    If you don't buy GR, then you can not do the Praetoria content, nor can you do the side switching. You will still be able to do all the stuff the is released for Issue 18. So yes, this is very similar to when CoV was released and you would not have access to bases unless you bought it.

    Not when the problem is kicking your door down (so to speak). Really though Dec, we need to move on to a different subject. This has gone beyond gross. If you have any more then just send me a private tell.

    GMan, what was wrong with i17?
    It took them almost three weeks to fix all the bugs they released with it. Everything from mission bugs, to Globals problems to animation problems, to market problems, etc. . . On top of that was the ENORMOUS lag in every zone. I actually thought that the lag might have been my own issues with my ISP at first, but everyone I talked to AND a lot of people on the various global channels I am a member of complained about the lag. Worst part was, it didn't matter how many people were on the server either. All in all, Issue 17 was probably one of the worst, if not THE worst Issue release I have seen to date. It simply wasn't ready.

    It says EXCEPT for weekends in the announcement. Don't feel bad, I missed it the first time I read it too.

    Based on your date for joining the forums I see you have been around for a little while, so let me just ask you this - Would you rather have something released before it was ready or would you rather the Dev's listen to the beta testers and pull it to work on it some more? I personally have seen many Issues released before they were ready and the beating my fun takes due to that is pretty bad. I actually have come pretty close to quitting the game for this very reason on at least three occasions now (Issue 17 being the most recent). I do agree that it is disappointing AND they never should have announced it in the first place unless it was already a done deal. On the other hand, I also think they did the right thing by pulling it and applaud them for it.
  6. Look Dec, you take your fiber and I'll go with the prunes and water (btw, I HATE prunes with a passion) and we'll see who feels better faster. Fiber is great for preventing constipation, but takes a long time to get rid of it if you already have it.

    Anyways, this got much more disgusting than intended and I'm done with it.

    Sorry to argue a joke here, but a constipated person does not need fiber. That would only make the situation worse. Prunes would help relieve the situation though, as would a LOT of blue berries.

    Did it for me several days back. Might be you just didn't notice when it happened. I almost missed it myself.

  10. Yea! An EU only giveaway! Maybe now certain people can stop whining (yea right, no chance of that) over the lack of EU love. Of course that means now the Latin American crowd will start chiming in. *Sigh*

    Seriously, I am glad to see this. I am a fair is fair type of person, so this is a good move in my opinion.

    Good Job Paragon Studios!

    Do you think Veteran Rewards actually bring in new players that wouldn't otherwise play?
    I'm a little mystified by your post here, so I will try to answer your statements and NOT try to figure out your point.

    New players and liking the Vet system you answered yourself so I won't go any farther except to say that I have not found ANY new players that do not like the Vet system. I have talked to some that do not like the costume aspects of it, but love the overall idea.

    Do I believe someone will quit immediately over wings at XX months because they don't want to wait? Uhm . . . no. That is silly to even suggest. See my previous paragraph for a fuller explanation.

    Will the Vet system bring in new players? What? It was never even intended for that. It is intended to keep people like me happy who have spent $15 a month for 12 months a year for 6 years (total of $1080.00 or there abouts). It gives us more goals other than tricking out ANOTHER toon.

    Lasty ShaneBattle, I will ask you to clarify what your point was so I can truly respond to your post. As it stands now I can only assume I have answered you and I hate assuming anything.

    No problem. Too be honest I caught her "good bye address" only after she left and completely on accident. Seems she found a "better opportunity" somewheres else. No idea where though.
  13. I have to admit that this got me even more excited for the release. Even though nothing new was said, it is getting so close you can almost taste it. On a side note, I find myself agreeing with Electric Knight again which is really disturbing!

    You can't PM her anymore because she doesn't work there anymore. As for a GR kit, I highly doubt that would come out before the release of the game itself. To be honest, I wouldn't expect to see it for at least six months after release at the earliest, if even then.
  15. These last few posts on this thread is what worries me most about this on-line Q&A. The first one they did was full of just these lame kinds of questions, not to mention the "What's your favorite drink?" one (someone should have been tortured for wasting everyone else's time on asking that and someone else should be shot for picking it to answer). I'm still hoping for a quality Q&A like they did the second time, but I think I will skip the live version and just read the notes later on. Seems a better plan than waiting around for an hour and getting severely annoyed again.

    My guess is yes on this one since it is the only way to get a jet pack that I know of (other than the in-game one's you can buy). All in all not worth the trouble of a post on ZAM'a website for me, but some people will like it, so good for them.
  17. Decent article. Nothing really new, but still gets the juices flowing from the excitement of wondering. I am so glad I refused to join beta testing now!
  18. Wow, excellent write-ups, good screen shots and a great video. I am impressed. Of course, the impatient side of me still wants MORE. But I can be patient a little while longer. Good job Paragon Studios!
  19. Cardiff Giant, I have a hard time feeling your pain since I only run one account and refuse to pay for a second, but I do see your point. For your sake and the people like you, I hope they take your argument into consideration. I would suggest e-mailing customer support and asking about it, the worst they can say is no.
  20. Hey, can anyone tell me what servers exactly are dead? I only ask because I was told my primary server, Guardian, is one of them, yet I never seem to have a problem getting a team or even a 8 toon TF/SF together at almost any time of day or night. Would be nice to know though.

    Actually, I'll be suprised if they don't. I would bet on just that announcement coming either Thursday or Friday. That way people stew over it all weekend.
  22. I am 50/50 on this one. The last Q&A was really good, but the one before that was AMAZINGLY BAD. Then they go an mix the date up in there own forums anouncement. Doesn't lend itself to any trust here. Anyways, we shall see I guess.

    I can see your point, but really, how many people start this game intending to play for the next 5 years? Only a small portion even do stay that long and as a Vet, while I do agree that the Veteran System is a good idea, I also feel putting costume parts/art into it was a bad idea. The other powers and such (as I stated above) are probably the best way to go in my opinion.
  24. Personally, if we are going to start asking for certain "desires" for the Veteran Rewards I would suggest things that are less tangible than costume pieces or costume art. I never liked that you had to be a Vet for X months to get costume pieces. That seems a little unfair to me and I have been playing since 2004. The things I do like are:

    travel power at level 6 (maybe move that to 27 months though)
    respecs (really though 5 is more than enough)
    the +5% to inspirs
    the removing the "fog of war" from the maps power
    base teleporter
    reward merits
    additional character slots for the server of your choice
    the perma temp attack powers
    the assemble the team power
    base items
    bonus to sg prestige
    additional salvage/recipe/selling slots

    It seems to me that keeping to this kind of reward is less likely to create such angst in the more needy crowd out there.
  25. This issue has not been happening to me, but I have several friends that are trying to get back into the game before GR starts up (and can't) so I hope it gets fixed soon.
