enough that the police catch up to you and haul your disruptive and unruly *** out of polite society for a couple of years. Meanwhile, the grown ups have learned to handle our pride without all the chest thumping and urine measuring. Well, less of it anyway.
Now, as for that last bit, let's just be clear as to what exact insult you are attempting to lob at me. Are you saying that my family doesn't have a good name? Or that I am too cowardly to defend it? Or are you suggesting instead that I don't love my family if I don't feel the need to punch people on their behalf?
Let's be honest Blood. There's a huge difference between looking for trouble and not backing down from it when it comes looking for you. -
Quote:Everytime I see someone demand names get released or get them tied to global names I'm reminded of this . . .Originally Posted by Dispari
I think this is the heart of the argument. I have no sympathy for people trying to name their character "Darkness" or "Doctor Lightning." Yes, I understand there's such a thing as a superhero name and that involves things like Superman and Batman. But even if you want to follow in their footsteps and be boring and uninspired, if there's already a Wombatman out there, why do you still want to be Wombatman?
Do you think you have more claim to the name than whoever has it? Do you not care that the name you selected for your superhero, to be identified and recognized by and known as, is already taken? Or do you just not care at all?
The naming system is only a problem with both of the following are true: 1) You come up with a name that's so generic, obvious, and predictable that someone already thought of it, and 2) you refuse to consider any alternatives because you feel as though you should have that name anyway.

But then I don't have trouble coming up with unique names. -

Your wife is beautiful, intelligent, funny, and an all around wonderful person. Also she doesn't look a day over 18. We are lucky to have someone like her playing this game.
You are wise to listen to her because she knows what is best for you.

Ok. Because there are totally so many people complaining about being frivolously reported for no good reason. Sounds to me like you're worried that you might be guilty of something, and are looking for a way out of getting reported, by suggesting that anyone notifying a moderator is wasting their time. I just calls em as I sees em.

Possibly. That's not really the discussion at hand, however.
When the modstick comes out I want it used fairly against all parties involved.
Every petition filed by an overly sensitive snowflake is time wasted by a mod. -

The obvious solution would have been to 30 day BAN people from posting in the forums, who post ****ed up **** in rep comments.
and I do not mean ban them from Rep comments for 30 I mean KICK THEM OUT of the forums all together for 30 days.
Do it twice and be kicked out for life. -

Release Names or Tie to Global:
Because:
- I'm too lazy to come up with a unique name!
- I'm not creative to come up with a new name!
- I'm jealous and envious of the fact he/she came up with the name before I could have it all for myself, so make it so I can have it too!
- That name is the bestest ever and we should all be able to have it too! (pout that I didn't get the bestest name ever for me!)
Did I miss anything? -

Quote:No, they are implying that we have a lot of players that are under the age of 18 and are still in school and therefore aren't as educated as some other players.Originally Posted by Thaumator
If you're implying that anyone who supports this idea is uneducated, I suggest you reread your sentence again. Epic... fail.
This thread "What my six year old has learned from CoX" is a great example that we do indeed have players that haven't finished their formal educations yet.

I think a server merger with Eu could turn out to be interesting... But would create some more language problems. Some people have trouble learning english, and I don´t think they would have fun being ignored because they don´t speak it..

Well there is that problem obviously, but yesterday i was logged in to the french servers for about an hour or so and the majority of people there had a good understanding of english. Obviously isnt ideal though.
Actually it isn't a problem at all. There are currently players on the NA servers that are from South America and few of them are hampered by a language barrier. We also have players from Japan.
I've gotten several tells in Spanish over the years from players that thought I understood that language based on the names of some of my characters.
I know there's at least one Brazilian SG out there that caters to the players that are both bilingual and monolingual on the NA servers. There's nothing that would stop EU players from doing the same thing as they expanded into other servers and vice versa for us going onto their servers.
I welcome the chance to game with our EU brothers and sisters. I also look forward to picking up a few words and phrases in whatever boobely boobely language they speak. -

Never mine. I finally remember how to get one. You have to do a mission to get one. I had not play coh in a long time so had forgotten.
The MAC Edition/Valkyrie pack also unlocks a single design cape you can use at level 1. -

Posting is also another method by which people are being harassed on the forums.
Guess they should chuck that too?
The people that got the comments removed were the ones making comments they would never say in an open forum where their names were attached. -

You can still get those comments. People just need to email you instead. Therefore, frankly... you're not losing anything.

Well, I always assumed the reasoning with those zones was something like Vanguard/The Midnight Squad basically telling everyone "Look, the Rikti/Nictus are going to Take Over The World/Destroy the time stream, and if they win we'll all be SCREWED. So Unless you want to be Riktified/Possessed by a Nictus/Killed, then stop fighting for 5 minutes and HELP US!"
So Heroes and Villains help each other because the world is at stake. Heroes out of heroics, villains out of self preservation (Or if you're like me and my fixation with "Good" Redside toons, Also Heroics).
Here's an idea though... What about a PVP Layer?
There could be two layers for every zone. One that's labeled PVE, and can only be accessed by people of an appropriate faction (So, PVE Cap Au Diable could only be accessed by Villains, Vigilantes, and Rogues),
and a PVP version that is open to anyone, but in which PVP Fighting is allowed, normally neutral NPCs would be hostile if you're of the opposing faction.
Therefore, we'd have a cross factional system that not only made sense, but it also doesn't disrupt normal game flow. ((And of course, there could be PVP Scaling in these layers as well.))
This game was designed around PvE. It has never had a significant PvP population. Most players avoid PvP with a passion.
Why is this important? Because with the current setup of 4 PvP zones per server the insignificant number of PvPers we currently have, which are scattered across 11 servers, have trouble finding opponents.
And (generic you) you guys think it will be easier to find opponents spread across 45 zones and 11 servers?
The only open world PvP idea I'll support would be a dedicated PvP server. The PvPers could then go there to pound the snot out of each other while the rest of us play the game in peace and quiet.
