Quote:Your definition of that. Not necessarily theirs.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
No, because if they chose to live like that, it'd mean the same crimes against humanity happening as are being done now under Tyrant - which isn't an option.
You intend to invade another dimension and impose your way of life on them. Whether or not it's better is irrelevant. You are invading and destroying a civilization, because you don't like it. Don't try to change that. It's invasion you're talking about. It's sending people to their deaths. Lovingly of course... -

It'd be morally wrong to allow them to continue with a dictatorship.
How are you different from Cole then? -
Quote:Uhuh.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
It's not enforcing - they're going to be given the freedom to choose how they want to live
And just how are you going to act towards them if after a grisly war where the current way of life is forced out the door, the people actually turn around and want to maintain their utopia as it is? -

Primal Earth is bringing choice to Praetoria
Have you asked people if they wanted to be saved lately? Oh right.. they're hopped up on Enriche.. They have no choice, so it's okay to enforce the ways of Primal Earth onto them.
Right..
yah.. -

Basically it's a choice between living in a Lawful Evil empire, or face certain death at the hands of giant monster mutant things. I guess that's not much of a choice.
And where in either choice do you see Love and Compassion? I don't.
Cole shows neither (he fakes it, sure, it just isn't there) and the Resistance.. meh.. not so much as well. Love and Compassion would mean not making bombs out of people or even creatures (ghouls) for that matter.
People are selfish. -

Yes - because they're basic to being a human being.
If faced with a choice between life and death, people will choose life. It's called self preservation and the system in Praetoria is such that self preservation is quite the hot topic. Whether you're on the dark side or the light (you figure out which is which. I can't tell a difference really) the struggle to stay alive is the main driver.
And don't tell me you're different. The only way you'd be different is when you are nowhere near human. -

I could be wrong, but isn't there a warning message that tells you if a mission is timed?
-
- Council maps. All of them except the warehouses, suck. Bad.
- The layer cake. I hate the thing. Wouldn't be the first time I abandoned a mission that's in one of those or auto completed it.
- Any blue colored map. GAH! Details are nigh impossible to see making running into walls a new sport.
But, one thing in near 5 years has come of it... A LOT of my characters are now anywhere between 4- feet and 5- feet. At least then you don't scrape the ceiling... -
Well, for what it's worth I'll throw cents on the table on this one as well.
Having gotten all boosters so far, none have disappointed (in fact, one of them had a bonus of a wolftail... heh
).
That's what those were. Boosters. They had numbers and all.
I also got the GvE and Wedding pack, purely for the costume pieces that I valued in them. I'm not using them all mind you, but there was enough there to get them regardless. And apart from the weddingpack, they all came twofold as my son plays as well.
This pack however I will probably pass on, since it holds no interest for me. Costumes are used for me in my everlasting altitis and on 4+ year old characters with 40ish costumechanges left (love it when an issue grants me new ones on characters with 5 slots lol!!)
There is a distinct difference in boosters and packs as far as I'm concerned. As long as boosters don't turn into packs, I'm not worried.
I'm simply not spending money on something I don't see value in. No matter how much I like the game and the people developing it..
To each their own, I can't get worked up over it to be honest. -
Personally I'd rather see some datamining done forst to get get actual numbers on how often pieces are used (if possible), mining amongst possible other things:
1) All pieces on characters
2) Activity of the account
3) Last time a character was logged on
points 2 and 3 are there obviously to not have to take into account pieces on characters that are no longer active...
After that piece of mining (which will indeed take time and effort, as does every option really), the choice would be clearer in my opinion.
If not feasible though, I'm siding with you Noble, if only to avoid unnecessary clutter. -
Quote:In the review (that I painstakingly managed to watch to the end.. My hernia is less painful really) and in here, basically all I'm hearing you say is if it don't get me no XP or fat lewt, it sucks monkey nuts!
events I tried doing did not give xp, so I stopped bothering.
The game has improved immensely since starting way back when, there are other things besides powerlevelling or PvP (granted though, PvP is underpopulated in CoX, but it's not an area of interest of mine to be honest).
In an earlier post another review was linked, please do yourself a favor and learn from it before doing something like this again. Also, to be taken seriously as a reviewer... don't swear as much as you did or raise your voice. It's pretty immature..
